One Piece Redemption

The 1500 years in the castle were boring and lonely.The queen didn't want to think about those years at all, but the queen never thought that she would dream of that old castle one day.

This afternoon, everyone became a little excited because of the upcoming battle, especially Inoue was trembling all the time, and the pitiful look made the Queen couldn't help but look sideways at him. Seeing Inoue trembling, being hugged in Mr. Cole's arms and comforted gently, the Queen finally felt why this scene was so familiar: ... Isn't this routine the same as what she did to that man named Fengjuro Sakurai? Is that what the little boy did?

Without the men present noticing it, the two ladies communicated quietly with their eyes. The following is the translation of their eyes.

Queen (calmly): Did you change your target?

Inoue (a group of people who seem to be flustered, but are actually as stable as old dogs): Hee hee, that's right!People suddenly feel that Mr. Chef is also someone else's dish!So let's do it~~!

Queen (sarcastically): Why are you pretending to be weak? Can't you tell that you are trembling with excitement when you are a concubine?Do you think Mr. Cole can stand it with your temperament?Besides, don't you feel embarrassed?It's still the same old way.

Inoue (Nine out of ten): Don't worry!Mr. Chef is not a fragile man like the kid before!It will definitely be good to others~!Besides, routines are not new or novel, but whether they can make the prey hooked~ As long as the prey can fall into my trap, isn't it a good routine...

Queen (looking away): Up to you.

So without the knowledge of the men present, the eye contact between the two women ended like this.While Mr. Cole was in a hurry coaxing the girl he didn't know when to put on his mind, the queen stood up calmly and faced the red-haired man who was talking to the deputy captain about the next battle. Nodding his head, he turned and went upstairs.

The moment the queen looked at him, the red hair stopped communicating with the vice-captain. After watching the queen walk back to his room step by step, he withdrew his gaze and turned to the vice-captain who was looking narrowly at him. He smiled, and continued talking about the topic just now.

After Hong Mao dealt with all the matters, more than two hours had passed. Hong Mao sighed and went to the kitchen to bring a dessert that the Queen liked more, and was going to stay for a while. Time to pass to the Queen.However, what he didn't expect was that after knocking on the door outside for a long time, the Queen never opened the door for him.The red-haired man thought of all kinds of things that happened to his pirate group in the recent period, and couldn't help becoming anxious. At first, he thought it was because those guys did some targeted things to make the Queen appear. There was something wrong, so he hurriedly took out the spare key on the ship, found the one that belonged to the queen's room, opened the door and walked in.

But I didn't expect that I ran in with a nervous face, and what I saw was the sleeping queen's side face. The red hair stared blankly for a while, and couldn't help laughing, feeling that I was also fooled by those pirates recently. Got mentally sensitive.The red hair gently placed the plate of dessert on the Queen's bedside table, then gently kissed the Queen's frowning brows, which seemed to be dreamed of something unstable, and then turned and left. The door is closed here.

So what did the sleeping queen dream about?

The queen was standing outside the gate of the castle at this time, looking at the gorgeous sea of ​​mandala flowers in front of her in a daze.

Looking at the sea of ​​mandala flowers that had been ordered to be removed by the deacon who raised her because she was dissatisfied with the queen's preference for mandala after she had awakened her bloodline, the queen couldn't help but feel a sense of both. Familiar and unfamiliar emotions, the things I used to like so much, have gradually faded out of my heart during the long 1500 years. Now when I see this sea of ​​flowers again, I still love it, but there is no more Looking at this sea of ​​flowers when I was still young and ignorant is the kind of dazzling and happy emotion.

"...it blooms so well." The queen walked slowly into the sea of ​​flowers, gently touching the slender and scarlet petals with her fingertips, and there was a tranquility between her brows: "...this Is it a dream of the past... This sea of ​​flowers actually still exists..."

"Lord Ruhr, I finally found you! I knew that if you couldn't find you in the castle, you would definitely be here to take care of this sea of ​​flowers!" A cheerful voice came into the Queen's ears, Broke the queen's mind.The queen quietly shifted her gaze from the mandala to the ordinary vampire who appeared here at some unknown time, looking happily at the handsome and elegant man who also appeared at some unknown time.

"The king is calling you over. He said he has something to explain to you." After saying this, the vampire waiter bent down and saluted the deacon in black. After nodding, he retreated obediently, leaving only the man still squatting in the sea of ​​flowers in a daze, looking at the bloody mandala blooming wantonly in front of him, the man's eyes do not know what A dim light surged from time to time, as if he was sighing or regretting, he muttered to himself: "...It's been more than 700 years...Your Majesty...why haven't you come back..."

The queen was silent, she just quietly watched the elegant man who had followed and served her for hundreds of years took out from her pocket a small porcelain bottle that she had bestowed on him a hundred years ago, and watched silently. Looking at the man talking to himself sentence by sentence into the small porcelain bottle.

"My Eternal Majesty... How are you doing now? Your Majesty has obeyed your orders and supported the son of Lisa to become the 14th generation blood king. He has been in power for more than 700 years. During this period, the strength of the blood clan Although he didn't continue to rise, he didn't go down either. In this respect, he is a moderate king. He didn't have the drastic reforms that his mother brought to the blood race, and he wasn't as decisive as your killing. Fortunately, here For more than 700 years, the blood clans who have been following you and dedicated their loyalty have all supported the king you appointed, and the blood clan is still thriving and moving forward, so you don't have to worry about it."

"My eternal majesty... I haven't seen you for more than 700 years... Maybe it's disrespectful to your majesty, but I still thought about it more than once, if I stopped your majesty's decision at the beginning and didn't let you Your Majesty left here in that teleportation array... If you are here, you don't need to be separated from Your Majesty for so long, if you are still serving Your Majesty, if you are... still..."

"...my eternal queen...my majesty...have you done something unforgivable? Shouldn't you have such selfish and greedy thoughts in the first place? Shouldn't you have expected you to be able to Always be with Your Majesty? No one can separate Your Majesty from Your Majesty?..."

The queen closed her eyes silently. Before this, the queen never knew his thoughts on her, nor did she know why she dreamed of this person in front of her, but the queen didn't feel disgusted or offended. After hundreds of years of getting along with each other, the queen has long been used to the way this person whispers in front of her. If she hadn't met Shanks, if she hadn't left here because of the teleportation array... The queen thought, maybe, she In the end, I will choose to be with Ruhr...

But how can there be so many ifs in this world?What you miss is what you miss, and no matter how hard you look back, there is no way to get it back.

Ruhr didn't know that today he was tossing and reflecting, the person who couldn't sleep at night was by his side, he just continued to hold the only thing left to him by his Majesty the Queen - a small small porcelain bottle, that is When the queen was very interested in Chinese porcelain for a period of time after she came to power, she bought it from a porcelain merchant from China. The queen liked to play with this porcelain vase very much. Once she stared blankly at the queen's hand in a daze. But it didn't occur to the queen that she misunderstood that she liked the small porcelain bottle in her hand, so she gave it to herself as a reward.Whenever I recalled the queen whom I respected and loved so much that I struggled with loyalty and affection every day and night, I would take it out and carefully play with it, as if I could feel the warmth of the queen again. Like cool fingertips.

"Your Majesty, do you like this sea of ​​flowers?" Ruhr stared blankly at the porcelain bottle in his hand and asked softly.

"..." The queen remained silent, and the gentle voice of the man who had served her for hundreds of years kept ringing in her ears: "I remember that you liked mandala very much when you were young, and you would even sneak out often. In order to look at the blooming mandala. Unfortunately, at the end of the sea of ​​flowers, it was destroyed by the order of my brother who didn't know how to change it at all... At that time, you... lost so much that I feel sorry for you."

"Since you left, Your Majesty, I have planted the remaining living flower seedlings here, and I have taken care of this sea of ​​flowers just like taking care of you, even longer than taking care of you... ...I have been taking care of this sea of ​​flowers for more than 700 years... But even so, I will always take care of this sea of ​​flowers forever, until I can no longer take care of it..."

"...so stupid." The coldness in the queen's eyes was slowly melted, her fingers gently touched the gorgeous blood-colored mandala blooming on the ground, and said softly.

"...Maybe if you are here, you will definitely say that I am stupid again..." As if hearing the Queen's voice, the man smiled softly: "But I hope that if His Majesty comes back one day, you can See this sea of ​​flowers."

"...In that case, my eternal majesty...wouldn't you be happier?"

The wind gently blew across the boundless sea of ​​flowers, and the blood-colored mandala nodded gently at the man, as if the queen's softened eyes were watching the man.The man silently showed a heartbreakingly gentle smile, carefully stroked the mandala that was gently swaying towards him, and said softly: "...I should go see the 14th generation king, Your Majesty, Tian Shi It's late, I hope His Majesty has a good dream."

The man gently put the small porcelain bottle back on his chest, just like what the queen had seen for hundreds of years, and walked into the castle gracefully and calmly.
