#257 - Section 257
Living each day carefree would naturally make her the happiest woman in the world.
Deep down, she resented all of this.
But this hatred wasn't directed at Snow White, but rather anger at the injustice of the world.
Although she envied everything about Snow White, she wouldn't kill her because of it.
After all, Snow White was her stepdaughter.
Everything she had now came from Snow White's father.
She couldn't bring herself to kill this innocent girl.
However, since the Magic Mirror dared to say such things to her, it proved it must have a reason to convince her to believe it.
The Magic Mirror didn't say much, and a picture slowly appeared on the mirror's surface.
The blurry picture seemed to reflect the future that was about to happen.
Although it was only a fragmented future, the Queen saw what she was about to experience.
Snow White fleeing, the seven dwarves in the forest, a tall and mighty prince.
And the final scene was her, whose rule had been overthrown, dancing in a pair of iron shoes burned red by flames, until she died of exhaustion.
Although it was just a picture, she seemed to feel the real scene that was about to happen.
Was this the future she was about to face?
"Your Majesty, this is the future I foresee. If you don't kill Snow White now, then the future Snow White will overthrow everything you have now."
The Magic Mirror's seductive voice echoed in the Queen's ears.
"Shut up."
The Queen scolded in a low voice, and slowly took a deep breath.
Although she couldn't be sure that she would really be killed by Snow White in the future.
But the scenes she saw were enough to give her a reason to kill Snow White in advance.
She wouldn't gamble on a tragic future with her own kindness.
Even if the chance of this happening was very small.
Killing Snow White was inevitable.
But the most important thing now was the guy who broke the Magic Mirror.
Although the soldiers of the Chris Kingdom had returned safely.
But she didn't know what was the relationship between this mysterious wizard and Earl Yallman?
If it was just a wizard who happened to be passing by and meddling, that would be fine.
At worst, she would deal with Earl Yallman slowly after he left.
But if this guy had already been won over by Earl Yallman, that wouldn't be a good thing for her.
After all, with her current strength, even with the power of the Magic Mirror, she couldn't find a way to defeat this wizard.
Unless she could find a way to win this wizard over to her side.
"This, it's not impossible."
The Queen's eyes flickered.
Money, power, status, prestige, or a woman!
This guy must have a reason for helping Yallman.
No matter what reason he helped the Yallman Kingdom for, she was confident that she could offer higher stakes.
Even at the cost of everything.
She was determined to get the Yallman Kingdom.
Chapter 190: Size Also Counts as a King!
"He runs pretty fast."
Rhode looked at the disappearing phenomenon in the sky, with a helpless expression on his face.
Although he could break the Magic Mirror's shackles, the Magic Mirror's main body was not here.
What trapped him before was just the magic formed by the Magic Mirror's power.
However, forcibly breaking the magic would definitely have a certain degree of backlash, so this guy shouldn't be feeling well now.
The only pity was those escaping soldiers.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Magic Mirror, these soldiers should have already become prey for the Death Apostles.
But now it barely met his expectations.
Looking at the undead army wandering on the battlefield, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Rhode's eyes.
Although he didn't completely swallow this fat piece of meat, the current number of the undead army exceeded 5,000.
This level of strength was completely enough to destroy a small kingdom.
"Put these guys away."
Rhode looked at the Death Apostle and said slowly.
He wasn't the only one who was pulled into the mirror world just now, there was also the Death Apostle and his undead army.
Looking at the dazed expression on his face, it was clear that he hadn't recovered yet.
The Death Apostle obediently put away all the undead, followed behind Rhode, and walked towards the castle.
Although he didn't know what had just happened, the induction between the marks told him that the one in front of him was the real Rhode.
As for the guy just now, although he had the same appearance and ability, the difference in soul couldn't be changed.
Bringing the Death Apostle to the bottom of the castle, looking at the tightly closed castle gate, Rhode looked up at the city wall.
Suddenly, pairs of fearful eyes came into view.
Although he saved these guys, the strength he showed was enough to make these ordinary people feel fear.
Powerful strength would earn the awe and envy of others.
But if this strength exceeded a certain range, it would only be replaced by fear.
The current situation was like this.
Dragon-slaying warriors, these legendary beings, were certainly sought after and admired by everyone. This was the instinct to admire the strong.
But truly seeing a strong person who could slay dragons would also instinctively feel fear.
This was the so-called Yegong's love for dragons.
However, Rhode had no interest in these ordinary people's views at all.
Whether it was fear or awe, admiration or fear, it meant nothing to him.
His gaze would not linger on these ants for a moment.
"Open the door!"
The faint words spread to the top of the city wall, instantly making everyone on the city wall tremble.
Although they were scared to death in their hearts, after the fear came obedience from the heart.
Clatter!
Without even going through the Knight Commander's order, the soldiers opened the city gate on their own.
The prestige brought by the dragon-slaying warrior had become a symbol of power at this moment.
Even the Knight Commander didn't feel anything wrong.
"Respected sir, allow me to report this matter to His Majesty the King."
Rhode had just walked into the castle when he saw the Knight Commander running down from the city wall in a hurry.
The Knight Commander knelt on the ground in front of Rhode, with unprecedented awe in his attitude and expression.
There was also a frenzy from the heart, which even he himself couldn't feel.
For any knight, being able to slay a dragon was the greatest achievement in this life.
The title of Dragon Slayer was even more attractive than becoming a king.
How many knights dreamed of becoming a Dragon Slayer.
And now a true warrior who had slain a dragon appeared in front of him.
If it weren't for a little restraint in his heart, he felt that he would probably show a fanatical and admiring expression like those noble ladies standing on the street welcoming their triumphant return.
Even so, the frenzy from the heart couldn't be concealed.
"Go!"
Rhode nodded, not feeling anything wrong.
The Knight Commander rushed back to the palace to report to the king.
Rhode led the Death Apostle back to the palace unhurriedly. After arriving at the palace, he found that the entire palace was bustling.
All the maids were busy arranging things, as if preparing for a grand banquet.
"Knight Rhode!"
Earl Yallman, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked over with open arms and a face full of enthusiasm.
His eyes were filled with frenzy as he looked at Rhode.
If Rhode made him awe before because of his strength.
Then Rhode, who had now slain the dragon and saved the Yallman Kingdom, was simply like a god in his heart.
If he hadn't already made a marriage agreement with the King of the Auston Kingdom.
He really wanted to marry his daughter to Rhode now.
Only such a warrior was worthy of becoming his daughter's husband.
As for the gap in status and title?
In front of the title of Dragon Slayer, what was the position of a mere earl?
Even the most honorable Emperor of the Divine Roman Empire would have to give the greatest respect to a warrior who could slay dragons.
Earl Yallman enthusiastically took Rhode's hands and went directly to the banquet hall, letting Rhode sit with him in the main seat.
Showing off the equal status of the two to the surrounding nobles and ministers.
The nobles and ministers who were gathered around did not mean to refute this scene.
Instead, one by one, they looked in awe, sizing him up with curiosity.
After all, with the reputation and status brought by the Dragon Slayer and the person who saved the Yallman Kingdom.
If etiquette didn't allow it, no one would object even if Rhode sat in the main seat.
But how could Earl Yallman, as the king, sit in the secondary seat? It was not in accordance with etiquette.
So he could only settle for the next best thing, the two of them sitting in the main seat at the same time.
"Today, thanks to Knight Rhode, the conspiracy of the Chris Kingdom was thwarted, and this group of shameless invaders was repelled."
"As a reward for Knight Rhode, I will grant him the title of Baron and a piece of territory."
After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere of the banquet was at its peak.
The drunken Earl Yallman suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
The moment the voice fell, the entire banquet hall was silent.
