Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Rogier entered the palace and bowed.

The queen looked at Rogier, motioned him to excuse himself, and asked, "What was the result of this journey? Where is the envoy?"

"Queen, the ambassador sent by the expeditionary force is Viscount Qixing Weilin Aix. According to the information I have obtained, the other party is the grandson of a legendary strongman, who is one of the four decision-makers of the expeditionary force." Rogier described Weilin's origins in concise language.

"Where is he now?"

Rogier answered, "Queen, he is in heaven."

Queen Teton looked puzzled and asked in confusion, "Heaven?"

"Yes, Queen."

Rogier described his way of returning home in brief language.

After listening to the other party's story, Queen Teton fell silent.

"Queen, what attitude should we take towards this ambassador?" King Merezakli of Teton came to his wife and asked softly.

Queen Teton did not answer the other party, but continued to ask Roger: "When will the Viscount Qixing return tomorrow?"

"To answer the queen, the ambassador said that he will enter the capital from the north gate in three days." Roger bowed his head and answered.

"Then welcome him according to the highest standards. Three days is enough time to arrange." Queen Teton murmured to herself, and then turned to look at her husband, "Three days later, I will come out with you. At that time, you will be the leader and I will assist you."

"This... I..." Merezakli was about to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.

Queen Teton saw her husband's thoughts and said in a tough attitude: "Just do as I say, this matter is not negotiable."

"Sir Roger."

"Queen, please give your orders."

"You will preside over this ceremony. After meeting the ambassador, you will take over your elder brother's position and become the new foreign minister of the Kingdom of Teton."

"Thank you, Queen."

Rogier was excited and saluted Queen Teton.

After standing up, Roger bowed to King Titon again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Sir Roger, please leave."

"Yes, Queen."

Rogier looked respectful and left the hall.

After a while, Queen Teton ordered people to close the door of the hall, came to sit on the throne, looked at her husband, her expression became indifferent, and said: "I don't care how many women and illegitimate children you have outside, but you can't jump in front of me."

"You will be responsible for the aftermath of Tollien Manor. I don't want to see a living person in the Slivi family."

"Yes, King..."

"Well?"

The sharp eyes of Queen Teton made Merezakli tremble all over. He forced a smile and said in a gentle tone: "Elsa, I know."

"My dear Merezakli, you should know my feelings for you very well."

Queen Teton Elsa suddenly stood up and disappeared. The next moment, she appeared in front of Merezakli, stroking his face with her hand, and said gently: "I will not interfere with your affairs, but your love for me cannot change."

"Yes... yes."

"Why, are you afraid of me?" Queen Teton looked up at her husband, and the gentle look disappeared instantly, replaced by extreme indifference.

"No, Elsa, sixty years ago, I loved you, and now I still love you, even if I die..."

"Okay, I won't let you say that." Queen Teton put her finger on her husband's lips to stop him from continuing.

Queen Teton gently tidied up Merezakli's wrinkled clothes, and said in a gentle tone: "Tonight, I'll wait for you in the Tierra Garden."

"I will." Merezakli held Elsa's hand and acted infatuated.

After Queen Teton left, Merezakli looked at the empty hall, sat on the ground without any image, and sweated profusely.

He thought that Tollien Manor was done by his children, but he didn't expect it was Elsa who did it.

I don't know when Elsa's mental state began to have problems. Sometimes she was gentle and kind, sometimes she was cold and ruthless, sometimes she was cruel and bloodthirsty...

"It seems to have appeared when she handed over the government affairs to me ten years ago."

As for the idea of ​​​​undermining his wife and becoming the real king of Teton, after taking over the government affairs, Merezakli had thought about it, but every time he gathered some confidants, the whole family would be killed at the beginning of the next month.

After several such tragedies, no one dared to join him, and he didn't dare to do such a thing again.

The initial guess was that his wife did it, but after decades of getting along, he didn't believe that his wife would do such a thing, so he guessed that it was a means left by the previous king to prevent the throne from being controlled by others.

Out of fear, Merezakli gave up unrealistic ideas and began to govern the Kingdom of Teton seriously.

Now it seems that those things were most likely done by his wife.

If Elsa didn't tell him the truth about Tollien Manor today, he probably wouldn't think in this direction.

Thinking of this, Merezakli clenched his fists, and after a long time, he loosened his fists.

"Ah——"

After a sigh, Merezakli stood up from the ground, returned to the palace, prepared to take a bath, and went to the Tierra Garden to meet Elsa in the evening.

...

Late at night the next day, Rogier carefully passed through the tunnel and came to a private garden in the northern city. In a pavilion in the center of the garden, a woman was lying casually on a long wooden chair. In the dark, twelve female assassins secretly guarded her and protected her safety.

"Your Highness, good night." Rogier came to the outside of the pavilion, bowed and saluted, and said.

"Come in and sit down." Hearing the cold voice, Rogier stood up, entered the pavilion, and sat down opposite the girl.

"I heard from Rachel that you reached some agreement with the ambassador." The girl looked at Rogier with cold eyes and asked expressionlessly.

"Yes, Your Highness." Rogier did not cover up and said straight to the point.

"Tell me why you do this, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get out of here today." The girl picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea for Rogier, and sent it to him, her tone full of murderous intent.

Around the pavilion, several assassins appeared, looking at the target, waiting for the master's order.

Seeing this, Rogier was not panicked at all and told the whole transaction process, including his own guesses.

After a long time, the girl looked up at the moon, with a trace of deep thought in her eyes. She waved her hand gently, signaling the assassin to withdraw.

Seeing this, Rogier was relieved. He knew that His Highness agreed with his idea, otherwise he would have died here today.

"After the welcoming ceremony, I want to talk to the ambassador alone."

"Your Highness, I will try my best."

"You go back first."

"Yes." Rogier stood up and saluted, and left quickly.
