midnight.

There was silence in the palace.

Outside the door of Her Majesty's bedroom.

Masefield waited here, waiting to be dispatched.

Elizabeth fainted directly because of her emotions in the hall.

I was sent here directly after the incident, and the court healer was summoned. Now I am diagnosing Queen Elizabeth's condition.

Masefield lowered his head, his face was gloomy, biting his lips and not speaking, his mind was full of the nasty figure of Elgin Great Swordsman.

If it weren't for this bastard, Her Majesty the Queen would not be worried and willing to take risks. In the end, her spirit was hit hard and she was devastated.

Even Masefield herself was affected, and her status was at stake due to the failure of this operation.

Until now, Masefield can recall the look in her eyes before Queen Elizabeth fainted, full of extreme distrust.

For a knight, this is absolutely fatal. If you can't get the trust of the monarch, there is basically no need to exist!

Masefield felt that she had been miserably killed by Elgin's great swordsman. This failure was a fatal blow to herself, and her spirit became a little wilted. She felt that she had lived up to Her Majesty’s expectations and was really unworthy to continue as the first knight. It's better to go home and farm.

Nor can it be blamed on Masefield's heart being too fragile to bear the slightest blow.

But after most people have seen the strength of Elgin Great Swordsman with their own eyes, they will feel deep despair, give up the mentality of resistance, lament their own weakness, and doubt their humble life.

Just think of the seventh knight Morrison. What a good mentality guy, he met the Elgin great swordsman and the dark elf cadre, and he surrendered to the enemy on the spot, helped the enemy to speak, and wanted to draw to the same camp.

Masefield also had to admit that there was a big gap between himself and Elgin's great swordsman. It was difficult to compete on the same stage, and his heart was filled with despair. He had to admit that Morrison's approach was correct.

Now Queen Elizabeth and Elgin's great swordsman are tough, which is obviously very unwise, and even a little bit of death.

Although Masefield agrees with Her Majesty's tough attitude and will never compromise with those outside the law, he always feels that the current approach is very unwise and full of emotions. It is almost the same character as Her Majesty's twin sister, but it is unpredictable.

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

But these things, as a subordinate, Masefield is not easy to point out clearly, and can only choose to be silent.

Masefield has some doubts, why does your Majesty become like this now?Sure enough, the death of the twin sister gave her a heavy blow and changed her temperament.

Except for this reason, Masefield could not find any other factors that changed the character of Queen Elizabeth.

During the Elizabethan girlhood, 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 reject the poor.

Even getting along with Masefield doesn't have any pretensions of the crown prince, but for a long time to be a sister to make her happy.

Masefield liked the majesty of that period very much and was willing to protect her with his life.

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

Easily irritable, his eyes will become fierce, showing no mercy to disobedient people, even repelling the poor, wanting to kill them all.

Masefield didn't like her majesty like this, because Elizabeth became more and more like her dead sister.

Squeak

The door of the dormitory was slowly pushed open, and a gray-haired old man came out from inside, apparently the court healer in charge of treating the queen.

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

Court therapist: "There is nothing serious for the time being, but your Majesty is in a bad mood. There is no problem with proper guidance."

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

Court therapist: "Master Masefield, Your Majesty seems to want to see you. After you go in, try not to disobey your Majesty. Pay attention to her emotions."

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

Bedroom.

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

"His Majesty……"

Masefield knelt on one knee, calling out, looking very respectful, ready to be scolded.

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

"Um..." Masefield's expression became unnatural, feeling that the less Her Majesty the Queen did not punish her, the more uncomfortable she would be in her heart, so she had to take the initiative to punish her, "Your Majesty, don't say that. I plan to resign from the post of Thorns Knight. Go directly back to your hometown to live."

Queen Elizabeth was dumbfounded, and looked at Masefield, "What are you saying stupid? Do you have to take the blame and resign for this blow?"

"I have put you to shame, Your Majesty. This is an irreparable fault for me. Resignation is already the lightest punishment." Masefield said earnestly, thinking that it is necessary for him, or else he will be stained. The face continued to stay in the Bauhinia Knights.

"No need. How many years have you been with me? More than ten years? If you leave suddenly, I will feel uncomfortable. Isn't it a failure? What's the big deal, we haven't been defeated, have we?" Queen Elizabeth faintly In other words, it seems that the mood has stabilized a lot.

Masefield did not speak, but remained silent, thinking that facing the powerful existence of Elgin Great Swordsman, we have obviously lost. Why does Her Majesty still refuse to admit this?

"Masefield, do you really think you are guilty?" Queen Elizabeth looked at her and asked.

"Yes..." Messfield did not look up, admitting his fault.

"Now I'll give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. If you succeed, I will not 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 swordsman to replace him." Queen Elizabeth showed a sinister smile on her face.

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

Get a fake Elgin swordsman to replace him!?

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

Where can I find someone who can match the great swordsman?!

Chapter 2: Monthly Ticket Plus

Masefield felt that Queen Elizabeth's plan was very shaky.

One is that the strength of Elgin's great swordsman is too strong, and it is difficult to find someone to match it.

If the people don't believe it, let the fake Elgin Great Swordsman show off their strengths, it will not be easy to reveal themselves.

Now in the eyes of the people, the strength of Elgin's great swordsman is almost a god, if it does not meet the requirements, he will definitely not agree.

In the end, it will trigger a crisis of trust among the people in the royal family, and no one believes what the royal family said, causing turmoil in the empire.

The second is Masefield’s personal reasons. She is too upright in character. She doesn’t care about such things at all. She plays with some conspiracy and tricks and appears to be very bad. As a knight, she is arrogant and it is difficult to do some inferior things. It was an insult to myself.

"Your Majesty, is this wrong?"

"Oh? What's wrong?" Queen Elizabeth frowned, seemingly disliked that someone would sing her against her.

"Elgin's great swordsman has extraordinary strength. If you want to recruit people to replace him, you need equal strength. To be honest, I think it is difficult to find such a person in the empire..." Masefield said Very tactful, try not to touch the queen's sensitivity.

"Masefield, you have to understand that we only need to find someone to replace him and pretend to be Elgin's great swordsman. Strength is not important at all. What is important is to let everyone know that Elgin's great swordsman is standing on the position of the royal family. It’s definitely not a righteous knight who is outside the royal power..." Queen Elizabeth paused, with a triumphant smile, and continued, "Who makes this Elgin swordsman like to hide his identity? He doesn’t want to show up yet? We just happen to be full. Take advantage of this to completely take this bastard off and become a warrior of our royal family, so that my rule will be consolidated again and the empire will also tend to a stable state..."

Masefield frowned and didn't agree with this approach in his heart. He felt too despicable and shameless.

The ruler of a dignified empire is thinking about how to use conspiracy and tricks to consolidate his rule?

This is shameful. How did your Majesty become like this now?Where is that naive and kind person?!

Is time really the culprit that destroys everything, allowing a person to completely change from the inside out?

Although Masefield thinks this approach is feasible, she herself disagrees very much, she is simply fooling the people as idiots.

"But it's hard to conceal the difference in strength? This is simply not feasible."

"This is not easy. I don't have enough strength. Acting to come together, don't you understand such a simple truth?" Elizabeth showed a clear smile, had already thought of everything, and made a very detailed plan.

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

"That's right, we randomly find a few strong men to cooperate, let the person who plays the Elgin swordsman deliberately defeat them, so that we can bring out that the fake Elgin swordsman is also very powerful?" Queen Elizabeth looked at Mei Sfield, continue to say, "And what do these foolish people know? They only know that Elgin's great swordsman is a hero. Well, we will label this hero as a royal family, and it will never be us who will suffer in the end."

"Uh……"

Masefield was stunned, feeling that it was really shameless to do so, and he was going to perform such a farce.

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

It seems that your majesty is really getting more and more profitable, and he was forced to this point by a ranger.

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

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

"But if you do this, it might make the real Elgin Great Swordsman irritate. If he kills, I'm afraid it will not end well..."

"Isn't that better?" Queen Elizabeth said suddenly, her smile gradually becoming mysterious.

"Huh?!" Masefield was shocked, wondering if he didn't explain the strength of the White Elgin Great Swordsman?If provoking must be fatal, why does your Majesty seem to be very happy?

"If this mysterious swordsman really dared to appear, then it would have hit the biggest trap I set." Elizabeth paused, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes, "We will kill the Elgin Great Swordsman directly without mercy. !"

"Uh……"

Masefield's eyebrows were tightly closed on his forehead. Unexpectedly, Her Majesty asked someone to pretend to be Elgin's great swordsman as a cover. In the end, she was murderous and wanted to kill someone, but the opponent is so strong, who can kill him?
