"Suddenly I want to admire him, he can actually fall asleep at this time..." Estelle wanted to go up and kick him to see if Dunan was pretending to sleep, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it now.

This is not the time to do this kind of thing.

"We have to go to the Queen's Palace quickly. Let's go, Estelle."

After hearing what Joshua said, Estelle nodded and followed.

The two passed through the garden on top of the castle, but did not see a single secret agent. Not only the secret agents, but also the terrorists were not seen. There was no sign of damage in the garden, and the Grand Hall was completely damaged.

Compared to the dilapidated situation, it looks peaceful here.

"This cannot be taken lightly. Ensuring the safety of Her Majesty the Queen is our top priority now."

"I understand, Joshua, let's go."

The two walked into the Queen's Palace and when they came to the door of the Queen's room, they saw an unexpected figure appearing here. What surprised them even more was that the other person was knocked down and fell unconscious on the ground.

"Sister Sheila!? No! We have to hurry up!" Estelle immediately wanted to rush over, but her action was immediately stopped by her companions around her.

"Wait, someone is coming out. Let's wait and see what happens." After Joshua said this, he immediately slowed down his breathing, and Estelle also followed suit and hid in the shadows of the corridor.

After the door opened, two special agents and two people who were somewhat familiar to them appeared.

"Olivier, the bastard, and a beautiful girl...wait, isn't that Chloe?" Estelle asked Joshua in a low voice.

"Yes, you are right. It's the two of them." Joshua replied softly.

"It's strange why they appear here. Could it be that they have something to do with terrorists?"

"I don't think so. Please pay attention to the standing posture of the special agents. Their weapons are facing the outside, which means they are not guarding the two of them, but protecting them. Although I don't know why they are here. But the special agents

Now that we have left, it is a good opportunity for us to get in touch with the Queen. Estelle? Are you listening?"

"Hmm! What is that damn Olivier doing? He's using a princess hug on Sister Sheila! He must be too courageous. If Sister Sheila wakes up and finds out..."

Just as Estelle said, Olivier put his left hand around Sherazade's neck, his right hand held Sherazade's knees, hugged Sherazade who fainted on the ground, and left accompanied by the special agents.

The castle garden.

"Huh, since the special agents are here, it means that Walut and the others probably didn't come here, maybe they missed us." Joshua said with a sigh of relief.

"Well, it's best if we don't have to fight with them. So let's continue the mission? The mission we received is not to repel the terrorists, but to protect the queen's safety before dad comes back."

"That's right, it's just as you said, Estelle. Let's go see the queen as soon as possible."

The two walked out of the shadows and walked towards the queen's room. The queen's room was empty, but there was some kind of movement on the terrace. It seemed that the queen was resting on the terrace.

Estelle knocked on the door and then spoke.

"Excuse me, my name is Esther Bright, and I am a quasi-guerrilla from the Guerrilla Association. I have received a commission from the association."

"My name is Joshua Bright, and I am also a quasi-guerrilla from the Guerrilla Association."

The two waited for a short while, then the door opened and the queen returned to her room from the terrace.

"First meeting, Her Majesty the Queen. I heard that Grancel City was attacked, and our Guerrilla Association received an emergency call and came to provide support."

"Estyl-san and Joshua-kun, I'm really happy to meet you two. Your last names... By the way, you are Mr. Cassius's children. We might as well sit down and talk slowly."

The queen came to the tea table and pulled out a chair. Estelle hurriedly walked over, but Joshua stayed where he was, looking out of the window warily.

"That's... that's..." Joshua's pupils shrank.

"Joshua, what's wrong with you? Ah, did he say..." Estelle followed Joshua's line of sight and looked out the window, and then saw a certain special agent captain in a red mask.

"Ah, that's Lieutenant Lawrence, my personal guard. He especially likes to look at the stars like this at night." Queen Alicia explained.

"Estil, can you chat with the Queen first? I have something to say to Lieutenant Lawrence."

"Oh, so you guys know each other? It's okay, go ahead, kid. Maybe you can untie his knot." After Queen Alicia nodded, Joshua came to the terrace.

Hearing footsteps, Lieutenant Lawrence turned around.

"Joshua Bright, the quasi-guerrilla who was transferred to the royal capital Grancel last week. Did you come here after accepting the mission we issued to the Guerrilla Association? If you are too hasty, you will go and issue the mission to the association. My subordinates will

You are causing trouble. As you can see, the terrorists who attacked the royal capital have been repelled. Our Intelligence Department is here to protect the Queen's safety, so there is no need to worry."

"That...that..."

Joshua didn't come here to hear these things.

"Lei...Lei...Levi!! I remembered, I remembered everything! Please stop pretending that you don't know me. I am Kallen's younger brother, Joshua Astre.

!”

"Um...how could..."

Second Lieutenant Lawrence was shocked when he saw the tattoo mark representing the body-eating snake exposed on Joshua's left shoulder.

"Can you take off your helmet again? I haven't seen your face for several years." Joshua said with some embarrassment as he slowly walked towards Second Lieutenant Lawrence.

Lieutenant Lawrence nodded slowly and took off his helmet. At this moment, his pale golden hair was revealed in front of Joshua, and also revealed in the Queen's room, who was secretly watching Queen Alicia and

In front of Estelle.

Seeing his appearance, Joshua couldn't bear it anymore, threw himself into his arms, and hugged Levi tightly.

"You've grown up so much, and you're still like a child. But that's fine, that's fine. The past has passed."

Reinhardt also hugged Joshua tightly.

"After being adopted by my father, I still miss you very much... Although I remember your voice and appearance, I can't remember who you are... It took me a long time to remember... It took me a long time to remember..."

"Your memory has been manipulated, and there's nothing you can do about it."

The two finally reunited after five years of separation and hugged each other for a while before letting go of each other.

"So it's true... Brother, I'm worrying you. Ah, by the way. Ling is indeed the child we rescued, right... She has changed so much, how can I put it... I feel better

So mature."

"Then, it would be great if the child could be more like her age and act coquettishly like you. If this continues, I'm a little worried that she won't be able to get married in the future."

"What, what, what coquettishness..." Joshua's face turned red. Thinking of his reckless behavior just now, it seemed a little difficult to refute.

"hehe……"

"By the way, did Levi and Ling also leave the association after that? Levi is now serving in the Royal Army? Ling became a famous scholar? I remember that the executors of the association will not accept tasks that are enemies of each other. Valut and the others are coming

When they attacked Grancel City, you were the one who repelled them, right? Levi, you are indeed the most powerful!"

"Ah... um." Reinhardt's answer was a little unnatural, but Joshua, who was immersed in the joy of reunion, did not notice this.

"I finally remembered that Ken Parela said before that the association has regulations that enforce all freedoms. This is an iron rule set by the leader. Even the apostles cannot interfere. No wonder no one has come to hunt me down in the past five years.

Great, we can see each other more often in the future. I have held back a lot of things to say to Levi..."

"We still have plenty of time in the future, so there is no need to rush. Just restrain yourself and don't let your girlfriend see the joke." Reinhardt pointed in the direction of the window of the queen's room, where a girl with brown hair had already opened the door.

His face was pressed against the window glass.

"Girlfriend... Estelle, she's not...that..."

"I understand. Anyway, don't let your siblings worry."

"Brother, sister-in-law!? No, we haven't..."

Joshua finally obeyed, calmed down his emotions, and tried to calm down.

After Reinhardt put on the red helmet of the secret service captain again and transformed back into Lieutenant Lawrence, Joshua also left the terrace and returned to the queen's room.

Lieutenant Lawrence watched Joshua return to the Queen's room. At the same time, he softly spoke to a transparent person next to him.

"When did you come?"

"I've been there since the beginning."

In response to his words, the girl's clear voice came to his ears.

"One lie requires more lies to make up for it. If you fail to tell him the truth at the first time, it will be irreversible. Why don't you, Levi, take this opportunity to break away from the association just like you said to Joshua?"

how?"

"It's not unrelated to you. You and Joshua have met more times than I have. What are your plans, Ling?"

"The two of us break away from the association together? It's not impossible to consider it. But the association owes me a debt of gratitude first, and I also have my own considerations before repaying this debt."

"In this case, the same goes for me. As long as I hold the Rock Eater in my hand for one day, I will still be the Sword Emperor of the Body-Eating Snake."

"Are you worried about Professor Wiseman? After all, he is a poisonous snake, and it is difficult to reassure people at any time."

"I haven't heard anything about what happened to Valut and the others. Is this also the professor's arrangement?"

"Let's put it this way. The first phase of the gospel plan is about to come to an end. By the way, it would be better to tell you something. There is a ring guardian named Fantasia at the bottom of the seal area. After the first seal is released

When the time comes, they will take action again because of the power from the Ring of Radiance. Although those guys are not as good as my Patil Matil, they are also very powerful puppet weapons, at least better than the Jade Curtain that the association is developing.

It's much stronger. In my opinion, that Alan Richard can only deal with one at most. If you encounter two or more at the same time, it's probably a dead end. Well, killing that Richard seems to be teaching

It’s within the plan.”

"Professor that bastard..."

Reinhardt spat and immediately walked back to the queen's room from the terrace. After confessing to the queen, he hurriedly left the queen's palace and rushed towards the treasure house of Grancel City at a speed that was enough to leave an afterimage.
