Chapter 252 - Execution (I) (1/2)
Tina couldn't believe what she just heard.
”Of course, those things are just speculation so unless you really trust your men, I wouldn't bother listening to a rambling of someone you don't know like me. However, even though those are just speculations, those are speculations based on what is happening and what happened the last few days while you are inside the stomach of the Giant Devouring Sandworm.”
Queen Tanya stood up from the bathtub and her servants immediately put a towel on her wet body for her to use to dry herself.
”Still, I don't think I am going to think that everyone betrayed me. No one treated me badly and I think it is impossible for them to do that.”
”...” Queen Tanya looked at Tina with a stern face. However, she didn't say anything and just continue to wipe off the water dripping from her body.
”Let's continue this back on the throne room now that I am done with my bath.”
SNAP!
In a flash, her naked body is covered in bright light before her body immediately got covered with the battlesuit she uses in adventures or expeditions. As expected of Queen Tanya, even for changing clothes, she can just do it in a snap. If only I can do that, I don't need to bother looking at my wardrobe for clothes to wear and just snap my finger to wear something on my body.
We followed Queen Tanya on her way to the throne room. While we are walking in the hallway, Queen Tanya started talking.
”Did you know that the Insect Kingdom would be already obliterated if not for the help of humans, elves, merfolk, and dwarves fend off against the abyssal monsters coming from the deepest of the sea?”
Tina raised her head in surprise when Queen Tanya started talking about the Insect Kingdom's rise to civilization.
”What do you mean?”
”So you don't know about it? Maybe the current generation of the rulers of the Insect Kingdom already have forgotten that incident already but I also think it is kind of weird.”
”Um...is there something that I didn't know?”
”We should continue the conversation in the throne room. That way, we can properly discuss your current situation.”
Queen Tanya was silent after that and even though Tina is trying to inquire more info on Queen Tanya, she didn't respond and just continued to walk towards the throne room.
When we arrived at the throne room, she headed straight to the throne and clap her hands twice. A servant carrying a bowl of grapes appeared from somewhere and handed a few pieces of grapes to her. She then stares at Tina like how she tries to scrutinize someone.
”I have a question for you Tina and I hope you answer this truthfully.”
Tina nodded. ”Yes, I will.”
”Do you trust all of your family in the Insect Kingdom?”
”Huh?” Tina frowned.
”Do you fully trust everyone you have met so far in the Insect Kingdom?”
”Yes! Yes, I do trust them!”
”I see, then let's see how your own men trust you.”
SNAP!
Queen Tanya snapped her fingers again and two people dressed in assassin garb appeared out of nowhere and kneel at the bottom of the throne, in front of Queen Tanya.
”Tell me the results of your investigations.”
”Yes, my queen!” the two people said simultaneously.
One of the two move forward and stood up from kneeling, pulling up a scroll that contains the details of his investigation of some sort.
