Chapter 1172 Existing in Name Only
After the banquet, a group of us returned home. The Goblin Queen and her people temporarily stayed in the palace, and the Goblin Assistance Team was arranged in a treehouse not far from my home.
Lying on the sofa, looking at Remi and Bai Yunying sleeping soundly in my arms, I couldn't help but pinch their little faces.
After the small movement, I took a breath and fell into deep thought.
Putting aside the matter of Akahavi for the time being, the relationship between the goblins and me can also be temporarily overturned, because none of these can compare with the shock and influence that the appearance of the giant puppets and the goblin assistance team can bring. .
This team, which had been determined to be sent back to Fort Vicky, suddenly appeared from the Elf Forest, driving a group of puppets with explosive power. This invisible collision force directly destroyed the Elf Queen's previous actions towards me. Trust completely destroyed.
Before leaving the banquet, the Elf Queen sat next to me and glared at me for a long time, which made me feel uncomfortable. At the end, she left a message: "About the goblin assistance team, tomorrow Come to my room, I want to hear your explanation."
It happened that Princess Analita and Princess Analetta were hiding nearby at that time, peeking at their sister's expression. After the Queen left, the two princesses floated to my side like ghosts, one on the left and the other on the right, glaring at them. With a pair of frightened eyes, he said to me: "Xiaoyi, what on earth did you do to my sister? I have never seen my sister glare at someone with such a resentful look. That look, that look is like a resentful woman."
Resentful woman.
Thinking of these words, my eyelids jumped a few times. It seemed that I had really offended the Elf Queen this time.
In the early morning of the next day, I got up from the sofa early and walked around in the yard. Emily, who was practicing sword practice on the side, put away her sword after completing the last movement and asked doubtfully: "Are you very uneasy?"
"Yes," I said, "The Elf Queen asked me to go to her room to meet her today."
Emily thought for a moment and said, "Any questions?"
"There's something wrong," I said with a sad face, "When she said this to me yesterday, her eyes were so scary that she almost made me pee."
"Scared to the point of peeing?" Emily paused and said, "Exaggeration."
"Uh" I was a little speechless: "Okay, I did exaggerate a bit, but the Queen's eyes are indeed scary."
"Then what did you do?" Emily asked lightly.
"I didn't do anything special. I guess it was probably something related to the goblin assistance team."
"Oh" Emily nodded: "Your Majesty is very attentive to the goblin assistance team. You lied about the truth, is that right?"
"That's it." I sighed, sat cross-legged on the grass, and said with my arms in my arms, "So, I'm worried about what to do when I meet the Queen for a while."
"Just apologize," Emily wrote lightly, "Your Majesty, she is very tolerant."
"Tolerance is also treated differently." I curled my lips and said, "It can be tolerated and forgiven if it does not touch her bottom line, but the matter of the goblin assisting the team may have touched her authority, and even reached the point where it can be tolerated." To the extent of shaking the political power, it’s strange that she could let me go so lightly.”
"Then go and bear the consequences." Emily said calmly: "You won't die anyway, at most you will get scolded."
"Hey, do you talk to your fiancé like this?" I said unhappily.
"Yes," Emily said lightly, "I am."
He entered the palace with an uneasy mood, and was led by the maid to the room of the Elf Queen.
After knocking on the door a few times, the Elf Queen's voice came from the room: "Please come in."
Pushing open the door, I lowered my head and got in. I moved very quickly, like a little thief. After entering the room, I lowered my head and said nothing, as if I had done something wrong.
After a moment of silence, the Elf Queen said: "Elder An Xiaoyi, raise your head."
I was still fighting and said, "I don't dare to raise my head."
"Why don't you dare?" asked the Elf Queen.
"I was wrong," I said, "I shouldn't have concealed the goblin assistance team, let alone lied to you."
"Yes." The Elf Queen responded and said: "I don't blame you for concealing and lying about things. At that time, you were just a citizen, not an elder, and it was normal for you to have two minds with me."
"Huh?" When I heard this, I found it interesting that the Queen took the blame without even realizing it. From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with me.
He raised his head and looked directly at the Elf Queen. As soon as he had a relaxed smile on his face, he heard the Queen say: "But why didn't you confess these things to me after you took up the position of elder?"
Damn, here comes a counterattack!
I couldn't help cursing secretly, my face changed again, from relaxed at the beginning to sad. I said in a deep voice: "It's unfair, Your Majesty the Queen. After taking up the position of elder of the foreign race, I thought about how to communicate with Fort Vicky and Moonlight City every day. It doesn’t matter, how can I have time to think about other things!”
The Elf Queen glared at me and said, "Excuse."
"It's not an excuse." I continued to cry out: "It's true. I even went to the extent of forgetting to sleep and eat. Well, my daily three bowls of rice dropped to two and a half bowls, and my sleeping time was shortened by ten minutes. You think I'm so Our efforts are all for the long-term peace and stability of Moonlight City."
The elf queen's stern face finally couldn't hold back any longer, she chuckled, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly relaxed.
She sighed and said, "You have always been glib and have never looked like an elder."
"The elders don't look good." I shook my head and said, "My Queen, think about it. The elders around me have sullen expressions every day, as if someone owes them a lot of money. How can they make you laugh like me?" of."
"Political affairs require a serious attitude." The Elf Queen said calmly: "If everyone is as cheerful and glib as you are, will the Elf Royal Family still have dignity?"
"Uh yes."
"Okay, I won't tell you this anymore. No matter how much I say it, it's useless if you don't implement it." The Elf Queen said, "Let's talk about serious things."
She stood up slowly, walked to me, looked into my eyes, and said: "An Xiaoyi, I know that the members of the goblin assistance team only obey your orders, so I hope you can give the order and let them do it for me. Play for Moonlight City.”
"I will not force others to do anything, Your Majesty the Queen." I said calmly: "The reason why the goblin assistance team obeyed my orders is precisely because I can give them enough respect and freedom. If I deprive them of their freedom by force, , they may listen to my orders for a while, but I dare to say that it won’t be long before my reputation among the dwarves and goblins will be completely ruined, and correspondingly, my identity as the elder of Wychburg will also exist in name only.”
