Chapter 214 Whispering Woman
Whispering Woman was a hunchbacked woman wearing a ragged linen robe. She seemed to walk with difficulty and was leaning on a cane that looked like an enlarged human leg bone.
There are many decorations hanging on it, including spice bags, skulls, bells, leather packages, etc.
Being able to carry such a heavy cane and walk around does not fit her image of a frail old woman. At least an ordinary adult male would have a hard time carrying a cane.
Although there was no special smell on her body, Raniya could not help but sniffle the moment she saw the figure of Whispering Woman. She knew that her action was not very polite, but this was the first time she had seen such a "disheveled" audience.
Long before this, whether people wanted to meet the queen or the princess, they had to go through a long training in aristocratic etiquette.
Don't care too much about those things, you have no choice, Rania said to herself.
Otherwise, she would not have actively sought help from the Whispering Witch after knowing that she was an evil witch.
"Your Majesty the Queen," Whispering Po spoke with a strong southern accent. It might be because she was older, she didn't have many teeth and swallowed her words heavily when she spoke.
Raniya's eyes subconsciously fell on her large, hooked nose with loose skin. The mole on the bridge of her nose was very eye-catching.
"What should I call you, Whispering Woman?" Raniya asked.
"I lost my name when I gained this power. Whispering Po is me, haha." Whispering Po nodded and let out a cute giggle similar to that of a little girl, which was creepy.
Raniya took a deep breath: "I heard that you have a special ability, the ability to listen."
"Listen to the whispers, great queen!" said the Whispering Woman. "I can hear all the whispers, and sometimes I can even hear the future, although the sound is always vague."
Raniya reached out and stroked her silver hair.
Her hair was tied up high, a hairstyle that symbolized elegance in Goliath's golden palace. It took a group of maids more than an hour to braid her hair every day.
There's nothing worse than using your hair to express nobility.
She was reflecting on whether her action of inviting Whispering Po to come was correct. Raniya was better at communicating with rational people. She stroked her delicate and noble cheek with her fingers. Her innate noble blood made her very beautiful, and the nobility and domineering aura born as a queen was unique in the whole country.
The slightly raised curve of her chin conveys the oppressive feeling of her superiority.
The whispering woman stopped laughing and lowered her head.
As a witch, the Whispering Woman might have some abilities, but when she faced the queen of the kingdom, her pretentious madness seemed ridiculous under such pressure.
Momentum is what those in power are best at using.
Although it was Raniya who asked for help this time, she was not prepared to bow down. The king had his own way of asking for help, just like now.
"Whispering Po, if your ears are really sharp, you must have heard a lot of stories. The kingdom has encountered some minor troubles, just like a sick warhorse. We need a doctor."
Raniya also had a headache. The struggle for power was even greater than the disaster, and the end of the world could not extinguish the remaining people's desire for power.
But she behaved well, keeping her elegance in her expression: "I need you to listen to the future and find a way to heal your injuries."
"This is very troublesome," said the Whispering Po, but she immediately added quickly: "I will prepare it for you immediately after I return. I will definitely prepare it for you as soon as possible."
"No, you are right here" Raniya smiled, "I can't wait to know what you heard."
The whispering woman swallowed her saliva.
The door behind her opened, and two great knights in gorgeous suits and heavy armor walked in. They exuded warmth like the rising sun, which made Whispering Po feel very uncomfortable.
"But I still need..."
"You will have everything you need, no matter what you lack," Rania said.
Ni Nanpo didn't dare to refuse at all, just like when she learned that the queen was looking for her, she never thought of refusing, because refusal was never an option for the weak.
"Yes." It was obvious that Ni Nanpo could no longer laugh.
The method of divination and obedience was complicated, but Rania Hedwin was watching intently, and she was protected by various powers.
The broken magic ring cursed the nobles. As a king, she didn't even dare to touch that power. But ordinary soldiers didn't have this trouble. However, their talents were limited, and taking potions was a very dangerous thing. Most of the great knights didn't dare to drink deeper potions before they were completely sure of it.
Rania sat in front of the table. After being forced to leave Goliath and come to the Baiya territory, the new "great lord" knew that she liked wooden tables very much, and sent one to her immediately. It was made of oak, very similar to her dressing table, but this table was also decorated with ivory, gold powder and gems.
The color of gold accounts for a large proportion, and the Kingdom of Rand respects gold.
Raniya tapped the table lightly with her fingers. The sound of her fingertips hitting the table was very clear in the specially cleaned-up "prophecy room".
The soldiers' breathing was muffled by their helmets, so they probably couldn't hear the sound.
Only the Whispering Lady seemed to be stimulated. She circled and spun, with light flashing in her eyes and muttering fragmentary words.
Her cooperation is needed to predict the future related to Rania, so although her sitting here is full of oppression, she is an absolutely indispensable figure.
"Dragon," whispered the first word.
very good!
The dragon is the family emblem of the Hedwin family. If the Whispering Woman did not make it up, the direction is correct.
"gold"
The second word is very directional.
Gold is not only the most beloved thing of the Rand Kingdom, but also the impression of the surrounding countries on the Rand Kingdom, and is related to the revival of the Rand Kingdom.
"Sun... Black Flame"
Raniya stopped tapping her fingers for a moment. She began to be unable to understand, and her brows furrowed unconsciously. The sound of her fingers tapping on the table had stopped.
What is the sun? The Sun's testimony? The Church of the Sun?
What about Black Flame?
"Rage, killing," the whispering woman spoke faster, "anger, destruction, death..."
The face with loose skin suddenly raised its head and looked at Rania: "I heard your voice and a deep man's voice, which was intercepted from the future."
Raniya's frown slowly relaxed.
The crazy voice of the Whispering Woman made her a little irritated. No one could keep a queen in suspense.
"What did you hear?"
"I have always hoped that it was you who died, Ranya," the Whispering Woman called the queen by her name.
Clang!
The sword is unsheathed.
The great knights surrounded her and could have killed the Whispering Woman just for her disrespectful words.
"Stop!" Rania stopped the knights. "This is just a prophecy. Don't take it too seriously. But Whispering Woman, is everything you said true?"
She stared at the figure of the old witch and suppressed her with the aura that only belonged to a king.
The whispering woman bent down and said, "I swear, Your Majesty, every word I say is true!"
"She is telling the truth, every word." A voice came from beside Raniya, and the whispering woman, who had been keeping her head down, felt a tightness in her heart.
The maid standing quietly beside Rania was obviously also a witch, and she seemed to have the ability to identify the authenticity.
"You can leave now. I will reward you with everything you need." Raniya waved her hand.
This prophecy made Rania feel heavy-hearted, as it meant that the person in front of her was not her final enemy, but someone who knew her and could even call her by her name, and wanted to kill her.
Only the nobles can do this. Even those who clamor to take her head have to call her queen, because many times those enemies are more willing to bestow all the honor on her, so that when they cut off her head, they will gain more glory.
Do we really want to form an alliance with Lord Baia in marriage?
This was definitely the worst choice. The queen's face looked grim, but then she smiled at the thought that came to her in a panic.
Then take the initiative to fight, she has never been afraid!
