【Location: Office of the Lord Chancellor】

Beatrice put down the document she had just finished working on and looked up at Louis who was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

She stood up and walked over quietly, her rosy lips moving slightly: "Sorry for the long wait."

Louis shook his head: "No, I quite like reading."

Beatrice smiled and said, "Because of that greedy desire for knowledge you mentioned?"

Louis nodded, then shook his head: "My greed for knowledge gave me positive feedback in my studies, but my choice to study was my own will."

"But I'm a little unhappy."

Beatrice raised her finger and lifted Louis' chin. "Although I am glad to see that you can use the power of the great sin for the right purpose, we will be revealing our relationship to the public next week."

"At this time, I hope you can use your greed for the right purpose, for example..."

She blinked and deliberately didn't say the last sentence.

Knock, knock , knock ! There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Beatrice's lady-in-waiting came in and when she noticed Louis' presence, she glanced at him warily.

After discovering that Louis' clothes had not been undressed, she smiled with satisfaction: "Your Highness, I will put the processed information on your desk first."

"Okay, I'll watch it tomorrow."

The female official bowed and left the office.

Beatrice said teasingly, "See? My lady-in-waiting is worried that I will eat you up."

Louis closed the book, a smile flashed in his dark eyes: "It's hard to be your lady-in-waiting. After all, Beatrice, you are not someone who follows the rules."

Beatrice was amused by him: "But that's why I chose her to be my lady-in-waiting, to remind me not to go too far."

She sat on the sofa, pushed the book in Louis' hand away, poked his waist and said:

"Don't read the book, look at me."

"No, read the book, it's important."

"More important than me?"

There was a hint of danger in Beatrice's voice.

Louis opened his mouth and said: "Of course..."

"Um?"

"…Not as important as you, but this is all for you."

Louis' hunting sense shuddered, and he quietly changed his description.

He put down the "Encyclopedia of Gem Dragons" in his hand and looked thoughtful.

Beatrice said calmly: "How can you help me?"

Louis said without hesitation:

"Those two dragons in the Smoking Mountains are a bit troublesome. I have to help you deal with them."

——After all, if he doesn’t solve the root cause of the Sapphire Dragon Plague, he would be stupid.

If you find a way to solve it, at most he will be unhappy.

Beatrice was stunned for a moment, and a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes.

She chuckled. "Are you worried that they might cause a riot? Then send someone to hunt them down."

"Will the loss be heavy?"

"There will definitely be losses. I heard from Jino that two ancient dragon-level sapphire dragons are indeed difficult to deal with, but—"

Beatrice's eyes flashed coldly: "In a place ruled by Enser, how can we allow others to act recklessly?"

"Give them only one chance, go, or fight!"

Beatrice spoke with great force.

That wanton look was like the hunting goddess Artemis taking off her mask, carrying a bloody smell.

At this moment, she was like a forbidden fruit coated with poison.

Dangerous and tempting.

This was a look that Louis had never seen on her before.

Perhaps this is the true image of the princess in front of outsiders.

He is a bit reckless, but he definitely has the decisiveness of a leader.

——But he is by no means annoying.

"If that's the case, then I'm going to go even more."

Louis opened the book that Olivia had read before.

Pulling the bookmark page open, Louis pointed to the page with the sapphire dragon. Beatrice's eyes were attracted by his calloused fingers and she followed the direction.

The book only says:

[This dragon rarely chats with people unless the topic of discussion is related to military strategy, which they seem to particularly like.]

Beatrice looked at Louis with her big eyes.

Louis chuckled and said, "In my hometown, there was a popular military strategy game. Let me tell you about it..."

Louis took out the "props" he had customized in advance from the dimensional bag and began his first missionary work in this world.

…One hour later…

Louis smiled like a big-tailed wolf: "Do you think it's funny?"

Beatrice said with a look of surprise: "Interesting, indeed interesting!"

"Let me tell you how I'm going to do it."

So another five minutes passed.

Beatrice nodded and laughed: "That makes sense, Louis, it's a good idea to use courtesy before force!"

"So, let me do it, how about that?"

"Um."

"And Beatrice..."

"What's wrong?"

"Can you please take your hand off my tail?"

Beatrice seemed to be in a good mood today, and whispered:

"No, I have prepared the things you asked me to prepare for you before. I will help you put them on."

Louis was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, he felt a chill on his back.

Beatrice put a piece of elastic fabric that looked like an extra-small arm guard around the back half of his tail.

"Ding ding ding, a custom-made dimensional bag engraved with my fiancée's name."

The style, the pattern, and the feel of it on his body, Louis instinctively told him that it was very expensive.

But he had already made up his mind to overcome the original owner's shortcomings, especially to limit the spread of greed.

So, although his heart was broken, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Duo, Duo, how much money? I'll give it to you."

In a trance, he seemed to see many small gold coins with wings flying away in front of him.

"Don't ask me, this is a gift from me to you."

Then I added in my heart: "It can also be the proof that you belong to me."

There was no way Louis could guess what Beatrice was thinking.

He didn't even dare to think about it.

This is what people who have never been in love are like.

Even if you have a beautiful vision of your future significant other in your mind.

But when we encounter it in reality, we will subconsciously reject it.

Seeing that Beatrice had no intention of accepting the money, she even deliberately lifted her right foot from her boots, hooked his foot and said:

"If you really want to, bring it back to me as a gift next time you come across something interesting."

Seeing Beatrice giggling, Louis could only nod in agreement.

"What gift should I choose? Ah, I got it."

He changed his mind and made up his mind.

At this time, Beatrice said again: "I heard about what happened during the day. You and Olivia did a good job."

"Olivia is quite capable." Louis said with a smile, "She is just silly and cute sometimes."

"Don't bully her. She is most afraid of pain."

"How is that possible? She's so cute." Louis laughed, "But I always feel something is wrong about the dust explosion. Could it be that the fire dragon burned the warehouse?"

Beatrice was a little curious: "What does this mean?"

Louis then told the story of the fire dragon burning the warehouse.

However, the eldest princess shook her head and said, "That is definitely not the case. It is really a reserve grain depot. We don't care about it."

"But, a dust explosion?"

Beatrice smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of the rats."

"Also, after returning from the Smoky Mountains, there is something I would like to ask you for help with..."

"good."

Louis reached out and tucked her thighs that were hooked around him back into her boots:

"Don't play with fire, Beatrice."

“Just play!”
