In Blue Spirit Castle, the queen stood quietly in front of a huge transparent floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the direction of the Hunter Hall.

At some point, she seemed to see something, and a hint of relief finally appeared in her eyes, her eyelids drooped slightly, and she seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Andrea stood beside the queen. The mother and daughter were of similar temperaments, but their eyebrows, eyes and appearances were not very similar. Andrea keenly noticed the changes in her mother's emotions and couldn't help but shouted softly: "Mom?"

The queen turned around and looked at her daughter gently: "What's wrong?"

Andrea said helplessly: "This should be the question I asked. You haven't spoken since you entered the house. Is mom waiting for something? I think you felt something just now..."

The queen chuckled and reached out to caress one of her daughter's long hair. Her glossy palms were solid as if they were real fleshy palms.

After a moment, she sighed helplessly and said, "Little Andrea, the man you like... is really difficult! It's so difficult to convince him to do something! Why do you fall in love with such a strong guy? Alas..."

This time, in order to persuade Durand, the queen instructed the three kings to make a series of actions to show sincerity, and did not hesitate to hand over the century-long rule of the Shepherd City directly.

However, on the other hand, the queen was still wary of Durand considering that her daughter and Durand had not been completely stable, so she was still wary of Durand. In addition, she was in poor condition now, so she was unwilling to meet Durand, for fear that Durand would see that her condition was abnormal. Fortunately, Durand did not show any greed or possessiveness after seeing the Elemental Source Stone, which made the queen breathe a little relieved. The Elemental Source Stone is a test for Durand in a sense.

Although I didn't understand why my mother suddenly mentioned Durand, Andrea still smiled and said happily: "Durand is the kind of man who will never be shaken easily. I don't know why I like it, anyway, I just like it!"

"Everyone says girls are outgoing..." The queen reached out and flicked her daughter's forehead angrily, and said angrily: "...I've seen it!"

He shook his head with a little depressed depression, and the queen's face turned solemn. Her tone became solemn: "Let's stop talking about this... Little Andrea, you're probably wondering why I came out to see you at this time? After all, it's not the time for us to meet at the end of each year. In fact, I have some very important words that I must tell you now."

Andrea was slightly surprised when she heard this.

I heard the queen continue to say: "First of all, at the end of this year, I'm afraid I can't come out to see you. Don't rush to ask why, wait until I finish."

"It's time for you to know some things, but time is limited, and I can't explain them clearly at once."

"... As you have always guessed, Mom and Durand have known each other for a long time. As for my relationship with him... Well, what do you think? He was half of my subordinate before, but now the situation has changed. His power has become so strong that I have to face it seriously. Therefore, for a long time in the future, he will come to the open and become the new master of the Shepherd City."

"What?!" Andrea couldn't help but exclaim.

She was not worried that her man was not strong enough to hold the position of the new master of the Mucheng City. Although she didn't know how strong Durand was, since her mother recognized his power, there was no problem. What Andrea was really worried about was why her mother suddenly made such a decision?

"What about you, mom?" Andrea asked anxiously.

The queen took a deep breath, and involuntarily lowered her voice, saying, "I will go to a deep sleep thoroughly, so that I can recover from my injury in the shortest time."

"Is the most thorough sleep?" Andrea bit her lip.

"Yes." The queen nodded seriously.

"Why did you suddenly make such a decision?" Andrea was still confused.

"Because Durand showed a strong strength that could protect you in place of me," said the queen.

The mother and daughter remained silent at the same time.

After a while, Andrea suddenly smiled, hugged the queen's arm gently, and said, "This is great. When my mother recovers her injuries, our family will be truly reunited! I can only meet once a year, and I can't hate it anymore!"

After a pause, Andrea asked softly: "How long will it take for this sleep?"

The queen thought about it carefully before she said uncertainly: "Well... it's not easy to say. Deep sleeping will speed up my self-healing speed, but this process is not controlled by myself to some extent. I can only say that it can take three to five years, and it can take several months at a short time, and I'm not particularly sure."

"What can I do for my mom during this period?"

"Just protect yourself!"

The queen rubbed Andrea's head dwellingly and said, "Once I enter deep sleep, nothing outside can affect me. In this state, I'm almost impossible to wake up, even if you can't. So, I'm afraid I can't protect you during this period, you have to protect yourself!"

"I understand, don't worry." Andrea showed a bright smile.

"Also, although that little guy Durand is good at strength, character, and development potential, he should not tell him about his mother-daughter relationship for the time being."

"Does mom still not worry about him?" Andrea was a little dissatisfied.

"Be safe." At this point, the Queen was surprisingly determined.

"But I don't want to lie to him." Andrea said in his mother's eyes.

The queen said earnestly: "Didn't we all agree? - When I really restore my strength and have enough confidence to protect you, and then make the relationship public, didn't you agree at that time? This not only concerns the safety of both of us, but also the safety of your father."

"...Okay." Andrea lowered her head.

The queen sighed in her heart, and repeatedly reminded her several times without getting tired of it before continuing: "Last point, ten thousand... ten thousand thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand and ten thousand, have you heard it?"

"Ha?" Andrea blushed and said, "Why... why did you suddenly mention this?"

The queen rolled her eyes and hummed heavily: "What's so shameful about? Isn't it just that matter? Is there anything difficult to talk about with my mother? Humph! But, be serious, don't get pregnant, do you know?"

"I know, I know." Andrea's face was almost burning.

"It's too low, I can't hear it!" The queen didn't let her go.

Andrea gritted her teeth and said, "I know, I know! Isn't it just a safety measure? I remember, I will definitely not get pregnant!!"

The queen nodded with satisfaction: "This is almost the same. OK, I have explained everything I need to explain, and I should leave."

Andrea opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. Finally, she called out "Mom", then hugged the queen tightly and said, "Wake up early."

"Yes." The queen smiled gently: "Yes, sure!"

The body condensed by the purple light faded little by little, and after a moment, it completely dissipated.

...

...

Under the Hunter Hall, Durand suddenly seemed to have some sense and raised his head.

"Uh, what's wrong, Lord Durand?" asked the three kings strangely.

Durand was silent for a while before saying, "It's nothing, I just felt a strange feeling." Durand sensed carefully for a moment, but there was no result. So he shook his head, thinking it was just his illusion.

It was not an illusion, but some extremely subtle changes brought about by a huge will that had always been wandering over the pastoral city.

Even though the queen had been sleeping, she always looked at her daughter Andrea.

And now, she finally put down her burden for the time being and devoted herself to the process of restoring her strength.

After confirming that Durand took over the Shepherd City and became the new Lord of the Shepherd City, the three kings immediately changed their roles and showed full respect and obedience in every move. For example, now, Rhode said respectfully: "Mr. Durand, the situation in the city is not optimistic at present. There were many hunters who were affected and died in the battle before. Now the whole city is in panic, and the staff in the Hunter Hall is seriously insufficient. We are worried that if this continues, it may cause greater problems."

"Well, I know." Durand nodded.

He also understood that the situation in the city is very bad at present, and it is probably worse than the descriptions of the Three Kings! The previous model of the Shepherd City was that the Three Kings made the decision and the Seven Cars implemented their will. But now the Three Kings are safe, but the Seven Cars are injured and the Sweet is useless.

Rhode glanced at Roger and Roth, and then the three kings said in a deep voice in unison: "We hope to hold a grand enough coronation ceremony as soon as possible to establish Lord Durand as the new master of the Pastoral City, and to appease the thoughts of many hunters in the downtown."

This move is indeed very symptomatic.

At present, the biggest worry of hunters in the city is that the shepherd's city has no leader. What if the Yonghui Knight Realm comes again? In this case, Durand stands out publicly and shows his strength, which is undoubtedly the best sedative for hunters.

To appease the uneasy hearts of the hunters and keep the situation in the city stable enough - the three kings thought this was the most urgent task at present. After they made the suggestion, they looked at Durand quietly and waited for his response. Durand thought for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly!

The three kings were anxious and couldn't help asking: "Sir, are you still unwilling to really stand on the surface? But, this...this..."

Durand smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I didn't mean that."

After pausing, a confident smile appeared on Durand's face and said calmly: "The coronation ceremony is indeed very necessary, but it is not the most important thing at the moment..."

Rhodes raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "What else is more important than pacifying the people's hearts and stabilizing the situation?"

Durand pointed to the Three Kings and said lightly: "You."
