For the next two days, Natalie and her father maintained apparent peace. But as long as yanush brings the topic to marriage, Natalie will be silent. But yanushi will not change his mind. Although he knows that his daughter is not willing, he still nags every day. He doesn''t have the style of a politician at all.


    In this case, on the third morning, when yanush mentioned the topic again, Natalie put down the spoon she was using.


    "I want to go out," Natalie said.


    With that, Natalie stood up and pushed away her chair without her father''s consent.


    "Where are you going?" yanush asked.


    "I want to visit queen ludwiga," Natalie said.


    When he was a daughter, he wanted to visit the queen, which surprised yanush. Soon he was a little happy again. After all, it would be a good thing for him and his family if his daughter could become friends with the queen.


    "I''ll ask mitzkevich to take you."


    "No, mitzkevich''s injury hasn''t completely recovered. I''ll just go alone." Natalie refused her father''s suggestion.


    "Well, the queen likes brooches and other accessories recently. Did you choose one to bring to her?" yanush suggested again.


    Natalie nodded at the suggestion.


    Natalie took a horse from the stable. Yanushi they are now living in a villa rented locally, with two and a half floors high and white bricks and red tiles. There is a large yard in front of the villa, and the stables are on the left side of the villa, where there are three horses. Natalie untied her usual horse, rolled over on the horse''s back, and then rushed out of the yard.


    "Still forgot to bring the gift." yanushi looked at his daughter''s back and shook his head helplessly. He also held a gift box in his hand.


    When Natalie arrived at the temporary palace where King kazimiz and queen ludwiga were located, more than a dozen carriages had parked in front of the palace. Preparations for the king''s return are in full swing.


    Natalie dismounted at the door. A servant of the palace came quickly and led the horse to the stable. After what happened that night, no one in the palace didn''t know Natalie.


    Everyone admired Natalie. Because she not only brought back valuable news, but also participated in the battle to defend the holy land. She is a real hero.


    Natalie went upstairs all the way.


    "Where is your Highness the queen?"


    Natalie asked a passing Mammy.


    "Her royal highness is in the second room on the left. She is waiting for you," said the Mammy.


    Natalie thanked. She walked softly to the door of the room.


    "Your Highness, I''m Natalie."


    "The door isn''t closed. Come in."


    Natalie Yiyan walked into the room.


    Today''s Queen ludwiga has no image of being smart and capable that night. She lay obliquely in a corner of the sofa, and the winter sun hit the Queen''s beautiful melon seed face. Soft blond hair fell gently from her shoulders and fell on the sofa. The casual and natural posture brought a lazy warmth to the room.


    Natalie''s vision extends around. This is a very spacious bedroom. There are pale gold copper lamps on the beautiful ceiling. On the opposite floor are Persian carpets made of fine textiles and some special furniture in the bedroom. The only tall thing is the big wardrobe that occupies a whole wall. From the volume, there should be many clothes in it. But it should be empty by now.


    "Natalie, here you are." the queen ludwiga, leaning lazily on the sofa, gently put down her coffee cup, like a noble Persian cat.


    Years did not leave too many marks on the Queen''s face. Although she was over forty, the queen looked only thirty at most.


    "Yes, your highness."


    Natalie smiled and sat down on the sofa. She liked talking to Queen ludwiga because the queen of the Republic had no airs for anyone.


    "Your Highness, when I came, I saw many carriages parked at the gate of the palace. Are we going to Lvov?" Natalie asked.


    Queen ludwiga took the feather fan on the table and covered her mouth. But Natalie guessed from the changes in the Queen''s facial muscles that the queen was laughing.


    "No, your majesty. Although he is in a hurry to return home, he still has a lot to prepare, one by one," said queen ludwiga.


    "That''s true," said Natalie.


    "Oh, by the way. Natalie, you had something important to see me yesterday. What was it?" asked queen ludwiga.


    Natalie''s teeth clenched her lips and her hands rubbed her trousers. It can be seen that Natalie''s heart is very nervous.


    "Don''t be so formal, there''s no need to be nervous. You forget, you can call me sister Ludvika." the queen smiled and pushed a cup of coffee with sugar in front of Natalie.


    Natalie picked it up and took a sip. The aroma and sweetness of coffee relieved Natalie''s nervous mood.


    "I''d like to ask your highness, no, it''s your sister. You speak to your majesty and let me go to Lithuania to contact commander sapega," Natalie said.


    With that, Natalie lowered her head.


    "It''s this thing!"


    King ludwiga thought a little later. She remembered that this was Natalie''s suggestion that night.


    "Well," Natalie nodded.


    "But just yesterday your father spoke to his majesty and sent messengers to Werner," said queen ludwiga regretfully.


    "What!"


    Natalie stood up in surprise. She was so strong that she almost knocked the coffee cup off the table.


    "Didn''t lord yanush tell you?"


    "No?" Natalie was a little depressed. She didn''t expect her father to come up with such a drastic scheme in order not to let her go to Lithuania.


    "Is there anything else you want to do to go to Lithuania? Natalie, you can talk to your sister. Maybe I can help."


    Queen ludwiga is a clever woman. She saw that Natalie wanted to go to Lithuania.


    Queen ludwiga stroked Natalie''s hand. That intimate action and gentle language convinced Natalie that queen ludwiga was an object to talk to.


    So Natalie told the queen about Chechen.


    "All you like him?"


    After listening to Natalie''s talk, Queen ludwiga asked with a smile.


    "He''s just my friend," Natalie said hard.


    "What is his feeling for you?"


    "I don''t know!" Natalie was a little depressed.


    Queen ludwiga stood up. She took the paper and pen and wrote.


    After writing, the queen handed the paper to Natalie.


    "Here you are," said queen ludwiga.


    "Is this?" Natalie took the paper.


    "Congratulations, Natalie kishka. You are my messenger now. You will go to Lithuania on behalf of me to see the officers and soldiers who are fighting there." Queen Ludvika smiled.


    Natalie was ecstatic. With this letter, she can go to Lithuania in good faith, and even being a father can''t stop herself.


    "Thank you so much, sister ludwiga," Natalie said cheerfully.


    "It''s just a small effort. But Natalie, if you really like the child named Chechen, you should take advantage of this opportunity and don''t let happiness slip away from you." Queen ludwiga said with a smile.
