Hollow Knight: Hallownest

There are four people in the main hall, a king and a queen.

and a mother and her child.

Only there is no leader.

The pure white silk thread penetrates into the flesh, and every inch is bright red. Although it is painful and painful, the color of the face does not change.

Madam White originally thought that this race, which is famous for its wisdom, would be somewhat hesitant when it comes to the choice of her own life. But from the moment her voice fell, those threads pressed down by King White seemed to have no resistance, like roots. A sharp arrow pierced Hera's neck.

"Hera, why do you do this for a child?"

Lady White looked at Hera whose eyelids were slowly drooping, and sighed. It was not difficult for her to feel the passing of the breath of life. Hera actually didn't hold back at all, and the silk thread had already penetrated several inches into the flesh.

"Cao Min is willing to die to apologize. I only hope that the queen will forgive Cao Min for the offense just now, ignore the past grudges, and treat my child well."

"In this way, you will die without regrets."

Hera's words gradually became labored, and the threads also hung slightly due to her condition. From a distance, they seemed to be like hair growing naturally in her body.

The roots climbed up to Hera's neck, and while pulling out the silk thread that was deep inside, they emitted a faint light to heal Hera's wounds. In a moment, her dejected face turned a lot.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Word has been spoken, have you ever wanted to go back on it?"

Hera felt that Lady White's intention was that she was dissatisfied with her behavior just now, so she summoned more threads to stab herself.

The roots pressed those threads down, giving Hera no chance to use it again.

"As you said, the holy word has been spoken, and I will never go back on it."

Mrs. White stood up, hugged the baby and walked towards the throne, her voice no longer cold.

"I will raise your child for you, but you have to remember that from now on, it's not up to you."

"You are no longer the free Hera. Your life has already belonged to Hallownest."

"do you understand?"

Hera straightened up and knelt on the ground again, the dark red of her blood becoming vivid again.

"Caomin understands!"

When she raised her head, her face was soaked in blood and became terrifying, but at this time, there were no other emotions in her eyes, only gratitude to the queen.

"Let's go. I will not restrict your child's freedom, but from now on, you are not allowed to step into the palace again because of your child. Leave after you think clearly."

Hera pushed herself up and walked out three steps at a time. Her determination seemed as if the child had nothing to do with her.

But just when she was about to leave the palace, she couldn't help but look back at the baby in Madam Bai's arms, but it was only that one glance, and then she disappeared into the palace.

"Madam, why is this so?"

Although King Bai's face was as calm as a lake, there were still some waves in his heart. Just when Hera inserted the silk thread into his neck and his life was quickly passing away, he felt very uneasy.

But he still didn't dare to stop Mrs. White, because he was at fault in this matter.

She originally thought that Hera would enjoy this time in the nest after giving birth to the child, but she actually came with the child in her arms and made the request in front of the White Lady.

The clay figurine still has some anger, let alone the queen of Hallownest.

"Madam, are you still angry with me?"

Seeing that Mrs. Bai didn't answer him, King Bai asked carefully again.

"The king is overly worried. As I said, what the king did was definitely not for his own selfish desires, but for the prosperity of Hallownest. If this is the case, how can I love my son and daughter and ignore the overall safety?"

Mrs. White's aura at this time was no longer as impressive as after Hera left. She was as calm as before, looking at the infant child with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

"But what I did just now..."

The White King had told her before about the promise obtained by combining with Hera, but what the White Lady did just now seemed to have left this matter behind.

"Your Majesty, the authorities are deluded. Everything is no longer as the King imagined."

"I know that the king was angry and disappointed with Hera just now, just like her performance exceeded the king's expectations. From the moment the child appeared in my arms, Hera was no longer the leader she was before."

"In other words, she has a more important identity, that is, she is the mother of this child."

"Can the king guarantee that Hera's mood will be the same after the child appears?"

The White King was silent for a long time after hearing this. Indeed, as the White Lady said, he has not focused on Hera since the deal was concluded. Once she has concerns in her heart, the seal of the Dream Keeper will inevitably be affected. , now that I think about it, it’s scary to think about it.

"Fortunately, Hera took the initiative to come, which saved me a lot of effort. After this incident, Hera's heart is no longer blocked, and the king's plan can be implemented with confidence."

Madam Bai smiled slightly, and King Bai realized that everything she had done just now was within her expectation, and the way she looked just now actually deceived him into it.

"Alas, having such a good wife as my wife is like adding more arms and sealing the plan. There is no need to worry that it will not succeed."

King Bai sighed, feeling more and more guilty for his previous actions. He stood up and put his hand around Mrs. Bai's waist, silently.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to dwell on the past. Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters, right?"

"But I am ashamed of you after all. I swear here that I will never do such unfaithful things in the future."

"And what's next?"

......

"Bro, bro..."

"Dude!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Ida spoke several times in succession until she raised her voice and called out Mo Rong, who was lost in thought.

The two of them had been searching for a long time, thinking that Mo Rong had been pushed to some nook and cranny. It was not until they went to the lounge that they found Mo Rong sitting there blankly, as if he had lost his soul.

It's not his fault. Just when Bai's voice sounded in his heart not long ago, a memory that didn't belong to him crazily poured into his mind.

Loneliness, fear, despair.

He could read these emotions from that dark memory, just like the Dream Nail that struck the Black Egg of the Abyss in the game before, but now he could feel it personally, as if he was also the one who died. A member of the Yunyun container.

"Has the container manufacturing plan actually ended?"

Mo Rong followed the two of them and walked all the way towards the hall, but his pace couldn't help but slow down a lot because of thinking.

He originally thought that the occurrence of such a major event would be accompanied by some obvious omens or characteristics, but he did not expect that King Bai would accomplish such a 'feat' quietly.

What happens next will probably go like a game. The seniors grow up, the radiation is sealed, and the plague is leaked...

He began to doubt whether King Bai was doing the right thing.
