Chapter 1419: Chapter 1419: The Secret of Windsor
"Mr. Su, thank you for helping me persuade Blair."
Su Chengyu shook his head: "I’m just being realistic, forgive my presumption, but in my view, Her Majesty The Queen is indeed not yet capable of supporting the entire Bei Luo Empire."
Irina remained silent. She wanted to avoid her coming-of-age ceremony, claiming verbally that she was unwilling, but deep down she clearly understood that she currently couldn’t replace Blair in ruling over the entire Bei Luo Empire.
"Evading is meaningless, Your Majesty. Sooner or later, Bei Luo will inevitably fall into your hands."
Su Chengyu’s direct words made Irina tense, she spoke somewhat fearfully: "It’s not that I don’t want to do it, I’m just worried that I won’t do well enough."
"Everyone makes mistakes, what’s most important is recognizing and correcting them. Even His Royal Highness the Regent, after more than a decade of diligent service, didn’t prevent the Nether Clan from launching a surprise attack on the Thousand Tents Palace, did he?"
Irina, upon hearing this, seemed somewhat unconvinced and immediately said: "Blair did his best, I know it’s trouble left behind by my mother."
Su Chengyu blinked and inquired: "Did the previous Queen have some collusion with the Nether Clan?"
Irina was startled, realizing her slip of the tongue, she selectively avoided the question, and seeing this, Su Chengyu did not delve deeper but continued walking with Irina towards the lower levels.
As they walked along the passage leading to the basement, Irina suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Su, why do you go to such lengths to help us?"
"Would you believe me if I said it’s because of a sense of justice?"
Su Chengyu retorted.
Irina turned her head to look at Su Chengyu, pondered for a while, and then shook her head: "Sir Xu Zijing helped Bei Luo back then with his own motives, I believe Mr. Su is not petty, but to go to such lengths to help me, there must be your own reasons."
Su Chengyu’s lips curled slightly: "It’s good that you can think this way, this is how a Queen should be, rather than the previous behavior of indulging in your little tempers."
Hearing this, Irina lowered her head in a moment of deflation, saying: "I can’t speak like Mr. Su, the only way I could persuade Blair was in that manner."
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, as long as the direction is right, you will eventually reach your destination. Not to mention you still have so many supporters, they will buy you enough time."
Su Chengyu’s words eased much of Irina’s anxiousness, and she slowly raised her head to continue asking: "So why exactly does Mr. Su want to help Bei Luo?"
Seeing that she wasn’t dissuaded by his previous responses, and knowing he couldn’t avoid it, Su Chengyu softly said: "Bei Luo cannot fall into the hands of the Nether Clan, this is very important to everyone in Xia Country. As for my personal motive, a Red Robed High Priest of the Nether Clan died by my hand."
Upon hearing this, Irina gasped in shock, disbelievingly saying: "Mr. Su, you have the means to kill a Land Immortal?"
Su Chengyu shook his head: "It wasn’t by my hand directly, but indeed because of me, and this news will probably spread among the Nether Clan soon. Given the temperament of the Nether Clan, they certainly won’t let me go. To strike first is my only choice."
The appearance of Cui Manlou completely aligned Su Chengyu against the Nether Clan. He understood all this was orchestrated by Cui Manlou, but these blatant schemes, Su Chengyu could not resolve or mediate.
The Red Robed High Priest Jin Yi died in Capital City, died in his, Su Chengyu’s, residence which is an undeniable fact, and the conflict between the Nether Clan and Human Clan once appeared is absolutely irreversible.
However, Irina, after pondering this statement for a moment, shook her head and said: "Even so, I still feel Mr. Su is overly concerned with Bei Luo."
Su Chengyu chuckled slightly, looking at Irina said: "If there is nothing else, perhaps it really is just from a sense of inner justice."
Irina, hearing this, couldn’t help but laugh, Su Chengyu puzzled asked: "Is there a problem?"
Irina looked at Su Chengyu teasingly: "I knew Mr. Su and Xu Zijing are the same kind of person."
The same kind of person?
Su Chengyu was startled and an image of Xu Zijing flashed in his mind. He shook his head.
Even though there were similarities, Su Chengyu believed he was different from Xu Zijing and destined to be vastly different.
The deepest part of the underground level was an unattended deep alley, surrounded by torches made of special material, each torch containing specially made Nether Stone to maintain long-lasting illumination.
At the end of the alley was a small black room with an iron door tightly shut, secured with three robust locks each embedded with special prohibitions. Even if Su Chengyu wanted to forcefully break through, it would likely take a significant amount of time.
"Prohibition set by the Land Immortal."
Su Chengyu looked at the prohibition at the door and immediately spoke.
Irina nodded and said, "This solitary confinement room was established by the Windsor Family after they became part of the Bei Luo Royal Family, specifically to detain family members who made mistakes."
"Even the sovereign is not an exception?"
Su Chengyu asked in surprise.
Irina thought for a moment and said, "In fact, historically, only the sovereigns have been confined in the solitary confinement room. No other person, even direct descendants of the Windsor Family, have the qualification to be placed in solitary confinement."
"So this solitary confinement room is basically a reflection room for the sovereign."
Irina nodded; she had also been confined there by Blair during her childhood, so she was fairly aware of the origins of the confinement room.
"Have you been inside?"
Irina nodded, "Twice, once when I was a child for being disobedient, Blair confined me, and the other was about a decade ago..."
Su Chengyu puzzledly asked, "The coup involving Xu Zijing?"
Irina nodded, "My mother ultimately died in the solitary confinement room. I was there alone for her final moments."
Su Chengyu was somewhat shocked. How old was Irina at that time, yet she had to send off her mother all by herself?
Noticing the confusion in Su Chengyu’s eyes, Irina explained, "My mother entered the solitary confinement room by herself, and it was her last wish to see me one last time."
"Is it to hand over that key to you?"
Su Chengyu asked doubtfully.
Irina nodded, pulling out a necklace, "My mother said that this is the biggest secret of our Windsor Family and the main reason why we have been able to hold onto power in the Bei Luo Empire."
Su Chengyu looked at the necklace emitting an unusual aura and finally asked, "So, what does this Holy Artifact really do, can you tell me now, Your Majesty?"
Irina’s body trembled violently upon hearing this, and she looked at Su Chengyu in shock, "When did you realize I knew everything?"
Su Chengyu softly said, "The only person who has ever treated you like a mere innocent child was His Royal Highness Blair. I have never had such thoughts. After all, you are a queen."
