Reject me, you damn woman.

On the high-level throne, Empress Divira, wearing a crimson dress, crossed her slender and round legs and supported her forehead with her hand. Her beautiful face and tone were calm.

However, Quinn, who was standing aside, couldn't help but turn her head slightly, because she heard a trace of extremely rare relief in her mother's tone.

But Traul, who was kneeling on one knee at the bottom of the stairs, was extremely confused.

He really didn't understand why, after learning about Lin En's rebellious refusal, Her Majesty the Queen not only did not show her wrath, but instead ordered someone to immediately double the reward that was not originally intended to be given to Lin En and give it to the other party immediately.

I came here to trick Lin En, but it seems like I'm here to help.

"Your Majesty, did you make a mistake? His Highness Lin En has disobeyed the great you!"

Troul braved the almost suffocating pressure and said boldly.

Upon hearing this question, Divira finally raised her eyes, and her golden eyes looked down at the steps. In the capital, she was even known as the "Queen's Right Arm," and asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the present:

"Sir Traul, I remember that your son is a businessman. Is everything going well for him recently?"

Troul didn't understand why the Queen asked him this question, but he still said quickly:

"It's all thanks to your majesty. Business in the capital is booming, and my son's business is also going smoothly."

"Thanks to me?"

The empress frowned slightly and suddenly shook her head gently.

Quinn on the side smiled and said:

"Your son is too greedy and stupid. He has no talent for business. The chambers of commerce in the capital are all very slippery. It is difficult to please them even if you sleep with them. Your son has gone bankrupt a long time ago. You have to help him out frequently."

"He is so miserable, are you mocking your Majesty's incompetence in management?"

"Absolutely...absolutely not!"

Traul's face turned pale instantly.

"Your Majesty, my son is a fool, but thanks to your Majesty, he has made a comeback three days ago..."

He instantly realized what he had said and shut up immediately, but it was too late.

"Yes, your idiot son has made a comeback, but is it really thanks to your Majesty?"

Quinn touched her lips with her hand, looking thoughtful:

"As far as we know, your son suddenly received a large investment three days ago, which not only helped him pay off his debts, but also allowed him to have fun every night in the brothel of those succubi in Daramond. It would not be possible just because of your majesty, but also because of you as a good father. There must be many people who funded your useless son in order to please you, the confidant of the queen. Who are those people? Do I need to tell you?"

Traul trembled all over and kowtowed wildly:

"I know I was wrong. When I go back, I will ask that loser to return his investment!"

Facing Traul who was frantically begging for mercy, there was no mercy in the Queen's eyes, she just shook her head lightly.

"That's not necessary, Master Trower. Everyone has weaknesses."

Quinn laughed.

"Given your son's current situation and expenses, asking him to return his investment would be like letting him die. Even if you keep calling him a waste, are you willing to let him die?"

Traul turned pale as if struck by lightning.

And Quinn, at the Queen's signal, moved lightly from beside the Queen to in front of Troul, stretched out her jade-like arm, and gently pressed it on his forehead.

"Sir Traul, using your position to help your son gain benefits is nothing. Your biggest mistakes are two."

"First, you mistook the glory of Her Majesty the Queen for your own, and accepted money that you shouldn't have received. It was transferred seven times. It took the Shadow Knights a lot of effort to find out that the money came from the Withering School of the Magic Bell Tower."

"Second, even someone like you would subconsciously protect your son who you always call a waste. Why do you think that Her Majesty is really as cold and heartless as a god and won't show even a little bit of mercy to my lovely brother?"

"We heard everything you said and what happened~"

Traul's whole body was shaking violently, his eyes rolled back strangely, and then he fell to the ground, his breathing gradually stagnating.

Quinn clapped her hands lightly.

For an arcanist with illusion attributes, it is not difficult to cause a person who is extremely frightened to become brain dead.

In a sense, sending off the traitorous "Queen's Right Arm" in such an almost painless way should be considered the kindness of his mother.

In fact, even Quinn was a little shocked that both sides reacted so quickly.

On the one hand, the Magic Clock Tower reacted so quickly that it had begun to alienate the Queen and Lin En. On the other hand, the Queen took advantage of the situation and not only eliminated Traul, a potential traitor, but also made the Magic Clock Tower's plan fail.

Even though she, who spent every day in the Shadow Knight Division, didn't know, the Empress had already learned about the Demon Clock Tower's counterattack method and gave a counterattack.

It's not that my mother doesn't have political strategies, but her power makes people subconsciously ignore her strategies.

Those who underestimate their mother will probably end up in a miserable situation.

I wonder if you are ready, Brother Lin?

Thinking of her younger brother's bold words about defeating their mother, Quinn couldn't help but rub her legs together in excitement.

I always feel that no matter who laughs last, it will be very interesting!

"Quinn."

The Queen suddenly called softly.

"Mother, I'm here."

Quinn touched her chest and saluted.

"You should know the next plan of the Demon Bell Tower."

"Yes, I will have the Shadow Knights focus on defending Eden College. The principal and Master Gust will be happy to assist us."

Quinn said.

Unexpectedly, Her Majesty the Queen shook her head gently:

"No, you need to do the exact opposite. Tell the Shadow Knight to stop caring about Eden College and get rid of the bugs in the Imperial City first. I want to know who leaked this secret arrest."

"Eh?"

Quinn blinked her beautiful silver eyes in confusion.

"But...the academy's Spring Cup and grade activities are about to begin, and Novi will probably be participating..."

"No buts,"

Her Majesty interrupted her daughter:

"Let them go. Soljana and Gust are not pushovers. Besides, there are too many mediocre graduates in the past few years of Eden College. They need a real training to select the talents that the empire really needs."

At this point, Her Majesty paused, and her face, which was originally as majestic as a god, was frivolous, revealing a hint of human teasing:

"What's more, my good and thoughtful son actually included me in his plan. I always feel a little...uncomfortable."

She looked at Quinn again:

"Quinn, next, I want you to reject all requests from Lin En in my name. Don't give him any help other than the reward until he wins the Spring Cup or surrenders on his own initiative."

The last meal before execution!

Listening to the Queen's ruthless words, Quinn couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for his good brother.

However, she didn't know that if Lin En was present and heard the Queen's decision, she would faint from excitement and then sing a song on the spot: Only Mother is Good in the World.

........

ps: Do you find this kind of plot about expanding the world view and enriching the background of the characters boring? If it’s boring, I will try to have less of it and let the male protagonist continue to output fiercely to the female protagonists~

Chapter 69: Theresa: I should be under the table (4.5k)

The door of the office suddenly opened, and Elena and the recovered Historia returned to the room. At this moment, Lin En stood up and bowed gracefully to Teacher Millicent.

"Then I'll take my leave, Miss Millicent. I hope we can have a closer contact in the future."

It must be said that Lin En in this life is very handsome. Coupled with the aristocratic temperament and excellent talents cultivated since childhood, there is almost no opposite sex who would not be attracted to him, and Millicent is no exception.

If this student grows up, he will definitely become a person that is unattainable to people like me!

She couldn't help but think so.

Being able to form an alliance with such a young prince, Millicent felt a sense of guilt like an adult sister who took advantage of her younger brother's youth, as well as a sense of pleasure that came from the instinct of a succubus.

Therefore, Millicent's smile was rarely bright, and she even blushed as she said:

"Of course, Lin En."

However, Elena and the other girl, who had originally walked in with smiles on their faces, were no longer so happy after seeing this scene.

"It's too tight, I'm afraid you'll get crushed!"

Historia muttered in a low voice.

When the three were about to leave, Millicent seemed to suddenly remember something and called out to them:

"Student Lin En, the college's Spring Cup event seems to be about to begin. Does your group want to participate?"

"The Cup of Spring?"

Lynn searched for the word in her mind.

This seems to be a very important traditional event of Eden College and one of the largest events of the college. All students, regardless of grade or college, participate in the competition set by the college. The winners can even receive rewards prepared by Solgana, the dean of Eden College.

"Dean Soljana's reward?!"

After hearing Millicent's scientific knowledge, Historia and Elena were both moved.

Although this dean did not have such great military achievements as Gust in his early years, he was a famous arcane traveler with extremely rare space attributes. He traveled all year round, and his experiences and collections were as vast as the sea of ​​stars. Even foreigners like Historia and country girls like Elena had heard of him, which shows how famous he was.

However, Lynn’s answer was: “Not interested.”

Hearing this answer, the other two were a little surprised:

"Hey, why is it that Lin En is not interested in the prize set by Dean Solgana?"

"Huff, huff, huff~ You scumbag must be afraid of competing with Historia! If you don't participate, Xiao Ai and I can form a team. Then we will show off the winner's reward in front of you, a scumbag!"

However, Lynn was completely unmoved by what the two said and shook his head.

This Spring Cup event is so important, yet it is held not too early or too late, but right after the start of the school year, and there are no restrictions on the grades involved in the competition. It is obvious that the idea is to let the so-called seniors "teach a lesson" to the freshmen, and let them see that the world of arcanists is not that simple.

Of course, this is just a general rule. In the respective story lines of their two protagonist teammates, they will break through the Cup of Spring after overcoming numerous obstacles, and then get the reward from the dean and become famous in one fell swoop.

Of course, Lin En was not afraid of those so-called seniors, but he simply had no interest in such troublesome activities. All his thoughts were now on how to gain more benefits from the hidden heroine, the Queen Mother.

And...even if we take a step back, that Dean Solgana is also a very troublesome person, and Lin En doesn't really want to face that old woman.

"Really? What a pity! I thought you would be very interested. I heard that in order to mobilize enthusiasm for this event, people from the palace will also come to the scene."

Teacher Millicent bid farewell to the three people with a little regret.

"A member of the royal family?"

Lin En, who had already walked a few steps, was startled when he heard the words. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and whispered to himself:

"This time it should be that girl Novi."

However, Elena, who was obviously in a good mood and looking forward to the Spring Cup, suddenly froze in her smile.

It seems that the main purpose of following Lin En and eavesdropping is to find out who the mysterious Miss Novi is!

But it seems to have gone completely astray!

Elena subconsciously wanted to call out to Lin En, but she found that the latter had already walked a long distance away. She couldn't help but lower her head in dejection. Seeing this, Historia beside her asked curiously:

"Hey, Xiao Ai, are you worried?"

Before Elena could answer, Historia immediately understood and slapped his head, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a wicked smile: "I know, you must be regretting that the trash didn't participate in the Spring Cup event and that you can't kill him, right?"

Elena quickly denied:

"no........."

However, the latter became more and more excited, gesticulating and saying:

"Your Highness Historia already has a plan. How about we go and attack the small fry tonight?"

"Night...Night attack?!"
