Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 233 Disappointment

In the huge dormitory, it was so quiet that you could hear the sound of dust falling.

Although the magic ball of light in Lenara's hand has disappeared, the tension in the air has not eased at all.

After all, the queen's current mental state is extremely unstable. No one can guarantee that she will go completely crazy after hearing an answer she doesn't want to hear, and use thousands of shining swords to raze this place to the ground again.

However, Lucia stared at the lonely figure on the throne, and her tense body gradually relaxed, while she sighed silently in her heart.

"Marlenia is still a child," he said.

"Because of the corruption curse that has plagued her since birth, in the past thirteen years, even when she was relatively healthy, she could only sit in a small wheelchair and let the maids push her around. The high walls and courtyards of the Golden Temple remain unchanged - and most of the time, the only thing that accompanies her is the boring sky over the Holy Tree Temple."

"And the people she can come into contact with, even including the guards, servants, gardeners and maids, are not enough to make up the new faces at a noble banquet. Perhaps because of this, when the child met a person in the deep palace, Gu Longshi, who came across the ocean, clearly saw only a corner of the world, but mistakenly thought he saw the whole world."

"So -" Queen Lenora raised her eyebrows lightly, "Are you assuring me that my daughter is your real choice?"

"No." Lucia replied calmly.

"Arrogance born of ignorance is the only original sin of mortals. I firmly believe this, Your Majesty."

He calmly stared at the unpredictable Queen Lenora, and said seriously: "The reason why I say 'maybe' is because it is just my wishful thinking and definition of her."

"I will help Malenia get rid of the curse, so that she can live freely under the sun like any girl of the same age, and can contact, feel, recognize and understand the world in any way she likes."

"Perhaps as her knowledge increases and her mind matures, she will no longer stay in the ignorant thoughts and feelings of the past, but will start a new life and meet a more suitable partner - then , I will bless her.”

Queen Lenora's delicate white knuckles silently rapped on the armrest of the throne, narrowed her eyes and said, "What if she still loves you then?"

"I will repay Lance and Lani with a completely equal love," he said without any dodge, looking back at the queen calmly, "Like Lance and Lani, she will become my three queens. One until the end of each other’s lives.”

Lenara's expression was stagnant, and she seemed to be laughing out of anger, and said: "I didn't explain it clearly, or you didn't understand it. How dare you make such an answer in the Royal Court of Kallia, in front of my throne?" ——Gold and the moon have always clearly occupied one pole of the world, and everyone must choose between them, even Radagan!"

Speaking of this, the vast and majestic magic power in her body suddenly surged with excitement. Similar to Latarn's legendary ability "Magic Tide", an invisible and qualityless magic pressure accompanied her words. Echoed in the hall.

For a moment, it seemed as if the air was trembling and condensed into a thick and thick ocean current, which was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

Seeing this, Lucia just stood there quietly and sighed softly: "His Majesty, do you want me to be like Radagon in the future, a bastard who simply abandons his wife and children?" Deathly silence

This time, Lucia didn't even look at Queen Lenara who was in astonishment, and said to herself: "If gold and the moon are destined to only choose one side, then he stood up very quickly - October 35th of the Golden Calendar When the Eternal Queen summoned her, she left without saying goodbye and ran back to Rodel in February of the following year. In March, news came that the Eternal Queen and the new King of Elden were getting married at the King Ceremony."

"By the way, if I remember correctly, the Golden Law Sword of our Majesty Radagon was modified with the Moonlight Sword given by His Majesty."

"You" Queen Lenora suddenly lost her previous calmness. Her hands tightly clasped the armrests of the throne. With so much force, a vein bulged on the back of her white and tender hands.

"I am not saying this to irritate you, and I hope your majesty will forgive me," Lucia bowed and said, "I just want to tell your majesty that instead of choosing to be like Radagan, who decisively abandoned Kallia thirteen years ago, and now he has Fighting fiercely with the Eternal Queen, or being like Your Majesty, who is clearly betrayed but wants me to commit the same act of betrayal - I would rather make the third choice."

"Perhaps everyone in the world must choose between gold and the moon, but Sky City is an exception."

His ice blue eyes were full of strong confidence, as if stating a simple fact, "Even if it comes to the so-called 'standing on the side', His Majesty will definitely see it with his own eyes, whether it is about the golden tree or the star." Yue Lai, standing by my side is the only wise choice."

On the throne, Lenara stared at the young man in the distance, and after a while she said: "Come closer, Lucia Sanks."

Lucia stepped forward as instructed and stood ten steps in front of the throne, letting the Queen look at her repeatedly.

After a long time, Lenara finally said: "You are too sharp, but your talent and strength are indeed worthy of your ambition."

"In the past three years, Mugram has talked to me countless times about you, not to mention the three children Lataun, Rakad and Lani," the queen said, "even if we leave out Kali The friendship between Ya and Fam Azra can be traced back to the Star and Moon Era, and I will not make such excessive demands just relying on their respect and trust in you."

"The grudges of the previous generation should not be extended endlessly to future generations. If you really promise to draw a clear line with that child in front of me, I will feel disgusted with you."

"It's just." A bitter smile appeared on Lenara's beautiful face, "Why do you speak so openly about Radagan? An overly sharp edge is not a harmless weapon. Over time, it will always be It will inevitably hurt those close to you.”

"This is not my original intention, Your Majesty." Lucia lowered his head humbly. "With all due respect, I am not trying to sting Your Majesty's wounds, nor am I making any self-righteous satire or preaching. But I know that Your Majesty has already I was worried about this matter to the point of illness, but it was still able to test my character for the sake of Lani’s future, so I said those words radically.”

"Your Majesty, as the Supreme Master of Magic, is wise enough to be at the top of the world - if you were not trapped in feelings, you must be able to realize that instead of wallowing in irreparable memories, you might be able to bear the pain and open the wound. , moving forward calmly is the better choice.”

"After all, Your Majesty never did anything wrong back then, but if you continue like this, it will be an equally unfair let-down for Kaliya and the people who are close to you and trust you, right?"
