Hillis smiled wryly:

"Patriarch, there is something even more shocking."

"what?"

After speaking, the old man asked astutely:

"Who was Baratheon from before?"

"Princess Myrmeland Westeros and King Trajan Westeros!"

These two names are both incredibly impressive.

Wang Siben was already quite extravagant, and then the capital actually went there??

"The Supreme One, the Supreme One has passed away?"

"Yes, Patriarch."

The old man's mouth gaped open in a comically exaggerated arc from the shock of the news.

This is completely at odds with his usual kindness and occasional solemnity.

So much so that the little ones watching nearby couldn't help but laugh.

When they realized the old man was looking at them, the little ones quickly shut up again.

Then, as if he felt that simply keeping quiet wasn't enough, he ran out like the wind.

The adults in the church all smiled kindly at this.

Only then did the old man realize his lapse in composure.

After giving an awkward laugh.

He then asked with a tense expression:

"So what's your task?"

"There are no problems for now, after all, King Trajan has left. And I have once again dealt with those annoying blasphemers!"

“But I still feel like something is not quite right. So I want to see His Majesty.”

Knowing the immense importance of this matter, the old man immediately said:

“Go, Sirius. His Majesty will surely allow you to see her.”

After receiving the old man's permission, Sirius bowed to him and hurriedly walked out of the church.

Upon exiting the gate, one is greeted by a mountaintop city shrouded in a thin mist.

But the most eye-catching thing in the room is undoubtedly the mirror-like emerald green lake.

This lake occupies almost two-thirds of the mountaintop area. The countless other buildings are scattered around the lake in a well-organized manner.

The same was true of the church that Hillis walked out of.

Vines cover the church's stone walls, white doves pacing and cooing. Gardeners prune the branches, filling the courtyard with fragrance, fishermen row their boats on the gently rippling lake. Peace and tranquility surround the mountaintop, time flows leisurely, and the heart finds peace.

Enveloped in a thin mist, peace and tranquility are the only melodies here.

This is also what created the hope of the supreme being here.

Ciri continued walking briskly forward without pausing for a moment.

Then, as if he couldn't see that there was a lake in front of him, he stepped straight onto it.

However, she did not fall into the lake; instead, she walked directly on the lake water.

At the same time, in the reflection of the lake, it can be clearly seen that the Silis here is exactly the same as the Silis of the Human Alliance!

As Ciris walked to the center of the lake, an exquisite mansion emerged from the mist.

Upon seeing this, Silis immediately knelt on one knee and said:

"Your Majesty, I request an audience with you!"

Chapter 362 The Verdant End of June

At Sirise's request, she and the elegant, exquisite mansion gradually disappeared into the mist.

This surprised the people who had knelt and worshipped by the lake after seeing the mansion appear for a moment.

But then they resumed their normal prayers.

Although they rarely saw a mansion disappear so quickly, it was nothing unusual.

Still kneeling on one knee on the lake, Sirius was shrouded in thick fog, with only the mansion gate in front of her barely visible.

She knew that the Queen had granted her an audience.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

After giving her thanks, Sirius stood up, and the thick fog in front of and behind her instantly dissipated.

The tranquil sky and verdant grass set the tone for this place.

But what is most eye-catching is the row of praying figures kneeling with their backs to the mansion in front of the main gate.

Those were statues of young girls, dressed in simple yet elegant nun's robes, kneeling in devout prayer.

It is said that, like this mansion, they were gifts from His Majesty to the Queen.

It was all due to His careful planning.

However, Sirius never understood why His Majesty would place such a row of statues in front of his residence.

It's not that it's not beautiful; in fact, the already beautiful mansion, resembling a garden, appears even brighter and more cheerful against the backdrop of this row of girl statues.

It's just a bit hard to understand.

After all, these are statues placed in front of the Supreme Being. Normally, the prototypes of these statues are either saints who follow the Supreme Being or angels who serve the Supreme Being.

But those statues seem to be entirely imaginary, fictional figures.

This makes it seem a bit strange.

And every time Sirises visited, she couldn't help but turn back to look at him.

It's the same this time.

But this time, she felt that something was wrong.

After carefully examining the problem for a long time without finding any issues, she dared not delay any longer and had no choice but to give up.

Instead, he pushed open the mansion gate and entered the residence of the Supreme Being.

The interior of the mansion was not luxurious. Although the materials used were of high quality, it was still very simple compared to the status of the supreme being.

And the most eye-catching thing here is the books!

It's more like a library than a residence for daily living.

Although you can see a sense of everyday life, the bookshelves filled with books actually take up the most space.

The Patriarch said that all the books here were collected by His Majesty.

This is also very much in line with His Majesty's identity as a recluse.

It is said that the Queen has been managing and maintaining this mansion alone all these years.

It seems that since His Majesty left, taking care of everything he left behind has become the Queen's only solace.

Thinking of this, Sirius couldn't help but look at the huge portrait directly in front of her.

Those are portraits of the Queen and His Majesty.

His Majesty's love for the Queen can also be seen from this, because the painting emphasizes the Queen's presence—naturally, there are only two supreme beings in the painting, but the one in the center is the Queen sitting in a chair, while the gods stand behind the Queen.

They willingly became the supporting role to highlight the main character.

His Majesty even wore a hood to conceal his face, further emphasizing the Queen's presence.

After pausing for a moment, Hillis bowed to the enormous portrait.

She then walked deeper into the mansion.

Everything here was not only designed by His Majesty himself, but His Majesty also captured his favorite autumn day and preserved it here.

Therefore, the room is bright even without the overhead candlelight.

The candlelight made the already cozy mansion seem even more tranquil.

After walking through the long corridor, they finally arrived at the second floor, where Sirius had arrived—the throne room where the Queen was!

Before she could even knock and greet her, the tightly closed solid wood door opened by itself.

Everything inside was revealed.

Compared to the countless books below, this place seems unusually empty, as if everything that was there has been removed.

The only thing there was a throne hidden behind a curtain.

And the beautiful queen whose graceful figure could not be hidden even under the curtains!

"Royal Knight Sirises sends you her highest greetings, Your Majesty!"

Silis knelt down on one knee before the Queen once more.

"Get up, Silis, what happened?"

When the Queen asked, Sirius told her everything she knew and awaited the Queen's judgment.

After a moment, the queen, seated behind the curtain, spoke in a low voice:

"Oh, something like this happened."

"Yes, Your Majesty, so what is your will?"

Since the gods departed, the queen, who had remained behind a veil and never revealed her true face, turned and asked:

"What Baratheon does is none of our business, and I don't want to concern myself with anything there. So, just leave things as they are and remember that this is the only thing we need to do."

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

After speaking, Silis hesitated for a moment before lowering her head and saying:

“However, Your Majesty, the appearance of the Sword and Shield King indicates that things are going out of control. So I fear that my strength alone will be severely lacking.”

“I… I am troubled by this, Your Majesty.”

She wasn't asking for more help; she was just genuinely feeling uneasy.

We hope to receive guidance from the Queen.

Because they are different from the gods who gradually collapse after losing their king.

After losing her god, the queen quietly returned here to continue protecting this land and its remaining inhabitants.

Although the Queen rarely left the mansion, which had become her spiritual home, she remembered everyone outside.

It's not just about remembering their names, but about remembering everything about them.

This is true for every generation!

Therefore, the mansion was the Queen's refuge, and the Queen was their refuge.

However, that's what the rest of the people think.

As the only royal knight at present.

Hillis knew more.

For example, this mansion was not a place of spiritual sustenance for the Queen.

The Queen was not as calm as others had always perceived her to be.

The queen has been trapped in a curse.

When she was a little girl, she accidentally saw the Queen's tears hidden behind her veil.

In this small hilltop town, newlyweds often choose to hold their weddings in the lush green of June.

That's an occasion the Queen will definitely attend at some point throughout the year.

She will personally officiate at the wedding and bestow blessings upon the newlyweds.
