Although Archduke James was very angry, he eventually swallowed the bitter pill himself.
If Zola hadn't frozen the monster and cut the monster into hundreds of pieces with his sword skills.
I'm afraid that the explosion will affect a wider area, and his entire hunting ground may be gone as a result.
He emerged from the lake and led the men in black to find the surviving guards.
Most of the guards were killed before they could react.
Only a few of the guards who stood far away and were clever fell to the ground at the moment of the explosion and survived with the light armor on their bodies.
But the surviving guards were still seriously injured and would not be able to recover in a short time.
Treating them costs a lot of money.
Archduke James was regretful and heartbroken, but he didn't know who to lose his temper at.
Blame Zola?
Someone was kind enough to help him freeze the monster, but it was his stupidity who did it without investigating clearly, so he couldn't blame them.
He didn't dare to blame.
Because Zola does not belong to any institution in the kingdom.
She only obeys the Queen's personal orders and belongs to the Queen's private force. She is not at the mercy of the kingdom or the royal family.
The reason why he knew Zola was because of the Queen's trust and because he had worked with Zola more than ten years ago.
He knew that Zola was withdrawn and cold, and never meddle in other people's business. Her appearance must be the result of the Queen's order.
As for the frozen demon spider, she probably helped because Archduke James was one of the few people she knew.
Archduke James only dared to complain and did not dare to really "settle accounts" with Zola, otherwise, he would probably be beaten by Zola!
Yes.
Even though Archduke James looked very strong, in Zola's hands, he really couldn't make waves.
Because Zola is a saint! It is still an old antique that has become a Saint level more than a hundred years ago.
Of course, Zola is not an old guy who is over a hundred years old. On the contrary, she is just a girl who is three hundred years old.
That’s right, girl! An elf girl! A holy swordsman from the Elf clan with an average lifespan of eight hundred years!
James really didn't dare to mess with this girl who was older than his grandmother.
Even though that person has lived for hundreds of years, her temper is no different from that of a teenage human girl.
Fortunately, she only served the queen because of the agreement, and she only dealt with the queen's private affairs and never participated in the internal affairs of the kingdom.
Otherwise, it would be the turn of those guys in the aristocratic circle to dance around all day long!
Apart from the Queen, only Archduke James and Julia Kent know Zola's true strength.
Even if other people knew about Zora's existence, they just thought that Zora was a gold-level swordsman.
At least, that's what the royal knights in the palace who were beaten by Zola thought.
Well, whether it's level 8 or level 9.
The Grand Duke left the men in black to clean up the mess for him with a look of sorrow on his face. He himself took the things salvaged by the men in black and rushed back towards the palace with his personal "bodyguard" Feisili.
Such a serious explosion probably woke up the entire British city.
Plus, dawn is approaching, so the Queen must not be able to sleep, as she is waiting for news from him.
Soon, the Grand Duke arrived outside the palace with Feisili, one person and one horse.
Then after going through layers of notifications, he finally entered the palace and saw the queen waiting for him in the study.
"Ah! Her Majesty the Queen, you must make the decision for me! Your poor finance minister almost went to the Kingdom of God to meet the gods!!"
As soon as the Grand Duke entered the study, he started crying loudly before the door was closed.
The sound was so loud that Feisili, who followed the guard, had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Ahem, Mr. Williams, please come with me."
The queen's butler coughed awkwardly and invited Fesli to wait in the lounge next door.
Although Fesli Williams is the Grand Duke's bodyguard, he still has to follow arrangements in the palace.
In the study, the queen glared at the exaggerated grand duke angrily, but there was nothing she could do about him.
This was the Grand Duke's disguise, and she could only continue acting with him.
Judging from the effects of more than ten years, the Grand Duke's disguise is still very successful.
"Okay, James. Look at how embarrassed you are, how rude you are when you come to see me."
The Queen also performed loudly, as if she didn't like to see the Grand Duke.
"Oh, Your Majesty the Queen, it's not that I want to be rude, but someone forced me to be rude! A hundred private soldiers in my hunting ground have been killed by gangsters!"
"I don't know who killed me. I have a hundred silver knights and only three or two kittens are dead. I'm so miserable!"
Seeing the Grand Duke howling and crying, the Queen couldn't hold it in any longer.
One hundred silver knights, he really dared to say that!
The Royal Knights can't even find a hundred silver-level knights!
No! It should be that there are not a hundred silver-level knights in the entire British city!
There are silver-level experts, but there are absolutely no knights!
Even among the silver-level warriors in the Royal Knights, not every one of them is an orthodox knight.
More are silver-level warriors sent by other noble families to be plated or on rotation. To make it sound better, the queen canonized them all as royal knights.
Besides, although the queen didn't know the specific details of the matter, she still understood the general matter.
Although Zola did not return to the palace, he sent someone to deliver the news.
Therefore, the Queen thought that the Grand Duke was acting.
"That's enough, James, just act twice! There are no outsiders here!"
The Queen cursed the Grand Duke in a low voice.
Who would have thought that the Grand Duke would be even more aggrieved.
He took the chair handed over by Yulia and sat down: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, I didn't act, my hunting ground was really almost destroyed by the bombing. The guards also suffered heavy losses."
The Queen was surprised: "Really?"
"Really." The Grand Duke nodded. He knew that the Queen must have heard what Zola said about what happened before, so he immediately talked about what happened after Zola left.
The queen looked shocked and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Such a thing happened. James, are you okay? Are you injured? Do you need to summon a monk to check for you? You know, the monk arranged by the Natural Church has been living in the palace."
"No, no need. I just look a little embarrassed. I'm fine."
Naturally, the Grand Duke would not allow people from the Church of Nature to treat him. Wouldn't that be a joke?
And given his ability, he was indeed not injured.
He was just not prepared enough and that was why he was so embarrassed.
"You said that, so I feel relieved."
The queen put down her worries, James was her good helper and staunch ally.
In the court, relying on James to make jokes and cause trouble for the Parliament, the Queen had the opportunity to divide the Parliament and slowly take control of the real power.
"James, what do you think about this? Which party is responsible for it?"
James considered it in his mind and then said: "Sorry, I can't think of anyone who would recruit this kind of monster at this time. Judging from the extent of the explosion, if Zola hadn't taken action, most of the With its power, I estimate that the monster's self-destruction can completely destroy my hunting ground, and it may even affect the surrounding areas."
"No! It's so scary!"
The queen's eyes widened in surprise.
It seemed that James minimized the danger just now in order not to worry her.
"Well, therefore, I think no one in England City would be stupid enough to let in such a monster that might affect them. Unless, that person is not in England City!"
After listening to the Grand Duke's analysis, the Queen had a headache.
"Damn it, the goddess of misfortune recently came to England to visit. Why are all the bad luck happening together!"
The Queen complained irritably, and even the Grand Duke agreed in his heart.
First, a jihad contract breaks out, and the contractor mysteriously disappears.
Various forces are ready to move, and there is an undercurrent surging behind the city of England.
Some people in the aristocratic circle have close personal relationships with the Church of Nature, and they often flirt with each other.
Now an unknown monster appears again causing trouble.
Unlucky things happened one after another, making [Dark Night] very busy.
As the person in charge of [Dark Night], the Grand Duke understands this deeply.
"By the way, Your Majesty, this is what Zola wants, and I brought it to her."
The Grand Duke remembered the wet bundle in his hand and placed it on the table.
When the queen saw the bundle, a flash of excitement flashed in her eyes, and then she motioned to Yulia to take the things off.
"Oh, since it's what Zola wants, I'll help her put it away. Yulia, remember to deliver it to Zola when it gets light."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing that the Queen didn't want to mention the contents, the Grand Duke wisely didn't say anything.
Zola appeared in his territory in the middle of the night. It couldn't be to deal with her own private matters, otherwise there would be no need for her to show up in front of [Dark Night].
Since the Queen didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask.
This is the tacit understanding he has had with the Queen for so many years.
However, he regretted a little. Why didn't he open the bag and take a look on the way just now? Maybe he could learn something from the contents inside.
Now, no matter how curious he was, he couldn't ask more questions.
"By the way, Your Majesty. The two people Ms. Zola took away may know something about what happened tonight."
James clicked a little bit about Zola taking away the two parties.
The queen felt unhappy, but she nodded calmly and said, "I know about this. I will ask her later."
The implication is: James, please leave this matter alone.
James heard the Queen's perfunctory tone and became curious about the identities of those two people.
However, he was measured and did not say much on this matter.
After working together for so many years, he couldn't tell that the Queen was no longer happy.
"Then, do you need to make a fuss about this matter next?"
The Queen heard James' question, thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay, just make a fuss over this matter and see if anyone with ulterior motives jumps out. As for the extent of the fuss, you can make up your own mind. By the way, let the people from [Dark Night] step up their investigation and give me an answer as soon as possible about the matter in Korede Village."
"Additional manpower has been deployed. Although the illusion has been dispelled, the things inside are a bit complicated. My people were attacked during the investigation and several men were lost. It seems that the matter behind it is more serious than we imagined. a lot of."
James' answer made the queen's expression become serious.
"Then investigate carefully! Send all the experts out. If necessary, go there in person, but remember, take safety measures and don't put yourself in danger."
James smiled confidently and said: "Don't worry about this. There are not many people in the Lionheart Kingdom who can threaten me. Unless Ms. Zola takes action, no one can keep me if I want to escape."
The Queen thought about it. James not only had a confusing personality, but also had the strength to be at the top of the kingdom.
Unless a large army is sent to encircle and suppress him, no one at the same level will be able to keep him if he escapes.
"By the way, how are you doing with the children I asked you to send away?"
"I have sent the girl away as you asked. But for the two younger ones, considering the long journey, I privately arranged another place for them to go."
"Oh? Sent to where?"
"Northern Territory."
"Northern Territory? Villiers' territory?"
"No, to be precise, I gave the person to Villiers."
"What!"
