Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"Report to the king! There is someone outside the palace asking to see you!"

A retainer walked quickly to the main hall, knelt in front of the throne, and said loudly.

"Who wants to see you?"

"Tell the king that the person who came here calls himself Hera, and she was an old friend of the king."

"Xuan."

"As ordered!"

This voice was not spoken by the White King, but came from the White Lady standing beside the throne. She looked calmly, looking straight at the entrance of the main hall, waiting for the arrival of Hera.

After King Bai made the 'deal' last time, he immediately confessed to Mrs. Bai when he came back. Mrs. Bai just nodded and didn't make any other reaction to King Bai's infidelity, as if she was just listening to a normal thing.

beep...

The sound of footsteps echoed in the main hall, and King Bai looked intently. It was Hera who came, but she was not alone at this time. He could clearly feel that there was someone else in the swaddling clothes made of cocoons in Hera's arms. A breath of life.

"Hera the grass-folk, see the king and the queen."

After Hera finished speaking, she hugged the baby and knelt down. Just as she was bending down, King Bai raised his hands slightly and was about to lift her up, but two white roots quickly climbed onto his body. , pressed King Bai's hand back.

"The leader of the weavers, there is no need to lower your status. Why are you here this time?" Mrs. Bai said calmly.

Hera raised her head slightly and looked at the white lady's toes, not daring to look at her. However, she saw that the white king was also silent at this time, waiting for her answer.

"The queen has spoken seriously. The common people have come here to ask for something. I wonder if the king will grant it."

"explain."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Hera's mouth, because what she was going to say next, she felt that it was a fantasy, not to mention that the White Lady was also beside the White King at this time,

"The grass people...the grass people beg the king to bring my child into this palace and accept the favor from the king."

Madam Bai narrowed her eyes and walked towards her slowly. The aura exuded by her body became thicker and her tone gradually became lower.

"You mean, you want the king to help you raise your child?"

"The grassroots just want to..."

"Why? What does your child have to do with us? Whether she is dead or alive is meaningless to us."

Hera opened her mouth, but then closed it again. She wanted to refute, but she didn't dare.

After all, the bloodline of her own child was not 'orthodox', not to mention whether King Bai hid the matter from Mrs. Bai, she had never known.

"King, Cao Min implores you to agree to Cao Min's request. Cao Min is willing to pay the price."

Boom!

With a muffled sound, Hera knocked her head hard to the ground, and in an instant, a dazzling bright red appeared on the pale ground of the main hall.

The White King's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not expect that Hera, the leader of the clan, could wrong him to such an extent. However, when Hera wanted to kowtow again, she was stopped by the roots stretched out by the White Lady.

"If you kowtow and want the king to help you raise your children, then where do you think this palace is?"

The white lady's eyes were filled with rare anger, and Hera was shaken all over.

Hera raised her head, blood flowing down her cheek. She looked at the White King with pleading eyes, but what she got was a slight shake of his head.

"Or do you just want to use your child to get a third of an acre of land in this palace?"

Lady White's whispers were like mountains pressing on Hera's body.

"The queen has misunderstood, and the common people have no intention of doing so!"

The roots climbed up the swaddling clothes beside Hera and rolled it into her arms. Madam White looked at the child inside and couldn't help but shook her head and praised: "What a cute child. Unfortunately, there is another child in her body." A taste."

Hera's pupils shrank, and she saw that the roots stretched out by the White Lady were suddenly sharp, lying across the child's neck, and said sternly: "If you don't tell your true purpose of coming, I will think that you are intending to attack the king. It’s unethical, you kid, there’s no need for you to exist anymore!”

Seeing that the roots were about to prick down, Hera hurriedly stood up and tried to snatch the swaddling clothes from her hands, but was restrained in place by the White Lady. She turned to look at the White King hurriedly.

She didn't believe that he could remain indifferent to her own flesh and blood.

To her disappointment, King Bai still looked at him indifferently, never leaving the throne.

Hera was in a desperate mood at this time. Her child was in danger. Since the White King was unkind, don't blame her for being unjust.

"I said! This child is the king's flesh and blood. I brought her here just to get her out of that miserable and dark environment."

"Don't hurt my child. Come at me if you have any problem!"

As she spoke, a large number of silk threads suddenly flew out of Hera's body, and they all attacked the White Lady, trying to kill the White Lady.

Mrs. Bai still looked down at the infant child, with an imperceptible smile on her lips.

The white lady didn't take any precautions against those sharp silk threads. She knew they couldn't touch her.

The White King held his hand in vain, and a huge force pushed down Hera and the silk threads together, but she did not give up. The silk threads crawled hard on the ground, crawling towards the White Lady like small snakes.

"Do you know what you just did? If my hand were even slightly off, your child would die on the spot."

Hera's eyes were red due to exerting too much force. At this moment, he suddenly froze and woke up, his hands trembling.

What on earth was she doing just now?

She almost killed her own child!

"My Queen, forgive me! Cao Min, please return Cao Min's child to Cao Min, just pretend that Cao Min has never been here."

Hera's voice was pleading, but the White Lady remained indifferent.

"Come when you want, leave when you want, just now you tried to harm Queen Hallownest's life, where do you think this is?"

This sentence came from the White King on the throne. He didn't know the purpose of Hera's coming this time, but her performance disappointed him.

This is not the temperament a leader should display.

"The king is right."

Mrs. White held the swaddle in her hands and slowly squatted next to Hera.

"You said this is the flesh and blood of you and the king, do you think I don't know?"

"The king is the king of Hallownest. I have no right to interfere with what he does. I am just a queen, and it is even more difficult for me to manage the affairs of the entire kingdom."

"As I said, I am just a queen, but just because I am the queen, I have to be aware of anyone who tries to do evil to the king."

Every time the White Lady said something more, Hera felt more regretful.

She shouldn't have come here. Now, not only might she die, but even her children would be affected by the stupid things she committed.

But Madam White's next words made her raise her head and stab the silk thread towards herself without a moment's hesitation.

"Let's do this. I will agree to your request on behalf of the king, but you have to pay the price."

"Kill yourself."
