Chapter 213 The truth

"Rotyya...why..."

"Do you want to ask me why I helped you like this?" Rotia interrupted the other party. At this moment, there was no queen or subject, but a teacher and her students. "It's very simple. I hate that old woman... I'm hypocritical and pretending to be disgusting! The two nieces of that old woman are the same. They are all in their thirties and are still dressed up like little girls! They are simply a bunch of old monsters!"

She cursed fiercely.

"Don't cry, as long as you don't admit defeat, you haven't lost yet!" Rotia said loudly. The little girl also wiped her tears immediately. "I will do my best to help you, but you must promise me a condition. Remember... In any case, that man is not worthy of being the king!"

Marrying a queen does not necessarily mean being able to ascend to the throne legally - it can only be said that you have obtained the key to the royal power, and the road you should take must be followed step by step. For example, first, the queen as a wife must express support for this, secondly, the two must have children to ensure that the next generation of thrones will not belong to outsiders, and again, they must obtain the support of at least some of the subjects - even if it is not support, at least they do not object. They must also establish a certain prestige and make certain achievements, and at least they cannot leave the subjects with the impression that "this guy is not suitable to be a king" and so on.

A short time later, Rotia came to a building in the noble area. The owner of the house was held hostage by Byron in the previous incident, or simply surrendered to Byron. In short, he fled the Hawk City at an inappropriate time, so the house was declared confiscated as reverse birth. Of course, due to financial constraints, the court officials would not waste such resources, so the house was rented out and rented to Rotia - of course not in her own name.

For the foreseeable future, the house will remain in use by Rotia.

After leaving the temporary palace, Ashrufat came here. After all, he had to spend the night in the city and wait for the summons tomorrow at any time, so he had to find a suitable place to hide. Of course, this hiding place was arranged by Rotia.

There were several people waiting for her in the room. Except for Ashu Rufate, the others were her subordinates, both men and women. Of course, they were all Rotia's confidants, the kind of trustworthy people.

"Sister Rotia." After watching Rotia come in, everyone except Asu Ruffat stood up to pay tribute.

"Aliksha, how is the situation?" Rotia asked.

"No problem, I'm sure no one is following him... no one will find him here."

Rhodeya nodded. "You are here, don't leave, there are dry food and snacks inside. Alexa, you are responsible for this matter, don't let anyone leave this door until someone comes with a secret code tomorrow. This matter will be left to you!"

"No problem, sister!"

"Okay, you guys go and have a rest first. I have something to talk to Count Ashu Rufat."

Several subordinates left one after another, leaving the living room to Rotia and Ashurufat.

"That... Alexa..." Ashu Rufate looked at the backs of others with some confusion. "I remember her...and that man..."

"Yes, it was the last time we went to the Nighthawks' Nest." Rotia admitted. "Of course, they are married now. The lovers finally get married."

"I remember that time... they were tortured... injured..."

"Yes, I was tortured and not only were my body scarred, but my limbs were even disabled." Rotia replied. "To be specific, the man's toes were disabled and he could not run anymore. In addition, he was blinded with one eye - in fact, it was not considered blind, but it was almost the same - and there was also a disability on his arms. The woman was even worse. Not to mention that she was broken, but she also had hidden internal organs because of the beating. In addition, several fingers on the right hand were disabled - but they were not broken, but it was not working."

"But they are now..." Ashu Rufat was full of doubts. He had been together for a while just now, but how could he see that both of them were very complete, with very fluent movements, and in every move, where were there any signs of disability?

"I cured them." Rotia lit a cigarette at some point and took a sip. "The cost is quite large. One person has 500,000 gold Oli, two people have one million! So, don't think I'm the queen of the underground world, I'm still very short of money. If I could lend me some money, I would be happy."

Ash Rufate was shocked. It was not this price, but this matter. Can human limb disability be recovered? I heard that Green Skin has this ability. As long as there is enough time for disabled Green Skin to grow the limbs well. However, humans do not have this ability, and disabled people will leave lifelong damage.

“How did it do it?”

"It's very simple. Money can make the devil push the mill." Rotia replied in a very cold tone. "It's just that the price is really amazing."

"You mean... can someone cure a disability?"

"I say that money can make the ghosts push. It's not that someone can cure it, but that there are ghosts. The vampire in Sivania now controls Sivania, the one who calls himself the Duke of Blood. Although he is a monster drinking human blood, he has all kinds of incredible abilities, such as this healing ability. He can cure any disease and any harm... Of course, it's not free. For such a relatively light disability, the vampire will charge a person's 500,000 gold Oli. It's not that simple," Rotia took a puff of cigarettes again. Although she was talking to Ashu Rufat, her eyes didn't look at each other. "He can even rejuvenate. That's right, it's just to let a sixty-three-year-old old lady restore her youth at the age of twenty-three. It's the real recovery... Of course, that price is much greater, and I think I'm afraid I'm not qualified to enjoy it anyway."

“Rejuvenation…”

"Well, this is not a rumor. Alexa saw it with her own eyes in Sivania. But she didn't dare to ask about the price... It must be an outrageous astronomical number anyway. Look, that vampire is probably the richest guy in the world! The Blood Duke... Just call it the Golden Duke. It's all about legend that Sivania is as rich as mud and sand, and it's not expensive."

"Duke of Blood..." Ashu Rufate repeated the title, and the word made him feel familiar. Of course, there was nothing to be surprised about.

"Okay, don't say this nonsense." Rotia looked at Ashurufate with anger and contempt. "I just got the latest news that our General Beral has spent the night in a small town not far from the Eagle City. Tomorrow, at the latest afternoon, you will meet Her Queen's Queen informally. So before that, you'd better wait here... The specific coalition details will be discussed in detail the day after tomorrow."

Ashrufa nodded, he had long guessed the arrangements in this regard.

"And the time when you show up... It is best if General Beral enters the city, and then you can go to see our Queen with a swagger. Of course, I will notify you, at least I will send someone to notify you."

She paused for a moment and stened the cigarette butt in her hand. "There is another thing to tell you, have you gone to see your aunt first after entering the city tonight?"

"Aunt Mary."

"Yes, Countess Marianne. Did you see her first and then come to the palace?"

"Yes."

"Hmph, it turns out... I tell you, your aunt is very good at lying. Although I don't know what she said to you, I can be sure that it's all lies and disguises."

Asu Ruffatt did not answer, how could Rotia show such hostility to Aunt Mary? These two people... seem to have a very big difference in age and life experience, and they are not people in the same circle at all.

"I'm sure you've fallen into your aunt's calculations," said Rotia. "Although you're a smart and excellent man, you can't escape her skills."

"Why are you so sure?"

"I bet, you went to see them just now and something must have happened. You saw something unusual! And the old woman also gave you a reasonable explanation on the surface. Is my guess right?"

Ashu Rufat remembered Aunt Mary's shameless paintings. Should this be counted?

"Also, I discovered one thing. Do you remember mentioning those things... are about you and your two fiancées making an engagement in childhood?"

Of course, Ashu Rufate knew very well. The twin parents met Ashu Rufate's father Thomas on one road to the south. Either Thomas helped them or helped each other. In short, both sides hit it off and ended up being children's relatives. Although it sounded like a story in the book, at least not very outrageous. This kind of thing is not particularly rare among nobles. Especially when both sides are in a good match.

"What, is there any problem?" Ashu Rufat asked. "My hometown... should be in the south-central part of Ryan..."

"Don't mention there. We all know that there was a large-scale civil war in Ryan," said Rotia. "The war was affected and almost everything was a mess. No one could tell if there was an ordinary knight named Thomas, and he didn't know if he had a son named Ashu Rufate. Especially this son left home to be a mercenary... and that was even more unproof."

Ashu Rufate frowned. He didn't want to doubt Aunt Mary in this matter. Besides, what's the benefit of Aunt Mary lying to him? In order to regard himself as his niece, marry a mercenary of unknown origin?

"There is no evidence for this matter, but there is one thing that has evidence. Your two fiancées, because of their talent for magic, were chosen by the church in their early years and took them to a magic academy to study." Rotia said. "It is also thanks to their frequent appearances in the Hawk City recently that I found out about this news."

"What does this mean?"

"They were taken away by the church as a teenager... before that, they had never left Groney!"
