Chapter 8 The Queen's Diary

The diary spans a long time, from the Queen's childhood to middle age.

Childhood:

"Playing in the courtyard today, I saw the ghoul servants secretly nibbling at the human corpses again. I remember that the messenger sent by the human race last month was rudely driven away by my father. Is it a bad thing for ghouls to gnaw the corpses of cannibals? I ran to ask my mother, who said, "The human race is a race that only considers its own interests. Instead of being wasted in the coffin, their bodies should be given to ghouls who need to be supported by corpses!' Maybe I'm so young that I don't quite understand what my mother is saying.

"Today, the human race sent another messenger and quarreled with his father in the palace. This time, it was not only about ghouls, but also about the shadow ghosts who broke into the human territory to scare people. The messenger of the human race said, "It's too selfish for you undead to only consider your own interests!" If it goes on like this, we will have to discuss national affairs with you on the battlefield!' Although I don't understand, I know that what the messenger of the human race said is exactly the opposite of what the mother said. I wanted to ask my mother, but the maid's scream came from my mother's bedroom, and I didn't dare to approach.

"Today, the maids are laughing and talking about the fact that my father sent troops to fight against the human race. After I ran to find my mother, I saw two maids taking out some bones from my mother's bedroom. I don't know what it was for. When the mother saw me, she was happy to tell me one thing: 'There is a breakthrough in the spells studied by the mother!' When I asked about the war, she laughed like the maids and said to me, 'After this war is over, the mother will become stronger and stronger!' What does war have to do with spells?

"Today, a knight came back with a war report. I secretly hid behind the pillar to see. The knight said, 'The human race has developed a lot of powerful weapons, and we..." Before he finished speaking, he was cast a spell by his father to make him speechless. The father and the mother quarreled. The mother ate the knight just now and scolded the father who was incompetent. The father scolded the mother for being greedy. Then the father cast spells on the mother and ate the mother like she ate the knight, leaving a lot of bones and red water-like things. The minister and the servant laughed as they watched.

"Today, I went to my mother's bedroom and didn't see my mother. I asked the maid, 'Where did the queen mother go after she was eaten by her father?' The maid said, "The queen has become the power of the king, and the king is getting stronger and stronger." I still don't know where my mother has gone. I just know that I will never see her again.

"Today, the elves sent messengers to discuss the human race. I saw a very beautiful woman with long black hair, and the elves called her queen. The father also thought she was beautiful and wanted to keep her, but she agreed. I ran to where she lived and chatted with her. She said, "Diana, don't be the same patriarch as your father." I asked her, 'Why?' She said, 'Because your father didn't protect the undead.' I asked her, 'Why?' She said: 'It will soon come to fight the undead not only the human race, but also the werewolves and mermaids, as well as many other races. The people of the undead who do not have the ability to protect themselves will be harmed.' I asked her, 'Why?' She touched my head and didn't say anything.

"Today's beautiful woman is going back to the elf clan, and her father is still holding her. I don't know why, the elves with her seemed to be much less, and the messenger looked at his father angrily. When she refused to stay any longer, her father cast a spell on her. I thought she would be eaten too. But she didn't. She smiled at her father and turned around and left with the elves. My father looked very angry.

Girlhood:

"War is not necessary to coexist peacefully with other races."

"Every day, I see the ghoul eating the body. Thinking of my mother's words, I feel that my mother did not consider the feelings of her relatives."

"When the clan has no foreigners to eat, they will eat their own people, which is a way to improve their strength."

"Go to the front line and see all the foreigners united against us, but we are killing each other."

"My father's new wife was eaten by my father again."

"I ate my father, just like he ate his mother. I gained great strength and became the new patriarch."

Youth:

"There are no ghouls in the clan now. I ate them all, for the justice in my heart and the future of the undead I hope. But I was criticized by the clan. They left me behind, and only a few clans were willing to follow me. But I won't give up, because I believe I'm right. I want to protect the undead and become a good patriarch.

"While lobbying more people to believe me and want them to stop what seems cruel to foreigners, I promised foreigners that I would give them an explanation."

"There are more and more people who have joined me. We work together for the undead in our hearts, learn the culture of other races, understand their ideas, and become friends with them."

"The foreign people seemed to see my efforts and stopped attacking the undead. That's really great! I finally stopped my father's mistake and took the undead on the right path.

Middle age:

"My child was born, a cute boy with the same purple eyes as me. He will definitely become a better patriarch than me in the future, so that the undead people can spend every day happily.

"Today's allied elves sent messengers to congratulate her. I saw a girl as delicate as a doll, and the elves called her the second princess. It turned out to be the daughter of a beautiful woman. I kept her and talked to her about the beautiful woman. She said, 'Thank you for remembering her.' Her daughter is very similar to her, with long black hair and talks to me a lot about the future of the two races. She said, 'Diana, you are a good patriarch. But you can't completely copy the pattern of the human race and ignore the characteristics of the undead. I touched her head and said, 'Thank you.'"

"The girl and I often correspond with each other. I ask her about the human race, and she will answer me. But she reminded me more than once: 'Don't copy completely, find your own way.' I can understand what she means, but I can't do it. I yearn for the peace of the human race and try to keep up with them. I want to build a lively city like them and develop a lot of interesting things. But... I can't make the undead like that."

"She's right, I ignored the characteristics of the undead. Over the years, the number of people has decreased sharply, and I have been criticized by the people. They said, "The benevolent heart of the undead is a sharp weapon to destroy themselves." They don't like the undead in my heart, and the undead in my heart can't protect them.
