The Unemployed Demon Lord

Detaining Masefield now is just a bargaining chip and cannot be released casually.

What's more, Michelle is not old enough to play, and he doesn't understand these things at all. It is impossible for Masefield to be released.

Elizabeth's expression gradually became serious, and her voice sounded gentle, but with a hint of majesty.

"No, Masefield failed several missions and should be punished. You can't just let it go."

"I beg your mother, please let Sister Windsor go, she must have some unavoidable difficulties." Michelle clasped her hands together, showing a pleading look, with tears shining, "I really don't want to trouble you, but this Once, I hope you can make an exception..."

"Michelle, don't interfere with my decision in any way. The decision I make is beyond your control. This field is suitable for you and you can set foot in it. You just need to do your own thing well." Queen Elizabeth answered coldly.

"Mother..." Michelle still wanted to fight, and slowly approached this strange mother.

"Okay Michelle, it's getting late, you go back, I'm tired too." Queen Elizabeth unceremoniously put on an inaccessible look.

Michelle was like a deflated ball, and she didn't dare to say anything more, so she slowly left the bedroom.

"Good night, Queen Mother."

"Good night Michelle, have a sweet dream."

The bedroom door was slowly closed, and Michelle slowly opened her palm, and saw the royal badge lying quietly in her palm.

In the bedroom, Elizabeth opened the black box and took out her sapphire pendant

She looked at the name "Isabella" and fell into deep thought...

Imperial Prison.

This prison has an ancient history and is far away from the palace.

Some political prisoners are often held, but it is not the strictest prison in the empire.

The most rigorous prison in the empire is outside the capital, called Azkaban Prison, which is dedicated to detaining the most vicious prisoners in the empire.

Copperfield, the prince of the former kingdom, was imprisoned in Azkaban Prison and was closely monitored.

At this time, it was late at night, and a few strands of dark clouds were surging in the sky, covering the cold moonlight

The ordinary imperial prison ushered in a very special guest at this time. Princess Michelle of the empire visited late at night and asked to see Masefield.

Since Michel was wearing the administrative badge of the royal family, he hardly encountered any obstacles, and was led by the guards into the Imperial Prison.

The prison is still divided into men and women. Since Masefield is a Thorn Knight, the warden did not make it difficult for her and arranged a good single cell for her.

Masefield had already shed her heavy and shiny armor, put on her casual clothes, and instantly became a girl with a svelte figure.

Her lavender hair swayed slightly against the evening wind, and her face showed no trace of whiteness, making her look extremely cold.

Masefield sat on the cold ground, his heart was in a mess, and he had been thinking wildly since he entered the cell.

Why did Queen Elizabeth become like that?

In order to achieve his own goals, he began to use all kinds of unscrupulous means.

Even the dignity of being a royal can be discarded, and even such indecent moves as impersonation can be used?

Could it be that Elgin, the great swordsman who has hardly done any bad things, made His Majesty feel so uneasy?

And also imprisoned several Thorn Knights unceremoniously, what is the difference between this and self-defeating left and right hands?

If the Offrey family rebellion starts, who will deal with it?

There were bursts of worry in Masefield's heart, but at this moment Michelle's voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence of the prison.

"Sister Windsor!"

Michelle was wearing a white robe, she lifted the hood, and walked quickly to the prison.

"His Royal Highness Michelle..." Masefield stared wide-eyed, stood up quickly, and walked towards the princess, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm worried about you. If you don't come and see, you won't be able to sleep." Michelle's brows flashed with deep worry.

"Uh..." Masefield was speechless, his heart warmed up, and he said with a smile, "What can I do? I'm fine."

"I pleaded with the queen mother just now, but it didn't work. Sister Windsor, am I useless?" Michelle couldn't help feeling depressed, feeling that she couldn't help anything.

Masefield was surprised in his heart. He didn't expect Michelle to intercede for him, "Michelle, there's no need, don't do unnecessary things. The tasks assigned to me by His Majesty have repeatedly failed, and being punished is not something worthy of sympathy. , you don't need to do so much for me."

"But those things are not your fault..." Michelle was a little unbalanced.

"It's okay, I swear allegiance to Your Majesty, no matter what decision your Majesty makes, I will choose to respect it." Masefield said seriously, although she was dissatisfied with the Queen in her heart, she did not want Michelle to be involved in chaos.

"Well……"

Michelle lowered her head, thinking of the blue pendant just now, all kinds of doubts suddenly flooded her heart.

She felt that this matter should not be told to others, but it was very uncomfortable in her heart.

He is very suspicious now, is the current Elizabeth his real mother?

Michelle felt that Masefield was a trustworthy person, so she couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Sister Windsor, have you ever thought about my mother..."

"Actually, it's my dead aunt?"

Chapter 13: Monthly Ticket Addition

Masefield's heart trembled uncontrollably, it was hard to imagine how shocking words came out of Michelle's mouth.

Michelle is Elizabeth's own daughter, and now she actually questions her mother's identity! ?

Masefield collected himself a little, trying to be as serious as possible.

"Your Highness Michelle, don't talk nonsense. It is not a small matter for others to hear this sentence."

"I know it's not a small thing, but I really think so..." Michelle raised her head and asked seriously, "Don't sister Windsor think so? Sometimes the queen is too much like my aunt..."

Masefield did not speak, but chose to remain silent, because as Michelle said, this illusion was not once or twice, but Elizabeth's sister had been dead for a long time, and she was present when she was buried.

"I feel that the current queen mother is my aunt, not my mother..." Michelle dared to tell the truth only in front of Masefield.

"Your Highness Michelle, don't talk nonsense, or you will cause trouble!" Masefield said in a very serious tone, for fear that the little princess would think wildly.

"Sister Windsor, I'm not talking nonsense. Just now I saw the pendant my grandfather gave to my mother. Isabella's name was written on it, but my aunt buried it with this pendant long ago. It is impossible for my mother to get it back. Thinking about it, I'm afraid there is only one explanation..." Michelle didn't mean to be joking at all, hoping to get Masefield's approval.

Masefield had a numb expression on his face. Hearing what Michelle said, her originally peaceful heart suddenly set off a stormy sea.

He also has a little impression of that sapphire pendant. When he first became a knight, Elizabeth even said that he would give it to him.

However, Masefield felt that this was not good, so he refused, but what the hell was Isabella's name written on the back of Elizabeth's pendant!It's so abnormal.

"Maybe...maybe it's just a coincidence..."

Masefield responded in a cold sweat, still unwilling to believe such a terrible thing. It was not Elizabeth who ruled, but Isabella who ruled for so long, and no one knew it. This is the rhythm of subjugation every minute.

"It can't be a coincidence. Since my aunt passed away, I feel that my mother has changed. No one can understand my mother better than me." Michelle's eyes were serious, hoping that Masefield could believe in herself.

Masefield's expression was a little bit abrupt, and he thought about it a little bit in his heart. Combining the Queen's actions on weekdays and the sapphire pendant incident, it seems that there is a lot of suspiciousness, and she looks too much like Isabella.

Elizabeth and Isabella are twin sisters, if you want to pretend to be queen, there is no difficulty at all.

If what Michelle said is true, the current Elizabeth is pretending to be Isabella, and this matter becomes extremely complicated.

"Your Highness Michelle, are you serious? Did you lie?"

"Sister Windsor, why would I lie at this time?" Michelle asked back, frowning her brows and looking extremely serious.

Masefield calmed down a little, and asked calmly, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

"Now I don't have the support of any forces. I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate this matter, so I plan to seek support." Michelle's thinking is quite clear. She didn't question her mother immediately, but chose to ask for foreign aid.

Masefield fell silent, thinking that Michelle was reasonable, and that this investigation might have a bearing on the fate of the entire empire.

If possible, Masefield would like to help Michel secretly, but now that he is in prison, it may be difficult to act.

"Your Highness, who do you plan to find to support you?"

"Duke Rose of Wales, most of the Royal Army is now heading to the northern defense line of England to resist the Ofrey family. His power is enough to shake the current King's Guard Army." Michelle's thinking is very clear, and even the candidates for foreign aid have been determined.

"Is the Duke of Rose willing to help you?" Masefield became puzzled. He had heard all kinds of rumors about this extremely low-key Lord Duke who was indifferent.

"Yes." Michelle nodded heavily, and said in an affirmative tone

"I and Cecilia, the daughter of the Duke of Rose, are both seminary students at the seminary..."

◇

Wrexham half a month later.

The chaos of the empire has gradually been revealed and become known to everyone.

Although the empire's officials did not release the news, many people knew it well.

The news that Grand Duke Offrey is about to rebel and the civil strife in the empire is about to start is constantly circulating in the market.

Because Elizabeth sent troops from all over the country to gather in the north of England, it was too obvious, and it was obvious that there was a tendency to encircle the territory of the Ofrey family.

The impact of this action was significant, and it instantly covered up Queen Elizabeth's deception of the people. Most people were concerned about the civil war in the empire.

Many people are worried that the empire will fall into an era of turmoil. Seeing such a huge move by the royal family this time, the people are in bursts of panic.

At this time, Earl Austin, the lord of Wrexham, also responded to Queen Elizabeth's call and sent the family's private army to join the turmoil to protect the peace of the empire.

And this time the leader of the Austin family is none other than the eldest son Arnold.

The townspeople of Wrexham came out one after another to say goodbye, throwing flowers in the sky

"I'm planning to leave right now. It's very likely that I will be in danger, and I will never be able to return to Wrexham alive. After all, the battlefield is cruel. I will soon face Duke Offrey's iron cavalry. When the time comes, the battlefield will be stained with blood. Be a martyr of Wrexham, don’t forget to offer me the most beautiful wild flowers in early spring, and don’t forget to give Miss Alice a bouquet instead of me, and finally, bid farewell to Miss Alice on my behalf..."

What Arnold said was impassioned and touching, like a soldier about to die on the battlefield, full of sad feelings.

"You can pull it down~" Hobbs couldn't help it, and complained, "As cowardly as you are, when the charge horn sounds, you will definitely be the first deserter on the battlefield, and don't tease others in front of Merlin. My wife, it's too rude..."

"Ha..." Merlin laughed dryly, not minding too much, Alice is not his real wife, and will go her own way after paying off her debts.

Now Arnold is about to leave, but seeing Merlin and Hobbs, he couldn't help getting off his horse and coming over to chat.

In fact, it was mainly because he didn't see Alice before leaving Wrexham, and Arnold felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that Arnold put on handsome armor today, with Austin's family crest on his back?
