Hollow Knight: Hallownest

During the battle in Black Worm, the five knights suffered varying degrees of injuries, but fortunately they did not suffer any permanent injuries. As long as they had enough time to recuperate, their recovery was only a certainty.

Not many people know about this matter. Most people just think that there has been a change in the abyss, but they don't know that it was caused by a giant beast. When the White King and others returned, the void matter that floated up to the White Palace also gradually decrease, gradually disappear.

"Congratulations on your triumphant return!"

Above the main hall, all the ministers of the White Palace gathered under His Highness. They looked at King Bai before he set up the throne, with respect and admiration in their eyes. King Bai's expression was as indifferent as ever, but he was a little confused in his heart.

Unless there is an important matter to discuss, the ministers are rarely summoned to the main hall.

But when the White Lady came from outside the hall, he immediately understood that she had done this.

"See Your Majesty."

This sentence was lifeless, and the atmosphere was alienated, as if the two were just passers-by. Everyone in the hall had strange expressions. Since the queen returned from the abyss a few days ago, she seemed to have become a different person. The kindness and approachability in her body before The intimacy gradually faded away, replaced by the indelible sadness lingering around her.

Madam Bai did not hide this emotion deliberately, which led to the fact that everyone did not know the cause of the matter, but they did not dare to talk to the queen.

King Bai nodded. Although he also noticed something strange about Mrs. Bai, he did not intend to find out the reason now.

He could guess that it was probably because of the container.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you."

The White Lady did not move to the side of the White King, but still stood on the same spot, looking at him and said.

King Bai hesitated for a moment and then slowly said: "Say."

"The king has established diplomatic relations with Wu En for many years, and has never sent relevant personnel to station in Canglu. Although this move reflects the king's generosity, things are unpredictable, so we should take precautions in the bud."

"I implore the king to allow me to be stationed abroad, so that I can show the respect of the white palace to the green."

After the words fell, King Bai had not yet replied, but everyone in His Highness suddenly exploded.

"Queen, no! These matters should be left to our subjects. How can we let you suffer for no reason?"

"Yes, Queen, please think twice! Diplomacy is our responsibility, how dare we ask the Queen to do it for us?"

"Queen, please think twice!"

The noisy comments were all intended to dissuade the White Lady from leaving, but despite everyone's constant persuasion, the White Lady's expression remained unchanged at all. She just looked at the White King, waiting for his answer.

"quiet!"

King Bai opened his lips lightly, and a bell-like voice resounded through the hall, and the noisy environment instantly became quiet.

"Although the green environment is rarely dangerous, it still lags behind the palace."

"I ask you again, do you still insist on your request?"

Staying abroad is false, leaving is true.

How could King Bai fail to hear the hidden meaning in Mrs. White's words? He knew that his lies had really angered the gentle woman in front of him, but the deal was already done and there was no chance to go back on his words.

In the second half of the sentence, only Lady White could sense that the king of Hallownest in front of her had a rare hint of pleading in his tone.

Is this an apology to her? Ask her to forgive her past deception?

There was no fluctuation in Madam Bai's eyes. She nodded and said affirmatively: "Your Majesty, please grant me permission."

After being silent for a moment again, King Bai took a deep breath.

"Since you have decided to leave and are dedicating yourself to Hallownest, how can I stop your good intentions."

"The queen has entered Canglu. As you said, we have given Canglu the greatest respect."

"I agreed."

The eyes of all His Highnesses were filled with astonishment. You must know that in their eyes, the White King and the White Lady, apart from their status as the King and Queen of Hallownest, are a loving couple that they envy. They all thought that the King would accept Lady White's request to be stationed abroad. Refuse without hesitation, or tactfully, but in short, I will not agree.

But King Bai just asked again and nodded in agreement, but now they couldn't understand.

Everyone in His Highness remained silent. Since King Bai had already spoken, it would be disrespectful for them to stop him any further, so they had no choice but to say in unison: "The Queen is righteous!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission."

Madam Bai lowered her eyes, slowly turned around and left the main hall. King Bai looked at her leaving back, and a touch of relief gradually appeared in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the palace became quite depressed because of this matter, and King Bai didn't want to continue like this. When he was about to disperse His Highness's ministers, a guard suddenly broke in from outside the palace. He looked panicked and hesitated to speak.

"Bold! How dare you break into the main hall without permission?!"

Facing this uninvited guest, some of the ministers, who were sullen in their hearts, did not hesitate to scold the guard, but the guard did not stop for even a moment until he knelt down not far from King Bai.

"Your Majesty! I have something important to tell you in the main city! Please forgive me for trespassing on the main palace!"

"What's the matter?"

"main city......"

The guard was about to say something, but he looked around at the many ministers who were staring at him, and then closed his mouth. This move added fuel to the fire, making the already angry ministers even more angry.

"It's okay. Don't worry. The most loyal ministers in Hallownest are all in this palace. What do you have to worry about?"

After King Bai's words, His Highness's ministers felt much better, and the guard finally spoke hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, the watchman in the main city has caught a thug and doesn't know how to deal with it. I hope to leave it to the king to decide."

"thug?"

King Bai frowned. How could such a thing be considered important?

A large number of travelers come to the City of Tears every day. Whether they are from this land or come from the outside world, all kinds of people will appear in the city. One can see the destination of the pilgrims and the heart of Hallownest. bustling.

Among the tens of thousands of travelers, it is normal for some people with evil intentions to appear. However, under the supervision of Watcher Lurian, even if someone wants to cause destruction in the city or harm the safety of the residents of Hallownest, they will be killed. was discovered immediately.

Life or death, it's all up to Lurien.

"Yes...yes, Your Majesty."

"Then just leave it to Lu Ruien to handle it. Why should I leave this small matter to my decision?"

The guard raised his head slightly and looked at King Bai with a troubled expression. After taking a deep breath, he slowly and tremblingly explained the reason.

And the moment he said it, not only the many ministers of His Highness, but also King Bai seemed to be distracted for a moment.

"King...King, that thug...he broke into the Soul Sanctuary."

"Killed...killed Lord Soumas!"
