"Uh..." Zola was about to speak, but the Queen and Yulia turned their heads together and stopped her with fierce eyes.
Yulia even rushed towards Zola from the queen's side, trying to pull her away.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, this is your family matter, I will take the outsider away right now."
Yulia bit down hard on the word "outsider", pulled Zola who was lying on the vine, covered her mouth, and walked towards the next room.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, little Yuli, let me go, I want to watch a show, I want... uh uh uh!!!"
Yulia was so cruel that she didn't care that the teacher in front of her was her. She covered Zola's mouth, dragged Zola to the next room with brute force, and closed the door tightly.
It wasn't that Zola couldn't break free from Yulia's restraints, it was just that she thought it was fun and played with them.
Although she is simple-minded, she is not stupid. Knowing what happened next required Elizabeth to explain herself.
Whether she lies or tells the truth, it is Elizabeth's decision.
As outsiders, they cannot intervene.
"Huh?"
Zola, who originally wanted to have some more fun with her apprentice, was surprised by what she saw before her. She pulled Yulia's hand away and stood up from her restraints.
"Teacher, don't make trouble."
"Shh, little Yuli, look there."
As he said that, fearing that Yulia would not believe him, Zola pinched Yulia's chin with her right hand and turned her face to the bed in the room.
"Ah...uhhhh!"
This time, it was Yulia who had her mouth covered.
"Shh, don't scream. It's such an interesting thing. Let me study it before I talk about it. Don't disturb Elizabeth."
Zola dragged Yulia, whose mouth was covered, to the bedside. Regardless of her struggle, she summoned an arm-thick vine from the wooden floor and tied Yulia tightly.
Even the mouth was blocked by the fruits growing on the vines.
Helpless, Yulia bit the fruit hard and angrily sucked the juice from the fruit with her teeth.
Huh? The smell of nostalgia is the same as when she was punished by the teacher when she was lazy when she was a child.
Yulia recalled in a daze that when she was young, when she was lazy and didn't do her homework, she was tied up and punished by her teacher like this.
But later Yulia found out that this was all an excuse for the teacher to sneak out and play.
She was afraid that she would go crazy and forget about Yulia and starve Yulia, so she prepared fruits for Yulia.
As long as Yulia moves her mouth, she can actually eat the fruit and call for help.
But at that time, Yulia thought it was the teacher's punishment, and she never dared to eat the fruit secretly. But her mouth was numb, so she bit the fruit subconsciously, and then she fell in love with this behavior of secretly drinking the fruit.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, she would experience this kind of "happiness" again!
Alas, she didn't dare to disturb the teacher when he was in a mood.
So, she stood there honestly, biting open the fruit, drinking the juice, and watching Zola's actions.
In the next room, Elizabeth held down the excited Nok and sighed.
"Well, now that you have discovered it, I won't hide it anymore. However, I hope that what I said today can only be kept in your heart and cannot be mentioned to outsiders. No one can do it, because it is related to your and my safety. .”
The Queen's solemnity made Nok feel nervous like never before.
The Queen sat on the edge of the bed, held Nok's hand, and said slowly: "Yes, you are indeed a member of our Rose Family. I have always known of your existence."
"However, due to the turbulent situation at the beginning. When I first ascended the throne, the nobles at home who were dissatisfied with me were ready to take action. Foreign countries that coveted the Lion Heart Kingdom were also eyeing it."
"Many people don't want me to take charge. I face more assassinations every day than I eat and drink.
In this case, no one wants to involve you in danger.
Therefore, placing you in a monastery is your mother's last resort. "
"If this is the case, after I secure the throne, I should ask your mother's servants to take you back to the palace to raise you.
But the reality is not that simple.
As the person who replaced my sister on the throne, I have not been recognized by the Holy Church at all. If the church does not recognize me, I am not the legal heir! "
The queen cried with pain: "What can I do? My country needs me, my people need me, and I must legitimize my throne!"
"As a last resort, I can only cooperate with the Natural Church and choose it to become the state religion of the Lionheart Kingdom. The Natural Church will recognize the legitimacy of my throne!"
"Because of my actions, the entire Qiangwei family has become a thorn in the side of the Holy Church!
Anyone named Tudor is a traitor in the eyes of the Holy Church!
Faced with such a situation, how dare we expose your royal identity! "
"In order to protect your identity from being discovered, I can only completely drive the Holy Church out of the Lion Heart Kingdom. Even for this, I allowed the Natural Church to take the opportunity to grow and become a force that can threaten the stability of the kingdom.
Naturally, when the church becomes powerful, it naturally wants to take the opportunity to control the political power of the kingdom. "
“But I don’t want the kingdom to follow the old path of turning the natural church into another holy church!
I want the kingdom to be strong, for my people to stand tall, and for the Imperials across the coast to be equal!
I want to leave a strong country and royal dignity to my descendants! "
The Queen took a breath and continued.
"In order to monitor me, the Church of Nature sent people to me in the name of cooperation, euphemistically called: guards.
They even reached out to the homes of servants in the palace and nobles.
They want to make me into a puppet queen!
Become their tool to control government affairs! "
The Queen sneered: "Countless people and nobles are immersed in the dreams spun by the Church of Nature, selling their souls to the Church of Nature, completely forgetting their obligations and responsibilities as citizens of the Lion Heart Kingdom!"
"In this case, not only do we not dare to publicly acknowledge your identity, but also take you back to the palace?
We even dare not reveal your existence, let alone visit you! "
Suddenly, the queen's expression became angry.
"But that's it. Not long ago, the Natural Church still noticed the clues and forced me to contact you.
They feel that I can no longer be controlled by them. They want to control you while you are young, make you my successor, and then become a puppet in their hands, replacing me as their tool to control the kingdom! "
"What can I do? I can only deny it and say that my nephew, the king of the Unicorn Kingdom, is my legal heir!
Only in this way will the natural church not harm me, nor can it harm you. Otherwise, my nephew will become the king of the Lionheart Kingdom.
How could a king sitting on two thrones be controlled by them? Even if the Church of Nature is willing, the nobles of the Unicorn Kingdom are not willing! "
The Queen grabbed Nok's hand tightly and shouted aggrievedly: "Not recognizing you and not recognizing your identity are all measures we have taken to protect you!"
"Even now, you can see that the kingdom is in a state of uncertainty. Bizarre events are happening one after another, and countless forces are hiding in the darkness of the capital, waiting for opportunities."
"In addition to the holy war contract you made not long ago, everyone is now eyeing you. Even the Holy Church has people who want to get rid of you."
"Because no one wants to start a holy war!"
"The natural church doesn't want it, and the holy church doesn't want it even more!"
“No one would die for the offspring of an enemy who opposed himself.”
"So what you have to do now is not to restore your royal identity, but to shed your ecclesiastical identity."
"Only if you break away from the Holy Church will the jihad contract on you be invalidated."
"Doing so may offend the Holy Church, but you are the future crown prince of the Lionheart Kingdom!"
"As long as I give you time, under my protection and guidance, when your wings are full, you can become the most promising king of the Lion Heart Kingdom, lead the army I have prepared for you, conquer the continent, and conquer the world!"
"Let the Lion Heart Kingdom become the eternal empire of the world!"
"Therefore, the injustice you are suffering now is just a stepping stone on the road of your life. You don't need to care about it or care about it."
"As your elder and relative, I will not harm you."
The Queen talked eloquently, and when she talked about her excitement, her voice was loud and exciting, as if she was on a podium, speaking to the audience.
Zora, who was studying Sig on the bed next door, silently activated the elf magic and placed a silent barrier around the house, while speaking to Yulia who was eating melon.
"I mean, little Yuri, is it really okay for Elizabeth to say this? Has she forgotten where she is now? Also, should we silence this kid?"
This kid is not referring to the frowning Nok next door.
But it was the extremely weak Sig Holmes who was held in Zola's hands.
Yes, it's dawn.
Sig transformed from the monster [The Ripper] back into the human Baron Sig Holmes.
Zola did not recognize Sig, but Yulia recognized Sig at a glance.
No way, it's too familiar.
The information about every member of the Dragon Knight is in Yulia's mind.
Not to mention that some time ago, Yulia paid special attention to Sig because of Sherlock.
"Okay, teacher, don't scare him. As a dragon knight, he belongs to His Majesty. Even if he knows some secrets, I believe he will not reveal a word."
"The important thing now is, don't you want to know the secret of his transformation and what happened to him last night?"
When Zola heard this, she stared at Sig whose mouth was sealed by her with bright eyes.
"Hehe, if you say that, I won't feel bored anymore."
"Boy, sister, let me let you go. Don't yell. Answer sister's questions obediently. If sister is happy, I can't tell you. Please use some effort to restore your hands and feet."
"But if you don't give me face, don't blame my sister. I'll beat you up, then strip you of the dragon-beast contract, and then destroy your house."
"I heard that you have a son. My sister arrested him and beat him three times a day, one meal a day. Are you afraid?"
Zola's words made Sig, who had been thinking about how to escape after waking up, become irritable.
If he hadn't been tied up with vines all over his body now, he would have jumped up and opened his mouth to bite Zola a few times!
