"Did Colin Angelet go in?"
Standing on the balcony, Queen Midara asked softly.
It's just that there is no one else around her, and she seems to be talking to the air.
However, in the next second, there was a sudden fluctuation in the shadows where the sun could not reach, and a black armored knight walked out.
He seems to have mastered some kind of special concealment technique, which can completely merge with the darkness, making his existence undetectable.
It is rumored that the emperor of the empire is guarded by two personal guards, one light and the other dark.
The bright one is the captain of the Imperial Guard—Knight Erich, while the dark one has been kept mysterious.
Only a few people know of his existence.
But these people don't know his name, they only know that he follows the emperor like a shadow, so he is also called the shadow knight.
But now, the emperor's shadow knight is not guarding the emperor.
"Go in." The Shadow Knight replied, his eyes wandering greedily over Queen Midella's enchanting body.
Queen Midella turned her head, not caring about the shadow knight's gaze, and even threw a provocative look on purpose.
The shadow knight's Adam's apple rolled, and his breathing suddenly became rapid:
"When will you fulfill what you promised me?"
"Don't worry." Queen Midella smiled charmingly, and comforted her, "Are you still worried that I will go back on my word?"
"I can't wait!" The shadow knight stepped forward, stepping from the shadows into the sunlight.
As if he was not used to the temperature and brilliance of the light, he immediately narrowed his eyes, but his expression became more eager:
"I've had enough of being a reptile in the dark!"
"Don't worry. Soon you will be able to stand upright in the sun, accept people's worship, enjoy the nobles' admiration, and welcome the glory that belongs to you."
The Shadow Knight took a deep breath, as if imagining the scene described by Queen Midella, his body began to tremble slightly.
After a while, he calmed down, opened his eyes again, and said in a deep voice:
"Also, I will chop off Colin Angelet's head myself!"
Queen Midella giggled, rolled her eyes and said, "Are you jealous?"
The shadow knight snorted softly, but did not speak.
"Okay, I leave Colin's head to you, but you still need to be patient for a while, I still have some use for this person..."
"What other plans do you have?" Shadow Knight asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Don't worry, let's finish the plan first." Queen Midella comforted her, and then changed the subject, "It should be almost time, let's go."
…
On the other hand, Ke Lin looked at Emperor Reinhard who was foaming at the mouth, bleeding from all his orifices, and struggling in pain, and naturally knew that he had stepped into the queen's trap.
However, at this time he calmed down instead.
First, let the blood slave, a paladin in the dark, search the room carefully to see if there are any people hiding.
The result is of course nothing.
"Save... save me... save me..."
Emperor Reinhard stared at his blood-red eyes and roared with all his strength, but he could only let out a low and hoarse whimper.
Seeing that the emperor breathed in less and exhaled more, it seemed that he would not be able to hold on in the next second. Ke Lin finally stepped forward, exposed his ferocious fangs, and bit his neck.
Emperor Reinhard's cloudy eyes showed a look of horror and anger, but then he fell into confusion and even death.
The room was also completely quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps sounded outside the door again.
Immediately, the door opened and the footsteps got closer.
Colin got up from Emperor Reinhardt, wiped the blood from his mouth, rubbed his face again, and put on a dejected expression.
"Ah! Earl Angelet, what's the matter with you?"
Hearing Queen Midella's voice, Colin raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream, and cursed in a stern voice but deliberately lowered his voice:
"It's you! It's you who designed to frame me!"
"Count Angelet, how could I be willing to frame you?" Queen Midella walked up to Emperor Reinhardt, suddenly pulled out a hairpin from her head, and inserted it into the heart of the "corpse" like lightning .
Colin was visibly taken aback.
Queen Midella smiled and said, "Count Angelet, how could I let you bear such a crime alone?"
Immediately afterwards, the shadow knight following behind the queen also drew out his long sword and thrust it into the emperor's chest.
Then, both of them turned their eyes to Colin.
Colin immediately understood, pretended to struggle, and pulled out the [Blade of Judgment] from his waist, stabbing into Emperor Reinhard's chest.
"Very good!" Queen Midella clapped her hands and said with a smile, "We are on the same boat now. Count Angelet, can you trust me now?"
Colin let out a long breath, and seemed to finally let go of the burden in his heart, and asked:
"This should be His Majesty's shadow knight, right? Also, what exactly do you want to do?"
The shadow knight smiled and bowed to Colin, saying:
"Yes, Count Angelet, it's an honor to meet you. I'm also very glad that you can join our alliance to revive the Glorious Empire!"
"Reviving the empire?"
"Yes." Queen Midella said, "This idiot Reinhardt is not worthy to be called the ruler of the empire, so he must die!"
"Then your next plan..."
"Sacrifice the Storm Fortress and assassinate the orc emperor!" Queen Midella said firmly.
Colin hesitated for a moment, and persuaded for the last time:
"Your Highness, didn't you already know about Marquis Garcia's plan? Why did you sacrifice Storm Fortress again?"
Queen Midella shook her head and said:
"Count Angelet, Marquis Garcia's plan is still risky after all, but Mr. Ji can guarantee that the orc emperor will be killed without any chance.
What's more, this should be a good thing for you. Once the imperial army in the fortress is wiped out, the northern army in your hands will be the most powerful military force of the empire. By then, the future of the empire will not be under your control? "
Colin stopped talking and seemed to have agreed to the plan.
But secretly, his murderous intent towards Queen Midella was no longer restrained.
Originally, because the queen was Vera's aunt, he had tolerated her many times. In addition, she was his lover, so Colin somewhat sympathized with her.
But now, the other party used this method to drag him onto the thief ship, and they insisted on forcibly sacrificing Storm Fortress when they clearly had a better choice.
Ke Lin is sure that besides assassinating the orc emperor, she has other ulterior motives!
As for myself, it is nothing more than a tool of the other party.
Seeing that Colin no longer raised any doubts, Queen Midella smiled, kicked Emperor Reinhard who was lying beside him, and said:
"Okay, come and help me tidy him up. I will announce to the public that His Majesty is sick and needs to recuperate, and will not receive any visitors."
