Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

By the time this letter arrives in your hands, it should be late spring, and I will also spend the second month away from home in the imperial capital.

The last time I wrote a letter, I mentioned about the Isabeth Academy of Magic. Due to some accidents, I failed to enroll in time, but fortunately, I met a noble lady named Elena Ovecia, she was kind They took me in and arranged for me the entrance ceremony for the next year.

Miss Elena is a very nice person.

You don’t need to worry too much about food and clothing. Miss Elena’s family is short of manpower, so I was asked to be the housemaid responsible for all kinds of chores. The usual job is very easy, similar to when I went to work in the dessert room before, but The treatment is better, food and housing are included, and there are twelve gold coins as commission every month.

Because of some regulations, I don't know the exact monthly salary of other maids, but the difference should not be too big. Miss Elena's family is well-known in the emperor, so they are able to give such a generous commission. I am very grateful for her acceptance and support. help.

Compliments Miss Elena.

Speaking of which, I don't seem to have mentioned Miss Elena to you in detail. She is eighteen this year and has just passed her birth ceremony. She is very beautiful.

Her hair is a very unique silvery white color, which looks very good in the sun, and the hair quality is also very good, and it feels very soft and comfortable. I combed her hair, and it didn't frizz at all, and it came down naturally.

Moreover, Miss Elena's hair is obviously much longer than mine, and it hangs down to her waist, but in fact, her hands are surprisingly easy to manage. If only I could have such hair.

In addition to the silver hair, Miss Elena has another thing that is different from others. Her pupil color is very special, which is a very transparent and clear dark red. It is a bit like a little rabbit that was caught at home before, but it is much prettier than that. , watery, and her skin is fair, not only does she not look weird, but she looks even better.

Although she has a cold temperament, she is a very gentle person in her bones.

By the way, Miss Elena can also cook, and she is especially good at using a special cooking method. Specifically, she takes a shovel and repeatedly stirs the ingredients in the cauldron. It is completely different from the usual careful stirring of cooking. She The stir-fry is stronger, more ingredients are added, and the taste is different from what we usually eat at home.

I was fortunate enough to learn a few dishes from Ms. Elena. She said that the names of those dishes were spicy chicken, braised eggplant, sweet and sour pork ribs, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Although the effect I made was not as good as hers, the taste was still good. Yes, I will make it for you to try when I go back later.

Speaking of cooking, what I will mention soon, my mother will definitely like it. Miss Elena used several plants that are usually only used in potion refining. In fact, they can also be used for cooking besides refining medicine. The dish tastes a bit like a mixture of ginger, Chinese prickly ash, and pepper, but the spiciness is stronger than them, and if you eat too much, it will burn your stomach.

My mother loves spicy food so much, so she should like them very much. I will put a small bag of this seasoning crop called chili in the envelope later. Miss Elena said that the chili can be stored for a year and a half when dried, and it will not spoil when delivered home. , you can try it yourself, add some to your usual dishes, but don't put too much, it's more spicy than anything I grew up eating.

In addition to cooking, I am also working hard on academic matters. Miss Elena has a high level of attainment in mysticism. Whenever I encounter problems in the process of casting spells, she can basically see the shortcomings and correct them. With her help Next, I have been successfully promoted to a low-level apprentice, and with the help of another head maid named Catherine in physical training, I have successfully stepped into the middle-level knight level.

Catherine is a high-ranking executive. She is a big step and a short step taller than the second uncle of the village chief's niece's son's friend's brother's brother. She is very powerful, and the most important thing is that she is only 25 years old this year.

I don't know if I can be promoted to a high-level grand knight when I am 25 years old. I heard that the graduation standard of the Isabeth School of Magic is a low-level grand knight or low-level spellcaster. It would be embarrassing if I can't graduate by then.

After coming to the imperial capital, I realized that I might not be as talented as I thought...

All of a sudden, I said so much to myself, how is your family doing now, are you two in good health?

I sent a little money back, a total of nine gold coins, to buy more high-quality rough ale for my father, but remember not to drink too much, it is not good for your health.

Mother should not do such long hours of needlework every day, hurting her eyes, and take a good rest at night. The rest of the money will be used to buy a few more lambs, and it will be a profit when it is sold.

I don’t need much money here, so you don’t need to send it to me anymore. Working with Ms. Elena for a year can save me a lot of money, even if it’s used for travel expenses to go home from school. Food expenses are enough.

Have Dachai and Erchai gained weight recently? I haven’t touched them for a long time. I don’t know if they feel as soft as when I left them. If they are thinner, they will feel uncomfortable to the touch.

I also bought some delicious food for them, as if I had visited them at home.

Pay attention to rest and take good care of your body. Everything is fine here.

Inscribed with love to your daughter, Testia Blakely.

---------

Testia put down the quill in her hand, read the letter from beginning to end, and made sure that there was no information that would easily worry her parents flowed out of the pen, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She wanted to write at first, and she missed them, but she couldn't leave and return to her hometown immediately after writing.

After re-reading the letter, it was the introduction of Princess Elena that used the most pen and ink.

Putting the letter paper into the addressed envelope, and neatly stuffing nine gold coins and a pack of dried chilies into the cowhide bag beside her, Testia stood up and left the bedroom with the things.

The postbox closest to the palace was near the Isabeth School of Magic. Testia walked across the road alone, packed the things she wanted to send, and stuffed them into the postbox.

Looking at the dark green mailbox in front of her, the painted, slightly glowing metal casing, Testia was stunned for a while, and then she took a long time to look back on it, and walked back along the way she came.

People came and went on the street, and there was an endless stream of cars and horses. In the afternoon, a postman opened the mailbox and took out the heavy envelopes inside.

The letter signed by the girl is full of peace and concern, and the wind brings the traveler's thoughts that germinate over time.

ps. The author's words: the end of the first volume

Volume 99: Chapter [-] Final Words

After finishing the first volume, the world view has revealed a small part. This volume has a lot of foreshadowing content, and the plot arrangement may be relatively smooth, without particularly major conflicts and twists and turns.

In terms of relationship, someone mentioned whether it would be too slow. Here is a brief answer. After all, Testia is the heroine and the main palace. Her relationship line should be the longest in all the harem, so the progress does not seem to be that great. quick.

Her feelings for Elena will develop step by step in the subsequent events. In the current time period, she just thinks that Elena is a nice and gentle person, and she doesn't realize that that kind of feeling may be liking.

Testia needs time to grow, not only in strength, but also in character. Now she has a higher proportion of longing than love for Elena.

Although everyone should be able to see that the next volume is the home of a loli tyrant, Testia will still occupy a lot of ink (after all, she is the appointed heroine of destiny).

To make a digression, the Hedgehog Cat's Great Tranquility is really difficult. Not only does it have no time to post and comment, but even the review is all manual, which leads to the fact that the written chapter may take a long time to be reviewed before it is released, and it is not always certain when it will be seen. .

Today's [-]-character chapter should not be able to be reviewed, please come back tomorrow QAQ

In addition, the author Jiang is also very grateful to everyone for their support and love for this book during this difficult period. I am very grateful here.

Volume 100: Chapter 94 Chapter 4 He is an emperor and a father ([-]k)

In Post City, the imperial capital of the Callist Empire, a beautiful girl with silver hair and red pupils was sitting at a desk, her lotus arms slanted, her cheeks gently supported by the back of her hand, her two slender and well-proportioned black silk legs were naturally close together, He looked intently at the parchment in front of him.

At this moment, three days have passed since the barrier collapsed. After the short vacation, Elena returned to the never-ending magic learning again, and began to systematically study the magic array that Carlota had always mentioned before.

Although her spiritual power reserve can only be regarded as a junior apprentice of the lowest level, and she can only use up all her strength to release the intermediate ice spell with the highest affinity once, and it is not the best time to touch the magic circle at all, but Eileen I know that I can't get any effective improvement by looking at those elementary magic again, but it's a waste of energy.

What she currently lacks is not the understanding of spells, but the total amount of mental power.

Since the process of tempering one's mental strength is really long, the effect will not be seen overnight. Rather than waiting hard, it is better to preview the magic circle in advance to lay the foundation for subsequent learning.

Elena tried to engrave some magic circles some time ago, such as the opening magic circle used for perfume, or the aura technique taught to her by Carlotta. The latter also has related structures inside, but these magic circles are either She figured it out by herself in comparison with the old French, or someone taught her to make it by hand, and there are still many fine parts for her to disassemble and understand.

"Introduction to Magic Array and Key Points of Intermediate Magic Release", one of the treasures of the Royal Library of the Callist Empire, analyzed the flow process of spiritual power and the essence of the magic array in an in-depth and concise manner, which is very helpful to Eileen now.

A few rays of sunlight penetrated the curtains and fell on the lavender bed. In the quiet bedroom, only the girl's gentle breathing and the occasional rustling of papers were left.

"Different from knights who use their spiritual power to strengthen their bodies and sharpen it to assist their attacks, magicians are good at using magic to mobilize elements to achieve various purposes. During the whole process of releasing magic, the spiritual power actually This transformation is irreversible, even arcane magic without the participation of elements."

"This law shows that once a certain kind of magic is released, no matter how much spiritual power the caster puts in, it is impossible to recover even a tiny bit of it if it is temporarily terminated. This is especially evident in the art of magic. The converted magic power cannot continue to operate according to the original path, and there are only two possibilities for the next one."

"One is that the magician himself has rich experience and uses various means in time to dissipate the excess magic power into the air. The second situation is more dangerous. Regardless of the possibility of the elemental rampage caused by the failure of the magic circle, the magic power that is out of control will usually reflect. Flock to the caster itself, and its incompatibility with spiritual power will form a spiritual backlash against the magician, which is quite fatal in battle."

When Elena read this passage, she found that all the fonts were bolded with ink, which was obviously very important information.

She had only read the ancient French spells of intermediate magic before, and then tried to release them directly. She never thought that the process would be so dangerous. It is no wonder that Carlotta had such a big mood swing when she learned that she dismantled the magic circle.

Ordinary high-level apprentices would have a caster watch over them when they tried intermediate magic, so as to avoid any unexpected situations. She was lucky, and with the Chinese commentary, she passed in a hurry. Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

"The significance of chanting spells is not only to mobilize elements, but also to ensure that the key process of transforming spiritual power into magic power is not interrupted by other factors and can be carried out more efficiently."

"When reaching the Magister level, mages can abandon the initial oral spellcasting and instead recite each magic spell in their hearts, so as to avoid being captured by some targets with strong hearing."

"Because the elemental fluctuations in the air generally can't deceive people, so it's not very useful to do so, but it can sometimes have miraculous effects against some enemies who don't understand magic."

It's like the elemental field of vision can detect the accumulation of ice elements in the air, but because there is no magic spell, in the early stage of the spell formation, the person on the opposite side cannot immediately know whether the caster is going to release the ice shield or the ice bolt, It is also impossible to make countermeasures in advance.

Not having to make a sound to chant spells is of limited use to others, but it means a lot to Elena.

This means that she can use more powerful ancient spells without any scruple, without worrying about her secrets being mastered by outsiders.

Continuing to read, I arrived at Elena's favorite part of Chinese translation. Several kinds of magic used as demonstration examples are marked with ancient spells, and the corresponding magic array is quite simple, so you can basically understand it after a while.

Time passed by, and when it was almost noon, Catherine knocked on the door and said that the maid team had prepared lunch, and asked her to go to eat as soon as possible.

"Miss Elena, there is one more thing to report."

Looking at the noble and elegant silver-haired princess in front of her, Catherine lowered her eyes, gently helped Elena tidy her bow tie, and then added.

"Your Majesty wants you to meet him in the afternoon, and the meeting place will be in the back garden of the bedroom."

Cantor wants to see her?

Elena's eyes deepened after hearing this, and she turned her head to look at Testia who was standing quietly beside her. Her slightly cold gaze made the latter straighten her back unconsciously, with her two slender white hands folded and leaning against the skirt.

Although she knew in her heart that Princess Elena was a very good person, the aristocratic aura that naturally emanated from the other party after being pampered for a long time still gave Testia a strong sense of oppression, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. Dare to look directly.

"I see." Elena responded lightly.

After lunch, the three of them went to the meeting place mentioned by Emperor Kantor. Elena told Catherine and Testia to keep a distance from them, and then walked slowly into the back garden.

Although it is said to be a garden, there are not many flowers in it. Instead, there are mostly decorations such as statues and reliefs.

On the bench near the central fountain, a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes was sitting with his eyes closed. He was wearing a bronze loose robe, pure white underwear and trousers. Eagle with white spots.

Hearing the crisp footsteps in his ears, Kantor opened his eyes, and saw that it was Elena who was coming. Her usually calm and pretentious expression in the council hall was fleeting, replaced by a touch of love from the heart.

"Father, good afternoon."

Elena bowed her delicate body and spoke politely. Kantor nodded slightly when he heard this, with a gentle tone.

"Get up and sit next to me."

Noticing that there was still room for two people to sit beside the man, Elena obeyed, bent her knees, and sat about half a body away from Kantor.

This distance does not appear to be too close, but it is just right to show that the relationship between the two is not ordinary.

As soon as Eileen sat down, the eagle on Kanto's shoulder seemed to have received some kind of instruction, and it flapped its wings and flew high into the sky. After a while, only a group of small black spots remained, and finally disappeared.

"Did I disturb it..." Elena asked in a low voice.

Cantor denied in a low voice, "No."

"It's rested enough, it just wants to go out and fly for a while."

Seeing the man's long golden hair like waves of wheat, and his face that looked tougher under the sun, Eileen was silent for a moment, and said with pink lips.

"Father, do you want to tell me something?"

In Elena's memory, although Emperor Cantor loved the original owner quite a lot, he didn't ask her to meet alone many times, not even a few times throughout the year.

Calling her out of the blue this time probably wasn't to chat about family affairs.

Kantor nodded when he heard the words, rubbed the honeysuckle scepter that symbolized power and order, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"I arranged for people to investigate the sources of all seafood powder on the market, and thoroughly investigated all suspicious personnel in the palace. Even so, there is still very little useful information to be obtained."

The person who can put allergens on the princess's dinner plate must be a servant or maid who is close to her. If it weren't for Catherine and Elena's sisters, Cantor might even suspect her.

"Is that so..." Eileen thought thoughtfully after hearing this, her slender and straight eyelashes drooping slightly.

Kantor looked at Elena's delicate side face, and spoke slowly.

"Before you mentioned that the seafood powder might come from Port Roulo, but no matter how hard you search, you can't find any clues."

Kantor knew Elena well, and knew that the other party was not particularly sensitive. The information about the seafood powder seemed to be provided by Catherine, but after careful consideration of the potential beneficiaries, the answer became quite clear.

Starting from the motive, the possibility of Andre attacking Elena is very small. Firstly, the impact on Tadel is limited. Second, once the situation is found out, the crime of hurting his favorite daughter is enough to make him Andre will never return to the imperial capital for the rest of his life.

High risk, low reward, no one would do such a stupid thing, especially a royal family member with deep thoughts.

To sum up, Cantor actually didn't think Andre would do such an act from the bottom of his heart, but since Elena spoke up, he would continue to investigate for a long time, and in the end, he couldn't find the person who poisoned Evidence, but found some small tails that Andre had no time to deal with.

His second son is still too immature, he can't even hide this trivial matter, and he still needs to continue to practice in the future.

As for the mastermind behind this incident, Cantor suspects that it might be his eldest son, Tadel Felsis. Although his possibility is also not high, he has a unique advantage over Andre, that is It was easier to get close to Elena, and looking at the results alone, he was an indirect beneficiary who stayed out of the matter, so clean that even his father couldn't find any faults.

"Father, you don't have to worry too much about those things. After all, it's been so long. My new batch of maids is also given by Sister Carlotta. It's impossible for things like before to happen again."

Elena expressed her relief at the right time, expressing that she had already relaxed after venting her depression.

Kantor stared at Elena for a while after hearing the words, his green eyes were half downcast, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he spoke slowly for a moment.

"I'll continue to track down..."

"Also, you seem to be in frequent contact with Count Carlotta recently?"

Being in a high position, Cantor is naturally familiar with the turmoil in the political situation.

"Well, I have done a lot of reckless things, which made Sister Carlota sad..."

Elena once again used what she said to Carlotta that night, and even she herself believed the sincere performance. After hearing this, Cantor didn't speak for a long time, and was even more surprised by Elena's performance in his heart.

In the past, Eileen would not have let the poisoner go so easily, nor would she have admitted her mistakes so frankly, and most of the time she would have fooled the poisoner by acting coquettishly and interrupting.

Since the moment he adopted Elena, Cantor has been reluctant to preach to this friend's daughter, let alone get angry with her. Give him a headache.

Now that there is a change, Cantor is of course happy, but then he thinks of another thing.

"I hear you are very fond of the eldest Bulstrode. Is that true?"
