Amanda refused to join the Skywing Empire Army and instead asked to be an ordinary citizen. The Military Affairs Department agreed to Amanda's request.
Amanda took out all her savings (Dion Empire currency, which was exchanged for Earth Circle currency at the level before the war in the Tianyi Empire), bought a store, opened a dessert shop, and lived an ordinary life with her son.
For her, this is the family happiness she has always dreamed of.
Nadezhda sat at a table inside Amanda's dessert shop, eating strawberry cake dessert and talking to Amanda.
Nadezhda and Amanda are best friends.
Nadezhda looked at the furnishings in the dessert shop. Apart from the front desk clerk and the cashier, the employees in the shop were responsible for delivering meals to the customers' tables. In addition to the Hello control equipment in the kitchen, the pastry chef would be responsible for handling all the details.
Nadezhda knew that her best friend Amanda had always been very interested in desserts, and she even studied it and obtained a diploma as an A-level pastry chef.
"How are you and your child doing lately?"
"Everything is fine. We live the lives of ordinary citizens without worries. Besides, the Tianyi Empire has been established for less than two years, and the living standards are already almost higher than before the war with the Dion Empire. The consumption capacity of the people is also better than before. Many people have even forgotten that we had a war a few years ago. It seems that everyone has come out of their pain." Amanda said with emotion.
Nadezhda nodded and said, "Yes, the people just want to live a good life. His Majesty Emperor Longfei understands this, so he worked hard to improve the country's economy. At that time, many people who missed the previous dynasty organized a national restoration organization, but as the economy improved and the people lived a good life, many members of the organization left and lived an ordinary life. In addition, the relevant authorities also made a series of benefits to encourage those who reported to the reward to actively report these organizations."
"At the beginning, the relevant authorities directly appeased these organizations by using soft means and letting bygones be bygones, asking members to surrender immediately. Even before the time limit, those who were willing to surrender and admit that they were members of the organization could receive a sum of money and a certificate of bygones from the relevant authorities, and could immediately return to work in society. Most organizations were dismantled in this way, and the remaining ones were finally wiped out after the time limit expired."
"Those who came out to surrender and got paid, how much did they get?"
"20,000 Earth Coins."
"This is several months' salary for a worker."
"How is your little boy?"
"Not bad, I'm in junior high school now."
The two continued to chat about some things.
Amanda looked left and right, then asked quietly, "You joined the Emperor's private organization. Have you made any progress in the matter you wanted to investigate?"
"There has been some progress, but it will take at least 10 to 20 years to catch this bastard. That guy has kept his identity and past so secret that he has even eliminated some clues long ago. We have to start from different places."
“I heard that many brothers and sisters can’t get over the tragedy that happened back then.”
“I’m one of those people who can’t let it go.”
"Is Osmane the same as you? Do you both work for the Emperor's private organization?"
"Yes, he is in a different unit from me. I can't tell you what happens next."
"It's okay. I understand."
Miroslav had just returned home from school. He greeted his mother and Nadezhda, then went upstairs to do his homework.
Nadezhda pointed to the corner of her mouth, suggesting that Miroslav had a wound on it.
"I had a fight with a classmate at school a few days ago and broke his bone. I had to apologize to the school and his parents and pay for his child's medical expenses."
"It takes two to tango. There must be some reason that led Miroslav to hit someone."
"The son of a first-class citizen mocked Miroslav as the son of a defeated general and insulted me verbally. He couldn't stand it and beat him severely."
"It proves that he is also a good son who protects his mother."
"I know, so I didn't blame my son. I just advised him to hold his temper. Beating that kind of person would only lower our character."
"If it were me, I would definitely support my son to focus on the key points."
"Then you should marry Osmane as soon as possible and have a baby soon."
Nadezhda just rolled her eyes.
At this time, the store's projection TV channel reported that the archaeological team from the Ou Ya Cross Country and the news team responsible for filming the archaeological excavations would arrive in the Tianyi Empire in a few days.
…
At this time, Long Fei was transforming and upgrading some industrial technologies in preparation for developing stronger Gundams and mechas.
Taoxiang happened to be helping Long Fei deal with some work matters and handed the documents to Long Fei.
After looking at the documents, Long Fei began to assign tasks to each department.
Then Long Fei stretched and twisted his neck, and Taoxiang gave Long Fei a head massage to relieve his tiredness.
Tao Xiang said while massaging: "Hubby, do you still remember the one called Youyou?"
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"Isn't the Duke's Palace in Salamanda the former palace of the Kingdom of Longsog? Youyou used to be a princess, and the palace she lived in is now the Duke's Palace. After Youyou lost everything, she is now working in the Duke's Palace. But she works there mainly because she lost everything and is penniless, and Ruilina deliberately kept her in the Duke's Palace and made her work like a servant."
"Before she was a princess and others served her, but now she has to serve others."
"Hehe." Tao Xiang smiled and continued, "The former princess is now a servant. I also received news that she was bullied by her former maids. The servants in the Duke's Mansion deliberately pushed a lot of work to her. These blows made her depressed."
"I guess those servants bullied her because it was Salamander's wife, Relina, who bullied her. That Youyou really doesn't deserve sympathy. Everything she's going through now is caused by her. At that time, she came to beg Salamander to get back together with her, but she was severely punished by Relina. Now she lives such a miserable life. It's her retribution, and living is more painful than death."
"If she hadn't fallen in love with someone else and abandoned Salamander at that time, even if she lost the title and status of a princess, she would at least still be a duchess now." Taoxiang had a playful and regretful expression on her face.
"This is what they call one wrong step, all wrong steps, causing her to lose everything."
Tao Xiang continued, "By the way, I later heard that this woman Youyou once went to clean her father's room. Suddenly, she screamed and ran out of the room, muttering, 'I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me, father.'"
"It's probably the remaining spiritual power of her father that frightened her."
"I heard that if she was asked to pass through that room, or to go in and clean it, she would become nervous."
"She is suffering alive now."
"Another thing is that on the wedding night of Salamanda and Ruilina, they deliberately arranged for Youyou to keep watch in front of their door. The next day, many staff members deliberately asked Youyou how the night watch went last night and whether the Duke and Duchess were happy with their marriage."
"There were even servants who maliciously asked her how she felt about keeping vigil for her lover, since her lover was getting married and the bride was not her. There were also servants who asked her how she felt about being alone outside, since her former lover was sleeping with another woman in his arms. Was it miserable?"
“I think these people did it on purpose.”
Tao Xiang shrugged: "Let her be trampled upon. She is nothing now, and anyone can climb over her head and bully her."
"I guess there will be other things for her to endure next."
"Now anyone can step on this woman's face."
Then, Tao Xiang changed the subject and said, "Rui Lina is already six months pregnant. Now she has to handle all the work of the Black Rabbit Force and take care of the baby. Can she handle it?"
"Don't worry, most of the work of the female rabbit has been handed over to the deputy, the black rabbit."
…
On April 20, 128th year of the first year of the universe, the archaeological team of the Ou Ya Cross Kingdom came to the Tianyi Empire. In addition to being received by the relevant authorities of the Tianyi Empire, the ambassador of the diplomatic embassy of the Ou Ya Cross Kingdom also personally welcomed them.
In addition to the archaeological team having its own exclusive news media team to follow and film, the relevant departments of the Tianyi Empire also sent relevant teams to follow.
