68 Empress Is Dead? No, Fool! The Empire Endures, Her Majesty Is Eternal! Bonus Chapter [45]
(Additional update for "konstanzzz" brothers [4/5])
"A group of Nightborne civilians will come to Nightwell Fortress in the afternoon. Send someone to receive them, bathe and change their clothes, and then arrange for them to enter the Nightwell platform at midnight to pay homage to the glory of Empress.
Then, let Empress's maids each take some children for training.
These highly malleable and simple children must be treated according to the high standards of the palace period, and they must be trained into qualified palace servants!
As for those adults.
Arrange some chores for them and free the original palace servants from daily labor. I need them to resume their previous responsibilities and be ready to serve any request of Empress!"
In Nightwell Fortress, the returning Vashj gives orders to his lieutenants.
These are Queen Azshara's former palace maids. In addition to their beautiful faces, vicious hearts, and full palace fighting skills, they are as good at fighting as Vashj.
This is a required course for Empress maid.
Although His Majesty Azshara is extremely powerful, it is impossible for Empress to handle all chores by himself.
Her old man's energy must be used on more important "national affairs". For example, ten thousand years ago, Empress loved to watch those courtiers who passionately loved her in the court and drew their swords to duel for Empress's favor.
Yes!
This is also part of the "people's heart" and the king's majesty.
At least Azshara thinks this kind of "jealousy" is the privilege of the beautiful king.
However, Vashj's order today still made these ten thousand year old maids open their eyes in confusion. Some of them boldly looked at each other, and Ms. Naz'jar, the maid who had been Vashj's adjutant for a long time, whispered:
"His Majesty's court has not had a new member for ten thousand years. Our current scale is enough to ensure the order of Nightwell Fortress. Furthermore, I don't think Nightborne civilians are qualified to serve the great Empress.
They are of low blood and rude behavior, and cannot understand the greatness and nobility of Empress. I can't imagine how blasphemous it would be to let their dirty hands touch the throne of Empress!
Vashj, I'm not questioning you, but..."
"You're just questioning me!"
Vashj didn't give her subordinates, who had eight hundred thoughts to turn their eyes, a chance to refute, she scolded:
"Without Empress's high standards of perfection, apart from meeting His Majesty every day, each of you would hide in your room, drink and have fun! Don't think I don't know how lazy and depraved you have been over the past ten thousand years.
Forget it before, after all, I have been lost before.
But now that I'm back, this situation cannot continue. If one day in the future Empress wakes up from her peaceful sleep and sees that her carefully selected maids have turned into a group of indifferent bastards, how disappointed will she be?
You guys!
How dare you let down the great Empress with your ridiculous indulgence?
Starting from today, each of you must restore me to the level of conscientiously serving Empress ten thousand years ago.
I will personally check that you are acting in accordance with court etiquette.
Clean up all the "contraband" in your respective rooms for me, and deal with everything that needs to be cleaned. I'll put the ugly words in front of you. If anyone is unqualified, then get out of the palace and take care of the imperial garden outside.
Those gardens are overgrown with weeds!
Open your eyes and take a look, is this what Empress's garden should look like?
Ten thousand years ago, anyone who managed the garden like this would have been sent to the court mage's laboratory to be used as a test subject!"
This scolding made the maids even more confused.
Yes, they have indeed fallen into depravity in the past ten thousand years, but everyone is like this, not just them, but also the Forbidden Guard Warriors under General Varo'then, aren't they the same?
Nightborne Common people will still sing praises to Empress and pray for her to wake up, but those close to her who serve her every day know better than anyone else that Empress will most likely not wake up.
Ten thousand years have passed since then. Every night, before falling asleep, someone would look forward to seeing Empress's perfect smile at dawn the next day.
But the more time passes, the fainter those desires become.
Azshara's maids are the most loyal to her, but even they are already decadent, which shows how disorganized and degenerate Empress's court has become.
Archmage Elisande may have similar reasons for not targeting them in these years.
These scattered Empress ministers are no longer worthy of attention.
It's not that they are not determined enough, they have just been disappointed for so long that when they look up at Empress's majestic appearance every day, they no longer have any Consecration impulses of desire and devotion in their hearts.
However, these maids are worthy of being the close ministers who were personally promoted by Azshara during the empire. Their brains are as good as their beauty. Several leaders have realized something from the change in Vashj's attitude.
They pulled Vashj aside. Ms. Naz'jar looked around, stretched out her hand to press her beating heart, and whispered:
"Tell us honestly, what are you doing on this trip? Forget it, I'll ask directly, have you met His Majesty?"
"I can't answer any of your questions, especially about this one."
Vashj said with a straight face and a firm tone:
"Because I have not been allowed to tell this matter to others, so don't ask. I am just warning you, don't forget Empress's kindness and favor to us, and don't live up to Empress's expectations and favor for us.
I will never let go of those who dare to disappoint His Majesty!"
The head maids immediately became excited.
Vashj is tantamount to admitting the fact in disguise. Everyone knows that Vashj regards Empress as a god. This guy is the most stubborn palace maid, and she has not hesitated to win over Archmage for ten thousand years.
Her loyalty to Empress comes from the depths of her soul, and she cannot be allowed to lie on all issues regarding Empress.
That is to say
The head maids all turned their heads and looked in the direction of Nightwell.
Their eyes also became hot.
Nowadays, this Forbidden Guard only has its noble reputation left in the Highborne society. They don't really desire a decadent life, they just have no hope in life.
But if Empress will wake up
"I review!"
Ms. Naz'jar lowered her head and said honestly to Vashj:
"I accepted Archmage's bribe and will secretly convey to her some trends about Forbidden Guard. I will continue to do so in the future, but you will have to review each information I convey first."
"Humph."
Vashj sneered and looked at the others.
Several head maids confessed their infidelity, which means that the current mess is too bad. If it were ten thousand years ago, these bastard traitors would have been demolished by Vashj himself!
Someone actually has the audacity to hide the long dress worn by Empress! Although most of Empress's clothes are worn once and then destroyed, in this case, it is not a big problem to hide one or two pieces as "souvenirs".
But Vashj just wants to ask, what on earth do you want to do?!
Do you use the Empress long skirt to give your facial hair Cos Empress in private to increase attack speed?
Do you still think about it in your head?
"Give you a day."
Vashj moved his fingers and said coldly:
"At this time tomorrow, I want to see you 10,000 years ago!
Naz'jar sisters!
You immediately inform the Empress female warrior chief Shivara of the palace, I want her to personally train those Nightborne children, and the absolute loyalty to Empress must be captured from these dolls!
You are personally responsible for the academic training and court etiquette instruction of these new maids.
Athissa sisters!
You are the most conspiratorial master of intrigue among us.
I want you to take action immediately, find those civilians and lower-class nobles in Suramar City who are dissatisfied with the corrupt rule of Elisande, and establish a lower-class force loyal to Empress in the shortest possible time and twist them into a rope.
Valys sisters!
You are the courtesan and diplomat of the court. You immediately look for a suitable palace in Nightwell Fortress to transform into a banquet hall for Empress. It is up to you to select loyal nobles who can cooperate and turn Nightborne's political power into the hand of power of Empress.
We not only have to win over the lower levels, but also appease the upper levels.
Do you have an alternative target?"
"That must be Mooncounty Family, my lady."
Ms. Valys, who had a coquettish appearance and was dressed luxuriously, covered her mouth and laughed out loud. The head maid of the palace, who had lived the most extravagant life in ten thousand years, had seven faces of Forbidden Guard, and "turned the cards" every night, seemed to have regained her former passion.
She blinked and said:
"Mooncounty Family is a noble family in Suramar City that is famous for being tolerant to the lower class. They are full of goodwill towards the civilians who live a miserable life under Elisande.
Even though they have never expressed their political leanings and have always been Archmage's loyal ministers, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sir Yuejun and the bastards around Archmage are not the same person.
Leave this to me, madam.
I will hold a party of courtiers that suits Empress's taste as soon as possible, but it is best if you and General Varo'then appear together at that party, so as to express his noble and high-class taste."
"Very good, you haven't abolished it yet, which makes me very happy."
Vashj nodded with satisfaction. She looked at the decadent palace in front of her and said:
"Let Empress's palace run, sisters, I hope that on the day your majesty wakes up, you can feel that her beautiful home is no different from what it was thousands of years ago.
She was so sad that the whole world had turned its back on her.
But there is still us!
We are His Majesty's last closest friends, and a confidant should act like a confidant. I heard that the prince of Quel'dorei is about to get married. Ten thousand years ago, Sunstrider family was also an important minister of Empress. For this kind of thing, a palace maid must go to express condolences on behalf of Empress.
Let sisters Shirakess go.
She often served as Empress's special envoy ten thousand years ago. However, Sunstrider made a rebellious move after all. Although today is different from the past, she cannot give them too much sweetness to avoid losing the majesty of Empress.
Just pick some Empress used jewelry from the palace and give it to Prince Kael'thas's fiancée as a gift.
Oh, no female elf in this world can resist such a gift."
"Uh"
Several head maids looked at each other, and Ms. Naz'jar whispered awkwardly:
"Well, the jewels in Empress's treasure house have been "collected" by the nobles under Elisande under various names. This is... ahem, this is a "problem left over from history"!"
"Huh?"
Vashj looked at her sisters who were sweating coldly and said in a long voice:
"You are really capable. Since the treasures on the books are gone, just use your private treasures to replace them. I don't care anyway!"
If Empress can't find even a decent piece of jewelry when he wakes up, you will have to bear the wrath of Empress yourself!"
After saying that, Vashj strode away.
She didn't want to stay with this group of insects, so as not to affect her loyalty. At the same time, she was planning to find a time to return the jewelry in her "little treasure house" without anyone noticing.
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
Well, although I have collected hundreds of pieces of clothes and jewelry worn by Empress in the past ten thousand years, my starting point is definitely different from these insects!
I did this to ensure that Empress's personal belongings would not be desecrated by outsiders.
This is an act of unquestionable loyalty.
Well, Ms. Vashj easily convinced herself. At the same time, she straightened her clothes and glanced at her purple royal underwear. She felt that it would be better for her to change to a more "low-key" underwear in the future.
She quickly entered the depths of Nightwell that were firmly guarded by the Forbidden Guards.
Varo'then's Imperial Guards have had many bad habits in the past ten thousand years, but because they occasionally went on expeditions, their depravity has not been as exaggerated as that of the maids. At least they still look as majestic on the outside as they did ten thousand years ago.
The spy master walked into the inner hall, and then saw Queen Azshara sleeping in the brightest stream of Nightwell in the gorgeous starry sky.
Empress is sleeping in a perfect floating posture in the magic flow filled with time energy.
Her limbs were relaxed and stretched, her long white hair flowed in a very artistic manner, her beautiful face had not faded over time, and her eyes were closed tightly as if she couldn't bear to see her empire in such decline.
In front of this flow of "divine" energy, Empress's most loyal General Varo'then half-knelt in front of His Majesty in a posture of prayer and meditation.
This has been his normal state for thousands of years.
Like an ascetic, he spends most of his time here with his Majesty every day.
Perhaps in Varo'then's heart, such days are the happiest days. At least when Empress is sleeping, she only belongs to him.
"I'm back, Varo'then."
Vashj lowered her voice in the place where Empress was sleeping, and she said:
"You are Empress's most trusted captain of the bodyguard. I will not hide it from you. I met Your Majesty in Pandaria. She suppressed ten thousand years of disaster for our Pandaren friends in that friendly country.
Empress has never given up on protecting her subjects and territory, but the outside world has misunderstood her."
Varo'then should be very excited.
But Vashj didn't notice Varo'then's statement. She stepped forward in surprise and saw an abnormal blue-gray color floating on Varo'then's face, which made the spy master suddenly anxious.
Why did this bastard take poison?
Now that she couldn't care less, Vashj pulled up Empress's captain of the guard and punched Varo'then in the stomach. Her "Forbidden Guard power" was so exaggerated now that Varo'then almost died on the spot with this punch.
The pain made Forbidden Guard leader's eyes widen, and he vomited out all the toxins and blood in his stomach with a cry.
He is still in a state of poisoning, but the constant contact and fusion with Nightwell's magic power has made Varo'then a semi-god-level warrior Demon Sword. His self-healing ability is also quite strong, and he will not be tortured to death by the poison.
The premise is that he does not want to die.
"Why did you take poison?"
Vashj grabbed his neck and yelled:
"Your Majesty needs loyal ministers like you and me to serve her. How dare you, a coward, let your Majesty down?"
"Your Majesty. Your Majesty has passed away."
Varo'then groaned in pain:
"Just a few days ago, our Empress and my Empress stopped breathing. His Majesty is dead! I failed to protect my Majesty, I let Light of Lights down, I deserve to die!"
"Oh, this thing, idiot! Your Majesty is not dead. He belongs to Eternal Life. That's just because His Majesty's soul entered the kingdom of the dead and launched a punishment expedition against the arrogant Eternal Oness!
That was His Majesty's personal expedition.
You don't have to worry about Her Majesty's safety, she will definitely return in glory."
Vashj told Varo'then what he saw and heard in Nalak'sha Engine, and the latter's eyes with a lifeless look gradually brightened.
Especially when he heard that His Majesty Azshara asked Vashj to tell him that in order to reward him for his ten thousand years of loyal defense, His Majesty allowed him to leave a kiss on her cheek, Varo'then, this demigod and strong man, became unusually shy.
He looked at His Majesty Azshara in the light in a daze.
Your Majesty has always known the madness in his heart, so instead of punishing him, he gave him the greatest honor.
But how dare he blaspheme his own supreme being?
At this moment, all the isolation, loneliness, and sadness that had been guarded for thousands of years were gently soothed like the thirsty earth being moistened by rain.
Worth it!
Sajia's life is worth it!
"In order to welcome His Majesty's awakening in the future, we must reform the Forbidden Guard and the palace that are now in decay."
Vashj whispered:
"This requires your cooperation."
"I will absolutely cooperate."
Varo'then said dumbly:
"I don't know much about politics, so I leave the reform of the palace to you. I will immediately start training the Guards. Please rest assured, Ms. Vashj, when Your Majesty wakes up, she will definitely see her invincible Forbidden Guard fighting for her.
But Elisande.
That despicable and arrogant person will not allow us to act like this. How are you going to deal with her? Do you need me to carry out an assassination myself? I am happy to do it for my majesty, and I am sure that the arrogant and arrogant Elisande will never escape."
"That guy has been secretly studying the power of Nightwell, and time is protecting her."
Vashj shook his head and said:
"Assassination is useless to her, and we don't have to use such extreme methods. Before Empress wakes up, we will deal with her in a king's way.
Don't let that guy taint Empress's eyes anymore, otherwise it will prove that we servants are too incompetent.
You go and take a rest."
"I have to complete my blessings and meditation here. Don't worry about these poisons. As long as I want to live, these poisons cannot harm me."
Varo'then rejected this request.
Vashj didn't insist. She knew that this guy's loyalty and admiration for Empress had reached a pathological level. Who dared to discuss this with him? Varo'then really dared to pick up a sword and kill someone.
But before leaving, Vashj reminded:
"Your Majesty allows you to kiss her, but only once. You must not do anything too offensive. I will keep an eye on you."
"Shut up!"
Varo'then scolded:
"How dare you say such unbridled and obscene things in front of me! How could I do such disgusting things? Your Majesty is eternally holy. How could she have the kind of desires that only despicable mortals like us have?"
Vashj!
You'd better examine your corrupt mind!"
"You ride on the horse"
Vashj, who had been turned against the general, looked at the upright Varo'then like he was looking at an idiot. She felt that this guy was really amazing, in every aspect.
I had no choice but to leave.
There is no way to talk about this kind of neurosis.
After the spy master left, Varo'then frowned and looked at the fist marks left on his armor.
That was Vashj's punch just now when he "rescued him", but this armor was made of Arcane Alloy washed by Nightwell's ten thousand years of magic flow. This thing is also a little softer than Elementium Steel. How strong is Vashj's hand?
What on earth did that guy go through?
However, these are not important!
Varo'then gasped and looked at His Majesty in the light. He swallowed his saliva and walked into the magic flow of time in front of him in a shy, expectant and anxious way.
Time was slowing down his movements, but he did not dare to leave a profane kiss on His Majesty's perfect cheek. In the end, he could only hold up His Majesty's toes like a pilgrim, and gently kissed Azshara's perfect toes as time continued to slow down.
Enough!
That's enough. It would be rude to continue.
Moreover, His Majesty only said to kiss once, and there was no time limit. Maybe he could do it tomorrow, but he couldn't think about it anymore, it was too blasphemous!
Supreme Queen Azshara.
I will definitely guard your eternal throne for you!
