All Hail The Queen

Hearing his response, Scarlet ignored him and once again looked at the interface, on the left side; it had three side bars with drawings.

The icons are human, a treasure chest and a paper with a quill.

The human icon probably is for the character interface; the treasure chest should be the inventory and the last one should be for the quest.

Scarlet switched the icon for the quest bar mentally and there she saw three main quests written boldly in gold.

Scarlet ignored the first and the second and focused her attention on the last quest.

Scarlet cursed when she saw the timer on the first quest that she had no time to check what rewards she just received.

Like what Beckhamn said [Scarlet] ordered Aiden Kroft, the commander of the Black Hound Knights, to fight the rebellion with only a small number knights and when she sends off the other knight squads in other places only few were left to protect the capital which was very disadvantageous against the rebel.

Around one hundred people are fighting the rebels while fifty knights remain stationed in the palace in order to protect the queen.

Even so the Black Hounds were doing better although there should be casualties and death of their comrades that should be the reason why a trace of grievance can be heard on Beckhamn's voice earlier.

Scarlet understood, time is precious, especially for her that once again had death knocking at her after six hours.

In fact this is not the first time someone attempted to rebel to be exact this is the fourth rebellion during [her] reign.

The former [Scarlet] is your textbook tyrant villain; evil, cruel and arrogant. She loves the rich and hates the poor, she implements high taxes, ignores the corrupt nobles, murder as she please and is a very lascivious person.

Despite her cruelty no one had successfully overthrown her yet; some say the reasons were she had loyal and formidable subjects like Commander Kroft and the White Ravens that will follow and protect her throne in all cases.Another reason is that [she] had hostages from the prominent nobles families and clans that's why they would support and ignore her tyranny despite but others also said it is because [she] is once blessed by the gods and they tolerated their action causing the people of Avelion slowly losing their faiths towards the gods.

So for almost twelve years the people of Avelion suffered from her reign and now the former [Scarlet] is gone and all the burden was placed on her.

Sighing deeply, she once again calmed down and organized her thoughts.

"Imperial doctor, give me the best grade healing and mana potion you had. Sunshine, you hold the prince and gather the remaining princes and princesses. I will send you some White Ravens in order to protect you." Scarlet ordered the old man that entered with Beckhamn before as she transferred the baby to the maid, Sunshine.

Sunshine was dumbfounded, the queen never cared for her children since the first princess was born and now she even ordered her best guards to protect them.

White Ravens are the personal shadow guards of the queen, they work clean and quiet, sending them ensures the safety of the children if an enemy shows up. Their loyalty to her is one of the reasons why [Scarlet] reigns this kingdom with her tyranny for almost ten years.

"Maybe because the rebels may win anytime that's why the majesty is worried for everyone's safety. I know from the start that the queen loves her children. She is just cold outside but very warm inside." Sunshine, thought and imaginary tear up due to happiness.

While on the other hand, Gilda, the old woman in the Victorian outfit who is [Scarlet]'s handmaiden was bewildered by her actions.

The child in her embrace may be the son of her favorite consort but even the first princess' father who was once her beloved consort never had this treatment.

The moment the princess was born the queen ordered her to send the child in the tower and locked her up and now she ordered to protect all her children?

The handmaiden who thought she knew her majesty very well is now on turmoil.

"Moonlight." Scarlet called and a man dressed in black cloak, black tight clothes and white raven mask with only his mysterious silver eyes and messy silver hair can be seen suddenly appeared that shocked everyone.

Except for Scarlet, this is the first time everyone saw the infamous leader of White Ravens.

"The White Crow sings for the Queen. What is your command, your majesty?" Moonlight, kindly inquired while kneeling.

"Follow Sunshine Lane, gather all of the princes and princesses and protect them. All of them." Scarlet said and emphasized the final sentence.

"Understood, you're Majesty." After receiving the orders Moonlight suddenly disappeared probably issuing some commands while she shifted her gaze on her confused handmaiden.

"Gilda, fetch me a scroll of an Oath of Nyx." Scarlet called her out bringing her out of her trance.

"Your majesty, what will you do with the scroll?" Gilda asked in fret.

"Do not question! And make haste!" Scarlet scolded which makes everyone follow in fluster.

While everyone was busy Scarlet took a glance at the interface again.

[Main Quest #3 - The Rebellion]

Category: Main

Difficulty: A

Clear Conditions: Stop the Rebellion

Time Limit: 6 Hours (Countdown: 05:

44:32)

Compensation: Market Place

Failure: Death ]

15 minutes had passed already.

"Your majesty, here is the healing and mana potion." Scarlet received the potion from the imperial doctor and used [Detection] for safety measures since the queen died for unknown reasons despite having a poison resistance and divine healing.

[Healing potion

•Level: B- grade

•Anomalies: zero]

[Mana potion

•Level: B- grade

•Anomalies: zero]

'It's just a B- grade but this should be enough to give her strength.'

Scarlet then drank the potion as she watched her HP rise from 28/91 to 42/91 and mana from 56/87 to 73/87. The feeling was very new and magical to her, she felt a little bit rejuvenated after being exhausted of giving birth.

At the time Gilda also had returned and handed her the scroll.

"Beckhamn, follow me to the imperial basement." Scarlet ordered as she stood up making the serious knight utterly confused and curious.

"Your majesty you had just finished giving birth." Gilda interfered.

"You should take a break and allow Lord Kroft to do his work because you are also tired from giving birth. Furthermore, it should be the result of Lord Kroft's incapacity as a knight if he ever failed to eliminate the rebels. He ought to be appreciative of your Majesty's choice to give birth to that pest on his behalf". Gilda complain.

Beckhamn frowned.

"As must I respect you, your majesty. I will not tolerate the slander and insult this woman spout for my commander and the young prince." He retorted as he unsheathe his sword.

"Eek! How dare you put your sword in front of your majesty?! Are you one of the rebels?! Guards! Someone is trying to kill the majesty." Gilda screamed as she continued accusing Beckhamn.

"Be quiet Gilda! Beckhamn put that sword down if you don't; I will accuse you for treason." Scarlet commanded, annoyed and looked at Beckhamn sternly the latter only grumbled as he put back his sword.

Scarlet glanced at him and to the interface in front and she sighed, another 17 minutes had already passed again. She is already sweating while thinking strategies and these two are not helping her relax.

She sighed.

"Gilda and Beckhamn follow me to the Imperial basement."
