My queen always makes my survival more difficult

"Won't you take a break?"

Norelle shook her head and looked at me. "I don't want you to be embarrassed anymore. Although I know that no matter how hard you try, you must have ulterior motives, but it doesn't matter. I love you, so I will take back everything that belongs to me. I will never let you be threatened by Edith again, nor will I let you be threatened by anyone else. I will do everything I can to protect you and become the qualified queen in your mind."

It's like love...

"Ah... Before you become a qualified queen, I will do my best to help you. After all, you promised me that you would give me the freedom I want. Even if... you lie to me in the end, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I will get what I want."

Noelle smiled faintly and returned to the training ground. I stood there and looked at her.

This inexplicable heartbeat, I can't answer the question of whether I like Noelle or not. I must have Stockholm syndrome...

Why? No matter how I thought about it, I shouldn't have fallen for Noelle. It was so impossible. I must be crazy... I must have Stockholm syndrome. I must be crazy...

Shaking her head, Noelle over there has already started a new round of training, and the speed of release is getting faster and faster. I don't know what level she will reach if she keeps training like this, but she is a genius and will definitely reach heights that others cannot reach. Maybe one day in the future, the whole world will surrender to her. Although she is not a qualified queen, she has certain things that a queen should have.

Although she has just started working hard now, and most of the time it is because of me, as long as she is willing to work hard, Noelle will become an extraordinary person one day. I will wait for that day to come.

The day she truly becomes queen...

That will definitely be a great day. I will do my best to protect the Kingdom of Edvira before that day comes.

Well, this is like love...

Chapter 134 The long sound of harmonica

The border of the Kingdom of Edvira.

The melodious sound of a harmonica rang out on the battlefield where the smoke had just settled, and everyone involuntarily looked in that direction.

After the baptism of war, the girl's white armor was covered with blood, but even so, it could not hide the girl's stunning beauty. The gray-white long hair stained with blood danced gently in the wind. Her eyes were as still as still water, as if she had no emotion at all. Her thin cherry-colored lips played the harmonica, and the long harmonica music was melodious and beautiful. The girl had a very beautiful face, but there was no emotion on that beautiful face that seemed to be carefully crafted by a craftsman.

The girl was like playing a harmonica for the war that had finally come to an end, and the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield also sped up their work.

The Kingdom of Edvira was victorious. After a year-long war, the Ulysses Empire intervened, cutting off the connection between the Kingdom of Scindias and the army. Thus, the war in the Biya Mountains ended.

The battle that lasted for a year and cost a lot of financial and material resources came to an end today with the death of the enemy general.

This should have been something worth celebrating, but none of the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield were happy. They were recycling weapons, which could be used again after being repaired.

The war is over...

However, most people felt mixed emotions, because the Bia Mountains would be loaned to the Ulysses Empire from today. They had protected the Bia Mountains for a long time, but on this day they had to accept the fact that although the Bia Mountains were still the territory of the Edvira Kingdom, it no longer needed their protection. The Ulysses Empire blocked the invading Scindias Kingdom.

In other words, the new battlefield will be transferred to the eastern battlefield, and they will soon face new enemies, leaving this familiar battlefield and going to the next unknown battlefield.

The war in the Northeast is over...

The melodious sound of the harmonica floated in the wind. After a long time, the girl put down the harmonica in her hand, stood up, pulled out her sword from the enemy general's body, and put it back into the scabbard.

"General, the war is over"

"Um"

The girl's voice was devoid of emotion and even had a childish quality.

This is normal, after all, she is only seventeen years old this year.

Despite this, she was already a knight who had fought bravely on the battlefield for three years. She had never left the battlefield since she was fourteen years old. Three years had passed...

None of the soldiers disobeyed the orders of the young general because of her age. Instead, they were glad that she was their general and not the enemy. Who could have imagined that those white and slender hands, so delicate, had already killed countless enemies.

Her strength is not diminished in the slightest by her appearance. Her strength is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even those veterans who have fought on the battlefield for ten years are quite impressed by this young general.

"General Patricia, the war is over. What should we do next? Prepare for the next battlefield?"

Patixia shook her head, turned around and looked at the battlefield behind her and said: "Send them home, and we will go home too."

"General Patisia means... to send the enemy's bodies back to the Kingdom of Sindias?"

"Arrange a carriage to take them back as soon as possible."

"Yes"

No one would disobey her orders, her orders were everything.

"go home..."

Paticia said lightly while looking in a certain direction.

Chapter 135 Paticia

In the capital, the central avenue is particularly lively today because the Edvira army has returned triumphantly.

About five days ago, Edith completed her diplomatic mission to the Ulysses Empire. The Ulysses Empire agreed to the conditions of the Kingdom of Edvira, with a lease period of five years. During these five years, the Kingdom of Edvira could guarantee that it would not be interfered with by the Kingdom of Scindias.

The remaining opponent is the Kingdom of Zebikra. The Kingdom of Zebikra is also the enemy of the Kingdom of Edvira for the iron mines in the Biya Mountains. Now the ally Kingdom of Sindias is tied down by the Kingdom of Ulysses. No one knows what the remaining Kingdom of Zebikra will do.

I can't predict so many things, the best I can do is guess.

The sound of the salute rang out, and the whole capital suddenly became jubilant. The person everyone was waiting for at the city gate appeared, wearing silver-white armor, with long flowing gray-white hair dancing in the wind.

Noelle, who was next to me, stood up with a different expression on her face than usual, one of joy.

Lenora also showed a very excited expression in this regard, and so did the others. Perhaps, I was the only one who was not very familiar with Patisia and did not make such a correct move. The year-long war was over, and Patisia won. Although this victory was due to many external factors, victory can always bring the greatest comfort to this country that has been tense.

The Kingdom of Edvira won, and from then on its only enemy for the next five years was the Kingdom of Zebikra. The Kingdom of Zebikra also withdrew its troops not long ago. In a short period of time, the Kingdom of Edvira could enjoy a peaceful life.

No matter they were nobles, officials or common people on the streets, everyone was rejoicing over the victory of this battle.

Even Edith, who had just returned from Ulysses's Empire and complained that I had burdened her, was laughing.

perhaps...

As long as I can't experience that kind of joy, I haven't experienced the difficulties of war, so how can I understand the joy in their hearts now? Maybe this is the gap. After all, the freedom I just got not long ago, should be said to be semi-freedom.

The cavalry approached, and I finally saw the other person's appearance clearly. She had a dignified and beautiful face, and her calm eyes did not show any emotion. Her eyes were light gray and looked very cold, but there was an indescribable charm, a cold temperament radiating from the inside out. How to put it, it seemed that she was not a easy person to get along with. Moreover, she was Edith's political enemy, the one who could give Edith a headache. I don't know what kind of person she was. I am indeed full of curiosity now.

Patricia Esain, a knight lady of the Kingdom of Edvira and a female warrior, guards the peace of the Kingdom of Edvira and is also the ruler of the Esain family, one of the twelve elder families.

Paticia jumped down and landed on the ground very steadily, and the others also got off their horses.

"See Her Majesty the Queen!"

As if they had rehearsed it beforehand, the group knelt on one knee in unison and saluted Noelle.

"Everyone, get up!"

It was rare for Noelle to show such a gentle smile in front of everyone.

After standing up, Patricia walked straight to Noelle. She was taller than Noelle, probably about the same height as me.

"Norel~"

While I was still wondering what she was going to do, she had already hugged Noelle tightly in her arms, revealing a very cute smile: "I missed you so much~ Hug~"

this...

Is this the Valkyrie of the Kingdom of Edvira...

Chapter 136: Palace Banquet

Noelle, who was hugged by Patricia, did not struggle. Instead, she hugged Patricia with her backhand: "Welcome back, Sister Patricia."

elder sister...

"Are you curious, Secretary? Actually, General Patricia is Noelle's sister."

"Ok?"

"Don't you know what a marriage alliance is? Her Majesty's marriage partner is Patricia's mother's brother."

So that's how it is, in other words, they are cousins...

In other words, this girl should be considered my cousin or something...

Although I don’t know who is actually older, after all, I haven’t seen her very often. It’s better to say that I don’t have much chance to meet other people. Queen Meryl has never liked me to meet other people. So I don’t know anyone from the royal family, and it’s impossible for me to know these so-called relatives.

Lenora suddenly stretched out her hand to block my eyes: "Don't look at General Patricia with such dirty eyes!"

"You like to meddle in other people's affairs too much."

I retracted my gaze. What dirty look was there? It was just curiosity.

After hugging for who knows how long, Norelle sighed and said, "Sister Patricia, is it almost time to let me go?"

"I don't want to. I haven't seen the lovely Noelle for a year. You are even cuter than you were a year ago. Hug~"

Finally, the celebration ceremony ended with Her Majesty the Queen's helpless smile.

Night, Royal City.

The royal city is particularly lively tonight. All the nobles and ministers have been invited to attend tonight's dance to celebrate the victory of the Kingdom of Edvira.

The scene was very lively, but I don’t really like crowds, so I hid on the balcony alone and watched what was happening inside.

It's a rare dance party, but I'm wearing women's clothes. By the way, quite a few men have just invited me to dance, but of course I rejected them all.

I didn't say anything. No matter how much I sounded like a woman, my voice was still full of magnetic masculine voice.

I sighed helplessly. Noelle was talking to Patricia over there, and they were chatting and laughing. I also hoped that I could have the most ordinary brother-sister relationship like Noelle, but unfortunately it has become a luxury.

The ball was going on, and those elegant things were not suitable for me, and I couldn't dance, I was just a fool.

So I am here watching the lively scene and enjoying the red wine alone. In fact, I don’t even know how to drink red wine. Others drink it very delicious, but I just drink it for the taste of the wine. It is said that it requires some skills. Unfortunately, I don’t understand it. I am not a person who knows how to drink.

Putting down the cup, I sighed. The capital is very lively tonight. From here, I can see that people outside seem to be celebrating the victory as well.

Nobles and commoners alike were celebrating this victory, but I was the only one who couldn't understand their feelings.

This is what loneliness is.

The war is not over yet, but the pressure is not as great as before. What the Kingdom of Edvira needs to do next is to quickly restore its national strength. The national strength consumed by the war in recent years must be improved.

These things should have been done by the Queen, and Noelle is also working hard, but I still have to help her a little more.

I have no feelings for the Kingdom of Edvira, but now I want to change a little.

"Aren't you lonely when you're alone?"

Chapter 137 Intermission

I turned around when I heard the voice. Edith had stood behind me without me noticing. She smiled at me and then walked over to my side. She leaned against the fence and looked at the people inside and said, "Victory is the most delicious food and the best wine."

"To me, it is tasteless and bitter. I do not understand the joy of victory."

Yes, I am just an outsider. Things that I cannot understand are incomprehensible.

"Is that so? It seems the Secretary doesn't understand the difficulties of war."

"Without personal experience, how could I possibly know the hardships of war? For me, what I'm witnessing now is just a victory in a war that has almost nothing to do with me. Naturally, I can't feel the joy of it. But when it comes to the difficulties of fighting, I actually understand it, so I admire her. A girl can lead thousands of troops to victory. The battlefield is the most terrifying place. For her, what is it like..."

As a former hero, it is impossible for me not to understand the cruelty of the battlefield. I have also been to the battlefield and commanded others. The battle with the devil was very cruel. I still remember the joy of the final victory. It’s a pity that what greeted me afterwards was hell.

“I don’t know how I can be happy now.”

"I'm actually quite happy. At least the Kingdom of Edvira got a good rest, and I can speed up my pace."

"Speed ​​up the pace to control Noelle?"

"Not only Noelle, but also you, the secretary."

This woman's smile is really scary. I guess she's been thinking about terrible things like this all day long.

"You really are not afraid of death. You told me clearly. Aren't you afraid that I will tell Noelle?"

"Even so, what can you do to me?"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. There was nothing I could do. If I had a way to deal with her, I wouldn't be so miserable.

"Now that your worst enemy is back, how do you feel? I'm curious."

"I don't know how I feel. The war is won, at least I'm happy now."

"Is it"

"Besides, you will soon see how powerful Paticia is. If I can't deal with someone like her, can the secretary handle it? I'll wait and see~"

"sister"

Over there, Nadia called out to Edith. Edith nodded and left. I lifted my wine glass and noticed a red lipstick mark on it. Did he pick up the wrong glass? Or did he just drink my glass?

Never mind, I probably just picked up the wrong cup.

Paticia, who supported Noelle, is back. The political situation in the Kingdom of Edvira will definitely become more and more complicated. I just hope that no strange things will happen again. Up to now, there is still no result of the assassin's incident, and I still have a lot of things to do.

So tired...

"Lord Noshu, would you like to eat?"
