Fontaine, a harbor somewhere.

[Madam] As soon as Rosalin stepped onto the dock, her close subordinates hurried over to greet her.

"My Lord, welcome back."

"I wonder if your negotiation with that person went smoothly?"

Rosalin, who was in a good mood, nodded and said.

"Arecino is quite cooperative with the Queen's orders."

"I think the situations of the remaining few are probably similar to that of [Alechino]."

"correct."

Rosalyn suddenly thought of something and glanced at the subordinates beside her.

"You seem to be the child who walked out of the Hearth House, right?"

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this gentleman to ask this question.

However, the subordinate did not deny it and explained everything in detail.

"That's right, Lady Rosalyn."

"I was indeed raised by [The Hearth House]."

"However, the one who raised me was not the current Lord Alechino who is in charge of the Hearth House."

Rosalin patted her subordinate on the shoulder, signaling him not to be nervous.

There was no trace of his usual arrogant tone in his words, but instead he spoke in a calm tone.

"After visiting the remaining executive officers outside and meeting the Queen, I will come to Hearth House again."

"Help your brothers and sisters pick out some gifts. Prepare some extra so I can use them next time I come."

The subordinate was startled for a moment, then immediately replied.

"Yes!"

"Thank you for your generosity towards my brothers and sisters. I promise to choose the most suitable gifts for you."

"Well, back off."

......

------------

Buffati Mansion.

On the sofa in Alecino's office.

Chao Ke rested his head comfortably on his sister's legs, feeling the soft and wonderful touch. He sniffed and seemed to sense a faint fragrance.

After slightly adjusting his sleeping position, Chao Ke straightened his head and looked upward.

Um....

Most of the view is blocked, and only half of the ceiling appears in front of me.

My sister’s size is really generous, probably not much worse than Rosalyn’s.

And Alechino didn't care about Chao Ke's offense, or rather, she had long been accustomed to and acquiesced to Chao Ke's "offense" to this extent when no one was around.

"Sister, you haven't said it yet."

"What did Rosalin talk to you about?"

Alechino pondered in his mind and summarized the conversation.

"On behalf of Zhidong, I have come to investigate your and my work situation."

"Oh?"

He sneered at Ke, but he didn't feel that surprised.

"It seems that those of us who are away from home have not been able to gain the trust of Her Majesty the Queen after all."

"That's understandable. After all, you've only been an executive officer of the Fatui for a short time. Besides, our experiences in getting to the top aren't all that glorious either."

But Alecino shook his head.

"I feel that this may not be what Her Majesty the Queen meant."

"This order is more likely to have been issued by [Rooster] and the group of winter dignitaries."

Chao Ke did not refute and agreed with his sister's guess in his heart.

After all, Chao Ke had never seen the Ice Queen.

On the contrary, I have had a very bad impression of the executive officer [Rooster] after dealing with him several times.

[Rooster] is indeed an excellent mayor.

He runs the Fatui's base camp, Winter, very well, and is very good at using "small costs" to exchange for "huge success".

However, much of this “small price” was borne by the children of Hearth House.

If circumstances permit, Chao Ke and Alechino would be happy to let the old man personally experience what it would feel like to pay this "small price" on an individual basis.

Alechino reached out and placed her hands on both sides of Chao Ke's head, gently pressing Chao Ke's temples with her fingertips.

Chao Ke closed his eyes comfortably, enjoying the service from his sister.

Alechino opened her mouth and continued to speak.

"In addition to the inspection work, Rosalyn also brought me two pieces of news."

"first."

"Winter intends to add a seat for the Fatui executive officer in a few years, probably at the bottom of the executive officers."

"After Rosalin informed me of the news, she also expressed her attitude to me."

"If you want to run for election, Rosalyn will support you in addition to me."

"The reason is probably Executive Officer [Rooster]. He wants to use this election to send people under his control to the top in order to expand his voice among the Executive Officers."

"Like us, Rosalin doesn't have a good impression of the Rooster, so she naturally doesn't want his plan to come to fruition."

"How about it, are you interested in fighting for the position of [Faints' Executive Officer]?"

"No."

Chao Ke expressed his attitude without hesitation.

"I don't have such high aspirations. My current life as an adjutant is good enough."

"I can be with you, my sister, take care of the children in the mansion, and have free time to manage my own restaurant."

"The salary is not much lower than that of an executive, but there is no need to bother with official documents and trivial matters. All I have to do is to 'serve' my dear boss and make her 'satisfied'."

"Oh? Is this what you really think?"

Arecino asked.

"Yeah." Chao Ke nodded decisively.

"Since you don't want to go any further, I respect your idea."

Although from the tone of her voice, Alechino seemed to have a hint of regret for Chao Ke's "lack of ambition".

But Chao Ke could sense it clearly.

After I expressed my true feelings of not wanting to leave, my sister gave me a massage that made me feel more comfortable.

"Tsk tsk tsk, a woman who says one thing and means another."

Sooner or later, I will let you be honest with me, sister.

Chao Ke continued to ask his sister while enjoying a comfortable head massage.

"Sister, didn't [Rosalin] bring two pieces of news? What's the other one?"

"Another thing is..."

"Keep a close eye on the movements of the gods in your country and prepare for the plan to seize the [Heart of God] later."

Chao Ke was stunned. Did they start preparing so soon?

"Da da da!"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the office, and then the office door was knocked.

Chao Ke, who was pushed up from his sister's thigh, frowned and muttered.

"Who is it this time? It can't be Linny again, right?"

Chao Ke opened the door, and standing outside was a figure that Chao Ke did not expect.

"Louise?"

"How did you come?"

Louise walked into the office without even bothering to say hello or chat with anyone. She spoke to Chao Ke, who had a hint of resentment on his face.

"Boss, something big happened in the restaurant!"

"The Goddess Funina has suddenly visited our [Jia Ziwei Restaurant] and has caused a sensation in the restaurant!"

"what?!"

Chao Ke quickly looked at his elder sister beside him.

As expected, Arlecino, who had just finished talking about "monitoring the gods and seizing the [Heart of God]".

at this time...

It seems like I am ready to do something...

Chao Ke quickly patted his sister's shoulder and said.

"Sister, calm down for a moment."
