After Belle finished recounting the story of the royal family, tears streamed down her face. No matter how high her magical talent, she was still just a young girl who had barely come of age.
One moment she was experimenting with magic in her luxurious magic castle, and the next she was fleeing for her life with her underage brother.
During her escape, she had no time to think much, nor dared to think much, but now her longing for her father surged up suddenly.
"After my brother and I escaped, we never received any news from our father, and we don't even know if he was properly buried in the royal cemetery."
Jiang Shuran and Wen Mingyue sat on either side of her, one pulling out tissues to wipe her tears, the other gently patting her back and softly comforting her.
Lin Qianqian looked at the crying little girl in front of her, but didn't say anything. Instead, she secretly sent a telepathic message to Yunze.
"Husband, logically speaking, Belle's fate was already changed from the moment she chose to use summoning magic, so why does the system still want us to take her away?"
Yunze looked at the crying little girl across the long table and answered softly, "Perhaps, if we don't take her away, she will still choose the path of opposing her own brothers, fighting to the death, and ultimately destroying the world."
"Really? They seem to have a good relationship now, so it's unlikely they'll end up hating each other and fighting to the death!"
Lin Qianqian didn't quite believe that the siblings would end up like that.
Who knows?
Perhaps only time can preserve the most beautiful moments, only distance can create the most beautiful memories, and separation is the best catalyst for longing!
Therefore, the best way to prevent tragedy from happening is to separate them by thousands of miles and across vast distances.
It is only because we long to see each other again in this life, yet find it difficult to do so, that we cherish the beautiful memories we once shared.
This applies to love, friendship, and family relationships alike!
The couple ended their private voice chat after exchanging only a few words.
Seeing that Belle had stopped crying, Lin Qianqian finally spoke.
“Belle, now that you are an employee of the mall, your brother, as an employee’s family member, can enjoy family benefits from this moment on.”
"Family benefits?"
"Yes. That's right. We'll leave this plane one day, and you'll need to leave with us then. But before we leave, we need to make sure your brother is settled, right?"
Yes, that's right.
Lin Qianqian suddenly mentioned leaving, something Belle hadn't considered before.
She signed the employee contract without reading it carefully. At first, it was to save her life, but later it was to have a shelter, which is why she insisted on staying in the Dimensional Mall.
But leaving...
She was reluctant to part with her younger brother.
"Since we're going to settle your brother, we need to make sure he's settled properly. We discussed it yesterday and decided that it's best to settle him in the palace of the Kree Magic Kingdom. Since we're going to settle him in the palace, we must first reclaim the palace and the Kree Magic Kingdom. What do you think? Do you have any other opinions?"
Lin Qianqian's casual words left Belle speechless.
Her boss settled his brother in the Critics' Palace and reclaimed the kingdom. He made it sound as simple as settling his brother in a hotel room.
Is this the confidence of a strong person? She admires me so much, what should I do?
Her boss is so beautiful, strong, and cool!
"Belle, Belle, what do you think? Do you have any other opinions?"
Seeing that Belle was in a daze, Lin Qianqian called out to her a few more times.
"Oh...no problem, but boss, what exactly do we need to do?"
"How do I do that? I don't know either."
"Huh?" Belle was stunned. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
Before she could ask a question, Lin Qianqian continued.
"However, Chu Zhou and Luo Zexuan will come up with a plan. You can talk to them later about the military strength of the Kree Magic Kingdom, which ministerial families support your Lota royal family, and which families support the Los family. After they understand the situation, they will formulate a practical plan."
After Lin Qianqian finished speaking, Wen Mingyue added, "Don't worry, everyone on our side is very strong, especially Qianqian and Yunze. They shouldn't have any rivals in this world. Besides, our store has brought many weapons from other worlds; some of them can blow up an entire city with a single shot."
Oh, I see!
Belle couldn't help but swallow hard. A single shot could destroy a city, its power comparable to the strongest forbidden spell!
"Also, after you help your brother reclaim the Kree Magic Kingdom and settle him in, he will be the master of the kingdom. Since we made him the master of the kingdom, we have an obligation to teach him to be a good king and a wise ruler."
Luo Zexuan, true to form, revealed his purpose, which was also the content of the mission: to cultivate a wise ruler for the magical plane.
"Yes, Belle, we have a complete system for cultivating wise rulers, as well as many strategies for governing the country. Please trust our capabilities."
Wen Mingyue would occasionally chime in from the side.
Belle's mind was a bit of a mess, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only nod haphazardly.
“Your younger brother has been groomed as the heir since childhood and has the potential to be a wise ruler. Coupled with the advanced ideas we have imparted to him, he will definitely become a wise ruler and be remembered in history.”
As Chu Zhou spoke, he handed over the tablet in his hand.
Belle took it blankly, but she couldn't understand the words on it.
"Oh, take this with you first."
Lin Qianqian handed over a multi-race translator, which Jiang Shuran took and put on Belle's ear.
Belle instantly understood the content on the tablet.
The text above reads: "On how a wise ruler is made," "How to debate with a group of Confucian scholars in the court," "The Biography of Emperor XX," "On Governing the Country," "Land Tax Law," and so on.
There's also a plan to cultivate a wise ruler, A: wake up at 6 a.m., do half an hour of morning exercise, study xx for one hour, attend xx class for one hour...
It was densely packed with files, including directories, compressed files, and videos.
Belle felt a little dizzy; it was even harder than reading magic books.
Regardless of whether these claims are true or not, at the very least, her new colleague is genuinely caring towards the siblings.
"Thank you on behalf of my brother!"
Thus, without his knowledge, Baker quietly began his miserable study life, working from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
"And this too, the employee welcome package, which every new employee receives."
Lin Qianqian handed over a small bag, which Belle took and examined. She realized that the small bag was not ordinary.
She used her spiritual power to investigate and looked up in surprise: "This is a spatial item?"
"Yes, it's called a storage bag. It's a storage magic treasure from the cultivation world. It can't store living things, only inanimate objects. I've put some things in there. Take a look. Keep what you can use, and return what you can't. I'll exchange it for something usable."
"Thank you, boss!"
This was a windfall for her, who was currently penniless.
"Now that you've accepted the welcome gift, you should stick with us as we travel through different dimensions, stay in the store, and don't have any thoughts of quitting."
Lin Qianqian emphasized the words "don't want" and "resign".
"Okay, boss!"
"very good!"
Lin Qianqian was satisfied; the mission of taking Belle away was now complete.
