Chapter 2323 Choice

The recruitment of priests was still noticed by the two queens who were busy with everything.

Soon, a guard came to the door and invited me to come to the palace to speak on the order of the two queens.

After entering the gate, passing through the front hall, passing by the main hall, and coming to the back garden, the two queens were still sitting in the same place, drinking tea and admiring flowers.

In Moonlight City in January, flowers bloom and green willows fill the air.

Surrounded by the warm and fragrant atmosphere, both queens seemed to be in good spirits. However, the elf queen had a calm expression, a smile on her lips, and looked content with the status quo. However, under the elf queen's shallow expression, There was a hint of complicated worry in the smile.

I quickly stepped forward and saluted the two queens.

The Fairy Queen raised her hand slightly, pointed to the stone chair opposite, said "sit", then turned away from the maid and continued to enjoy the flowers and drink tea.

The Elf Queen's face moved slightly, her red lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something. She opened her mouth, but couldn't spit out a word. She was stunned for a moment, then closed her lips angrily, stood up slightly, picked up the teapot, and poured it for me. A cup of scented tea.

I hurriedly stood up and thanked her, but I saw her shaking her head slightly and looking at me with a complicated expression. She wanted to speak, but her red lips pursed and she still couldn't utter a single word. Finally, she sighed silently and sat back down.

"No matter how long I look at the flowers, green willows and pines in the back garden, I never get tired of it."

Putting down the tea cup, she picked up a half-yellow and half-green willow leaf that fell in the wind on the stone table. While playing with the willow leaf, the Fairy Queen said: "You know, why do we plant a willow tree in the back garden?" ?”

After pondering the Fairy Queen's intentions, she couldn't find anything, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet, shook her head, and said, "I don't know."

"Because its branches are always hanging low, within reach, and those who know how to surrender."

I was startled, but then I calmed down. I stared at the willow leaf held by the Fairy Queen's fingertips with drooped eyelids, and said in a deep voice: "Oh, that's it."

"People, don't be too stubborn, otherwise you will be like this leaf, which will fall before it grows old."

As he spoke, he threw the fallen leaves into the cup.

Looking at the half-yellow willow leaves floating on the golden tea juice, I was speechless for a long time.

"I heard that Akahavi lives at your place?"

The Fairy Queen's words not only brought me back from my distracted state, but also made the Fairy Queen's delicate hands tremble in shock. A few drops of tea juice slowly dripped down the slits of her fingers.

Taking a deep breath, I nodded heavily: "Yes."

"I heard that you are recruiting priests. It must be that Akahavi suffered some kind of incurable injury, right?"

Hearing this, I glanced at the Elf Queen. At this moment, she was looking at me with anxious and hopeful eyes. She not only hoped that I could tell the result immediately, but also longed for the result to be as she imagined.

Lowering my eyelids, I said slowly: "Yes, Akahavi was seriously injured."

Kara.

There was a soft sound, the sound of broken jade products.

Needless to say, the Elf Queen must have been overly nervous and crushed the tea cup.

"Yes." The Fairy Queen nodded, as if the matter had nothing to do with her, and continued to ask lightly: "How is he doing now?"

"Very good," I said, "The crisis has been turned around."

In my ears, I heard a sigh of relief, that was the voice of the Elf Queen.

"only"

"It's just what?" The Elf Queen finally couldn't hold it back and blurted out, but then she reacted and glanced at the Elf Queen awkwardly. Fortunately, the Queen's grandma didn't scold her or even look at her. At a glance, his eyelids were still drooped, and he looked quietly at the half-green willow leaf floating on the tea juice.

"It's just that there is a strange pure energy seeping into his body. Among the priests currently recruited, no one can solve this problem unless..."

"Unless Taylor does it himself, is that what you mean?" the Fairy Queen said calmly.

"Yes" I nodded and said, "Perhaps only the genius Grandpa Taylor can save his life."

The Elf Queen's eyes fell on the Fairy Queen's face, with deep expectations and pleading in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, the Fairy Queen raised her head, her eyes shining with determination: "Let's keep it like this for now."

The Elf Queen's eyes suddenly filled with pleading, and she said plaintively in a voice that was almost a whisper: "Grandma."

"Tyler can't come back," the Fairy Queen said: "At least in recent years, it's impossible to come back. He was tied up by that old dog with political connections. Unless the old dog dies, he can only let nature take its course."

A trace of fierceness flashed in the Elf Queen's eyes, but then it disappeared.

She was not a cruel woman and could not exchange the life of others for her brother's life.

In desperation, she had no choice but to ask me for help, but the Fairy Queen's next words directly cut off all her avenues for help: "Even if Taylor comes back, she can't save Akahavi!"

"Why!" The Elf Queen couldn't bear it any longer. She ignored etiquette and asked the Elf Queen rudely.

The Fairy Queen was not annoyed by the Elf Queen's rudeness. She pushed the tea cup to the middle of the table, raised her head, and looked at the Elf Queen quietly. After a few breaths, she said lightly: "Back then, I gave His choice was that he turned himself into a chess piece and threw it on the chessboard of Moonlight City. Now that he has returned from a serious injury, allowing him to recuperate and allowing him to live incognito is the greatest forgiveness I have given him."

At the end, she took a deep breath, reached out, took the Elf Queen into her arms, stroked her black hair, and said in a vicissitudes and kind tone: "I know you are sad, but you have to understand that today's In Moonlight City, the struggle between the conservative faction and the reform faction is increasing day by day. However, due to my high pressure, it has to cease. But once Akahawi's identity is revealed, can you imagine the anger of the reform faction? What kind of disaster will it bring to Moonlight City?"

The Elf Queen didn't answer. She was crying so hard that she could no longer make a sound except for choking.

"Understand, Anastas, this is the fate of the monarch." The Fairy Queen looked calm, as if she was telling the most ordinary thing: "By ascending the throne, we not only enjoy the glory and wealth, but also enjoy the admiration of all people. Bearing an unimaginable responsibility.”

"Grandma." The Elf Queen wiped away her tears and said aggrievedly, "It's too heavy. I'm so tired."

"You have to bear it even if you are tired!" The Fairy Queen helped the Elf Queen, and a fierce look flashed across her old face: "We are monarchs, and every decision is related to the survival of the country, let alone such an important responsibility. Even if the sky falls, we must try our best to withstand it!"

The Elf Queen bit her lips tightly and said nothing, but the pain and grievance in her eyes became more and more intense. In the end, she could no longer hold on and threw herself into the Elf Queen's arms again, crying bitterly.

The Fairy Queen just looked at the willow leaves in the cup quietly, caressed the girl's hair, and sighed silently.
