Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

Is Byron still there?Elena slightly raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and her red pupils unconsciously glanced at Testia, with a hint of complexity in her eyes.

It stands to reason that Byron should have gotten tired of his villainous princess by now. Claire, who is proficient in potions and a member of the Bulstrode family, is enough to see this kind of activity that is far from business negotiations. He will do it. What.

It is worthy of the heroine halo that comes with the heroine of Destiny... A lot of side plots can be unfolded anytime and anywhere...

Although Earl Byron, who was born in aristocratic family, and Testia, who grew up in a commoner family, have similar views on many things, sometimes they have fundamentally different practices. The reason why the author, although he respected Byron, never intended to spend the rest of his life with him.

Thinking of Byron who was infatuated with Testia in the original novel, Elena couldn't help but sigh in her heart, no matter how affectionate a person is, if he doesn't match the three views of the person he likes, he can only touch himself after all.

Noticing Elena's eyes on her cheeks, and the person the other party just mentioned, Testia rubbed the hem of her skirt, looked down at the pair of black maid shoes under her body, and after a few seconds whisper.

"His Royal Highness Elena, should I... avoid it..."

Although this wasn't the one-on-one meeting mentioned in the agreement, when thinking of Elena's attitude towards Earl Byron, Testia still felt that she had to ask a question.

She didn't want Princess Elena to misunderstand, and she didn't want the latter to hate her.

Elena retracted her gaze when she heard this, and the corners of her lips curved gracefully.

"It's okay, just follow me, don't make any noise."

"Another point, does Miss Testia think I'm that unconfident?"

Obviously, Byron is not a love brain in the original book, and he didn't show too much impatience in the interview last time. If the man really came here for Testia, then she should take a good look at him instead.

After hearing Elena's words, Testia raised her eyes and looked at the woman's face that was even more charming because of the smile on her lips. Her enchanting and charming figure was perfectly wrapped in a luxurious black princess dress. The pure black tie encircles the willow waist, and the skirt is slightly raised, revealing two slender and charming black silk legs.

Her Highness Eileen really has the capital to say so, but she just went to this stop, no matter how you look at it, it gives people an extremely amazing feeling, worthy of the reputation of "Jewel of the Calliste Empire".

Testia thought to herself, if she was Earl Byron, knowing what kind of character Elena was and still liked her so much, there was a high probability that she would choose to marry her.

She is gentle, beautiful and has eyes full of your princess, Testia really can't find any reason to refuse.

Seeing Testia standing on the spot with erratic eyes, Elena casually reminded her to follow closely, and then walked towards the alchemy workshop with long legs.

"...Okay, okay, Your Highness Elena."

Realizing her absurd idea, Testia's cheeks blushed slightly, but she quickly recovered, and accompanied Elena into the medicine refining workshop with Catherine.

"Your Highness Elena, this is where the perfume will be refined next. Professor Claire is in the lounge behind."

Passing through a long and narrow corridor, Elena came to a magical alchemy workshop. The accompanying attendants led the way and introduced the equipment. After entering the room for less than half a minute, Claire sensed that there was a visitor. Glasses walked out of the room.

"Your Highness Elena, welcome to the alchemy workshop of the Bulstrode family."

Before the woman finished speaking, there was a crisp sound of high heels behind her. The next second, a beauty with black hair that Elena didn't expect walked out of the lounge.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, little Irene. I heard that you are not too busy recently. Why don't you come to the academy to see me?"

Carlota is wearing a dark purple silk long dress. The close-fitting fabric design perfectly highlights the owner's exquisite figure. The slender and smooth jade legs are slightly exposed under the skirt, and the calves sway gently. With a slight smile.

Elena blinked when she heard the words, and didn't know how to reply to Carlotta for a while, so she took a step forward, opened her arms, and hugged Carlota gently.

"Sister Carlotta is beautiful again."

He embraced Wenxiang Nephrite who was close by, and after a few seconds, Carlota slowly let go, looked at the silver-haired girl with delicate features in front of her, and said with a smile.

"Little Irene's mouth is still so sweet, but she doesn't usually make any moves. If Claire didn't mention calling you to come and cut the ribbon, I would have planned to go to the palace myself."

Carlotta has been busy looking up information and analyzing the formation of the barrier during this time, and she usually has to attend classes, so she just took out half a day of free time recently. Hearing that Elena is coming, she went back to the manor, changed her clothes, and went with her friends Alchemy workshop.

"It's my fault that I'm so busy sleeping and sleeping these days that I forgot to go to the academy to walk around more, but if Sister Carlota can come, I will naturally welcome her."

Smelling the faint scent of roses on Carlotta's body, Elena responded with a slight smile, and the snow-white catkin wrapped in black silk gloves gently approached her shoulders, brushing away a few strands of silver hair hanging on her chest.

It seems that the other party really likes that perfume.

"Sister Carlotta, I will give you two more bottles of the same perfume as compensation for not visiting in the past few days. What do you think?"

Although she knew that Carlota was joking with her and didn't mean to be angry, but seeing that the other party liked the perfume she made so much, Elena didn't mind preparing some more, as a reward for Carlota's care and love for her. care.

The woman shook her head without thinking when she heard the words, and responded softly: "Forget it."

"One birthday gift is enough, but if you have more, you will lose the most important uniqueness, and become less special and precious than before."

If there was only one bottle, every time Carlotta saw it, she would think that it was the perfume Elena made for her.

Elena bent her lips and smiled, expressing her understanding.

"It's..."

However, even the once world-renowned perfume master, Elena, did not think of a deeper level - Carlotta specially sprayed perfume today to meet her.

Claire on the side watched the intimate interaction between Elena and Carlota, the transparent glasses reflected light slightly under the light, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the relationship between these two is really better than a year ago, and both It's almost time for the couple's honeymoon period.

After exchanging a few words with Carlotta, Elena did not forget the purpose of her trip, and just turned her head when she saw a young man coming out of the next room. Byron was wearing a loose long coat, with a handsome face and a heroic air.

Seeing Testia obediently standing upright beside Elena, the man's deep eyes were slightly moved, but he quickly moved away from the girl's cheek, and landed on the silver-haired princess in front of Catherine's right.

"Meet you again, Your Highness Elena."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Byron."

Different from the warm hug with Carlota, the communication between Elena and Byron was much colder. They just greeted each other briefly. Since no one took the initiative, the two of them didn't even shake hands.

Could it be that she wants to play hard-to-get tricks again?

Looking at Elena with a calm expression, Earl Byron felt good about himself, completely unaware that the person he was facing now might really not have a good feeling for him.

But in the end, it’s no wonder Earl Byron thinks so. The original owner’s previous actions are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which also makes it hard for him to believe that the princess of the empire, who had exhausted all means to marry him more than a month ago, has gone through the night. Between them they changed their minds.

It's possible, but extremely slim.

On the other side, Testia also pursed her lips, her eyes resting on Elena's back with extremely complicated eyes.

Why... She felt that Elena didn't seem to like Earl Byron as much as rumored...

The indifference shown by the other party just now, is she feeling wrong?

Just when her eyes were about to touch Byron Bulstrode, Testia hurriedly turned her eyes away to prevent herself from looking at the graceful young earl.

It should be that she felt wrong, otherwise she would not be kept by Elena's side at all, and the treaty strictly stipulated that she would not be allowed to contact Earl Byron.

Even if Princess Elena doesn't mention it, she should try to keep a distance from Byron. It's best not to even look at it, so as to minimize her sense of existence.

Testia is an obedient maid who strictly abides by the contract.

I briefly greeted Earl Byron, and then came to the hidden danger investigation link. Elena mentioned some issues about the standardization of equipment when submitting the perfume preparation plan, but it is difficult to achieve the level of the previous life with the current level of technology. A degree of precision.

What's more, she is a noble princess and not a professional craftsman. It is unreasonable and impossible to draw a structural diagram for Claire to compare and prepare. Therefore, based on the original refining equipment, Elena made a lot of corresponding The simplified operation, although it looks a bit simple, but it is very effective to use.

A squeezer for extracting essential oils, a glass dish for precipitating impurities, an airtight container for aging essences, and a metal filter with small enough holes... Claire's business actions are really fast...

Elena checked one by one to make sure that there was no potential hidden danger affecting the finished perfume. She stepped on the diamond-encrusted high heels all the way from the beginning to the end of the assembly line, and said with a slight nod.

"As expected of the Bulstrode family, their business affairs are not ambiguous at all."

Originally Elena thought that she would have to find out some faults, but the result was completely beyond her expectations.

"Perfume making and potion making also have something in common in some aspects. I have carefully studied Her Highness Elena's paper description, and learned some things that I hadn't considered before. That's why I was able to build the equipment so smoothly. "Claire added in due course.

In her eyes, the perfume trade is to obtain higher turnover at a lower cost than potions. Elena's formula does not use particularly expensive ingredients for preparation, and each ingredient plays a proper role, almost impossible. Instead, the remaining place to save money is human resources.

Claire is keenly aware of one point, that is, some steps in the process of making perfume can be replaced by spiritual power, but when it comes to spiritual power, senior apprentices and above magicians are required to participate in the production, and the price will be qualitatively different. If it is raised, the cost will also far exceed her expected plan.

Compared with hiring apprentices, ordinary people who participate in the work through a fixed process are obviously more suitable for this line of work.

"We have already made some finished products here, Her Highness Elena can smell them for herself."

As soon as Claire finished speaking, Byron waved his hand to signal the servant to come forward. Elena looked at the perfume bottle on the tray, took it with her hand, took off the cork and put it in front of Joan's nose to sniff.

There is a light mint fragrance, which is sweet and dry, and the middle tone turns into a lingering iris scent, which lasts for a long time, and then there is the scent of light salt grass after deodorization treatment, and the clean and pure sea salt scent spreads in the space , smelling it will make people feel relaxed.

After a while, Elena put down the perfume and said calmly, "The fragrance is acceptable, and the quality is above average."

Without the participation of mental power, it is quite good to be able to make such a finished product with only ordinary people and some simple tools.

Claire nodded thoughtfully, and then exchanged glances with Byron: "Maybe the purification step is not done well, I'll see if I can continue to improve."

After listening to Claire's words, Elena nodded her head lightly, a little light flickered in her bright red eyes.

The assembly line composed of equipment and workers in the medicine refining workshop has already taken the prototype of large-scale machine production in later generations, but because there is magic in the world in the book, and the noble lords almost monopolize this powerful and mysterious power, it can be considered to some extent Inhibition of some technological development.

After all, what can be easily done with magic, why invest a lot of money, time and energy to develop so-called substitutes.

Looking at the workers standing in front of the work table carefully arranging the raw materials, and their necks sweating slightly due to the sweltering heat in the room, Elena thought of the self-heating bathtub with temperature control at any time in her bedroom and the water that can be touched whenever she touches it. A water attribute crystal that can produce water.

Suppression is suppression, the spark of wisdom will always burst out inadvertently, and no one can stop the inevitable process of progress in production methods.

Of course, there may be some deviations in the specific direction of follow-up development, just like the magic device that Carlota is currently researching, using the magic spar engraved with the magic circle as power, bringing various conveniences to people's daily life.

Maybe this world will have a completely different development path from the previous life, with magic as the mainstay and machinery as a supplementary, closer to steampunk where technology and magic coexist in fantasy novels.

Unknowingly thinking a lot, Eileen smiled lightly, secretly thinking that today's Calliste Empire is obviously similar to Europe at the end of the Middle Ages, those things that can improve life can only be enjoyed by nobles, their minds have not yet been liberated, and the real industrial revolution has yet to come. In a very raw embryonic stage.

Inadvertently seeing the seriousness in Elena's eyes, and the more charming snow-white face when she was thinking, Testia's eyes were lost in thought, and when she realized it, she happened to collide with Earl Byron, who also averted his gaze in mid-air , she immediately lowered her head, not looking at each other.

Byron was surprised by his gaffe, he thought Princess Elena was quite pleasing to the eye just now, and when he turned his eyes, he saw the gentle and pure maid again. Captured the slight invisible repulsion in the eyes.

Is he... hated?

Thinking that Testia was obviously her sister's savior, but she was implicated by him in the end, Byron was calm on the surface, but he sighed silently in his heart.

From his point of view, Eileen's aim at Testia was all due to his trivial behavior that night. Although Byron's original intention was to invite the latter to dance together, it did cause Testia to become It became the target of Princess Elena to vent her dissatisfaction.

Byron did not fail to take remedial measures. This can be seen from the fact that he followed Lena's suggestion and arranged for people to protect Testia's parents. However, he is only the heir of the family, not the real head of the family, and does not have enough energy Fell out with Elena on the bright side.

After hesitating for a while, Byron gave up the idea of ​​talking to Testia. Judging from the current situation, the more he communicates with Testia, the easier it is to arouse Elena's disgust. Be less targeted.

At the same time, Testia, who was looking down at the ground, had no idea that Earl Byron had already imagined the scene of her being tortured by Elena. Erase, while silently thinking about the unhappiness she felt when she saw Byron staring at Elena just now.

That's weird...why is she a little uncomfortable...

Testia is very clear that she has no so-called anger thoughts towards Earl Byron, not to mention that the other party is Lena's brother and has also participated in the protection of her parents, so she has no reason to reject him.

She doesn't like Earl Byron, but she can't say that she hates it anyway...how could this be...

Testia has never been in a relationship, but she also knows that this kind of emotion is not the jealousy that a person she likes should have when looking at other girls, but a feeling of being very upset and wanting to drive the other girl out of here.

It's so weird.

"His Royal Highness Elena, if you are sure there is nothing wrong... you can proceed to the next link now..."

Claire's words brought everyone's thoughts back to the alchemy workshop. Elena smiled and nodded after hearing this, and straightened her collar with her jade hands.

"Well, speaking of it, I haven't cut ribbons since I was a child."

In previous lives, there was usually a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of a store or the launch of a ship. I didn't expect that there would be a similar ceremony for the completion of a factory here.

"In this way, this is the first ribbon-cutting ceremony in Princess Elena's life, and I'm really flattered."

Claire handed the scissors to Elena, and led her to the end of the assembly line, in front of a long cabinet used to store the production proceeds.

The metal storage cabinet was blocked from the outside by a colorful ribbon, and Elena could see that every counter was cleaned and spotless.

"Troubleshooting requires Her Royal Highness Elena to check closely, and it is not suitable for subsequent actions, so I selected the ribbon-cutting location here."

Claire's voice was calm, and she gently lifted the glasses frame with her index finger.

"The place is not big, but it is very suitable for ribbon-cutting."

Holding the slightly cool scissor handles, Eileen turned her head and glanced back. Everyone present was focused on the scissors in her hands. Even the usually unsmiling head maid raised her black pupils and looked at Irene seriously. Na.

"To celebrate our first cooperation." Elena said.

It is also to celebrate her successful connection with the Bulstrode family, and to add some political chips to Delphis' ruling career after she ascended the throne.

"Crack."

With a clear sound, the ribbons were scattered, and after a short silence, the silent alchemy workshop started today's perfume production.

Elena looked at the scene in front of her, and the corners of her lips raised a beautiful arc.

This is only a small step, but it is the beginning of all subsequent actions.

Volume 118: Chapter 110 Chapter 4 I just want to care about you ([-]k)

Watching Princess Elena get into the carriage, Claire turned her head to look at Earl Byron standing beside her, her thin lips slightly parted.

"Don't you dislike Princess Elena? Why did you take the initiative to come here today?"
