Chapter 685 The Queen Awakens
The Queen has woken up!!!
This was news that General Macaron had recently received, and he was overjoyed but also a little worried.
Why do you say that?
Queen Atina, the supreme ruler of this sweet kingdom, is undoubtedly a great blessing in a time when the country is in chaos.
General Macaron naturally felt the same way, but why was he worried about it?
It's all because of what I promised those insect demons. To be honest, the reason I agreed to that condition was because I had no other choice and had no other option.
If he could, Admiral Macaron would certainly prefer to renege on his promise, after all, he wanted to see their queen...
General Macaron did not want to be a man of his word, but if he really wanted to meet with the Queen, it was not up to him alone; he would naturally have to consult with his ministers and the Queen herself.
Fortunately, the Queen had been in a coma for some time, so the matter was delayed, and General Macaron used this as an excuse to appease the insect demons.
General Macaron was prepared to be scolded or even have a conflict, but to his surprise, the insect demons were not as excited as he had imagined after learning about this. Instead, after thinking for a while, they waited quietly.
General Macaron could clearly sense that these terrifyingly powerful individuals were not making their decision to wait because of his evasive words, but rather that they were genuinely waiting for someone.
Who exactly is that person? How could they possibly make these battlefield killers wait so patiently?
General Macaron was very curious, but he quickly realized that he wouldn't need to think of an excuse for shirking responsibility anytime soon.
The matter remained unresolved for some time, and soon it came to this day.
Today, he received news of the Queen's awakening. Now that he is a high-ranking official in the kingdom, he may not be the first to know this news, but he is definitely among the first to find out.
Therefore, after learning this news, he quickly considered the current situation.
There's no way to delay it any longer. The matter is as it is, and it will inevitably take another step forward sooner or later. Although those guys are behaving very well now, they won't stay here patiently once they finally meet the person they're waiting for.
Therefore, General Macaron had to make a decision immediately, and after much deliberation, he decided to go to the palace first to inform the Queen of the matter, and then let her make the decision.
Ultimately, the decision-making power doesn't lie with him. If the Queen truly disagrees, he'll be forced to turn against her.
Of course, if possible, General Macaron would not want to go to this point. After all, as comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, in addition to the camaraderie on the battlefield, he also knew the strength of these guys. In a real fight, given their current situation, it was hard to say who would win or lose.
Of course, this excludes the Queen...
Having made his decision, General Macaron decided not to linger any longer and quickly prepared to head out to the palace.
However, to his surprise, he ran into an acquaintance shortly after he left the house.
"Hey! Busybody, where are you headed?"
A somewhat languid voice sounded from the side. General Macaron was startled when he heard the voice, and then looked to his right with some nervousness.
A tall, white-shelled insect demon was leaning against the wall. When it noticed that someone was looking over, it whistled flippantly.
Insect Captain.
It's true that they became friends after a fight. If you had to say who he interacted with the most among these insect demons, it would be this guy in front of him.
Whether it was the previous negotiations, the later battles, or the series of territorial conquests after the cooperation, the two sides could be said to have been together for quite some time.
How should I put it? Whether they are truly sincere or not, at least on the surface, they are already considered half friends.
That's precisely why General Macaron doesn't want to see him right now. Although the other party hasn't spoken yet, General Macaron can clearly sense that the other party has come to ask about that matter.
Although General Macaron wanted to give the other party an answer, he couldn't now, because he hadn't even received an answer himself, so how could he give the other party a conclusion?
Therefore, after exchanging a few words with the other party, General Macaron continued his previous rambling.
Just one word:
drag!
Unexpectedly, the insect captain, who would usually joke around with him, became extremely serious this time.
Faced with General Macaron's refusal, he did not show the same helpless and amused expression as before. Instead, after saying a few words, he adopted a serious expression and said:
"I don't know if your queen has woken up or not, but that doesn't matter anymore. Whether she's awake or not, whether she's dead or alive, we must go see her now."
"The King is back! This matter can't be delayed any longer!"
Upon hearing the first part of the statement, General Macaron's expression instinctively stiffened, not only because of the earnest and tense urging from the other party, but also because of the disrespect shown towards his queen.
But when he heard the next sentence, a look of doubt appeared on his already displeased face.
"Your Majesty? Is that the guy who always wears black robes? Hasn't he been here the whole time?"
Upon hearing the other party utter a name that seemed somewhat extraordinary, General Macaron subconsciously thought of the Black Hand Taoist he had encountered in White Chocolate City.
To be honest, although I've never seen this guy make a move, just by standing there, he exudes an extremely powerful aura, unlike any other insect demon.
Therefore, General Macaron always kept his distance from this mysterious man, and he also always thought that the Black Hand was their leader and that he was going to see Her Majesty the Queen.
However, he was wrong. To the insect demons, the Black Hand Taoist was of high status, but he was not the highest. The insect demons admired his strength, but in terms of respect, he was still a far cry from that of the highest-ranking one.
“It’s different. Lord Black Hand is Lord Black Hand. I’m talking about the King. He is our supreme ruler. The reason I didn’t urge you earlier was because he hadn’t arrived yet.”
"And now, the King is coming soon, you must give me an answer right now!"
"Otherwise, don't blame us for forcing our way in..."
