"But...Caroline, you actually know this?"
"Your Highness, this is just simple knowledge gained from books."
At present, neither of them has ever been in a relationship. In fact, Caroline knows that no matter what she says, Her Highness Victoria will seriously consider and adopt it.
"Row."
Victoria nodded, and she pressed down the neatly folded documents with her palm.
"When you help me deliver the documents to the Council Chamber, call Grace's personal maid Sarah over. I have something to ask her."
Caroline bowed respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."
At this point, Victoria let out a long sigh, crossed her fingers, pressed them against her red lips, and looked out the cold window.
I heard from Sarah before that the princess has the habit of writing a diary.
Every time the diary has been hidden away secretly, maybe now we should start from Grace's inner world and understand her current situation.
But the relaxed mood did not last for a few seconds, and Victoria heard Caroline's cold reporting tone, word by word, telling her the thing she least wanted to face at the moment.
"By the way, your sister, Her Highness Grace, is looking for you. She said that she wanted to share her sister's worries."
78. It’s just a system task! Complete it vigorously
Victoria didn't know what to do with her sister.
Originally, she should have been a beautiful little flower growing in her own heart.
But now the flowers have withered and corroded, becoming bloody abscesses on the heart.
It can't be cured, and it can't be removed.
Victoria sighed, feeling overwhelmed. She asked tentatively:
"Is Grace up now?"
"Yes, but after finishing the National Morning Meeting, the Undersecretary of the Interior, Dal Francis, has been waiting for you in the side hall of the Council Hall for a whole day..."
Caroline glanced at the clock secretly. "Two hours, you see...?"
The Emperor of Rhine controls the entire country by controlling the Central Council.
The Council of State is composed of several departments including national defense, education, justice, internal affairs, and the Magic Association. All departments coordinate and cooperate to govern the country together.
Although the church was independent of the Senate, imperial power outweighed ecclesiastical authority and, in essence, it still obeyed the emperor.
The national morning assembly was usually held at eight in the morning and ended around ten o'clock. At this time, the ministers would return to their respective departments to issue instructions concerning the emperor.
Dal Francis was not a high-ranking official in the Ministry of the Interior and could only barely make it to the position of deputy minister. Although he was second only to the minister and deputy minister, the work he did was not at all up to standard.
Victoria's face was gloomy and her brows were furrowed.
Four years ago, Dal Francis gained some military merit in the Battle of Snag Valley, and was subsequently asked by the former Grand Duke Francis to transfer to the Ministry of the Interior.
As a prominent family in the empire, the Francis family, led by Archduke Francis, controls the Empire's Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of the Interior is their own territory.
Archduke Francis had a close relationship with him, and in his father's eyes, he belonged to the Victorian faction from every perspective.
Victoria also knew about the bail incident half a year ago.
I just didn't expect him to be so stupid as to be used as a knife by someone.
No, maybe he has made it clear that he is cutting ties with me?
Victoria sneered, her red pupils slightly lit up like a cold and poisonous snake lurking in the darkness, and she spoke the devil's words lightly.
"No. I heard that the winter in the empire is extremely cold and it is very easy to get sick..."
"I heard that Duke Dar Francis has been ill recently."
Caroline straightened her back and listened to Her Royal Highness Victoria's orders like a robot executing orders.
On the left side of the desk is a model of a military soldier used for deduction.
Victoria casually picked up a puppet in an empire blue uniform and played with it nonchalantly.
"Please tell him that the patient should rest well. The Ministry of the Interior does not need him to worry about it for the time being. Let him recuperate at home with his son."
"what……"
Victoria suddenly remembered something and her eyes lit up. A brilliant smile appeared on her beautiful face. She reminded him deliberately,
"By the way, remember to tell him that kneeling on the icy lake for three days and praying to the goddess might help."
The Francis family openly made profits from the silk industry, but secretly filled their pockets by controlling the casinos.
Victoria always imposes the most severe punishment on betrayers.
For these greedy and fickle worms, we must hold the cold sword of Damocles above their heads and deeply engrave the pain and consequences of betrayal into their minds, so that they can maintain relative loyalty.
No betrayal will be allowed, and no mistakes will be allowed on this road.
Victoria's eyes were gloomy, and with a snap, her slender hands tightly grasped the soldier doll and knocked down another doll mercilessly.
It was like a heavy hammer falling and sentencing someone to death.
"Gambling has been rampant in the western part of Saint Walter in the Empire recently. Caroline, please ask the Ministry of the Interior to conduct a thorough investigation of this matter."
As Victoria's personal maid for five years, Caroline clearly understood the princess's silent anger at this moment.
"Yes, Your Highness."
She obeyed Victoria's order respectfully, then she looked at Victoria with a dark cloud on her forehead and asked carefully,
"Then...what about your sister, Her Royal Highness Grace?"
Every family has its own problems. When the emperor's sister was mentioned, the woman who was originally as cold and devilish as a demon suddenly became like a deflated ball.
Victoria put the doll down helplessly and rubbed her temples in annoyance again.
"Let Sarah get the diary first..." - Only in this way will I have some confidence to meet the imperial sister.
After all, it was the princess who endured the severe pain in her ankle and crawled around in a long circle just to kiss herself yesterday.
Victoria felt dizzy when she thought of the gentle touch and the moonlight last night.
……
Grace got up only slightly later than Victoria.
Of course, the first thing she did was to look at the documents on the desk on the left.
Victoria was cautious and meticulous, and basically left no useful clues.
The magic crystal is leaking out...
Grace lay on the bed with her eyes lowered in deep thought for a long time, and finally called the maid to pass the message to Victoria:
"Can you please call my sister over... I want to be someone who can help my sister solve her problems."
If a person does not want to be abandoned emotionally, then he can only come up with a reason why he cannot be abandoned in terms of interests.
The disguise of the deeply in love imperial sister, no, this should be the true face of Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess.
Because it is sincere, it will not be exposed.
The thin gauze curtains of the princess bed hung from the top of the tent, dimly framing a small world.
I am just like the bird that is bound and entangled by the nameless silk thread and cannot fly high.
But now my body is too weak, and it will take about two weeks of recuperation for my ankle injury before I can get out of bed.
By the time she had the power to move freely, Victoria had already gone to the northeast to quell a rebellion.
Grace was half lying on the head of the bed, pinching her chin with her index finger, thinking as hard as she could.
We must start with another approach.
Grace is not a rigid and ignorant person. The weakness she deliberately displays in order to challenge the limits of the game is not contradictory to her willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
Maybe a system? ...Magic?
Grace opened the system panel again after a long absence.
As a game system, it generally only displays the attributes of the target.
For Grace, there is basically no information except for the display of the SP energy bar and skills.
Character Grace【SP:3/3】
Skills: [Advanced Holy Flame] [Mirror of Insight]
I haven't consumed my SP energy value...so it's naturally full.
Grace moved her gaze to the strategy option Afro.
【Saint Aphrodite】
【Favourability: 62】
【Sanity: 75】
[Obedience: 20]
[Experience value: 0]
[Comment: A candidate for the Saint Lady that everyone loves.]
As long as Grace opened Afro's task and achievement panel, she could feel the bad atmosphere coming towards her.
[Forced Love. Perform angry sex when Afro is extremely angry. Reward: Frost Surround.]
[Foot is justice. Use any means to make Afro feel special towards Foot. Reward: Sandstorm]
[Slaanesh is greater than reason. Please make Aphrodite cry in excitement. Reward: Water Symphony]
[Human Furniture. Let Afro keep the furniture and use it personally for ten minutes. Reward: Dark Perception]
[Master of the Flower Rope. Please let Afro experience the charm of rope binding. Reward: Touch of Weakness]
[Role play. Please let Afro reach the maximum excitement in the forbidden role play, reward: Blade of Light]
……
There are many such unruly tasks, and Grace's tense and cold face could not help but look a little tense.
How are these tasks to be accomplished?
Rewards are important, but...
For the first time, Grace felt that the reward and task mechanism of Butter World was unreasonable.
She thought about it again and again, clenching her fists. How about trying Task 4?
It should be easy to let Afro pretend to be a chair and sit on it for ten minutes.
Grace sighed helplessly and looked up at the ceiling, feeling both anticipation of a challenge and nameless fear.
To be honest, her needs for love and sex are very small.
Because her life is filled with more important goals, and she never expects love from others.
Without expectations, there is no demand and no disappointment.
Grace relaxed her body reluctantly, breathing weakly like a fish drying up on the shore.
Yesterday’s kiss, yesterday’s hug, were so disgusting, so disgusting that I wanted to vomit, so disgusting that my whole body subconsciously trembled and I fell down, but in the end I was overcome by the determination to achieve my goal.
She can give her all without hesitation to reach her own other shore, but she is afraid of the next moment that has already been decided.
What are you afraid of?
Grace did not give an answer to her inner confusion, and her gaze drifted towards the bright and gorgeous chandelier on the ceiling.
Knock, knock, knock on the door, the sound of warm knocks rang out rhythmically.
Grace came back to her senses and sat up straight.
She cleared her throat, put a quiet book between her legs to cover it, and ordered in a cold voice,
"come in."
Her footsteps were as light as a deer, her golden hair floated in the air like ears of wheat, and her angelic face approached brilliantly, like irises in April, warm and beautiful.
The candidate saint, Miss Aphrodite, was wearing a refreshing white dress today. She hung her red woolen cloak on the hanger and greeted me enthusiastically.
