"I apologize for my rash suspicion." Dalton let go of the gun and knelt down on one knee again. "But, your majesty, if the soldier is rejected by the monarch, who would dare to do his best to you again?"
He didn't expect to get such a reaction before stepping into the rose garden.
However, her rage and tears did not seem to be fake, and a slap in the face is better than being the queen of the betrayer.
"Then you shouldn't teach those who trust you to be heartbroken." Adele replied, "How can you impose the shameful accusation of'traitor' on me? Don't you know that Roland regards "Glory" as life?"
Dalton realized where the queen's anger came from.
The motto of the Roland royal family is "beyond the glory", betraying allies and treachery will bring their badges to shame and be scorned and abused by the world. During Adele's three years in power, she has been doing her best to fulfill this point.
"They hope to meet at the Summer Palace and have peace talks there." Dalton said. "What do you think?"
The queen's mood calmed down, and she handed her hand to Dalton again: "I believe your arrangement."
Dalton kissed the back of her hand.
The two sides are reconciled.
After Dalton left with her palmprint, Mrs. Carey returned to the Queen. She knelt beside the queen, and looked at the hand that the queen had just slapped Dalton on. The queen felt hot tears falling on the back of her hand.
"My dear, it's not me who gets the slap in the face." She reminded me funny.
"you……"
Kelly's tears fell even more fiercely, how much the queen had valued glory, and how firm and noble character she had.
"Don't worry." The queen sighed, "I'm a snake, too."
"But..." Mrs. Kelly couldn't help calling out, "This is not something you should bear."
Why does the kind, fair, benevolent, and righteous one become fatal mistakes? Isn't this something God praises and blesses?
"Don't worry," the queen touched her hair tenderly, "I know what I'm doing."
She trudged through the mud, just to return to glory one day.
……………………
The Summer Palace is also known as the "Hall of Glory".
The first monarch of the Roland family was crowned here, and the Queen of Mutiny Night got Dalton's help and escaped from here. Later occupied by the rebel party, as an important condition for reconciliation, the queen will return to the summer residence. But before that, Dalton had a series of tedious negotiations with the noble representatives.
Until the first day of August, the contract was confirmed and the two parties, including the queen, would meet in the summer palace.
The rebellious nobles will re-swear allegiance to the Queen in the Summer Palace, and the Queen will forgive their previous usurpation. The Congress and the nobles will have to accept Dalton as the new "Marshal of the Empire."
"God will forgive your faults, and I will follow God's will."
Adele wears a long skirt with a low neck and a square mouth. The skirt is embroidered with roses in gold and silver threads, and the bright and flawless arms are exposed from the wide sleeves with cut-out pearls. She sat on the velvet silk king's chair, and every reconciled noble stepped forward, and she stretched out her hand to let them kiss the king ring on their finger.
She had a friendly voice and a smile on her face, as if she had forgotten all the unhappiness before.
After seeing her smile, some doubtful nobles could not help but dispel the doubts in their hearts. After all, in the past three years, Adele Roland has always had a good reputation for tolerance and kindness. The nobles care more about the person standing next to the queen than the queen herself.
Robert Dalton.
"Look!" The Secretary of Accounts stood beside Heinrich and complained, "He almost wants her to be surrounded by water, hell, do we have to pass a muddy approval to see the queen in the future?"
From the time the Queen arrived at the Summer Palace in a gilded royal carriage, Dalton herself was almost inseparable from her. The queen's own guards were completely replaced by Dalton's men, which made some gentlemen who had served as the queen's guards feel particularly unhappy-they were powerless at the moment.
Heinrich did not speak.
He stood behind the candelabra, his face flickered by the candle light.
He was looking at the queen and the young officer standing beside the queen.
Today, Dalton is wearing a short coat of high-quality satin, with a black cloak with two rows of shiny silver buttons, and his knee-length boots are particularly bright. On his chest is a dazzling gem emblem symbolizing the "Marshal of the Empire". When the traitor walked forward, the queen would turn her head and smile to talk to him, and Dalton would also bend down from time to time and whisper something to the queen.
He has always stood by the Queen to remind her.
At that time, he never felt that the position was precious, but when someone replaced him, Heinrich still felt that a snake bit him in his heart—the snake was called "jealous".
This is by nature.
The emblem of the Heinrich family is two-headed snakes, and in fact, they are a group of people called the "viper family", possessing all the characteristics of snakes-coldness, greed, and possessiveness for what they belong to. In Dalton's eyes, Heinrich nodded at him, but he was thinking of the secret letters in his heart.
Does he think he can really stand in that position safely?
Heinrich thought maliciously that now his student has become a poisonous snake that can bite.
But immediately, he couldn't help but think, even if Dalton disappeared from that position, could he really get it again?
He stopped thinking about what the answer would be.
Beside the throne, the young officer leaned over to the ears of the extraordinary queen, showing an affectionate attitude.
"Your mentor has been watching you." Dalton said. "He doesn't look happy at all-as your mentor, shouldn't he be pleased that you are back on the throne? "
"You have to know," Adele stretched out his hand to the last official who came forward, without turning his head, "The place where you are standing now belongs to him."
"Then he will be even more angry soon."
Dalton laughed.
The cumbersome process finally came to an end. The archbishop stepped forward and read out the long contract, witnessing the reconciliation between the monarch and his subjects in the name of God. From this moment on, the queen and the nobles all let go of their previous suspicions. After the bishop finished reading, Adele stood up, looked around the hall, and spoke in a cordial tone.
"Everyone, take this delightful opportunity, and I also ask you to bear a valuable testimony of the next thing—"
Dalton stepped forward and knelt down on one knee before the throne.
Adele took the national sword from the waiter on the side and put it on Dalton's shoulder: "Robert Dalton, I canonize you as a knight of honor in the name of the Queen of the Roland Empire. I want you to use the sword. Fight for me, and ask you to guard me with a shield."
At the moment when the queen drew the sword, the expressions of the nobles present suddenly changed. For a long time, they attacked Dalton very importantly, that is his origin, and at the moment the queen canonized him as a knight of honor, he got rid of the most deadly point, and at the same time he will have a fief in accordance with the laws of the empire-this means The ancient powers of prominent families will usher in new changes and challenges.
However, as traitors who have just been pardoned, they have nothing to say.
"My sword is your sword, and my shield is your shield."
Dalton took the oath.
"I appoint you as the commander of the knight, and from today onwards, become the most steadfast protector of my castle and me." Adele brushed his collar affectionately.
This is the same thing that was not involved in the previous negotiations-she appointed a new knight to command Dalton. This will allow him to own a room in the court, and he will be responsible for the Queen's security affairs and royal events.
"Your Majesty..."
The Minister of Finance turned his head to discuss the change with Heinrich, but he took a step back in terror by the horrible shadow on his face.
………………
The peace talks ended, and when night fell, a luxurious dinner was held in the summer palace hall.
At the banquet, the previously hostile people danced together, and Heinrich finally found the opportunity to talk to the queen.
The melody of Tate's Waltz is soft and melodious, and thousands of candles glow like a nebula, illuminating the hall extremely brilliantly. Adele put his hand on Heinrich's shoulder, and they danced slowly to the melody of the song.
"You used me."
Heinrich pointed out.
The reason why he would stand on Adele again was because the queen pointed out that the rebellion was deadlocked, the Yager Kingdom fleet landed, and the Heinrich family's industry would be destroyed in the war. And she promised to give the Heinrich family privileges in maritime trade after the rebellion was put down.
Originally, Heinrich subconsciously thought that after the rebellion was settled, Adele would definitely join hands with the Heinrich family to eradicate Dalton. But now, Adele did not hesitate to promote and reuse Dalton, who was betrayed by her.
The fact is already obvious.
She used him to pin Dalton, and then Dalton to pin the nobles. She forgave the nobles, and at the same time valued Dalton, just to make the two sides confront each other, and she would look for a chance to regain power.
Those secret letters were aimed at more than Dalton from the beginning.
"Isn't this what you have been teaching me?" Adele said softly, and the candlelight fell on her face, but Heinrich's expression was completely unfamiliar. "For the sake of profit, justice, morality and shame are all acceptable. Abandon. What is your family's motto—things must have a price?"
"Dalton will not be a loyal knight," Heinrich said. "That's a jackal."
"What about you? I used to respect and love you like a father. What happened?" Adele looked at him and smiled. "If it is profitable, why not dance with the wolf?"
With a high pitch of dance music, Adele spun out, the skirt blooming like petals, when he passed by, Heinrich smelled the fragrance of her hair. At the next syllable, Heinrich took her hand and brought her back into his arms again.
"Don't you worry that I will forward the secret letter to Dalton?"
