Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

Of course, there is also Princess Elena. Although the other party prevented her from enrolling in the first time, she also gave her a job and a foothold in the imperial capital. Deal with people here.

Rather than saying that she likes Post City, it's not that Testia prefers getting along with Princess Elena.

Yes, she loves being with Princess Elena.

Realizing this, Testia's inner shyness eased a little, she put on the white silk gently, and gently pulled the suture at the tip of the sock with her fingers.

Her Highness Elena is so gentle...no one would hate being friends with her...

Feeling that Testia's mood suddenly changed again, Eileen narrowed her eyes, her slender eyelashes were illuminated by the sun, as if covered with a fine layer of golden sand.

Although I don't understand the reason for Testia's sudden joy, judging from the results, her hard work during this period has indeed paid off, and the favorability of the Destiny's heroine has remained at a relatively stable level.

"If you like, you can take more time to go out and see the customs and customs of the imperial capital." Elena touched her collar, her tone low.

At seventeen or eighteen years old, Elena didn't want Testia to stay in the palace every day, except for reading and serving, without any entertainment.

But considering the identity of the other party, going out alone is not sure what unexpected plots will be encountered, Elena added in time.

"Of course, all this needs to be based on the fact that I also have time."

The implication is that if Testia wants to go out, she must be accompanied.

After hearing this, Testia nodded obediently, and besides joy, there was also an imperceptible sense of loss in her eyes: "Well, I see, thank you Your Highness Elena."

He didn't let her go out alone because he was afraid that she would have an accident, or because he was worried that she would meet someone she shouldn't meet.

After thinking about it for a moment, the latter probably accounted for more, but Testia believed that at least part of the reason Her Highness Elena said this was because she cared about her safety.

Just a little bit is fine, she's not that greedy.

Seeing Testia changed her clothes, Elena stood up and spoke slowly.

"Come on, follow me to the library."

She has finished reading the books on Delphis' side, and she wants to add some more inventory, and by the way, select useful books in a targeted manner, trying to let Delphis understand the operating principles of the state machine in advance, and lay the foundation for her future leadership.

"His Highness Elena...won't you take a nap first?"

"Let's talk about it when we come back, let's go to the library first."

"As you order, Your Highness Elena."

Looking at Testia who was putting on her little leather shoes and arranging her appearance in front of the mirror, Elena gently smoothed the hem of her skirt, opened a pair of beautiful black silk legs, and left the bedroom gently.

It really is a stupid maid, she only catches up on sleep in the morning, how can she be so lack of sleep.

Half an hour later, in the Royal Library of the Callist Empire, Elena found a few books she wanted among the bookshelves.

The first is the "General History of the Empire" about the royal family and the four duke families, the second is "Money and Economy" about the operation of the market, and the third is the "Imperial Code" formulated and issued by the emperor, from which we can understand the politics of the entire country Institutions are of great help in analyzing power structures.

In addition to these practical books, Elena also selected one or two philosophical books to ensure that Delphis is not partial to science and can develop in a balanced way on multiple levels.

"Testia, have you chosen yet?"

"Choose it."

Looking back at the things in Testia's arms, there is a theoretical book on the release of knight's spiritual power, and the other is "Battle Skills and Breath Covering".

This little girl is really trying to become stronger all the time, no wonder she can become the protagonist of the whole book.

After showing the book loan voucher, Elena took Testia out of the library and returned to the bedroom, just in time to run into Catherine after the negotiation was over.

"Miss Elena, the matter is settled."

"Thank you, Catherine."

"It's my honor to be able to share my worries for Miss."

Looking at the loyal head maid in front of her, Elena thought for a moment, and really couldn't bear to continue oppressing her.

"Testia, pour me a cup of black tea. Besides, Catherine should take a nap."

The head maid did not ask why, but continued to explain the content of the discussion just now. After Elena listened, the tea made by Testia also arrived. She glanced at the wall clock at a quarter to three, and then let the two maids go back to their rooms to rest.

"As you order, Her Royal Highness/Miss Elena."

After the people left, Elena sat down at the desk, took a sip of milk tea, first lamented that Testia's craftsmanship became more and more exquisite, then took out a stack of parchment from the drawer, and painted on the surface.

Since Delphis had promised to accompany her all day, she had to make preparations in advance, and the two of them couldn't just sit face to face in a daze.

Although I feel that with Delphis' clinginess to An Nuo, if she really wants to sit in a daze, the other party probably won't refuse, but will ask her for a hug with special enthusiasm.

While cutting the paper, while thinking about Delphis in the castle, Elena caught a glimpse of the canvas laying flat on the table from the corner of her eye, and an elegant blonde woman jumped out of the paper.

It turned out that in the eyes of Delphis, An Nuo looked like this.

Raising her hand to touch the canvas, the slightly rough surface brought fine grains to her fingertips. Elena took a deep breath and continued to focus on the handwork in front of her.

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

A few days later, Elena got Mercer's final draft and delivered it to the rubbing staff for printing together with Delphis' architectural drawing.

Similar to text rubbing, pattern rubbing also uses rubbing magic, but compared with using only one ink, rubbing with multiple pigments requires more mental energy. In order to prevent different dyes from mixing with each other randomly, It also requires rubbing workers to focus more on their work and not make any mistakes.

As the samples came out, Elena met with Claire again, and exchanged with her the sales details of the first batch of newspapers.

"Her Highness Elena means that the price should be set high first to create a gimmick, and then consider whether to adjust the price based on the sales results?"

Because they are targeting the minority aristocratic class in the empire. This type of people has the characteristic that they are not short of money. No matter how expensive a newspaper is, it is no more expensive than a piece of jewelry or a mink coat. For these people, the price is slightly higher It's not an excessive shortcoming, but it may arouse their curiosity.

"Not bad." Elena took a sip of hot tea and nodded slightly.

"Since we have decided to take the high-end route, at least we can't fall behind in terms of price."

In her previous life, Eileen was an absolute pragmatist. She cared more about the practicality of things than the added value of things, so she would not easily fall into the price trap of merchants.

And noble ladies in this world generally love all kinds of luxury goods. The added value they pursue for such objects may sometimes far exceed their own. In the final analysis, nobles just use them to show their nobility and wealth. The common people widened the gap, and everything in their eyes was fragrant.

Realizing that Elena was going to use the Bulstrode family's usual method of price speculation in selling luxury goods, Claire touched her glasses and spoke calmly.

"In this way, what Her Highness Elena wants to do is the same as ours."

Claire has been deeply involved in the market for many years, so she naturally knows what those noble ladies want. As early as when Elena was negotiating the deal with her, she had already considered how to publicize it.

"Take the elite route to raise the price, suppress the goods first and not send them out, increase publicity, and at the same time arrange manpower to create the illusion of consumption."

"Just imagine if all the good sisters around you have a copy of the Empire Monthly, which girl would not be curious and wish she had a copy?"

After hearing Claire's words, Elena bent her lips and showed a faint smile.

"I only thought about it a little bit, but I didn't expect Professor Claire to think much more profoundly than me~"

Did you really not think of it?

Claire looked at the elegant silver-haired princess in front of her, with lingering doubts in her heart.

Volume 149: Chapter 140 Chapter 3 The younger sister is obviously more important (5k[-])

Callist Empire, Post City, on a sunny morning, Seri had breakfast served by the servants, closed her eyes and lay lazily on the armchair, listening to the maids tell the stories in the book to her. listen to yourself.

As the second lady of the Marquis family, apart from having to attend the magic courses offered by the Isabeth School of Magic, Selly spends the rest of her time like other noble ladies, either obsessed with dressing up, listening to scriptures idly, or looking for a family. Drinking tea in the afternoon tea restaurant fully demonstrates the word "leisure" all the time.

"There was a bang, and the pen in the woman's hand suddenly became bigger, drawing a huge basin in midair..."

"...In the blink of an eye, countless emerald coins appeared in the basin, almost flooding the entire room."

Listening to the servants telling short folk tales written in books, Seri stroked her hair, tapped her fingers heavily on the desk, and spoke in an arrogant tone.

"By the way, is the Empire Monthly that I asked you to pay attention to earlier, is it on sale today?"

Hearing the master's words, the maid beside Seri trembled slightly, and answered in a low voice for a moment.

"Miss Reply, the Empire Monthly has been reprinted and is currently on sale."

Sally's eyes were slightly stunned when she heard the words, and a look of joy soon appeared on her cheeks: "Then have you bought it yet?"

"No..."

"Why don't you go buy it soon?"

There was strong impatience in the woman's voice, and the maid hurriedly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Seri, let's go now."

As the flustered footsteps went away, the maid disappeared from Sally's sight. The latter took a sip of the tea handed by the servant, and continued to listen to the story leisurely with her legs up.

The Empire Monthly is a novelty that has only recently appeared in the eyes of nobles. It is said to be a half-monthly publication that was founded by a mysterious member of the royal family and sold on behalf of the Bulstrode family through cooperation.

Serlie had never heard of this type of reading material before, and she was very curious at the beginning. Although the price of the newspaper was expensive, she couldn't bear her strong desire to explore. She was just about to arrange someone to buy it. Knowing that the goods are in short supply, the person in charge of sales said that the first edition of the Empire Monthly has been sold out.

Knowing this news, Seri's curiosity became more and more intense, especially when she heard her good girlfriends inadvertently discussing the content of the book the next day, the embarrassment that she couldn't get involved was close to that of Yu Yisha. At the gate of Beth Magic Academy, Irene gave a warning in front of the public.

Although Seri doesn't like Elena in her heart, due to her power, she must try her best to please the princess of the empire, and the other party's super good looks that attract people's attention no matter where she goes has aroused Seri's heartfelt desire envy.

If only she could be as beautiful as Princess Elena.

Based on this idea, Seri often imitates Elena's dressing style when she is not in the same frame, as if by doing so, she can briefly overlap with that figure and become the second card recognized by the public. Rist gem.

Therefore, after hearing that the Empire Monthly had the clothes provided by Elena, Seri's desire to buy became stronger than ever. She even thought about borrowing clothes from her good sister, However, as a nobleman, she was too embarrassed to put down her airs to say that, and after hesitating, she heard the news that the publication had been reprinted.

The contents of the newly sold newspapers and periodicals are the same as the original editions, and the price has not been raised at all. This seemingly ordinary operation gave Seri a feeling that she would lose money if she didn’t buy it any more, so she specially arranged people to keep an eye on it, and was ready to buy it at any time. .

Seri, who only spends her time drinking tea and chatting every day, of course doesn't know that all of this is actually just a marketing method used by the Bulstrode family. The steps are all under Claire's behest, a way to stimulate consumption.

The novelty of the first edition of the book is novelty, but it is not enough for all the nobles to buy it. In addition to expressing her approval for Claire's creation of an atmosphere that everyone buys, Elena also proposed another way of publicity that idols drive consumption, that is, to release news. It is said that the emperor of the Callist Empire is also buying this newspaper and is full of praise for its content.

With such a spread, everyone who knows about the newspaper should not refuse to spend a small amount of money to see if the newspaper is as magical as the rumors say.

As for how many customers can be retained, it depends on how attractive the newspaper itself is and whether it can attract customers to continue to buy and read.

Half an hour later, the maid walked into the room with a light publication and handed it to Seri respectfully.

"Miss Selly, this is the reprinted Empire Monthly, please have a look."

After taking the book, Seri excitedly opened the first page, and her eyes fell on the paper, which was the outfit recommendation she was most interested in.

Today's recommended outfit is the daily outfit submitted by the princess of the empire, the third princess Elena...

Serlie carefully read the contents of the newspaper, and just thought that it was a pity that there was no accompanying picture, so it was not very intuitive to see. When she turned the page, she saw an effect picture printed on the paper. A woman in a white shirt and black skirt The silver-haired woman stood under the light, exuding a noble and elegant aristocratic temperament.

This painting is not printed on the surface of the parchment, but on the layer of thin drawing paper that is close to the parchment. The two are closely attached, and they are integrated from the side.

Sally looked at the painting, then glanced back at the words, secretly thinking about what she would look like when she put on this suit, and she had the illusion that she was standing in front of the person she had a crush on so prettyly, Feeling the hot and strong liking from the other party, and an indescribable astonishment hidden in his eyes.

Maybe she could really try out the suit, just with a little tweaking of the details.

While thinking this way, she continued to read the newspapers. The follow-up module was jewelry appreciation. Seri glanced at the marked writer. He was a well-known jewelry appraisal master in the imperial capital and the only master-level auctioneer designated by the Honeysuckle Chamber of Commerce.

After reading the first two sections, the following is some current affairs news. Seri is not interested in these, and turning back is a cold architectural painting. Although the impact is strong, it is not the type that Seri likes.

The last is a serialized story, which is also the part that Seri has heard the most from her sisters.

The title of the article is "The Domineering Prince and the Peerless Favor of His Newly Escaped Wife".

Since it is the first edition of the newspaper, Elena put a lot of effort into this novel in order to catch the readers' attention. The first is the introduction. The contrast between the present and the future of a domineering prince attracts people to continue reading.

The second is the length. In pursuit of allowing readers to have a deeper sense of substitution, Elena increased the amount of space invested. The content of the first chapter of this novel is about four times the amount of text in other single modules. Suspense, that is, who is the little girl that the domineering prince met when he was three years old, and why their token of love is on another person.

Serlie read it sentence by sentence, and her thoughts gradually sank into it, as if she was the heroine in the story.

"That little girl is obviously the heroine, but the prince couldn't recognize her... and even mistook this person for her..."

"It's so domineering...but he's so handsome..."

"How did this gem get on that guy, the hero can't look carefully..."

I have to say that although Elena felt that the plot she wrote was too routine when she wrote the story, for these noble girls who are just beginning to love, this novel is a fairy-level reading material, and the Huaichun girls who have never read the relevant plots will inevitably be confused. I was scratched by the exquisite plot arrangement.

Seeing the last line of words, she turned back and found nothing. Seri, who was still full of thoughts, froze for a moment, as if the halfway of her thoughts had been cut off in mid-air.

"Why is it gone?!"

The next page was at the bottom of the newspaper, and the parchment was strung together with slender ropes through the holes, binding them into a complete booklet.

After confirming that she has no follow-up plot to read, Seri turned back to the end of the novel, looking at the to-be-continued and next part preview indicated by the line of tiny words.

The charming wife failed to escape and was imprisoned by the prince. She angrily scolded why she refused to let her go even though she didn't love her. What was the prince's answer to this? ? ?

Staring at the small print, looking back and forth as if she could see the flowers, Seri hurriedly turned to the front, looking for the release time of the next newspaper.

The next issue of the Empire Monthly will be on June [-]th, so stay tuned.

Seri looked at the content of the newspaper, feeling as if something was scratching her heart, and it was uncomfortably itchy.

She wants to read the next chapter now, to know what the prince said, how to get back the heroine in the future, and what twists and turns will follow.
