Mage Veigar

Chapter 360 Late Night Visit
Clean up the battlefield.

Recruit the civilians.

After dealing with the last batch of dying enemies, Vega successfully made Xia wear the purple-gold crown that symbolized glory and power on the throne.

starting today.

Xia has shed her princess status and officially become the king of the kingdom, and she has also been given the title of Saint Laurent XIX. Although Xia allowed Vega to call her by her name in private, Vega refused.

Vega will never leave any evidence behind.

If he really agreed to Xia's request, and someone heard it one day, he might be accused of trampling on the king's dignity by someone with ulterior motives, so Vega did not allow himself to make mistakes on such details.

But after the banquet on the night of the coronation.

However, Vega did something even more outrageous than calling him by his name. If the people knew about this, even if he had made countless contributions, he would most likely be held accountable by his enraged subjects.

So what kind of crazy thing did Vega do?

In fact, after the banquet, Vega did not return to the City Lord's Mansion, but followed Xia back to the palace, and his bedroom was only separated from Xia's bedroom by a wall.

In the Holy Dynasty, the king represents supremacy.

The subjects needed to obey the royal bloodline, and the people were only willing to recognize the king of royal bloodline. The subjects and commoners were not qualified to live in the palace. Only servants and guards, as well as underage descendants of the dynasty, could spend the night in the palace.

In other words.

As a subject of Vega, if he lived in the palace, he would be charged with trampling on the dignity of the royal family. If the charge was really brought to justice, he would lose his head.

So why did Vega take the risk and live in the palace?

This is of course because Carol appeared at the coronation ceremony, although Carol did not come out to cause trouble, and even helped Xia eliminate her enemies, allowing her to be successfully crowned.

But Vega was not naive enough to think that Carol had really given up the idea of ​​taking Xia away.

That foolishly loyal man is probably still thinking about taking Xia to join up with Kelison's troops, and then using his troops to go to the west coast to demand punishment and reorganize the counterattack force.

Therefore, Vega had no choice but to move into the palace.

Before Carol shows up, Vega must ensure that Sia stays in Saint Laurent. As long as Sia stays in Saint Laurent for one day, Vega can continue to implement his plan and recruit a large number of soldiers.

If Shia is taken away, Vega's plan will fall apart.

He had made such a mistake once before, so he would never allow himself to fall on the same stone twice.

tick-tock-

The night is long and the moonlight is like water.

Through the window, Vega saw a bright moon.

After the hustle and bustle of the day faded away and all work stopped, a feeling of loneliness suddenly came over me.

It had been a long time since he had enjoyed such a peaceful night. Most of the nights he was either worrying about tomorrow's battle or making battle plans all night long...

Maybe it’s because I haven’t slept for a long time.

Vega sadly discovered that at the age when he should be growing, his height did not increase at all. What was even more despairing was that he could have a good sleep after the great victory, but he was disturbed by Carol.

"When can I get a good night's sleep again?"

At this moment, Vega will find that perhaps the most comfortable and peaceful days are those in the officers' dormitory in Kareni, the cadets' dormitory in the Central Military Academy, and the general's villa in the east.

"If we had gone all the way north, we would have reached the Empire by now."

Vega sighed. If he had chosen to go north, there wouldn't have been so many things that happened later. According to the current time, he should have safely returned to the north of the empire and returned to the east through the port city of Lopus.

Regret?
Vega couldn't help but ask himself this question, and the final conclusion was that he had no regrets. Even though he was surrounded by the Kingdom Army on all sides, it would be almost impossible for him to break through the encirclement without reinforcements. Once he ran out of ammunition and food, the city would fall without a fight.

But Vega does not regret living this precarious life.

Although most people, faced with the choice between temporary comfort and risking their lives for a one percent chance of permanent comfort, would prefer the former, because most people would choose something they can see and touch now.

But Veigar is an exception.

Even if the chance is one percent, he would definitely lean towards the latter.

And after all, wouldn't a life without even one adventure be very boring? At least before you die, there should be something that can stir up waves in your heart.

The only regret is that I am alone now.

Just as Vega was laughing at himself, there was a slight noise at the door.

creak-

This is the sound of the door opening.

Since Vega's door was not locked in the palace, the visitor opened it easily.

But Vega did not pick up a weapon.

With his ability as a magician, he could easily sense who was coming.

Ta-ta-ta——

The sound of inaudible footsteps echoed, and Xia sneaked up to Vega's bed. However, Vega stood up and saluted without any tact, saying, "Your Majesty, may I ask what brings you to visit so late at night?"

"General..."

Shia was obviously frightened by Vega. Her face turned red and she said, “I, I’m a little scared, so… so…”

Xia didn't explain why.

However, Vega secretly made a guess: "The assassination and war during the day did scare you, but please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as I am here, I will not allow anyone to hurt you."

"Thank you General."

Xiaya sighed, with an uncertain expression on her face. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "In fact, Xiaya came here secretly just to confirm something with you, General."

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter."

Vega waited for Xia's next words with a puzzled look, but Xia's next words made Vega even more confused.

Shia looked at Vega expectantly: "General, do you still remember our agreement?"

"Promise?"

Vega's tone was filled with doubt, and after hearing what Vega said, Shia's eyes were filled with disappointment that was hard to conceal, and even her face turned pale.

This really scared Vega.

Beads of cold sweat dripped down Vega's forehead. He must not have a conflict with Her Majesty the Queen, who was in his hands at this moment. He began to try hard to recall what kind of agreement he had with Xia.

"Xia is being rude. I won't disturb the general's rest."

Xia tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes and turned around to leave.

But it was at this moment that Vega suddenly had an idea and finally remembered the agreement with Xia: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, I will never forget the agreement with you. You are talking about this matter."

As he spoke, Vega took out something from his arms.
