Is the night devil queen me?

After struggling in her heart for a while, the little girl slowly put down the tableware, looked at the lady and said, "Mom hasn't eaten anything for a long time, if you don't eat, then I won't eat either."

As if angry, the little girl withdrew her hands and placed them on her skirt, not intending to eat.

The pupils flickered slightly, the lady blinked slightly, sighed imperceptibly, stretched out her hand to touch the little girl's head, and said with a smile, "Silly boy, why doesn't mother not eat?"

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of fruit, chewed it in her mouth, swallowed it, and said, "Okay, do you still want to feed it from your mother? Eat it quickly."

Seeing that her mother started to eat, the little girl was overjoyed, nodded heavily, and started to gobble it up. It seemed that she was really hungry.

"Master Nok..."

"Master Nok..."

Suddenly, the lady heard a maid's faint greeting outside the door, her heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head to watch the door slowly open.

Nok was wearing a gorgeous mail armor with the Snelli Empire logo printed on his chest. The young and handsome man he once was was no longer there, only black and white hair and deeply wrinkled cheeks remained, looking old.

With his appearance, he looked even older than the lady who was his mother.

"Mother." Noke came in, nodded to the lady, and greeted her.

The lady looked at Nok and didn't answer him.

Noke didn't take it seriously, and walked to the little girl's side, with a doting smile, just about to reach out to touch his sister, but the lady pulled her back into her arms and hugged her tightly.

The outstretched hand was frozen in mid-air, Noke's expression didn't change, but his palm trembled, and slowly clenched into a fist, but finally relaxed.

"Mother?" The little girl looked at the lady in confusion, then at Nok, and tilted her head, "Who is this uncle?"

"Listen to your mother, Nali, go back to your room first, okay?"

"But……"

"obedient."

"Hmm... ok..." The little girl nodded, jumped out of her mother's arms, glanced at Nok, and trotted away.

After watching the little girl disappear, Noke took a deep breath, picked up an apple on the table, fiddled with it, and said slowly, "What's going on, mother, your eyes seem to be looking at a stranger. "

"Because all of this is unfamiliar to me, Nok, whether it's you or this place, why are you wearing the chain armor that marks the Snelli Empire?" The lady stood up and looked directly at Nok.

"Because I am now the protector of the Snelli Empire." Nock continued to fiddle with the apple.

"That's what I don't understand."

Noke stopped fiddling with the apple in his hand, slowly put it down, turned around, and stood in front of the lady, "You don't need to understand, mother, you just need to know that I have made the family proud now, what about our family?" There have been saint-level powerhouses from time to time, look here, enjoy the glory, wealth and supreme treatment, your son has one of the few strongest powers in this continent, and that is enough."

Shaking her head, the lady took a step back, "But, you have changed..."

"How have I changed, mother? I am still filial to you."

"Filial piety to me? We can't leave this room for even half a step. All of this feels so empty, Noke, you haven't told me anything, and I don't understand anything, but I just want to make sure now, here Is it the Snelli Empire?"

"Yes." Nock replied immediately.

"why?"

"what why?"

Gritting her teeth, the lady's tone became trembling, "Have you betrayed your own empire..."

"That's not my empire! And they betrayed me!" Nock suddenly roared, his voice echoing around.

This yell scared the lady. She was stunned for a moment, but she continued to speak bravely, "I don't understand, and I don't understand these things. All I know is that at first I was just waiting for my son to return home after fighting for the empire." , and why did it become like this now? From the mother’s point of view, I’m at a loss, Nock, tell me, what’s going on?”

"Mother, you should understand that I was born and died for the Fiat Empire. I have no future at all, and I can't even get Tina, whom I love. Why? I thought about it, and then I realized that power is everything, and it allows me to get my What I want is that Tina, the once high-ranking lawbreaker, is no match at all. If I don't have strength, I can't even protect you. The Fiat Empire is doomed. !"

"So, what about your glory? Nock, that is the empire that gave birth to us and raised us. Since you were young, you have dreamed of becoming a knight, defending your home and country, just like your father..."

"My father!?" Nock yelled again, "He died fighting for the Fiat Empire, what did he get in return!? Nothing!"

"Your father is a hero!"

"Hero!? Is he immortalized!? He is included in the ,,group;:!3",0?9.0??1.9:5!.2!!6;: History! ?When he participated in the war, he was still a little soldier!How did we get here when we were young, mother, when you were pregnant with your sister, don't tell me you forgot!Did the royal family remember him! ?Do those people remember him! ?No!nothing!In this world, power is everything!Only victory is everything!People will only remember the glory after victory, and will not pay attention to the darkness and dedication behind it! "

"Your father protected us in the previous war launched by the Snelli Empire...the Snelli Empire killed your father!" The lady's pupils narrowed slightly, as if she was looking at a stranger.

"That's because he is weak!"

Snapped!

The noble lady slapped Noke, her hands were trembling, tears rolled down her eyes, and said, "You have changed, Noke, I am so heartbroken. When you were young, you were always obedient. I never slapped you." , why did it become like this now..."

Noke tilted his head, with blue veins bursting on his forehead, he turned his head slowly, and said coldly, "Because I saw the tempting desire in the dark, that's what I want, what are you dissatisfied with now?" ? Enjoying this royal treatment, what else do you want!?"

After all, Noke turned around and left without any hesitation.

The lady covered her mouth, sat down limply, and wept softly.

At this time, a little girl came slowly from the corner, and seeing her mother crying so sadly, she also sobbed.

"Mother...don't cry..."

"Nali..." The lady gently pulled the little girl over, hugged her in her arms, stroked her soft long hair, and buried her face in her small shoulders.

…………

The carriage was driving on the streets of the imperial capital of the Snelli Empire. It was a deserted place, like an abandoned site. When the wind blew, a burst of yellow sand was immediately rolled up, with paper scraps and garbage.

The buildings seem to be decorations, lifeless, and the alleys where the sun does not shine are dark, with occasional figures flickering inside.

It was a bustling street market, which was under heavy confiscation by the war and lost its previous prosperity. The sound of rushing.

Leia and Lilith kept looking at the window outside the carriage, and Leia, who knew the situation of the Fiat Empire well, couldn't help shaking her head.

It's one thing for the Snelli Empire's treasury to be insufficient, and it has imposed such a large-scale demon army. The consumption can be imagined. She doesn't understand how the king squanders it, but it can be seen from the current situation that the collection is too much. Seriously, coupled with the blockade of the country's borders, merchants in the empire have no goods to sell, and even if they do, the people may not be able to afford them.

This is a vicious circle. Under severe pressure, the prices of commodities will definitely rise crazily. People's lives are forced by the needs of life. Under the pressure of hunger, darkness will sprout in their hearts.

Looking at the dilapidated shop fronts, as well as the occasional wooden sticks and even knife blades, one knows the tragedy that happened here.

The patrols that used to maintain law and order on the street have been requisitioned by the army. Even if there were, there was no way to suppress them in this situation. Violence extended violence, causing this chaos.

In war, only the people suffer forever.

This is a dispute without absolute victory. In the end, both parties will pay a heavy price.

The world is so cruel, following the ruthless law of the jungle.

Under the domination of desire, darkness, despair and greed spread.

"It's really a tragedy, Edward." Lilith looked away, looked at Edward sitting opposite and said indifferently.

"Yes." Edward didn't seem to want to look outside.

"Is this what your father wants?"

Edward shrank his pupils and did not answer Lilith. He lowered his head and remained silent for a while before saying, "I will try to change."

The carriage continued to drive, and after a while, a series of heavy armor crashes covered the rumbling sound of the carriage, and there was only billowing yellow smoke floating in front of it, and in the blur, a small group of heavily armed Snelli Empire soldiers could be seen.

Under the scorching sun, their figures were somewhat blurred, but their speed was very fast.

They are the expropriation team sent by the empire.

The captain who led the team suddenly noticed the carriage driving in front of him, stopped immediately, stretched out his hand, and made the men behind him also stop.

The carriage given to Edward by the small captain just now by the city wall was not a special carriage for the palace, but an ordinary carriage requisitioned by the common people.

The captain who led the team was overjoyed. The one who could still afford a carriage under the current circumstances was probably some well-hidden wealthy businessman. It seemed that the team could be closed earlier today.

"The first two, follow me to have a look, and the others to search in other rooms." The captain ordered.

"Yes!" The soldiers received the order, except for the two soldiers who followed the captain, the rest immediately dispersed to search the civilian houses.

Boom!

Almost every soldier kicked in without knocking on the door, as rude as a robber.

"Zhengrui Zhengrui!" The soldiers roared in the room, followed by some people screaming in fear.

"Hey! The carriage in front! Stop!" The captain and the soldier had joined the army not long ago, and they hadn't participated in the army's operations in Gavis, so they didn't know him. A soldier stretched out his hand and shouted.

Weiss frowned, not wanting to bother with this kind of role.

"Hey! Didn't you hear me when I told you to stop!?" The soldier roared again, drew out his sword, and slammed the armor on his chest.

The crisp sound of clang was very ear-piercing, which frightened the horse that Weiss was driving, raised its front foot, roared, and stopped.

The carriage was jolted, and Edward frowned.

Leia looked out the window and sneered, "Your expropriation team seems to want to expropriate your royal family."

Weiss's expression turned cold, and he jumped out of the carriage. The soldier walked over arrogantly and cursed, "I just told you to stop, are you deaf?"

boom!

Just after he walked a few steps, his body was suddenly blown away by the holy energy, hitting the wall in the distance, spit out a mouthful of blood, and passed out.

"What!" The captain and another soldier who were still watching the joke were startled and quickly drew out their swords.

"Who are you!? Dare to attack the Imperial Army, don't you want to die!?"

"It's you, who are you? How dare you talk to me like that." Weiss fumbled in his arms, showing the proof of his royal guard knight.

Chapter 120 Regret

"What!? Are you trying to scare me!? You are going to die!" The soldier next to the captain is a recruit who has just entered the army. Well he didn't see it.

"Bastard!" The captain had been in the army for such a long time, and he still had some insight to get a small position. He shouted angrily, and slapped the recruit, but because of Too anxious, did not expect that he was wearing a helmet.

Although the blow didn't hurt, the recruit was stunned.

Ignoring the dull pain coming from the palm, the captain hurriedly knelt down to Weiss, and said in a deep voice, "I'm very sorry! Sir Knight! My subordinates have poor eyesight! I didn't recognize it was Sir Knight!"

Although the other soldier didn't know Weiss, his captain suddenly knelt down and gave such a respectful salute to the man in front of him, no matter how stupid he was, he would understand that they hit each other with guns!

His body trembled suddenly, and he quickly knelt down with the captain, not daring to say anything.

While yelling in his heart that he was unlucky, the captain couldn't help but secretly scolded the people in the palace, what's wrong with sitting, they have to ride in this kind of misleading civilian carriage, and they are dressed like this, don't you mean to play with them?

"It's so majestic, soldiers, is this how you conscript civilians?" Weiss said coldly.

"Please forgive me, Lord Knight!" The captain clasped his fists and said tremblingly, feeling aggrieved in his heart. It's not because the task given by the higher-ups is too heavy. How can they, the lower-level beings, complete the task otherwise.

"What's going on?" Edward stepped out of the carriage, looked at the two soldiers kneeling in front of Weiss, and showed a puzzled expression.

"King...Prince...Ah! See Your Highness the Prince!" The captain saw Edward coming down from the carriage, and felt as if explosives had been ignited in his heart, and he was stunned with a bang.

It turned out to be a carriage carrying a prince!

What day is today, his unlucky day! ?

The captain wants to cry but has no tears, and there is even a royal family!And still a prince!Is this kind of civilian carriage specially used to amuse them! ?

At this time, Leia and Lilith also got out of the carriage, hearing the screams of the civilians and the shouts of the soldiers, their thin eyebrows frowned.

"This is Zhengrui's team, Your Royal Highness." Weiss replied truthfully.

"Zhengrui's team?" Edward looked at the captain kneeling on the ground.

It might not be obvious from the surface, but sweat had already soaked his vest under the captain's armor.

"In this case, are you still recruiting?" Leia asked.

"Master Leia..." Edward didn't know how to answer.

This is the status quo of the empire. It's not bad, and I bumped into Zhengrui's team again, and even recruited myself. It's ridiculous to say this.

He just showed the saintess the most ridiculous and ugliest aspect of how corrupt the empire is today.

In their eyes, the saint is the spokesperson of God, the eyes of God, that is to say, they give all these things to the god they believe in most, and present them in front of them without reservation.

Leia...

Although the captain didn't know Leia's appearance, he still knew her name. Isn't this the current saint! ?And if it cannot be said from the mouth of the prince, then there is no doubt at all!

The Holy Maiden is also here!

omg...

The captain only felt his eyes go dark, and fell into despair. How could he not know who was in his team! ?

Now he only prays that those guys don't make any trouble...

"Smelly old woman! You're fucking talking! Don't blame me for being rude!"
