As soon as the maids left, a team of patrolling guards came to the bedroom to guard it.
"An assassin got into the palace!"
"Protect the Queen!"
Darryl felt so helpless. ‘F*ck! Now, I can't get out too.’
The Queen stood up all of a sudden, walked to the door and asked, "What's the matter?"
“My Lady, a group of assassins impersonating rider armies have broken into the palace,” a guard outside the door reported.
The Queen frowned. “We must catch them. Don’t let them get away.”
"Yes, My Lady!"
While the Queen questioned the guards, Darryl quietly walked into the room and hid behind the ivory bed. There were guards outside the room and he knew he would not be able to leave any time soon. It was better to hide in the Queen’s room to observe when the situation changes.
Then, the Queen returned to sit on her bed. Meanwhile, Darryl admired the Queen from a close range through the hollowed-out ivory bed. He could not help but become fascinated.
‘I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful Queen in the Roland Continent,’ he thought.
"Protect the Queen and capture the assassins!" someone shouted from outside while Darryl was secretly admiring the Queen.
Then, a man in golden armor rushed in.
"Vernon?" the Queen frowned at the visitor, looking unhappy. “What are you doing here?”
In an instant, a dozen people broke in from outside and surrounded the Queen.
The Queen was extremely furious and exclaimed, "Vernon, what are you doing? How disrespectful! Are you going to rebel?"
‘Damn it!’ Darryl, who was hiding behind the ivory bed, was surprised.
This man, Vernon, was so bold. He was acting against the will of the Queen.
"Yes, I'm going to rebel today. Anyway, you were ready to get rid of me. Instead of just sitting around and waiting for death, I took the initiative to do something." Vernon said proudly, smiling.
He glanced outside and continued, "I didn't plan to do it today, but those assassins made this the perfect timing for me. Now that all the palace guards are distracted by the assassins in the priest’s hall, no one will be coming this way. The guards at your bedroom are all my people. If you know any better, it’s best if you give up your position to me. Otherwise, you can’t blame me for being rude.”
‘What?’ The guards out there are all his people?’ Darryl thought.
