Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

"How did they react?"

"Maybe it's because I'm here and there's no response."

Catherine is the head maid who is most trusted by Elena. Even if she is wronged, the members of the maid team still dare not show any dissatisfaction on the surface.

They are just ordinary people with no background and no power. If they say bad things and let Elena know, they will have to say whether they can leave safely.

"Good job, hard work, Catherine." Elena said.

"It is my honor to share the worries of His Highness."

Catherine stared at Elena without squinting, and soon brought a piece of news that the other party didn't expect.

"His Majesty learned that you ate seafood by mistake and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. In addition, he asked you to go see him when you recovered from your illness."

The "His Majesty" in Catherine's mouth naturally refers to the emperor of the Calliste Empire who is at the peak of power, and the father of Prince Tadel, Cantor Fercis.

"Father... want to see me?"

"Yes, he is very worried about Her Royal Highness's health."

Suddenly going to meet the eminent emperor, Eileen's eyes darkened, and it took half a minute before she spoke slowly.

"I see."

In Elena's memory, Kanto was a tolerant and loving emperor, but it was only because he pampered the orphan who lost his parents since childhood. The real Kanto Fercis was a decisive The iron-blooded emperor, the two characteristics of kindness and cruelty do not conflict in him.

Dealing with such a person is much more tiring than dealing with Testia, but fortunately, Elena has always been favored. As long as she doesn't do too much, the emperor will try her best to tolerate her.

After explaining to Elena, Catherine went back to the room to wash and rest when she had nothing to do. Testia was also tired all day and felt that her mental strength was almost exhausted. She stood up and said goodbye to Princess Elena. When she walked to the door , suddenly stopped, put his plain hand on the handle, and did not push it away for a long time

"His Royal Highness Elena...May I take the liberty to ask you something..." Testia said.

"What's the matter?" Elena asked her.

Testia licked her lips a few times and found a relatively suitable statement.

"I want to know... how are the maids who did nothing wrong..."

Just now she heard what Catherine meant, and Elena seemed to have done some very bad things to them.

"It's okay, I was fined for two months' salary."

Testia heard the words and said: "But, they didn't do anything..."

Hearing this, Elena looked at Testia with great interest, her voice clear and clear.

"Miss Testia, what does this mean?"

"Do you want to teach me how to do things?"

As the tone became colder, Testia trembled slightly, and her voice subconsciously softened.

"I just think...they're innocent too..."

Some maids had no access to the ingredients and the bowl of pea soup, but they were punished by Elena in the same way.

It is not right to do so.

"Innocent?" Elena smiled.

"Of course I know these people are innocent, but that doesn't stop me from dealing with them."

Breaking away from Prince Tadel's political faction needs to be done step by step, and she must perform this scene perfectly.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Testia's heart after hearing this, and she silently opened the door of the room. At this moment, she heard Elena talking again.

"Testia, you will understand my purpose in doing this in the future."

Later, maybe.

Volume 24: Chapter 24 Chapter [-] The Sons of Emperor Cantor

The most intuitive impact of the disbandment of the maid team on Princess Elena is the loss of afternoon tea. Although Catherine can also make desserts and make black tea, she has to stay with Elena most of the time, and now there are more A job to guide Testia, usually even less free.

Testia also knows some cake baking skills. According to her, she learned it from working in a cake shop in the town, but it is limited to baking and knows nothing about other steps.

If you don’t eat, don’t eat. It’s right to control your weight. After all, the only remarkable thing about this vicious princess is her appearance, which cannot be spoiled at will.

Looking at the beautiful silver-haired beauty in a pure black dress in the mirror, Elena gently touched her neck, and placed the dark red magic spar pendant in the center of her collarbone. complement each other.

Today is the third day of Eileen's allergy to seafood by mistake. After resting for so long, she should also go to see the aloof emperor of the Callist Empire.

"Catherine, you continue to train with Testia in the morning." Elena said.

"Of order, Your Highness Elena." Catherine responded.

Turning her head, Elena looked at the pink-haired maid with folded hands and a straight back, and smiled slightly.

"It's been a while..."

Fighting against an executive-level powerhouse can improve your strength far more than just watching without practicing. Testia and Catherine have been sparring for a few days, and their combat skills have improved significantly. Under such circumstances, her first five moves can barely do not fall behind.

For a half-baked junior knight, this is already a very proud record.

"If I come back early, I will teach you how to make a new dish at noon."

After receiving Elena's promise, Testia's eyes lit up, and she bowed slightly.

"Thank you, Your Highness Elena."

After explaining the relevant matters, Eileen followed behind the attendants and headed all the way to the main hall of the palace, which was the council hall set up by Emperor Cantor.

Passing through the spacious corridor paved with tiles, in front of you are semi-circular arched windows and scattered spire-shaped outer eaves. Elena is stepping on an expensive fur carpet, surrounded by beautifully framed oil paintings, occasionally a few The waiters with the trays passed by, and they all bowed and saluted when they saw her, showing respect.

Arriving at the entrance of the Council Hall, I arranged for a waiter to notify the visitors first. Elena waited for a while, and then the dark golden door in front of her slowly opened under the effect of magic.

The girl took a deep breath, and walked slowly into the hall with her skirt lifted. Since there had been no wars in the Calliste Empire in recent years, there were very few people discussing state affairs in the council hall, and all the four dukes were absent.

Grand Prince Tadel, Minister of Finance Florence, Secretary of the Interior Hughes Rhodes...

Eileen's gaze moved up from left to right, and finally landed on the central throne, the blond man exuding the aura of a lion.

Emperor Kantor was wearing a dark green military uniform with a strong figure. The pure black double-breasted buttons were buttoned up neatly. He wore an iron medal with a honeysuckle pattern on his left chest. The cuffs and bow tie were all decorated with embroidery.

The dazzling sun shines on the man's long golden hair like ears of wheat, and his resolute face is as sharp as a knife.

He just sat quietly on the throne with his scepter in his hands, his green eyes narrowed slightly, but he gave off an undeniable royal aura.

Seeing Princess Elena half-bowed under the steps, Kanto spoke with a rare kindness in his eyes, and spoke in a warm voice.

"Rise up, my most precious and beautiful Gemstone of the Callist Empire."

Elena heard the words and stood her legs straight, the corners of her lips curved brightly.

"Thank you, Father."

Seeing that Elena's situation was indeed much better than before, Cantor nodded in relief.

"If you still feel uncomfortable, tell me in time, and the doctors of the whole palace and even the whole empire are at your disposal."

Cantor and Elena's parents were old acquaintances when they were teenagers. Now both of them died for the country, and only one daughter is left alive. Cantor will naturally love him in every way.

"Thank you for your concern, my daughter is fine." Elena replied softly.

Then he chatted with the emperor for a while, and Kantor mentioned that he was investigating the source of the seafood powder thoroughly, and asked Elena what she thought of the incident.

As soon as the man finished speaking, another sharp line of sight was suddenly projected on Eileen, who turned her gaze slightly from the corner of her eye, and quickly found the source of her gaze.

Tadel lowered his head and fixed his eyes on Elena, as if expecting her to say something.

Although Eileen herself doesn't pay much attention to political matters, she has always known about the struggle between him and the second prince. If she can use this incident to throw a pot of dirty water on the latter, no matter whether it succeeds or not, it will be fine. Bring great benefits to Tadel.

If something is found out, Kanto will most likely be disappointed with the second prince.

If he didn't find out anything, with how much he loves Elena, he will somewhat doubt the second prince.

There was never a moment when Tadel hoped that Elena would have a little bit of a political mind, so that she would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Catherine interrogated the maid, and no one admitted that she put seafood powder in the soup..."

"In other words, there are instructions behind this matter, rather than the unintentional actions of a certain maid?"

"So far, that's true."

Kantor had a serious expression when he heard the words, and gently stroked the scepter with his fingers. Seeing this, Tadel became more and more excited, wishing to stand up and speak for Elena.

Say a little more, and completely guide the direction to the second prince.

Of course Elena could see what Tadel wanted her to do at the moment, and she was silently thinking about it.

The second prince Andre is also not an easy character to get along with. Compared with Tadel, he is less lustful and more cruel. He whips corpses and tortures them, commits all kinds of evil, and is a real psychopath.

You might as well follow Tadel's intentions and sell him a favor, which can not only confuse the other party, but also serve as a cover for her subsequent contact with the future real emperor of the novel, the current fourth princess Delphis.

Thinking of this, Elena added in a timely manner.

"I heard from Catherine that the taste of the seafood powder is a bit like the shrimp and crab specialty of Port Rulo in the south."

Port Lulo is the fiefdom of the second prince, and Elena's move is undoubtedly aimed at Andre.

After hearing this, Kantor rested his hand on his cheek in thought, and moved his eyes away from Elena to Tadel who was beside him.

Tadel stood upright, looking at Kantor with a slightly humble gaze, without showing the slightest guilt.

After a long time, Emperor Kantor withdrew his scrutinizing eyes and replied to Elena in a low voice.

"This is a very useful piece of information, and I'll make the person in charge of the investigation pay more attention."

No matter who wants to touch Princess Elena, he will bear his anger and revenge.

Volume 25: Chapter 25

After leaving the council hall, Eileen's tense spirit finally relaxed, she raised her legs and moved her sore knees, and suddenly a shrill male voice came from her ear.

"The maid team has been disbanded, and there are not enough servants available around the imperial sister, do you need to make some more help for brother?"

Tadel had a smile on his face, and there was a hint of complacency in his eyes.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Elena did him a great favor this time, probably the second prince never dreamed that he was already on the father's suspicion list.

"I have recently selected a new batch of maids. If the imperial sister doesn't dislike them, you can send them out for a while. If they work well, it doesn't matter if you keep them all the time."

Of course Elena would not ask for trouble, she just cleaned up a batch of eyeliner before accepting another batch, so she made up a reason to refuse.

"I was trapped by these careless maids a while ago. I don't want to recruit any more for now. Catherine is enough."

After finishing speaking, Elena felt that her speech was slightly inappropriate, and Tadel could easily try to get Testia away, so she immediately added.

"Testia is also learning how to make desserts, and I believe it won't take long to see results."

Hearing this, Tadel still maintained his elegant and noble posture, his eyes narrowed into a thin slit.

"The imperial sister seems to value that Miss Testia very much."

"Is she worthy of your trust? This incident is a good warning, in case she is in the pastry..."

Tadel didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning of his expression was very clear. Elena fired almost all the maids in one go, so she should also be wary of this new toy.

Better to... leave her at your own disposal...

Guessing Tadel's evil intentions, Elena's tone was slightly cold, and she couldn't tell if she was guarding against Testia, or she was dissatisfied with Tadel's words.

"I will let Catherine keep an eye on Testia all the time, and not give her any chance to disobey me."

"It's just a plaything, how big a storm can it cause?"

Anyway, Testia is not here now, and Elena just took this opportunity to make Tadel's misunderstanding deeper, so that he can willingly wait until she is tired of playing with Testia, an ignorant and foolish princess. Throw it to him.

Thanks to the bad image of the original owner who was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Tadel did not have any doubts after hearing it, and even dispelled some unbelievable speculations in his heart. For example, Princess Irene has been hiding her clumsiness, but she is actually a spy planted by Andre's camp.

At present, the only two contenders for the throne are the eldest prince Tadel and the second prince Andre. Although the third princess Irene is favored, but because she does not have royal blood, she cannot directly participate in the seizure of the throne. She must find a suitable one. Attached to the heir to the throne, in order to enjoy wealth forever.

Today's actions basically confirmed Eileen's political affiliation.

"Since the imperial sister knows the pros and cons, I won't say any more..."

Tadel tidied up his clothes, looking like a good brother.

"This time you have suffered. It just so happened that the pastries I asked someone to buy arrived in the afternoon. I will arrange for someone to deliver some to the imperial sister later. They are all local specialties that cannot be bought in the imperial capital."

"If you need anything else, please feel free to ask me. No matter what happens, Brother Huang will always support you."

Some words sound high-sounding, but the person is actually a low-brow who is greedy for girls everywhere. Elena doesn't think there is any brother-sister relationship between the original owner and Tadel, and the so-called care and support are just on the road to power. Use each other.
