Laura seemed to have spent a very long time in a dim world. She could not recall or describe what kind of place it was. She only felt that countless painful things were always surrounding her. She could not tell whether the pain came from her body or her mind. She also did not remember what kind of experience they were.
She only knew that she had always wanted to escape from here, but she couldn't get out, so she could only wait bitterly.
There were countless times when she wanted to give up. She knew that if she did nothing and just fell asleep in this world, it would be the easiest thing to do.
But another thought told him that he couldn't do this. There were some things, things she couldn't remember, that were her most important purpose here.
It was not until a strange magical energy cut through the chaotic world that enveloped her that her consciousness gradually gathered and her ability to think was reopened.
She felt a force lifting her up, and gradually she felt that she had escaped from the painful and chaotic state, and gained unprecedented relaxation. It was as if all the things that bound her and restricted her disappeared at that moment.
The things around her were no longer empty illusions; they slowly took shape, forming a scene before her eyes.
In one tent she saw three men and a child.
The man in the lead was none other than Xiao Chen, her biggest enemy whom she had wanted to eliminate countless times.
And that little boy was her brother, Prince Javier, whom she had always wanted to release from house arrest.
But when she saw them, she didn't feel any hatred or disgust. On the contrary, she was sincerely happy that she had finally managed to escape the siege of those monsters and finally met the person she wanted to see.
"Mr. Xiao Chen, in the days when this continent is in the greatest suffering, we two can finally talk face to face..." After saying this, Laura was stunned. She found that her voice was very strange, and it was different from what she had heard before.
Xiao Chen and the other two men looked at her with some pity, and Javier actually had some sadness in his expression when he looked at her.
She subconsciously looked at her body, and was shocked to find that her body was translucent. Under this body, another her was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. That her body was covered with wounds and looked dying.
"Queen Laura, your physical condition is very bad and can no longer be saved, but you must be here for a reason. I think I should give you a chance to finish what you have not said."
"Am I going to die?" Laura covered her mouth with her hands, looking incredulous.
"I'm afraid so. When we found you, your body had been buried under the rubble for two days. The festering wounds on your body had infected all parts of your body. We couldn't save you. If you have anything to say, just tell us now." Xiao Chen said.
"I..." Although it was just a phantom, Laura's chest was heaving violently. It took her a while to come back to her senses. "I'm here to ask you to save the residents of the kingdom.
We were completely unprepared for the disaster in the city of God. Many cities in the kingdom have been severely hit. Countless residents' homes have been destroyed, and many people are now trapped in shelters. I... want you to save them. Because as their queen, I can't do this. I beg you, for the sake of us all being human, to save them. "
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. He never thought that the queen came here to seek help from the Tower of China. He originally guessed that the queen had failed in the political struggle and had nowhere to go, so she ended up like this. He didn't expect that she would still have a little thought and care about her people. He said, "This is what we would have done. Our army has already moved here and started to eliminate the monsters wandering on the continent. Whether you have a request or not, we regard every human on the continent as a member of the human race. Do you have any other requests besides this?"
"After you rescue them, what will you do with the land and the people on it? Will the Kingdom of Iberia still exist?" Queen Laura changed her aggressive attitude in the past and asked carefully, "I may die soon, but Javier is the legitimate heir to the kingdom. I dare not expect him to have absolute power to rule such a large kingdom. I only hope to keep the name of the kingdom and give him a small fiefdom. Let this country not be cut off in our generation..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Javier interrupted Laura. "I don't want to be a king. I am now a diligent student in the Tower of China. I want to be a wizard and scientist who explores the truth. I don't want to be a king at all. I feel that the existence of the Iberian Kingdom has no meaning."
"Javier, how can you speak like that? Who taught you these things? Is the family heritage and the value of the throne worthless in your eyes?"
"Yes, it is worthless. You have long been blinded by power, and no one has told you how backward the feudal kingdom is. You have no idea how corrupt those royal family members, nobles, and wizards in the Wizard Tower are. They stand on high ground without doing anything, and do not regard the people below as human beings. They suck their blood and live a luxurious life. But what happened when the disaster came? They didn't care about those people at all and ran away.
I don't want to be one of you, it makes me sick."
Laura was stunned. She asked Xiao Chen, "What did you do to him? Did you use magic to control his will?"
"You think too much. What Javier said is what he thinks. We don't need to control him as a puppet. He is just a child with some magical talent. I brought him here just to meet you as a relative. There is no other meaning." Xiao Chen said calmly: "The blood, inheritance and orthodoxy that are important to you are of no use to us. Your kingdom has collapsed, and the country reorganized by us will never be the same as before. Without the royal family and nobles, it is meaningless to mention the kingdom again."
"how so… "
"Our legitimacy comes from the support of the people, so we will not give up on any of the people on this continent and will work hard to rescue them. But this has nothing to do with your wishes and instructions. It is our natural mission." Xiao Chen turned and walked towards the door. "Let's leave the last moments to you two, brother and sister."
