The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Kneeling to the slave

Nasus sighed wearily.

Ever since he became an ascender and obtained endless power, even after he didn’t need to sleep or eat, he seldom felt tired.

Yesterday, after the queen followed the slave who kidnapped Ta’anari’s life and chased them out, the entire imperial city fell into chaos.

The people were on the verge of rioting. The Queen Setaka, whom they almost regarded as faith, almost got engaged to a slave. If it weren’t for the Golden Warriors and many ascenders, the anger of the people would have destroyed the entire imperial city. Many people even vented their anger on their own slaves, wanting to execute them privately. Fortunately, Nasus also personally preached, promising to give the people an explanation, and this matter was temporarily suppressed .

The Elders of the Sun Council was unusually quiet, and Nasus knew what they were thinking. This slave was found by them. If the Queen blamed them, they would not be able to absolve themselves of the responsibility. They are probably discussing the countermeasures intensely now.

The only ones who haven’t calmed down yet are the Ascendants gathered in the palace.

“You said that slave really defeated Her Majesty the Empress.” A weasel-like ascendant questioned, “How is this possible!”

“This is what we saw with our own eyes! Her Majesty herself admitted that she was defeated!”

“So what! Your Majesty must never marry a slave! I don’t agree!”

“Don’t say you don’t agree, none of us agree, but now that Her Majesty the Empress has personally chased it out, we can’t control Her Majesty’s thoughts.”

“What do you mean! Do you think His Majesty will…”

“After all, this is what His Majesty said personally. Those who defeat her can marry her. We all know His Majesty’s character. She never breaks her word.”

“Your Majesty! Why haven’t you come back yet!”

“Your Majesty is going after that escaped slave.”

“Why didn’t you catch up!”

“It’s easy to say! That Ramos runs faster than the sandstorm, and he can’t catch up!”

“Ramos! Is it Ramos from that story?”

“how could I know!”

“Scholar, please say something.”

Nasus sighed inwardly. He looked at the hundreds of Ascendents who were quarreling in front of him. They were so anxious because of their loyalty to the Queen and the Empire, and Nasus couldn’t reprimand them.

“Her Majesty hasn’t come back yet, I don’t know if she has caught up.” Nasus recalled the appearance of the armadillo, which was very similar to a legend he had heard since he was a child. “The slave also called him Ra Moss… it seems that there should be no fake…”

“How can a slave control Ramos?” a wolf-headed ascendant questioned, “Is there any conspiracy behind this? Someone is deliberately targeting Her Majesty the Queen. Have you investigated the origin of that slave?”

“I’ve actually met that slave a long time ago. His name is Luo Sa.” Nasus said, “Maisha once brought him to meet me because of his anger.”

“Isn’t Maiisha the life-bearer of Ta’anari?” Xu Yuyan was taken aback.

“The girl who was taken away by the slave is Maiisha.” A hamster ascendant said, he looked at Ta’anari, “Tayanali, do you have any explanation for this?”

Seeing the eyes of countless compatriots staring at him, Ta’anari rubbed his eye sockets: “I’m the one among you who wants to know what’s going on, but I really don’t know. I only know that Mai Isa got that male slave not long ago, I thought she was just playing around, but I didn’t expect…”

“Hmph! Your management of your subordinates is too loose.” A Jackal Ascension said, “If you strictly discipline, things won’t be like this!”

“Okay!” Nasus knocked on the floor with his long-handled axe, stifling the quarrel that was about to erupt among the Ascended, “We are all fellow countrymen, there is no point in arguing here, what is the matter with that slave, if Her Majesty can It’s natural to bring him back. If you don’t bring him back, you need to investigate again. The most urgent task now is to consider how to calm this matter. Not only the people in the imperial city saw everything yesterday, but also the missions from various countries. If we don’t handle it well, the prestige and dignity of our Shurima Empire will be severely damaged! Some people with malicious intentions will even try to get their hands on the border of the empire!”

The Ascendants calmed down. Nasus had a high prestige, and even Queen Setaka often asked him for his opinion. The Ascendants also felt that what Nasus said was reasonable, so they put the matter of the slave aside for the time being. side.

Valieva remained silent the entire time. She looked at Naganeka and Verus beside her.My sisters and brothers were all downcast, and they didn’t join in the quarrel just now.

“Hey…” Valieva wished she could tell everything she knew, but Naganeka would not allow it. After all, this matter was related to her. Naganeka would inevitably be severely punished after being exposed, Valieva Although she cared about Luo Sa’s life and death, she didn’t want anything to happen to her sister.

“Then, everyone.” Nasus wiped some clear oil on his nose, and said, “Let’s discuss how to suppress this matter now.”

“Don’t press it.” A voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty is back!” No ascender would recognize this voice. They all looked towards the gate, and Setaka’s figure appeared in front of the gate.

But the ascensionists’ surprise quickly turned into fright.

Setaka was being held around the waist by a man.

And that man has a slave mark on his face.

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty” the Ascended’s eyeballs almost fell out of shock, some of them almost couldn’t hold back and shot and killed the slave who dared to blaspheme the Queen, but they are not allowed in the palace. 9? 8; 0; 2? . 0′. 5,,8″5.;6 It is an iron law to use force, and it was still in front of Setaka, so they desperately held back.

Nasus pushed away all the ascenders, frowned and walked to the front: “Your Majesty, this is…”

“The emperor brought my husband back.” Setaka said indifferently, “That’s all.”

All the ascendants were dead silent.

They looked at each other’s reactions, and they could see the deep horror in each other’s eyes.

“Your Majesty…” Nasus wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by Setaka.

“The emperor knows what you want to ask, so let’s talk about it first.” Setaka said, “The emperor has made an oath, the man who defeats the emperor in Chakade will become the emperor’s husband, the emperor Not going to break my word.”

“Your Majesty!” Several straight Ascenders couldn’t help it, and rushed up and shouted, “No!”

“The emperor’s will has been decided!” Setaka said coldly. There was no trace of anger on her face, but it made the several ascenders who rushed up dare not go forward at all.

Luo Sa looked at Setaka’s side face. This beautiful woman was really the Queen of Shurima. The hundreds of powerful Ascendants in front of her were silent under her majesty.

“Why don’t you kneel down when you see me and my future husband-in-law?” Setaka continued to press, “Could it be that your dignity and loyal ministers have deteriorated!”

The Ascensionists gritted their teeth. Of course they love the Queen, and there is no problem kneeling down to Setaka, but asking them to kneel down to a slave… is simply more uncomfortable than killing them directly.

Only Nasus and other keen Ascendants realized that the Queen was not really angry, but acting, and looked at Luo Sa thoughtfully.

“Those who don’t kneel down will be expelled from Shurima!” Setaka finally shouted.

Nasus knelt down first.

The grand maester knelt down, and the other ascended ones also knelt down one after another, but there were still some people who stared at Luo Sa with the eyes that vowed to turn their bones into ashes. Luo Sa felt as if he had fallen into a lion’s den, and his back was covered in cold sweat.

Setaka patted Luo Sa’s back lightly with his hand, signaling him to calm down.

Finally, all the ascenders knelt down.

The Ascended at the top of Shurima’s power, they knelt at the feet of a slave.
