Chapter 748: The Queen with Problems and the Cowardly King

"I greet the Queen and Your Majesty." Roger entered the hall and bowed.

The queen looked at Roger, motioned him to excuse himself, and asked, "How was the result of this journey? Where is the messenger?"

"Your Majesty, the ambassador sent by the expeditionary force is Viscount Qixing Verin Aix. According to the information I have obtained, he is the grandson of a legendary powerful man, who is one of the four decision-makers of the expeditionary force." Roger recounted Verin's origins in concise language.

"Where is the other party now?"

Roger replied, "Queen, the other party is in heaven."

The Teton King looked puzzled and asked in confusion: "In the sky?"

"Yes, Queen."

Roger described his return home in brief words.

After listening to the other party's story, Queen Teton fell silent.

"Queen, what attitude should we adopt towards this ambassador?" King Merezakli of Teton came to his wife and asked softly.

Queen Titon did not answer the other party, but continued to ask Roger: "When will Viscount Qixing return tomorrow?"

"In reply to your Majesty, the ambassador said he will enter the capital from the north gate in three days." Roger replied with his head down.

"Then welcome him with the highest standards. Three days is enough time for the arrangements." Queen Teton murmured to herself, then turned to look at her husband, "After three days, I will come out with you. At that time, you will be the leader and I will assist you."

"This...I..." Merezakli wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Queen Teton saw what her husband was thinking and said firmly, "Just do as I say. This matter is not negotiable."

"Sir Roger."

"Queen, please give me your orders."

"You will host this ceremony. After meeting with the ambassador, you will take over your elder brother's position and become the new foreign minister of the Teton Kingdom."

"Thank you Queen."

Roger looked excited and saluted Queen Teton.

After standing up, Roger bowed to King Teton again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Sir Roger, please leave."

"Yes, Queen."

Roger looked respectful and left the hall.

After a while, Queen Teton ordered the door of the palace to be closed, and sat down on the throne. She looked at her husband with a cold expression and said, "I don't care how many women and illegitimate children you have outside, but you can't jump in front of me."

"You will be in charge of the aftermath of Tollien Manor. I don't want to see a single living person, Slivi family."

"Yes, King..."

"kindness?"

Queen Teton's sharp eyes made Merezakli tremble all over. He forced a smile and said in a gentle tone: "Elsa, I understand."

"My dear Merezakli, you should be very clear about my feelings for you."

Queen Elsa of the Teton suddenly stood up and disappeared. The next moment, she appeared in front of Merezakli, stroked his face with her hand, and said gently: "I will not interfere in your affairs, but your love for me cannot change."

"Yes Yes."

"Why, are you afraid of me?" Queen Teton looked up at her husband. The gentle expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by extreme indifference.

"No, Elsa, I loved you sixty years ago, and I still love you now, even if I die..."

"Okay, I don't allow you to say such things." Queen Teton put her finger on her husband's lips to stop him from continuing.

Queen Teton gently adjusted the wrinkled clothes for Merezakli and said in a gentle tone: "I will wait for you in the Tierra Garden tonight."

"I will." Merezakli held Elsa's hand and acted infatuated.

After Queen Teton left, Merezakli looked at the empty hall, sat on the ground in an ungraceful manner, and broke out in a cold sweat.

He originally thought that the construction of Tollien Manor was done by his children, but he didn't expect that it was Elsa who did it.

I don't know when it started, but Elsa's mental state began to deteriorate. Sometimes she was gentle and kind, sometimes she was cold and ruthless, sometimes she was cruel and brutal, and sometimes she was bloodthirsty...

"It seems to have appeared when the government affairs were handed over to me ten years ago."

As for sidelining his wife and becoming the real King of Teton, Merezhakli had thought about this after he first took over the government affairs. However, every time he gathered some confidants, the whole family would be killed at the beginning of the next month.

After several such tragedies, no one dared to join him, and he dared not do such a thing again.

His initial guess was that his wife was the one who did it, but after decades of living together, he didn't believe that his wife would do such a thing, so he speculated that it was a method left by the previous king to prevent the throne from being taken by others.

Out of fear, Merezakli gave up his unrealistic ideas and began to govern the Teton Kingdom seriously.

Now it seems that it was most likely his wife who did those things.

If Elsa hadn't told him the truth about Tollien Manor today, he probably wouldn't have thought in this direction.

Thinking of this, Merezakli clenched his fists, and after a long time, he unclenched his fists.

"Ugh--"

After a sigh, Merezakli stood up from the ground, returned to the palace, prepared to take a bath, and go to the Tierra Garden to meet Elsa in the evening.

……

Late at night the next day, Roger carefully passed through the tunnel and came to a private garden in the northern part of the city. In a pavilion in the center of the garden, a woman was lying casually on a long wooden chair. In the dark, twelve female assassins were secretly guarding her to protect her safety.

"Good night, Your Highness." Roger came to the outside of the pavilion, bowed and spoke.

"Come in and sit down." Hearing the cold voice, Roger stood up, walked into the pavilion, and sat down opposite the girl.

"I heard from Rachel that you reached some agreement with the ambassador." The girl looked at Roger with cold eyes and asked expressionlessly.

"Yes, Your Highness." Roger said straight to the point without hiding anything.

"Tell me why you do this, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get out of here today." The girl picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea for Roger, and handed it to him, her tone full of murderous intent.

Around the pavilion, several assassins appeared, looking at their target, waiting for their master's order.

Seeing this, Roger was not at all flustered and told the entire transaction process, including his own guesses.

After a long while, the girl looked up at the moon, her eyes revealing a trace of deep thought. She gently waved her hand, signaling the assassin to retreat.

Seeing this, Roger felt relieved. He knew that His Highness agreed with his idea, otherwise he would have died here today.

"After the welcoming ceremony is over, I want to talk to the ambassador alone."

"Your Highness, I will do my best."

"You go back first."

"Yes." Roger stood up, saluted, and left quickly.
