Please offer everything to Her Majesty the Princess

Unable to see through the emperor's thoughts, Victoria could only ask cautiously: "Father...what do you want to ask?"

Kevin didn't look at Victoria, but gently stroked each precious gem like a lover.

"Have you ever imagined what it feels like to hold supreme power in your hands?"

Victoria's eyes turned, and she immediately placed her palm on her right chest, following the etiquette of the imperial nobility, expressing her loyalty to Kevin, and sincerely praised him:

"Father, you are the master who will revive the Rhine Empire. You are the only one who has such supreme power under the blue sky of the Rhine Empire."

"cold……"

The emperor raised his head, his cold eyes seemed to penetrate the soul, "It feels cold to sit in such a seat."

Then he took a page of golden document from the desk and threw it at Victoria, questioning in a low and authoritative voice,

"The Ibro people in the northeast are eyeing the rich land of the Rhine Empire. How many citizens' homes have been destroyed by ice floods? Tell me, what are you doing?"

Papers were flying in the air. Kevin lowered his eyes and calmly watched Victoria pick up the documents in a panic. This time he raised his voice and his momentum came like a lion.

"As the third princess of the Rhine Empire, what are you doing? Victoria, you make me feel cold."

Victoria looked down at the official document, which was obviously a document for the joint establishment of a crown prince.

The most taboo thing for an emperor is to form a clique for personal gain. This kind of official document forcing the emperor to appoint a crown prince is undoubtedly the most stupid form of forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Making his father suspicious of him, this should be the result that Karta wants?

"Father, are you talking about the joint appointment of the crown prince?"

Kevin sneered and said in a chilling tone, “Victoria, do you feel that your current status can no longer satisfy you?”

"Father, I have never had such thoughts."

Victoria was well prepared. She placed her right hand on her left chest and bowed 90 degrees in chivalrous manner.

Then, he pointed at the bright red names on the document with his slender index finger and argued word by word.

"The son of Duke Francis drank and injured four Imperial Patrol Knights half a year ago. Brother Carta asked the Imperial Capital Interrogation Department to bail him out through illegal means."

"Minister of Education, Brother Carta presented the famous painting "Lament of the Goddess" worth 10,000 gold coins at the banquet held by his wife last year."

"Lieutenant General Louis married Brother Carta's distant cousin, Miss Nadia, five years ago."

"Father...do you need me to continue?"

"If I have a rebellious mind, then as a smart person I shouldn't be standing here calmly."

After saying all this in one breath, Victoria raised her head and looked directly at Kevin with a resolute gaze, her tone also seeming to become aggrieved as she revealed her inner thoughts.

"Did you know? Someone was in my bedroom yesterday! Constructing a magical illusion... If I hadn't been discussing Cardin's business with someone for the empire, I wouldn't even have the chance to stand here and talk to you today."

"Father, I'm scared. He has already blatantly assassinated a member of the royal family for the second time. Who will be the next target? Father, have you ever thought about it?"

At this point, she pursed her lips and lowered her head in a somewhat unconvinced manner - of course, she was acting for Kevin to see.

Kevin already knew who did it.

He glanced coldly at Victoria who was looking down, and suddenly changed the subject.

"Do you feel wronged? The treasury reported that you opened the treasury without permission."

"Yes, father, Royal Sister Grace needs the Kress Magic Grass to save her life... We cannot let the Rhine Royal Family become a laughing stock of the Cardan people, so I opened the treasury without authorization."

"However, I blocked the news of the imperial sister being injured again in advance, so it is absolutely safe."

Victoria said as she studied Kevin's expression carefully.

On the wrinkled male face, Kevin just raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Well... you did a good job. The honor and interests of the Rhine Empire are the most important. Internal strife will only plunge the country into chaos."

For him, the Treasure City is just for novelty and fame; the most important thing is to protect his own rights and continue to expand them.

"Look at the situation right now. The ice flood has broken the dam, the country is in turmoil, and the Ibro rebellion in the northeast is getting worse. What do you think you should do now?"

Victoria followed Kevin's gaze, and the emperor's ambitious eyes had already planned his own way out.

It is the map of the northwestern part of the empire hanging on the red wall.

The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Before the emperor's power was shaken, all Victoria could do was to endure.

So she raised her head, looked Kevin straight in the eye, and said faithfully,

"Rhine is an empire born of swords and fire. Father, as a member of the Rhine Empire, I am willing to go and quell the rebellion."

"Okay! Then I will give you my sword."

The emperor had a half-smile on his face and patted Victoria gently as a reward.

"As my daughter, as the most dazzling princess of the empire, you should return victorious and capture Phoenix alive!"

"Then - the Empire will grant you the honor you deserve."

For Kevin, this was a necessary step.

He not only needs to weaken Victoria's power, but also give Victoria a glimmer of hope and slowly balance it out.

He would not make Victoria his crown prince.

But Karta is not up to the task, the fourth prince is still on the battlefield in Nadambi, and the sixth prince is only ten years old and too young... We must support a new candidate as soon as possible to balance the crown prince structure.

For some reason Kevin suddenly thought of Grace who had been assassinated many times...

Kevin frowned again with a complex and disgusted expression.

She? She was weak in character, no different from a vase. As that woman's child, it would be better for her to die early.

……

At the same time, on the other side of the palace, the busy nun was in the servants' kitchen, preparing lunch for the delicate princess.

"I don't want to eat what the maid made. Hey, Afro, can you make me lunch yourself?"

——Grace made the request with a stern face and confidence.

How could he refuse his savior?

Afro originally wanted to make it according to Grace's taste, but suddenly remembered something - Her Royal Highness the Princess seemed to be very resistant to sweets.

I resist it to the point where I will vomit if I eat it.

Therefore, when it was time to put the sugar in, Miss Afro hesitated for a moment while holding the brown-gray sugar bowl.

Even white bread tastes terrible without sugar and butter.

As Her Royal Highness, Grace should learn to enjoy herself a little...Sweets are something that can make people feel happy.

It's okay for such a lonely, pitiful, yet slightly lovable princess to feel a little bit of happiness, right?

So Afuluo added a small amount of sugar.

"All right."

Afro clapped his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at his masterpiece on the round plate with satisfaction.

The delicate and delicious cream cake is covered with a beautiful layer of icing. The simple and delicate sandwich is filled with fried eggs and fresh vegetables, and a piece of medium-rare steak with attractive color.

It looks very sumptuous. I think Her Royal Highness will be satisfied.

"Miss Afro, do you need our help?"

"Need not."

Afro stubbornly refused the maids' help in pushing the cart. She held the silver handle, her clean face full of anticipation and joy, and slowly pushed the dining cart towards the girl's bedroom.

The iron rollers rolled round and round, and Afro passed through the long and narrow oil painting gallery and finally arrived in front of the closed door.

Brother Nurkic had already left, leaving only his father and the princess in the huge room, and a close conversation could be heard faintly.

What will you talk about?

Afro pricked up his pointed ears and leaned forward curiously.

But unfortunately, as Victoria's bedroom, the walls were made of almost completely soundproof material, and one could only roughly judge from the sound that there was someone inside.

As for what to do or what to talk about, I have no idea.

……

As the sound passed through the thick walls, in the quiet bedroom, Her Royal Highness the Princess was lying quietly on the goose down bed with her hands folded in front of her stomach, looking at Ke Ang expectantly with her shining red eyes.

"Marquis Cohen Argerich, according to what you said, the joint document has been delivered to His Majesty. What do you think His Majesty will do now?"

Ke Ang has been in the political arena for a long time, and the loving look he gave Grace before has turned into seriousness and caution.

"Openly praise but secretly criticize, gradually weaken Victoria's power, support new forces to fight against them, and then wait for the return of the Fourth Prince, gradually lay the foundation, and finally appoint a crown prince."

Grace smiled playfully and propped her chin on her palm. "What's the specific method?"

Ke Ang's eyes flashed with a trace of worry as he thought. He said steadily: "I can't guess what your majesty means..."

"Marquis Cohen, have you ever thought of climbing to a higher position?"

Straightforward words, spoken with little pretense.

Ke Ang's eyebrows twitched alertly as he looked at the princess who was supposed to be weak.

No, she shouldn't be weak. Her performance in court was enough to show her madness and ambition.

"Ah, even if you don't answer, your expression is betraying your thoughts. You look so ambitious."

The girl used her slender index finger to curl her hair, and said something thrilling in a calm tone like "Let's go on a picnic today" -

"If you ask me, Marquis Cohen, why don't you support me to become the crown prince?"

"Don't you want to try the feeling of reaching the sky in one step? How will you know if you don't try?"

Grace's cold voice contained endless ambition, like a demon guiding mortals to fall step by step, using desire to pull Ke Ang into the trap of the alliance.

To be honest, there is no one who doesn't want to climb up. From the moment we are born, we have to find our own place in the group.

But this is not fixed, climbing can change your destiny and class.

"Your Highness Grace."

Keang's ambitious eyes seemed to have found their home all of a sudden. He placed his right hand on his left chest close to his heart, bowed with imperial etiquette, and sincerely reached a consensus.

"After the marriage contract was signed, we were already sailors on a merchant ship."

"smart people."

Grace showed a satisfied smile.

"Marquis Keang, Afro will be back soon. I will come to you if I need you. Do you have anything else to do and go back first?"

"Of course, Your Highness Grace, good afternoon."

After saying this, Ke Ang turned around, and his back gradually disappeared with steady steps.

Grace looked at the scorching sun rising gradually outside the window. The weather now was countless times better than the previous cold and cold snowy day.

Spring is coming. Grace squinted her eyes and used her hands to cover the bright sunlight like a cat.

Gurgle, gurgle, the sound of rollers was heard, and a figure brighter than the sun slowly appeared.

Her beautiful blonde hair swayed gently with her light footsteps, her fair skin sparkled in the sunlight, and her green eyes were clean and clear.

The kind and lovely Miss Afro pushed the dining cart, her eyes like crescent moons, and she came to the bedside with a smile on her face.

"What are you talking about with your father?"

He sat down on the edge of Grace's bed without any concern and intimately, half turning his back, tilting his head, and asked curiously.

I have to say that a sincere smile always has the power to touch people's hearts.

Grace didn't know why she felt happy when she saw that smile.

But she didn't need to show such emotions, and continued to say coldly: "It's about the marriage."

"Marriage?"

Afro immediately frowned in alertness.

"Correct."

Grace nodded in affirmation and glanced at Afro.

The golden smile disappeared in an instant, like some strange face-changing art, which was extremely interesting.
