Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

There are also storage tools similar to space rings in this world, but the number is extremely rare. Looking at the entire Calliste Empire, there are very few, at most no more than ten fingers.

Among them, the more famous space storage tool is the imperial scepter that symbolizes the power of the empire. In addition to the gems inlaid on it, it can dispel magic in a certain area, and it is also a storage device with a huge space.

In fact, Carlotta also has a tool that can store objects, but her gem has a very small storage space, which is not worth mentioning when compared with the imperial staff.

As for the heroine of Destiny, Testia, her natal weapon "Holy and Flawless Sword of Light" is a space memory with a transfiguration function. The actual capacity is only slightly inferior to the Royal Staff, but it is definitely enough.

Judging from the worldview shown in the original book, it is not surprising that space storage devices are scarce. After all, if a magician wants to get in touch with concepts related to space and time, his own strength must be above that of a senior legendary mage. This threshold alone That's enough to keep most people out.

It's a pity...otherwise she wouldn't need to be so troublesome now...

The setting sun outside the window was slightly intoxicating, and the dark red light fell on the gemstone pendant on Eileen's chest. The deep red crystal stone seemed to have a stream flowing quietly, projecting fine and tiny red rays on the girl's snow-white skin.

After a while, Catherine packed up her things and stood there waiting for orders. Seeing this, Elena parted her pink lips lightly.

"Go back to your room and rest for a while, and come to my bedroom at nine o'clock."

"Understood, Miss Elena."

Watching Catherine leave the boudoir, Elena rested her cheek on the desk with one hand, her eyes fell on the canvas to be given to Delphi tonight, her thoughts wandered aimlessly.

Sometimes I think about the struggle between Delphis and the two princes for the throne, sometimes I think about the plot of Testia's next move, and sometimes I think about the current transaction between her and the Bulstrode family. A bunch of things are like a ball of yarn. entangled together.

Although they have already established a line with Claire, but to truly gain the support of the Bulstrode family, they still need to connect more ties of interest.

Looking across the canvas, Eileen's slender fingers tapped her cheek lightly. Eileen narrowed her eyes and suddenly thought of something.

Standing up, a pair of smooth and tender black silk legs straightened slightly, Elena reached out to touch the canvas, and then glanced at the parchment next to her, and soon had a new idea in her mind.

At the end of the Middle Ages, the Calliste Empire was still using primitive parchment as a writing material. This kind of paper limited the dissemination of information to a certain extent. Logically speaking, there was no soil for newspapers and magazines to be created here.

However, there are exceptions to everything. Just like Claire targeted the aristocratic consumer groups of perfumes from the very beginning, Elena can also focus on the high-end market and carry out targeted sales.

Just now that Claire has not started selling perfume, she can also try to use this brand new way to help promote it.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the feasibility was not low. Elena sat back in her seat, her eyes changed slightly, her jade fingers tapped on the table lightly.

Setting up a newspaper for the aristocratic class can not only increase the popularity of the product through advertising, but also increase her bargaining chip in communicating with the Bulstrode family. In addition, there is another potential public opinion value.

Whether it is fighting political opponents or clearing up grievances, as long as this power is firmly in the hands, it can often play a role that is difficult to ignore.

With a rough idea in mind, Elena decided to test Kantor's opinion tomorrow, and then gradually improve the plan.

If everything goes well, not only will the subsequent perfume transaction go smoothly, but the mature intelligence system will also become a potential force for Delphis to compete with the four major lord families after she becomes emperor.

When Catherine came over on time, Elena immediately instructed her to pay more attention to the news of the Imperial Capital during this time, and at the same time began to prepare relevant personnel.

"His Royal Highness Elena..."

Catherine paused when she heard the words, and reminded her calmly.

"We don't have that much money to do these things at the moment."

Volume 124: Chapter 110 Chapter 4 Chapter [-] Try it ([-]k)

The distribution of newspapers and periodicals requires fixed sales channels, the collection of intelligence requires sufficient contacts and manpower, and the purchase of paper and binding requires a lot of money. These three points alone can stop most people.

The first two items are not difficult for Elena. She can use the Bulstrode family as a channel, and she has the loyal maid provided by Carlotta, not to mention the connections. No matter what, she is the imperial princess who is most favored by Kantor. With this level of official status, most nobles and wealthy businessmen are willing to sell her a little bit of face.

Only money, Elena is really short at the moment, in order to meet with Delphis every night, she drinks those one-way illusion potions one after another, even taking Catherine's own small treasury. Hollowed out by her.

A clever woman can't live without rice, and Elena also knew that she couldn't settle the matter with a knock on her head, so she ignored the objective conditions and left all the difficulties of implementation to Catherine. After thinking for a while, she took out a few jewelry boxes from the desk drawer , looked through it carefully and handed it to the head maid, and said softly.

"Catherine, first take these jewels to refurbish, and then sell them all. The money you get will be used to make up your own account first, and the rest will be used to buy paper and labor expenses."

Although the original owner liked to spend ahead of time, she didn't waste the money as paper. The jewelry and clothes she bought over the years could roughly fill up half of the bedroom, and it was definitely enough to sell them to ease the financial pressure.

"Miss Elena... are you sure you don't want all of these?"

Although Eileen had changed a lot recently, Catherine remembered how enthusiastic the other party was about these luxury goods in the past, but now she wanted to sell them all in one go, which really surprised her.

"Well, if it's not enough, sell these too."

After she finished speaking, Elena dug out a large pile of jewelry from the cabinet, warm and smooth jade, dazzling necklaces, and the girl's boudoir under the moonlight was covered with all kinds of rare treasures.

If it wasn't too awkward to take out, and they were all tailor-made, Eileen would even plan to sell the luxurious palace dresses in the closet along with jewelry.

Feeling that Eileen's attitude was firm, and she didn't have the slightest nostalgia for these jewelry, Catherine nodded slightly, and said softly.

"Understood, Miss Elena."

Seeing Catherine packing these jewels into boxes one by one, Eileen also nodded, her pink lips parting slightly.

"Thank you, Catherine."

It really saved her a lot of heart to have such a head maid who worked hard and was 100% loyal to her at the beginning.

"This is what I should do." Catherine's tone was still as flat as before, and her jet-black pupils were as deep as the sea.

Elena glanced at the wall clock, and tidied up her loose silver hair casually, with a soft voice.

"Bring your stuff, we're about to go."

I will go to Kantor and Claire to discuss the matter of occupying the high ground of public opinion tomorrow, and the most urgent thing now is to go to Delphi.

Children who lack love since childhood generally cherish those hard-won promises more than their peers. She just promised this blonde loli yesterday, saying that she would try her best to come to the castle to see her every night, and she could not break the promise casually.

Leaving the room, the master and servant stepped on the soft carpet towards the end of the corridor. The faint scent of grass and trees in the air has a unique calming effect, which makes people feel relaxed.

This is the tribute handed over to Kantor by the lords of the empire every year, and he also specially arranged for someone to send some to Elena.

Smelling the fragrance in the corridor, Elena couldn't help thinking that the original owner who was doted on by the emperor and Delphis were completely two extremes, so it's no wonder that they didn't deal with each other at all.

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

Late at night, in the ancient castle of Post City, Delphis sat in front of the drawing board for a long time without writing. The moonlight entered the room and shone on the girl's petite and thin body. Her thick golden hair hung down her waist like a waterfall, wrapping her delicate body tightly. The white nightgown is slightly transparent, and the two slender white and tender calves exude a porcelain white luster under the skirt.

Delphis looked at the dark clouds painted on the canvas, her arms were slightly bent, and the delicate white fingers were stained with paint because of holding the brush, which added a color that was completely different from the snow-white skin.

After an unknown amount of time, Delphis heard low footsteps outside the door, narrowed her eyes slightly, and pursed her cherry-pink lips slightly.

It's Annuo who's back.

Putting down the pen, Delphis supported the seat with both hands, and heard the footsteps in the corridor from far to near to the next door. Half a minute later, the footsteps reappeared, but they did not stop at her door as usual. Instead, he walked straight into the distance without any hesitation.

Anno...why don't you knock on the door...

She didn't hear the expected knock on the door, nor did the other party say good evening to Miss Delphis, who was as gentle as water. The blonde Loli frowned slightly, and looked at the door panel with doubtful eyes.

what is it today...

Delphis, who was not used to it, sat where she was, but adjusted her body, which was facing the canvas just now, to face the door.

As the sound of Elena's footsteps gradually faded away, the uneasiness in Delphis' heart became more and more intense, until the movement completely disappeared, the girl still restrained herself from standing up, and stared fixedly at the doorknob.

Should she go out and see?

After hesitating for a moment, Delphis continued to sit at the table without moving a muscle. She didn't know if it was a few minutes or more than half a century, and she heard the sound of boot heels hitting tiles in the corridor again.

It shouldn't be gone this time.

Just when Delphis was thinking this way, Elena passed by the door of her room again, turned to the side stairs without pausing for half a second, and continued to walk downstairs.

Delphis' painting utensils, tableware for eating, and ingredients necessary for hot pot, so many things Elena needs to send them up in three trips, and each time she has to climb five floors, such a high-strength Stair climbing is too difficult for a delicate princess and crispy mage.

Thanks to the fact that Delphis is all decorated with one-way translucent potions, Elena herself doesn't need to consider the so-called royal appearance and noble etiquette, so she doesn't dress as gorgeously as she did during the day. High heels, climbing stairs back and forth like this, she can really consider adding two recovery spells to relieve fatigue in addition to the lightness technique.

Walking to the sixth floor of the ancient castle, Anuo passed the bathroom with the canvas and dyes in his arms, and saw the door of Delphis' room was open, the lights were brightly lit, and the sound of running water could be heard.

The door was closed just now, did you come out to take a shower now?

Just as she was going to her room to put down her things, the door of the bathroom suddenly opened. Delphis stroked her somewhat wet hands, and looked quietly at An Nuo.

"Good evening, Miss Delphis." An Nuo greeted her with a smile.

Seeing the canvas held in the woman's arms, and the pretty face slightly flushed from climbing the stairs, Delphis paused and answered in a low voice.

"Good evening, Anno."

That's how it is... there are too many things to take in one trip...

Dispelling the unreasonable conjectures in her mind that drove her crazy, Delphis remained calm on the surface, but An Nuo took the initiative to speak.

"I arranged for someone to buy all the things on the list yesterday, and these are."

Noticing that Delphis's hands were wet, they should have just washed them, An Nuo was inconvenient to give her the canvas directly, so he asked softly.

"Shall I put you in your room?"

As soon as the woman's voice fell, the air paused for a few seconds. Anuo saw the entanglement in Delphis's eyes. Just when she thought the other party would refuse, the blond girl suddenly nodded.

"...Um."

After speaking, Delphis walked into the bedroom slowly, as if she hadn't said anything.

An Nuo looked at the girl's back, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and followed Delphis into the room.

Different from Testia's boudoir with floral fragrance, although Delphis's room also has a faint girlish body fragrance, it is more of a mixture of paint and ink.

Uncommon, but not particularly unpleasant.

An Nuo took a brief glance and then retracted his gaze, without looking around frivolously. Delphis stared deeply at this, and she didn't know whether she was happy with the politeness shown by the woman, or disappointed that the other party seemed to have no extra curiosity about her. .

"Just put it here..." Delphis said.

Anuo put the tools in the old box next to the desk according to Delphis's wishes. When Rhine saw someone, he ran over with short legs, and then was stopped by Delphis halfway, and let her wrap his arm Unable to move, he could only stare at An Nuo with his round eyes.

"Thank you." Delphis said.

An Nuo smiled sweetly when he heard the words, and said in a gentle tone, "It's a little effort, thank you."

Noticing that there was still an unfinished painting on the easel, An Nuo blinked and asked Delphi softly.

"Is this painting a painting of rain?"

The gloomy dark clouds continued, and the European-style buildings below seemed to be swallowed by darkness, and there was a tendency of mountain rain and wind to fill the buildings.

"Before the rain."

Delphis replied lightly, her pupils couldn't see her mood.

An Nuo looked at the painting a few more times after hearing the words, and nodded approvingly: "A very artistic painting...I'm looking forward to how it will look after it's finished..."

Apart from other things, An Nuo really appreciates the paintings of his god-sister.

The two casually chatted about some topics related to the painting. A few minutes later, An Nuo left Delphis' room. The latter looked at the door closed by the other party, thought for a moment, put down the orange cat, and opened the old door. wooden box.

The things she mentioned yesterday are all available here. Both the canvas and the brush are countless times better than what Delphis uses now. The comparison between the two is simply a difference.

Opening the small bottle of dye, Delphis took off the cork and carefully observed it, and put a little on the palette to make sure that the color in it was excellent without any impurities mixed in.

With these things, it is much easier for her to draw.

An Nuo really helped her choose the painting tools carefully.

The originally indestructible city wall in her heart was now crumbling. Delphis looked at the cold moonlight reflected on the canvas, and her heart beat like a drum.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever been able to treat her so delicately and tenderly. Even the so-called parents treat her with disgust and indifference. They never thought about who brought her into this world.

Regardless of whether An Nuo's heart is as gentle and soft as it appears on the outside, she really feels the care and attention from the other party's behavior. Based on this alone, she should also try to make herself believe in An Nuo and give Show the attitude she should have, like a friend.

The jade fingers clenched slightly, and the penholder in her hand became a little slippery. Delphis swallowed the incense slightly, and her heartbeat gradually stabilized.

Reason told her not to trust others easily, you don't know what An Nuo looks like outside the castle, and it's risky to do that.

Just the second after Delphis thought this way, there was another voice whispering softly in her heart.

Give it a try.

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

At the same time, Elena in the next room did not sit at the desk and read a book like before, but built the utensils bought by Catherine into a small stove-like structure with a pot on top and fire attribute crystals on the bottom. .

As a heat source for cooking things, the fire attribute crystal is simply the best choice for every chef. You only need to send a small amount of mental power to control the temperature flexibly. You don’t need to consider the temperature difference that tends to occur when burning firewood, and you don’t need to worry about a large amount of blindness. Human smoke.

After confirming that the built hot pot table is solid and won’t collapse easily, Elena went to the bathroom to get some water, then poured the self-made hot pot base ingredients prepared in advance into the cauldron to drive the spirit power to heat up.

As the dark red crystal stone at the bottom became brighter, a large number of fire attribute particles became active, and the heat was pulled by the spiritual force and evenly distributed on the bottom of the pot.

For the next half a year, Elena will often go in and out of the castle, and eating dry food for dinner every day will not last long. It just so happens that Delphis is so thin, and pulling her to eat some hot food will make the little girl grow taller. Second, it can also shorten the distance between each other.

Sometimes sitting together for a meal can indeed make the relationship between two people closer. This is engraved in the bones of human beings. Otherwise, there would not be so many dinner table business in the previous life, and her fellow villagers would not meet each other. Just ask the other party if they ate or not.

The bottom material melted in the pot, and the rich aroma gradually permeated every corner of the room. Elena looked at the tiny water bubbles at the bottom and felt that it was about time. She thawed the food next to her and prepared to go to the next door to knock Delphis Door.

Across the wall, Rhine smelled a little fragrance coming from the crack of the door, got up from the nest restlessly, approached the door and circled around, Delphis called it softly a few times, but the orange cat was unmoved, He even put his nose to the crack of the door while wagging his tail.
