Game of the World Tree (800-979)

Chapter 896 Ends

"The Bishop ! Monsignor ! No ! The nobles opened the inner city gates and surrendered ! The rebels have entered the city ! Now it's heading for the palace and the church!"
　　
　　In the Eternal Cathedral in Mania, Bishop Winster knelt before the statue of the Eternal Lord, listening to the terrified message of the church friars behind him.
　　
　　He was silent for a moment, nodded softly :
　　
　　" i got it."
　　
　　" winsterching..."
　　
　　By the side of Bishop Winster, the young Queen grasped the corner of his garment, a nervous and wrinkled smile.
　　
　　Looking at the little majesty with tension, worry and confusion, bishop winster's eyes were somewhat mixed.
　　
　　He reached out and shook the girl's cold little hand, whispered :
　　
　　"My majesty... ...the rebels enter the city, the nobles surrender, and this place is no longer safe."
　　
　　"But... ...but didn't the dukes say we still have 30,000 guards?"
　　
　　asked the young queen nervously.
　　
　　Bishop Winster shook his head :
　　
　　"My majesty, there are no guards now, and the rebels who come in outside are guards."
　　
　　Theresa II was stunned and looked astonished.
　　
　　"Why... ...why did everyone rebel ?...did I do something wrong?" I... I can correct... I can correct...
　　
　　She said to herself, uneasy.
　　
　　Looking at the girl's terrified appearance, Bishop Winster's eyes flashed a bit of unbearableness.
　　
　　He sighed and said :
　　
　　" my majesty... ...it's too late."
　　
　　"I have prepared for you a secret road to the city, change into civilian clothes, and escape quietly from there."
　　
　　Listening to Bishop Winster's words, Teresa II stared wide and seemed unable to accept.
　　
　　"No ! I don't want ! I am the Queen of the Empire, the ruler of the Holy Mania Empire ! How can I escape at this time when the empire is in danger?"
　　
　　She said in a childish and firm voice.
　　
　　Bishop Winster was a little stunned.
　　
　　He looked at the girl's young, but firm face, and shook his head :
　　
　　" no... my majesty..."
　　
　　"The general trend of history cannot be stopped, everything has an end, from the moment your grandmother died, the future of the empire, has been doomed..."
　　
　　"It's not your fault."
　　
　　"You don't have to, and there's no point, to be buried with the Empire."
　　
　　With that, he commanded two women pastors of the Eternal Church :
　　
　　"What are you doing ? Get your majesty ready for Eve, and get out of here. "
　　
　　" no, i don't want it!"
　　
　　Theresa II struggled.
　　
　　Although she was less than fifteen years old, she had a good talent, and she had the strength of silver at a young age.
　　
　　As she resisted, the two priests could not help it.
　　
　　"Winsterching ! I'm the queen of the empire ! As a people of the empire, you must obey my orders ! I don't want to run away ! I don't want to run away!
　　
　　Theresa II struggled.
　　
　　Looking at the little queen who refused to flee, Bishop Winster had a headache.
　　
　　He sighed and wanted to say something, but heard an old voice ringing behind him :
　　
　　"Oh, Linus, after all these years, you still can't take care of the kids..."
　　
　　Bishop Winster had a small meal.
　　
　　He turned slowly and saw when a figure in a white robe appeared in the church.
　　
　　No one else, but Daniel, the legendary mage known as the guardian of the royal family.
　　
　　" dan... lord daniel..."
　　
　　Bishop Winster subconsciously wanted to salute, but the legendary old mage turned a blind eye to him after he initially satirized him.
　　
　　The legendary mage took a sip of wine from a wine bag and came to Teresa, who sat on the ground and stopped struggling.
　　
　　Somehow, the clergy in the church fell asleep, awake, leaving only Bishop Winster, Teresa II, and the old mage.
　　
　　" daniel... grandpa..."
　　
　　Seeing the legendary mage, Teresa seems to have found a lifesaver general, grab each other's clothing corner :
　　
　　"I... I'm not leaving here. Can you save the Empire?"
　　
　　Daniel sighed.
　　
　　He reached out and touched the little queen's head, like an elder comforting the child.
　　
　　" little teresa..."
　　
　　He whispered :
　　
　　"Tell me, would you really like to be a queen?"
　　
　　Theresa's a little bit of a meal.
　　
　　She was startled and slowly hung her head, and for a moment she was silent.
　　
　　She grasped the corner of her dress, squeezed her lips, and said :
　　
　　"But... but it's my grandmother's mission..."
　　
　　"As a member of the Tres family, I must shoulder my own responsibilities..."
　　
　　The old mage shook his head :
　　
　　"This is only a mission imposed on you by the family, and the end of the empire is not your control, and now... ...I declare in the name of the current head of the family of Tres that your mission... ...has been accomplished."
　　
　　"You don't have to hold on, son. You're free from the Queen's cage."
　　
　　The little queen was silent.
　　
　　And said, the old mage helped the girl to brush some messy hair, gentle eyes :
　　
　　" theresa..."
　　
　　"Didn't you say when you were a kid that you wanted to travel the whole continent and see this colorful world outside?"
　　
　　" drop everything and come with me."
　　
　　" i'll take you to fulfill those wishes you haven't fulfilled..."
　　
　　Theresa was a slight shock.
　　
　　She was silent for a moment, slowly raised her head, eyes sadly looked at the old mage, eye socket seems to have crystal in the flow :
　　
　　"I... ...can I really put it down?"
　　
　　"I'm not a qualified queen, I didn't run the empire well, can I really let go of everything?"
　　
　　" silly boy..."
　　
　　The old mage sighed :
　　
　　"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."
　　
　　As he said, his hand gave off a soft halo that covered the girl's body, and Teresa's excitement calmed down in that soft light.
　　
　　Gradually, the girl fell into sleep.
　　
　　"Sleep, child. When you wake up, the nightmare will pass."
　　
　　The old mage whispered.
　　
　　With that, he picked up the girl and left the church in the complex eyes of Bishop Winster.
　　
　　All the way, there was no more look at Bishop Winster.
　　
　　Only before disappearing, the legendary mage left one last word :
　　
　　"The palace fell, the young queen has died in the fire, the aristocracy, glory, history... all over."
　　
　　After that, his and Teresa's figure disappeared completely into Bishop Winster's sight.
　　
　　Looking in the direction of the two men's disappearance, Bishop Winster looked mixed.
