The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

The reason why I even sneak around is just to secretly care about the Eternal Duke who has been serving the Ursus Empire for thousands of years!

Although Fyodor does not think Natalia's delusion will come true.

No matter what, the existence of the black snake is too different from that of ordinary people, but it doesn't matter.

Because Natalia's actions will bring the emperor the information he wants to know.

Not to mention, the few remaining issues of Casimir Red Wine News that were handed over to the emperor by Ursus Intelligence Department and were treated with special Origin Stone techniques...

Fyodor hung up the communicator, spread out the table, and put away the confidential documents recording the living habits and preferences of the previous Dukes of Koscice.

'Even if He is really the so-called evil god, so what? '

'He has also been with the empire for thousands of years! '

'...'

'The immortal black snake can only be the god of Ursus! '

……

At this time, Kasheena did not know that Zaolu had secretly contacted Emperor Ursus.

And due to various considerations, Natalia did not have a black snake on her body.

The Eternal Grand Duke of Ursus must have some restraint, at least on the surface. To arbitrarily inhabit the will of the evil god in a nobleman, even a baron with the lowest title, is a violation of the tacit rules of the upper class of Ursus.

In the eyes of Black Snake, Natalia is both weak and trustworthy, so there is no need for Black Snake to pay too much attention to her.

His energy is far from abundant and superfluous enough to be wasted on Natalia.

And this is why Natalya feels guilty when facing the black snake, instead of breaking the jar.

Tallulah thought that Black Snake doted on Natalia more, but that was not the case in Natalia's eyes.

In the eyes of Natalia, who was still young at the time, Draco named Tallulah was the heart of Duke Cosiche.

Natalya is a noble... She is not the orphan of Duke Victoria who has blood but is not familiar with the life of the nobles like Tallulah.

Even though Natalia's count father is a new noble, it does not affect her understanding of Ursus' aristocratic social circle better than Tallulah.

Because of his identity as the heir to the Duke of Cosiche, while Tallulah was protecting him, it was also a veil that covered her eyes.

Natalia knew that in the aristocratic families of Ursus, only children who were valued and expected would be given heavy schoolwork and limited entertainment time from an early age.

And those children who look like they are being pampered are actually just because they have never had high expectations.

Natalya knew Tallulah's importance to Koscich... and she had no objection to it originally.

After all, the reason why she was able to temporarily live in the Duke of Cosiche's mansion and avoid the same tragic fate as her mother was only because of the Duke of Cosiche's unique compassion and tolerance for children.

She was already dependent on others, so how could she expect more?

She originally respected and admired Tallulah and regarded her as an excellent role model... because the Eternal Grand Duke of Ursus treated her so harshly and valued this eldest sister who did not look like Vaivan so much.

Then it must be because there is something special about this big sister!

But when Natalia realized that Tallulah was very envious of her freedom from expectations, she discovered that Tallulah was also lazy and even dared to talk back to Kosich...

Like a dragon sitting on treasure, he squandered the wealth at will, even if Tallulah didn't know it.

A trace of subtle jealousy sprouted from Natalia's heart.

Chapter 4 Sanomi: Being rigid about gender is not true 'loyalty'!

"Ah!"

In a room, Tallulah sneezed while sitting at her desk, flipping through documents.

Alina, who was helping to process the documents, asked worriedly:

"Are you okay, Tallulah? You're not going to squeeze your body again without me knowing, are you?"

Feeling Alina's worried and slightly reproachful gaze, Tallulah shook her head.

"No? I have learned a lesson from what happened last time. Being stubborn is really not conducive to the development of our career."

Tallulah continued to correct the document.

These days, the integrated movement has its own mobile town.

Although the scale is small, it is still the home of the infected people.

The integration movement survived in the cracks between Great Yan and Ursus, but it was not attacked.

Due to Wei Yanwu's guilt towards Talulah, Emperor Ursus' latest reform of the law on infected people meant that no one would deliberately make things difficult for this organization, which was purely composed of infected people.

With the help of materials and technology provided by the Captor Group, as well as the Ursus engineers who were suffering from ore disease and rushed to join them after hearing about the reputation of the integration movement, a small mobile town could be easily established. .

Although Tallulah always felt that the arrival of those engineers who claimed to have been persecuted by Ursus was a bit too coincidental.

Moreover, the new emperor has promulgated new laws. Although infected people still need to be centralized and managed, they will no longer be sold directly to the mines by pickets like in the past.

However, because the technology they provided could indeed resolve the urgent needs of the Integration Movement, Tallulah did not take action against them for the time being, and only ordered the Regicide to keep a close watch on them.

After all, maybe these are really people who are being persecuted because of their status as infected persons who accidentally contracted the disease.

The difference between Ursus and other countries is that no matter you are a noble or a scientist, once you are infected with ore disease, you will soon be visited by pickets of infected people.

Wealth and power have no effect unless you are at the top.

Even if you are a soldier who has made great achievements for Ursus, in this era of relative peace without huge battles, if you contract ore disease, the best way to behave is to voluntarily withdraw from the army before your comrades notice.

Such was the case with Herage and the Patriots.

In Ursus, both nobles and civilians hate infected people very much. Even because ordinary people have poorer ability to withstand stress, civilians are more enthusiastic about expelling those unfortunate people suffering from serious diseases.

Because ordinary civilians are not like nobles, they can ensure that infected people will not appear in their elegant mansions.

Ordinary people have to live and work. They have no guards or protection measures. It is even difficult to buy medicines to prevent infection...

If they were walking on the street and were suddenly affected by an infected person who blew himself up, their lives would be ruined.

Fyodor's decree received resistance both from the nobles who had lost their interests, and from the common people who were more numerous and harder to destroy.

……

it's fine!

The situation is getting better!

Fyodor has taken back most of his power, the old nobles who participated in the Chernobog rebellion have been executed one by one, and the rest have nothing to do.

In other words, the resistance from the nobles has been minimal. As for the more ignorant ordinary people who do not understand the logic of ore disease infection...

To be honest, even the emperor has nothing to do.

Even the Ursus Empire, at the peak of its power, was unable to confront the prejudices of the army and the people.

Only by subtle influence can we hope to eliminate the widespread prejudice against infected people in Ursus.

As a ruler, the Emperor of Ursus is also well aware of the potential dangers of reform... that is, it is easy to change oneself to death.

He needed more information, and in his eyes, the Integrated Movement was barely a good observation object.

Of course, Tallulah didn't know anything about the plans behind these, and the integration movement didn't have many news channels.

As for Alina... Black Snake and Alina revealed relevant information, but asked not to tell Tallulah.

Black Snake felt happy because she saw Tallulah's frightened look through Alina's eyes.

……

"I really haven't overstretched my body. I've learned the lesson from the last time that old guy took advantage of my weakness to sneak up on me..."

Tallulah tried hard to explain at first, but then she realized that her friend seemed to have formed a deeper connection with the old thing in her mouth... In other words, the bad things she said behind her back might reach the ears of the black snake. .

So she looked a little guilty and asked Alina, who looked a little helpless, for confirmation:

"By the way, He's not in you now, right?"

"No."

Alina emphasized her tone slightly.

"I have already said that Teacher Kasheena has not seen me for a long time... Also, Tallulah, are you hiding something from everyone recently?"

"..."

Tallulah originally wanted to put on an enigmatic and elusive expression to deal with it.

Kosich once taught Tallulah that as a qualified noble, you must keep your emotions and anger hidden...and although it is difficult for Tallulah to confuse right and wrong like Kosich, ignore likes, praise and dislike, , but Tallulah doesn’t know everything.

At least Kosich's cold and arrogant expression was very similar to Tallulah's imitation.

After all, Cosiche had scared her a lot when she was little.

……

But seeing the worried look on her friend's face, Tallulah didn't calm down in the end.

"Alina, I am indeed thinking about something, but I don't want to hide it from everyone, just because... I haven't thought about it yet."

"I swear to you, Alina, as long as I think about it, I will tell you frankly."

"After all, that old guy likes to exploit avoidable misunderstandings between people."

After hearing Tallulah's assurance, Alina felt a little relieved.

"Then I will put the documents aside for now. You should also pay attention to your health and don't get sick like last time... The integration movement is now on the right track. If the flag falls, everyone will be upset."

After saying that, Alina continued to silently help Tallulah share some of the pressure on documents.

Tallulah also picked up the pen, looked at the documents, and signed them.

The integration movement has gradually been on the right track, and the infected people following Tallulah have received the leader's promise.

Shelter, food, and... that tiny bit of [future] that cannot be ignored.

But is that enough?

As long as we stop fighting and maintain the status quo... don't antagonize other countries, we just need to honestly guard this hard-won one-third of an acre of land.

As long as you deliberately ignore the suffering of infected people in other parts of this land, you just need to protect and cherish the people around you...

But can this kind of me really fulfill the ambitious ambitions I set for Cosiche in the past?

Such a self, such an integrated movement...

Is it really considered a success?

At this time, Tallulah fell into deep thought.

She suddenly recalled that Cosiche, who was trying to get her back on track, had doubts about what she had done before she was actively infected and declared her break with the position of heir to the duke.

"Tallulah, I can't understand..."

"I tried my best to think of you, but you refuted my suggestions and blasphemed my language. You remembered everything I taught you and wanted to run away."

"You are supposed to love me."

"But Tallulah..."

"Why would you give up everything you have for a group of people you don't know and whose interests have nothing to do with it?"

……

As for Rhode Island's main ship, Xenomi, holding the package in both hands, had passed the inspection and successfully found Kasheena's single-room dormitory.

She stood at the door, took a deep breath, and knocked softly.

Although the black snake on her body was not yet active, Xeno Mi knew that the adult should have sensed that she had arrived at Rhode Island.

She tidied up her appearance, hoping to show her best side.

Since experiencing the baptism of [Snake Slough], Sanomi can clearly feel the improvement in her thinking agility and perception ability, and has digested the gift of [Snake Slough].

Those warriors, managers, scholars, chefs, housekeepers...their experiences were completely absorbed by her.

However, Sanomi, who received these gifts, did not think about how to repay Black Snake's kindness.

Because she has long regarded the black snake as everything to her.

Her feelings, her life, her soul...

She had sworn a long time ago that she would dedicate everything to the black snake.
