My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 246 Iluvia's Great Victory

Iluvia, engrossed in processing her documents, didn't even notice Roland's departure immediately.

She only discovered it when she was resting and wanted Roland to get her a glass of water.

Her Highness was very unhappy about this.

Her mood worsened especially after discovering that a certain slacking-off witch had also run away.

However, before coming to Isfar this time, my father had personally said so!
Once Isfar's matter is resolved, regardless of whether Roland can resolve it successfully, her engagement to Roland will be announced!
Hmph! That's quite a boast!

No matter what, even if she suffers heavy defeats elsewhere, here, her advantage is greater than ever before!

Roland's first wife! No one could possibly take that title from me!
She was certain it was impossible within the Empire! Absolutely no one could marry Roland before her!

Even if someone tried to sneak out, no one would dare to pass!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! ! !
Iluvia let out a silent laugh.

The smile and joy emanating from his lips even infected Remilia, who was already utterly despondent.

For a fleeting moment, the Blood Demon Prince, whose brain had been completely consumed by official documents, actually felt a touch of pleasure.

Could it be... could it be that I'm just naturally inclined to do this kind of work?!
Strange interests and hobbies attempted to form within the mind of the Great Demon.

The Great Demon refused, relying on its overwhelming willpower!

but……

Remilia gave the princess beside her a strange look.

What a wonderful child! How did he develop this hobby?
Tsk... Is this what humans call a sense of responsibility? As the princess of the empire, and according to Flam, she is basically the designated heir.

So, have you started learning and getting used to the work in advance?

Haki, you bastard...

Since that's the case, I can't just stand by and watch!
With this thought in mind, the Blood Demon Prince, brimming with extraordinary wisdom, slammed the large stack of documents he had brought earlier down in front of Iluvia.

"If you like it, then process more! Keep it up!"

Iluvia: “???”

Iluvia tried to explain.

However, the explanation was ineffective.

Those who are truly doing the work cannot tolerate any distractions!

Iluvia: “…”

Looking at the great demon beside her, Iluvia felt it was better to lower her moral standards a bit.

Anyway, according to Ms. Flam, because of the divine power contract, this great demon is currently in a state where he has no choice but to work, otherwise he will be directly annihilated.

That is to say...

Iluvia stood up, stepped back behind the chair, and then carefully and cautiously pushed the chair under the table.

After doing all this, she looked at Remilia beside her.

Ah, very good.

The diligent and hardworking senior demon is tirelessly handling the internal affairs documents of the human empire.

Although it sounds a bit strange... overall there's nothing seriously wrong.

The princess, who occasionally emulated Floram's pettiness, silently left her seat and walked up to Cellina, who was still busy with sorting: "Nina, let's go out and rest for a while."

"Ah...is that okay?"

"Of course you can! This isn't your job, is it?"

“Yeah, go and call Nash back. She went to the next tent to deliver some documents.”

"Okay, let's go for a walk in the streets together."

"What about the rest of the work?" Cellina, who still had a conscience, asked. "Won't it be troublesome if these documents aren't dealt with?"

Iluvia laughed: "Oh dear, all the really important documents have been processed, so it won't affect the post-disaster reconstruction or refugee resettlement!"

"The rest are just procedural documents; it won't be a problem if it takes two or three days!"

"Besides, isn't there still one person left to do the work?"

Cellinina followed Iluvia's finger and looked at the white-haired Great Demon who was working at his desk. After a brief silence, Cellinina looked at Iluvia and said solemnly, "Then let's go quickly, before she realizes what's happening."

The poor Blood Demon Prince is still unaware of what has happened.

But that's not important.

Although she received more work assignments, she also lost the rest time that she didn't even have in the first place.

Those who are capable should do more work.

Iluvia and Cellina believed that their senior would understand them.

As Iluvia and Cellina stepped out of the room, the officers on the other side of the room were stunned.

The advisors watched with envy as Iluvia and Cellina walked out of the room.

I watched them leave their jobs behind.

Just like three hours earlier when they watched their superior, Legion Commander Elson, leave.

After a long sigh, the group resumed their work under the leadership of their adjutant, Truk.

Rest is a privilege reserved for leaders; the beasts of burden don't have it.

At least for now, there's still Jiuhuan Legend working overtime with them.

Although we are of different races... our circumstances are the same.

……

Meanwhile, Iluvia and Celinina, who had just found Nash after delivering the documents and then turned back into cats to sneak into a tent with a fireplace to slack off, were about to leave the legion's camp when they encountered Delan and Amya, who had come looking for them.

"It's nice to meet you again, Your Highness. Is Lord Roland in?"

Looking at Delan in front of her, Iluvia was somewhat surprised: "Delan, it's you again?" "Um... As for Roland, I don't know where he ran off to, but he's probably still wandering around the city. After all, Lia is missing too, so the two of them should be eating at some restaurant right now."

Delan sighed helplessly, "Is that so? Then let's rest here for a while."

"We can also set some things up along the way."

As he spoke, Delan began to call on the large group of people behind him to get moving. Elson, who had also received the news earlier and ordered his men to collect materials, also appeared at this time and called on the legion's soldiers to help set up the site.

Having read the newspaper, Cellina quickly understood what this group was planning to do, but just to be on the safe side, she still asked, "Is this... a ceremony to confer Roland's knighthood here?"

"I thought it would be held in the capital."

"At worst, it's still Rishkan."

Upon hearing the same question, Delan had no choice but to explain the whole story again.

After hearing the explanation, Cellina nodded: "I see... So what are they setting up?"

"Ah, don't you know? Logically speaking, this should be written together with the title conferment."

Delan was somewhat surprised, then took out a slightly crumpled newspaper from his pocket, pointed to the contents, and explained, "Lord Roland is Her Highness the Princess's fiancé, a prince of the Empire!"

"When announcing the engagement, it is also necessary to exchange engagement tokens."

"His Majesty specifically asked me to bring a pair of rings for Her Highness the Princess, so they can exchange them at the ceremony... Lady Cellina, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing." With a fascinating expression on her face, Cellina grabbed the silly cat who was still planning to stay and watch the show and left the scene.

As for Iluvia...

At this moment, she felt like she had really won.

Screw fake sisterhood!

Today I'm the star of the show! Hahahaha!

It would have been even better if the male protagonist could have stayed at the scene...

Tsk, at such an important juncture, he's still out with other women?

Suddenly overcome with immense courage, Iluvia broke through the cowardice that had been lurking in her heart.

Her wise and capable father and his loyal and reliable subordinates have already laid the groundwork for this, so she can't afford to mess things up at this crucial moment!
This is the only aspect she's absolutely certain of winning!

With this thought in mind, she looked at Delan beside her and said, "You two take your time making the arrangements, I'll go and bring Roland back!"

"Yes, Your Highness, do you need any manpower?"

"Heh, of course I have to do this kind of thing all by myself!"

"Huh? Ah... okay."

Although somewhat confused, Delan nodded.

Anyway, these are the private matters of these important people; I'm just someone who keeps my head down and does the work.

After all, there was basically no other reason for sending him this time.

It was simply because Delan and Roland were close friends.

Clearly, the old emperor was still somewhat uncertain about the situation.

He was afraid that adding extra work at the last minute would cause the teenager to go on strike, so he specifically chose an acquaintance to assign the tasks.

If we don't take that into account, it doesn't really matter who's sent here.

After that, Delan watched as Iluvia excitedly ran out of the camp and headed towards the street.

Although she had only served as Iluvia's bodyguard for a few months, Delan could still clearly sense the changes in the princess.

Compared to the princess before the entrance exam, the current Iluvia is clearly more real.

Whether it's smiles, gestures, or words... compared to before, there's less of a performative or pretentious quality, and much more genuine joy.

To be able to get this prince to truly open his heart... Lord Roland is truly amazing.

However, this person's love life seems to be unexpectedly rich.

The blue-haired witch named Kalia, and Cellina who was clearly unhappy just now...

Teresa prayed that Roland's married life would be smooth.

and many more!

In that instant, Delan seemed to understand why Salah III had instructed the newspapers to include that sentence.

Does this mean there might be a change in the succession to the throne?

Yes, this sentence was specifically requested by Salah III to be added. As one of Salah III's few true confidants, it was even Delan who took the initiative to do this.

Is it possible...

Does His Majesty no longer regard Lord Roland merely as a son-in-law?
But, but why?

After all, Lord Roland has no blood relation to the royal family, does he? In the end, he's just an outsider.

Although it seems that at this stage it is just an idea and there is no intention to put it into practice... but the fact that Salah III could come up with this idea is strange enough.

After clearing her mind of unnecessary thoughts, Delan began to focus on setting up the scene.

What he needs to pay attention to right now is the ideas of the Kingdom of Plataea.

Whether it's an either-or choice or a choice between both, it's all uncertain.

After all... he didn't think that the Pratia delegation's visit at this time was to discuss any business cooperation.

Was it a notification before a declaration of war, or a coercive threat?

Delan frowned as he looked at the ceremony that was already mostly set up for the investiture.

Although there are no evil gods or demons this time... things seem to have become even more complicated.
