The Unemployed Demon Lord

midnight.

There was silence in the palace.

Outside Her Majesty's bedroom door.

Masefield waited here, waiting to be called.

Elizabeth passed out directly in the hall because she was too emotional.

Afterwards, he was sent here directly, and the court therapist was summoned, and now he is diagnosing Queen Elizabeth.

Masefield lowered his head, his face was gloomy, he bit his lip and said nothing, his mind was full of the hateful figure of Elgin the Great Swordsman.

If it weren't for this bastard, Her Majesty the Queen wouldn't have been so worried and willing to take risks, and in the end her spirit was severely injured and she fell into a depression.

Even Masefield herself was affected, and her position was in jeopardy because of the failure of this operation.

Up to now, Masefield can recall Queen Elizabeth looking at himself before fainting, full of extreme distrust.

This is absolutely fatal for a knight. If he cannot gain the trust of the monarch, there is basically no need for him to exist!

Masefield felt that she had been harmed by Elgin Great Swordsman. This failure was a fatal blow to herself, and her spirit became a little sluggish. She felt that she had failed Her Majesty's expectations and was really not worthy of continuing to be the first knight. It's better to go home and farm.

It can't be blamed that Masefield's heart is too fragile to bear the slightest blow.

But most people will feel deep despair after seeing Elgin's great swordsman's strength with their own eyes, give up the mentality of resistance, lament their own weakness, and doubt their humble life.

Just think about Morrison, the Seventh Knight. What a good-hearted guy. After seeing Elgin's great swordsman, the black elf cadre, he surrendered to the enemy on the spot, helped the enemy speak, and wanted to be drawn to the same camp.

Masefield also had to admit that there was a big gap in strength between himself and Elgin Great Swordsman, and it was difficult to compete on the same stage. He was full of despair and had to admit that Morrison's approach was correct.

It is obviously very unwise for Queen Elizabeth and Elgin to be tough now, and they even look like they are looking for death.

Although Masefield agrees with Her Majesty's tough attitude and will never give in to outlaws, she always feels that the current approach is very unwise and full of willfulness. It is almost the same personality as Her Majesty's twin sister, but it is unpredictable.

Masefield felt that Queen Elizabeth was a little bit blinded by power, she could no longer see the situation clearly, and she was becoming more and more unscrupulous in her actions.

But these things, as a subordinate, it is not easy for Masefield to clearly point out, so he can only choose to remain silent.

Masefield was a little puzzled, why did His Majesty become like this now?Sure enough, it was the death of her twin sister that dealt a heavy blow to her and changed her temperament drastically.

Apart from this reason, Masefield could not find any other factors for the change of Queen Elizabeth's character.

When Elizabeth was a girl, Masefield entered the palace and served as her close knight for many years.

At that time, Elizabeth seemed very kind and compassionate, full of compassion for everything, and did not exclude poor people.

Even when getting along with Masefield, he didn't have any airs of a crown prince. Instead, Shi Chang pretended to be his sister and made her happy.

Masefield liked His Majesty at that time very much and was willing to protect her with his life.

Until the death of Elizabeth's twin sister, Isabella, she suddenly changed her mood, as if she had changed overnight.

He is easily irritable, and his eyes will become fierce. He has no mercy for disobedient people, and even rejects the poor, trying to wipe them all out.

Masefield did not like this Her Majesty, as Elizabeth looked more and more like her dead sister.

squeak

The door of the dormitory was slowly pushed open, and a white-haired old man came out, apparently the court therapist in charge of treating the Queen.

Masefield hurried forward and asked patiently, "How is it?"

Palace therapist: "There is no serious problem for the time being, it's just that His Majesty is in a bad mood. After some proper counseling, there will be no problem."

Masefield breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's good."

Palace therapist: "Master Masefield, His Majesty seems to want to see you. After you enter, try not to disobey His Majesty, and pay attention to channeling her emotions."

"Uh..." Masefield was stunned. Now she doesn't want to face Her Majesty the Queen, but she can't see her...

◇

In the bedroom.

Masefield entered here and saw Queen Elizabeth sitting on a silk velvet bed, looking out the window at midnight.

"His Majesty……"

Masefield knelt down on one knee, called out, and looked very respectful, ready to be scolded.

"I thought about it, and I don't blame you for this incident. After all, no one can predict the unexpected situation." Queen Elizabeth said lightly, this is just a superficial rhetoric, so that Masefield can continue to work for herself .

"Hmm..." Masefield's expression became unnatural, and she felt that the less Her Majesty punished her, the more uncomfortable she felt, so she took the initiative to ask for punishment, "Don't say that, Your Majesty, I intend to resign from the position of Thorn Knight. Go straight back to your hometown to live."

Queen Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, and looked at Masefield, "What are you talking about? Are you going to take the blame and resign for this blow?"

"I have humiliated you, Your Majesty. This is my irreparable fault. Resignation is already the lightest punishment." Masefield said seriously, feeling that he had to do this, otherwise he would be stained and not Face continued to stay in the Bauhinia Knights.

"No need to do this, how many years have you been with me? More than ten years? If you leave suddenly, I will feel uncomfortable, isn't it just a failure? What's the big deal, we haven't failed completely yet, haven't we?" Queen Elizabeth said lightly It seems that the mood has stabilized a lot.

Masefield didn't speak, but kept silent, thinking that in the face of a powerful existence like Elgin's great swordsman, we have obviously lost, why does Her Majesty the Queen still refuse to admit this?

"Masefield, do you really feel guilty?" Queen Elizabeth asked, looking at her.

"Yes..." Masefield admitted his fault without raising his head.

"Now I'll give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. If you succeed, I won't blame you for your mistakes." Queen Elizabeth narrowed her eyes.

"You..." Masefield raised his head and asked suspiciously, "What are you going to do?"

"We want to confuse the public and create a fake Elgin Great Swordsman to replace him." Queen Elizabeth showed a sinister smile on her face.

"Eh?!" Masefield's eyes widened, and he exclaimed for a while, thinking

Get a fake Elgin Great Swordsman to replace him! ?

This... what kind of show operation is this?

Where can I find someone who can rival the Great Swordsman? !

Chapter 2: Monthly Ticket Addition

Masefield felt that Queen Elizabeth's strategy was very insecure.

One is that Elgin's great swordsman is too powerful, and it is difficult to find someone who can match him.

If the public doesn't believe it, let the fake Elgin great swordsman show his strength, it will be easy to reveal his truth.

Now in the eyes of the public, Elgin's great swordsman's strength is almost a god. If he doesn't meet the requirements, he will definitely not agree.

In the end, it will lead to a crisis of public trust in the royal family. No one believes what the royal family said, causing turmoil in the empire.

The second is Masefield's personal reasons. She is too upright and disdains such things at all. She plays some intrigues and tricks to look bad. Her arrogance as a knight makes it difficult for her to do some humble things. It's just an insult to myself.

"Your Majesty, is this inappropriate?"

"Oh? What's wrong?" Queen Elizabeth frowned, as if she didn't like people who contradicted her.

"The Great Swordsman Elgin is extremely powerful. If you want to recruit someone to replace him, you need equal strength. To be honest, I think it is very difficult to find such a person within the empire..." Masefield said Very tactful, try not to touch the sensitive part of the Queen.

"Masefield, you have to understand that we just need to find someone to replace him and pretend to be Elgin Great Swordsman. Strength doesn't matter at all. The important thing is to let everyone know that Elgin Great Swordsman is standing on the royal family's side. Absolutely not some righteous knight who wanders outside the royal power..." Queen Elizabeth paused, showing a smug smile, and continued, "Who made this Elgin great swordsman like to hide his identity? Still unwilling to show up? We can just fully Take advantage of this, completely empty this bastard, and become a warrior of our royal family, so that my rule will be consolidated again, and the empire will become more stable..."

Masefield frowned, feeling very disapproving of this approach in his heart, feeling that it was too despicable and shameless.

The dignified ruler of an empire is actually thinking about how to use intrigues to consolidate his rule?

This is shameless, how did His Majesty become like this now?Where did that innocent and kind man go? !

Could time really be the culprit that destroys everything and completely changes a person from the inside out?

Although Masefield felt that this method was feasible, she herself disagreed very much, and simply fooled the people as idiots.

"But the gap in strength is hard to hide at all, isn't it? It won't work at all."

"It's not that simple. You're not strong enough. You just have to act to make up for it. Don't you understand such a simple truth?" Elizabeth smiled knowingly. She had already thought of everything and made a very detailed plan.

"Acting?" Masefield's eyes widened, feeling a little unbelievable, thinking that acting could cover up his lack of strength?how is this possible! ?And this is even more obvious deception!Why is Your Majesty, as the king of a country, willing to do such a despicable thing? !

"That's right, let's find a few strong men to cooperate with at random, and let the person who plays Elgin Great Swordsman beat them on purpose, won't it be able to bring out that the fake Elgin Great Swordsman is also very powerful?" Queen Elizabeth looked at May Sfield continued, "And what do these ignorant people know? They only know that the great swordsman Elgin is a hero. Well, we will label this hero as a royal family, and we will definitely not be the ones who suffer in the end."

"Uh……"

Masefield was stunned, and felt that it was really shameless to do this, and actually wanted to perform such a farce.

And the danger of doing so is also very high. In case Elgin Great Swordsman really gets angry, his own strength is really unstoppable by visual inspection.

It seems that His Majesty has really become more and more greedy for profit, and was forced to this point by a ranger.

If these things are revealed, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it will cause turmoil within the empire.

Masefield wanted to stop His Majesty from thinking, and didn't want to make things more complicated and difficult to end.

"But if you do this, it may cause the real Elgin Great Swordsman to be annoyed. If he kills him, I'm afraid it will end badly..."

"Wouldn't that be better?" Queen Elizabeth said suddenly, the smile on her face gradually becoming mysterious.

"Eh?!" Masefield's expression became shocked, wondering if he didn't explain Elgin's great swordsman's strength?If provoking is definitely fatal, why does His Majesty seem to be very happy?

"If this mysterious swordsman really dares to appear, he will fall into the biggest trap I have set." Elizabeth paused, a hint of ferocity flashed in her eyes, "We will kill the great swordsman Elgin directly, without mercy !"

"Uh……"

Masefield frowned. She didn't expect Her Majesty to ask someone to pretend to be Elgin's great swordsman as a cover. In the end, she wanted to kill him, but the opponent was so strong, who could kill him?

"Your Majesty, you... who do you plan to let kill Elgin the Great Swordsman, even I am no match for that man."

"If you can't do it alone, you can call other Thorn Knights. I don't believe it. So many people can't hold Elgin Great Swordsman!" Queen Elizabeth said viciously.

"With the strength of Elgin's great swordsman, even if we have a few Thorn Knights together..." Masefield continued with some embarrassment. After seeing the strength of this hot man with his own eyes, what he said to Morrison was somewhat Believe.

Even if several Thorn Knights were united, it might be difficult to instantly kill the man who was the overlord more than 30 years ago.

"It's okay, I still have another candidate, this candidate can definitely defeat Elgin Great Swordsman..." Queen Elizabeth said confidently.

"Who is this person?" Masefield asked suspiciously.

"It's the president of the Royal Capital Adventurers Guild, Gregory, an extremely powerful purple-gold adventurer." Elizabeth paused, then said lightly, "Although adventurers will not accept commissions with political factors, in my opinion In order to save face, Gregory can use his own name to come out and help us solve the difficult guy."

"Gregory..."

Masefield muttered to himself, thinking of the extremely mysterious guy in the capital, an old monster who had lived for 400 years. Since the founding of Great Britain, the royal family had been closely related to this magician who controlled the power of the black hole.

The weird black hole magic is even more irresistible. It seems that it can kill anything. It is said that it can even swallow time! ?
