Chapter 91 The Queen's Sword (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader "Green Lamp Drunk in the Human World")

The witch and the lords departed.

Godariel also boarded the pumpkin carriage with her teacher Bettina and returned to the Magic Forest to continue her magical studies.

According to the Forest Fairy, a "Nature Witch" would need several years of arduous training to become a fully-fledged "graduated" before she could stand on her own.

Fortunately, Godariel is exceptionally talented, which will shorten this time considerably.

Godariel's visit this time, though she didn't do anything, improved her mood. After all, it had been several months since she last saw Kai.

I treated it as a chance to get away and relax, to relieve some tension. My motivation to become stronger only grew stronger.

Because Kai seems to be growing rapidly, if I can't keep up with him, then I won't even be qualified to walk alongside him, let alone protect him.

Godaril didn't want to be a burden anymore.

A smile appeared on Wang Xi's face as he watched the pumpkin carriage gradually disappear into the distance.

'The future trajectory in the preview has once again been altered by my own hands.'

He secretly thought.

'The fire in the capital didn't happen, Godariel didn't die because of me, the witches are all safe and sound... Most importantly, I've established a close relationship with Queen Sienna, making it easier to seek help from the Snow Queen.'

Wang Xi couldn't help but think of the main world again.

In the third round of practical assessment, the encounter upon entering the maze numbered Spade 2, "Sugar Witch"...

The once vibrant Magic Forest has turned into a dark and gloomy Black Forest. The Sugar Mushroom Girls have transformed into massive Giant Mushroom Men, and even the goblins of the Guru Tribe have either died or turned to the dark side.

Even the goblin girl Glusa, who became a witch, was corrupted into a cruel and bloodthirsty demon king.

Wang Xi always felt that the scene inside that maze was like a fragment of a future fairy tale world.

A scene from a time when the character has completely turned to the dark side.

I had to describe this feeling in detail.

'As if in another timeline where Kai Farrell didn't exist, the Magic Forest was ultimately destroyed by some force... Perhaps, the Stag Kingdom, and even the entire fairytale world, were not spared.'

Wang Xi felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

"Lord Gai, Her Majesty the Queen requests your presence."

Just then, a guard cautiously stepped forward and interrupted his thoughts.

"Okay." Wang Xi snapped out of her reverie and nodded, "I understand."

He then strode through the portico and into the tower lobby.

The three sorcerers he had left in the corner had vanished without a trace. It was unclear whether they had run away on their own after waking up, or had been carried away.

Under several large gilded chandeliers.

Two queens with very different temperaments stood quietly on the red carpet in the center of the hall.

One resembles a peony, the other a snow lotus.

As Wang Xi approached, Xiana spoke first:
"Mr. Kai, thank you so much for tonight."

She let out a long sigh, a relieved smile appearing on her face, and then said:
"From now on, I will no longer have to live in fear, nor will I be controlled and used by Calvin... With your help, the Stag Kingdom has formed an alliance with the Magic Forest, exchanging goods and living in peace."

"And this is all thanks to you."

"Your Majesty, there's no need for you to be so polite."

Wang Xi shook his head.

"I was just doing what a human being should do. How innocent it would be if Calvin really started a war on both sides."

"Of course, I also do not want to see such a benevolent ruler as His Majesty being kept in the dark by a mere swindler."

Siana's beautiful eyes sparkled.

The young man's words were sincere, and she was deeply moved.

The Queen remained silent for a few seconds.

As if making up his mind, he spoke:

“Mr. Gai… I would like to invite you to serve as the chief wizard of the court, and also bestow upon you the title of a prince without a crown, and grant you the title of ‘Queen’s Sword’.”

"It's time to put an end to the unfounded rumors circulating among the public about the 'Scarlet Witch' being a bloodthirsty, brain-eating monster."

As she spoke, Xiana looked up at her.

A hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

Wang Xi was startled upon hearing this.

Isn't this exactly the treatment Calvin received back then?

No.

Aside from not being able to marry, sleep with, or have children with the Queen, she was treated even better than Calvin!
Soon, Wang Xi figured out the reason.

Now that Calvin is dead, the warlock and swordsman orders that had sided with him have also suffered heavy losses, with one of their leaders killed and the other wounded.

It's hard to say what will happen to the old sorcerer Bertrand, but he certainly won't have a good ending.

The Queen found herself in an awkward situation where she had no one to rely on.

At this critical moment, if Wang Xi can stand up for the Queen, she will have enough confidence to take action against the powerful ministers who previously sided with Calvin...

Again.

With her sister Isabella completely neglecting the kingdom, the only person Xiana could trust was Wang Xi.

"Since Your Majesty trusts me, I will naturally not refuse this kindness."

Wang Xi chuckled softly and bowed to the Queen.

"It's an honor for me too."

"very good!"

Siana couldn't hide her excitement, her little hands clenched into fists.

Although she is a queen, she is still too young, about the same age as Kai, just over twenty.

Compared to Calvin, that crude and sleazy old man, she was much more attracted to the elegant and handsome young man with black hair.

One is her father's killer who uses technology as leverage and lies to deceive her; the other is a brave and upright young knight who is willing to risk his life to save her and Daphne.

Even a fool knows which option to choose.

She was very happy to have his support.

At this moment, Wang Xi's expression turned serious.

He then turned and bowed to the Snow Queen, placing his hand on her chest.

"Your Majesty Isabella." "..."

Upon hearing the call, the woman, who seemed detached from worldly affairs, turned her head slightly and looked at the young man with a calm expression.

Her perfectly refined face, coupled with her aloof and otherworldly demeanor, momentarily stunned Wang Xi. Fortunately, he quickly used his "Divine Second" to regain his composure.

“I have heard that you know how to break the ‘Curse of Ice Heart’.”

Wang Xi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"And I... am a 'pure-hearted person,' and I humbly beg Your Majesty to lend a helping hand."

Isabella remained unmoved by his explanation. However, Siana, standing to the side, looked surprised, her mouth slightly agape.

Is Mr. Gai a "Bing Xin person"?!

Isn't he about to die...?

This is not possible!

She quickly turned around and walked to the Ice Queen's side.

"Sister Isabella, can you help him?"

"..."

The Snow Queen glanced at her sister.

She lowered her eyes and said softly:
"I can't solve it."

This was the first time Isabella had spoken.

Her voice was beautiful, like sandalwood wrapped in velvet, warm and delicate.

"But……"

Xiana frowned slightly and hesitated before saying:
"Sister, aren't you too?"

"He can't use my method."

Isabella shook her head and said decisively:

"will die."

"Your Majesty, may I give it a try?"

Wang Xi's eyes were resolute.

Isabella's calm gaze scrutinized him, and after a few seconds, she slowly said:

"You have eight months left. Instead of committing suicide, make the most of these last moments."

"Living a miserable life is not my motto."

Wang Xi smiled and shook his head.

He bowed again and said solemnly:
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up easily... So Your Majesty, please let me try!"

This was his third request.

Siana's expression was complex; she had seen another side of the young man. His unwavering determination and willingness to face death moved her deeply.

After a few seconds of silence, Isabella spoke softly:
"In that case, after you help Xiana clear the obstacles, come find me in the snow mountain."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

A look of delight flashed in Wang Xi's eyes, and he quickly agreed.

...

...

Two weeks later.

During this period, Queen Siana changed her previous indecisive and submissive behavior and began to take decisive action to purge the court nobles.

At first, the ministers and nobles did not take it seriously.

Calvin's death shocked them, but it didn't shake their foundations. At worst, they could just push someone else to the forefront to lead this technological reform again.

Over the past two years, almost all the major powers in the capital have been tied to the "technological reform" chariot, their interests intertwined and inseparable. Like an unstoppable torrent, their momentum is unstoppable.

What does a mere twenty-something-year-old queen know, and what can she do? She should just lie comfortably on her throne and be a mascot.

However, after the Minister of Crafts, Ando, ​​the Mint Official, Dick, the Head of the Court Sorcerers, Bertrand, and others were led to the gallows and publicly executed in the central square of Daphne...

The atmosphere in the entire palace changed.

The atmosphere became tense and anxious.

And the Queen seems to have changed.

They became emboldened and fearless.

Of course, the powerful and wealthy didn't believe in such superstitions, thinking that the Ice Queen far away in the snowy mountains would never interfere in the affairs of the kingdom, and that Her Majesty Siana was just bluffing.

Then, a boy named Pinocchio appeared. Dressed in magnificent gold-trimmed armor, he made his debut as the "Chief Knight of the Court," leading hundreds of armored mechs to take over the court's council chamber.

Then a young man named Gai, dressed in a black silk robe, took Calvin's place and stood with his hands behind his back beside the throne.

Queen Siana called him "Prince Gai," appointed him as "Chief Wizard of the Court," and bestowed upon him the title "Queen's Sword."

In an instant, the powerful and wealthy were in an uproar!
Even more shockingly, Queen Siana loudly announced that the Kingdom of the Deer had formed an alliance with the Magic Forest to slow down technological reforms.

This instantly triggered a strong reaction from many powerful figures, who trembled with rage, hurling insults and provoking a scene on the spot…

He was shot through the forehead by Prince Kai's "Red Lightning" and died instantly.

Blood and brains were splattered on the wool carpet of the council chamber, a stark and jarring sight. Instantly, it was as if an invisible hand had gripped their throats, and they dared not utter another word of disrespect.

Queen Sirina has successfully regained control of the narrative.

Completely control of the palace.

July 1, 955 (Astral Calendar).

On the day Queen Siana and Prince Calvin were to be married, the messenger led his men to tear down every wedding notice in the capital, Daphne.

The announcement of Calvin's death was replaced with a new one.

This man abused his power for personal gain and openly rebelled; he was killed on the spot by Prince Gai Farrell, the "Queen's Sword".

For a time, the entire city of Daphne was shocked.

And at the same time.

Prince Kai, the central figure in the discussion, has already embarked on his journey to the snow-capped mountains alone...
