The villain queen eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and won't let me lie down?

Roger stood there, not immediately going forward to greet Tassika, but feeling that he needed some time to calm down.

The encounter in the Mind Demon Domain, the Nightless Queen's victory over her inner demons, had changed a lot.

But he himself seemed to have undergone quite a few changes as well…

The most obvious was that his lust and audacity towards the Queen had increased significantly!

Her character art and CG in the game were all amazing, earning her the title of the most popular female character of the year.

But after transmigrating to this world, except for certain moments, Roger faced the Nightless Queen's aura of power with a mix of respect, fear, and helplessness.

He definitely desired her, but considering her strength and personality, he felt he had no chance.

It was like an ordinary student having the courage to pursue the school beauty, but trying to pursue a mega-celebrity was a joke.

Roger was definitely not an ordinary student in this world, but the Nightless Queen was incomparable to those top celebrities on Earth.

She was the empire's national idol, but she was also the absolute leader and military guarantor who truly held the power of life and death and created the country's glory.

Calling her a human-shaped nuclear weapon wasn't an exaggeration, right?

So Roger always wanted to stay away from this scummy Queen, as far away as possible, to avoid getting himself caught in the crossfire.

But fate was a mischievous little rascal, he came to spectate a battle and ended up encountering the Nightless Queen being ambushed by Eris demon bugs.

Having seen the Nightless Queen in the Mind Demon Domain, who was weak and needed help, and even personally held her, Roger's mentality inevitably inflated a bit.

The invincible Nightless Queen, wasn't she essentially just a gluttonous girl, just a little silly who needed psychological counseling or she would find a scapegoat herself?

If I work hard, maybe I really have a chance, huh!

His mentality at this time was different from an occasional flirtatious remark about sharing a large bed, which was just talk and wouldn't be put into practice.

Now, Roger 'the pufferfish' was already thinking about how to攻略 (gōnglüè - romance/strategize) the Nightless Queen.

This was the difference between a plan and a daydream.

A plan involves thinking about how to accomplish something, while a daydream involves thinking about what pose to use after it's accomplished.

The latter is pure fantasy and won't cause any trouble, since no one knows, but if the former fails…

It could really cost you your head!

Ah, this Queen is also not讲武德 (jiǎng wǔdé - doesn't play by the rules), how did she develop into a妖精 (yāojīng - enchantress)?

Roger felt that the Nightless Queen had made the first move in this wave.

So he analyzed the Nightless Queen's behavior and found it really hard to figure out.

Men are the kind of creatures who, if a beautiful woman on the street glances at them, will start thinking about which elementary school to enroll their children in…

So, analyzing from a hindsight perspective, the Nightless Queen's attention and care for him was actually quite significant.

This wasn't just a glance in the crowd, but chasing him all the way to the Grand Library…

This wasn't the level of attention one would give to an ordinary subject or a best friend's younger brother, right?

And the magic beacon on his leg…

Could it be that the Queen really has feelings for me?

Roger analyzed it.

He discovered that his biggest advantage was the lack of competitors!

In the vast empire, there were probably tens of millions of men who admired the Nightless Queen, but currently, not a single one dared to take action or had the ability to do so.

In the hearts of the people of the empire, the Queen was high above, even greater than a god, how could she possibly be in a relationship…

So, no matter how outstanding the Nightless Queen was, no man sent her flowers or lipstick, no man played romantic games or wrote love letters to her, no man used all kinds of shameless tactics to pester her…

As long as you're bold enough, the Queen will go on maternity leave, right?

Roger quickly covered his mouth, afraid that his silly laughter would scare Tassika.

Calm down, calm down, can't be blindly optimistic.

It's okay to think about these things, but don't become a pufferfish.

Stay steady, don't be reckless!

What if she doesn't have any feelings at all, and I'm just being delusional here, earning a disgusted look and her saying she prefers my sister, wouldn't that be extremely awkward?

She might even fly into a rage and say, "Ant, you're daydreaming," and my little life would be in danger.

After all, she's the Queen, what kind of talented young men hasn't she seen?

Even if I, the transmigrator, have a promising future and become invincible in ten years, I'm still a younger brother who needs someone to care for me now.

However, staying by the Queen's side to observe more, first figuring out the Queen's attitude, there's no problem with that, right?

Roger gradually calmed down and realized that he actually had quite a few opportunities to interact with the Nightless Queen.

In the short term, there was the negotiation with the orc tribes, in the medium term, there was the "New Arcana" and the Tianming Army, and in the long term, there was the identity of Duke Theo that could be reconnected.

Even if the Emperor's heart is deep and unfathomable, as long as time passes, you can definitely see people's hearts, right?

Moreover, with these opportunities to interact, I can also appropriately display my charm and ability, let her get used to my existence, be unable to leave me, and even rely on me!

Anyway, as long as I don't confess, I won't lose, just keep cultivating goodwill.

One day, I'll show off a wave of high-end operations and create the giant explosion array and combat robot that the Queen has always craved, wouldn't that be a great situation to sit back and wait for her to confess first?

After some careful consideration, although Roger couldn't be sure of the Nightless Queen's attitude towards him, he had decided to stop thinking about running away.

Now, as long as the Queen dares to confess, he dares to agree!

On the surface, this was just taking a small step forward, but this was a big step in their relationship…

Um, probably, can't justify it anymore!

……

……

Roger turned his attention back to the Agave Princess in front of him.

After realizing that the Queen "might have feelings for him," he felt that the Queen's arrangement for him to negotiate might also be a test.

Otherwise, how would she suddenly understand strategy?

She wants to use an impossible task to test me!

This is like a job interview, you have to pass the first round to have a second round, failing means you're directly out.

But the problem is, this test is difficult to answer…

Roger scratched his head a little, because the Nightless Queen gave him too much freedom.

She didn't give any bottom-line conditions, just let him negotiate first and then report back.

This is like the essay topic being "Untitled," it's too open-ended and difficult to start.

He was good at writing a perfect essay under an existing topic, but he was a bit clueless when it came to free rein.

Roger pondered Princess Tassika's personality, pondered the current situation of the orc tribes, pondered the current needs of the empire…

He felt that simply negotiating a vassal state that paid tribute every year and pledged allegiance every year would definitely not be a perfect score.

He had to turn the orc tribes into a staunch ally who actively opposed the tyranny of the gods.

The good news was that Tassika was just a devout follower of the Goddess of War, not a fanatic.

So there was room for maneuvering!

Roger had a general strategy in mind and moved directly in front of Tassika.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his black noble robe moving without wind, looking very powerful.

Anyway, this was a subjective ocean of consciousness, as long as you thought you were strong, you would emit light!

He had watched so many anime, movies, and games, he still knew how to strike a pose.

Tassika was naturally surprised and shocked to suddenly see a handsome guy in front of her.

Roger didn't give her too much time to react, he slightly raised his hand, untied the seaweed wrapped around her, and his voice was deafening and reverberated: "Tassika Kachini, you are a sinner of the orc tribes."

Based on his experience in confrontations, he would first slap a big label on her, lower her status, and then whatever he said would have less confidence.

Although the real Tassika was desperate, she had been watching the battle between the orc coalition and the imperial army.

She naturally recognized Roger as the "young powerhouse" beside the Nightless Queen, the key figure who single-handedly reversed the situation and caused heavy losses to the orc coalition.

Facing the victor, the defeated side was already weak, and this sentence "sinner" directly broke her defense.

This was the truth!

Self-blame and guilt surged in her heart, draining all of Tassika's strength. After losing the support of the restraints, she directly knelt on the ground, raised her head, and smiled miserably: "Lord Charles is right, if I hadn't been blind to the Grand Priest's wolfish ambitions, the orcs wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat."

She had thought about it thousands of times. If she had resisted to the death when Old Josda first descended, if she had led the orc coalition to confront the Rommel Legion head-on, even if the orc empire had lost, it wouldn't have been like this now, with Serena City being slaughtered and the remaining tribes unable to fight anymore, right?

The most painful thing now was that the tribesmen hadn't blamed her yet, but the imperials found her behavior ridiculous.

Roger didn't expect to achieve such a good effect with just one sentence.

No way, sister, you're just admitting guilt?

I thought I would have to be possessed by the souls of Kensuke, or Phoenix Wright to win!

The princesses of this world are really too responsible, full of the spirit of scapegoating…

The enemy's quality is too high, Roger felt a little uncomfortable instead, feeling that he had been reduced to the self-media like Mi Meng that he used to hate the most.

But then he thought, if Tassika didn't cooperate, the orc tribes would only suffer a worse fate, and it was a good thing for him to make her recognize reality faster.

Using thunderous means, acting with the heart of a bodhisattva.

He wasn't just trying to make money and exploit people's tragedies like Mi Meng.

He continued to speak in a full-volume voice, like reading a judgment:

"Orc High Priest Josda created the Audu Blood Night, harming ten thousand innocent civilians of the empire. Her Majesty was furious and demanded that the orc tribes repay it a hundredfold, staining the desert with blood; and you set a trap, sacrificing the upper echelons of the tribe as sacrifices, plotting against Her Majesty and the Rommel Legion. Just now, Her Majesty has ordered to kill all the orcs!"

Tassika's little face turned pale, without a trace of blood, and her teeth chattered.

The Nightless Queen was indeed worthy of her reputation, a ruthless woman who was vindictive, cruel, and inhuman…

Josda and his son were even more bastards, why did you provoke her!?

Just as she fell into despair and her eyes went black, she heard Roger's tone change:

"But I think the lives of the orcs are also lives. I'm fighting for one last chance to atone for you. Whether you can save tens of millions of innocent lives in the tribe depends on your performance."

Roger tried to keep his voice calm and without any emotion, to appear indifferent to the life and death of the tribesmen.

Although Tassika didn't understand before, she had been taught by Old Josda these days, knowing that her beauty had a price. She immediately understood this "performance" and made a pitiful appearance.

Although she felt disgusted in her heart, she still hardened her heart, pulled down her pajamas a little, revealing her collarbone and half of her breasts, helplessly like a little white flower: "Lord, I will definitely perform well, and offer everything to you. As long as you are happy, anything is fine…"

Compared to Old Josda selling her goods to more than thirty families, at least this young man in front of her didn't look bad and was strong. If he could really save the orcs, it wouldn't be a loss…

Maybe even a profit?

Roger raised his hand and a wave overturned Tassika: "Don't use such petty tricks. The empire conquers all sides, are there fewer princesses in the Abyss Mill who are more beautiful and have higher status than you?"

Tassika raised her head and saw his face full of disgust, and her heart was immediately in chaos.

So, what Lord Charles said about performance wasn't this kind of performance?

I'm being presumptuous, so what else can I do?

What else can I show as a princess who has nothing and is trapped in the depths of the ocean of consciousness?

Roger saw her showing a panicked and helpless expression, knowing that his tactic of attacking the heart had succeeded.

Since appearing, he first aroused Tassika's guilt towards the orc tribes, and then let her know the desperate situation of the orc tribes.

Then he gave her a little hope, seemingly demanding her beauty.

When she made the decision to sacrifice herself, he immediately told her that you guessed wrong, shattering her last proud defense.

This ring after ring, repeatedly pulling and tormenting her to the extreme.

As a princess whose country was destroyed and her family was ruined, even her usually proud appearance was disdained, losing the last bargaining chip she could put on the table, how could she not panic?

Tassika's brain was blank, desperately wanting to save the orc tribes, but she really didn't know what to do.

Roger opened the game with a flurry of blows, beating Tassika half to death, and then changed to a gentle attitude.
