Chapter 46 Annie Comes to Borrow Her Brother-in-Law
Scarlett just left.
Catherine's cough immediately echoed throughout the side hall.
It hasn't subsided for a long time.
In recent years.
Catherine lived alone in a side hall.
Neither the Janissaries nor the Household Guards were allowed to set foot there.
She was served only by her maid Katrina.
So even if there is a huge noise, no one will know about it.
Katrina brought medicine and water and looked at Catherine with concern.
After Catherine finished taking the medicine and drinking the water, she asked, "Your Majesty, is it too early to allow His Highness to enter the Imperial Court?"
Catherine put down the water glass, shook her head, and said, "It's getting late. My illness will flare up in the next two years. If I don't train Scarlett, I'm afraid she will be isolated and helpless."
"But Your Majesty..."
Katrina hesitated and said, "Her Highness has an extreme personality and erratic behavior, and her reputation among the people is not high. As soon as she entered the Imperial Court, she was given such a high status. I am afraid that others in the Imperial Court would be dissatisfied, which would be counterproductive."
"No problem."
Catherine said firmly, "She is my daughter, my only daughter. The future of the empire will definitely be hers. If they refuse to obey, then their titles will be stripped, their positions will be dismissed, and they will be expelled from the imperial court."
"His Majesty!"
Katrina's voice rose in anxiety, and she knelt on the ground, pleading miserably, "No! The Imperial Court is a complex place, with various factions competing against each other. If the constraints are lost, it will threaten the imperial power! Your Highness will be unable to move forward and become a puppet. Your Majesty, you must reconsider and not act rashly!"
Catherine looked at Katrina, took a few deep breaths, blinked frequently, and her thoughts were confused and mixed, and it took a long time for her to calm down.
She helped Katrina up and said, "I was confused."
Catherine took a deep breath, speaking to Katrina as well as to herself.
"Scarlett is going to participate in the resource competition next month, so we'll make a decision after she gets a ranking. That way, it will be legitimate."
After calming down, Catherine looked at Katrina, held her hand tightly, and said solemnly: "Call Riley to the Imperial Court."
…
…
Scarlett was still in shock until she returned to Herda Palace.
She went to the imperial court and got a promotion?
This is a great thing.
Duke is the highest title in the Oranrosa Empire. The Duke owns the territory and can exercise political and military power within the territory.
Equivalent to the ancient vassal kings.
Although Scarlett is a princess, she has never had a position.
Now that he has become a duke, not only does he have a high salary, but he can also build up his own power.
Scarlett was absolutely delighted.
This means that she is getting further and further away from the fate of exile!
Scarlett looked up Melios on Starnet.
It is one of the most important satellite planets of the Oranrosa Empire. It is located in the south, connected to multiple planets, has developed trade and a wealthy population.
The most important thing is that the ecological environment here is very good. It is one of the few places in Oranrosa with less environmental pollution.
Half of the empire's only twenty plant breeding centers are located here.
Scarlett checked Melios's tax revenue in recent years.
An average of five trillion star coins.
80% was handed over to the imperial court.
The remaining 20% is all hers.
Oh my god.
Get rich!
She's going to be killed by the money!
…
…
To officially become the Duke of Melios, Scarlett still has to go through two steps.
The enthronement ceremony and the announcement to the stars.
Scarlett thought the subsequent procedures would be quick, and even secretly started packing her luggage in Huldah Palace to prepare for moving.
First day.
Nothing happened.
the next day.
Nothing happened.
Day 3.
Something happened.
But it’s not about the enthronement ceremony.
Instead, it was Princess Anne who came to visit.
Scarlett is now completely focused on becoming a duke and making a fortune, and doesn't really want to see Anne.
But they were already at the door.
She couldn't refuse.
Moreover, she felt that her mind was now highly focused on the matter of "The Duke". She was too obsessed and needed to distract herself.
Otherwise it is easy to neglect other things.
Anne came in carrying a beautiful fruit basket. When she saw Scarlett, she immediately smiled, narrowed her eyes, and called out sweetly, "Cousin."
His whole body exudes the aura of "I'm here to serve you".
Scarlett took a sip of milk tea and glanced at the fruit basket in Anne's hand.
Judging from the packaging, it’s no less than 10,000 star coins.
Judging from the fruits inside, it’s worth no less than 50,000 star coins.
It seems.
Anne, this is a big deal.
Annie put down the fruit basket and feigned a delighted "Ah!" before speaking in a strangled voice, "Cousin, you've reached level D! Congratulations! It looks like we'll be able to go to the Lost Continent together to level up soon."
Except for the low-level areas in the Lost Continent, the leveling sections in other areas are interconnected, and the rules have changed, and time limits will appear.
Meaning.
If two or more teams enter the same leveling area, they will run into each other and collect keys together.
But the number of keys is specific within a certain period of time.
So there will be a situation of mutual snatching.
The leveling together that Annie mentioned usually doesn't exist.
Time is limited.
KEYS LIMITED.
Unless you are very good friends, conflicts are bound to occur.
Scarlett put down her milk tea, smiled at Annie, and said, "Then I'll borrow your good words. I will definitely work hard to level up. It will be fun for us sisters to level up together."
After saying this, Scarlett felt a little sour in her teeth.
Look at Anne again.
He also had a choked expression.
It seems.
Neither of them was used to this superficial greeting, which was not as cordial as a direct quarrel.
Annie laughed a few times.
Fake smile girl.
Smiling is uglier than crying.
As she laughed, she couldn't hold it in any longer and decided to skip this step and spoke directly: "Cousin, I came here this time to ask you for a favor. I want to borrow your brother-in-law for a while."
She finished speaking.
Scarlett suddenly felt that she could breathe much more easily.
It’s nice not to have to engage in hypocritical small talk.
But borrowing brother-in-law???
What is this operation? ?
Did she hear it wrong? Or did Annie say it wrong?
Scarlett opened her eyes wide and looked at Anne with a slightly dazed expression.
Can this be borrowed?
Anne met her gaze, which was three-quarters bewildered and seven-quarters shocked. She belatedly realized what was going on and quickly waved her hands, saying, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Don't misunderstand me. I just want to borrow a high-level brother-in-law from you to go level up with me in the Lost Continent. Toby's injured and can't come with me. The few beastmen I have left are all good-looking but useless, and they'll have to take care of a child."
"So I want to borrow my brother-in-law's money. Don't worry, I will pay him."
Toby is Anne's first beast husband and also the highest level, S-level.
The average level of Annie's other beast husbands is B, and they don't have any special abilities.
Unable to level up in high-level areas.
You can only ask others to borrow people.
In fact, borrowing a beastman to level up in the Lost Continent is a common practice in StarCraft.
Everyone has different abilities, and the monsters in the Lost Continent are quite chaotic, so your beast husband's defensive skills will be suitable for my team.
My beast husband's attack skills can be the icing on the cake for your team.
So the two hit it off immediately.
Exchange with each other.
Win-win.
After Scarlett understood, she thought it made sense, nodded, and readily agreed: "No problem, who do you want to borrow?"
