Act 240 Mortal Veil III

Tat-tat-tat, regular footsteps came from the empty corridor. When the waiter saw the figure emerging from the darkness, he bent down respectfully.

"Lord Dragon Queen, you are back. Her Majesty the Queen wants to see you."

"oh?"

"Your Majesty is very concerned about the situation outside."

"It's bad out there."

Gwendolen stopped and stood in the middle of the corridor. The lights of the party came through the carved windows and fell on half of her face, making her like a silhouette, half in light and shadow.

She smiled and replied: "But it's still under control."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question. He didn't dare to raise his head, and he was terrified. He didn't know why this adult would talk to him so much.

In the palace, knowing too much is not a good thing.

But Gwendolyn had no intention of causing trouble for such a small person. She looked out the window, the rose garden was brightly lit, people were intertwined, and the nobles were intoxicated, immersed in the dream of power and material desire.

But there were dark clouds in the sky, and the low and heavy clouds seemed to be accurate, but he was completely unaware of it. He remembered that according to the latter, shouldn't it take hundreds or even thousands of years for her to regain her strength?

Isn't this the case with Esis in the game?

"Is this caused by Miss Kouhua?" Charles also approached him and asked in a low voice. The young wizard attendant stared at the black fog in the sky and the lunar eclipse on the horizon. He also looked solemn.

Brando shook his head. "Maybe, but I can't control that much now."

He waved Alka over: "Alka, can you see Victory Square from here?"

"It's in front." Alka could still keep his mind clear at this time, which showed the young man's boldness and calmness. He pointed to the front and replied: "Did you see it, sir?"

"Very good," Brando nodded: "Take us there."

…

"Your Majesty, the Dragon Queen is back."

The waiter hurried out from the side door.

Whispered in the ear of the Silver Queen. Her Majesty the Queen turned around and replied somewhat calmly:

"Oh? Won't she come over to see me?" She remained calm on the surface. But the slight frown revealed his thoughts.

"Lord Dragon Queen said she should not appear in public."

The Silver Queen turned back and looked at the banquet that was being held. She nodded, her brows widened, and she agreed with this. "Then what's going on outside? Did she say anything?"

The waiter hesitated. After careful consideration, he said: "The situation outside is not good, Your Majesty, but Lord Dragon Queen also said that everything is still under control."

"What else did she say?" She pondered for a moment and asked with concern.

"She said." The waiter thought for a moment, probably thinking about the meaning of this sentence: "Everything went according to plan."

After hearing this, Her Majesty the Queen was silent for a moment and then waved her hand.

"You go down."

The waiter bowed quickly and left.

The Silver Queen turned back and glanced over the banquet one by one. The atmosphere of this banquet is no longer as harmonious as it was at the beginning. The vision in the sky can be seen by everyone. The nobles are talking to each other. They were also whispering, and more people turned their attention to the scene of the lunar eclipse, instead of her newly consecrated countess being the center of the banquet as before.

But she didn't take it seriously. Her eyes even seemed a little hollow when they passed over everyone's heads. She looked at everything in front of her tiredly, her indifferent eyes full of disdain for the world.

With all the hosts showing a lack of interest, only the young people may still have the energy to compete with each other for the limelight.

Among the crowd, Akane looked pale and gritted her teeth as she looked at the tall man in front of her.

The opponent simply didn't look like a human being, perhaps more like some kind of beast. He was much taller than the average person. Even the tallest among the Cruze nobles would be a head or more shorter than the opponent.

The other person also looked down at her, his eyes unabashedly possessive, and his aggressive gaze made Akane very unbearable.

If there wasn't someone standing in front of her.

Prince Ogeos looked at the young man standing in front of him with great dissatisfaction. Of course he knew that the young man was a Cruz noble, and he was probably not of low origin, but when he saw Qian for the first time, he knew that this A woman must be his fiancée, the best mare God has given him.

No one can stop him——

As for the previous disdain, it has long since disappeared, and his perception of the empire has improved a lot, except of course the unpleasant guy in front of him.

"Do you know how I dealt with those guys without eyes in Wallach?" Ogeos showed his white teeth, smiling like a wolf: "I will cut off his head and give him The scalp was peeled off and made into my war robe. I once had seventeen enemies, and now my war robe is half completed."

Henriette, who was standing in front of Qian, chuckled twice, pretending not to hear the threat, and said disdainfully: "I don't care how many ways the barbarians have to show their ignorance, every Cruz of us here Our ancestors have all experienced the era of eating raw hair and drinking blood on the Great Plains. Will we regard this as an honor?"

He chuckled: "But it seems that Prince Ogeos does know how to do it."

Ogeos's face turned cold. This humanoid beast understood in his heart that even if there were ten of them, he might not be the opponent of these imperial nobles. However, he had his own methods. He subconsciously pressed his hand on There is a hunting knife on his waist. As a mountain noble, he can bring a knife into the rose garden, which is also authorized by Her Majesty the Queen.

But many people immediately noticed his actions, and the knights from the royal family in the distance immediately drew their swords and rushed over.

Conrad was also startled and hurried to pull his companion, but Henriette remained unmoved and looked at the opponent's actions with contempt: "If you have the ability, use the knife here, barbarian."

"You insulted me." Ogeos almost squeezed out these words through his teeth.

"You insult yourself." The young man replied tit for tat: "To touch a noble woman, this is the accomplishment of His Highness the Prince."

"She's my fiancée!"

"Not until His Majesty agrees," Henriette added.

Ogeos finally couldn't bear it anymore, let out a low roar, and was about to pounce on Henriette.

But at this moment, the crowd let out a low cry and retreated to both sides. They saw a figure suddenly cross the courtyard, separate the crowd and come to Her Majesty the Queen.

It was a knight, wearing the armor of a royal knight. He was half kneeling on the ground and shouted loudly to Her Majesty the Queen on the steps: "Your Majesty, the defense line in the square has been broken open——"

The defense line was breached? Who rushed away?

The crowd was suddenly startled, and some people began to whisper subconsciously. The commotion over there immediately affected the young people here, and the movements of Prince Ogeos and Henriette also slowed down.

But I heard Her Majesty the Queen reply:

"Who is coming?"

She actually already had the answer in her mind.

"Yes..." The knight hesitated: "He is the grandson of Lord Darusca Diloso."

Who is Lord Darusca Diloso? Who is his grandson? The nobles were stunned for a while. As the upper-class noble circle of the empire, they often knew the names of famous families or people well. Furthermore, they could even recognize the differences between the coats of arms representing different nobles and families at a glance. .

This is originally one of the instincts of nobles, and it is also an important means and capital of communication between them.

But at this moment, the nobles of the empire seemed a little at a loss about this name. This name seemed familiar, but they couldn't remember it for a while. What made them secretly scream was that it was obvious that Her Majesty the Queen recognized this person.

The situation is a bit slight~

While the nobles were thinking hard, the Silver Queen smiled slightly, as if she was confident. She turned her head. Everyone seemed to think that the supreme emperor was looking at them, but only Akane in the crowd understood that she was looking at her. ——

At that moment, she felt like she was falling into an ice cave. Of course she understood what it meant. At that moment, the girl calmed down. She clenched her fists slightly, as if she had made up her mind.

"Ovina, I need your help..."

In her imaginary hand, the phantom of a cyan spear flashing with silver lightning was slowly becoming reality.

its name,

It's called the sky.
