I am the queen of the Kingdom of Edvira, but I am an unqualified queen. The Rom sisters gained great power because I gave them that power, and I did not work hard to fight for it...

Queen...

Noelle still doesn't quite understand what a queen is, but she is fighting hard for her, even though... even though she doesn't dare to tell him the truth. The day she learned the truth, Noelle was so happy, but at the same time, she fell into deep fear.

But now, that fear was not calmed by her success in possessing him, but became even stronger. She was even more afraid of his leaving and wanted to keep him by her side by any means necessary.

Biting her finger, the pain made Noelle's eyes become even colder. She couldn't let him be taken away by others. She couldn't let the Rom sisters go like this anymore!

She thought that as long as he was by her side, she would not care about anything else. However, Noelle discovered one thing: as an unqualified queen, she was not even qualified enough for him to be by her side wholeheartedly!

I don't even have the strength to protect him, so I can only restrain him with despicable means...

Can't...

Absolutely not...

"It belongs to me, everything belongs to me, all... all... all..."

Click, click, click....

The nails he had worked so hard to trim for her were bitten, and Noelle put her hand down.

"Take them all back, including the promise!"

Chapter 118 Want to Become a Queen

"Norel!"

As soon as I walked over, I saw Noelle squatting behind the door and biting her nails.

"Why are you here?"

I noticed that she was not wearing shoes and quickly picked her up from the ground. Noelle raised her head and looked at me. I saw that frosty feeling again. At that moment, I almost let go but didn't dare to.

"Elolinwei, please go down first."

"Yes..."

Ai Luolinwei was probably frightened by Noelle's cold tone. She answered timidly and left.

I swallowed. I didn't know if she had heard what I had just said. I didn't say anything strange, and I made it clear that I would never betray Norelle. She shouldn't be angry...

"Let's go back"

"Um"

I carried Noelle back. She didn't say a word along the way, but just kept biting her nails. She was about to bite the flesh but she didn't stop.

I was very scared. I didn't know what happened to her suddenly, but I was very scared. I was scared of Noelle like this.

When we got back to the room, I put her on the bed and asked her to sit down. Then I ran to the other side to get a wet towel and wiped her dirty little feet.

"brother"

She suddenly called my name softly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you, nor did I want to... I just wanted to... I just..."

"Thank you, brother."

"I...eh?"

Noelle reached out her hands, held my face, and looked at me lovingly: "I know that brother did that to protect me, so thank you."

"Norel?"

"Even if it's for a brother like this, I have made up my mind. I want to become a qualified queen. I don't want my brother to be threatened anymore, and I don't want him to make such a promise for me anymore."

"Did you hear everything?"

"Um"

She nodded gently, put down her hands and stared at me. I was so stupid. She must have heard those words. If she didn't hear those words, why would she show such an abnormal expression.

"I want to be a qualified queen, brother, please always be by my side to help me, help me become a qualified queen, I want to protect you."

"Well, you want to protect me, and I want to protect you, although..."

I understand why I am protecting her. I have to admit that I have begun to accept everything now and I am willing to do these things.

"Don't worry, she will definitely see her father. I promise you."

"Um"

My mood is complicated, really complicated. I am willing to believe in the promise that Noelle made to me.

"It's all because of my brother that I'm being held back."

"I'm your secretary and a member of the Kingdom of Edvira. Although you're not a qualified queen, I'm definitely not a qualified secretary either. I don't have any special feelings for the Kingdom of Edvira. I even hate this place. But if I don't work hard to improve this country, I won't be able to protect my future and my... children..."

I felt sick after saying this. That's right, I'm not the kind of person who wants to save this country for everyone. I don't have any feelings for this country at all. I'm helping the Kingdom of Edvira for myself, at least for my own selfish and humble thoughts.

In my previous life, I tried my best to save a world. Although I was betrayed, I have no regrets. I have to admit that compared to the Kingdom of Edvira, I might like the world that deceived me more.

"I will take it back, whether it's power or the future, I will take it back. I will protect my brother. Just give me your promise. Everything... I will take it back."

Yes, you are such a person. You will change because of me. This is your biggest weakness. So much so that the Lom sisters think that controlling me can control you...

Noelle...

I really hope you can become a qualified queen...

Chapter 119 The Law Does Not Punish the Heart

"This is a record of people entering and leaving the capital during this period. Generally, people coming to the Kingdom of Edvira register first. I've checked the registration information and haven't found any useful clues. The biggest problem is..."

"If these people were dressed as civilians or something, even if you wanted to find them, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack."

I felt a headache looking at all the documents Lenora brought over. The person who assassinated Noelle has not been found yet, and the safety of Noelle and me is still threatened. During this period, Lenora gave the task of guarding the royal city to Zhutourou and stayed by Noelle's side to protect her.

As a secretary, I also have to find a breakthrough as soon as possible.

"This could only have been done by someone who was against Her Majesty the Queen."

"That's nonsense, isn't it? I have no objection to you, so why would I kill you? But there are so many people who oppose Norelle, and it's not so easy to find one of them now. I have ruled out the Rom sisters. The most likely person is Prince Devia, but we have no evidence to accuse Prince Devia of this."

"Doesn't the law punish the heart?"

Lenora's temper has finally softened a little recently, probably much better than before, except that the look in her eyes when she looks at me is still cold and disgusted.

The law does not punish the heart. Even if it is really Prince Devia, I have to find evidence to prove this. The old guy is now doing what he should do as before, without any abnormality. However, the absence of abnormality is the biggest abnormality.

I killed his son, but he has been uncharacteristically quiet recently. I don't think he is the type of person who would stay quiet.

This old guy must be up to something, but as the saying goes, the law does not punish the heart. Even if I suspect him, I can't take action before I find actual evidence.

"With Her Majesty the Queen's authority, even killing Prince Devia would be a piece of cake. Why are you unwilling to do that?"

"Norel is not a true queen yet. Wait until she becomes the queen I recognize, then we can talk about this matter. Besides..."

My purpose is very simple. Although I also want to use my authority to kill Prince Devia to prevent future troubles, doing so will not benefit me at all. I lack reputation and power now. Killing Prince Devia like that will definitely cause hostility from others. Our situation is already not good, and we can't do things that will leave us a way out. If Devia really made an attempted assassination of the queen and found evidence, it would be natural for me to kill him, and other people would naturally have no objections. If I use my authority, it will only make the situation of Noelle and me worse.

"Lenora, please check these people again."

"so many people?"

I found some unfamiliar people. They were all visiting the Kingdom of Edvira for the first time. There were only a few hundred of them. If we needed to check them again, we could do it quickly.

I rubbed my forehead. There are still many things to do next, so I have to hurry.

"Where's Noelle?"

"Her Majesty the Queen is in the library today"

Eloline, who was waiting on the side, answered.

"In the library?"

Noelle said she wanted to be a qualified queen. Maybe she is trying in her own way. I just need to do my job as a secretary well.

"Her Majesty seems to be reading the stories of past queens"

"Looking at that..."

The Kingdom of Edvira will record the career of each generation of queens and pass it down as a kind of data. Since she is reading that, I support it.

There is only one queen whose life has not yet been recorded in the book: my mother, Queen Meryl.

"Elolinwei, please pass this letter... and these things to Edith."

"Yes"

I leaned back in the chair. This damn skirt was so cold when the wind blew...

Chapter 120 Edith's Praise

"Lady Edith, this is a letter from the Royal City."

"Wangcheng, let it go."

"Yes"

The maid put down the letter and left. Edith tidied up the table filled with various documents and opened the envelope.

Nadia came over with a curious look on her face, but Edith didn't let Nadia read the letter. Nadia puffed up her face a little dissatisfied but didn't say anything. She retreated to the side and sat down obediently, waiting for her sister to tell her.

Later, Edith put down the letter and picked up the other things that came with it.

"Nadia, prepare your scouts."

"Ah? Why, sister?"

"This is Nuo Xiu asking us for help. He has drawn up a list and wants us to help investigate it. Your scouts have just finished their work on enemy intelligence, so now is the time to let them take a break. Let them do this job."

Nadia smiled bitterly and nodded. This was not a break, it was clearly another round of overtime.

"The scope is within the capital. We will investigate these people as thoroughly as possible. Also..."

"It should be the previous incident. I didn't expect that guy to ask us for help. How incompetent!"

"No matter how capable someone is, even if I'm your sister, I might not be able to find the clues so quickly. This matter needs to be done step by step."

"Are you still looking for clues? It was clearly that old man Devia who did it. Why not just arrest him? With the Queen's authority, arresting Prince Devia is easy."

Edith shook her head helplessly. When would her sister finally come to her senses? Although she was very capable and obedient, and her occasional cleverness was worthy of praise, her view on things was very short-sighted. This was Nadia's biggest problem.

It was obvious that their cooperation with me in the court meeting was seamless, but once we came down, it was different.

"Nadia, do you know what it means to not punish the heart?"

"But no matter how you think about it, the criminal is Prince Devia. The old man has been unusually well-behaved recently, doing nothing, even sitting quietly at court meetings. Even though his son was killed, he didn't get angry at all. No matter how you think about it, there must be something wrong with him."

"Hehe, but you can't find any evidence against him."

"Evidence or something, wouldn't it be faster to just eliminate that old guy?"

Edith shook her head. "Noxu is very smart. If he really used his authority to kill Prince Devia, the royal family would be in danger. Who would continue to help Noelle and him? And this would also cause a lot of people to be disgusted. If things get serious, they will be completely isolated and helpless. The consequence is that they will be eaten by us sisters. Do you think that Noxu would do such a thing? This is what I am very interested in Noxu. Although he is weird, the way he thinks about things is indeed a little different."

"Sister...you are not interested in that Noxu, are you? Noxu is just a substitute for that Zach after all."

"Haha, I'm at least interested, but I'm not crazy about it. Okay, if you keep asking questions like this, I'm going to hit you. Hurry and take these lists to your scouts."

Nadia pouted and took the list Edith handed her. After glancing at it, she asked, "So many?"

"It's not that much. These should be streamlined. Go quickly."

"Oh"

Nadia ran away with a clatter.

Edith sighed: "What a pity, a guy like that doesn't belong to me, so he can only become a toy, not a person who belongs to me, hehe."

Only in this way is it worth being played with by her.

Chapter 121 Noxiu's Advice

Creak~

I pushed open the door of the library and saw her figure from afar.

I walked forward.

"Huh...huh..."

Sighing helplessly, I took off my coat and put it on her, and actually fell asleep while reading.

I took a look at the books on the table, six or seven of them, each with a bookmark or even a note. It seemed that these were all books that had been read. This guy was working hard in his own way.
