Princess' personal painter

"Well, I understand." Irene nodded, then suddenly remembered something, turned around and picked up the hot tea on the desk, put it on Sisyana's mouth, blinked, "If you don't drink it again , the tea is going to be cold, my lord, please let me feed you..."

"Xia" for a while and "sister" for a while, now Irene is very familiar with changing her identity.Sisyana was taken aback for a moment, then she felt a strong sweetness in her heart, she closed her eyes slightly, and carefully sipped the fragrant tea under Irene's service.

In this way, the two of them got along sweetly, and before they knew it, it was dusk.

Noticing that it was getting late, Sisyana reminded Irene who was wearing a maid outfit: "There will be a dinner later, you can't see people in your current clothes... Eunika should prepare a suitable one for you clothes, you go to her first, we'll see you at the dinner later."

"Dinner?" Erin asked puzzled.

"Her Royal Highness, who has the blood of Olysses, has joined our camp. No matter how poor I am as the master, I must give a welcome." Sisyana said with a light smile, "The leader of the Northern Legion Your Excellency Bradley, Earl Bull, and the two nearby old dukes rushed here when they heard the news, and they will all appear at the dinner later, so you should also dress up properly."

Irene was stunned for a long time, and then said with a bitter face: "My lord, you clearly know that I am the worst at dealing with such situations."

"It's just to help me, can you?" Sisyana held Irene's hand, and when she saw that he nodded obediently, she said softly, "Also, Irene, have you forgotten something? "

"Eh...what?"

"The guest who came back with you, Miss Elf, did you just leave her alone?" Noticing Irene's blank expression, Sisyana sighed softly, "Although I don't want you and The other girls became close, but I couldn't bear to see that elf lady get hurt... No matter what your plan is, at least take her feelings into consideration. Since you are a guest from the elves, I will wait for you later She will also appear with you at the dinner party. I have already ordered you to lead her to Eunika's side."

Eileen came to her senses, bit her lips in a complicated mood, and said in a low voice after a long time: "Xia, you are really gentle... Thank you..."

"Excessive jealousy can make people ugly. Don't worry, I won't become that kind of person." Sisyana let go of Irene's hand and pushed her to the door. I haven't finished dealing with the things around me, so hurry up, that Elf lady must have been sad in the room for a long time."

Eileen glanced at her lover with grateful eyes, then turned around and opened the door and walked out.

Sisyana was the only one left in the room, and the slightly lonely afterglow of dusk just shone on her side face, making her feel a little cool and warm.When Irene really walked away, she took off the disguise in front of Irene just now, stretched out her hand to hold her heart, and tried hard to suppress the feeling of wanting to cry.

Heartache, heartache...

I care about things about you so much that I even get scared.

I won't be jealous or anything, how could this kind of thing be possible!

……

When Irene came to the room arranged for Yingxin and knocked on the door, she saw the elf girl's expression as if she had pushed away the dark clouds in the sky, instantly swept away the haze between her facial features, and greeted happily and panicked: "Love!" ...Master Irene, why are you here?"

I just got along with my lover for a while, and Irene didn't know what to say when I came to face this elf girl again.Thinking of Sisyana's instructions, she said hesitantly: "We will live here for a while, is the room I arranged for you okay?"

"The room is fine, the ventilation is very good, and there are some human books in the room. What I was reading just now was the "Hundred Years of the Decline of the Empire", which recorded some deeds of Lord Fina that I didn't know. I admire Lady Fina more and more..." It seems that Yingxin really likes to read books, her eyes seemed to be shining brightly as she spoke, she didn't realize it until halfway through, and quickly added, "Ah, of course my respect for Lady Irene will not change. Where is Lady Irene's room?"

"It's on the other side of the passage. I'll take you there later."

Yingxin opened her eyes wide, and asked expectantly: "Is it far away? Can I still help Lady Irene get up like before?"

In the Fairy Secret Realm, and all the way from the Fairy Secret Realm to Bailin Castle, although Irene slept alone, Yingxin would enter Irene's bedroom on time every morning to urge her to get up, which made Erin, who was used to sleeping late Although it is distressing, it is not worth the other party's kindness.But according to the current situation, it is obviously inappropriate to let the other party enter your room every day, so Irene avoided the other party's sight and whispered: "You are now a distinguished guest of the elves, and you don't need to do the work of those servants. "

"That's it, I see." Although a little disappointed, Yingxin, who is docile by nature, has never made excessive demands except for the one time when she attacked Irene when she was taking a bath.

Although she felt guilty, Erin still tried her best to put a smile on her face: "It will be a noble dinner for human beings later, you will be interested in this, right? Come with me, I will let sister Eunika take You dress up a little more beautifully, and then enjoy those exquisite food!"

"Hey, can I participate too?" Yingxin asked anxiously.

"Since it was Xi Ya's decision, there must be her intentions." After thinking for a while, Irene thought of something, and comforted the other party, "It's not difficult to conceal your elf identity, please rest assured."

Saying that, Irene thoughtfully held Yingxin's hand: "Let's go."

Seeing a slight blush on Yingxin's cheeks, she gave a low "um" and followed behind Irene, taking a crucial step towards the vast and indescribable human world ahead.

Chapter 5 Dinner Party and Unexpected Guests

On the winter solstice of the year [-] of the Qinglun calendar, the main hall of the Earl's Mansion of Bailin Castle.

As the owner of the mansion, Earl Mai Pei Bull, who was performing official duties, hurried back to the city after hearing the message from Her Royal Highness, and was ready to welcome another distinguished princess for a dinner.He was amazed by the name "Alyssa Mina St. Olysses" and the legendary bloodline represented by this name, but also admired the ability of Sisyana who he supported.

A few months ago, when Sisyana was too sad to stay behind closed doors, he still felt sorry for it, and had a lot of worries about Wakabayashi's situation and future.

As for the fact that Sisyana left a letter and left without authorization, it made him feel that he didn't know what to do.If it weren't for the kindness that the princess had shown him, the conscientious earl would not have stood so firmly in supporting Sisyana.

However, what is unexpected is that the departure of this seemingly willful princess seems to have a deeper meaning. Not only did she forge a friendship with the little duke of Morvia, but she was also involved in the civil strife in Silesia, even as a woman He became the commander of the coalition army and left a good story in a foreign country.

Finding that the princess had grown so much in just a few months, Mai Pei Bull was surprised, but couldn't help but feel great relief.Therefore, at the age of nearly fifty and still maintaining a single status, he became more and more determined to devote all his energy to the cause of assisting Sisyana to become Queen Ruobayashi.

Beautiful, smart, kind, full of sense of justice and also has the ability to fulfill justice, except for being a female is a bit regrettable, she is almost the perfect queen candidate.

Mai Pei seems to have seen the glorious future Ruo Lin has after Sisyana ascended the throne.

At this time, the dinner party has not yet started, but the two old dukes from the northeastern area of ​​Wakabayashi—Duke Gregory and Duke Marcus have already taken their seats, waiting for the appearance of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

As a country with relatively concentrated royal power, most of Wakabayashi is directly administered by the king.Ever since Grand Duke Rudolf put the crown on his head, the Theresia family has always been cautious about the big nobles. They have adopted a combination of legal restrictions and marriage appeasement. And let the nobles maintain a loyal attitude to the royal family.

Therefore, although Duke Gregory and Duke Marcus inherited the titles handed down from their ancestors, the strength they controlled was not strong, and the area of ​​the fief was even smaller than that of Earl Maipe Bull, the lord of a city.Although they are dukes, they have always been squeezed out of the power center of the dynasty. However, the two families seem to accept this situation and have kept their own three-acre land for more than 100 years.

In a hundred years, Ruolin's new duke is Duke Rudolf Perrin, who has served as the prime minister of the kingdom for more than 20 years, and who is famous in the mainland as a sword master, and who has the same name as Ruolin's founding ancestor.Under such a dazzling halo, the other dukes in Ruolin seemed a bit overshadowed.

Of course, no matter how inconspicuous these two dukes are, they are genuine dukes, and it is still of great significance to Sisyana to gain their support.

Right now, two old acquaintances, Duke Gregory and Duke Marcus, are chatting and reminiscing about the past while waiting for the arrival of the princess, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.Directly opposite the two dukes, a middle-aged man wearing a general's military uniform and a resolute face with a Chinese character was sitting. It was Wakabayashi's northern army commander Bradley Young.

His Excellency, commander of the 8000-strong standing army, seems to be reclining on his seat with his eyes closed because of the exhaustion of the journey.

Over the years, Ruolin has never fought a war with other countries, but no one would doubt the combat effectiveness of Bradley Young and his subordinates.

In order to cope with the strong rise of the Anruel Kingdom in the north, Ruolin established several standing legions with reference to the military system of Anruul.Except for the destruction of the Central Army Corps and Elise City guarding the royal city, the Northern Army Corps, the Southern Army Corps, and the Western Army Corps all retained their complete organizational systems—the imaginary enemy that the Northern Army Corps faced was the extremely aggressive Anruel. Kingdom, so both generals and soldiers are the most elite candidates.

Although Bradley Young never said the reasons for supporting Sisyana in the battle for the throne, he has a good character and a good reputation in the army, which is very reassuring.It is said that the princess admired Bradley very much and wanted to marry his second daughter, Anita Theresia, to him who was still the deputy of the legion commander at the time. There was a good story.

Thinking of this, Mai Pei Buer turned his attention to the last person in the hall, that is, Wenjies Caroline, who was wearing a neat military uniform and stood at the door.

This young man with extraordinary background but unfortunate experience is almost the man most trusted by the princess, and he also repays the princess' trust with his own efforts and dedication.Every action of this young man is as precise as a clock, as if there will never be a mistake.Even when he learned that his younger sister Eunika had been promoted to become a sword master, he didn't show anything in front of outsiders, but instead devoted himself to more arduous martial arts training.

The few people in the hall at this time, together with the girl who will enter the arena with the princess later, the noble girl who needs no introduction, Earl Mai Pei Bull seems to have seen the hidden strength in this group Great power.

A power that can save Wakabayashi who is in danger, and even affect the situation on the mainland.

Thinking of this, Mai Pei Buer couldn't help but feel embarrassed and ashamed of what he had just learned about his brother Ernest's extremely offensive behavior towards the princess in the afternoon. In order to save his brother's official career, he couldn't help but consider waiting What kind of method should I use to apologize to Her Royal Highness the Princess for him.

At this moment, Sisyana led a girl into the banquet hall slowly.

The fresh light blue dress is flowing under the light, and the soft sky blue hair is pouring down. Sisyana's beauty and elegance are naturally needless to say; what is even more amazing is the girl next to her, with slightly curly hair. The chestnut hair shimmered brightly, and the luxurious and pure snow-white princess dress caught everyone's attention in an instant. This delicate, noble, mysterious...but with incredible temperament girl , it is the real protagonist of this dinner, Irene.

Forced to wear such a dazzling princess dress, she was obviously very nervous before going on stage, but when she was led out by the girl beside her, Eileen suddenly calmed down again.

This was the first time she and Sisyana held each other's hands in front of everyone.

In the society of the nobles, this practice of holding hands and appearing on the stage expresses the friendship of "sisters" between each other. Although it has a lot of political meaning, Irene still gets an extremely sweet feeling because of it.

There was a slight red glow on the cheeks, quietly enjoying the tenderness of a girl, Irene sat down with Sisyana in the eyes of everyone.When the other party's hand left, Irene felt a sense of pity, and grabbed Sisyana's finger in private, but was pinched by the girl angrily, and then reluctantly separated.

The expression on Sisyana's face remained unchanged, she turned her head and said to the two girls following behind, "Unika, Miss Yingxin who came from afar... and Wenjies, you all sit down."

Eunika also changed out of her usual maid outfit, and changed into a silver-gray dress that only noble ladies would wear, hanging on her chest.The pendant with the sword and the Caroline family emblem reminded her of her origin and identity of the Juggernaut, but apparently she seldom wears this kind of dress, and the little skin exposed on her neck and shoulders made her a little uncomfortable and nervous It is not very stable when walking down.

She lowered her head slightly and gave an "hmm" before sitting down as Sisyana ordered.

As for the elf girl Yingxin, she deliberately wore a fluffy hairstyle to hide her two sharp ears.Like Eunika, she is wearing the dress of a noble lady. The clothing is mainly in fresh green, which is more conservative than Eunika's. The emerald green leaf pattern on the fabric complements her fair skin, giving the girl a radiant glow. A pleasantly pure and serene scent.

Since it was the first time she faced such a situation, Yingxin anxiously cast a look of help at Irene, and after getting encouragement, she sat down uncomfortably on the second seat on her right.

At the same time, Wenjiesi also sat next to his younger sister Eunika.

Sisyana looked around, and said: "Duke Gregory and Duke Marcus, thank you for coming, Commander Bradley, you have worked hard too... I hurriedly invite everyone to gather together today. There is only one, which is to celebrate the safe return of my good sister."

Hearing the wording "good sister", Eileen quietly pursed her lips to express her dissatisfaction, only to hear Sisyana continue: "Her real name is Alisa Mina St. Olysses, and now she uses The name 'Irene'... Regarding her deeds, I believe I don't need to introduce more." After a pause, Sisyana turned to Irene again: "Let me introduce you to the people present. "

After Sisyana finished introducing the people present and said a few words on the scene, Bradley Young said thoughtfully: "Please forgive me for asking, Her Royal Highness was here to protect her , to regret the marriage with Guidinis of Anruel, is it not?"

Sisyana was taken aback for a moment before explaining: "Perhaps it can be said that, although there are various factors, if Irene hadn't appeared, my attitude at that time would not have been so firm..." Said Halfway through, Sisyana suddenly realized something and decided to avoid this topic.

It is well known that Bradley had an inexplicable ambiguity with Ruolin's second princess, Sisyana's sister, Anita.But this relationship soon ended with Anita's foreign marriage, and Bradley kept silent about that incident all these years.

According to the current situation, Anita Teresia has returned home with the support of a foreign king. How will Bradley, who is about to meet her in battle, feel?

In this way, as the waiters brought the delicacies to the table one by one, Sisyana, who was the focus of attention, chatted with everyone at the banquet one by one, looking quite skillful.Since Eileen is not good at dealing with people in such occasions by nature, she simply focused on the delicious food in front of her while enjoying the fragrance from the girls around her.Only when the elf girl next to her occasionally showed a confused expression, she would explain some terms that appeared in the conversation under Yingxin's shy help-seeking gaze.

When the dinner was almost coming to an end, the two dukes talked about the interesting story of their pursuit of a countess when they were young. The topic was getting heated, when a waiter walked up to Wentiers and whispered to him What did he say.

Wenjiesi showed a surprised expression, got up and walked outside.

Not long after, he returned to the hall, looked at Sisyana with questioning eyes, and said, "There is a princess who said she has something to visit, and she is waiting outside the door..."

Sisyana asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"Miss Dale of Duke Perrin's family seems to be in a hurry." Wentiers looked at Irene again and added, "She probably doesn't know about the return of Her Highness Irene, so I just said I want to talk to Her Royal Highness, should I let her in?"

Sisyana said in a reproachful tone: "It's too impolite to turn away a distinguished guest, let alone a weak young lady, please invite her in quickly."

Miss Dale is here?

Watching Wenjiesi take the order and leave, Irene couldn't help recalling some things that happened when she was with Dale Palin in Bilanbao.To be honest, she has a good impression of this intelligent and talented girl who is a princess but has no pretensions. She can't help but look forward to the reunion, but suddenly feels that her arm has been pinched severely.

Feeling a little pain, Irene turned her head away, and saw Sisyana next to her smiling and talking with several other people, she didn't even glance at Eileen, as if nothing happened.

Eh?

...Suddenly there is a chilling feeling, is it an illusion?

Chapter 6 The Princess' Request

Under the eyes of everyone, a noble girl walked into the hall.

She has a head of dazzling blond hair and a good figure. Because she came here on a hurry, she was dressed a little dusty, but when she stepped into the hall, the elegant and charming temperament on her body still revealed the noble air that a princess should have. field.With a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, she bowed to Sisyana on the main seat. When her eyes swept over Irene next to her, doubts, surprises, and surprises flashed in her eyes, and she bowed again. .

"This equally honorable lady, what should I call you?"

Touched by the meaning of No Yu in Dai'er Palin's eyes, Irene couldn't help but whispered: "Miss Dai'er, you should still remember my name?"

"If you call her by her first name, it would seem that I am too rude." Dai'er's pair of beautiful green eyes sized up Irene for a while without blinking, then nodded, and said with a smile, "Do you still remember me this time?" I am really flattered by such an inconspicuous old friend... I hope that we can take care of our old friendship in the future."

Before Irene could answer, Dai'er sat down beside her.

During this period, Erin's arm was pinched again severely.

For some reason, the person who was so jealous was naturally Sisyana next to her.Feeling the lover's mood, Eileen secretly complained, but also had a subtle sense of sweetness.

After the banquet was over, Sisyana ordered Eunika to arrange the guests' rooms, and then brought Dale Palin back to the room with Irene, who had something to discuss.The three of them sat by the bed, and Sisyana spoke first: "Miss Dai'er has a hasty visit this time, so there must be something urgent, right?"

"That's true." Dai'er nodded, and said seriously, "This matter is related to Ruolin's life and death. In order to convince the princess of my family's sincerity, I can only choose to come in person."

"Is Ruolin alive or dead?"

Doubt appeared in Sisyana's eyes.
