My queen always makes my survival more difficult

What's going on? This...

Chapter 231 Can I call you brother?

"Your Highness, please come this way."

After a while, someone finally came to pick me up and handed Siel back to me. I sighed helplessly. Is the power of the royal family so insignificant here? Nadia had already entered the fortress, and I was the only one left. This time, I really didn't want to lose...

The fortress was enormous, far more expansive than I'd imagined. I hadn't imagined that the Kingdom of Edvira, so weak, could possess such a luxurious fortress. It had almost everything: living quarters, training areas, weapons depots, food storage. Almost everything a fortress should have, doubled here...

Outside the fortress, there is a wall like the Great Wall, extending to a very far place. It is the first time I have seen such things in this world. It reminds me of my hometown. However, the Great Wall here is not so majestic. It is built to defend against foreign enemies. There should be similar fortresses over there, which are connected all the time. Next to it is the Biya Mountains, which are endless. As the largest barrier of the Kingdom of Edvira, it is now controlled by the Ulysses Empire. Of course, this is my attention and loaned to the Ulysses Empire. Thanks to this, the Kingdom of Edvira is finally not short of equipment and other things, and most things can be well replenished.

After all, they already have more metals. Although most of the metals belong to the Ulysses Empire, it is useless for the Kingdom of Edvira to get those metals. Moreover, it can now get the protection of the Ulysses Empire. The Kingdom of Sindias at least dare not attack the Kingdom of Edvira again. As long as the problem of the Kingdom of Zebikra is solved, the Kingdom of Edvira will get enough breathing space and will be able to gradually become stronger.

"Why don't you let me in? What do you mean?!"

Halfway through, I saw Nadia being stopped by a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was surrounded by a red, bloody aura. When I walked over, I felt a strong smell of blood coming towards me, and there was even blood on the sword in his hand.

This shows one thing, that this person has just killed something, so there is such a strong smell of blood on his body.

"My lord, this is His Highness Noxiu."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man glared at Nadia coldly and walked towards me. Then he suddenly knelt on one knee in front of me and said, "Greetings, His Highness Nuo Xiu!"

This was the first time I was saluted like this, and my body unconsciously pulled the person in front of me up.

"No, you are the heroes who protect the Kingdom of Edvira. Don't salute me. I don't like that. Just behave as usual."

The other party was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything. I just said what was in my heart. To be honest, this was the first time I felt that I was a member of the royal family. After all, whether in the palace or in the royal city, those people were not polite to me. But I didn't really want the person in front of me to salute me. This was probably because when I saw him, I would think of some things in the previous world. I really... didn't like this kind of thing.

"I understand. Lord Nuo Xiu, please come this way."

"Why! Why can he go in? I can't! What does Paticia mean?"

"General Patricia said that no one except Her Majesty the Queen can enter the central area, even if Edith is here."

"you!"

The surrounding soldiers came over immediately and surrounded Nadia. Nadia glared at him, but the middle-aged man ignored her look, made a gesture and walked forward.

"Your sister will be here soon, please wait here for a moment."

"asshole!"

I didn't intend to mock her, but seeing her unhappy face, I felt very happy in my heart. This is the result I want, the kind of thing that couldn't be more pleasant.

I was so happy in my heart, but I couldn't show it, otherwise this little girl would quarrel with me endlessly, and I didn't want to quarrel with this little girl endlessly.

"Your Highness Nuo Xiu, do you know that person?"

"How could I not recognize her? She just plotted against me. Look at the wounds on my body. We came here together. There's an army behind us. They'll probably arrive at the fortress tonight. You can go and pick them up then. But don't make things too difficult for this little girl. If she's really pushed into a corner, she'll do something that would scare even you."

"Really? Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Joe, and I'm General Patricia's adjutant."

"I didn't expect you to be Patricia's adjutant. I heard from Noelle... no... Her Majesty the Queen that Patricia has a very strong adjutant by her side, so she always wins every battle."

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, you are so kind! If it weren't for General Patricia being here, we wouldn't necessarily be fighting for the Kingdom of Edvira."

"After all, in the Kingdom of Edvira, men have almost no status."

"Lord Noshu too?"

I nodded helplessly: "Even if I am a member of the royal family, in reality, I am just the secretary of Her Majesty the Queen. Just like you, I am just an adjutant."

"Her Majesty the Queen is your sister, she won't treat you badly, right?"

“It’s just too good.”

It is indeed too good. No matter how you think about it, it makes you sad and want to cry. This kind of thing... is really hard to say.

"Forget it, let's not talk about unhappy things, we are about to reach our destination."

Looking up, I saw an independent building standing in front of me. From a distance, it looked like a small fortress, very solid, and surrounded by people guarding it. It seemed that Paticia's injury was real...

After a while, we arrived in front of the building. Joe gave a signal and the soldiers around went down.

He walked up and knocked on the door.

Boom boom boom!

"Um"

There was only a faint sound from inside, and Joe opened the door for me.

"General Patricia said that you can handle the plot alone. I still have to go guard the border. Your Highness can rest assured about Nadia's affairs. I won't let her come here to cause trouble."

"Thank you"

"Then I'll take my leave."

"Um"

Joe turned and left. I still have some good feelings towards this middle-aged man. I can see that he is a very mature and steady person. He is an amazing person who can work hard to guard the border of a place like the Kingdom of Edvira. After all, guarding the Kingdom of Edvira here may not get anything in the end. This is the saddest thing in the world.

I walked in slowly, and a strong smell of medicine hit me in the face. It was very spacious inside, almost like a huge room, with some furniture and bookshelves. There was a person behind the bookshelf. I closed the door and walked over.

Behind the bookshelf must be Patricia's boudoir.

It was very clean. The small flowers on the table were of a variety I had never seen before, but they were not very good. They should be wild flowers nearby. The faint fragrance was mixed with the smell of medicine.

"Noxiu"

Patricia was sitting on the bed, her neck was almost wrapped in bandages, and even her beautiful face had a few scratches. For a girl, this was the last thing that should have happened.

I put Siel on the table. I didn't know what to say. I was not really familiar with her. We had only met once. She was like Noelle's sister, but younger than me.

A girl younger than me became the Valkyrie of this country, protecting it. I didn't even know if this was her first failure or if it had happened before. A girl with beautiful skin was replaced by bandages.

"Have the troops been brought?"

"Yes, 30,000 men. This is the maximum number of troops we can recruit at the moment. Noelle asked me to protect your safety no matter what."

Whenever Noelle was mentioned, I always felt that there were stars twinkling in this guy's eyes, but that was not because he wanted to cry, but because he was very happy. He was as innocent as a child who heard his favorite thing. Yes, it was that look, full of expectation, sparkling with anticipation.

"Is she okay? I heard about what happened in the imperial capital. She was very brave and solved such a troublesome situation."

"I guess so. You are gradually becoming a true queen. You really... like Noelle very much."

"Well, I like Noelle the most. Noelle is my baby, so even for Noelle, I will protect the Kingdom of Edvira."

Baby, although I don’t know why Noelle is so important to Patricia.

"You are seriously injured, why did it turn out like this?"

Paticia shook her head and motioned me not to ask any more questions.

"Rest well during this time. We will guard the border for you. No matter what happens, I promised Noelle that I would protect you."

"Norel is my most important baby, but you are not"

"I know"

"Are you also my family?"

"If Noelle is your family, and she and I are siblings, then I am also your family."

She seems to be very devoted to her family, but her attitude towards me is a little lukewarm. Of course, I don't expect anything good to happen. As long as I can solve the problems here and leave here safely, I will be happy enough.

"Then, can I call you brother?"

Chapter 232 Choice

"I think... this is not a very good idea"

Patricia's expression didn't show much of a toast because of what I said. Instead, she looked at me with a smile.

I really feel sorry for this girl, guarding the border of the Kingdom of Edvira alone and keeping all dangers out.

If the Kingdom of Edvira was stronger, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. The Zebikla Kingdom is coming with great force. Edith and I will do our best to stop them. You just need to rest well during this time. If you have anything you want to do, you can tell me."

"Is Edith here?"

Hearing this name, Paticia's eyes began to become sharp. I nodded and said, "This time she came for the Kingdom of Edvira. I know you have always been at odds, but on this matter, there must be no conflict. This is also Norelle's choice. Edith is indeed the most powerful person in the country now. This is a helpless situation."

"I know. If Edith hadn't come, I would have found it strange. Among the twelve families, only the Rom family still possesses powerful strength. Even I... can't compete with the Rom family. It's only because I chose the most dangerous one. Only by possessing military power can I compete with them. Norelle... must be very unwilling to accept this."

"I don't know what happened to you, but Edith is willing to protect the Kingdom of Edvira."

"Well, otherwise, she would be dead."

Just a few words made me feel a chill. To be honest, she was very powerful. If she really wanted to kill someone, it would be easy.

Although Edith has a lot of people around her, they are no match for Patricia. She has always been against Edith, but has not done anything extreme in those matters. In other words, Patricia understands that although Edith is hateful, she is thinking about the Kingdom of Edvira. They just have different positions.

But it is also to protect the Kingdom of Edvira.

"Obviously, if I were to marry you, this matter would probably end."

"Norel won't allow this. She absolutely won't allow you to be taken away by Zebikla. That's why she would do anything at this time, even choosing to cooperate with Edith, in order to protect you. In her heart, you are also very important. As Norel's brother, I can feel her feelings for you. After all...that guy doesn't care about anything else except the things he cares about. She cares about you, she really cares about you, it's definitely not a vacation."

Patricia smiled beautifully. She always smiled when Noelle was mentioned. I really didn't understand what it was about Lenora, Patricia, or those who fought on Noelle's side that attracted them...

For me, I really can't see those things, after all...

After all, I was hurt and scarred, although I didn't hate Noelle, even...

But I don’t understand why others would choose Noelle. If I were given a fair choice, I really wouldn’t choose Noelle. This is a sad fact.

Chapter 233 Doubts

"Norel..."

Patricia called the name softly.

"The affairs of the Zebikla Kingdom are my responsibility. I will take on this responsibility and will definitely defeat the Zebikla Kingdom."

"This isn't just your fault. The Zebikra Kingdom is being too aggressive, but it's also very strange. They were originally planning a marriage alliance with us, but why did they end up attacking you? What exactly happened that day?"

Paticia sighed slightly. "I'm also very puzzled by what happened that day. It doesn't seem like something Wuerzan would do. It seems more like someone else arranged it. Although Wuerzan is an enemy, he is not a malicious person after several encounters. He would not use such despicable means. Moreover, I didn't see Wuerzan that day, so I don't know whether Wuerzan gave such an order that day."

Patricia's tone was very decisive, and she must be completely sure about this matter.

Urzan, the emperor, did not appear.

"Why did you go there that day?"

"Because of the marriage, Ulzan proposed a marriage to the Kingdom of Edvira. He told me this on the battlefield. He said he wanted to get me through the most correct means, so he wanted to marry the Kingdom of Edvira. Moreover, the Kingdom of Zebikela has been at war with various countries for many years, and its strength is no longer the same as it once was. Wars always ebb and flow, and Zebikela has been depleted too much. Even if the war continues, the Kingdom of Edvira will be the victor in the end. It is normal for him to propose a marriage to negotiate peace."

There was helplessness in Paticia's cold tone, and she seemed to know very well what was happening in the Kingdom of Zebikra.

"On the day the incident happened, he asked me to discuss this matter. Because the news had already come from the country, I thought this matter would be facilitated, and that Wuerzan would not do such a despicable thing, so I went."

At this point, an angry expression clearly appeared on Patricia's face. No matter what she said before, she would smile when she mentioned Noelle, and always had a poker face when talking about other things. Only at this time, she showed an angry expression, and it was known that she was very angry about this matter.

But I don't understand why Paticia would believe what Ulzan said. No matter how you think about it, if this is a war, you shouldn't trust the other party's words at all. As the saying goes, all is fair in war. Although Paticia came back in the end, she was seriously injured...

And then the enemy also besieged the fortress, although they were stopped, but this...

No matter how you think about it, this is all Paticia's own fault. She chose the wrong path. I don't understand what she is thinking about this matter.

"I believe in Ulzan. Even though he is my enemy, I believe in him."

Perhaps she noticed that I was suspicious of her, she suddenly said.

"All's fair in war, maybe it really is Ulzan"

"If it's him, the next time we meet on the battlefield, I will definitely take his head."

Please don't say such a horrible thing so calmly, it makes me feel more scared than saying it in a scary tone.

"Let's talk about this later. You should have a good rest. I have to go and arrange the military affairs. Edith's sister is still outside. I have to go and see if anything happens again."

"Um"

Paticia nodded, and I immediately left the building and walked out.

Chapter 234 Cooperation

When we returned to the previous place, Nadia was still blocked by us. The soldiers didn't give her any chance at all.

As soon as she looked up, she saw me and immediately showed a terrible expression. I sighed helplessly and walked over there.

"Your Highness Noxiu!"

The soldiers seemed to have remembered me. I nodded and they made way. I walked out, and Nadia rushed in front of me. "What do you mean?"
