When Xia walked out of the bedroom, he found that the light in the study downstairs was still on.
The faint and delicate fragrance that came from the distance made the image of the silver-haired queen suddenly appear in Char's mind.
"Isadela hasn't left yet?"
Xia was a little surprised.
In the past, because of her busy schedule with the affairs of the empire, Isadella would usually only stay overnight and return to the palace the next morning to deal with the mountains of military and political affairs, as well as to pass the buck in parliament with those nobles who had their own ulterior motives.
But I didn't expect that it was already noon today, but Isadella still stayed in her house and didn't leave.
…
"Duke Leo volunteered to serve as the Inspector of the Southern Territory of the Empire?"
In the study, Isadella looked at the file in her hand and narrowed her eyes slightly.
...
...
"This is the first time I've heard that... the position of the Imperial Inspector General can have such a great appeal to the nobles in the Imperial Capital."
The reason why the imperial capital is the imperial capital is because it is unique.
It is also the hub of power for the entire empire.
He took the initiative to exile himself from the center of power to the border...
This is a very rare thing for those nobles who are greedy for power and regard power as their life.
"Well, these are Duke Leo's exact words in front of the parliament."
"His Majesty Fioren, who was originally the Inspector of the Southern Empire, is now in seclusion in the Imperial Capital in order to cross the chasm from the Title Level to the Legend Level."
"And if Fioren successfully breaks through to the legendary level, His Majesty will no longer allow her to hold her previous position. She will definitely take up an important position in the military or the Governing Bureau of the Imperial Capital... Therefore, the position of the Southern Supervisor is now vacant."
At one side of the study, Diris looked at the documents in his hands and reported respectfully.
These are the realities of the imperial capital today.
As a former member of the White Tower and now a high-ranking official in the Empire, Fioren can be said to be a completely lucky man who has embarked on a smooth ride in life.
You know, the reason why the Silver Witch Silvia was awakened from her slumber in the Long Sleep Plane was because Fioren took the initiative to return to the White Tower and report about Char's whereabouts. If not for this, the time for Silvia and Char to reunite might have to be postponed even further.
The first time Char came into Isadella's sight in the border city of Reisa, and even when he was subsequently recruited as the new Swordsman, all of this was due to Fioren's unintentional report and recommendation.
It can be said that for the Lord of the White Tower and the Queen of the Empire, two throne-level powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the Western Continent today... Fioren can be said to be the matchmaker who helps them find the other half of their lives.
A pure and great contributor.
Although it would not be specifically manifested on a daily basis, a little guidance and reward were enough for Fioren to quickly complete the accumulation of decades of accumulation in the Six Rings and directly reach the realm of legend.
Of course, compared to Fioren, who received overwhelming wealth, Diris herself was not much worse.
He was promoted directly from a hidden pawn casually planted by Her Royal Highness the Princess in Saint Laurent College to a confidant serving Isadella.
And her own rank has also improved significantly.
Thinking of this, Diris also stretched out her hand and unconsciously stroked the desk and chair beside her.
Then, she quietly spread out her mental power, carefully recording the smell and imprint engraved on the furniture in the study.
This is the study in Char's mansion.
In other words, every piece of furniture here, including the desks and chairs, had been used by Char himself countless times.
Every detail and breath about Char is excellent dream material.
Normally, Arora herself is in charge of this mansion, and Diris doesn't dare to come here alone to collect materials for dreamweaving... She can only seize the time to collect materials when she visits with Isadella.
Then, use these materials to fill the dreams that you have created yourself.
To make the lustful daydreaming human boy more real and vivid...
As an extremely rare pure love warrior among the succubus royal family, Diris is not willing to absorb the sexual power of outsiders without restraint like other members of the same clan, otherwise she would not be able to contract the pure white unicorn.
Therefore, naturally, the only remaining method is this method of practicing self-dream weaving.
And now she is only one step away from becoming a legend. In order to truly achieve legend and make the succubus great again... Diris has put all her efforts into it and started collecting Char's materials right under the nose of her immediate superior, the Queen.
Of course, if Diris knew what a certain Night Dragon did not long ago, he would probably just sigh.
We are all playing with dreams, so why is there such a big gap between us?
While I was still racking my brains to collect material for my daydreams, an ancient dragon had already sneaked onto home base in my dreams.
"The southern region of the empire under the jurisdiction of the Southern Supervisor."
"If I remember correctly, it was mainly controlled by the Borgia family before."
Isadella looked at the file in her hand, her long legs crossed, and a slender curve was outlined under the black and red Black Eagle military uniform.
With her mental power, it was impossible for her not to notice Diris's little movements.
But she didn't care.
As a king, one should naturally have the tolerance to match it.
After all, Diris was just her subordinate, and perhaps even a dowry.
As long as she doesn't do anything beyond her authority in reality, Isadella doesn't care about Diris's little dream-weaving tricks.
The opponents in her eyes from the beginning to the end... were Sylvia, Aurora, and the golden elf from the black tower, whom Isadella had never met but had heard of countless times.
"Well, now that the Borgia family's tentacles throughout the empire have been eradicated... the southern region has also fallen into chaos to a certain extent. After all, the Borgia family's influence in the southern region has been deeply rooted for many years. Uprooting them will inevitably cause turmoil."
"Those evil cults are still afraid of the might of the battle when you were crowned king, Your Majesty, and dare not show up in the imperial capital again... But they have not given up probing the border areas."
"Add to that the chaos caused by the bandits, wanted criminals and gangsters in the Lost Territory, and the empire's control over the southern region has indeed declined."
Diris reluctantly withdrew her hand from the wooden table and answered again.
"And the reason why Duke Leo went to the southern region on behalf of the central government was to quell the riots of the evil cult and bandits and relieve His Majesty's worries."
"Of course, Duke Leo also made corresponding requests—"
"In order to quell the rebellion, we need to enhance the authority of the Inspector General. He will no longer only have the power to inspect the local branches and military departments in the Southern Territory, but will have full command authority, allowing the Inspector General to be above all official agencies in the Southern Territory."
"Oh--"
"What do you mean to relieve my worries?"
"The last sentence makes the Inspector General's position higher than the local military and the Administration Bureau. This is his real purpose."
Isadella picked up the coffee cup on the table and blew gently on the hot air.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on her lips, and her beautiful red eyes looked towards the corridor outside the door: "So, what do you think?"
"My dear husband."
Xia, who had been observing secretly outside for a long time, coughed lightly and pushed the door open.
"How come your majesty has time to stay at home today?"
"I handle government affairs wherever I am, so there is no difference."
"Besides, if I stay here, at least I won't have to see the ugly faces of the nobles in the parliament who are vying for power."
Isadella stretched lazily and took a sip of coffee. "Besides, wasn't there someone who complained in his heart earlier... that he felt that I spent too little time with you because of the affairs of the empire."
"Since there is a misunderstanding, we must seriously resolve it."
"Although I know you're just joking and don't take it seriously... but many times, lovers go their separate ways and become strangers... in the beginning, it all originates from some insignificant misunderstandings and trivial matters."
"No one cares at first, but eventually it gets worse over time and becomes irreversible."
Isadela looked at Char, her beautiful red eyes flashing with seriousness.
"I absolutely do not want us to go our separate ways one day and become strangers whose life paths will never intersect again. That is something I absolutely cannot accept."
“So, maybe you think I’m taking this a little too seriously, and that I can’t take it lightly… but I still want to repeat it again.”
"The identity of the Empress of the Empire is a responsibility given to me by my father and my elders... I also care about this responsibility very much."
"But I care more about you than the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the empire."
"I will try my best to find a balance between handling the affairs of the empire and maintaining our relationship."
"But if one day I can't have both, can't take care of both... then I will abandon the former without hesitation and stand on your side, Char. Whether it's eloping or falling into the abyss, I don't care."
Xia sat next to Isadella.
Then, he felt the Queen's slender leg resting on his knees.
“That’s my promise.”
"Not only here, but also when I'm facing you." "Even in front of the ministers, the elders of the family, or my father, this promise will never change."
Listening to Isadella's stern and unhesitating words, Char's heart couldn't help but move slightly.
He has come into contact with quite a few girls.
But one has to admit that this former princess, now the empress, still has a beauty that is different from everyone else.
The awe-inspiring majesty when he made that promise was just like the awe-inspiring majesty when the Black Knight Cain first met the Knight King in Esgania at the end of the Third Age.
"You are right."
Char nodded.
"If there is a misunderstanding, then work hard to resolve it."
"I also don't want to be unable to communicate frankly because of my pride when conflicts arise, and then regret it when the rift between us solidifies to the point where it can no longer be repaired."
"But, Your Majesty, you are wrong in one respect."
He smiled.
"To maintain a relationship, it is far from enough to rely solely on the efforts of one party, but it requires the joint protection of both parties."
"Your Majesty, you said you were willing to give up the entire empire for me... but if it really came to the point where you were caught between a rock and a hard place, it would just prove my failure and incompetence."
"This is not only your territory, Your Majesty, but also the hometown of Xiao Ai and me."
"And I am, after all, your sword bearer, your black knight."
Xia stretched out his hand and stroked the long legs wrapped in black stockings that were resting between his knees.
Every girl he knew was good in her own way.
However, at least in terms of long legs, Xiao Ai and Sylvia are still a little inferior to Isadella.
Perhaps only the mature golden elf master in his own family can be compared to him, but it's a pity that Char himself hasn't seen the mature master for a long time.
When I was a child, my main impression of Hathaway was that my teacher's airport was almost the same as Xiao Ai's, and I never cared about the details.
"So, Your Majesty."
"If you feel tired, you can try to rely on me."
Char enjoyed the pleasure of caressing the Queen's thigh.
At the same time, he took the file of Duke Leo's application for the position of Southern Inspector from Isadella.
Isadela did not resist, but just put her other leg up.
She leaned on Xia's shoulder and slightly closed her beautiful red eyes, as if she was resting.
"Yeah...I almost forgot."
"In the turbulent times before the establishment of the empire, the "Black Knight" Cain was praised by the Knights of the Round Table as a "talented assistant to the king." ”
"Not only did you kill enemies on the battlefield, you also took care of many affairs within the Knights Alliance, as well as arranging military dispatches and governing the people's livelihood within the territory."
"Such a talented person who is both civil and military, has lived a life like a salted fish since returning to the Fourth Epoch, and has never interfered in the empire's political affairs..."
Isadella gently hugged Char's neck.
"Can I understand that someone thinks that he has maxed out his favorability and has successfully conquered me, so he just lays down and plays badly afterwards?"
Xia felt a few drops of sweat sliding down his forehead.
I have to admit that he did have some such thoughts in his subconscious mind.
It’s like in GalGame, you’ve opened up a certain heroine’s route, unlocked the clearance CG, and then you can just lie back and relax.
It's a pity that reality is not a love-development game, and the empress in front of him is not a paper female character in GalGame who can be put into play once her favorability is maxed out.
"Let me look at the files for your majesty first."
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the file in his hand.
However, not long after reading the information about Duke Leo, Char felt that he could no longer hold back.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty."
"What crime? The crime of riding the king?"
Isadella did not open her eyes, but spoke softly.
"no--"
"Your Majesty, have you read the fictional historical novel called The War of the Three Kingdoms recently published by the Royal Book Society?"
"No, I haven't read it. I don't have much free time to read novels recently."
Isadella still had her beautiful eyes slightly closed. It seemed that handling the empire's political affairs had indeed made her a little exhausted.
"That's a novel I wrote. To be more precise, it's a piece of unknown history circulating in my hometown. I'm just a porter."
Xia sighed, "The very beginning of the book is about a certain ambitious man who realized that his dynasty was declining and the government was in turmoil. So he voluntarily resigned from his position in the court and asked to be a governor of a local state on the pretext of suppressing rebellion and stabilizing the local area for the court."
"The position of governor is above all local officials, which is the so-called abolishing the historian and establishing the governor."
He couldn't help but think of Boss Liu who was banging the floor with a Zhangba Snake Shield: "Of course, his real purpose is just that he felt that the country was about to fall apart, so he ran to the local area in advance and wanted to become a separatist prince in the troubled times."
Could it be that this smart guy named Duke Leo was led astray in this way?
Diris said thoughtfully: "So, the Swordsman did collect some information..."
"Duke Leo once made a drunken remark at an aristocratic banquet, saying, 'I would rather be the local emperor of the Southern Territory than be a minister in the imperial capital.'" ”
Although there was no such position as the Three Dukes in the empire, Diris had read the book and naturally knew what it referred to.
There is no way, that is the novel written by Char, and it is also the precious material used by Diris to weave dreams.
She had already read it in secret countless times and even knew it by heart.
"It's hopeless, this is so smart."
Xia held his forehead with his hand.
The premise of Boss Liu's dismissal of Shi Limu is that there is no such thing as an extraordinary worldview.
In this Western Continent where there are extraordinary people and all great power belongs to themselves, it is useless to engage in separatist activities.
Aren’t you really afraid that Her Majesty the Queen will be angry, and the holy sword’s energy will soar across three thousand miles and chop off your head directly in the imperial capital?
"I see……"
Beside Char, Isadela nodded.
Although she had never read the book "The War of the Three Kingdoms" mentioned by Char and Diris, with the spiritual power of the throne, it was not difficult for her to analyze and understand what Char and Diris said from the words between the lines of their conversation.
"I understand."
Her words were casual and plain.
At the same time, several silent messages reached Di Ruisi's ears, causing Di Ruisi to respond respectfully with a "yes".
"Well then, Char-san."
"Please allow me to leave first."
The succubus princess in a white dress spoke softly, glanced at Char reluctantly, lifted her skirt, and said goodbye to Char and Isadella with standard aristocratic etiquette.
The next moment, her figure quickly faded and disappeared.
Char mourned for a second in his heart for Duke Leo, whom he had never met.
Farewell, brother.
Although I am very happy that the book I copied from Earth can have such a great influence in the other world, and even has a practical master like you.
But unfortunately, you disturbed Tigress No. 3 in my home.
"That's enough of the small talk."
"Well, now, let's get down to business."
It was not until this moment that Isadella opened her beautiful red eyes.
Then, he stared at Char in front of him.
It was as if a duke's rebellion was just a trivial matter in her eyes.
"In the First Epoch, there is also the Eternal Page in the Black Tower, and the matter of your golden elf teacher should not have been resolved yet."
"Char, what are you going to do?"
