Realm of Power

430 Turga's Scourge

"I am a practical lover of history"

In front of the fat man, Queen Aichemore put the scroll in her hand into the wooden box. She looked at the fat man with a complex expression and said in a slow voice.

"In order to have the deepest understanding of historical trends, I even tried to create a history with my own hands. Unfortunately, I failed."

Queen Aichemore said it lightly, but it caused a wave of fluctuation in Fatty's heart.

Yes, the beautiful woman with a gentle smile in front of you is not an ordinary person. She was once the protagonist of that era, and she single-handedly created the legend of a glorious dynasty.

But today, I told myself that behind her dazzling brilliance, there was just such a simple reason that could not be simpler.

"Aren't you shocked?" Queen Aichemor stared at the fat man with bright eyes. She seemed to be very satisfied with the fat man's current expression.

"Haha." The corner of Queen Aichemore's mouth raised slightly, and she suddenly laughed, and said to the cold and arrogant maid beside her, "Look, Qili Ellie, I said that no one will believe my words, even if they are the truth in my heart."

The cold and arrogant maid next to the "Princess" seemed to have become accustomed to her master's weird habits. Looking at the fat man's surprised and somewhat embarrassed face, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and reminded her in a low voice.

"Oh. I forgot that there are guests." Queen Aichemore also felt that she was a little bit out of place, and she quickly sat upright and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't met an official guest for a long time. Please forgive me for the momentary lapse."

"No, it's nothing." The fat man looked embarrassed and wiped the sweat from his head with his hand.

Although he had just come into contact with the legendary Queen Aichemore, Fatty had also initially figured out some of her temper.

This legendary queen seems to be very far from the image of a great monarch, and can even be said to be completely unrelated. In terms of personality, she still looks like a perverse and changeable girl.

But when I think about it, I feel relieved. I was betrayed by my subordinates at my most critical moment.

Then he was imprisoned in such a deserted palace for more than ten years due to his own brother's plan. Without a cheerful personality, he might have gone crazy long ago.

"Since you have seen me, can you tell me who is looking for me?"

Queen Aichemore held up the fat man's scroll in her hand and asked the fat man with a relaxed expression.

"This" the fat man hesitated for a moment when he was asked. Because the incident happened suddenly, the fat man did not expect to meet a real person, and it was difficult to find a suitable explanation for the moment.

You can't say that you are just a passerby, right?

"Then let me guess." A smile appeared on the corner of Queen Aichemore's mouth, she blinked her eyes slyly, and suddenly said

"Your Excellency, you have been entrusted by Princess Sceris of the royal court to investigate whether I really exist."

"Ah, this is so awesome," the fat man looked slightly surprised, with a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.

I didn’t expect that Queen Aichemore was so smart that she could guess her purpose clearly from just one painting.

Seeing the smile of the other party's successful mischief, Fatty felt for the first time that this woman and Scellis were really a mother and daughter, even their unique cunning and evil taste were somewhat similar.

It seems that under this ordinary and straightforward appearance, there is an exquisite and astute heart. The fat man cannot deny it for a while, nor can he admit it.

At this time, the "creeping" small door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A plainly dressed Kukit maid walked in, bowed in front of Queen Achemore with a respectful expression and said

"Princess, Miss Qili Weixue's right hand was injured. Granny Azarle asked me to find the housekeeper Qili Aili to get some medicine for the injury."

"Oh. That girl Qili Weixue is actually injured." Queen Aichemore, who had been smiling just now, frowned slightly and asked with a solemn expression.

"That girl grew up here and is a Level 3 Laren Warrior. Who could hurt her?"

"Yes...Yes..." The Kujit maid hesitated for a while, but her eyes turned on the fat man.

"Oh? It turns out that the Lord personally took action." Queen Aichemore saw the maid staring at the fat man and asked a few questions quickly.

After getting the confirmation from the cold and proud woman beside him, he immediately asked the cold and proud woman beside him to take out the medicine and give it to the maid.

Watching the maid leave the room, Queen Achemore turned back,

"My lord, you don't need to feel so guilty." Queen Aichemore's voice was clear and she looked at the nervous fat man and smiled, "That girl Qili Weixue was an orphan I picked up on the battlefield fifteen years ago. She has been with us here since she was a child. Growing up in ruins,

The maids taught some inferior martial arts skills when they were free, and this girl thought she was already a master.

It doesn't matter if she is defeated by an adult tonight, let this crazy girl know what it means to have a better world. With her little ability, she will only make jokes in front of experienced masters."

"There, there, I hurt the princess's people. It's hard for the princess not to blame me." The fat man apologized.

"I heard that your weapons are unique." Queen Aichemore's voice seemed to be thinking of something, and she said with a curious look on her face.

"Though some of my maids are humble, they were famous swordsmen on the grassland in the past. But in front of the Lord's door, they were beaten to the point of being unable to fight back. I wonder if that weapon can open my eyes as well."

"Of course it's okay." The fat man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Queen Aichmore had no intention of pursuing the matter. He took out a coiled riding crop from his arms.

This is Scellis' riding crop. After the fat man got it, he never returned it.

I was in a hurry outside the door just now, so I pulled it out easily.

"This is" Seeing the fat man actually taking out a woman's riding crop from his arms, Queen Aichemore showed a stunned expression.

Even the cold and arrogant woman next to her who had always had a cold face opened her mouth wide, showing a weird and embarrassed look that could not be concealed.

"Your Majesty used this riding crop to injure that crazy girl Qili Weixue." Queen Aichemore narrowed her eyes slightly, with a smile worth pondering at the corner of her mouth.

He seemed to have encountered something particularly interesting, with a somewhat suppressed smile in his voice.

"Yes, it's this riding crop." The fat man looked confused and didn't know what was wrong. "

Haha, I forgot, today is the Seventh Day on the grassland." Queen Aichemore couldn't suppress her mouth any longer and laughed out loud. Even the cold and arrogant maid beside her grinned slightly,

"I wonder if I could ask, which noble lady from the family gave this riding whip to you?" Queen Aichemore looked curious.

Women's love for gossip does not distinguish between status and age.

"July 10th..." The fat man looked at Queen Aichmore's half-smiling expression and suddenly reacted,

Sceris once told herself that the seventh lunar month is the coming-of-age ceremony for Kugit boys and girls.

If the girl is interested in someone, she will give her a riding crop that she has knitted by herself.

On the contrary, they will be beaten with a horse whip.

Thinking that he had whipped several maids of Queen Achemore with a whip just now, the fat man also looked embarrassed.

Even though the fat man has thick skin and thick flesh, his face is also flushed.

"This is definitely a misunderstanding." The fat man was sweating on his head. He was incoherent for a while and waved his arms.

"This riding crop was given to me by a friend of mine a few days ago. Because the incident happened suddenly, I just pulled it out. There was absolutely no other meaning.

"Oh, so that's it." Queen Achemore smiled, as if she were watching a shy little boy explaining an embarrassing mistake he had made unintentionally.

"I don't know which family this friend of yourselves belongs to?" Queen Achemore said as she coiled the riding crop in her hand into a circle and touched it along the side embroidered with gold thread.

This is a secret among Kugit girls. When twisting this horsewhip, which is of great significance to them, all the girls will secretly make a mark on the surface of the horsewhip.

Sew your name on it with tiny, imperceptible tendon threads,

Queen Achemore listened to the fat man's explanation with a smile, while secretly guessing the possible names.

Suddenly, Queen Achemore's fingers stopped, and the smile on her lips disappeared.

A clear name appeared in Queen Achemore's mind, that name was so familiar,

Queen Achemore's eyes were shining, and there was a hint of cyan on her face.

"My lord, please tell me truthfully, who gave you this riding crop?" Queen Ai Chemore's face darkened, and her friendly expression just now turned into ice in an instant.

"It's over." The fat man looked at Queen Aichemore, whose face changed suddenly, and knew that he must have discovered something.

This riding crop was originally taken by force from Scellis.

Thinking of the hesitant look on Scellis's face at that time, even a fool knew that the significance of this riding crop was extraordinary.

But no one thought it would mean this.

The corner of Fatty's mouth turned bitter. He felt that he was so wronged. He almost wanted to cry without tears. What the hell was this? The mother-in-law is questioning her son-in-law?

"I snatched this from Princess Scellis." The fat man decided that it would be better to tell the truth.

No matter how unstable the woman in front of him looks, Fatty knows very well that the fickle woman in front of him is a real ruthless character.

In front of such people who have seen strong winds and waves, the best way to avoid misunderstandings is to tell the truth.

"At that time, the princess was beating the guards angrily... I was so excited that I snatched the riding whip over." The fat man shrugged helplessly.

After listening to the fat man's explanation, Queen Achemore's face became slightly more relaxed.

He looked at the fat man's naive face again, nodded and said

"Sir, there is no need to be so nervous. I am not a Kugit. Such mistakes can be forgiven."

Queen Aichemore smiled and said, "You may not know yet, but I actually knitted this riding crop when I was young.

When Scelis was sixteen years old, I gave this riding whip to the royal court, and asked King Khan to reward Scelis in the name of the royal court.

I heard that Scellis cherished this riding crop very much, but she didn’t expect to see it in front of the adults, so she lost her composure for a moment."

Queen Aichemore said, suddenly her expression showed a trace of sadness and said

“I have lived here for so long that I have forgotten that today is July Day on the grassland, and I don’t know how Scellis spent her day today.

Since she entrusted you to come here, she must trust you very much.

I wonder if adults can tell me whether she already has someone she likes in her heart."

"I don't know about this either." The fat man shook his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand. He felt that his head was as big as a drum now.

Without thinking, he said casually, "Princess, I have been watching the game outside the city all afternoon, but I didn't see anyone?"

"Oh, spending the whole afternoon with adults?" Queen Aichemore stared at the fat man with complicated eyes.

The fat man's heart went crazy as he was stared at.

Realizing that her words might have been misunderstood, she quickly said, "Queen, don't get me wrong. The princess is with me just to watch the game. There is really nothing else. I can swear this on the honor of the Duke of Vecchia."

"Haha, sir, there's no need to be nervous. I'm just asking." Queen Aichemore looked at the flustered fat man. After being silent for a while, she suddenly changed her tone and asked,

"Your Excellency is a well-known general recognized by the mainland. Every time I think of your impressive and glorious achievements, I always want to ask him personally,

In your eyes, what are the chances of our Kugit army winning against the Ruidian people this time?"

The fat man's expression changed, he hesitated for a while and said

"If on the vast grassland, the Kujit cavalry comes and goes like the wind,

Even against twice the amount of Ruidian's army, he still has a guaranteed chance of victory.

If you wear heavy armor and hold a heavy spear in your hand to attack the city and plunder the land,

Ten thousand Riedian heavy infantry is enough to conquer a city twice as large as the Kugit army.

Both armies have their own strengths. It depends on the flexibility of battlefield tactics."

Queen Aichemore looked at the serious-looking fat man, her gentle gaze suddenly solemnly said

"What if our Kujit cavalry faced the famous Wekiya army in the south?

As far as I know, your lord's 60,000 elite troops are preparing to go out on the border of Kugit!

You can attack our city of Turga at any time.

I don’t know, sir, but you already have a plan to use troops against me, Kujit.”

"The queen is too worried. This is just a temporary arrangement." The fat man's expression changed after being told that.

Seeing the aggressive gaze of Queen Aichemore, the fat man did not show any weakness, and his slightly narrowed eyes instantly turned into sword-like sharpness.

She said forcefully, "The Queen is also a hero of her generation. She should understand such an arrangement."

The military is the guarantee of a country, and every move of the military is related to the interests of the country.

A country that does not use its military is destined not to last long;

Likewise, countries that overuse their military will be brought down

Wekiya has just been pacified, and I have no plans to launch troops against any country yet.

We are stationing troops at the border. We just don’t want the war situation in the north to involve me, Wikiya."

"Haha, what a temporary arrangement. Queen Aichemore looked at the angry fat man and smiled instead of being angry.

The Vekia Falcon is indeed the fastest rising monarch in the past two years."

Queen Aichemore stood up, sighed with emotion, looked up at the bright moon outside the window and said

"If fifteen years ago, I would have had such a calm arrangement,

Why was the Ruidian army taking the opportunity to capture Aichmore, and then was betrayed by relatives during the retreat, and ended up in the current situation of being imprisoned? "

"That's all. That's all." Queen Aichemore turned around with heartfelt feelings and looked at the fat man with piercing eyes.

"The Ruidian army is suppressing the territory in a big way. I believe you will leave Turga soon."

"Yes, I will leave immediately after delivering the task tonight." The fat man nodded. There is no need to be secretive in front of smart people.

"I have a request, I don't know if you can agree to it." Queen Aichemore didn't hide it when she saw the fat man, her voice suddenly became lower, and she whispered with sincerity.

"What's the request?" The fat man looked at Queen Aichemore's unusually solemn expression and knew that it must be something very important. He asked with a confused look on his face,

"You go down first." Queen Aichemor waved her hand to the cold and arrogant maid beside her. Only the fat man was left in the room.

Queen Achemore gently touched the riding crop in her hand with her fingers, and said with a hint of sadness in her expression.

"I hope adults can take Sceris away. No matter where she goes, she will never return to Turga City within a month."

"Ah, this, I'm afraid this is impossible." The fat man was startled by Queen Aichemore's request and said hesitantly.

"It's not that I don't want to, Princess Sceris is now the defense officer of the outer city of Turga City.

Even if I were willing, Princess Sceris would not leave Turga alone with me, leaving the Kugit tribe behind."

"No, others can't do this, but you can." Queen Aichemore looked solemn, raised the riding whip in her hand and said

"Adults may not know the importance of this riding crop. It represents not only the friendship between men and women in Kugit, but

Still have power

If a Kujit woman puts it in your hands, it means you have the authority to let her go anywhere with you.

Whether she is a distinguished princess or a humble nomad, it is the same in front of this riding crop,

This is the unique right of the husband of a Kugit woman, and even the supreme royal court and tribal council have no power to interfere.

For a disobedient wife, you can use this riding crop to whip her hard until she becomes completely obedient and follows you."

"Ah." The fat man was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this riding crop had such power.

Thinking of how Scellis had been following him obediently all afternoon, looking a bit like Kujit's wife, the fat man felt at a loss for a moment.

"Take her away." Queen Aichemore looked resolute, and handed the riding whip to the fat man's hand. She looked at the fat man with bright eyes.

"I originally wanted the people from Dongting to take Scellis away, but now,

I found that you are Sceris’s best choice. Turga is in danger now. As for why,

I will send someone to tell you when necessary. What you have to do now is to take Sceris away immediately. Within this month, you must not return to Turga. This is a mother's request, a mother who has always cared about her daughter. request"

"As long as you are willing to help me, I can promise that the entire Aichemoer and the western grasslands will belong to your respected Grand Duke of Vikia Falcon." Queen Aichemoer's eyes flashed with an inexplicable emotion, and her voice was a little excited.

"
