My queen always makes my survival more difficult

My head hurts just thinking about it. Ailolinwei’s food can’t even be called food. It’s simply poison.

Even though that guy has been trying hard and has barely reached the point where he can eat, I can't be too picky about food. I've promised him something, and I won't go back on my word.

Bread and fruit are enough for me.

"Why, is that all you're eating?"

I felt a little ashamed when I saw the huge pile of things Joe was holding.

"This is enough for me, and it's a little too much."

"Hahaha, they are indeed royals."

"You'd better take back what you said. This has nothing to do with whether I'm royal or not. Besides, I don't like having that title. Just treat me as an ordinary person."

I feel like this is distancing the relationship. I really don't like things like royalty. I am who I am, Noshu Tilinger.

A completely fake royal family.

"Is this what the soldiers eat?"

The bread was very rough, not of bad quality, but the taste was really not that good.

"You know the situation in the Kingdom of Edvira. The royal family hasn't eaten this kind of bread much, right? But this is the food for the soldiers. Meat and other things are only available once every two days. After all, the supply is limited. For the Kingdom of Edvira, this is already very good. Most of the soldiers here are born civilians. Being able to eat food is better for them than paying them military wages."

I...

I really don't know what to say. I knew how poor the Kingdom of Edvira was, but I didn't expect it to reach this level.

"Things have gotten better recently. At least thanks to the intervention of the Ulysses Empire, we've had fewer wars. Now, if we can defeat Zebikra, we'll have even fewer battles in the future. At least during this time of alliance with the Ulysses Empire, we can have a good rest."

"I'm sorry, if I could, I would also like to work harder, but our queen is not a very good queen."

"Your Majesty, this is your sister, right?"

I nodded. "Even though she's my sister, Norelle isn't a qualified queen yet. I believe she can be one in the future, but not yet. I don't want to make things difficult for her, but it's really not enough now."

"Her Majesty Queen Norel, she was able to make Lenora sacrifice her life, and even after such a thing happened, she never gave up... I'm really curious about what kind of person Queen Norel is."

"Lenora? What happened to Lenora?"

"Don't you know? About Lenora"

"I know you're injured, but is there something wrong?"

Looking at Joe's expression, I always feel that...something is seriously wrong.

Chapter 272 Swear

boom!

"Ok?"

Ishanola was startled, and then a bag was thrown beside her bed, and then the figure rushed to the other side of the curtain.

"May I come inside?"

"you come back"

"I brought you breakfast... take your time to eat."

"Can"

I heard Patricia's voice from inside, so I pulled aside the curtain and walked in. Patricia was sitting on the bed, her complexion looked better than before, but when I saw that guy, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart.

Lenora was lying next to Patricia, with the scratches on her face...

A burst of anger in my heart burst out involuntarily, and I forced myself to suppress my anger.

"How is she?"

I felt my voice trembling. At this moment, I was like a child and couldn't calm down. Why did things turn out like this? This fool was the hero who saved the fortress.

"Although the bleeding was barely stopped, the wound was cursed and would not heal. This was a poison only found in the Kingdom of Zebikra, and it possessed a power similar to a curse. Therefore, the wound on her face would not heal. The wounds on her body had almost healed after treatment, but the scar on her face would never heal."

"hateful..."

That bastard! Ulki, right? He actually resorted to such despicable means! For a girl, face is so important. Even if it's not important, a wound that won't heal, how painful it is...

Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable! We must catch that guy! We must find the antidote no matter what!

"Your expression is scary."

"I'm sorry, I can't even suppress my anger. Even though I don't like this guy, he's fighting for the Kingdom of Edvira and for Noelle. Seeing her become like this, my heart is really sad! Paticia, is there anything I can do? No matter what I do, I will find the antidote! I will never let her stay like this! Never!"

"You have to go find Edith about this matter. I have handed over all the matters concerning the fortress to Edith. Edith will give you an answer."

Patricia actually handed over all the fortress affairs to Edith?

This is incredible...

Edith and Patricia have always been enemies targeting each other.

No, I was wrong. When I saw Paticia's eyes, I understood that even if the two of them were enemies, they could reach a consensus on how to deal with the Kingdom of Edvira. No matter what happened between them, it was just a matter between them and had nothing to do with the Kingdom of Edvira!

"Sorry, I understand."

I walked over to Lenora's bedside. It wasn't that I felt bad, but seeing her like this, I felt really bad. Even though we were always arguing and bickering, Lenora was still a reliable person to me...

Part of my strength comes from her. This guy is willing to sacrifice his own life to protect the fortress. It's so stupid that I'm speechless. But I can't help but admire him. He is willing to sacrifice everything to protect his goal. He is an amazing person...

Lenora...

We will definitely find a way! Absolutely!

Chapter 273 Let’s Go

"Scary eyes"

"Edith..."

Edith came in. She probably knew what it was all about, so there was no need to ask any more questions.

Lenora is still in a coma and has not woken up yet. This is the body's way of self-protection. When the pain exceeds the level that the body can bear, the person will fall into a coma.

Walking over to Lenora's bed and sitting down, Edith reached out and gently touched her face. The scratches on her face were truly shocking. No matter who saw it, they would have the same thoughts in their hearts...

"Poor child"

"Edith, what should we do about this?"

"If you want to get the antidote, now is not the time. Ulki has suffered a loss for the first time, so he won't get out so easily. So we can't be too anxious about this matter now. Even if we are anxious, it will be useless... I will find a way to deal with this child, no matter what method it is, I will think of it."

Edith naturally couldn't turn a blind eye to Lenora's affairs. Even though she was no longer her companion, she still had good memories of her.

Edith will find a way to get back what she has lost, and now is the best opportunity to get back what she has lost.

"Edith"

"Alright, take good care of yourself. I won't interfere too much in the affairs of the fortress. I'll leave all the affairs of the fortress to Joe. Just take good care of yourself."

"Edith, thank you for coming."

"I'm not here for anyone but myself. Sooner or later, I will take over the Kingdom of Edvira. Everything will become mine."

"I'll stop you"

"Then take good care of your injuries and come back to stop me. You can't do anything right now. You're dragging this body that might fall down at any moment. Do you really think you're a Valkyrie and won't get hurt? You knew it was a trap, but you chose to die anyway. I really don't understand. You're not stupid, so why did you fall for that trick?"

Paticia nodded.

"As long as it's for Edvira and Noelle, I will fight for even the smallest chance."

"For the Kingdom of Edvira, for that foolish Norel... What an irrational choice! But I will inherit everything this child has sacrificed. I will do my best to take care of the fortress, but I hope you can get well soon. If you delay too long, the fortress might no longer be yours, but mine."

"The fortress belongs to the Kingdom of Edvira, it belongs to Noelle! It doesn't belong to you and me."

Edith smiled strangely and said nothing. She just gently touched Lenora's head, stood up and left.

"Then you should have a good rest."

After saying something to Paticia, I chased after him.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Let's go to the outskirts of the fortress. No matter what kind of intelligence they have or what kind of scouts they have, they can't bring me a complete map. I want to see the entire map of the fortress. You should come with me as long as I can use you."

"Um"

This girl is actually very worried about the situation in the fortress. Although I don't understand what she's thinking, she always says such hurtful things. In fact, she cares about Lenora. I can see the anger in her eyes. At least I've never seen her serious. I just don't know what this seriousness will lead to in the end...

"Edith, you..."

"Talk less, do more, and follow me"

"Ah...um..."

Chapter 274 What do I need to understand?

There's still a section of the wall that hasn't been repaired, but that's not a big deal anymore. They were able to repair the entire wall so quickly, which is really remarkable...

Edith walked up to the city wall and looked into the distance: "The enemy camp has disappeared. When I came here yesterday, I could still see it from here. It seems that they have retreated a lot."

Indeed, it is no longer visible now, but yesterday I could still see the location of the enemy’s camp. What happened that made those people retreat?

Edith smiled strangely. I always feel that this girl has done something extraordinary. After all, only she can do that kind of thing. But, what did she do?

I was very curious, but judging from her expression she didn't intend to tell me, so it would be useless even if I asked.

"Edith"

"General Qiao, has the fort been repaired?"

"According to your instructions, most of the areas have been repaired. The remaining areas are areas that do not require attention. As long as we continue to repair them, they will be fully restored."

"Don't overlook even the smallest loopholes, and try your best to restore the fortress to its original state. This is for everyone's benefit."

"I understand. I'll do it right away."

It's incredible that Joe actually listened to Edith's orders obediently. I thought Patricia and Edith were enemies, and Joe would also be Edith's enemy. It seems that Joe is not like that. He will choose to obey the correct orders. Edith's instructions to repair the city wall were correct, so he did it. There is nothing strange about this.

However, I also looked at the broken parts, and most of them are internal. Even the internal damage needs to be repaired properly...

It's a bit weird, but that's fine.

"The fortress walls here have been in use for a long time. They existed long before the establishment of the Kingdom of Edvira. If they need to be repaired, they must be repaired properly. This is also for everyone's benefit. When you use them, you will understand."

Edith continued walking forward, and I noticed she was constantly observing the terrain, the fortress, and the situation outside. Her eyes constantly scanned everything she saw, never missing a single thing. Her level of seriousness was truly unimaginable...

It's no wonder that she is feared even by the Queen. It makes sense.

"Ha ha..."

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm just wondering, what on earth can Noelle use to fight you?"

"Noelle has things that only Noelle has, and she has things that I don't have. She has everything that I have. You haven't seen Noelle at her best. In a sense, it's because of you that Noelle is not the best. You will help her accomplish what she should have done. In fact, it's you who is hindering Noelle from becoming stronger. Before you appeared, what do you think Noelle could use to fight me?"

"This...I really don't know what to say."

What did Noelle do before I came? Even if you tell me now, I still don’t know. What did she do?

I sighed helplessly...

For that kind of thing, I can only find the answer myself. These people are all mysterious and won't tell you anything at all.

"Why do you think Lenora left me and went to Noelle... You will never understand."

I...

What on earth do I need to understand?

Chapter 275: Too Serious

After touring the fortress and walking around most of the places, it was already noon.

"call..."

Edith walked in front of me without a word of being tired. She walked around the fortress on her own. You should know that this fortress is very large, almost as big as a royal city.

It takes a lot of time to walk around, and it is even a bit exaggerated to be able to complete this task at this point.

I really admire Edith's willpower. No matter what the matter is, she has to go and see it in person before she can come up with any countermeasures. Now that she has seen the entire fortress, I don't know where she plans to go next.

"for you"
