Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

"Yes." Catherine nodded, affirming Testia's remarks.

After a while, Testia asked again: "How much money should they have received in the contract..."

"Two months' full salary," answered Catherine.

"..."

After a brief silence, Testia raised a slender white hand, pressed the palm to her forehead lightly, moistened her throat and said.

"So... all the money for the past six months was sent to them by Princess Eileen?"

There was an imperceptible tremor in Testia's voice, and the delicate body lying under the blanket was slightly tense.

Catherine hesitated for a while, then responded in a gentle voice: "It's Princess Elena's meaning."

Regarding this generous severance payment, in order to paralyze Prince Tadel, the external statement that Elena requested was paid by Catherine personally. She didn't know it, and Catherine planned to explain it to Testia in the beginning, but Later, considering tonight's meeting, Elena and Carlotta had talked about so many private plans, and Testia, who was able to listen to them completely, was obviously not the so-called "outsider" in the other party's mouth.

Although Catherine still doesn't understand why Elena trusts a pink-haired girl who has just met for a month and whose details are unknown, but since the other party has already done so, then she, a maid, will naturally change her attitude. Consistent with the master.

After listening to Catherine's speech, Testia didn't make a sound for a long time. She lowered her head, her slender and straight eyelashes were like a thick brush, covering those clear sky blue eyes, the moonlight splashed, and the curtains The patterns on the girl's cheeks left a layer of interlaced shadows of reality and reality.

She remembered what Elena had said when she left Elena's room that night.

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

Testia, who is so pure that she is not much different from a piece of white paper, naturally couldn't imagine that Elena dismissed the maid to get rid of Tadel's eyeliner, but she now knows that Princess Elena's heart is not what she showed at the time So domineering.

She said that she was just venting her anger and punishing them with two months' salary, but when the maids packed their bags and were about to leave, Elena would remember how they took care of her before, and she felt soft-hearted but ashamed. Yu opened his mouth to persuade him to stay, he could only express his apology by increasing the severance pay.

She is very gentle, but her personality is reserved and she refuses to show it.

That is to say, now that Elena is not by Testia's side, I don't know that she has made up such a lot of ancient romance plots in her brain, otherwise she probably will suspect that she is not a villain as she said, but a villain. What kind of delicate and frail tsundere heroine script did you take?

Seeing that Testia hadn't spoken for a long time, Catherine spoke slowly.

"Miss Testia, rest early, I have worked hard for you today."

She still has some mental strength left, but Testia has run out of practical use, and if she doesn't sleep, she probably won't be able to recover until tomorrow morning.

"Well, thank you Miss Catherine for your concern, I'll sleep right away..." Testia replied softly.

After a quarter of an hour, Testia heard the soft and steady breathing of a woman in her ears. Catherine had been fighting in the underground lair for so long, and she finally had a rest at this moment. Of course she would not force herself to meditate, but Go directly to light sleep to replenish the consumed mental power.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling of the bedroom in front of her, Testia only felt physically tired and her limbs were sore, but she was not at all sleepy at the mental level. The cold figure with silver hair and red pupils in a black gauze skirt was always in her mind.

The handwriting on that letter...also resembles Princess Elena...

As more and more evidence pointed out that Elena, the noble princess of the empire, might not be as arrogant and domineering as the rumors, Testia couldn't help recalling the parchment Lena gave her, and the hitherto unknown informer.

If it is said that there is only one or two possibilities for Testia to suspect that the informer is Princess Elena, then after going through the enchantment of the dead, the late-night talks, and actually knowing Elena's attitude towards the severance pay, this The possibility suddenly soared to more than [-]%.

If that letter was really sent by Elena...then protecting her parents from the threat of Tadel is also the instruction given to Miss Lena by the other party...

Testia felt her heart beating non-stop in her chest, and the palms holding the quilt were also sweating slightly, and her two slender legs curled up together, and soon straightened again.

She even had the urge to immediately show the parchment to Elena and ask her if she was the writer of this letter.

"..."

After a long time, Testia told herself to be calm and not to act rashly.

Even if she found out whether this letter was written by Eileen, it would not gain anything, she just satisfied her growing curiosity.

The young Testia Blakely hadn't realized until this moment that she was no longer the same as she was a month ago—every question she was thinking about at leisure was related to that woman named Elena.

Volume 92: Chapter 87 Chapter [-] Dinner table guessing is a blasphemy against food

In the early morning of the next day, Eileen, who had recovered her energy, returned to the palace under the escort of Carlota. The girl had just entered the garden, when she heard a maid report that Prince Tadel had something to ask her to discuss, and she was waiting in the dining room.

Without thinking about it, she knew that the other party's coming here at this time must be because of what happened last night. Elena had already prepared her speech in advance, told Testia and Catherine to continue their daily training, and then went to the restaurant where Tadel was alone. , enjoying a delicious western breakfast with this preoccupied eldest prince.

Not long after sitting down, Tadel, who pretended to care a few words, wanted to know Carlotta's detailed attitude towards this incident from his royal sister. It wasn't until the man was about to lose his temper that he pretended to mention it unintentionally.

"Father takes care of everything every day. How can he have so much time to pay attention to the private affairs of his children? I just suffered a little trauma, so it's better not to let him know. Sister Carlotta probably won't mention this matter to Father."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Tadel's heart was reluctantly put back in his stomach, and he took a sip of the mushroom soup in front of him, before turning to mention another matter that he was also concerned about.

"Sister, are those two magic crystals that recorded the backtracking enchantment still with you?"

Although Eileen has expressed absolute support for him recently, Tadel is suspicious by nature and has always been a little uneasy. The magic spar records the whole process of servants burying civilians alive and land mutations. He can only grasp this key evidence. It's safe in your own hands.

A trace of confusion flashed across Elena's eyes when she heard this, and she slowly put down the beautiful black silk legs that were overlapping under the table, and the heels of her high-heeled shoes hit the floor tiles, making a sharp sound.

"I originally put the magic spar in my bag yesterday, but I don't know if I accidentally lost it while running, or threw the potion indiscriminately when I panicked, and threw it all out in one go."

Elena didn't know if Tadel's news network was sensitive enough, and for the purpose of gaining the other party's trust, she didn't deliberately conceal the fact that she traded potions with the Bulstrode family.

On the issue of succession to the throne, she needs to side with Tadel on the surface, at least not to hinder him at such a critical moment. Once the eldest prince is attacked, it will be difficult for him to resist the second prince Andre's next move.

Only when the two tigers compete with each other and restrict each other, and they can't spare their hands to pay attention to her, can Delphise finally have the possibility of becoming the leader.

The magic spar happened to be lost... Is it such a coincidence...

After listening to Elena's words, Tadel felt a little suspicious, his emerald green eyes slowly swept across the silver-haired princess in front of him, and he paused to speak.

"It's all my fault for not taking good care of her. I should send more guards. Next time, I will definitely not let the imperial sister fall into such a dangerous situation."

On the surface, she pleaded guilty, but actually found a suitable reason for the other party to refuse to get involved next time. Not only did Elena not splash a little dirty water this time, but she also solved the land deactivation problem by accident. This is half happy and half worrying.

The happy thing is that a bad thing that was difficult to deal with finally landed smoothly. Carlota's actions clearly sided with him. What is worrying is that Elena's recent actions somewhat exceeded his overall expectations. This beautiful silver-haired princess It gave him a vague feeling of being out of control.

Of course, Tadel hoped that Elena would support his succession, but whether the latter pointed the finger at Andre in front of Emperor Cantor or asked Carlotta to deal with the deactivation of the land, these things were all important. Acting privately without his instructions, with a strong initiative.

Is she still that idiot princess who only cares about fun and enjoyment, and doesn't pay attention to the changes in the current situation at all...

After a few more pleasantries, Tadel continued to return to the magic spar: "The first magic spar should not be recovered if it is lost in the barrier, but I remember that the second one was collected by Count Carlota afterwards. , where is it now?"

The second piece of magic spar did not record the detailed burial process, only the bones exposed in the air. Although the importance is far less than the first piece, once it falls into the hands of political opponents, it will bring him some serious problems. Small nuisance.

Hearing this, Eileen gracefully forked up a fried mushroom, her seductive cherry lips that became moist and shiny with the soup slightly opened and closed.

"Of course the second piece is in the hands of Sister Carlotta. That magic spar records the entire process from the formation to the end of the enchantment. She said that she will take it and study it carefully."

The girl's remarks were almost impeccable, and Tadel really couldn't find any decent reason to ask the other party for a while, so he nodded calmly, appreciating and approving Carlota's behavior.

"Count Carlotta is really a conscientious and responsible professor. Her strong desire for knowledge of the occult is worth learning from every magician."

"Brother Huang is right. Although Sister Carlota is already a legendary mage-level powerhouse, her attitude towards magic learning is still the same for several years."

After continuing to say a lot of scene words that the nobles of the Calliste Empire are good at, most of the food on the dinner plate finally went down. Elena picked up the tablecloth and wiped her mouth lightly, with a slight curve on the corners of her lips.

"If Brother Huang has nothing else to do, then I will be excused for the time being."

Communicating with Tadel is really not a wonderful experience. It’s okay to talk about car after car, but I chose a breakfast spot. do not know anything.

"Well, Huangmei, walk slowly. If you are injured, you should pay more attention to rest."

Looking at the slim and graceful Elena in front of her, that exquisite and delicate body was tightly fitted by a gorgeously decorated dress, and a pair of slender white and tender jade legs were wrapped in two thin black silks, like a pair of delicate and delicate girls tied with ribbons. A gift box, waiting for the recipient to reach out and open it.

Although Tadel pretended to be a good brother who is harmless to humans and animals, there was a hint of greed in his eyes looking at Elena. This strangeness happened to be spotted by Elena who was about to turn around, and she couldn't help but Secretly sighing that this lustful eldest prince is really a savage, thinking about his little things about the bed all the time.

The dislike of Tadel in her heart reached a new height, and Elena didn't bother to say anything more to him, and left the restaurant with long legs.

If she remembers correctly, Tadel will not be in the imperial capital for a long time to start a new round of open and secret battles with his brother and fateful enemy Andre.

Out of sight, out of mind, and without Tadel's constraints, Eileen, who was in the imperial capital, could finally relax a little bit, and devote all her attention to the transaction with the Bulstrode family and the education of Delphis. .

Volume 93: Chapter 88 Chapter [-] Do you work voluntarily?

"Miss Testia, here is your commission for this month, a total of ten gold coins, please keep it properly so as not to lose it."

After receiving the small leather bag from Catherine, Testia felt her palm suddenly become heavy, and the subtle and crisp sound of metal collisions wafted in the air, as if it had become the most beautiful music in the world.

"In order to prevent unnecessary accidents, Ms. Testia had better count the number of gold coins on the spot."

Financial disputes are the most likely to cause gaps in life. At work, Catherine has always adhered to the principle of business affairs, even if the other party is someone trusted by Princess Elena.

Testia nodded slightly when she heard the words, untied the string that fastened the cowhide bag, and carefully poured the gold coins into the palm of her hand one by one.

The golden coin reflects the dazzling luster in the sunlight. The honeysuckle pattern representing empire and wealth shines on the front, and the crown symbolizing royal power on the reverse is surrounded by four flower-like swords in the middle, close to the girl's soft porcelain-white palm.

Although these gold coins could not be half as heavy as the knight's sword no matter how you looked at them, when Testia actually stacked them in her hand, she still felt a reassuring weight.

This is wealth that she can freely control, and it is the first time in Testia's life that she has received such a high commission.

"Miss Catherine, I've confirmed that it's ten gold coins." Testia responded softly.

It wasn't until this moment that the sense of unreality in the girl's heart slowly dissipated, and excitement and joy rushed into her heart.

That was a full ten gold coins, calculated to rent several acres of arable land for annual use, buy a dozen lambs, or a lot of rough ale that my father couldn't finish drinking.

At this moment, there was a sound of crisp footsteps in Testia's ear, she turned around, and a silver-haired girl with a beautiful face walked into the gazebo slowly, her dark black skirt brought a burst of fragrance, Inadvertently revealing the lower half of the delicate and smooth black silk thighs, the satin high legs inlaid with broken diamonds followed the jade legs shaking and shining with little light.

"I almost forgot, today is the day to send commissions to Miss Testia..."

Elena saw the shining gold coin in Testia's hand, and the corners of her lips raised slightly.

"How about it, working for the Callist royal family, is the treatment more than a star and a half better than expected?"

In the early stage of the original book, Testia, who had just come to the imperial capital, rejected all the property presented by Lena. In order to support herself and not worry her family, she found a part-time job in a dessert shop under the arrangement of the other party. A silver coin has to be broken into two halves.

Testia nodded seriously after hearing this, raised her face for a moment, pursed her pink lips, and narrowed her sapphire-like eyes.

"Thank you, Your Highness Elena!"

Before she finished speaking, the girl's head was slightly tilted to the left, her long pale pink hair was gently blown by the wind, and she looked like a soft and cute kitten.

Eileen looked at Testia, who exuded the aura of "I'm very happy" all over her body, and her bright red pupils reflected the other's delicate, white face, and her heart quickly moved with a touch that even she herself had never felt before. Perceived slight ripples.

Good-natured, top-notch, sincere, and good-natured, such a person is born with full charm. It is no wonder that so many decent villains in the book like Testia so much.

"You don't have to thank me, this is what you deserve."

Elena's tone was flat, as if she just did a trivial thing.

"Do your job well, and the benefits are absolutely indispensable."

To a noble imperial princess, ten gold coins are really nothing, but falling on a poor child like Testia can definitely be said to be a huge sum of money from heaven.

Such a small amount of money can make the heroine of destiny so happy. If I send her a few more coins, will I be so moved that Irene Ovesia is the best in this world besides her parents? The gentlest person.

It's a pity that Testia is as self-respecting as the protagonists of other novels, and it is impossible to accept her unconditional and unconditional support, otherwise she has to think about what she has and what she doesn't have, and it's over by throwing money at her and cleaning herself up.

While thinking wildly, Eileen secretly lamented that compared with the standard of living of ordinary civilians in the Calliste Empire, the nobles of the Calliste Empire are like heaven and earth. The scraps accidentally dropped from the dining table by the former are enough for a low-level family. Expenses for the first half of the year.

Some people are born in Rome.

"Well, I will work hard, Your Highness Elena."

Putting her labor income into the cowhide bag, the touch in Testia's eyes did not dissipate in the slightest. Elena saw her so happy, and her usually cold tone revealed a bit of softness.

"We have just experienced a big battle, and it coincides with the signing of the contract for a full month. Tomorrow, you and Catherine will both rest for two days and stop working."

Tadel had to arrange for his subordinates to make relevant arrangements after he left after receiving the dispatch order from Emperor Kantor, and he had to manage the rest of the forces himself, so he did not leave the imperial capital so soon.

Claire's potion also needs one to two days to prepare. During this period, Elena can relax a little bit, organize her mood and thoughts, and prepare for the next step to go deep into the palace and meet a certain blond loli who has been imprisoned for many years. That is the fourth princess Delphis.

"By the way, this is an order." Elena added at the right time.

The last time she gave these two maids a holiday, one continued to do her job, and the other hurriedly got up to study magic after a nap. Those who didn't know thought she was extorting, saying that it was a holiday but secretly voluntarily working overtime The unscrupulous operation of hanging street lamps.

"Understood, Miss Elena."

"Um......"

After listening to Catherine and Testia's answers, Elena sat down on the stone chair, called the maid team to make her a cup of black tea, and continued to watch the friendship between the two military personnel.

Although she is a crispy mage with high attack and paper defense, theoretically she doesn't need to learn too many melee skills, but you can't go wrong if you look at it more. After all, before becoming a magister, a mage can't open up a large space with a knight. Sometimes you will encounter the embarrassing situation of being directly breached by the opponent's defense.

At this time, it is necessary for the magician himself to react quickly enough to avoid being directly hit or even killed by a face-to-face, and Elena, who lacks mental power compared to ordinary people, is obviously easier to face this situation, even Testia And Catherine can't be guarding her every minute and every second.

The so-called know yourself and the enemy and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. After seeing a lot, you will know how to deal with it.

The incident last night had already sounded the alarm for Elena. Her own strength may be a little bit weaker, but she must not be too far behind.

............

Volume 94: Chapter 89 Chapter [-] I'm going to be Elena's puppy

After a whole day of skills training and magic learning, Testia felt that her strength was much stronger than when she first came to the imperial capital. This improvement was not only reflected in her fighting skills, but also in her own total spiritual power.

Especially after experiencing the battle of the underground lair, Testia could clearly notice that her fully restored mental power had increased, and her total storage capacity had even expanded by more than half.
