Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

Delphis walked into the bedroom, did not close the door, but went straight to the desk and sat down, opened the book.

At ten thirty, An Nuo will arrive soon.

Looking at the magic spell marked in black and yellow on the book, Delphis frowned, tried to calm down, and read word by word.

There is no moon tonight, and there are only a few stars.

The fingertips landed on the smooth parchment, and the light from the oil lamp cast long and thin shadows on the paper. Delphis read the book for half a minute, then raised her head to glance at the clock, and so on, until the hour hand fell to eleven. .

The right eyelid has been twitching since she sat down. Delphis closed her eyes and used her ears to feel the surroundings. Except for the subtle sound of the Rhine drill box, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.

There is no sound of footsteps...Annuo hasn't left yet...

But it shouldn't be quiet at all...

A flash of uneasiness flashed in her heart, Delphis forced herself to read two more lines of incantations, then stood up and walked to the door.

The room belonging to An Nuo was not lit, and the firelight in the corridor slightly dispelled the darkness at the door, and also reflected the small piece of gray-brown floor tiles.

Seeing this, Delphi's heart trembled suddenly, and a strong chill filled her entire chest.

no one there...

Roots seemed to take root under her feet, but she couldn't move her legs when she wanted to. Delphis stared at the floor tiles for a long time, and it took a long time before she regained control of her body, and turned her head to look at the room.

The bedroom was dark, and the dim starlight could not illuminate the panorama at all. Delphis opened her legs and walked into the room gently. A slight chill spread over the skirt, gradually infecting the girl's body like night.

Lighting the wick with the most basic flame magic, with the help of the dim light, Delphis looked around and found that the whole room was empty except her.

Annuo is not here.

A cold thought rushed into Delphis's mind, she took a deep breath, felt the violent heartbeat in her chest, and walked slowly to the desk.

An Nuo's usual writing quill was placed in the pen holder, and the ink bottle was tightly corked with a cork without leaving any gaps. The yellowed parchment was neatly arranged in a stack and placed next to the pen holder.

Delphis reached out to touch the quill, the slender barrel was not warm at all, and it felt slightly cold between her fingers.

The silent corridor, the room with no lights on, the chilly quill, everything reminded Delphis of a certain reality before her eyes.

An Nuo didn't show up as expected today, and this was the second time she disappeared in several months.

Holding the pen holder tightly, Delphisi pursed her lips a few times, vaguely guessing a possibility she didn't want to admit.

Annuo...wouldn't he come here again...

Sitting on the chair that women would sit on every night when writing, Delphis could not feel any warmth through a layer of silk, and the pure wooden chair was as cold as her heart at the moment.

It was her indifference last night that hurt An Nuo, that's why the other party didn't want to see her again.

Sitting silently in the seat, Delphis subconsciously tightened her legs, and the tip of the quill pen touched the table, making a sound that was not ear-piercing.

Anuo is gone, and will never appear in front of her again.

This is not exactly the ending she wanted.

Her fingers were clenched white, her heart was so suppressed that she could hardly breathe, Delphis narrowed her eyes, and at the same time swallowed her throat invisibly.

As time goes by, she will gradually forget about An Nuo, and forget that such a gentle sister once enlightened her at a certain moment.

The disappearance of the other party can just speed up the forgetting process.

But...why is she so uncomfortable...

Lighting the oil lamp on the desk, the room was a little brighter than before. Delphis looked at the parchment on the desk, and after a while she turned her eyes to the glove box on the ground.

After hesitating for a moment, Delphis bent down and opened the metal buckle. In the glove box was the cauldron they used to eat hot pot, and three pairs of matching chopsticks.

Delphis took out the chopsticks and made a few gestures between her fingers, and the scene when An Nuo taught her to use this long tableware suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

The woman patiently covered the back of her hand with her palm, and the other hand was not empty, and offered to help her adjust her chopsticks holding posture...

In the next second, Annuo and Elena overlapped in the memory, and Delphi's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly tightened, and the two ends of the wooden bar collided with each other, making a clear sound.

An Nuo is just a phantom, the real one is always Elena.

After a while, Delphis put the chopsticks back into the glove box, closed the metal buckle, and restored everything to the unopened state.

Turning off the lights, standing at the door for a long time to look at, Delphis returned to the bedroom, closed the door, and gently lay down on the bed.

Burying her head into the pillow, Qiong sniffed lightly with her nose. The fragrance that belonged to Eileen on the pillow material could hardly be smelled now, only the faint scent of clean grass remained.

Just like An Nuo's taste, time will take away everything and leave nothing behind.

Stepping on the bed with her soft soles, Delphis covered her eyes with her arms, trying to slow down her heartbeat.

"As long as Delphis is willing, I will always be by your side."

At this moment, she suddenly understood why An Nuo had added these inexplicable prefixes to her at the time.

"Annuo..." Delphis muttered to herself.

"You really don't want me?"

She regretted why she pushed him away so heartlessly.

What if, what if Elena didn't lie to her.

Even if it's just a small possibility.

The longing for love grew in her heart like weeds, Delphis closed her eyes, opened her small mouth slightly, and helped her breathing through her unsmooth nose.

She thought of the warm hug exuding the smell of citrus and mint before going to bed every day, the soft touch of two pink lips printed on her forehead, and the gentle and peaceful voice of a woman when she spoke.

As early as when she didn't know when, she was used to lying in the same bed with An Nuo every night, feeling the temperature from the latter's body, and falling asleep listening to the other's soft whispers.

Whether it was the day before yesterday or last night, Delphis couldn't get a good night's sleep. This habit of holding something to sleep peacefully seems to have been deeply rooted in her bones, and she can't change it at all.

Biting her teeth so that her lips were about to bleed, Delphis sucked her nose hard, trying to relax her body.

Annuo... no, what is Elena doing now...

Would she not be able to sleep alone like herself?

Unlike Delphis who was tossing and turning and having trouble falling asleep, Eileen was lying on the soft bed at this moment, smelling the low-key and alluring sweet body fragrance of the earl's sister, her spirit gradually relaxed.

Just two or three seconds into the bed, Carlotta turned sideways very naturally, facing Elena.

Feeling that the calf under the skirt was tightly pressed by a pair of soft and slippery cold jade, Eileen lowered her eyes subconsciously, and her eyes just fell on the other's delicate and lovely collarbone. A small half of Carlotta's fair skin was exposed from the opening of the nightdress Come on, exuding a jade-like whiteness under the moonlight.

Also sharing the same bed, Carlotta gave Elena a completely different feeling from the time she was with Delphis. The point is not the difference in body size between the two parties, but more on the spiritual level.

When facing Delphis, Elena is the older sister who needs to take care of her at all times, but when it comes to Carlotta, she has become a much-loved junior.

The change in the status of caring and being cared for is destined to have two completely different moods around Carlotta and Delphis.

Noticing that Elena's gaze was fixed on her chest for a long time without moving away, Carlota blinked, reached out and picked up a strand of silver hair hanging between the beds, and gently pinned it behind Elena's ear.

"Little Irene, are you satisfied with today's dinner?"

Elena came back to her senses after hearing the words, looked at the woman's moist eyes with tiny gleam, and replied softly.

"Well, the chef at Sister Carlota's side is very good at cooking, especially the fried steak with rosemary and garlic on the way. It tastes amazing."

Perhaps because she knew in advance that she would stay for dinner, Elena didn't see any seafood-related dishes on the table, and she couldn't help but sigh Carlotta's care.

When getting along with this elegant and mature earl sister, she really doesn't have to worry about anything.

Receiving Elena's compliment, Carlotta smiled, put her arms in the gap between the two sheets, and whispered softly.

"If little Irene likes to eat, you can come back when you have time."

This is a newly learned dish by the chef, but I didn't expect the effect to be good.

Knowing that Carlota was beating around the bush and wanting her to visit more often, the corners of Elena's lips raised slightly, and her cheek leaned towards Carlota's side actively. The moonlight falling on the girl's head seemed to illuminate the smooth long hair. A layer of flowing bright silver.

"Okay, I will try more when I am free."

"By the way, when Sister Carlotta comes back from Lorraine, you can go to the palace to find me at any time. Then I will prepare a table of dinner for Sister Carlotta myself."

Carlotta had eaten the dishes made by Elena, and she also recognized her cooking skills.

"Then I will trouble little Irene~" the woman said with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to that dinner."

Not only because it was done by Elena herself, but also because the other party has such a heart.

The aunt and nephew lay on the bed chatting for a while, and the distance between them shrunk unknowingly. At some point, Carlotta put her hand on Elena's nightgown around her waist, and the latter also put her head close to the woman's smooth and round body. of fragrant shoulders.

"Little Irene..."

Feeling the temperature in his arms, Carlota paused and spoke suddenly.

"Are you still thinking about Delphis?"

As soon as the words were finished, Eileen fluttered her eyelashes a few times, and the slender eyelashes slid across Carlotta's skin like a soft brush.

After a while, the girl replied, "How did Sister Carlotta find out?"

"You've been restless since dinner..." Carlota raised her hand and rubbed Elena's head, her tone soft.

"When taking a walk, little Irene would also be dazed from time to time. I almost wondered if my charm was really that low. I didn't even care about letting the younger generation chat with me for a while."

"But if you think about it carefully, you should be worried about Delphis."

After all, according to Elena's description, after using the identity of An Nuo to establish a sister relationship with Delphis, she has never been absent every night.

I didn't go that night suddenly, and I don't know how the blonde loli in the castle will react.

After finishing speaking, Carlotta lowered her head, her gaze fell on Elena gently.

"Little Irene, you are very important to me, you can tell me directly if you have anything, don't hold it in your heart."

"What do you think about Delphis?"

She wouldn't mind being a confidant big sister if she could.

After hearing Carlotta's speech, Elena didn't speak out immediately, but remained silent for a while. The former didn't rush her, but just hugged her quietly, using physical contact to give support within her capacity.

"Sister Carlotta..." After two or three minutes, Elena said in a low tone.

"As I said before, the main reason why I chose to invest in Delphis is that my two elder brothers do not have the ability and courage to become emperors."

"Tadr is self-willed, disregarding human life, and Andre is tyrannical, selfish and short-sighted. Any one of them will be a disaster for the people of the empire, and it will seriously affect my current life."

Tadel is a lecherous brat who has harmed many beautiful girls. It is impossible for him to leave the most dazzling gem beside him without doing anything. Andre had a estrangement with Elena when she was standing with the eldest prince. The latter are not good stubbles to get along with.

"Compared to the two princes, Delphis is still young and has the potential to become a qualified emperor, and I also got a general idea of ​​what kind of person she is through my contact with her."

"Delphis is just a little girl who lacks love and care. She is very malleable. If she is guided, she may not be incapable of taking up that position in the future."

The last time I talked about this topic with Carlota, Elena didn't mention that she may support Delphis just to make her a puppet emperor and become the real regent herself, but Carlota can Becoming the Earl of the Empire naturally has two sides in politics. Without Elena needing to say more, she can roughly guess her niece's true purpose.

Whether it is winning the support of the Bulstrode family or vigorously developing newspapers and periodicals, Elena's doing all of this can be regarded as accumulating political capital in advance for Delphis' accession to the throne, and it can also be said to restrain the power in the latter's hands.

"In other words, what little Irene really wants to do now is to train Delphi?" Carlota asked softly.

Elena nodded upon hearing that, "I really think so."

"Father treats me well, and I should consider issues from the perspective of the royal family. Delphis has the blood of the royal family flowing in her body. If she becomes the emperor, it does not mean that the empire has been handed over to me, a princess with a foreign surname. hand."

"Besides, after getting along with each other for this period of time..." Elena paused and continued to add.

"I kind of like Delphis."

This blond loli is not bad by nature, she just encountered too many misfortunes that should not belong to her.

As long as you give the other party a little care and love, Delphis will respond to her with a more enthusiastic attitude, and this alone is enough to win Elena's favor.

"..."

"I probably understand what little Irene means."

Carlota's tone was gentle, and the fragrant wind she exhaled lightly hit Eileen's hair, and she was about to comfort her, saying that Delphis was just having a quarrel with her temporarily and would be fine soon, but Eileen was the first to do so. Open your mouth one step at a time.

"Sister Carlotta, do you know that there is something that can change a person's hair color and eye color without harming health?"

"It doesn't create hallucinations like one-way illusion potions, but directly acts on the human body. It's best not to have anything to do with magic to avoid unnecessary fluctuations in magic power."

Elena looked up relevant knowledge in the Imperial Encyclopedia, but because the material was miscellaneous after all, what she could learn was not in-depth.

"Change hair color and eye color?" Carlota murmured after hearing the words, and answered after a few seconds.
