"I never expected that Princess Mariana, whom I admire, actually has such a side. (.)" After being silent for an unknown length of time, Cornelia drank down the red wine in the goblet in her hand, feeling confused. said.

"It's normal. How many women in the royal family, especially in the harem, are really innocent?" Ito Cheng, who was holding a laptop and playing games boredly, said without raising his head, "What's more, you can The princess who was known as the shining Mariana on the battlefield would have died on the battlefield long ago if she had no scheming and only relied on bravery, let alone the chance to become the emperor's woman."

"Hey" Cornelia didn't refute, just sighed deeply.

"Your Highness, Knight Malde is here." At this time, the maid Liz who was waiting on the side walked to Cornelia's side, leaned down and whispered.

"I understand." Cornelia handed the wine glass in her hand to Liz and nodded.

A moment later, Marder, wearing a red Brittanian military uniform, opened the door and walked in. He bent down and saluted Cornelia who was sitting on the sofa, "Your Highness, Your Highness."

"Your honor, Knight Malde." Cornelia nodded and replied.

"Your Highness, this is the detailed information you want about various industries across the country." Malder straightened his half-bent right arm, raised his hand and handed the stack of information in his palm to Cornelia. road.

"Thank you for your hard work." Cornelia reached out to take the information and said in a complimentary tone.

"It is an honor for me to serve His Highness." Malder put his right hand on his chest, leaned his upper body slightly forward, and said respectfully. Then he consciously stepped aside and waited.

"Take a look." Cornelia didn't even look at the information in her hand, and directly handed it to Ito Cheng.

"It's really fast. I thought I wouldn't be able to get it until tomorrow." Ito Cheng moved the laptop on his lap, raised his body slightly from the sofa, and reached out to take the information handed over by Cornelia. He sat down again, one leg naturally resting on the other, and he flipped through the information in his hand in a comfortable posture.

"But there is a problem that you have figured out how to deal with?" Ito Cheng asked while carefully looking through the information in his hand about the factory address, area, production line, production capacity, products, employees, capital composition and other information.

"What's the problem?" Cornelia said.

"Workers' problems." Ito Naomichi, "You know what I call the way of receiving. () Can you handle anything related to workers, such as family members and so on."

Hearing this, Cornelia raised her eyebrows. This is also her biggest headache at the moment, but who told her to agree without knowing why? This is not about dealing with an enemy and breaking the agreement at will without caring about the consequences. So Cornelia, who still couldn't think of a solution, had to tell the problem truthfully, "If I accept it the way you do, I really can't think of a solution to the workers' problem. I don't know if you have any solution."

"It turns out there's nothing you can do." Ito Cheng looked up at Cornelia in surprise, then continued to look through the information in his hand and said, "I see you haven't come to me to tell me, I thought you had already thought of a way."

"But since you can't solve the problem through normal means, then I can only use my unconventional way to deal with the problem." Ito Cheng said calmly.

"What are you going to do?" Cornelia asked with a frown.

"Old way. Just grab it." Ito Cheng said casually, "When the time comes, you just need to send someone to send me to the location of the factory I selected, and then I will collect the factory and workers in my own way. Do you see how easy it is?" .”

"This is not EU. If you do this, it will cause panic." Cornelia said.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Ito Cheng raised his head and looked at Cornelia and asked. After waiting for a long time and not getting Cornelia's answer, he continued, "You see there's nothing you can do, right?"

"By the way, does eu here have something to do with me? Don't forget, I'm not from Britannia." Ito Cheng turned his attention to the information again. Look through it.

"You!" Cornelia's face showed anger. But then he was put away, and then he stood up from the sofa suddenly, turned around and walked towards his bedroom.

"Ha" Ito Cheng saw a dark red color walking past him from the corner of his eye, and a sneer of unknown meaning flashed across his downcast face.

Time passed quickly as Ito Cheng quietly flipped through the information...

"Yeah." Late at night, Ito Cheng, who stayed up all night to read, finally finished browsing the thick information in his hand near the early morning, and then stood up from the sofa. She stretched beautifully and moved her somewhat stiff body.

"Finally done." After stretching. Sitting on the sofa again, Ito Cheng picked up the thick document in his hand and followed the page numbers in his memory. He took out more than 20 pages of paper with his favorite factory information written on them from the entire book of information and bound them together separately, then picked up the re-bound information book and said with satisfaction.

Then he put away the new information book, picked up the laptop with a black screen on the side, turned around and went to the second floor, returned to his own guest room and rested.

Another night of sound sleep, with no dreams until dawn.

Early the next morning, after having breakfast with Cornelia, Ito Cheng stopped Cornelia who was about to leave and said, "Give me a person and a car, and if possible, I will also get a plane."

"Okay." Cornelia knew what Itocheng was going to do from what Itocheng wanted, and she just frowned and agreed. Then he turned to the maid Liz beside him and said, "Get Mr. Guilford for me."

"Yes, mylord." The maid Liz covered her lower abdomen with her hands and leaned forward slightly to salute. Then she walked aside and grabbed the gold-wrapped dial (the old-fashioned kind, with numbers written on the front of the phone, and a button with ten on it. The phone (a large round one with a small round hole used for dialing) was dialed.

"Hello." Soon, Guilford's voice rang on the phone.

"Mr. Guilford." Cornelia took the microphone handed over by Liz's hands and said, "Prepare a car and a private plane, arrange for two pilots to be on standby, and then ask Marder to come over to the mansion to pick up Ito. .”

"Yes, mylord." Guilford responded on the other end of the phone.

Then he handed the microphone in his hand to the maid Liz and told her to put it back where it was. He turned to Ito Cheng and said, "Knight Malde will come to pick you up in a while. He will stay with you these days. If you need anything, please contact me directly." Let him get in touch.”

"Okay." Ito Cheng nodded and agreed.

"I wish you good luck." Cornelia blessed her politely, turned and left the mansion.

More than half an hour later, Marder, dressed in military uniform, arrived at Cornelia's mansion and joined Ito Cheng. Then the two of them didn't waste any time, immediately left the mansion and started their journey.

The first destination they want to go to is a machine manufacturing factory located on the outskirts of the capital of the Britannian Empire. It has been built for a hundred years and covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 acres. The factory mainly produces some military products. Parts and civilian machinery can be regarded as a semi-military and semi-private enterprise. The owners behind it are the Ashford family, the most active noble family in Mariana's era.

Three hours later, the car Ito Cheng was riding in finally arrived near the factory. As soon as he got off the car, he could see a huge steel building standing in a large rice field from a distance, with the sound of "rumbling" machines. Even here you can listen to the sermon quietly.

"You stay here." Ito Cheng turned to Malde who was standing behind him and said.

"Okay." Malder nodded in agreement. Anyway, the order he got was to follow Ito Cheng's arrangements. Since the other party asked him to stay here, he would just stay here.

Ito Cheng nodded, stepped into the rice fields, and ran in a straight line towards the factory in the distance.

"I said Malde, what is this guy going to do?" At this time, the driver who came out of the driving position lay his hands on the roof of the car and looked at the back of Ito Cheng who was retreating and said.

"I don't know, but since Her Highness Cornelia asked us to follow him, then we should just follow him. As for what he wants to do, we don't have to worry about it." Malder folded his arms and leaned against the car door, saying calmly.

"Yes." The driver nodded, then looked at Malder with a gossipy face and said, "By the way, I heard that you recently had a passionate fight with Jasleen's thorny rose. Is it true?"

"Who did you listen to?" Malder's face froze and he turned to stare at the driver and asked.

"It looks like you're serious. You're really good. You dare to touch that thorny rose. Aren't you afraid of being pricked?" the driver said with a teasing smile.

"Jasline is not as difficult to get in touch with as you said. She is very nice, okay?" Marder rolled his eyes and said.

"I said Malde, your frontline has changed too quickly. I remember you were the one who gave me the nickname "The Rose with Thorns" at the beginning." The driver said with disdain.

"Really? Why don't I remember." Malde said pretending to be innocent.

"It seems that one day I will have a chance to find Mara and ask her to reveal your true identity." The driver said with a smile.

"I said, Cook, you..." Malder was about to say something to the driver Cook, but he immediately noticed something was wrong with Cook's expression. He immediately followed his gaze and saw the man standing on the ground. The huge steel building has completely disappeared, and only the empty land proves the traces of its former existence.

"Oh mygod..." Malder's eyes instantly became like Cook's, he was dumbfounded, and he said unconsciously.

At this time, I saw a black shadow quickly passing through the vast rice fields, crossing a large distance at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye it came to the stunned Malder and Cook, and then did not say hello. He got into the car door with a loud noise. (To be continued...)
