I've run out of money to protect Arad

Chapter 351 Skadi Baloan Marr
"Adventurer Calling Announcement"

【I declare to the world in the name of the queen of the Principality of Belmar. 】

[Recently, a series of abnormal phenomena have appeared in the continent of Arad, and we are now recruiting adventurers to solve them.It is hoped that warriors with both strength and confidence will come forward to resolve the crisis. 】

The Duchy of Belle Mare, Hutton Marr City Hall.

Duan Chao and his sister are watching the bulletin board.

Duan Chao came here after being reminded by Sister Zedin in Ghent. After all, this is the country closest to heaven and the place with the best information.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at Hedunmar, Duan Chao got the news that the Queen of the Principality had issued a summons announcement.

"Adventurer, what should we do now?"

After reading this announcement, Yan Wangyue frowned deeply.

I didn't expect such a serious thing to happen to Arad in just a few months after he left.

Is it an abnormal phenomenon...?
Duan Chao touched his chin and thought for a while, then snapped his fingers, "Go to Skadi."

"Skadi? You mean Queen Skadi of the Principality?"

Yan Wangyue's eyes widened in surprise, you don't want to see the queen, you can see her if you want, right?

When he went to the heavens to hunt down the murderer last time, he wanted to see the queen, but failed.Now that the adventurer actually went to see the queen because of such an announcement, it is a bit taken for granted, right?
Although the Principality of Belmar is now ranked behind the Delos Empire and Ghent in the mainland, the Queen is also the head of a country after all. Is it really so easy to see her?
……

"Adventurer? It's so nice of you to come!"

Yan Wangyue was stunned when she saw Queen Skadi personally greet Duan Chao.

He had imagined Duan Chao's status as high as possible, but when the facts happened, he still found that he had underestimated Duan Chao.

When Queen Skadi saw Duan Chao, it was as if she saw an old friend she hadn't seen for many years. The excitement was not faked at all.

Is it...

Yan Wangyue suddenly remembered a previous rumor. An adventurer famous for meeting Duan Chao and the queens of various countries in the mainland had an inexplicable and unclear relationship, and the relationship between gentlemen was as light as water.

Queen of the Duchy of Bel Mare, Skadi Baloan Maar;
King of the Void Country, Suran Askar;
Celestial Empress Alizee;
Dark Elf Queen Meia de Rip Cassandra;

And...the former third princess of the Delos Empire and the current queen Isabella Katrin Heinrich. Thinking of this, Yan Wangyue quickly pushed the thought out of her mind. This is simply a kind of love for Her Majesty the Supreme Queen. Blasphemy!
but……

Seeing the intimate appearance of Skadi walking farther and farther with Duan Chaoyue in his arms, Yan Wangyue's heart began to beat again.

……

In a secret room, Skadi sat opposite Duan Chao, looking a little haggard, completely different from the glamorous appearance before.

"Adventurer, can I call you Brother Chao like them?"

"Of course, I'd love to." It's nice to be called that by a queen. "You don't look very well."

Hearing what Duan Chao said, Skadi let out a long sigh.

The fate of those in power in the countries on this continent is relatively rough, and Skadi is no exception.

Although she is now the queen of the principality, in fact, she is not a member of the royal family.

Skadi was originally the daughter of a wealthy businessman from the Principality of Belmare. She was quite famous for her beauty and gentle personality. For this reason, she married the crown prince of the Principality of Belmare at the time.

Originally, her married life could also be called a happy one, but it was a pity that not long after her marriage, the frail and sickly crown prince passed away.

Because of this matter, she has also received a lot of criticism - because there are rumors that Skadi is too beautiful, so the crown prince couldn't help it after getting married, "every night until three o'clock, and once in a while." ", and finally died.

Skadi felt bitter.

Because only she knew that the crown prince had more than enough heart and strength—strictly speaking, she was still perfect until now...

There are such rumors, one is because she is so beautiful, it is not unreasonable to say that jealousy can drive people crazy.

The second reason is that in addition to her beauty, she also has a very gentle personality. When the crown prince is still there, she can say anything. Once the crown prince dies, others will naturally have other thoughts.

Of course, the most important reason is that once the crown prince died, Skadi became the legitimate heir to the throne.

At this critical moment, the gentle Skadi seemed to have changed into a different person. With his vigorous execution and political methods of both toughness and softness, he won a group of nobles to support him, and efficiently used the resources left to her by the crown prince. .

The rule of the Principality of Belmar itself is determined by the parliament. Although the power of the king of the Principality is still there, most of the policies need to be passed by the three main members of the parliament.

So after Skadi had the support of most of the MPs, he naturally took the position of queen.

After becoming the Queen of the Principality, Skadi did not disappoint the people. She showed extraordinary political intelligence and superb governance skills, and managed the huge Principality of Belle Mare in an orderly manner.

It is a pity that this country does not attach importance to the military by nature. In this case, Skadi is subject to everywhere except for national development.

The threat of the Delos Empire, the spread of the Plague of Nothmar, and the disputes in the Kingdom of the Dark Elf all made the queen exhausted...

Among other things, Skadi was assassinated several times.

In this case, Skadi pays special attention to his own protection.

It was her fate that she should die. During an operation, Skadi accidentally saved Lobach, who was being hunted by the empire. In order to thank him for saving his life, Lobach volunteered to follow Skadi and protect her.

At the same time, because of Lobach, Skadi got in touch with many anti-imperial groups, so he began to allocate capital and secretly support them.

On the other hand, there are a large number of adventurers in the Principality of Bel Mare, so the Delos Empire has no particularly effective way to deal with Bel Mare—it can only continue to do things through assassinations and threats.

Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that Skadi's face improved when he encountered the current situation.

Some time ago, when she was in contact with the queens of other countries, she even said that it would be great if Duan Chao was still there.

I didn’t expect this dream to come true so quickly.

Although she, like Isabella, never gave up looking for Duan Chao, but that was more of a formality. Unexpectedly——Duan Chao really came back!

At this moment, Skadi suddenly felt hopeful.

"Have you seen the announcement? That's right, the current situation is as written in the announcement..."

After the initial excitement, Skadi calmed down quickly and told Duan Chao the current situation.
