At dawn, Archduke James changed his clothes in the palace, took his bodyguard with him, and left the palace happily.
After half a day, the entire aristocratic circle knew.
Because Archduke James's "back garden" was bombed and more than a hundred private soldiers were lost as a result, the Queen, in order to appease him, approved him to transfer a fund from the treasury to recruit private soldiers again.
One hundred private troops! How can it be!
Who doesn't know that James has only fifty guards at his side all day long?
Now that the queen has approved recruitment funds for a hundred people, the Grand Duke will definitely line his own pockets according to the highest budget.
No wonder he was so happy when he was unlucky. If it were them, the nobles would be happy too.
Windfalls don't come all the time, but if you have money, you can recruit as many people as you want.
In this regard, while the nobles were envious and jealous, they also had their thoughts moved.
The grand duke recruited a private army, and there was no way they could arrange for a few second sons who could not inherit the family business to be gilded.
As for the danger? Haha, sons who cannot inherit the family business will be dangerous to their heirs when they grow up!
While the outside world was making a fuss, the queen in the palace secretly left the palace under the arrangement of Yulia.
In a courtyard at the end of Elk Street not far from the monastery, the Queen met the unconscious Nok and the monster Sig who had just escaped danger and saved his life.
"Zola, what's going on? Why did you take in a monster?"
The Queen did not know the identity of the monster in front of her, or in other words, except for the unconscious Nok, no one present knew that the monster in front of her was Sig Holmes.
"Oh, I just saw that it seemed to be injured because of this kid, and he had a familiar smell on him."
Elf Zola, who had changed into casual clothes, lay lazily in a tree vine and explained casually.
"Familiar smell? Do you know this monster?"
the queen asked curiously.
"I don't know him." Zola denied with certainty, "But I sensed the power of the dragon beast contract from his body."
"What!"
"This is impossible!"
At this time, both the queen and Yulia, who had been silent until now, were shocked and couldn't help but exclaimed.
The dragon-beast contract is the contract that the dragon knights concluded with the earth-walking dragon in order to be able to take the earth-walking dragon as a mount!
And the source of this contract comes from Zola in front of you!
Although Zola is not a Dragon Knight, he can be said to be the founder of the Dragon Knight!
Because it was she who passed on the dragon beast contract and the earth dragon cub to Yulia Kent!
"Teacher, are you kidding me! How can this monster have a dragon-beast contract? Apart from the dragon knight, you are the only one in the kingdom who can sign this contract!"
Yulia asked Zola anxiously, this is related to the safety of the dragon knight! If this monster really has a dragon beast contract, then there is probably a traitor among the dragon knights who leaked the dragon beast contract! This is her dereliction of duty!
"Okay, okay, little Yuri, this guy is probably one of your dragon knights. If it is a new contract, then there will definitely be a new earth dragon. But in the past ten years, I haven't heard of any Emerald Territory has a lost dragon hatchling.”
"There is a cursed power in this guy that disgusts me. It's not very strong, but it's disgusting. I tried to help expel it, but failed. I could only save his life with drops of life. If you have any questions, Just wait until it wakes up and ask it yourself."
"Or, maybe you can get the answer by asking the kid next to you who is pretending to be asleep."
Zola's words made the two of them turn their heads and look at Nok who was lying on the bed.
"Pretending to sleep? Nok, you are actually pretending to sleep!"
The queen was very angry. She had been here for almost an hour. She was secretly sad when she saw Nok unconscious at first, and then went to see the monster next door, which made such a big noise.
This kid woke up and actually kept pretending to sleep!
She didn't even think about whether her old man was worried or sad!
Therefore, the Queen strode forward in an aura, sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to pull Nok's ears.
"Ouch! It hurts! Stop it! It hurts so much!"
The pricked Nok sat up from the bed in pain and reached out to break the Queen's hand.
"Hmph! How dare you lie to me, how brave you are!"
Although the Queen was angry, she let go of Nok's ears.
Just because Nok's face was pale at this time and his voice sounded a little weak.
"What am I afraid of! I've fallen into the hands of you old witch again. I want to kill or chop him into pieces, it's up to you! But you have to let my friend go!"
Nok had been awake for a while. Although he didn't know where he was, he still knew that he and Sig were temporarily saved.
But the situation was not good, he had long recognized the Queen's voice.
Thinking of the fact that he was attacked and retaliated by the stingy queen outside the palace, he fell into her hands and his fate could be imagined.
But he couldn't let Sig be implicated because of him, let alone let Sig's true identity be exposed, otherwise it would be a disaster.
Sig is the murderer of Baker Street and the Ripper wanted by the police station!
If the Queen knew his identity, it would be unlucky not only for Sig, but also for the entire Sherlock Holmes and...
A figure lingering with him appeared in Nok's mind, and he couldn't help but shuddered.
No, I can't think about that woman.
To Nok, that woman was simply poison full of temptation.
Even though I know it's poisonous, I can't help but want to drink it!
The Queen didn't know that Nok was distracted by other things at this time. She was very angry when she heard Nok's all-inclusive attitude.
"You brat, you dare to scold me, what else can I do to you? Why do you stand up for others! You are just a prisoner of this Queen!"
The queen, who was stunned by Nok, couldn't help but said angry words.
Not to be outdone, Nok retorted: "Even if I become a prisoner, I still know that all kindness must be repaid!"
“The Lord teaches the world,
Every peck and every drink has a certain number.
The earth is generous and nourishes all things.
Autumn passes and winter comes, and everything dies.
Plants and trees nourish the earth with decaying leaves and branches, and creatures return to the soil with decaying bodies.
The earth gives life to all things, and all things give themselves back to the earth.
One life and one death are destiny's destiny to reincarnate.
It's cause and effect, it's a gift. "
看着神神叨叨的诺克，女王有一种想把他摁在床上暴揍，让他知道什么叫“来自长辈的疼爱”的冲动。
"Pfft!"
Zola, who was watching the show on the side, couldn't help laughing: "Elizabeth, is he really your descendant? Why do I feel that this kid is so rebellious that he is much more interesting than the priests I have seen before."
When the queen heard this, her face suddenly turned dark.
She didn't expect that Zola would actually tell her about her relationship with Nok.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have told her about it in the first place.
However, even if he wanted to hide it, if this person was interested, he couldn't hide it.
Others think she is withdrawn and aloof, but that's because she doesn't like to deal with people who have ill intentions towards her.
Elves are naturally sensitive to emotional changes.
Zola is actually just a social terror who is full of curiosity but fearful of the outside world.
Facing strangers, reject them thousands of miles away.
But facing familiar people, she can play tricks on you and give you a headache.
I didn’t see Yulia trying to minimize her presence in front of Zola.
That's because Zola called her "Little Yuli" as soon as she opened her mouth!
This title has been with Yulia for decades!
If things had been better when she was young, Yulia would be a grandmother now, and would be called "Little Yuli" by her.
He didn't consider Yulia's feelings at all.
You can imagine what it would be like to be walking in the palace, and in front of the palace guards and servants, Yulia was called "Little Yuri" by Zola who suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and you can know what it would be like for Yulia The pain was gone.
But Yulia didn’t dare to resist, because Zola was Yulia’s teacher!
To be precise, since Zola followed the orders of Queen Elizabeth's mother to take care of the young Elizabeth, she became the teacher of Elizabeth and Julia.
It's just that after Elizabeth became queen, in order to hide her relationship with Zola, she never called her teacher again.
For the sake of Elizabeth's dignity as queen, Zola was also asked to give up her habit of calling the queen "Little Eliza" and instead call the queen "Elizabeth."
As a Zola elf and her true age, no one would think it rude to call the Queen this way and make a fuss about this kind of thing.
The Queen declared to the outside world that Zola owed her a favor in the early years, so she served her, but she only protected her personal safety and did not participate in the state affairs of the kingdom.
Therefore, no one at the top of the kingdom who knew Zola's existence would interpret Zola's identity too much. Zola will not be easily offended either.
At this point, the Royal Knights proved Zora's danger with a group of silver-level playboy knights.
The words Zola blurted out shocked Nok, who had been generous and willing to sacrifice his own life.
The bloodless face was even more pale.
He looked at the queen in disbelief and asked tremblingly: "Is what she said true? I am your descendant? Tell me! This is not true!"
Nok shouted excitedly. He couldn't care less about how he was amazed by Zola's beauty when he saw her. His mind was filled with what Zola said.
He is actually a descendant of the royal family!
He is not an orphan!
His relatives actually lived "close at hand" in the palace!
But he has been abandoned in the monastery, living a life of food and clothing, but it is not a happy life!
Faced with Nok's loud questioning, the Queen was at a loss for words and didn't know how to explain the relationship between the two.
But at this moment, Nok shouted again: "Say! Speak quickly! Who are you! My grandmother? Grandmother? Or aunt? Who am I? An illegitimate child? Or an abandoned son that you don't want? !”
Nok's words directly shocked the three people who knew the truth.
Whether it was Queen Elizabeth, the maid Yulia who stepped forward to help explain, or the elf Zola who was worried about the world being in chaos, they were all shocked by Nok's brainstorming.
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing whether to tell the truth or not.
What if this kid can't bear the stimulation and suddenly burps?
