Princess' personal painter

In this way, when Erin timidly followed Unica back, looking at Unika's indifferent back, she felt like a child who had made a mistake.Her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't help thinking about what to do if Eunika threatened her with this matter.

Fortunately, until returning to Her Royal Highness's bedroom, nothing to worry about happened.

When the two returned, Sisyana was cleaning up in the courtyard behind the room. When she saw the two people who appeared, she walked over and smiled and said, "You guys came back just in time. An important guest is here. Eunika, take a bath. A cup of tea, prepare some snacks; Erin, get ready to draw!"

Obviously, Sisyana didn't notice the strangeness between the two of them at this time.Eunika nodded and walked away temporarily. As for Irene, she couldn't help asking in doubt, "Drawing?"

"This meeting is related to a major event in my life! Maybe it will become a historic event? Anyway, please record it." Sisyana said with a smile, and found that the girl's expression became strange. She knocked on the other person's head and explained: "The person here is my uncle Penelope Theresia, who is also the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, His Excellency 'Queen Power'."

Penelope Theresia is also a member of Wakabayashi's royal family and the king's cousin of the same clan.For the past five or six years, he has been in the position of prime minister. He is quite trusted by the king, and he is diligent in political affairs.

At the beginning, when Anruel proposed a marriage, Penelope played a leading role in the process of facilitating the marriage.However, since Sisyana returned to Elise on her own, causing the marriage between the two countries to break up, the prime minister who holds an important position and is known as the "royal authority" has not expressed his attitude yet.

Therefore, it is almost Wakabayashi's number two person today, and Sisyana's elder of the same clan, His Excellency Penelope Theresia, who has a huge influence on the kingdom both in the political arena and in the royal family, This visit must have intentions in this regard.

Of course, it is not surprising that the princess put down her figure and came to receive her in person.

While recalling the visitor's information in her mind, Eileen also became a little nervous.She nodded in response, then hurried back to her room to pack up the painting tools.Although during this period of time, her painting skills should have improved a lot, but this is the first time Irene has performed her "duties" as a personal painter, so she will inevitably feel a little uneasy.

Moreover, the guest this time is higher in status than Sisyana.

Even the fate of the princess is not completely in his own hands.

Sighing in her heart, and thinking of the messy things that happened just now, Irene took a few deep breaths, simply tidied up her appearance, and tried to calm down.

When the painting tools were moved to the courtyard of the bedroom, the evening sun poured down on the grass, reflecting a piece of golden yellow. The silver-haired maid put the brewed tea on the table, and the noble and elegant blue-haired girl was carefully cleaning the grass with a rag. Wipe the stone tables and chairs.At the edge of the courtyard in the sky, a man in a military uniform stood with his hands behind his back, as if he was admiring the scene below the castle, where most of Alice City was bathed in dusk.

Although his back was facing this side, his tall and straight figure clearly revealed awe-inspiring power.

It's like that feeling that you can control everything in your hand...

Staring at the Prime Minister without blinking, Irene found herself in this world, and finally met a character with the temperament that a "man" in her mind should have.Surprised and moved, she suddenly had the urge to paint and wanted to copy this picture.

Even after adapting to the girl's body, I still feel a little bit unwilling...

As if sensing Irene's continuous peeping, the man turned around suspiciously, and cast his deep gaze in Irene's direction.In the silent dusk, separated by a distance of about ten meters, the eyes of the two met for a moment. Irene quickly lowered her head, pretending that she was tidying up the drawing board.

Her face was a little pale for a while, and her body was sweating a little.

She clearly felt the murderous intent hidden in the man's suspicious gaze.

Chapter 15 The Proposal to Go South

Fortunately, this killing intent lasted only for a moment.

After the man looked away, after a short while, Irene breathed out quietly. Because of the yearning for the other party's temperament in her heart, the kindness that had just sprouted towards the man had disappeared.

In his eyes, I'm just an inconspicuous little character who dares to peep, right?

Thinking about it this way, she couldn't help but feel a little bit depressed, but she let go of part of her psychological burden and made adjustments before painting.

The artistic conception of the dusk became more intense. Ruolin's little princess, Cesyana Theresia, roughly finished tidying up here, and invited the Prime Minister to sit down, saying: "Uncle is busy with government affairs all the year round, since he rarely comes to my place, Just take a good rest. This is a precious black tea from the East, please enjoy."

Penelope walked to the table, picked up the black tea on the table, but did not sit down.He stood there, squinted his eyes and took a sip, then put it down, shook his head and said, "If you have too many worries, you won't be able to taste the flavor of this tea... You can't taste it like Her Highness the Princess." Carefree."

The implication in these words could not be clearer.

Sisyana showed an apologetic expression, and saluted: "Because of my personal willfulness, I have caused a lot of trouble to the country. I am really sorry."

"Don't blame yourself." Penelope said lightly, "In fact, you have done a good job. Not only have you occupied a favorable position in terms of righteousness, but you have also won a potential ally for our country. As far as these two points are concerned, I I can't blame you either."

Sisyana asked curiously: "Earl Simmons conveyed his intention to form an alliance?"

"Not yet, but a consensus has been reached to jointly fight against Anruel." After a pause, Penelope continued, "However, although the enmity with Anruel is inevitable, formal relations with foreign countries , will always arouse the doubts of the people, and this matter has to be suppressed before it is announced. But you yourself, do you have any plans in the future?"

Sisyana shook her head and said seriously: "Please ask uncle to clarify."

"Actually, when I agreed to the marriage contract earlier, I had some doubts." Penelope sighed and said, "Since you are the disciple of 'that' legendary figure, in the future, there is a good chance that you will have Extraordinary achievement. However, the royal family treats you as an ordinary princess according to the long-standing tradition and asks you to marry a foreign country. Will this be a huge loss? And the ambitious Anruel, is it out of Because of coveting your combat power, you made a request for marriage? These two points were things that I couldn't prove at the time."

"I am Ruolin's princess. I have enjoyed the love of the people, so I naturally have to shoulder the mission entrusted by the country." Sisyana said softly, "It's just that it must be done in a way that I can approve! If marriage cannot be changed If it comes to peace, I will not make unnecessary sacrifices."

These few words fully expressed her belief.

"Thank you princess for your answer."

After saying this, Penelope pondered for a moment, then turned her back.During this short period of time, some changes seemed to have taken place in him, and he said with emotion: "In just a few months, you have created a series of legends in the north and won the worship of the entire country of Povis; The battle at the Fort made the whole continent know about your extraordinary strength, and you, who are so dazzling, really shouldn't be buried just like that."

Sisyana blushed slightly and said, "Thank you uncle for your praise, I just did what I should do."

Penelope was facing the sunset, standing with his hands behind his back, and his steady voice wafted in the evening wind: "His Royal Highness's demeanor is something I admire a lot. Once, in the history of the empire, There is also a princess whose early life experience is very similar to yours, she later built a country that has been strong for hundreds of years with almost nothing, does your highness know who I am talking about?"

Sisyana was slightly taken aback, and she had already guessed the answer, but she hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to say it or not.Raising her eyes, she noticed that Penelope was standing motionless in the sunset, still waiting quietly, so she whispered, "Princess Fina?"

In fact, she guessed the answer so easily because the historically famous Princess Fina, who established the Kingdom of Bohemia, was her idol all the time.

Penelope was silent for a while, then said, "Since you can think of the answer, I don't have any worries."

There seemed to be a special meaning in this sentence, but before Sisyana thought about it, Penelope turned around and said, "This time I really came to visit with a proposal."

"Uncle, please tell me." Sisyana nodded and said.

Penelope pondered: "I just received news about this matter. There are reports of orcs appearing near the southern coast. Judging from the number of witnesses, it should be true."

"Orc?" Sisyana was startled.

In the history of the mainland, it is well known that since the rise of the human nation more than 1000 years ago, after a long-term racial war, alien races including orcs, elves, and giants were driven out of this continent. ruler of the territory.

Among them, the orc race, which is the most hated by human beings, retreated to the "Wasteland" continent on the other side of the Southeast Asia after failure, and was forced to survive in a harsh environment.And some tribes living in desert areas, in order to exchange supplies for survival, often sailed to sea to plunder.

However, due to the backwardness of navigation technology, orc pirates can only plunder passing merchant ships and some islands in the South Sea at most, and there is no way to threaten the mainland on this side.

What's more, the coastal area in the south of Wakabayashi happens to be a section of natural harbor where the coastline of the mainland bends inward. From a common sense point of view, it is almost impossible for orcs to appear.

If the witnessing information is unquestionable, someone really needs to go and search it.

Thinking of this, Sisyana immediately understood the Prime Minister's intentions.

"The turmoil has not passed yet, and I have a lot of concerns on my side, so I can't express my attitude towards Her Royal Highness's resignation." Penelope explained, "However, my position may not be important. Yes, it should just be an opportunity to build momentum for yourself."

"In what name am I investigating the incident?" Sisyana asked.

"It's the same as the way Her Royal Highness used to travel. It's good to visit privately in the name of the royal family." Penelope confirmed it again, "In other words, do you agree to go to the south for investigation?"

"After thinking about it, I can't find any reason to refuse." Sisyana showed a playful smile on her face, "This is indeed the best way to completely solve my problem; Besides, Brother Wang happens to be in charge of the army in the south, so I miss him after not seeing him for half a year."

Penelope nodded: "Well, I will make a suggestion to your father tomorrow."

"Thank you very much for your uncle's kindness." Sisyana said sincerely.

"With the strength of you and the two servants, I believe this matter will not be difficult for you." After a pause, Penelope said seriously, "However, don't forget the potential danger, and you must not ignore it at any time. Careless, after all, what you represent is the hope of the country's future. At any time, please remember this warning, Your Highness the Princess!"

Sisyana nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice."

Now that the conversation has been reached, the Prime Minister, who has devoted himself to the kingdom, sighed, and turned his gaze to the distant sky.A look of worry appeared on his face, but he didn't know what he was worrying about.

Chapter No.16 Painting and the Exploration of Magic

In this completed painting, the sky courtyard reflects the radiant sky, and the open scene is refreshing.The prime minister in military uniform stands on the edge of the railing with his hands behind his back and gazes at the sunset, while the blue-haired princess gracefully pours tea. This scene before the conversation begins, the atmosphere is quiet but there is a hint of chilling.

Sisyana stood in front of the drawing board and stared at it for a while, then said softly: "From this painting, I seem to feel your uneasiness... Irene, is that so?"

According to her understanding, the conversation with her uncle just now should belong to the category of relaxed and happy, but in Irene's paintings, there is clearly a sense of urgency and depression.

It is quite normal to inadvertently integrate one's own emotions into the work when creating, but Eileen did not expect the princess to be so sensitive in this regard, she was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "Yes."

"It was my negligence that I didn't care about your feelings." Sisyana nodded and smiled again, "However, occasionally seeing and understanding the world through other people's eyes is also a must for me. What I did. So, thank you anyway!"

"Yeah." Eileen replied in a low voice.

"Also, I almost forgot to mention it." Sisyana put her eyes on the painting and commented, "The painting is really good, without the feeling of unfamiliarity before, now it looks like it was written by a master , Sister Irene is almost ready to start a sect, right?"

Erin blushed slightly: "It's not that exaggerated."

When she came to Elise and picked up the paintbrush again, Irene found that her painting skills had improved a lot compared to before.Is this because when Her Royal Highness asked her to be the "exclusive painter", her attitude became more serious, or is it because of the help brought to her by the magical headgear?The reason for this was not well understood by herself.

Perhaps, after going through so many things, the tempering of xinxing is the fundamental reason?

After a little distraction, Irene suddenly raised her head and said, "My lord, can you accompany me for a while?"

The unexpected request made Sisyana tilt her head: "Huh?"

Irene took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "I think I have found some inspiration!"

Sisyana asked in surprise, "Huh? Really?"

……

After returning to the house for dinner, Irene and Sisyana came to the courtyard again.

Under the night, the city of Alice is a little quiet, with scattered lights dotted everywhere, gradually falling into a deep sleep.Looking up, I saw dots of stars displayed on the sky, sprinkled shimmering light on the soft grass, and laid out a short dreamlike road in the sight.

"I have to take back the treasure first."

As Sisyana said, she stretched out her hand, and let the "blazing starlight" placed beside Irene return to her side, causing it to float in mid-air.With a slight movement of the mind, the magic power on the surface of the spar surged quietly, and bright yet soft light radiated from it, illuminating the high-altitude courtyard.

If the relevant people knew that this Bohemian heritage treasure not only fell into the hands of the old enemy princess, but was also habitually used by her as a lighting object, I would be so angry that I would vomit blood; The old Sisyana was unaware of this.

Thinking of the girl in Chinese clothes who claimed to be her "sister" who was trapped in the spar for unknown reasons; Irene's face was a little subtle, but she immediately thought of the business, and said softly:

"I discovered something very important."

"Hmm." Sisyana nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, I seem to have learned how to 'borrow' other people's magic power." Irene stared at the princess and asked, "So, I want to give it a try, can I?"

"Borrowing magic power? It sounds a bit like the attack method of 'Demon Eater'." Sisyana was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Is this the magic that belongs to Irene?"

"I don't know if it will work." As she spoke, Irene pointed to her headgear, which was "Vancetti's Whisper", and said in a low voice, "It's what 'it' taught me."

This is probably thanks to the witch Jacqueline, it was her "confrontation" with Irene today that made Irene finally understand the true purpose of the headgear, and also vaguely understand that she seems to have such a talent - she also relies on this , Jacquiline was repeatedly frustrated, and achieved the effect of "strategy" by accident.

Thinking of the strangeness, Erin quickly shook her head.

"Anyway, let's try it first." Sisyana said, stretched out her finger, and drew a circle in mid-air.

The slender green magic power flowed through her fingertips, and then quickly condensed into a faint blue flower.Sisyana held the flower stem, put it in her nose and sniffed the fragrance, then jumped a few brisk steps, and leisurely came to Irene, handed the blue rose, and said with a chuckle: "This blue flower made of magic power Rose, I will give it to my favorite and cutest sister!"

This move was clearly kind and somewhat teasing.When Irene took the flowers in a daze, her eyes were still fixed on the charming and charming princess, and she remained motionless for a while.But seeing the girl look over curiously, she blinked her eyes and asked, "Hey, could it be that I acted too much and you were fascinated by me?"

Hey, hey... You, you know it too!

When she came back to her senses, Erin quickly lowered her head to hide her hot cheeks.

Perhaps, staying with such a princess who is almost perfect and occasionally creates "surprises" for people is also a kind of suffering in a sense.The invisible pressure on her will make people wonder what is the "correct" way to get along, and people can't help but be dominated by her.
