The 210th Night Guest

Now she is the only one left in the room. Although the little girl is full of irritability, she has no channel to vent. She wants to hit things, but she uses her reason to control this desire. So the last thing she can do is walk around in the middle of the room.

It was already dark, but she had no sleepiness at all. In the end, she sat in the window and looked at the stars in the sky like all girls of this age would do.

She no longer remembers the fact that she ascended the throne and became king. At that time, she was too young and could not remember the things. All this country needed was a political banner, and no one really cared about the idea of ​​a little girl of five or six years old. She was inexplicably taken to a hall and held a simple ceremony surrounded by many people. There were not many such things in the historical records of mankind, but there were also many. If you want to say what the difference between her and a king of the same type, it probably cares that she is brave and able to speak more calmly as the master told him in advance.

Of course, these were not things deep in her memory, but what others later told her. She only had a very chaotic impression, because she was vague and hazy at that time, and even couldn't really understand the news that her father and brother died in battle.

The little girl sighed and took her thoughts back to reality from those vague memories. Girls of her age are not good at recalling the past.

Go out for a walk. This thought suddenly came to her heart, and she did it. What should she worry about now? She is the queen, the kind that really holds power. And this is her palace, even if it is temporary, under her complete control.

As mentioned earlier, this mansion as a temporary palace has not undergone much change, at least it still maintains its original appearance in its overall layout. Not far from the little girl's residence, there is a garden that once reproduced the most exquisite flowers and shrubs. However, Ashrufate is not a person who can appreciate gardening, so he ignored the way to deal with this garden. After so long, there are not many artificial cultivations that are not strong enough. Now, the garden is growing one head taller than the little girl.

There was a strange tranquility in the garden at night. When the little girl walked to the edge of the garden, she suddenly felt a strange sound. If she were normal, she would definitely ignore it, but the surroundings were too quiet at this moment.

"Laria...is it you?"

"Yes," the voice came from somewhere. The little girl could only look in the general direction - it was a shadow of a wall under the moonlight, but she couldn't tell Lalia. It was not surprising that she was because Lalia, also known as "Blood Rose", had an armor that could change colors. It was a gift from a vampire, a strange thing made in a way that humans did not understand. The little girl had carefully observed this armor from close range.

"Is there anything?" asked the little girl. Suddenly, she found herself a little scared. Perhaps it wasn't really in power for too long, and the feeling of being in power and being bowing to the head no longer exists. She found that she was still just a thirteen-year-old girl, standing alone in a weed-covered place in the dark night.

"Someone has climbed over the wall in the front." Lalia whispered.

"Cross the wall?"

The defense measures of the temporary palace are not strict, which is far inferior to the real palace. However, if you want to not disturb the patrol team outside and quietly climb over the wall from outside, the difficulty of this matter is not ordinary. First, you must be familiar with the various secret sentries and the movement changes between patrol teams, and then you must have some understanding of the layout, roads and other conditions in the mansion. Finally, you must have very excellent skills.

For so long since the little girl lived here, such "thieves" and "assassins" have never happened.

"Is it... an assassin?" The little girl tried her best to keep herself calm. It doesn't matter, Lalia is by her side. She once saw Lalia easily kill dozens of enemies alone, and she already knew that Lalia had speed, strength and combat skills far beyond her appearance.

"Probably not." Lalia replied. "Do you need me to arrest him? Or just kill him?"

This was the first time that the little girl had encountered such a thing in such a long time, or that night of the coup, so she didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Can you catch someone alive?" But a few seconds later, the little girl calmed down. She is now the queen, the one who made the decision.

"No guarantee. I'm not good at this, and it's more difficult to catch a living person than killing him." Lalia answered very directly.

"Anyway, do your best." The little girl replied.

"I'm going." Something seemed to be moving in the darkness, and it seemed that just a breeze blew by. The little girl stood there and thought about it seriously. The one who sneaked in should be a cultist. However, the little girl herself only had the concept of the evil god believer on paper, lacking an intuitive understanding, and only knew the pile of hats that the church put on the evil god believer on the heads of the evil god believer, such as evil, despicable, cruel, vicious, etc.

No sound came out of the distance. Although the little girl tried her best to hear something, in fact, only the sound of the wind was heard. Everything seemed to be very calm, even if the smallest abnormal noise did not happen.

"Your Majesty." When the voice sounded, the little girl was indeed startled. Although she immediately tried hard to pretend to be calm, she could not be sure whether Lariya had seen her horror in the moment.

"What's wrong...that invader..."

"Well, I'm afraid that one is not the invader. Ah, I mean... the person who came was Earl of Ashu Rufat."

"Is it him?" Surprise faded instantly, replaced by ecstasy. However, ecstasy was immediately replaced by another kind of fear.

"Well, I've brought him here," said Lalia, "Then, I'll take it back first."

A few seconds later, the little girl finally came to her senses. She was actually not mentally prepared, but Lalia had no reaction to her screams.

A figure appeared from the other side of the garden, separated the weeds that were tall by one person, and walked to the little girl.

The figure was not moving forward quickly, but before the little girl came to her senses, the other party was already standing opposite him. The figure stopped after about five steps apart.

Under the moonlight, the little girl clearly saw the scar on the bridge of her nose. This scar was the most eye-catching feature of Ash Rufat's face. Under the moonlight, this scar became even more conspicuous.

"You..." the little girl wanted to speak, but after she spoke out the first syllable, she suddenly found that everything she wanted to say had disappeared. Although her mind was not blank, it was filled with strange data such as "We have not met for thirty days and one day".

...

"Auntie." Xingke walked into her aunt's room. As she expected, although it was quite late, Aunt Mary seemed to be sleepy at all. She was wearing sleepyness, leaning on the bed in a leaning position, looking at the ceiling. She had no change in her posture after Xingke entered the door.

"What's wrong?" asked Aunt Mary.

"That's it...you...why don't you mention the things we care about the most?"

Her words were a bit terrible, but Aunt Mary could understand her niece's meaning very well.

"Are you talking about the little queen?" the old woman replied with a smile. "Of course, although I am old, I am not as old as that."

"So... why don't you take this opportunity to verify it?" Xing Ke said. "Is that matter real... is the little queen hugging him..."

"It doesn't matter whether it is true or false." Aunt Mary interrupted the other party. "The key to this matter is not the little queen, but the Ashu Rufate. You should know that what matters is not feelings, but marriage."

"ah……"

"Things like feelings cannot be controlled. Not only can they be controlled, but they cannot even be verified. Sometimes, you don't know what the feelings in your heart are. So, the correct way is to put aside the uncontrollable things and do things that can be controlled. For example, in this matter... the key to your marriage is not the little queen, but the Ashu Rufate. It is whether he will refuse to fulfill the engagement. Whether he fell in love with the little queen or whether the little queen fell in love with him is not important at all. These two things are related on the surface, but in fact they are completely independent. Focus on the real marriage, rather than on the illusory feelings. Alas," the old woman sighed. "You two of you have turned yourself into a fool's otakus in studying magic. These women don't understand things that are born to understand."

"but……"

"For example, if you asked this question just now, what results can you get? If Ashu Rufate's heart is attracted by the little queen or tempted by the throne, and asking him questions directly in a straightforward way will make him make his final decision. At that time, there will be no room for recovery. On the contrary, if you don't tear your face for the time being, there may be a little possibility... I know that your heart is confused, shaken, and eager to want this answer. But what can you do if you get the answer? This is not a research, and getting the answer is the ultimate goal. What we are going to have is a more complex and skillful contest."

Xingke sensed the subtle changes in his aunt's tone.

"Then, Ashu Rufat..."

"The chance is great," said Aunt Mary. "I guess there will be a result today."

"Why is today?"

"Today... there are several possibilities. However," Aunt Mary asked strangely. "Think about it, come to see you at this sensitive time... do you think it's normal? You also heard what he said just now... General Berel came to Eagle Falcon City, which should have happened in the past few days... In other words, he can return to the city openly in a few days, and then come back to see you legitimately when he is appointed and left. Unless he is in that kind of fanatical relationship... do you think he looks like this type? So, this time, there must be a problem with you...."

The answer seemed to be coming out. No matter how stupid Xingke was, he realized what his aunt really meant.
