Chapter 3: I have to play with him for a while
The one who was the most surprised was not Roger but his sister, Angelina.
She knew her brother the best. Hearing that he became a marquis, was unbelievable. She was very surprised. Angelina wanted to feel happy for her brother but it was simply too shocking!
He answered like that and her majesty said it was great?
Her Majesty must be giving my Charles family some face, giving some face to my dead father, and even giving me some face!
But for Her Majesty to bestow the title of marquis, she must think about the motive behind this.
No matter how he answered, he would get that title.
She thought "Her majesty is treating our family too kindly!"
"Your majesty, I will be forever loyal to your Empire!"
She kneeled as she watched the queen, lowering her head so low that her beautiful forehead touched the ground with her eyes turning red.
Her brother couldn't repay the queen, so she would work in his place to repay the queen.
The queen came back from her thoughts and found Roger's expression subtly pained and his gratitude is not sincere at all.
On the contrary, it was Angelina who kneeled gratefully, seemingly on the verge of tears.
Was there something wrong?
Did I address Angelina, instead of Roger?
No, I didn't make a mistake. I'm talking about making Roger a Marquis!
Angelina, you're scaring me.
She gave her a disgruntled look.
She also knew that Angelina had misunderstood.
Because only she was able to hear the voice of Roger's heart, no one else had heard his explanation of the relationship between the gods and the empire.
Smart people like Angelina, also don't know about this.
Naturally, the queen didn't mean to chastise him, but to reward the Charles family.
She hopes to reveal his talent, train him carefully, and then entrust him with important tasks.
Maybe in a few years, the head of her Secret Law Society would be replaced.
But when she saw that the people were surprised, she had an idea.
Roger was so clever, but he'd rather be ridiculed as a rubbish brother, he had hidden his strength, so he probably had his reasons.
Maybe his strong spiritual power, not his talent, has another reason?
Maybe he held a secret that would bring him so much trouble?
Maybe he was nurtured by other strong people and was kept low-key on purpose?
She faced so much trouble, from weak to strong, every step walked was so difficult.
As she thought, she had come to realize many reasons why he hid.
That's not disloyalty to the Empire, he just has his troubles!
If that was simple trouble, she would solve it.
But now, their enemies were the gods!
The queen was already the strongest among humans, but facing the gods, she still found it difficult to breathe.
Thinking about it more, she decided not to expose his identity.
Because she has to face the gods, she needed to be firm.
The empire was powerful, and it's strength had swept away many countries.
She was the queen for 3 years, there were still many dangers even with her strength.
There are gods outside, strong clans around, and the legacy groups of seventeen countries inside.
These worries are what kept her up at night.
Maybe one day she would die at the hands of the gods.
But if she kept Roger alive, he would be the last hope of the empire!
Did he come to the same conclusion as me?
This guy is clever.
So at last, she didn't explain, letting the misunderstanding be.
Keeping the tacit agreement between them, one of light and one of dark, as the empires' twin stars, they would solve the troubles of the empire!
Roger didn't know that he had become the hope of the empire.
He only saw that the extremely beautiful queen suddenly winked her eyes with deep meaning.
Her eyes seemed to say 'deal with it.
A woman who has always been high above suddenly has such a playful expression. Roger couldn't help but feel surprised.
The pervert was elated.
He also winked his eyes.
But after that, he was so confused.
[Wait, you look like you understand me, but I don't! What's the deal!?]
[I know nothing and yet, you just give me some tips, this makes me feel unsafe…]
She suddenly laughed.
It turned out that there was another benefit for not breaking his secret.
It is to be able to secretly appreciate his voice with peace of mind!
He knew the strife between the empire and the gods which only she knew, but he didn't necessarily know that she knew, his sister also didn't know what she knew…
This kind of complicated situation made her dance in joy, bringing a little bit of color into her life.
She thought:" I have to play with him for a while…"
The queen enjoyed tea for an afternoon in Charles's house.
She didn't talk about politics but talked about a lot of what happened in the past.
At that time she was still an immature little princess and Angelina was the eldest daughter of Duke Charles.
They lived so comfortably.
But the invasion of a neighboring country brought disaster to the Green Vines Empire.
Many people died.
She was forced to succeed from then on and then turned the tide to sweep seventeen countries.
Now, they had the empire. But they couldn't turn back time.
Roger accompanied them.
The queen had no other target, she just wanted to listen to the voice of his heart.
As a result, he yawned.
[Can I, as a scholar, not already know about these old things. Can't we talk about something new?]
What he thought made her angry.
The ups and downs of her life were just "old things"?
What do you want to know? What my room looks like?
But she was also confused, what was a "scholar"?
A scholar specializing in the Eternal Night Dynasty?
Maybe because he was a scholar, he had talent and knew the gods?
Satisfied after talking to Angelina, she went back.
After that, she ordered:
Explore the possibility of banning the Church of the Gods from preaching.
In addition, all the members of the Secret Law Society will stop their current work and investigate the relevant information of the "scholar"!
Roger, who was a waste, had become the Marquis of Lacapas!
Many people could not believe it!
The Queen's name is Eternal Night, she who is like the night and the stars in the sky.
Therefore, in the Eternal Night Dynasty, the title of the queen's favorite subjects would be crowned with stars instead of territories.
For example, Angelina, the right minister, the Duke of Farah Dawn.
The left minister, Margaret, the Marquis of Germati.
The chief of the Secret Law Society, Delia the Viscount of Moharto.
All of which are bright stars in the sky.
Lacapas, are the two main stars of the South Banner.
Bright, beautiful, and everlasting, it was referred to as The Pearl of Summer Nights.
Now, the well-known trash younger brother in the imperial capital was crowned Lacapas by the queen?
Did he deserve the name Lacapas?
Pigs would be better suited!
There are lemon fruits on the lemon tree, and there are people under the lemon tree:
"What, Her Majesty went to Charles's house to see Sister Angelina?"
"The right minister of the empire is already under one person and stands over ten thousand people, this time her younger brother will also rise!"
"A trash younger brother can also be a marquis? Then can my demented son be named an earl..."
"I burst into tears. I have made countless contributions, and yet I am only an Earl. In the end, that guy is named a Marquis because of his sister?"
"Why wasn't I born as Charles? Why wasn't my sister Angelina?"
"It's a showdown, and I want to rely on my sister too!"
"Sister, you have to stand up. Your own brother depends on you for a title..."
And the center of the storm, Charles House.
Roger tossed and turned on his bed. He was distracted, and couldn't sleep.
Staying awake until midnight, a new day began.
"System, my reward!"
He just wanted to know if he was still successful in loafing around yesterday.
My random treasure chest will not be gone because of the Queen of Eternal Night, right?
