Those beautiful purple eyes part 2

"You are not trustworthy," I said, further surprising the people present.

The hero was not worthy?

The expressions on their faces became even more unbelievable, and as I had predicted, the saint decided to intervene.

"What nonsense are you talking about, don't you know his accomplishments? If an ignorant person like you is the queen, I fear for the future of this kingdom," she said in a loud and rude tone, which was not appropriate when asking for a favor, especially from her position.

This woman, it seems that her title has given her a lot of pride, or is it because of the hero? Her confidence in front of me was just ridiculous.

"You, servant of the Church, tell me your position and affiliation," I replied in the same tone with which I always speak.

"I am Lucianna Caelis, the saint of the Church of Light of this generation," she replied confidently, as if her status could change my low opinion of her.

"Tell me, Lucianna, how does it feel to have to bury all the direct descendants of the Goddess you follow... oh, no, let me correct myself, you did not attend their funerals?" I added with a sarcastic tone.

In fact, the entire royal family of the Kingdom of Celestia are descendants of the Goddess of Light. This has been proven many times by the fact that we have a great affinity with the element of Light and a characteristic sacred aura.

The fact that the descendants of the Goddess have perished in your generation is nothing but a disgrace to your life, not only to you as a saint, but also to your corrupt Church of Light.

"..." For a moment she was unable to answer, and I took the opportunity.

"Now, why don't you tell me why you address me, a descendant of the Goddess of Light herself, Celestia, in such a bold manner?" I continued in a cold tone.

My mother was a princess, sister of the late Queen, who was a descendant of the goddess. I, as her daughter, was naturally a descendant of the goddess. Therefore, this saint should act like an obedient puppy in front of me, as her duty should be to serve me.

"..." She could not answer, for if she did, she would only succeed in humiliating herself.

"Luna, stop it," a blonde-haired woman interjected.

Anabel Stromcrest.

Surprisingly, she was the only one of the Stromcrest lineage with whom I could not sympathize. Rather, she was the first person I hated in my life.

"Anabel... Well, I'll omit your disrespect. Why should I stop?", I asked.

"F..."

"Queen Luna, I won't argue about my failures, but I would like to know why you say the hero is untrustworthy," as Anabel was about to answer, the saint recovered and said that.

"Lucianna, I, like my ancestor, the goddess Celestia, seek sincerity, true sincerity."

My words made the people present make a strange face. Was I only seeking sincerity? Did I insult the saint only because of insincerity?

Obviously, only the less intelligent thought so. Some, like the princess of the Eldoria Empire, narrowed her eyes, as she knew that the sincerity I was referring to was something... different.

"What kind of sincerity from me, does Queen Luna want?" This time, the one who answered was the hero.

*Snapping

From my right hand came a sound, which was followed by the appearance of the crown shadows, agents raised exclusively to protect the royal family. These individuals swore allegiance to me when Elara died.

"The list," I said without looking at the person who appeared in front of me.

"Here, Your Majesty," the shadow exclaimed.

When he handed me the list, that person disappeared as quickly as he appeared.

Showing the list in front of everyone present, I uttered words that would easily set this country on fire.

"Here, on this list are all the noblewomen of my kingdom who are in a state of gestation and whose presumed father is the hero."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silence filled the room again, but this time it was not of bewilderment, but of discomfort, especially for those noble men of my kingdom who looked at the list anxiously.

"What nonsense is this, Luna, are you trying to humiliate the hero?", Anabel didn't wait for me to mention the purpose of the list and burst out.

"No, you're wrong. I really want the hero's sincerity, since he was kind enough to inseminate these women with his amazing seed," I said in an innocent tone.

"Besides, I'm sure he must have their husbands' permission, because if he didn't get it, that would be considered adultery... something the goddess Celestia doesn't like very much, isn't that right, Lucianna?"

I didn't care about Anabel's outrage and instead asked the saint directly, who averted her gaze.

(I'd be surprised if she didn't know).

"Luna, what are you getting at?" This time, a new person joined this "negotiation," a woman with orange hair and light green eyes.

It was no one more and no one less than Valeria Steele, and surprisingly she seemed to be close to the saint.

"Valeria Steele, I'm just saying that the goddess Celestia dislikes adulterers like you," I said bluntly.

"YOU...," she said in a very deep voice.

I must admit that the hero was wise to keep quiet when all my words were meant to attack him. Or was it because of the princess of Eldoria holding his hand? Either way, he said nothing.

*sigh

"Luna, you know Kylo Stromcrest was crazy, right? Adam just saved me from him," she uttered with a slightly sad face, as if it was a very traumatic experience for her.

Seeing that expression on her face, many people began to sympathize with her, even some nobles in my kingdom.

I'm not defending Kylo's actions, and in fact I found them disgusting, but everything she did could have been avoided with a simple request, one that she didn't make. why? Well.

"Why don't you tell us how you managed to manipulate Kylo into giving you his fortune?"

Those words unleashed a torrent of whispers among the nobles.

"You, you, what are you saying!" she shouted.

"Valeria Steele, you seem to forget that I was also present at most of the events you complain so much about," I said pointedly, silencing her.

"Not only did you not formally complain, but you also invited Kylo to many of your adventures with the hero, while secretly maintaining adulterous relations with the hero," I continued.

"Even when you had a close relationship with Elara, who could easily help you get rid of that engagement and even warn Kylo not to do anything wrong, you did nothing," I finished, neutralizing any argument she could come up with.

She said nothing, simply sobbing into the arms of the saint she wanted to protect, avoiding any eye contact with me.

"Luna, please, let's not talk about my family's shame anymore," Anabel said with a pleading tone.

The shame of your family...

"I'm even more ashamed of you, that instead of saving your dying sister, you gave the cure to the hero just so he could win a stupid tournament," I said this time with a very contemptuous tone.

Yes, she gave the cure for the disease that Sherry Stromcrest, her younger sister, was suffering from to the hero. And worst of all, she thought that elixir could be found relatively easily. By the time he realized that the cure could only be formed under almost miraculous circumstances, it was too late.

Sherry died the day the hero won that tournament, and only three days later she learned that her sister had passed away.

What upset me greatly, to the point of hating her, was that the shame of her family, Kylo, researched and found the elixir for his little sister. Something she will never mention, as she would look like an idiot in front of everyone.

She chose her crush over her own family. I mean, I could understand if Sherry hadn't been a good girl, but she was beautiful as a person and dreamed of being a knight like her older sister.

How ironic that it was her older sister who destroyed her last hope.

"You...you know," she said with surprise.

"I know everything, especially I know who found that elixir," I said with a deep tone.

None of the people accompanying the hero said anything else, as they feared I would reveal their sins. And certainly, I knew many shameful things, so shameful that if they came to light, people might change their opinion of them.

"We are leaving," said the hero in an angry tone, for he did not achieve his task and instead his mistresses were humiliated.

They all retreated, except for one....

Sarina Eldoria.

"You know that if we win the war, the hero will become the next emperor of Eldoria", she told me with conviction.

(A blind confidence...)

"So?" She seems to think that will scare me.

"He will not forget this humiliation, and when he gets the support of the people, you will pay for it," she said with certainty before turning and walking away.

I said nothing, nor did I do anything.

--

When I told my daughter about this meeting, she became completely hysterical, saying that I should apologize and that this was a big mistake.

(These golden generation kids have great confidence in that hero, even my daughter supports her father's murderer...).

I found this very curious, and when I asked her why she thought so highly of the hero, she responded by saying that she knew all of his accomplishments. She even began to speak ill of many of the people who perished at his hands, including her father.

I couldn't help but educate her, especially about her father, whom I knew very well.

Her arguments were completely crushed with logic, and unable to respond, she left in tears. Not before telling me to change my mind and pleading with me to help the hero before it was too late for me.

Oddly enough, when it became public that I would not support the hero in his campaign against those creatures, many people stopped supporting me, especially those from the golden generation, where all but a few who had duties in my kingdom dropped out.

(It is very strange...)

The golden generation had a very sick fanaticism towards that hero, and many geniuses followed his words with complete conviction, something that made the nobles of my kingdom raise their eyebrows.

Certainly, with the support of those young men of the golden generation, the hero could conquer any country when he was crowned emperor.

But I knew the hero would fail, after all, I did not stand still when those things appeared and even personally investigated some of those creatures.

And as I expected, 6 months later, the news broke that the Eldoria empire fell, and along with it, the hero.
