Chapter 126: Kao's 'Good Queen' (33)



Cathedral of Saint-Varette.

The rear hall is the prayer hall used exclusively by the royal family.

At the top of the hall stands a sculpture of a plump woman holding a water basin. It is the statue of Siegrelana, the mother of nature.

She held the water basin high, received the gifts from the Supreme Creator, and turned these gifts into endless blessings, spreading them throughout the world.

Kneeling on the thick cotton cushion below the statue was a beautiful woman in her early thirties with a graceful figure.

The woman was wearing a dark black dress embroidered with dark silver roses. A rare black rose was inserted among her thick burgundy hair, indicating her noble status.

At this moment, she clasped her hands in front of her chest, lowered her head, and prayed silently to Mother Nature.

"Merciful Mother Nature, may my husband recover from his illness and my children always live in peace."

“No matter who eventually inherits the power of the Rose Kingdom, don’t kill each other.”

"Of course, as a mother, I also have my own selfish desires."

"I think my sixth daughter, Freya, is too young, and my third son, Aswan, is too strange. Only my eldest son, Llane, although he is slightly lacking in ability, is kind and generous, and is the most suitable to be the king of Kaa."

"Mother Nature, this is a mother's wish. If you have a better choice, I will follow it silently."

After silently reciting the prayer, the beautiful woman prostrated herself on the ground to show her respect to Mother Nature.

As she moved, the dress, as smooth as water, slid to the ground along with her body, vaguely outlining her plump and graceful body curves.

Anyone who saw such a scene would not believe that she was the queen of Kaa and the biological mother of many adult princes and princesses.

After crawling for a long time, the beautiful woman finally stood up.

A middle-aged maid with slightly silver hair came over and carefully helped the woman up.

"Your Majesty, are we going back to the palace directly?"

The queen was a very perceptive woman. When she heard this, she immediately asked, "Does anyone want to see me?"

The middle-aged maid nodded and said, "Your niece Luna brought a young man here and said she wants you to help her."

He added: "He is a young man, a commoner, said to be from the north of Weilan."

The queen frowned. "When did Luna become so absurd? Or is there something special about that young man?"

In her opinion, her niece Luna is a high-level wizard with a calm personality and should not be blinded by a man.

"I saw that the man was indeed good-looking. Besides, he had a rather amazing invention and was looking for investment for it."

"Invention? Investment?"

The queen wanted to refuse directly because this matter was not her business.

But then again, it's very normal to rely on personal connections to get things done these days, and she also likes her niece Luna very much.

Since my niece has come to me and she is not in the palace with its complicated etiquette and crowded sight, it is no big deal to give her some convenience.

After thinking for a moment, the queen made a decision: "Then let's go to the lounge next door and have a cup of tea."

After saying this, she raised her hand and made a few hand seals, and her eyebrows suddenly trembled slightly.

He immediately added, "I want to meet him alone. Don't let Luna come with us."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The middle-aged maid helped the young and elegant queen to the lounge next to the hall, then turned and left in a hurry.

In the lounge, the queen raised her hand and wiped her face, and she instantly changed from a young and beautiful girl to an old and wrinkled face with silver hair.

About ten minutes later, the maid came back quickly. She was used to the queen's old appearance because it was the queen's usual look when meeting guests.

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here alone. He is outside the door."

The queen asked, "Have you removed your weapons?"

"Unloaded."

"Very good, let him in."

"Click~~"

The door was pushed open.

A tall young man walked in, it was Rosen.

At this moment, the queen raised her head and her eyes were fixed on the other person.

At the same time, Rosen's eyes also fell on this legendary queen who had been the Queen of Kaa for forty years and raised seven children for King Silger.

With just one glance, he could tell that she had used Transfiguration.

I was startled: "What kind of transformation did the queen use?"

He immediately said to himself: "Laifu, try to restore the original appearance."

As a master of transformation, inferring the truth from the appearance is a basic skill.

But ordinary Transfiguration Wizards can only make a rough inference, but Rosen, with the help of Lai Fu's high computing power, can make a pretty close inference.

It can be seen that the queen's transformation skills are very average, so Lai Fu quickly revealed her true appearance.

She was probably in her early thirties, with burgundy hair, ice-blue eyes, and a noble and generous face. She sat upright on the bench, plump but not bloated.

In short, no matter from which angle you look at it, you can feel the natural luxury and elegance at a glance, and make people feel that the other person is superior.

The problem is, it's too young.

He should be in his 60s, but he is only in his 30s.

This goes against common sense and is inconsistent with known intelligence.

Rosen observed the other person intently and then discovered the reason.

The peak of the five rings, the realm of sage.

Queen Kaa was actually a sage, and must have been promoted at a very young age, so the aging of her body was greatly slowed down.

At the same time, the queen also spoke: "Young man, I can't see through you. Who are you?"

Rosen suddenly understood that this was the sensitivity of a high-level mage.

When the other party agreed to meet with you alone, he had already encountered some unexpected things.

It is highly likely that the five-ring fortune-telling technique was used.

So he smiled and avoided answering the other party's question: "Your Majesty, the results of fortune-telling are very unreliable. If you make a decision based on the results of divination, something bad will happen."

The queen smiled faintly: "Of course I know this, but I carry some very powerful magic weapons with me, which are enough to protect myself."

Rosen nodded in agreement: "That's true."

The queen asked again: "I can feel that you have very strong magic power, much stronger than me. You should have six rings of magic power, right?"

"almost."

"Oh~ How enviable."

The queen showed a yearning on her face and asked again: "Then, respected Master, what is your purpose?"

Rosen said directly: "I hope to help His Majesty Silger recover his health."

The queen shook her head. "I don't think you have the ability to do that, because my husband is really old. He is only a senior warrior, and he is already 68 years old."

After a pause, she added: "The kings of the Natural Alliance are all sons of the God of Nature. As long as they can survive, Mother Nature will not let them die easily."

Rosen was prepared for this, and he insisted, "I understand, but I still want to give it a try because I am very proficient in healing."

The queen asked, "Why?"

Rosen spread his hands: "Of course it's to get some compensation."

I should have said it directly, but now unexpected circumstances have arisen and the situation is very unclear.

For safety reasons, I have no choice but to hide my true identity for now.

The queen did not answer immediately. She folded her hands on her knees and thought silently.

This performance made Rosen's heart move slightly: "According to common sense, I have the intention to save her husband, and what she should do now is to verify my ability. Why is she still considering it?"

"Does he have any concerns? Or does he not want the king to continue living and want to rule himself?"

This possibility is very high, because although the king is old, the queen is in her prime and possesses amazing talent.

After thinking for a while, the queen spoke: "I personally hope that you can save my husband, but if you fail, forget it. If you succeed, I am afraid that it will disturb the apostle of Mother Nature."

"After all, you have accomplished something that even the apostles were unable to do."

“By then, no one knows what the outcome will be.”

Rosen smiled and said, "I'm afraid this is not the main reason, because Your Majesty, you are not afraid of the Apostles of Nature."

"No, I'm afraid."

"Haha~ If you were really afraid, you wouldn't have chosen to receive me in the Great Temple of Saint Varet."

The queen was silent again.

Rosen asked directly: "So, Your Majesty, in your heart you don't want the king to continue living?"

The queen did not give a direct answer: "Even if you are a six-ring magic saint, if you know too many secrets, you may not be able to leave Silver Moon City alive."

There was a hidden threat in his words, but since Rosen was here, he was naturally not afraid of the threat.

"Your Majesty, I know your cards."

Rosen looked at the gorgeous black dress with silver patterns on the other person, his eyes moved downwards and fixed on the wide hem of the skirt.

"There should be a powerful attacking magic weapon hidden under your skirt. As long as you activate it, you can launch a very terrifying attack in an instant, right?"

The queen showed a hint of surprise on her face, but she nodded slowly.

"You guessed right."

“But I’m not willing to use it unless I have to.”

Rosen smiled and said, "No matter how powerful a magic weapon is, it will take time to activate. I am sure I won't give you that time."

The queen stared at Rosen and said, "You are too confident, Mr. Fasheng."

"And you have to understand that any movement here will alert my guards. If I delay for less than five seconds, you will be surrounded by my guards."

At this point, the situation has become clear.

Either Rosen gave up his plan to treat the king and left Kaa immediately, or he might be hunted down by the queen on the way.

If he continued to move forward, he would definitely be intercepted by the queen, and judging from her attitude, she would definitely do her best to stop him.

In other words, normal means can no longer achieve the goal.

But Rosen's most fundamental goal is to maintain the stability of the political situation in Kao in order to keep Aaron in check, or even hold him back when necessary.

Saving the old king was just a means for him to achieve his fundamental goal.

But obviously, the emergence of the huge variable of the Wise Queen made this path impossible.

Now it seems that he has to make a new plan of action.

But what to do?

In a flash of thought, he asked softly: "Your Majesty, may I know why?"

"You don't need to know, leaving immediately is your only option right now!"

The queen looked very determined and refused to say another word.

Rosen sighed inwardly: "It seems that special means must be used."

Now is the best time. If we wait until the queen returns to the palace, there will be no chance at all.
