Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 234 Thanks

"Are you letting it down?" Lenara slowly lowered her head, and her face disappeared into the shadow of the candlelight, making it difficult to see.

On the other side, Lucia still maintained her previous humble and courteous posture, quietly focusing her gaze on the ground in front of the throne, so as not to cause the queen to feel unnecessary pressure.

From the moment Lenora asked him to choose between Lani and Malenia, he had already foreseen the entire direction of this meeting - although they were both queens who ruled over the people, this full moon queen and Marlenia The Everqueen is completely different.

Compared to Malika's deep and terrifying strategy and ambition to annex all things, Lenara is as simple as a blank slate in terms of scheming. Thirteen years have passed since Radagan's betrayal, but she is not only Instead of getting out of grief, he sank deeper and deeper into it, gradually entering madness.

So as Lenara herself said, she would never force Lucia to give up Malenia. On the contrary, she would use this matter to test Lucia's character to see if he could withstand her pressure and stick to his true intentions. .

But for Lucia, successfully passing the Queen's "soul torture" was just the most insignificant part of the meeting.

Since Lenara is far from falling into the complete madness of her previous life, where she was obsessed with making offspring with the big runes given by Radagon all day long, then why not try to give her a hand?

Thinking from a distance, during the brief contact with the March God three years ago, they had entrusted him to take care of the Kaliya Dynasty as the last inheritance of the moon. From a closer perspective, the relationship between Lani and others was not enough. It was impossible for him to turn a blind eye to Queen Lenora's condition in front of him.

Finally, it was due to the consideration of the actual situation. Although he had not figured out the trump card in the hands of the academy, from his current height, he could already clearly see the turbulent undercurrent of the current situation.

No matter where this magic conference will go next under the guidance of careerists, Kallia and the entire remaining star and moon system behind it will definitely become the core of this storm.

During this sensitive period, rather than allowing Lenara to continue to go crazy, a Full Moon Queen who could maintain her sanity would at least be enough to ensure that Calia remained intact in the storm.

So he quietly launched the battlefield of memory, and silently penetrated the influence of mental power from illusion into reality.

Lenara thought a lot during this long silence.

When she heard the word "let down" from Lucia's mouth, the first thing she thought of was not the three children who had left home, nor the Kaliya dynasty, which had become increasingly chaotic after losing its queen, but the man who had remained silent for decades. The knight who guarded her silently.

He is the first Calian knight. He is not only the strongest knight, but also the only knight who does not belong to the Calian royal family and the "Queen of the Full Moon", but belongs to "Rena La" alone.

In the days when the late King of Caria and her mother, Queen Celia, were in power, when she was a young girl who had just dabbled in the field of magic, and when he was still a fledgling knight's apprentice, Mulgram was already like the shadow cast by the full moon. , silently waiting by Lenara's side.

Lucia was able to face her pressure and declare his feelings for Lance, Lani, and Marlenia without hesitation. But what about himself?

Can she really explain how much she cares about her knight?

"I don't know. I don't know."

Lenara murmured indistinctly. She held her head in distress, and her clear pupils were once again filled with chaotic confusion and pain.

"I thought you would always be with me. No matter what I did or what I did wrong, you would never leave me, right?"

She pressed her temples hard, and scenes of memories flashed through her mind like fine sand.

There was Mugram who knelt down on one knee and accepted the knighthood ceremony as she tapped his shoulders with her sword.

There was the scene where she was giving full play to her talents on the podium of Rhea Lucalia, delivering a lecture on the latest discoveries in the field of magic, while he was in the audience with sincere and excited eyes and applause;

Seventeen years ago, on the eve of the final battle between Kaliya and the Golden Tree, he silently held the hilt of his sword and wandered in front of her mage tower with a dark expression. But he did not knock on the door after all, and she clearly knew He saw everything, but subconsciously chose to escape.

The next day, the huge waves on Lake Lienia seemed to cover the entire world.

Mugram was brought back by Morelet who turned into a giant dragon. Radagon's long sword penetrated his entire right chest. Through the bloody wound, she could even see the bright red beating heart. .

But she only stayed with him for a short three hours. After confirming that the injury was not enough to take his life, she rushed to the Golden Army Camp outside the city overnight to check on Radagan's condition. The Carians would not question the full moon guarding the sky above her head. She made her own choice, and everyone acquiesced to it.

Perhaps as the bards sang, the knight protected the princess throughout her life, and the prince was the princess's destined lover.

But even if the princess betrays the knight and the prince betrays the princess, the knight still foolishly guards the princess, like a rock that never questions or refutes.

"Why. Why do you never ask why?" Lenara said softly.

He has proven that he really will not leave her, no matter what she has done or what wrong she has done, until the end of each other's lives.

The memory like a sand painting was blown by the wind and turned into flat sand again. However, the rocks on the lakeside were blown by wind and rain and would not change at all even after a hundred years.

If awakening and sinking were just a thought, would she really allow herself to continue sinking?

"Maybe I was wrong from the beginning?"

After a long time, she whispered.

The Queen of the Full Moon breathed a sigh of relief, and her clear eyes fell on Lucia. She smiled slightly and said: "You have very good mental interference skills. I think it won't be long before you can condense your own magic field."

Lucia quietly dissipated the mental influence projected by the battlefield of memory, bowed and apologized: "It was a presumptuous move, and I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

"For the sake of helping me untie a lot of knots in my heart," the Queen said with a smile on her lips, "It's just this once, it won't happen next time."

"Yes."

What the two of them tacitly understood was that although Lucia's mental power was strong enough, the so-called interference could be effective on the Full Moon Queen, the world's number one magician, and it was not the result of the queen herself trying to get out of the predicament.

The real interference starts from the beginning of this dialogue.

"Lucia," the Queen said, this time not calling him by his full name.

"You have indeed seen my affairs clearly enough - but are your own affairs also being confused by the authorities?"

Lucia was slightly startled, "Your Majesty means"

"That child is no longer the little girl you think she is. Even if she has never seen the outside world, she will not be as naive as you think," the Queen said with a smile, "One thousand six hundred and eighty-one meters - Now that my perception has enveloped the entire Star-Moon City again, I can naturally feel her condition."

"Believe me, if it weren't for the persistence in her heart, she would have been unable to withstand the corruption curse a year ago with that seal alone. So, I think you should know how to go in the future."

Lucia's heart trembled, and she nodded solemnly: "I understand."

"Well, it was a very pleasant meeting." The queen concluded, "As the queen of Kallia and the mother of Lani, I should give you a meeting gift commensurate with your status."

"I have no right to decide on the two gifts that belong to Lani, but I can give you this -" She flipped her wrist gently and raised her empty hand, and suddenly dozens of streams of light swept out from her side and flew towards In front of Lucia, it condensed into the shape of a key.

"Lani will know what the key is when she sees it. Let her take you there. This is Kaliya's thank you gift to you."
