What else can I do?

As a princess, the only means she can use to increase support are political achievements and military merits. Without powerful stars and private troops, she is not expected by her retainers. She actually has only one choice.

But if such achievements cannot win much support, what must she do to establish advantages that are sufficient to cover up her disadvantages when other competitors grow up to be able to succeed the queen?

Zixinger from Zoya, Mijie Xibi from Xudora, and her two younger sisters.

They are all powerful Protoss hermits, different from her. Most of the things that she needs to deal with for a long time can be solved by them personally. The small amount of military power that she can only get through lobbying under appropriate circumstances can be taken over by them at any time.

In the end, it seemed like she got nothing.

"It's not a good thing to have a sad face in broad daylight."

Alcaide's voice came from behind.

"Is that thing taken care of?"

Ilitia did not look back, her eyes fell on the window - a corner of the Moon Tower belonging to Zoya and the Sun Tower belonging to Xudora could be seen from this place.

"I found a good person according to the route you gave me. He said it would take about three days to decipher it. I handed the things and money to him, and all that's left is to wait."

"Well, you did a good job. Mi Jiexi takes that thing more seriously than it looks. I guess it might be the unique knowledge of the Xudora family or the experimental records of their research. If we decipher it, we will most likely know some of Xudora's secrets."

Alcaide agreed with her judgment and asked for a reward.

"You need a reward for this, too?"

"Of course, whether it's saving people or running errands, I'm doing it for you. Since I've completed the required tasks, you should give me some reward, right? You can't just deny me because I did something that made you unhappy? What kind of complainer is willing to work for nothing?"

The unconscious righteousness hurt Ilitia's heart. At this moment, the biggest accusation was directed at herself.

When merits are not rewarded accordingly, who can say that this person's choice to be hostile to you in the future has nothing to do with today?

"Hey! Wake up! Did you just think of something out of the blue? If you don't know anything about my affairs, just ask me directly. I'm not well educated anyway, so I basically just say what I want to say. Sometimes thinking too much will only cause trouble for yourself."

Alcade felt that he spoke normally most of the time, but Illitia seemed to have too good an imagination. Her face would always turn blue and red after she was lost in thought, as if she had imagined something terrible.

As a boss, Ilitia is the best one he has ever met, with good benefits and easy work.

As a dating partner, Alcade felt that there was nothing wrong with the other party except that he was a little obsessed with the position of queen.

In general, Ilitia was someone who was worth his time to remember her full name, and someone who was worth trying to have a long-term relationship with. So he gave her some psychological support by following a guideline from a psychology book: "You should always communicate with people who are very suspicious to relieve their suspicion of you."

"…You are right, Arcaid. A mission accomplished deserves to be rewarded, not denied basic respect just because she is unsatisfactory in some way that has nothing to do with the mission."

Oh, did I just say that?

Alcaide's small eyes were filled with great doubts.

"It's time for me to make up my mind. No matter how unwilling I am, I can't get what I can't get in the Imperial Hall. Will you stand by me no matter what choice I make?"

The heterochromatic eyes and the crimson eyes looked at each other, both filled with pleading.

【355】The discovery of the evil omen

Let's review the contract between Arcaid and Illitia.

Ilitia needs to give everything she can - which Arcaid understands as her promise to provide the maximum benefits - until Ilitia becomes queen and helps him find the bluestone (wood shadow stone).

In contrast, Alcaide needs to complete all the other party's requirements (work content) without violating his two principles.

So, did her words violate the principles that Alcaide had originally stated?

Principle one, Alcaide will not kill.

Principle two: Alcaide will not help her wage an unjust war.

The conclusion is obvious.

After just a few seconds of thinking, Alkaide expressed his loyalty very firmly.

"Before you betray me (referring to not looking for Mu Yingshi and only increasing work and cutting benefits), I will stand by your side even if I die."

"…I thought you would just say yes or no."

"An answer from someone who gives an answer without considering the whole situation is not trustworthy."

"makes sense."

The haze in her eyes dissipated, and Ilitia smiled like a flower.

"Let's go, my knight. You will be assigned high-intensity protection duties from now on. I will not stop socializing until 12 o'clock at night."

"Isn't twelve o'clock too late? At your age, you should be in bed at nine o'clock. Hey, Miss Tia?!"

"Tia——"

She was facing Alcaide, with an incomprehensible look in her eyes.

"Call me Tia."

"Tia, I said, twelve o'clock..."

"Call again."

"...Tia."

"again."

"Tia."

The First Princess laughed like a silver bell and moved lightly as if she was dancing. Alcade, who didn't understand what was happening to her, could only follow her.

……

Two days later.

Alcaide was awakened from his nap by the communicator in his arms.

Just as the man in only a pair of shorts was scratching his butt and about to answer the phone, the door was suddenly opened.

"Arcade, let's decide...ah————"

Alcade, whose head was buzzing from the astonishingly loud scream, scratched his ears, walked up calmly, pushed Alice Lijie, who challenged him to a duel every day, out of the door, and closed it.

"Lock the door next time."

Mumbling quietly, he answered the call.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Ahhhh-"

In the communicator, the terrible screams once again attacked Alcaide's eardrums.

Completely sober, he is now seriously considering whether to kill the guy on the other end of the phone.

“You, you, you, you, you…what on earth did you make me decipher?! No, I have to escape, escape from Central Province. No, escape to a foreign country!”

The key words reminded Alcaide of the other party's identity.

Isn't this the person I entrusted the necklace to and asked to decipher it?

Because Ilitia was not treated as she wished and did not want the Lu family to get all the benefits from her, after discovering that there was something in the necklace she got from Mi Jie Xibi that needed to be deciphered, she asked Alcade to find a relatively well-known civilian decipher himself.

The result now seems to have been a bit unexpected.

"Don't talk about that nonsense. What about the thing I asked you to decipher?"

"Listen, I have already deciphered the contents of the memory card in the necklace. I will email it to you right away. Don't bother me. I have to escape immediately!"

"Hey!"

There was no further response, and the other party hung up the phone immediately as if he was in a hurry to be reborn.

A few seconds later, the email notification sounded.

Alcaide began to look through the contents.

【Evil Star Mutation】

[By injecting diluted Great Star Disaster Extract into the Protoss, the sublimation of life level is completed. 】

[So far, there is only one person on the Empire side who possesses complete technology. ]

[The list of participants in this research project decided by the eight apostles is as follows:]

[Bisovoz...]

The above keywords are what Alkaide thinks are slightly more important.

An experimental project called Evil Star Mutation, which aims to strengthen the Protoss through something that sounds related to the Protoss.

Then, the Hudola family seemed to be secretly colluding with the Empire. The so-called Eight Apostles were the highest representatives of power in the Imperial Parliament. Although the ruler of the Empire was the Emperor of Heaven on the surface, the country seemed to be closer to a constitutional monarchy.

If this thing is given to Ilitia, perhaps she will be able to find an opportunity to eliminate an opponent directly.

To be precise, it was to directly eliminate the Xudola family.

However, if this happens, Lu and Zoya will probably have a complete fight, and the criticisms that Illitia will face will probably be stronger than now.

By the way, it's a pity that Mi Jiexi dared to carry such a thing with her. If this were to be exposed, I don't know how much of a blow it would cause to Xudora.

Hmm? Wait, didn't Ilitia say before that someone from the Hudola family would come to visit today?

The door was suddenly opened, and Alice Lijie, who looked a little silly, was still standing there in a daze.

"Did anyone from Xudora come to visit?"

"Huh? Yeah, I just got there."

Alice Rie was brought back to her senses by his voice and answered him subconsciously.

"Where? The living room?"

"Well, my sister is there with them."

There was no time to think. Alcade put on his clothes and pants in just ten seconds, and rushed out the door in slippers. His swift and decisive actions left Alice stunned.

"Haha, little Ilitia's experience sounds really interesting. I wonder if I can have the honor of chatting with your young and promising subordinate."

A middle-aged man with short hair, deep facial features, and a white suit sat down face to face with Ilitia.

"Sir Talisman, you are joking. My subordinates have not studied etiquette well enough. I am afraid it would be impolite to meet you rashly."

"We are just getting to know each other for non-social purposes, so there is no need to worry so much about etiquette."

"I'm afraid..."

Illitia, who was a little possessive, was about to refuse Xudora's offer to be the master, but she saw Alcade rushing towards her in a hurry.

White vest, beach pants, flip flops.

The etiquette that a royal family personal attendant should have was completely broken.

But it doesn't matter. Talisman's visit today was not a serious political meeting from the beginning. For Illitia, as long as Alcaide doesn't try to attack Talisman in person to erase his physical memory, she can solve the problem.

what happened?

She looked at the other person inquiringly.

Arcaid handed her the communicator and motioned for her to look at it.

Full of doubts, Ilitia looked at the communicator in her hand.

The next moment, she subconsciously clenched her hands and looked at Talisman.

The owner of Xudora just smiled, like a popular star in the theater.

【356】Traveler

If a person with healthy values ​​encounters a time traveler, what would he do?

For Yang Weiwu, he felt challenged.

This happened when the first version of his Four Evil Towers' free-launching technique was basically completed, and a handsome guy of Chinese and Western descent broke through the space and came to the outside of the Tower of Violence.

He is an ordinary person, with a look that does not combine both Eastern and Western beauty, but he has an unexpected temperament that makes people want to pay attention to him.

【System owner.】

The Darkness of Xuanyin is introduced like this.

According to it, the so-called system actually has similar properties to the Half-Day Fruit, and a system with a high degree of completion will not be inferior to it, which is already close to the Half-Day Fruit of enlightenment. And the so-called system often has extremely strong capabilities in a certain aspect.
