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

Angelina snorted but ultimately said nothing.

However, she was prepared to secretly monitor every decree and measure from the orc tribes to prevent Margaret from feigning compliance and making things difficult for her brother.

That little devil is truly wicked!

Margaret also understood that she wouldn't have a chance to mess with Roger this time.

Now, her enemies weren't just the blue-haired saintess but also her and her brother…

Ah, my life is so hard!

"Alright, let's move on to the next agenda item."

The Eternal Night Empress looked at the secretary-general, a sly smile appearing on her face.

This was checks and balances, this was strategy!

Let the whole room rise and applaud, praising the bad woman as the best in the world!

The cabinet was the core body for managing the empire, and she would inevitably spend more time studying magic and managing the Secret Arts Society, unable to constantly monitor the empire's internal affairs.

In this way, the power of the cabinet would be strengthened in disguise.

If the cabinet members colluded with each other and deceived her together, she would be in trouble.

Therefore, making the relationship between the cabinet members less harmonious, causing them to fight each other, would reduce the risk of collusion.

As long as she controlled the heat and ensured that they fought and bickered without jeopardizing the empire.

Please have healthy competition, don't hold each other back!

When everyone knows how powerful the Empress is and doesn't dare to make small moves casually, the Empress can copy homework more easily in the future…

"So, mastering people's hearts is really a technical skill!"

The Eternal Night Empress lowered her head, seemingly playing with her fingers, but actually listening carefully to each minister's speech, and then seizing the mistakes to criticize.

This move is called 'outwardly relaxed but inwardly strict,' deliberately showing that she can crush the other party at will, creating the mysterious authority of an emperor.

Hurry up and finish the meeting, I still need to pick up Tasika and, by the way, pick up a soul for the random boss in the Mind Demon Domain…

……

……

Drinking Ice Manor.

Roger woke up early and, according to the information compiled by Little Joey last night, basically finalized the content of the first issue of "Arcane Miscellany."

Little Joey had prepared a sufficient number of submissions, with a list summarizing and rating the quality of each submission, making it clear at a glance and greatly saving Roger's time.

Roger's task was to select and determine that the main debate direction of this issue was "Is a mage a combat profession or a production profession?", and the rest would be easy.

After revising it today, it can be delivered for printing tomorrow and released the day after tomorrow.

According to the Eternal Night Empress's instructions, "Arcane Miscellany" only needs to recite the spell "All unknowns have answers" to be distributed free of charge to every mage who subscribes to "New Arcana."

This is also a strategy to lure mages into the debate.

"New Arcana" is published once a month, while "Arcane Miscellany" is published weekly, mainly featuring discussions on new papers published in the monthly "New Arcana."

"Don't work too hard, learn to delegate work to others."

Roger encouraged Little Joey, the editor-in-chief staying behind, and teleported to the outside of the military department.

Before entering, he suddenly felt a little worried.

Margaret is petty, wouldn't she be angry if I parachuted in as her superior?

Thinking back to her ending in the game, it was precisely this point that the players used to orchestrate a tragedy…

Chapter 95: As Expected of the Person I Chose

After completing the main storyline in the first playthrough of "Eternal Night Unclear," most players felt quite sympathetic towards Margaret.

The appearance of a white-haired demon was already appealing to players' tastes, and beyond her ruthless, vindictive, and insidious demonic nature, she was also the Eternal Night Empress's unwavering loyal dog.

This contrast, coupled with the constant contrast with the saint Angelina, created quite a few memorable moments for players.

To be fair, although this game wasn't finished, the development team was very skilled at creating female characters.

In the main storyline, Angelina was deceived by the protagonist group's sweet words, believing that they could truly reconcile the contradictions between the empire and the seventeen countries, and twice actively helped to release them.

Margaret, on the other hand, completely ignored the players' opinions, suspecting that they posed a threat to the Empress, and would not hesitate to eliminate unstable factors, making her a nightmare for players in the mid-game.

There were more than a dozen situations in the plot that would trigger a plot kill where Margaret chased them to the point of desperation.

However, later in the plot, the Goddess of War arranged for the protagonist group to sow discord between Margaret and the Eternal Night Empress, making the little fan mistakenly believe that the Empress favored Angelina, directly causing the toxic fan's mentality to explode.

Subsequently, the Goddess of War, Taibeira, actively descended, showing Margaret the irreversible prophecy of the empire's destruction and demonstrating the power of the seven gods crushing the empire and traversing multiple planes.

At that time, Margaret was already on the verge of collapse, and hearing Taibeira say that she could achieve a "You lose the whole world, but you still have me" ending for the Eternal Night Empress, she couldn't help but be moved.

Taibeira's devastating blow to Margaret was:

"Without this empire dragging the Empress down, how free and happy would her life be… Margaret, you are the only one who can give her happiness!"

After that, Margaret "abandoned darkness and turned to the light," helping the Heavenly Bright Army to plan and accelerate the demise of the Green Vine Empire.

The ending she desired was the one promised by the Goddess of War: that she would take the Eternal Night Empress, who had lost everything, and escape to the edge of the plane, live out her remaining years in peace, or explore the endless starry sky.

But the real ending was that Margaret underestimated the Eternal Night Empress's feelings for the empire. In the end, the Eternal Night Empress chose to launch a suicide charge towards the Judgment Gate where the gods and angels were descending.

Margaret appeared, trying to stop her and bring hope of escape, but only received the Eternal Night Empress's undisguised hatred for the traitor:

"Betrayal for any reason is unforgivable."

Echoing such parting words in her ears, Margaret could only watch helplessly as the only person in this world she cared about died for her country.

The scene of Margaret's empty and lifeless eyes at the last moment made the Fourth Heavenly Disaster, who was leading this scene, feel guilty.

That was true despair.

It should have been a happy ending, hundreds of hours of effort, justice overcoming evil, the end of Eternal Night ushering in a perfect ending of light…

But why didn't we feel happy in front of the screen?

That was the first time Roger realized that there was a big problem with this main storyline, that this world was not as simple as the Heavenly Bright Mentor and the gods described.

Roger recalled the plotline related to Margaret and found that the little devil had many bad points, but she was truly loyal to the Eternal Night Empress from beginning to end.

It was just that Taibeira, the little bitch, was a better player, making Margaret wishfully want to find a way out for the Eternal Night Empress, but instead, she became the biggest and most miserable joke.

Her ending was not even as good as Angelina, who guarded Aodu to the last soldier and perished with the city.

Both prime ministers of the empire could be said to be absolutely loyal.

The difference was that Angelina was loyal to the empire, so when facing the protagonist group, she would consider that they might bring the possibility of eliminating hatred.

Margaret was loyal to the Eternal Night Empress alone. As long as it was for the Empress's good, she could do anything, even if it meant bearing a bad reputation.

It was precisely this realization that made them all be fooled by the gods, and their fates were turned back to become pawns of the gods.

Roger realized that with his current identity as Angelina's younger brother, wanting to make Margaret betray on the spot seemed as easy as flipping his hand…

"Although I really want to see the scene of the little fan spinning, but she can also be considered a comrade who can be absolutely trusted in the empire… but I have to make her understand the Empress's determination first."

Roger smiled self-deprecatingly and decided to be a good person this time.

Making Margaret feel like she's better off dead is too cruel. Not everyone is as twisted as Taibeira, who likes to see fatherly love and filial piety, and siblings killing each other.

This time, I'll focus on handling the affairs of the Orc Kingdom, save some face for the Left Prime Minister, save some face for His Majesty, and moderately tolerate some of her face-slapping provocations…

Roger did some psychological construction for himself and finally stepped into the Imperial Military Department.

……

……

In the void.

A small demiplane, a place where the passage of time is unknown.

Old Joestar, who had been working hard to crack the interdimensional exile, suddenly felt a powerful spirit appear in the sea of consciousness, and he instantly lost control of this body.

He was directly dragged to the bottom of the sea where Tasika was suppressed, and then saw the Eternal Night Empress with a smile that was not a smile.

He felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

Why does it feel like this legendary Empress, who is incomparably reckless, is somewhat similar to his little bitch goddess?

Of course, their appearances are completely different, but this temperament, this Empress looks very deep, and he can't see through her at all.

Old Joestar couldn't help but whistle at the Eternal Night Empress: "You're a good Empress, better looking than I imagined, especially the temperament is a bit interesting, not the common mascot."

Although he knew that this woman crushing him was no different from crushing an insect, he dared to tease the Goddess of War, and he didn't flinch in the slightest.

The Eternal Night Empress lazily said: "You are also very interesting, not deliberately stimulating me to seek death, but really looking for stimulating and interesting things, right? Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Old Joestar suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Although he couldn't guess what this Empress was going to do, the gradually raised corners of her mouth, staring at him like she was looking at a satisfactory material, gave him a strong sense of crisis.

He repeatedly shouted: "Your Majesty, I really want to die, why don't you just give me a quick death?"

"It's too late, I'm very fond of you, you have to help the young people of the empire make good progress!"

The Eternal Night Empress laughed loudly, and the Eris Demon Worm emerged behind her.

A silver light rolled towards Old Joestar and sucked him into the transformed Mind Demon Domain.

The Eternal Night Empress's arrangement for him was a random boss that would drop very good rewards.

With Old Joestar playing the role, the difficulty of killing him would naturally be very high, but for the sake of rewards, I believe the mages would try every possible way to flip him over!

As long as everyone doesn't give up their efforts, Old Joestar's experience will definitely be very interesting.

Thinking like this, the Eternal Night Empress turned around and looked at Tasika.

The half-dragon princess had been quietly watching, and her expression didn't change much until Old Joestar was sent away.

Her performance at this time was much calmer than what the Eternal Night Empress had seen that day, and there was hope in her eyes.

She nodded with satisfaction: "I'm very happy that you can make such a crucial change. Please work hard to lead the orcs to become stronger. The empire will never treat friends badly."

"I believe in the empire's promise, and the orcs will also strive for self-improvement."

Tasika's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

Facing the Eternal Night Empress, whose strength far exceeded her imagination, she didn't panic at all.

Of course, she mainly believed in Lord Charles.

The Empress's appearance here and her attitude made her believe that the empire had really agreed to their secret treaty.

This made her anticipation for the future even greater.

"Oh, don't you hate the empire?"

Seeing Tasika's performance, the Eternal Night Empress felt an even more unexpected surprise.

Her first impression was that Tasika was the type of person who would rather be a broken jade than a whole tile.

Even if she had to cooperate with the empire's actions, she would be unwilling or pretend to comply, holding her breath and wanting to rebel sooner or later.

After all, she had personally killed her father and severely damaged the Bell Tribe, causing the orcs to shed a lot of blood.

But now, the Eternal Night Empress felt that Tasika had emotions towards her and the empire in her heart, but not to the point of hatred.

For the mission to be carried out next, she seemed to be willing from the bottom of her heart to cooperate with the empire to integrate and establish a new orc kingdom.

"In front of the Goddess of War, we are all victims."

Tasika sincerely repeated what Roger had said, "She demanded excessively from the orc tribes, actively provoking the empire, but did not protect the orcs, which led to today's tragedy. Although the orcs are reckless, they will not fall twice in the same pit."

"Indeed, the origin of the war between our two countries was a sacrifice by High Priest Joestar, who received the order from the Goddess of War."

The Eternal Night Empress nodded, "I am very pleased that you can see this level. Let me give you a gift."

She had just copied all the divine arts that Old Joestar had mastered from his soul, preparing them as skill modules for the random boss.

Now, she transferred a copy of this knowledge to Tasika's sea of consciousness.

Tasika's body trembled slightly, and then she flexed her fingers and chanted a few syllables in a very short time, casting a high-level divine art "Angel's Blessing" on herself.
