Chapter 12 Passion

Ashu Rufate returned to the door. He stood in charge of the alert like the giant man named Faliss he had just seen. It must be said that although wearing armor made him feel familiar, standing guard was completely different. He believed that he had never stood guard in the past, or at least rarely, because he soon felt extremely bored and did not know how to pass the time.

This is mainly because there is no third party in this area - the Queen's dormitory. Although Scadra had reminded that this was the "back hall" and there were fewer outsiders. But the problem is that this is not "fewer", but there is no one at all. Since standing in this position, Asu Ruffat did not see anything with two legs moving outside.

Time passed by minute by minute. When Ashu Rufate was so bored that he felt that he was going to get moldy, he heard the movement of the door behind him.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll send your tableware away. I'll finish the homework I assigned during this period. If I find that I haven't finished it when I come back..." Jiana's voice revealed a hint of severity. "Then double the time to study tonight!"

With this sentence, Jana walked out of the room. She held a tray in her hand, which was the queen's breakfast utensils. When she came out, she glanced at Ash Rufat with a squint, but immediately closed the door and turned her head and left.

It's a bit strange. Shouldn't the queen's food, clothing, daily life be the responsibility of the maids in the palace? Even if the queen is a little girl... While Ashu Rufate was thinking about the many strange things she saw today, he heard a cry from the door. "Ahu Rufate, come in!"

Although it is the voice of a very young child, there is a faint authority inside. Of course, this may be just a psychological illusion. If Ashu Rufate didn't know that the other party was the queen, he might think that this little girl was just pretending.

Ashurufat walked into the door. According to the etiquette rules, he should have performed a half-kneeling ceremony, but he was standing. This was not because he didn't know the rules, but because he felt it was unnecessary. Of course, it didn't matter at the moment. Anyway, the old supervisor Scadra also said that he was a newcomer and did not follow etiquette.

The queen was leaning against the table, holding a pen in one hand and pressing the paper in the other. The movements were not much different from ordinary noble girls of this age, but she stared at Ash Rufate with her eyes. Maybe she wanted to pretend to be fierce, but she was too young and that cute face could not give people the concept of "viciousness". To be honest, this expression just made people feel fun.

"The matter of that day... is not allowed to be told!" said the queen. "Especially, I can't tell Scardra and Jana, otherwise I'll send you to prison."

"Why can't you say it?" Ashu Rufat asked. It was indeed a child, and the first thing was that he couldn't hold back.

"If I told them... I would be nagged to death! I can't say it anyway, do you know?!"

"Okay, I understand." Ashu Rufate replied. Just think about it with his toes and you can tell that this kind of "the queen is lost after the palace" must not be said. Even if the little girl doesn't mention it, he cannot take it out casually and talk about it, otherwise it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

"I really won't tell you?" This time, it was the little girl's turn to express her doubts. Perhaps she didn't expect Ash Rufate to agree so simply.

Asu Ruffat shrugged without answering, then walked out and returned to his post. This was an extremely rude act, but since Scadra had said that he was not etiquette, what else could others say?

This little girl should have shouted "Irregular!" angrily and anxiously. But Ashu Rufate was a little surprised to find that he had not heard the expected voice.

Ashu Rufat turned his head and saw the little girl's angry expression. However, because of her appearance, even if she was angry, she would not look terrible, but would only look cute.

But this guard... doesn't seem easy to be a good person. Although he is just a queen without actual power, he should definitely be in trouble.

Ash Rufate suddenly realized that he had not done any preliminary information. This wonderful atmosphere, the back hall where no one was acting, the remote queen's dormitory... a tutor who worked as a part-time maid... studying in the dormitory... there were originally eight personal guards who now only had three... the queen who sneaked out of the palace... These all revealed a clear inconsistency. What was the reason?

It seems that she was thrown into the center of a storm without any preparation. But why didn't Aunt Mary explain it before she set out? Was she unable to see, or was it all intentional?

Jiana came back soon. However, another strange man came back with her. This person's dress was exactly the same as Ash Rufate, and you can see at a glance that this person is also one of the three personal guards.

"Hey, this is Ashu Rufat." The strange man raised his hand to greet him from a distance. "Ri'an."

"Ri'an." Ashrufate looked at his colleague carefully. This person's figure is similar to his age, his facial features are upright and his face is smiling, but if you look closely, you can notice that the other person's physical behavior naturally reveals a kind of tempered agility.

Jana soon walked into the room and closed the door after entering. The strange man came to Ash Rufate.

"My name is Essin," the man introduced himself, laughing as bright as a spring flower. "I have heard about you from the chief executive. From today on, we seem to be colleagues. Haha, to be honest, if I had known that a third person had come, I would not have to take Falyssian's class today."

"Ah, how do we schedule our shifts?" To be honest, this is what Ash Rufate wants to know the most at the moment.

"Before you, of course, Falyss and I took turns to come." Essim replied. "Everyone is doing a day off like a day. To be honest, it's really tiring... But with you, the situation will be much better. That's it," Esim said. "In theory, it's not appropriate to be familiar with the environment on the first day. Since you have been here for a long time, you must be a little familiar with the situation."

"It's all like this... nothing happened?"

"Oh, in fact, there is still something happening." Essin replied. "Sometimes we have to accompany our little queen to the main hall to attend the imperial meeting. At that kind of meeting, we have to learn to close our mouths and ears. Sometimes we have to accompany our little queen to learn horse riding in the garden. Of course, we have to be her opponent and practice toy swords with her. In addition, we are standing guard here... that's almost all our work."

"That's all?" Asu Ruffat asked. Of course, this was also a casual question. He himself didn't think that being a guard would have any other daily work content.

"That's all. I hope there are really scenes like a group of assassins sneaking in. Unfortunately, in this palace," Essin made a helpless gesture. "There are only these things."

"However," Essin patted Eshu Rufat's shoulder enthusiastically, "Since you are a newcomer today, let me come on duty first. Go back and have a good rest and be mentally prepared for this boring work. Let's make an appointment. I'll be on duty today, and Falys is on duty tomorrow, and you will come to pick up Falyss's duty the day after tomorrow. How about you?"

"Can this shift be decided like this?"

"Of course, it's up to who can decide for the three of us! That's it. You go back first."

It was strange. One colleague had a strange hostility towards me, while the other was a little bit unnatural... But I saw enough strange things today, so I didn't care about one more. Ashu Rufate thought. Then he suddenly realized that when Essin mentioned the queen just now, he didn't seem to have any respect.

"Your Majesty, please let me be on duty on behalf of Eshu Rufat." Essin turned his head and called out into the room. "He is a newcomer, and it will take some time to get to know the situation."

"Okay." A woman's voice came from it. However, Ashu Rufat could hear it. It was not the queen's voice, but the voice of Jana.

Ashu Rufate was about to leave, but saw a slightly hunched figure walking over in front of him.

It was an old woman wearing a black cloak. This old woman was not the kind of Aunt Mary who was old (of course, Aunt Mary was not very old), but she was agile in her hands and feet, but the real old man who was slow to move. The old woman slowly walked towards this side, obviously she was coming to the queen's dormitory.

"This is..." Ashu Rufat asked Essin.

"Anla, Anla, this mother-in-law is a special person. You don't have to worry about her at all... If she wants to go in and see the queen, just pretend you didn't see it, don't stop her."

"Special character?"

"Well," Essin said in a very light voice. "I heard that it was the lover of the first-generation king... that is, the queen's grandfather.... Although he did not leave any descendants, because of this relationship, he always lived in the palace. Although she was old, no one dared to look down on her in this palace. Because the queen seemed to have been entrusted to her for care since she was born... so she has a special status. In short, there is no conflict with our work at all."

Ashurf nodded.

"By the way, when you go out, tell the chief supervisor Scadra about the duty and ask him to inform Falicus so that he would not forget to come to pick up my shift tomorrow." Essin added another sentence.

"I understand." Ashu Rufate replied. The position of knighthood in one year seems far from as simple as expected.
