In the Name of the Queen

"Can you really do it?"

Sif retracted her gaze from the scenery and looked at Roland with a complicated expression.

Promises are always simple, but implementation is too difficult.

Roland raised his arm in the Suwig Province and left the call for an eight-hour workday in the square, deafening.

Sif didn't understand why Roland was so persistent about this matter, but she didn't object.

If you can't understand Roland, then support him first and then slowly understand him later, instead of directly opposing him.

This is Sif's attitude.

Leaving the Suwig Province, the next stop is Emre Port.

This is an important hub connecting the mainland and overseas, and every time you come here, you have a different feeling.

This time, they will set sail from here, return to the mainland, and return to Emre Port again after completing the local tour, and finally end the journey at the holy spring on the shore of Lake Val.

Finally, they will quietly wait for the final moment in the White Mountains.

There are snow-capped mountains and a sea of ​​flowers.

The return day is getting closer and closer, and everyone in the game can clearly feel the gradually suffocating air.

They have no time to waste.

Facing Sif's question, Roland shook his head slowly.

"I'm afraid not. Capital is profit-seeking. It's better to kill them than to let them give up profits."

"Then are we too careless? If the publicly promulgated law cannot be implemented, it will damage the majesty of the law."

Sif thought of the law course that Alban gave her and was a little overwhelmed.

"That's true in general."

Roland said frankly: "But with you here, the situation is completely different. Those workers heard about the eight-hour work system from various channels, but their bosses refused to implement it. Who will they hate?"

"Boss." Sif answered immediately.

Roland smiled and nodded, without further explanation.

Sif is no longer a political novice now. Some words are clear at a glance, no need to say more.

The old era will eventually fall, Roland knows the answer, so he looks further.

Of course he has selfish motives. He hopes that he and Sif's descendants will have a ticket to the new era.

First-class ticket.

When the boss who sucks the marrow from the bones and the workers clash, someone will remember the person who raised his arms and shouted in the Pioneer Square to announce the eight-hour work system.

Even if she is the emperor.

At a certain point in the future, as long as his and Sif's descendants voluntarily give up power, they can get a good life and long-term respect.

As their ancestors, this legacy is much more precious than any title or territory.

As for whether this bill can be implemented, he is not optimistic at all.

It is not easy even in civilized times, let alone this barbaric era.

But some things must have a beginning.

With the eight-hour work system here, capitalists with a little conscience will use more gentle means to fight with other black-hearted capitalists.

Other factories have to work fourteen hours, and workers will die before they reach the age of thirty-five. My family only needs to work twelve hours!

Then my family ten hours!

As long as the capitalists are not allowed to form a joint force, they are a group of greedy and short-sighted mobs.

Give them a chance to roll inward, and they will roll up by themselves.

Looking at Sif in deep thought, Roland's lips rose slightly.

Although Sif is very smart, what happened these days is still a bit ahead of her.

"Roland, do you have any books on this subject?"

"Yes."

He took out a heavy book with the name hidden and handed it to Sif, then leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed the quietness of the night.

Whether Sif can understand it depends on her ability.

Anyway, he can't read it, just a little bit of the surface.

Stargazers are lonely.

When they look up at the stars, the worldly joys, sorrows, anger and happiness will gradually drift away from them.

The same is true for Alina.

At first, she would take a lot of time during the day to read the documents sent by Lomio and make some important comments.

As time went on, she became less and less interested in government affairs.

Apart from the ever-changing international situation, other things could no longer attract her attention.

"The Vladimir Empire, the Pruden Kingdom and the Tyrol Kingdom have formed a secret alliance and launched a full-scale attack on the Wende Empire from three directions. The three barrier countries outside the Wende Empire have fallen."

"Should we interfere?"

This is a big deal, and Romeo naturally dare not neglect it. He went to Mont Blanc in person to bring the latest intelligence to Alina and wait for her judgment.

"What is the reaction of the Sussex people?" Alina did not speak, but asked calmly.

"They sent a fleet to lift the sea blockade of the Wende Empire and ensure that important materials can be continuously transported to the Wende Empire."

Alina looked at Romeo in surprise and teased half-jokingly: "The Sussex people always like to betray their friends, but this time they did something."

"They are making money!" Romeo muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"Who doesn't want to make money?" Alina sighed lightly, a little helpless.

To be fair, Romeo's loyalty is impeccable, but his ability is quite mediocre.

Not to mention compared to Marco, even compared to the traitor Robert, they are far behind.

It's a pity that these capable people are unwilling to be inferior to others and do not want to be their father's assistants.

Alina sighed again in her heart. If only Roland could help.

Although he sometimes does things out of line, but

Wait, Alina's eyes lit up. Since Roland often does things out of line, why can't he do it again?

After talking with Lomio, she gave important instructions for the next move of the Golden Kite Kingdom.

Friendly troops are in trouble and remain as motionless as a mountain.

Jin Yuan Kingdom is in the period of recovering its national strength, and no action is the best action.

The Wende Empire is too far away, and with the current strength of the Jin Yuan Kingdom, the outcome of the labor expedition must be a disastrous failure due to logistical supply problems.

Lomio wanted to say something, but Alina didn't want to say anymore and waved her hand casually.

Seeing Alina take out the angel card, he had to leave temporarily.

He admired Alina's abilities and transferred his loyalty to his teacher to her, but he still didn't like stargazing.

If fate is really unpredictable, teacher him.

Thinking of this, Lomio wanted to persuade her, but through the crack in the door he saw Alina putting the base angel card on the table.

The base card falls and the divination must be completed, otherwise it will backfire.

Although Lomio dislikes stargazing and divination, he still understands basic common sense.

He sighed and stood outside the door as a guard for Alina.

Before turning around, he couldn't help but look back.

The originally soft magic light became a bit dazzling.

The dazzling lights engulfed Alina's slender body, making her outline increasingly blurry.

Even though he squinted his eyes, Lomio still couldn't clearly see her expression and demeanor.

He could only sigh and silently pray that nothing would happen to her.

As long as you don't measure dangerous people like Sophia and people with unpredictable fates like Roland, there will probably be no backlash.

Alina has suffered a lot, she will definitely have a long memory and will not dare to do anything wrong again.

Bar?

Indeed I dare not.

Alina tried to get a glimpse of Fia's fate.

During the meeting to break up the Continental Treaty, she hid in the dark to observe Sophia, secretly marking the anchor point of the fate of this cold queen.

Roland's fate is unpredictable, so wouldn't Sophia be the same?

In the quiet night, she took out the angel card and secretly calculated Sophia's fate.

Just when she put down the benchmark cards and prepared to deduce, a bone-chilling chill enveloped her. Her soul was almost frozen, her whole body was cold, and her hands and feet were shaking violently.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, freezing into ice in the air, turning into an ice crystal red rose, and smashed to pieces on the ground.

Sophia's fate can indeed be observed, but as long as you have the intention to observe, you will be counterattacked.

It is not the counterattack of observing fate, but the counterattack of Sophia herself.

Alina didn't know why Sophia found her and fought back, but she knew she would die if she looked any further.

She obediently gave up trying to observe Sophia's fate.

Being fond of stargazing and deducing destiny does not mean being willing to be martyred.

She is still very young and still has a lot to do, and she does not intend to die suddenly because of her stubbornness.

Alina, who has flexible standards, should have stopped prying, but this time she couldn't resist the temptation.

This is not directly spying on Roland, but trying to figure out who the future prime minister of Jin Yuan Kingdom will be!

Alina hypnotized herself fiercely and put down the base card.

Prime Minister.

The prime minister has many similarities with the previous prime ministers. They are both the emperor's first assistants.

Alina just thought of a crazy and bold idea.

The current cabinet of the Sussex Empire is full of talents and can run well without Roland having to worry about it.

The Sussex cabinet has the mature and prudent backbone of the original cabinet, as well as enterprising newcomers. The mix of old and new is full of vitality.

Although they had conflicts of interest, they had no differences in their loyalty to the Queen.

I wish I had a cabinet like this.

Alina thought silently, her envy was beyond words.

After Marco's destruction and internal strife over the years, most of Jin Yuan's top political talents were guillotined.

The huge Jin Yuan Kingdom could not find anyone qualified to serve as prime minister.

Who should be the Prime Minister of Jin Yuan Kingdom?

The base card falls.

The blue card kept spinning, and Alina took out another card.

The VIP sign representing foreigners fell.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, turning the table red instantly.

The originally blue card was also stained with blood.

The backlash came as promised.

A rational astrologer would simply choose to quit, but Alina was tortured by her obsession for a long time, and madness finally defeated reason.

"I need answers!"

She took out three cards and slapped them down hard.

The moment the card was smashed down, she was bleeding from all her orifices and fell unconscious on the table.

Hearing the sound of her falling, Lomio who was guarding the door outside was startled. He opened the door and saw Alina lying in a pool of blood, and roared in panic.

"Pastor, doctor, come here quickly!"

Although he was concerned about Alina's safety, he knew common medical knowledge and would not hold Alina while she was howling hysterically while shaking her to death.

Soon, the maids, doctors, and priests who took care of Alina's life at the observatory all rushed over.

"It's just excessive blood loss. Just rest for a while."

The white-robed priest used holy light to help Alina stop the bleeding, and the full-time doctor came to a conclusion after a brief examination.

Although they said it lightly, Lomio could not let go of his hanging heart.

The physical damage may not be great, but the cost of spying on one's fate is terrible.

He did not return to Cité, but waited patiently.

After waiting for a day and a night, Alina finally woke up.

After barely holding herself up and walking out of the bedroom, Alina didn't find it strange to see Lomio waiting in the living room outside.

After his father's death, all his disciples were lost in the turmoil. Lomio was not only his father's disciple, but also his relative.

She smiled and sat down opposite Lomio and said softly: "I'm fine. I know very well whether I can pay for stargazing."

Lomio wanted to persuade her, but the words disappeared in Alina's steady eyes as soon as they reached her lips.

"You must take care of yourself, teacher."

"I know, I have my own sense of discretion." Alina intercepted Lomio's attempt to use his father to persuade her.

If you continue to question, you just don’t trust her judgment.

Of course Lomio would not do this.

He could only sigh and asked softly: "Is there anything else you want me to do in terms of government affairs?"

Alina thought for a moment and said slowly: "Through formal channels, we invite Roland to come to our country for a state visit."

"Ah?!" Lomio was a little confused, why did he end up here?

"Wait a moment, I will write another letter and you can deliver it to me."

Lomio looked at Alina's leaving figure with a confused face, feeling a little at a loss.

Roland is now the Caesar of the Sussex Empire and can indeed travel on behalf of the country.

But he has a very high level, holds real power, and will not go abroad easily.

Most importantly, why would you ask him to come at this time?

He thought hard and suddenly his face changed slightly as he thought of the only possibility.

Miss Alina is unmarried, and although Roland is engaged to Sif, they are not officially married, so they are considered half unmarried.

Could it be that.

Marriage?

This is the only reasonable explanation Romio can think of.

He really couldn't think of any other possibility. He couldn't invite Roland to be an official in Jin Yuan Kingdom.

Even if Roland is willing, can Sussex agree?

Even if everyone agrees, what level is appropriate to give Roland?

Lomio sighed again. He felt that he had sighed more and more since taking over Alina's place in handling government affairs, especially today.

Of course he has no objection to Alina's marriage, and even hopes that she will get married this morning to continue the family's future generations.

But Alina is the only one left in the Bouwanaba family, and she can only find a bride to keep the family name.

Even if Roland goes crazy and really abandons Sif, can he accept the marriage?

To be fair, Alina's female charm is very outstanding and she is the national pride of Jin Yuan Kingdom.

However, the other party is Queen Sylph, recognized as the most beautiful woman.

Lomio couldn't even think of the possibility of Roland's betrayal.

It's crazy to be wanted by the angry queen for a girl with less charm.

More importantly, the whole world knows about Roland and Sylph's close relationship. Can someone get in between them and become a third party?

After a long ordeal, Alina finally came out with the sealed letter.

Before she could give her advice, Lomio couldn't help but persuade him: "Alina, do you plan to ask Roland to stay in our country for a long time?"

Hey, how did this guy become enlightened today?

Alina looked at Lomio in surprise, with a bit of relief in her eyes.

Sure enough, I underestimated him. It seems that everyone will grow and improve.

She nodded, and when she was about to explain, Lomio suddenly stood up, his lips trembling with excitement.

"Alina, maybe you don't like to hear it, but I must say that you can't try to break up a beloved couple. Even if you can really do it, he can betray his lover now and he can betray you in the future!"

Wait, what is this?

Alina's eyes widened, stunned.

Lomio looked at her sadly, wishing he could die to remonstrate with her.

After he rambled for a long time, Alina finally understood.

This guy thought she was going to take the opportunity to seduce Roland and make him stay?

Her face turned pale, and her lips had no trace of blood. She was really angry.

"Lomio, do your own thing, you can go now!"

Seeing Alina's unkind tone, Lomio had no choice but to leave in dismay.

Watching him leave, Alina couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

She just wants to get through the day of return.

Personal feelings? She really hadn't thought about it.
