When the protagonist of the otome game is unintentional strategy [system]

"... Baron Hocia, 45 years old, was framed by a competitor, and his family fell into ruin—he's a bit old, no."

"Maeve Alison, 22 years old, the eldest daughter of a dessert shop owner on Queen Street, recently due to the poor business of the shop, she is raising money everywhere, trying to help her parents tide over the difficulties - filial piety, loyalty is commendable, but personality Too soft, no way."

"Nikchel, 17 years old, an orphan in the Princess Catherine Orphanage, has a gloomy temperament and never wants to communicate with others too much—this child's identity is easy to handle...Let's wait and see."

"Kada Stephens, 11, homeless..."

There is one document after another on the table, carefully classified into three piles, and piled up to form a hill, which makes people dizzy when they look at it.

On the seat behind the case, the silver-haired girl was holding a quill pen, frowning slightly, muttering something softly, and was concentrating on writing and drawing on the materials, screening them at an alarming speed.

She is selecting a "contact person" who will be sent to the Demon Race.

In the huge study room, there were only the rubbing sound of pages turning and the "scratch" sound of pen nib writing, mixed with Gloria's occasional murmurs, the atmosphere seemed exceptionally quiet and serious.

Due to the need for the other party to go to the Demon Race to "undercover", the candidate for this contact person must meet at least three conditions.

One, loyalty; two, vigilance; three, easy to control.

The Celentdis family has basically conducted the first round of screening of all the residents of the royal city, and the information submitted to Gloria's desk is either a down-and-out person who encounters difficulties and urgently needs help, or has no father or mother and a weak family background. Poor people - this group of people is the most suitable to be used as a target, and is the easiest to be dominated by Gloria as the dominant party.

They only need to give some money or better living conditions, and they will actively or passively give up their hearts to the Celentis family, become a marionette, and search for all the information they need on the edge of the continent...

Also, because of this, this candidate must make a decision more carefully.

Gloria worked on it for two days, barely sleeping.The Goddess of Deceit has already complained about her ineffective handling of affairs this time. If she continues to delay, I'm afraid it will attract more dissatisfaction from the other party.

After marking the homeless person's information with a red tick representing "to be determined", the silver-haired girl stopped writing, moved her stiff fingers that felt a little sore for a while, and sighed softly.

As the "God Envoy" of this generation, Gloria is confident that no one knows better than her the current search for the source of holy power.

The mopping area centered on Wangcheng has been spread out, and there are only two areas that have not been carefully investigated, and that is the edge of the mainland and the small towns on the west coast.

Gloria lowered her eyes, and her dark blue eyes seemed to hide a handful of deep sea water. It seemed calm, but in fact it was undercurrents.

This time, the purpose of sending the undercover agent to the Demon Race is to search for the source of the holy power at the edge of the continent...

Once nothing is found, the next location will be the turn of the west coast.

She didn't want Posidoro to discover Seaside Town—because she knew very well that that was where the real source of the holy power was.

"Boom, boom."

The sound of two gentle knocks brought Gloria's thoughts back to reality.She froze for a moment, blinked her eyes, her slender silver eyelashes cast a small shadow on her cheeks, making her already fair skin slightly transparent as if it was shining.

"Please come in." She moistened her throat with the herbal tea in hand, and said calmly in a raised voice.

The door slammed open.

A maid stood outside the door, bowed respectfully to the Duke's daughter, and said softly: "Master Gloria, Mr. Butler asked me to come and tell you that there is a distinguished guest."

"Honored guest?" Gloria was stunned, then frowned subconsciously, "Could it be His Highness Starangui again...?"

"You are too busy, my lord," the maid shook her head and reminded, "Miss Amirim has already submitted a call letter a few days ago, and she agreed to visit today... Mr. Butler just saw that you have not shown up. That's why I was sent here to ask, when are you planning to go to the reception hall?"

Gloria was startled, frowned and thought for a while, then sighed deeply: "I've been so tired recently that I even forgot about this."

The maid said worriedly: "Your Excellency, you should take a good rest. If you are exhausted, Miss Amirim will be worried."

Hearing her mention of Kolusta, the silver-haired girl's expression suddenly softened a lot, and she didn't look as exhausted as before.

"You don't need to go to the living room, just bring her here." Gloria ordered, "I'll bring some refreshments later and make a few more puddings; don't make the black tea too thick, put some honey in it, Ruth I like sweet ones."

"Yes, my lord." Hearing this somewhat tedious and detailed request, the maid couldn't help but smile, bowed respectfully to answer, then turned and left.

After a while, the door of the study was knocked again. Gloria went to the door and opened it herself. Before she had time to show a smile, a familiar figure pounced on her face and hugged her with lightning speed. her neck.

"Afternoon-afternoon!" Kolusta leaned close to her ear, and said with a long smile, "I'm here to play with you, Miss Le Kesi!"

Gloria chuckled lightly, stretched out her hand and patted the top of the other's soft hair, and said warmly, "Good afternoon, Ruth, welcome."

Probably because the housekeeper who was leading the way was still at the side, Kolusta let go of her hand and regained her footing after a little hug. After her girlfriend, whom she had been thinking about day and night, made an invitation gesture, her eyes lit up without any hesitation. He lifted his feet politely and jumped into the study room where the other party rarely let people set foot.

The butler took the refreshments from the following maids and properly placed them on the small table for entertaining guests.

Gloria waved her hand slightly, and did not leave any servants to accompany her. She sat on a chair by the small table and made a cup of black tea for Kolusta, and greeted softly: "Come here and rest for a while, don't you feel tired after riding the carriage all the way?"

Kolusta was curiously browsing the collection of books on the bookshelf. Hearing this, he turned his head and smiled and said, "The distance is not far, so what's so tiring about that journey? But you - it looks like you haven't slept in days Same, with such a bad complexion, what have you been up to lately?"

As she spoke, she walked to Gloria's side, stretched out a finger to poke the light blue eyes of the other party worriedly, and said with concern: "Look, there are dark circles under the eyes."

Gloria smiled, raised her hand to hold her fingertips, and said lightly: "There are some matters that need to be dealt with urgently. I have been sleeping late these two days."

After she finished speaking, she gently pinched Kolusta's face as if she were paying respects, and shook her head with a smile, "I heard from Mrs. Isabella that you are obviously busy with family affairs these days, and you actually Do you still want to teach me?"

"So, I'm already so busy, how can I be willing to let you work so hard?" Kolusta said confidently, "Besides... Amirim's business is just to get through this period of time , but you lose your head when you get busy—don’t try to fool me, Mr. Housekeeper has already confessed to me! He said that what you are doing is cumbersome and important, and you may not even be able to complete the first stage in three to five days. It can't be done—it's too much work!"

What did the housekeeper say?

Gloria raised her eyebrows and teased, "You're not engaged yet, and you're already acting like a hostess so consciously?"

Kolusta glared at her, and said angrily: "The butler is also worried, and wants me to help you persuade you—don't change the subject, Miss Le Kesi, I'm here to supervise you to relax today!"

"Okay, it's all up to you," Gloria shook her head helplessly, put a piece of cookie into the other person's mouth, and asked cooperatively, "How do you plan to let me relax, Teacher Ruth?"

The brown-haired girl was taken aback for a moment, blinked her eyes as if she was being questioned, and actually began to think hard.

Gloria didn't urge her at all, she just smiled and looked at the other party for a while, and fed them a few biscuits or pastries from time to time, taking care of one person very contentedly.

"..."

After a long while, when Kolusta came back to her senses, she was shocked to find that she had already eaten more than half of the refreshments under Gloria's caring care.

"...I'm going to get fat," she pouted, and emphasized to Gloria seriously, "In order to be able to wear a beautiful enough dress when I get engaged, I decided to start losing weight gradually from now on!"

"You will lose strength when you are full," Gloria said to herself, scooped up another spoonful of pudding that looked very attractive, and brought it to Kolusta's mouth, tempting, "Taste a little more, They are all specially made for you... If you think they are delicious, I will pack some of them for you and take them home, and ask your pastry chef to cook them for you in the same way."

Kolusta stared at her for a while, and finally opened her mouth in frustration, aww, and swallowed the spoonful of pudding with a strong cheese aroma.

"...Delicious," she raised her eyebrows, and also rolled a small piece of puff to Gloria's lips, smiling, "you should try it too."

The soft skin of the puff is less sweet, but the cream wrapped in it is so mellow that every taste bud is expressing emotion. Gloria opened her mouth and bit it in her mouth, as if eating a small piece Like a cloud, the sweet milk flavor bursts suddenly, soft and full.

In the process of being fed a mouthful of dessert by the other party, the tip of Gloria's tongue seemed to brush Klusta's finger that was twisting the skin intentionally or unintentionally, until he licked the latter slightly itchy, and her cheeks were also bright red. He hooked his fingertips involuntarily, but instead spread the cream from the silver-haired girl's lips onto the knuckles on the back of her hand.

"I'm so white," Kolusta coughed in disguise, and muttered to the back of her hand, "whiter than cream."

Gloria chuckled, and while wiping off the stains for herself and herself with paper, she asked with interest, "Which books were you reading just now, and you read them so engrossed?"

""Introduction to Herbal Medicine", "Encyclopedia of Potion Materials", "Why Water Magicians Have the Opportunity to Become Successor Healers for Light Magicians"." Kolusta replied, "You have a lot of practical books here , and most of them I've never seen before."

"After the Royal Library was built, books gradually became a common reward item for the royal family—especially practical bibliographies, because they often have a long history, high value, and the most useful, so they are often used by successive officials. The king listed it as one of the best gifts of 'the most expressive love complex'."

The silver-haired girl slowly explained: "The Amirim family should have many books of the same type... After all, when the Duke was alive, the importance of the Amirim family to the royal family was not much behind that of Celentdis. .”

"Of course, I believe that I will not continue to fall behind in the future." Gloria narrowed her eyes and smiled, and said softly, "Because you will become the next Duke of this family, and this is the biggest turning point."

Kolusta, who was praised so much by her: "..."

The latter recalled that he almost only relied on a systematic and salty fish-like work attitude, and said rather guiltyly: "It's not like that—"

"Do not."

Gloria interrupted her with a smile, and whispered: "Because in my heart, you are the best and most perfect one."

She said firmly: "No matter how long it takes, no one can surpass it."
