Skretil's Ignorance Walker

The sun gradually rises, and the world welcomes a new day. Shrouded in the ominous evil atmosphere, the entire Lily Castle still looked a bit gloomy even though it was bathed in sunlight.

Aselli came to the cathedral in the palace alone. After being ravaged by the previous queen, it looked extremely dilapidated, and it was impossible to tell that it was a royal building in use.

There was some black filth everywhere on the walls. Several statues in the hall were severely corroded and looked full of mottled time. The statue of Archangel Michael in the middle even lost its head. Come down.

Aselli knelt in front of Michael's head and prayed devoutly to the seven archangels. She seemed very powerless against the chaos that had intensified recently.

I thought that after receiving the protection of the powerful Archangel Raguel and acquiring the divine virtue of "diligence", I would be able to do things that were beyond my reach before. But now it seems that Aselli thinks that she is no different from before. She could neither prevent the tragedy from happening nor dissuade the Queen from her wrong behavior. I can only watch the queen step by step towards the abyss.

"Noble Saint Raguel, please tell me what to do now..."

Aseli was in a dilemma at this time. She knew that what the queen did was definitely not normal, but as a courtier of the queen, Aseli had no other choice but to verbally dissuade her.

Especially after witnessing the fate of her former companions, the Queen's Guards, Aselli felt chilled from the bottom of her heart.

When she saw those girls with a future full of possibilities turned into inhuman monsters, Aselli felt that she was just dreaming, and it was also a very serious nightmare. How she wished she could wake up from this dream. .

The powerful protection prevented Aselli from breaking down like Caroline and Zoe, but she could also feel suffocated alone.

Aseli saw Zoe in the palace two days ago. Since the injuries from the previous battle with Lu Ren have not fully healed, Aseli has been resting in the palace these days. Aselli was pleasantly surprised when she saw Zoe, and she immediately took Zoe to her room.

However, after talking to Zoe and telling her the fate of other members of the Guards, Aselli could clearly see the despair and emptiness in Zoe's eyes, and she seemed to have turned into a walking zombie. The old beliefs completely collapsed, and even Zoe's entire outlook on life was destroyed.

After that, Aselli watched Zoe leave here. She didn't know where Zoe planned to go, but under the current situation, maybe Zoe leaving the palace and becoming an ordinary person was the best choice.

"Lady Aselli, Your Majesty wants to see you."

While Aselli was still praying, a waiter walked into the church and delivered the Queen's will to her.

"I know, I'll go right away."

After responding to the other party, Aselli raised her head and looked at the statue in the church. No matter how devoutly she prayed, she received no response. The holy angels seemed to be saying, "Don't blame everything on us. Let me think about it for myself!"

"..."

After sighing in disappointment, Aselli stood up and prepared to leave. After a few days of rest, her injuries had completely healed. She didn't know what kind of things the Queen would ask her to do.

"Is it possible for me to take that medicine too?"

Aselli said self-deprecatingly, and then smiled bitterly after speaking. She no longer sees the future clearly for herself and this country, and doesn't know what she should do.

You can't really resist the queen, right?

That may be the only way, but Aselli directly denied it. If it doesn't work yet, I can't do this myself. There must be other ways. Aselli thought of this. As one of the first members of the Queen's Guards, she really didn't want to betray the Queen.

With all kinds of thoughts in mind, Aselli came to the queen's palace, and after completing a complete set of etiquette, she stood under the queen's throne.

"I wonder what your Majesty asked me to do?"

"Recently, I have felt that the strength of those rebels is growing. If this continues, they may gain enough power to defeat me."

The Queen still spoke in her completely unemotional tone, and Aselli couldn't help but think that the Queen was not like this when she saw her for the first time. At that time, the Queen would still smile and comfort them who were timid.

In their memories, the queen was gentle and beautiful, completely different from now.

"So, it's time for you to play your role. I want you to lead people to raid their hideouts, and then annihilate as much of their vitality as possible."

Hearing this, Aselli raised her head and saw the queen's eyes that were emotionless. At this time, the queen seemed to be a ruthless machine and didn't care about other things at all.

"Your Majesty, are you telling me to leave the palace?"

"That's right. Do you have any objections?"

"No, not..."

This surprised Aselli a little. Ever since she was recruited back by the Queen, she has never left the palace and is basically with the Queen on weekdays. But now, she was asked to leave the palace and take the initiative.

Maybe it’s because you no longer need yourself? Aselli couldn't help but think.

With that group of monster guards, the Queen no longer needs her own protection. Those monsters driven entirely by the Queen's will are sharper blades than anyone else.

Aselli has even accidentally seen that the monsters that were corrupted by the members of the Guards will give birth to some kind of energy after death. This energy will be absorbed by the Queen and then become the Queen's own power.

Although there is no basis for it, Aselli believes that those are their souls, their clean souls that have not been completely corrupted. It seems that even after death, they still cannot escape the fate of being enslaved by the queen.

Originally, becoming a member of the Guard was something they were extremely proud of, but now they see how ridiculous it is...

"Since there's nothing wrong, just take action quickly."

"Yes……"

Perhaps because she found Aseli annoying to stay here, the Queen impatiently asked Aseli to retreat after giving her the hiding place. Aseli had no choice but to do so, and after she exited When he arrived at the palace to gather soldiers in the military camp, he found two familiar figures.

"That's...Caroline! Eva!"

Aseli did not expect that other members of the Guards besides Zoe had survived and continued to stay in the palace, which made Aseli very happy.

But after hearing Aselli's call, the two people seemed a little stiff and came to Aselli reluctantly.

"Hello, Lady Aseli, I didn't expect to see you here. What are you planning to do by gathering the troops?"

The two of them stood in front of Aseli with strange expressions. Seeing the soldiers mobilizing behind Aseli, Caroline asked Aseli with a fake smile. Aselli, who was in a state of relief at this time, did not notice anything strange about them.

"I have been ordered by His Majesty to go out and destroy the strongholds of those rebels. It makes me happy to see you two. Do you want to come with me?"

Facing Aselli's invitation, the two of them looked at each other, as if they thought of something at the same time, and nodded in unison.

"In this case, let us accompany Lady Aselli."
