Rhode looked grateful, but felt neither sorrow nor joy.

He didn't need a small piece of land to be an ordinary knight.

His goal was two baronies.

“I have two things to discuss this time. I heard that Earl Auston is seriously ill and needs a giant's heart to cure him. I killed a giant on the way here, and I happen to have a giant's heart in my possession.”

“As for the second matter, since Miss Brittany is still alive, the territory and title originally belonging to Baron Oswide should be inherited by her. I came this time to have the Queen prove Miss Brittany's identity and inherit the title of Baron Oswide.”

As soon as Rhode finished speaking, he noticed that the Queen's expression suddenly changed.

There wasn't a trace of happiness; instead, she looked somewhat displeased.

Although this expression was fleeting, it didn't escape his notice.

Rhode narrowed his eyes slightly, finding it strange.

His niece being alive and able to inherit her brother's title, and her dying husband having a chance to be saved.

Such a double blessing should logically make her happy.

Yet, the Queen's expression looked as if her child had died.

Interesting.

Rhode watched the Queen silently, only to find her face already beaming with joy.

As if she had heard incredibly good news.

However, that smile looked fake and insincere.

“This good news should be shared with the kingdom's ministers. With this giant's heart, His Majesty's illness can be cured.”

The Queen said with a smile, summoning a maid to arrange accommodations for Rhode and Little Red Riding Hood.

She then left in a hurry.

“Interesting.”

Rhode stroked his chin, watching the Queen leave in haste, even with a hint of panic.

The look in his eyes was unreadable.

Chapter 80: The aristocratic circle is really messed up!

“This is the royal palace, do not wander around without a pass.”

“Otherwise, you might be mistaken for an assassin by the palace guards and arrested.”

The maid who led Rhode to the room, looking at his handsome face, couldn't help but remind him.

“If you need anything in the evening... you can call me.”

The maid touched Rhode's hand flirtatiously, her intentions couldn't be clearer.

Rhode watched the slightly plump, but ordinary-looking maid leave.

He gained a deeper understanding of the openness and chaos of high society.

Even a maid dared to be so bold and open, let alone the real nobles.

If they caught each other's eye, they might resolve the issue anytime, anywhere.

He looked out the window at the neatly trimmed garden.

He couldn't wander around the palace, so was he being held under a different kind of house arrest?

“This Queen is very problematic.”

Rhode muttered softly, hoping he wasn't mistaken.

However, he couldn't just sit here and wait foolishly.

“First, I need to gather some information.”

Rhode looked out the window, a small sparrow was hopping on the windowsill.

He casually grabbed it, pouring magic power into the sparrow's body.

Instantly, powerful magic controlled the sparrow's body.

Whoosh!

Rhode released the sparrow, which spread its wings and flew out the window, while his eyes silently turned pitch black.

Black magic!

Sensory Sharing!

Sparrows were common birds in the castle, so no one would pay attention even if they saw one.

Rhode easily found the Queen's location through the sparrow's perspective.

Inside a certain room, the amiable and beautiful Queen was currently in a fit of rage.

“Didn't you say that no one would ever find the giant's heart? Do you know that a knight just told me he found a giant's heart!”

Having taken off her court dress and changed into casual clothes, the Queen roared in a low voice.

A seemingly plump minister was standing in front of the Queen, his face somewhat displeased.

“Sky City is just a legend, no one has ever confirmed the authenticity of the giant's castle, how could anyone find a giant.”

“Let alone kill a giant and obtain a giant's heart.”

The minister questioned, giants were legendary creatures, fierce and immensely strong.

Not to mention whether they could be found, even if they were, it was impossible for a knight to defeat a giant with his strength.

After all, these were creatures that even a hundred fully armed elite knights with large engineering equipment couldn't defeat in legends.

“I don't care if the legend is true or false, I only know that someone told me he found a giant and killed it.”

“Now the giant's heart is on him. If he takes out the giant's heart and cures the King's illness, the throne will definitely fall into the hands of the First Prince.”

The Queen's face was full of frustration.

Although she was currently Earl Auston's wife, the Queen of this country.

Auston's descendants were not limited to one, his first two wives had left behind children before their deaths.

And they were highly valued by Earl Auston.

The First Prince was incredibly powerful, and as the eldest son, he was naturally suited to inherit the throne.

Therefore, he was the greatest threat.

The Second Prince was gentle, brave, and resourceful, and his handsome appearance made him popular with the people and ministers.

Her son was the youngest, and was neither good at literature nor martial arts.

It could be said that among the three princes, whether in character or otherwise, he was the worst.

If the King really wanted to choose someone to inherit the throne, then the First Prince had the highest chance, and at worst, he would choose the Second Prince.

He would definitely not choose the Third Prince as his heir.

Once the other two princes inherited the throne, her position as stepmother would be quite awkward.

Not only would her position be awkward, but even her son would not receive much inheritance.

In order to ensure the continuation of bloodline and power, the succession to the throne usually only selected one heir to receive the Earl's title and castle.

It was impossible for the three sons to divide the territory and title equally.

Therefore, after the First Prince inherited the title, the Second and Third Princes would at most be given a small piece of land to be knights.

They wouldn't even be able to become barons.

How could the ambitious Queen endure going from the high and mighty Queen to the mother of a knight.

Now, the only way to prevent the First Prince from inheriting the throne was to ensure that the King never woke up.

When the time came, she could collude with the ministers to create a fake will and smoothly allow the Third Prince to inherit the throne.

She would still be the high and mighty Queen.

And her son would become the noblest King of this country.

Originally, everything was developing according to her script.

But now, a suddenly appearing knight had broken all her plans.

“Queen, since only you know about this matter, why not send someone to kill this knight?”

The minister pondered for a moment after hearing this and suggested.

“Kill him?”

The Queen's mind flashed with that handsome and strong figure, and her body couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Her standards were very high. When she was still a baron's sister, she looked down on the surrounding barons and nobles.

Later, with her perfect appearance and figure, she accidentally met the current King Auston.

And successfully won his favor, becoming the Queen of the Auston Kingdom.

But since she married Auston III, she had discovered that this old thing had long been hollowed out by wine and women.

He was getting weaker day by day.

In the upper class of aristocratic society, the lives of nobles were extravagant and licentious.

As long as nobles caught each other's eye, they could have a passionate encounter in a quiet place at any time.

As the Queen, with her perfect figure and appearance, she naturally received the infatuation of many nobles.

However, her standards were too high, and no noble had ever been able to enter her heart.

She looked down on those middle-aged nobles, and those young and inexperienced nobles had no appeal to a woman as experienced as her.

What could truly conquer her heart were those brave, strong, and fearless knights.

However, the knights she came into contact with all said nice things, but in reality, they had never even seen blood.

The Auston Kingdom had not experienced war for too long, and the greatest hardship the new generation of knights had suffered was when they pried open the legs of those noble ladies.

How could such people be worthy of her perfect body.

Or enjoy the same treatment as the King.

And those knights with strength were too old and did not fit her image of a handsome and brave knight.

But now, this figure that only appeared in her dreams had truly appeared before her.

From the first moment she saw Rhode, she could feel the desire coming from her body and brain, and she couldn't wait to embrace this strong man.

She just restrained herself.

She was the Queen, and she couldn't let a knight easily obtain her body and gallop at will.

It should be her who had the upper hand.

Let her kill this knight?

She seemed a little unable to do it.

Just thinking about it made her feel a sigh from the bottom of her heart.

Killing him would be too much of a waste.

This brave and handsome knight should be in the palace fighting for her, the Queen.

“Since this knight can kill giants, no matter what means he used, his strength must not be weak.”

“If the plan fails, how should we clean up the mess?”

The Queen shook her head, indicating that it was inappropriate.

The minister thought about it and felt it made sense.

“In any case, whether this giant's heart is real or not, we cannot let it appear before the King.”
