Dragon Zero

Chapter 1882: Empty corridor

There was a strong sound of footsteps in the direction of the empty stairs. There was only one group of sounds, and it was a person. Queen Midgart took a deep breath, knowing it was time to meet her destiny. The fate of the loser!

Freed's steps were not slow, he didn't slow down until he got closer. Seeing the queen looking at the city all the time, she didn't even look at herself. He knew that this woman was desperate. She was so eager to know what happened outside, but now she is indifferent to it.

"Your Majesty the Queen." Fried said softly.

The queen also faintly responded: "Queen... Am I still a queen now?"

"Yes, you are still and will always be the queen of this land."

"Heh. It's just that it appears in the book and the bard's pen in a dead form, right?" The queen was cold with a trace of grief and anger.

"You can live too." Fried replied: "The kingship never listed you as a mortal in the first place."

The queen sneered again: "Live, be a nominal queen, actually be a puppet, let you control everything in this country under the guise of me?"

"Manipulation and being manipulated are never absolute." Fried saw the queen wearing a half-ban badge on her chest and said: "Look at you, ruling everything in this country, controlling the life and death of this country. But in turn, this country and the people here are also controlling you. If you are worried about rebellion, you want to appease the people. You need the support of nobles and merchants, so you have to take care of their interests. Sometimes you say you In controlling this country, it is better to say that you are controlled by this country. In other words, if the world has heaven and gods, then why are we not puppets controlled by gods? God loves the world, but wants us to follow them Isn’t this the one being manipulated?"

The queen involuntarily held the badge on her chest and said: "I don't want to discuss these philosophical issues of nothingness with you. You are the winner. Everything is right."

"Then let's talk about something practical." Fried said: "About all your subjects on this land, their interests and the future."

Fried also looked at everything in the city and said: "The city destroyed by wars and disasters has been rebuilt. Everyone has the sorrow of the disaster, but they have a prosperous future. They are full of energy because they want a good life and need A rich and stable home. So, it’s time for us to end this."

The queen listened quietly.

Fried went on to say: "Your Majesty, I want you to give a square speech in the Municipal Square here to inform all your subjects and people, and let them give up their remaining resistance and return to their homeland. You should also inform all your support. Let them lay down their weapons, stop all the assassinations and riots, and bring peace to this place again. That way, I can give you the same peaceful old age."

The queen's face changed and turned pale, she finally turned her head and stared at Fried: "You want me to give a surrender speech!? Ha, ha...hahaha..." The queen laughed and trembled. But there were tears in his eyes, and he pressed his heart and angrily said: "Then I should still lead civilian officers and generals, and give you a grand ceremony of surrendering the whole country?"

Freed smiled awkwardly: "If so...that would be great."

"You dream~!!!" Queen Midgart yelled hysterically, even her usual elegant voice broke: "You are crazy! You are robbers! You broke into my home, but you want me to give up Resistance! No, listen, no, I will never give up fighting when I die, even if I am under house arrest by you now, I will not do anything like that! Listen well, no~!"

Fried took out his ears with his little fingers and blew in front of his mouth. In contrast to the gentleness just now, he said with a strong and merciless indifference: "Queen, Queen, in war, I have never sympathized with others, you Don’t lose it. I have one last sympathy for you. In your heart, who is more important to your personal power and the safety of your subjects? I admit that most monarchs will think that their power is the most important in their hearts, and subjects are just ants. But. , Think about the innocent people who have supported you and your family for so many years. Do you really want them to become a tool of sacrifice under your power and desire?" He shook his head slightly: "All these years are enough. The name Midgart is here. Enough enjoyment on the land, it’s time to let go. You Queen Midgart doesn’t have the capital not to let go. The Storm Nation has signed an agreement with our army, Rheinweis has also lost its fighting spirit, and the coalition has collapsed, including The door of the criminals whom you regarded as the life-saving talisman, they were beaten so terribly, the leader did not know where they fled. Do you still want to restore the country? Oh, no, you can't let it go, there is no room for you to choose. "

"No! No! You are talking nonsense, I don't believe it, I don't believe what you said..." Queen Midgart screamed like crazy, shocking the guards patrolling downstairs.

Fried didn't choose to use words to force her, until she calmed down and sat down by the pillars of the wall of the corridor, she said calmly, "No, you believe it."

These short three words made Queen Midgart cry out with a cry of ‘ah’, crying with extreme grief and tears.

Yes, even the strongest person has a fragile side, even if she is a queen. When the seemingly hard but fragile shell in her heart was shattered, the soft side of her heart collapsed instantly.

Fried’s voice is not loud, but absolutely ruthless: "Midgart, you must preach your declaration of surrender today. This is the last decent I give you. If not, you know that I can also control this, and the facts are The Shang has taken control, but you, and your stubborn loyal ministers, will pay the price in blood. The massacre has already been staged with me, and I don’t care to do it again!"

With the last word, Queen Midgart’s face turned pale, she lost all her hole cards and no bargaining chips to fight. As Fried said, she is the only thing she can do for this country. , Is to make the blood flow less on this land, don't make more sacrifices for her.

Seeing her staying still, but crying, Fried turned around and walked to the corridor stairs, calling the guard and saying, "Take the queen out for a walk, let her see the storm, the messenger of the Rhineland, and then take She went to jail and showed her to see those who were imprisoned because of her, as well as those who were arrested by us, the masters of the torture gate."

The two guards obeyed and lifted Queen Midgart from the ground and dragged it to the top of the stairs. Fried also said: "Don't be too rude, I promised her, give her one last touch of dignity, and let her look at her subjects with dignity."

The guards took the queen downstairs, and Fried looked at the city with confidence, touched the newly acquired armor, and felt unspeakable ups and downs, unspeakable throbbing in his heart.

Before the queen could get downstairs, the guards brought her up again: "Marshal, Her Majesty said that she would come back to see you."

Freed walked over and looked at the queen who had ceased sobbing: "Do you have anything to say?"

The queen tried to calm her tone, wiped away her tears with her clothes, and said, "I have three requirements."

"tell me the story."

The queen said: "Release all the soldiers and officers imprisoned because of this war. You can't let them... You can't force them to serve you."

Fried nodded without thinking: "Yes."

The queen said again: "You can't torture or exploit my subjects, just... I know that it might be useless to say that, but I still want to say, you have to give them a stable life, and your people cannot abuse or rob them. !"

"It's completely okay. My army has never been an army that has become powerful by looting, even if they are pirates and robbers in your eyes."

"Third, let go of the people around me, including those who are loyal to me, Wang Qijun and the maid. They have been protecting me and desperately defending Midgart’s royal dignity. I am grateful. Their loyalty also hopes that their future will be well. So, Marshal, please don't limit their freedom, so that they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives... I think this is what I can win for them, they The property you deserve."

Freed nodded: "I can promise you these three things. After the square speaks, everything will be as you wish."

"And..." the queen added: "Before this, I want to see Shimani. She is my servant. I want to talk to her alone."

In the room, Shimani was a lot haggard when she came, and her whole body looked weak. When she saw Her Majesty the Queen, she became excited again, but a guard held her arm by her side, preventing her from approaching.

The queen rarely showed some concern, looked at the guard next to her, and said: "Your marshal, promised me to meet with my waiter alone, and please go out."

The guard hesitated: "But... I am worried that you will not think about it..."

"Get out!" the queen yelled.

The guards had to withdraw.

After the person left, the queen eagerly hugged him: "Simani, let me see you okay?"

"Your Majesty..." Ximani had a lot of words that could not be said, but she kept crying.

The queen wiped away the tears on her face and said: "Ximani, Ximani, you have lost a lot of weight, did they hurt you?"

"They locked me up and didn't do anything to me." Simani said: "Your Majesty, are you okay here? Did they do anything to you..."

Two women, as the closest people to each other, complained about each other's pain. After a while, the queen took her by the hand and walked into the bedroom. She sat on the side of the bed and said, "Simani, there are some things I want to tell you, and some things I want to leave to you."

Ximani pretended to be strong and said: "Your Majesty, just say anything. It's just that Ximani is imprisoned now, I am afraid that things can't be done..."

"It's okay." The queen held her hand in her palm: "I will let them let you go. Now, let them let you go after a while."

"Really? So... what about you, your Majesty?"

The queen interrupted her and said: "Don't talk about this now, listen to me. Shimani, you are the person I trust the most, and I regard you as my most loyal confidant."

"Yes, your Majesty, I am willing to break your bones for you." Simani replied decisively.

The queen said: "But there is one thing you don't know, or few people know it. In a village, there is a child, a girl, and she... is my daughter."

Ximani was stunned, and after a few seconds she said, "Your Majesty, you mean you have a daughter outside?"

"Yes." The queen said: "I know, everyone thinks that I am a woman without a husband or children, so you, including many people in the country, regard me as a selfless example. I disappoint you, I..." she Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, "I am not as noble and selfless as others said."

"No, your Majesty, we have always thought you should have a child and a significant other." Simani comforted.

The queen shook her head again: "Back then, I made such remarks to secure the throne, but now... the opinions of others are not important. Now that the child is over four years old, I hope you find that child and take her away from here in peace. Raise her up. Of course, don't think about rebuilding the country."

"It's over four years old. That was a few years ago." Simani asked unexpectedly: "When did your majesty...?"

The queen sighed: "I visited the country when I was forty years old, and I was born quietly outside."

Ximani was stunned, and suddenly said in doubt: "Your Majesty, let me take your child away from here, then you..."

"Do you think I can still leave here?" The queen said helplessly: "I also want to raise her personally. I didn't even hug her any more. She is my favorite, and I always think about having her in the future. The opportunity to take her over the palace, but there is no such opportunity."

"Your Majesty..." Ximani was sad, worried for her: "Where is the princess's father?"

"Princess..." The queen smiled bitterly again: "You don't care about the child's father, that doesn't matter, because that person is dead. The child is now fostered in a farm home, and you take my message and a sum of money to pick up the child. Go, leave this country." She took out a small treasure box from under the pillow, took out a valuable treasure and said: "This treasure is enough for you and your children to be carefree for ten lifetimes. I believe you Will raise the child for me, Simani."

"Your Majesty!!" Simani knelt on the ground, shocked.

"You will do it, right?" The queen looked into her eyes earnestly, eagerly hoping to hear her affirmative promise.

Ximani lived up to expectations and nodded vigorously: "Simani will break your majesty."

The queen smiled relievedly: "Okay, you go. I will let them let you go, you..."

"Your Majesty, what are you going to say?"

The queen touched her long hair and said: "It's nothing, you must be good."
