Chapter 23: The first day of serving the queen
"Uh-huh?"
When the Queen of Evernight heard Angelina repeated calls, she finally realized that she was distracted.
She used magic to retrace a short scene just now, confirmed what she just reported, and said calmly:
"Just keep to your words!"
This pretending that nothing happened was too obvious.
Others in the cabinet also noticed that Her Majesty the Queen was a little out of sorts today.
But they didn't realize that the queen was peeking at Dio.
Even if they found out, they wouldn't think about relationship between men and women.
After all, the matter of the Queen marriage has been discussed since she took the throne.
The stability of the empire, the continuity of the blood of the emperor, and nurturing qualified heirs to be the crown prince are all important.
It's just that the Queen of Eternal Night is too strong, and she had arranged for her to meet young talents and peerless handsome men before, but they didn't arouse her interest.
Besides even a powerful magician can't live forever. Is it so easy to extend your lifespan for three to five hundred years?
But if the Queen wanted, she could transform into a Lich Queen.
So slowly, this major event was selectively ignored by everyone.
In the agenda at the beginning of each year, the secretary-general would prepare a marriage for the queen, and then the queen would veto it; this has become a regular occurrence.
Everyone believed that the queen had no interest in relationship between men and women, and only liked wars and magic.
But Angelina is the queen's best friend, after all, they grew up together.
She knew that the Queen once had a longing for a beautiful love.
It's just that her strength is getting stronger and stronger. Looking at the mainland, there is no one of the opposite sex that she likes.
Although this Dio Brando is only a high-level magician, he is appreciated by the queen, it can be seen that the relationship between the two people... is not ordinary.
It is admirable for Dio to be able to write the tenth volume of the history of the empire under pressure and make the historical truth public.
When the Goddess of War Apostle said, it is only a publicity caliber to the outside world.
You can hide it from anyone, but you can't hide it from the right minister who can freely intervene in the defense of the imperial capital.
The queen had become hardheaded.
But in the end, it was Dio who persuaded the queen.
This is unprecedented!
Angelina believes that by reasoning alone, it is impossible to convince the Queen of Eternal Night, who believes that a biggest fist is the truth.
So there must be some element of beauty in this.
Angelina writes it down on the memo.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she hopes that Dio will become the empire's prince.
And when he becomes a prince, I have to ask him to help me persuade Her Majesty to lower on fighting more wars and death of people!
Roger didn't know that his sister was taking it down on the memo, intending to push her younger brother into the embrace of the queen.
If he had known, he would be enraged.
If Angelina hadn't arranged for him to mine coal, would he have gone to the Great Library and gotten involved in the crap work of editing the History of the Empire and be unable to escape?
The good news at this moment is that the long and boring cabinet meeting is finally over.
Had the meeting continued, he would have fallen asleep.
It's not easy to be an empress. Every day when you open your eyes, you have to face a lot of troubles.
"My minister, please retire."
Fourteen cabinet ministers filed out.
The Minister of History who was ranked last naturally walked out last too.
The work of editing the History of the Empire has been completed. Afterward, he can became an idle civil servant drinking tea and reading newspapers.
With his understanding of the system deepening, Roger felt that even if he could not get rid of his identity as Dio, he could still find new methods of loafing around. Also, he could find new ways to regain the system's reward.
Loafing around in the face of difficulties, in an environment where you cannot lie flat, creating opportunities to lie flat is the true nature of a man!
Just when he was about to practice the true loaf around, the Queen of Eternal Night said lightly:
"Lord Dio please wait."
"What?"
Roger stiffened and turned around in confusion.
"Have you forgotten that the Minister of History needs to record my words and deeds to compile the eleventh volume of the History of the Empire?"
"This... the minister obeys."
Roger felt helpless.
He was busy printing every day these days, and he forgot that the Queen had assigned him an official position like "History of Living Orders".
Of course, he didn't want to.
Serving the queen directly, how can I afford to loaf around?
But it was his first day in office, it is not easy to find an excuse to slip away.
When Angelina listened to the conversation between Her Majesty and Lord Brando, a clear smile appeared on her face.
Sure enough, Her Majesty's treatment of this Lord Brando is out of the ordinary!
Although it's a bit stupid to use this kind of trick to forcibly hold a person of the opposite sex by your side...
She could hear Lord Brando's resistance, and he was reluctant to stay in the palace like this.
It's said that "Accompanying is the confession of love"!
Her Majesty is so active, maybe she will be able to see Prince Dio Shelley soon?
Well, Angelina unknowingly changed Dio's last name.
Women chase men so easily, do you understand?
I must find the right opportunity to play assistant, and get Prince Dio a good deal.
Hey, that naive Margaret would never have imagined these things!
With my help, Dio is such a lucky guy!
And when he becomes a prince, I have to ask him to help me persuade Her Majesty to lower on fighting more wars and death of people!
On this day, the Minister of History, Dio Brando, accompanied the Queen of Eternal Night for the first time, recording the busy day of the Queen of the Empire up close.
In the morning there's a cabinet meeting.
Afterward, the Queen received a governor who had entered the palace to report his duties and had a banquet in the palace.
In the afternoon, the Queen went to the outskirts of the capital to visit a newly opened highway and reward the construction workers.
Then the Queen went to the Mage Tower of the Secret Law Society to review the progress of several magic experiments.
the Queen took the time to meet with several members of parliament and dismissed their rude demands on behalf of his family.
Dinner was at the house of a long-standing marquis.
The eldest son of the Marquis admired the Queen, and Roger listened to the speech for two hours.
[Compared to her someone like him is just a lowly worm. 】
The queen lost her appetite when she heard it.
After returning to the palace, the Eternal Night Empress did a little refreshment and then began to review the memorial.
Roger was allowed to read the memorials for himself.
The Queen's abacus fiddled with crackles.
She was going to pay for Roger's stand-up comedy while he was reading the memorial...
Ah, no, it's a good policy to govern the country!
But she was disappointed.
She took Roger by her side all day and was not very satisfied with his performance.
In her impression, Roger was madly complaining, laughing without fear, not afraid of everybody, and couldn't come up with a lot of crazy ideas.
But today, apart from some routine lines such as "the queen is very strong", "the queen is very busy", and "the queen's back is beautiful", there is nothing that makes her stand out.
Most of the time, his head is empty, and his only thought is [so sleepy].
At noon, she asked the royal chef to carefully prepare a big meal, and the response she got was "I miss the chef in the house".
Roger's inner reaction was, [Is this it?].
In the evening, when I went to visit the marquis's luxurious banquet, Roger kept sneering at [This man was so bad].
Now holding the memorial, thinking that he is looking at the memorial seriously, he is even more unscrupulous [so sleepy].
It's like yawning is contagious, the queen is so sleepy because of Roger's appearance!
She was very angry and very upset!
When following me, you're either sleepy or tired. Shouldn't you be strong and perform well?
This bastard used to fool around, and something useful always popped up in your heart.
Why is it that the style is different now that you have finished the history book?
Wait, revise the history book...
Empress Eternal Night's expression suddenly softened a lot.
From the beginning of his tenure as a historian, Roger has been working hard for nearly a month.
The history of the empire is indeed very effective, especially the tenth volume, which is very good.
As a result, the energy consumption was too great, so he was squeezed?
The queen showed a disdainful smile.
That's it?
At such a young age, is your physical strength so weak?
I Accidentally broke the game.
She chuckled lightly, and in the candlelight, her voice was as seductive and alluring as a demon's :
"Lord Dio, do you want to take a vacation?"
