in the name of the queen

Chapter 116 Do you have a dream, Sif?

Captain Jace looked at Earl Tyrone's carriage with some anxiety.

He received an urgent mission, and the order came not from the brigade commander but from the Minister of War.

The Minister of War directly gave him, the major captain, an order, which made him a little confused.

And this order is very strange.

If the person in the carriage claims to be Earl Tyrone, he will protect her throughout the journey and cooperate with her to complete the task, but Earl Tyrone must not be allowed out of sight and her actions must be monitored.

If the person in the carriage claims to be the Queen, he will be arrested and brought to justice.

Her Majesty the Queen is still in the Imperial Capital, so anyone outside calling her a flag must be an imposter.

Pretending to be a queen is a serious crime.

This order made Jace a little overwhelmed, but he still resolutely carried out the order and led the light cavalry troops to pursue him.

Fortunately, the other party claimed to be the Earl of Tyrone, so there was no need to take action.

As a mid-level officer in the imperial guard force, he was lucky enough to participate in the Glory Day celebrations and knew that Earl Tyrone was the role of the Elf Queen.

She looks so much like the Queen that most people would not be able to recognize her when she pretends to be the Queen.

Fortunately she didn't do that.

A slender arm stretched out from the carriage, waving to Jace.

Jace quickly dismounted, hung his weapon on the saddle, and walked to the carriage empty-handed.

It was a serious offense to approach a nobleman with a weapon in hand, and he did not want to be caught by the Earl of Tyrone.

No one wants to be watched, especially nobility.

He must carry out the order cautiously, neither disobeying the instructions of the Secretary of War nor offending the Earl of Tyrone.

She is the Queen's close minister and shadow.

There are big figures on both sides who cannot be offended. How can he, a little cavalry major, offend them?

Jess stood seven meters in front of the carriage, saluted the carriage, and explained softly:
  "Your Majesty, this is official business, please forgive me."

The car curtain was lifted, and Earl Tyrone showed a beautiful smile at the window.

"Captain Jace, the Secretary of War must have a reason for his arrangement. I am the chief instructor of the White Rose Knights, and you are the captain of the Cavalry Guards. There is no affiliation, so there is no need to be so polite."

Seeing the identical faces of Sif and the Queen up close, Jace was still stunned.

His heartbeat was speeding up.

In the minds of many people, the Earl of Tyrone is the Queen's closest minister to the palace and her incarnation.

To disrespect the Earl of Tyrone is to disrespect the Queen.

Although Jess faithfully carried out the order, he was quite dissatisfied with the order of the Minister of War.

The Minister of War seems to be confused about his position.

He is a cabinet minister, but he sends people to monitor the Queen's ministers in the name of protection.

No matter how many reasons there are, this is not the way to be a minister.

But these dissatisfactions can only be suppressed in the bottom of my heart.

After all, the War Secretary's reasons were high-sounding and irreproachable.

Faced with Sif's calm and somewhat questioning words, Jace was a little panicked, but he still calmed down.

Seeing that there was no one around, he took a half step forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although we are not directly subordinate, according to military regulations, when a temporary team is formed, it should be commanded by the person with the highest title or military rank present."

"I will obey your orders on this journey."

Jess gave it a go.

Seeing Jace's resolute attitude, Sif said softly: "My order is to strictly implement the orders of the Minister of War. Remember, all orders."

"He is a minister appointed by Her Majesty the Queen and represents the Queen's authority."

Jace froze.

Did Earl Tyrone's words also include monitoring her actions?
  Just when he was confused, Sif's clear voice sounded in his ears.

"I believe in your loyalty, but what about the five hundred people? Captain Jace, protect yourself."

Jace's whole body was shaking with excitement.

The Earl of Tyrone recognized his loyalty! This is basically equivalent to the Queen's approval.

He saluted the count vigorously and accepted the order.

Earl Tyrone was right, these five hundred people could not all be absolutely loyal to the Queen.

He knew better than to say that he was not a confidant of the War Secretary and had been sent because he happened to be on duty.

The cavalry cannot remain ready for battle at all times.

Even if a man can bear it, a horse cannot bear it.

Several cavalry units took turns sending elites to maintain combat readiness to attack at any time, and could deal with emergencies at any time.

Mobile troops can buy time for the main force to complete its assembly.

The one on duty tonight happens to be Jess.

So here he is.

He hesitated for a moment and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, I just happen to be on combat readiness duty. It won't be long before more troops come to 'protect' you."

"I understand." Sif smiled and nodded, appreciating Jace's loyalty and sensitivity.

Jace's whole body was shaking with excitement. He stood upright, saluted Sif, tried his best to switch to a cold expression, and left slowly.

Jace, who returned to the cavalry unit, calmly gave the order to have several squadrons perform escort missions at the front and rear of the team.

Several squadron leaders looked at Jace in confusion, wanting to ask something but not knowing how to ask.

Just when they were looking at each other, Jace said in a deep voice: "You all know the orders from your superiors, so I won't stop talking nonsense and execute the orders!"

Now that Jace had spoken and no one was going to take the blame, the squadron leaders naturally no longer hesitated and dispersed.

They also felt that it was inappropriate to follow the Royal Knights, and were more worried about the outbreak of conflict.

Fortunately, it's okay.

The squadron leaders all breathed a sigh of relief.

Their loyalty is far less than that of Jace, and they are not even qualified to enter King Power Square to watch the show.

In their opinion, neither the Minister of War nor the Earl of Tyrone were important figures, and they could not afford to offend either of them.

This is not something that a small person earning twelve shillings a month should think about.

What they want is to quickly complete the task and receive the subsidy.

After lowering the car curtains, Sif looked back at Roland and said nervously: "I, is there something wrong with what I just said?"

Roland looked at Sif silently, making Sif feel terrified.

Sif looked at Roland timidly, and just when she almost admitted her mistake, Roland finally couldn't help but laugh.

"Sif, you have to be confident. You did the right thing. Even if it were me, I wouldn't be better than you."

Sif took a deep breath, punched Roland angrily, and muttered softly:

"You know you don't have confidence and you're still trying to scare me?"

Roland did not hide, but said calmly:

"If I'm not with you, you have to learn to think for yourself."

"Why aren't you with me? Do you want to defect? ​​Never allow it!"

Sif thought for a while and said softly: "Did someone offer you a higher condition?"

"Don't think blindly, am I the kind of person who has no bottom line?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Roland and Sif fell silent at the same time.

Although they didn't speak, their thoughts were surprisingly consistent.

Mr. Roland's bottom line is very flexible.

Looking at Sif's clear eyes, Roland had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.

"No one can give more, trust my sincerity, okay?"

Indeed no one can give more.

Can other forces give her the most beautiful girl in the world?
