It was a very fascinating emotion.
It was much like a fondness for something that had been around for a long time. After more than ten years, she had long since become accustomed to Barbarian protecting and watching out for her. She stepped in front of Barbarian and shielded him, just like what Barbarian had done for her every time she met with danger.
She even felt that all of this was a conspiracy that the others had devised.
After all...
The Queen looked at Nora. "The V16 or whatever it's called is with you, right? Are you trying to use this as an excuse to get rid of Barbarian? This way, no one would fight with you for it anymore! But for you to spin lies like this, you're too much!"
At this point, the masked Justin said solemnly, "Your Majesty, they are not spinning lies."
His words made the Queen suddenly look at him.
In this instant, she suddenly realized that Justin was also aware of all this. Therefore, it wasn't just Nora who had set up this trap for her; it was also Justin!
The Queen felt betrayed.
She was here at the Schmidts just for a visit as a guest, but the group of them had all been plotting against her.
The smile on her face disappeared completely, and she revealed a cold and resolute side of herself. She said, "So, you're also part of this, King? Hah. Do you really think that we, the British, are that easy to bully, though? I've already said it: Barbarian is mine. If you don't have any conclusive evidence, then you can forget about taking him away from me! Since I've brought him to the Schmidts, then I will walk out of this place with him safe and well! This stands true even if... I must become enemies with the Schmidts and the Imperial League! We, the British, are not afraid!"
She had pride.
As a Queen, she had never been afraid of anyone.
Justin sighed. "He is not a good man."
Despite that, the Queen still said firmly, "He's not a good man? Barbarian has always been very kind when he protects me. He never kills the innocent indiscriminately, and he has never come to me with even a bit of blood on him! He doesn't like to talk, but I know that he is a kind person!"
A kind person...
Her words stunned Barbarian, whom she was protecting behind herself.
To be honest, the reason why he cleaned himself thoroughly every time he killed someone was exactly the Queen's trust in him.
The Queen had blue eyes as pure as clear water.
Though the Queen was arrogant and always behaved like she was high up in the air, she had the purest heart despite her noble status. Therefore, Barbarian was most afraid of the Queen finding out about his activities...
Thus, he had never left any traces outside that pointed to him being the Queen's bodyguard, fearing that the matter would be brought to the Queen's attention.
But as he looked at the Queen, who was standing in front of him and leaving her back exposed to him with confidence, he suddenly felt that he was not worthy.
He was not worthy of being shielded by such a good Queen.
