Everyone Says I'm the Demon King [Unlimited]
Chapter 57 The Princess' Choice (End)
After the cardinal finished speaking, he looked at the opposite person with a bit of anticipation that he didn't know why.
However, Queen Catherine's face did not show surprise as he thought, but was rather thoughtful.
The cardinal was suddenly a little disappointed.
He didn't know what he was missing, what he was looking forward to.
Could it be that he still wants the person in front of him who is leaving soon to look at him with admiration?
Queen Catherine's thoughtfulness didn't last long, she quickly recovered her calm look, and said, "It's a good thing you can notice this."
"Fight for your goal. Maybe it can last for decades, maybe it will lose control of it after a long time, maybe one day, you will become us."
The cardinal was taken aback when he heard this.
Queen Catherine didn't look at him anymore, but turned around with a corner of her skirt and the staff in her hand, her dark eyes glanced at him before leaving:
"Good luck."
"Goodbye."
The fact that Queen Catherine had a short conversation with the kingdom's cardinal on the side of the Statue Square attracted little attention.
The flow of people on the square was like a flood flooding the river, and everyone was radiant and full of energy on the way back, and they firmly believed that this was a gift from Queen Catherine.
Except for those few people.
Prince Derek's face was gloomy, and he returned to the room specially for receiving him in the palace without saying a word.
He sat on a chair and listened to the envoy who came with him read the letter from the king of the neighboring country.
The letter was written by the father of this body, to the effect that he should return to the country immediately to report on the progress of the two countries in negotiating a plan to jointly resist the Bandit people, and to describe the whole process of the succession of the neighboring kings.
After Prince Derek listened to the contents of the letter, the expression on his face became even uglier.
The envoy was not afraid of the look on the other party's face. After all, he was also a high-ranking and experienced veteran of the neighboring country: "It did take a long time to come out, and the king seems to be pressing too hard. I don't know if Prince Derek is ready when do you come back?"
Derek took a deep breath.
In the heyday of his health, he could not successfully assassinate Princess Catherine, let alone the wound on his abdomen is not healed yet.
But in the current situation, plot killing seems impossible.
His mission has completely failed, so he might as well follow the NPC's guidance and complete the procedure on the last day of tomorrow, otherwise, if others suspect him, his loss will be worsened.
Prince Derek closed his eyes and said, "Since father is pressing you hard, pack up now and go back tonight."
He really didn't want to stay here anymore.
Just seeing Catherine's face was a reminder of his failure.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the other party didn't know that it was her who assassinated her.And now, Catherine should have realized that she is an enemy, but she should not be free to deal with him for the time being.
Better to leave early.
……
The sound of "dong dong dong" stomping footsteps came from the long corridor, which was particularly loud in the quiet space.
Regardless of the shouts from the maid behind her, Princess Mary walked quickly along the corridor with her skirt lifted as if to vent her anger.After returning to his room, he slammed the door shut with a loud bang. The vibration caused by the door could travel along the wall from the end of the corridor to the end of the corridor.
However, after closing the door, Princess Mary did not stop.
She grabbed everything she could grab in the room and threw it on the ground, such as vases with flowers, dressing boxes, dressing mirrors, pillows, quilts, clothes in the cabinet, etc.
The princess room, which was originally arranged in a dream, was destroyed in just a few minutes. The room was in a mess, the floor was full of broken mirror fragments, the corners of the dressing box, and the precious down filled in the soft pillow. Jewelry inlaid on the dress.
The mess in this place is the amount of money that an ordinary family in Wangcheng can't spend in a lifetime, it can feed thousands of homeless beggars for a year.
However, Princess Mary didn't know, or didn't care at all.
What does it matter to her whether the beggar patient outside the king's city is alive or dead, hungry or full, cold or hot?All she knew was that she was very angry now, very angry, wanted to vent, wanted to smash things.
Anyway, as a princess, she has been doted on since she was a child, and there will be more of these things when they are gone, but she can't be unhappy!
The queen came soon after hearing the news.
When she arrived, Princess Mary was sitting on the edge of the bed with red eyes and a grim expression.
Seeing that the queen was coming, Princess Mary finally couldn't hold back anymore, and roared in a crying voice: "Mother! That bitch Catherine stole my things!"
Those things were supposed to be hers!
That golden crown, that bright red cloak, the admiring gazes of those untouchables, those endless compliments, and Snow's attention!
When Mary thought of this, her face was distorted with hatred: "Why! Why is she on the throne?! It should have been mine! She only deserves to wear those yellow and old dresses, those outdated old clothes Jewelry, marry an old, ugly, and useless man, live a poor and humble life all your life, and always look up to me!"
"Why, why! Why is it her!"
When Mary thought of the unstoppable coronation ceremony this afternoon, the sound of cheers from the pariah, and Snow's undistracted gaze, she was so angry that her brain almost exploded.
If her mother hadn't warned her many times on the field, if she hadn't been frightened by the enthusiasm of the untouchables, if she hadn't watched the group of guards guarding her, she really wanted to strangle the woman who stole her things to death!
Mary's description was hideous and distorted, and her subordinates were desperately tugging at her skirt.The fine fabric was constantly ravaged by her, and it had already formed a wrinkled appearance that was difficult to restore.
The queen couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw her daughter, whom she had loved since childhood, become so angry.
She hugged the crying Princess Mary, pressed the other's head on her shoulder, patted the other's back like coaxing a child, and comforted: "Mary! Mary! My Little lamb! Don't be angry anymore! You are so sad, and mother is also sad!"
The queen felt the child on her shoulder cry bitterly, and reached out to touch the other's hair, promising with cold eyes: "Don't be sad, mother has already figured out a way to ensure that you will ascend to the throne in the future, and press down on that The heartless Snow came to marry you!"
When Princess Mary heard this, she raised her face that was already covered in tears, and looked at the queen anxiously: "Really? Is what you said true?!"
The queen nodded solemnly, touched the other person's face, and said softly: "My child, don't worry, so what if she ascends to the throne? Let her have a good time for two days, and when she relaxes her vigilance, I will arrange a killer Kill her in full view, and her lies will be self-defeating. At that time, who in the whole kingdom will dare to take your throne?!"
When Mary heard this, she seemed to have seen the scene where Catherine fell in the mud after being assassinated, her body was dirty.
Her heart was pounding, excited by her imagination.
Mary thought of this, and said again: "No! You can't let her die so cheaply. Give her a sigh of relief. At that time, I will torture her slowly and let her know the end of stealing my things!"
Seeing her sweetheart getting happy, the queen also showed a smile on her face: "It's all up to you."
The mother and daughter whispered excitedly again, and the queen ordered someone to come in and tidy up Princess Mary's room.
The queen stayed to sleep with Mary that day, and the two imagined and planned the beautiful days in their imagination.It was not until late at night that Mary fell asleep with excitement and continued her queen's career in her dream.
The night gradually deepened, and began to gradually fade again.
Except for the occasional ringing of the bell on the upper floor, and the voices of people talking when patrolling guards change shifts, the palace is very silent.
When the deepest night passed and the dawn dawned slightly in the east, Princess Mary woke up.
She has a habit of sleeping, and she will wake up once when it is dark.
Today she slept with the queen, and when she got up at night, she woke up the other party from her sleep.The queen murmured a few words, then waited with half-open eyes for her daughter's return.
When Mary finished using the bathroom and was about to go to bed, she caught a glimpse of an unusual light from the corner of her eye.
The light came from outside the window.
She usually sleeps soundly and will not be woken up by the morning light.In addition, the room she lived in was not facing the square like Catherine's, but facing the back garden of the palace, facing the rockery and the palace that was not usually used, so Mary didn't draw the curtains at night to avoid feeling bored.
In the hazy night and dim clouds, this fiery light was very conspicuous. Even if it was only a quick glimpse from the corner of the eye, it still frightened Mary.
She instinctively turned her head to look, and she heard the sound of windows shattering in her ears.
Immediately afterwards, a feathered arrow with a flame burning at the tail roared towards it, wrapped in strong wind.Before Princess Mary even yelled out, she was pierced through her shoulders and fell hard onto the bed.
The queen woke up frightened by this series of events. She looked at Mary who was nailed to the bed with a painful look, and rushed over, screaming loudly: "Come here... ah ah—"
A scream shook the morning silence of the court.
When the guards broke open the door, they saw a feathered arrow inserted into the bodies of Princess Mary and the Queen, and the arrows pierced through their bodies. The blood soaked Princess Mary's shoulders and the Queen's back, staining both of them. The pajamas fell viscously onto the sheets and bedding.
What is surprising is that the tail of this arrow is burning with flames, and there is no sign of it continuing to burn, nor does it show signs of extinguishing, but it is burning enthusiastically out of thin air, dazzling people's eyes in the dark room.
At this moment, amidst the howling voices of Princess Mary and the Queen, all the guards who heard the news thought of the prophecy Queen Catherine made in the square yesterday:
"I swear here that the real witch, the person who framed my father, the obstacle on the Kingdom's glorious road, will be punished by God, and will be pierced by the sun's arrow and die!"
Is this peculiar feathered arrow the Sun God Arrow?
After realizing this, the guards' eyes changed when they looked at Princess Mary and the Queen who were crying in pain.
They will never be queens and princesses again, but witches and sinners of the kingdom.
……
The borders of the two countries meet.
Prince Derek is riding a horse to a small border town in his own country, preparing to enter the country.
Not all members of the mission returned home, only he and a young envoy packed their bags and returned home, while the others stayed in neighboring countries to discuss cooperation matters.Therefore, the two of them did not take a carriage, but directly rode two horses to the royal city.
For this, Prince Derek regretted it a little at the moment.
Because he noticed that someone seemed to be following them.
In such an open-air environment with no cover, of course, the carriage is more effective in covering.
He just realized it, and the thought of regret was only a moment.
It's useless to regret now, we still have to see how the situation is.
Thinking of this, Derek glanced back secretly.
Then, he saw a feathered arrow coming through the air.
The tail of the arrow was burning with raging fire, which merged with the rising sun, and the intense light dazzled people's eyes.
The speed was so fast, accompanied by the whistling of the wind, before Derek had time to react, he was pierced through the heart by the feather arrow on the spot, and fell directly from the running horse to the ground.
He struggled to raise his head, and only had time to breathe out "Advanced Awakened" before falling back to the ground, unable to move anymore.
Only a pair of empty eyes were left to reflect the sky above his head.
However, Queen Catherine's face did not show surprise as he thought, but was rather thoughtful.
The cardinal was suddenly a little disappointed.
He didn't know what he was missing, what he was looking forward to.
Could it be that he still wants the person in front of him who is leaving soon to look at him with admiration?
