The nun with black stockings is actually a boy?

"Yes!"

……

The next morning, Eudocia's bedroom.

"Are we still not allowed to go out?" Helen stood at the door and asked Badis, the chief of Eudocia's guards outside.

Badis replied with an embarrassed look on his face: "Lady Saint, if you want to go out, with your combined strength, we won't be able to stop you in a short time."

"But the highest order we received is to stay here and protect your safety."

"Oh?" Helen narrowed her eyes. "Whose order?"

"I'm sorry, Lady Saint, I will never tell you that this is the order of the Prime Minister." Badis asked seriously and solemnly.

Helen sighed, "It's so hard to guess."

"I'm sorry, Lady Saint, this order must be kept secret." Badis said apologetically, "You know, we, the Royal Guards, are always very secretive."

"Of course I know that. Thank you for your diligence." After Helen saluted, she turned around and returned to a room in the palace.

"How is Eudocia?"

Helen closed the door and asked Irina, who was sitting nearby taking care of Eudocia.

"Sister is just lacking mana and is tired, it's nothing serious." Irina shook her head slightly.

"I'm fine, I just used too much magic power at once, three rounds at a time... I'm sorry." Eudocia, who was lying on the bed, took a breath.

Helen pursed her lips. With so many people around, she was a little hesitant to use the skill [Hibiscus Bride] to replenish Eudocia's magic.

"Helen, what's going on outside?" Natalie, who was standing nearby boiling water, asked.

She felt that she was the most innocent. Her real status was just a newly ordained nun. How could she be taken into the palace?

"It was an order from the Prime Minister, but it's not considered imprisonment. They are all Irina and Eudocia's guards." Helen poured Eudocia a cup of hot water. "It's more like protection than imprisonment."

"Protection?" Eudocia sat up from the bed.

Helen nodded slightly and walked over to Eudocia with a cup of hot water.

Eudocia felt the heat coming from the cup and frowned in worry.

"It's not very hot. I've felt it." Helen rolled his eyes. Ever since he had communicated with Eudocia that night, he knew what this woman's nature was and also took note of some of her little habits.

After all, he has a good memory, which is why he can remember some strategies after his rebirth.

"I'm not worried about being hot, I'm just... worried about whether you've recovered from the fever." Eudocia reached out to take the cup and took a sip of hot water. She found that it was not hot at all, and her stomach felt comfortable. All the fatigue she had felt was swept away.

"Then can we go out now?"

Ivilia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Helen nodded slightly: "Yes, but there must be a reason why Osius did this... something must have happened."

"What happened?" Irina asked.

"Irina, Ivilia, and Sister Natalie, can you give Helen and I some time to talk alone?"

Eudocia placed the hot water on the bedside table.

The three girls who were named looked at each other.

"Since we have been invited here and can leave at any time, why not wait here for a while?" Helen said to the three girls.

"I want the next room, and then I want a hot shower," Natalie shouted, standing up.

Eudocia nodded: "Just tell the maid outside the hall."

Natalie put her hands on her hips, snorted, and left the room.

"I live in the room opposite." After leaving this sentence, Ivilia also left the dormitory.

Irina was innocent. She told Helen and Eudocia to go to bed early and left. She did not choose to return to her own palace, but went to the bedroom upstairs.

When Helen and Eudocia were the only ones left in the room, Helen turned and looked at Eudocia.

"What did you guess?" Helen asked.

Eudocia looked at the water glass on the table and said, "Uncle probably wants us to prepare for evacuation."

"If that was the only reason, we wouldn't have been dragged here." Helen crossed her arms. "Even Natalie and I were dragged here."

Logically speaking, if one is really concerned about the safety of the royal family, in addition to Eudocia and Irina, at most one could add Ivilia as a side branch.

Why were even he and Natalie, who were not related by blood, dragged into this?

"That's why I'm curious, or rather why I'm afraid." Eudocia looked at Helen with a somewhat sad look in her eyes. "Among the royal family...besides Irina and me, who else hasn't come?"

"Who's not here? Wait! Nero?" Helen suddenly realized something.

Is this guy going to run away? Or is he going to surrender to the enemy?

No, it should be running...but why at this critical moment?

"I have to get ready too." Eudocia got out of bed. "Helen, come with me. Since you are wearing my mother's magic ring, I naturally have something to show you."

"Um, you know?" Helen subconsciously covered her thighs with her nun's skirt.

“I knew it the first time I saw it.”

You are mine, it doesn’t matter whether I give it to you or to me.

Eudocia added silently in her heart.

Chapter 127: Pure White Wedding Dress [4K]

Helen followed Eudocia to the highest floor of the palace, which was the third floor.

Generally, only members of the royal family can enter here, so even maids and palace attendants are not allowed to enter here.

"This seems to be an exhibition hall?"

Helen, who was following behind Eudocia, asked.

Eudocia, who was walking in front, stopped and turned to look at Helen: "All the things here are my mother's things."

Helen stopped talking after hearing that. After careful observation, she found that the items placed here were all daily necessities, some of which were very old.

Following Eudocia all the way to the end of the corridor, Helen saw a locked room.

"What do you want to show me?" Helen demanded.

Eudocia took a key from her bosom and opened it.

As the room opened, a small chapel came into Helen's sight, with portraits of Mother Eudocia hanging on the surrounding walls.

Eudocia turned to Helen and said, "Come in with me."

"Okay." Helen followed Eudocia into the strange little church.

"I'm going to change my clothes, wait for me." After saying that, Eudocia stepped into the room on the side with her jade feet wrapped in white pantyhose.

She is currently wearing pajamas and a jacket, so it is a bit inconvenient.

"Okay." Helen waited for Eudocia to step into the room, then turned to look at the portraits around her.

After a careful comparison, Helen found that he really looked like Queen Zoe, or in other words, except for his white hair color, his face shape and eyes were basically very similar.

"Hair color and chest...it's just like a grown-up version of me." Helen came to the portrait, her expression mired in confusion.

The Queen Zoe here is different from the portraits outside, or the portraits seen by the people.

If the portrait of Zoe outside is elegant and mature, the Zoe here has not yet lost her youthful innocence and looks more like Irina's sister.

Eudocia inherited more of her father Constantine XI's perseverance and character, as well as her hair color. Compared to a half-elf, she has more of a human side.

Irina is the one who looks most like Zoe, more like an elf.

After looking at the half-length portrait of Queen Zoe, Helen moved to the next picture, which was a full-length portrait of Zoe.

Zoe here is younger, or looks like a girl.

Although the High Elves could not judge age from appearance, since Zoe was only fifty-six years old when she died, it was certain that the portrait was drawn when she was a young girl.

In the portrait, Zoe is wearing a wizard's robe similar to that of a pure white bride, holding a pure white staff, her eyes filled with hope for the future.

"It's so beautiful." Helen crossed her arms. "By the way, why does that staff look familiar?"

clatter! clatter!

Just when Helen was wondering about the staff, Eudocia, dressed in a purple royal dress, walked out of the small room. She wore a crown on her head, and the blue jewels on the crown sparkled.

She was holding a white dress in her hand, and even had a white flower veil on top of it.

Helen was startled, then blinked, "Why are you wearing a dress?"

Although the dress Eudocia wore was a skirt, it was a kind of formal dress, a ceremonial dress worn by the queen when receiving foreign guests or important ministers.

So Eudocia is more like wearing an elegant dress of purple and white.

"This is for you." Eudocia did not answer Helen's question, but handed the white dress in her hand to Helen.

Helen observed the dress in front of her silently, then took it reluctantly: "This is... a wedding dress, right?"

"It's the mage's robe my mother wore when she was young," Eudocia replied wistfully. "It's an extraordinary item."

Extraordinary props?

Helen reached out and took the white surplice, pulling it up and taking a look.

Damn, the flower demon’s skirt!

After Helen took over the inspection, she remembered that this was one of the transitional equipment for the Bride Saint, which could later be combined with the purple equipment [Heart of the Flower] to form the golden equipment [Pure White Bride].

"Why is it the Bride Saint series equipment again?" Helen found that the equipment she encountered was a bit urbanized.

"What bride saint?" Eudocia asked in surprise.

Helen waved her hand. "Nothing... I just didn't expect... to encounter what was described in the appraisal report."

"dislike?"

"It's not that I don't like it, but you just said it's your mother's and I can't have it."

"That night, my mother held my hand in bed... and said she hoped I would wear it one day." Eudocia moved in front of Helen. "At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I was still angry with my mother."

"At the time, I didn't want my mother to advance. I thought that Rank 5 was already the most powerful person in the world. Why would I risk my life chasing after Piaomiao, who was above Rank 5?"

"So I was angry and didn't choose the nun career that my mother taught me, but chose the ship girl recommended by my father."

"Three days after I chose my profession, my mother failed to advance due to insufficient demonic energy... She left me forever."

"So this dress...will never be worn again, just like I will never see my mother again."

"Tell me, if I had chosen the career my mother had guided me in, would she have stayed with me?"

"So I give you... I'm sorry, I'm a little selfish, I just want you to help me complete this regret."

"I'm sorry, Helen. Please forgive my selfishness."

With each heartfelt word, Eudocia, who had always been strong and known as the Iron Lady, lowered her head and cried.

Helen hesitated to speak.

"Sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment." Eudocia turned around and faced Helen with her back.

Helen was silent for a moment, then took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Eudocia.

Eudocia didn't take it, or seemed not to notice, and simply wiped her eyes with her hands like a child.

Helen took back the handkerchief and returned to the small room holding the flower fairy's skirt.

"I'm sorry, Helen. Today's events have given me a lot of wild thoughts."

Eudocia wiped her tears, turned around and found that Helen was gone, but she saw the open door.

"...You don't like my weak side either?" Eudocia slowly lowered her head. She never carried a handkerchief because people would think she was weak.

This is also one of the reasons why she cannot integrate into the group of aristocratic ladies.
