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

The indescribably wonderful elasticity, and the surprising heat, existed only for a moment.

Before Roger could think any further, the beauty in his arms vanished.

It was as if it were just a dream, and it ended before he could even savor it.

Because she only thought about the attack, she didn't think about what to do after the attack, nor did she think of an excuse to continue.

Actually, she didn't have time to think.

Although the Eternal Night Empress was a theoretical expert at Thai studies and was starting to learn the path of charm, she actually had no practical experience in matters between men and women.

The moment their lips met, her heart beat no slower than Roger's.

Her brain, which had already given up on thinking, was now completely blank.

She was very afraid that Roger would ask her what she was doing, what she wanted to do, or follow up with some preemptive moves, so she simply ran away.

Anyway, the Thai master said that if a woman wants to have lasting appeal, she must become an unfathomable book, one whose ending can never be seen.

Tonight, I, the Empress, will be an unpredictable mystery to him!

Very good, there's nothing wrong with that, it's in line with military strategy, and I'm still an intuitive military genius.

Run away after acting cool... no.

This is called 'as swift as the wind, as fierce as fire, and as unfathomable as shadow!'

In short, I, the Empress, am using the art of war of retreating to advance, not being timid!

The consequence of the Eternal Night Empress's confusing actions was that Roger couldn't react to whether this was a normal etiquette after an imperial dance, or a declaration of possession that stemmed from emotion but stopped short of impropriety.

Judging from that 'Little Roger,' the Eternal Night Empress's actions were more like a mature older sister welcoming her best friend's younger brother into the aristocratic social scene, giving him a little adult benefit?

If he were a simple younger brother, it would naturally be great to receive this benefit from the Eternal Night Empress, who is so beautiful.

But if he thought from the perspective of a suitor, the Eternal Night Empress's performance meant that she didn't treat him as a member of the opposite sex, but just as a little kid who wouldn't have any romantic entanglements...

Wouldn't that mean starting the game on hell difficulty?

However, the current situation didn't allow Roger to think any further; he was facing a bigger problem.

Losing the Empress's magical support, he was accelerating towards the ground.

He really couldn't fly!

Fortunately, he was quick-witted enough to activate the Journey Insoles in time, using teleportation to return directly to the Charles mansion.

The spatial transformation directly eliminated the high-speed momentum on his body, avoiding the tragic ending of falling to his death after a high-altitude dance.

Angelina was not asleep yet, and was reading a book in the courtyard.

When she saw Roger teleport back, she showed a gentle smile that was no different from usual: "Roger, what did you and Her Majesty talk about again?"

A sudden alarm bell rang in Roger's heart.

This 'performance' tonight with Her Majesty could fool everyone, but it couldn't fool Angelina.

She was his sister, Her Majesty's best friend, and knew very well that the relationship between the two was not what outsiders thought of as a 'pretty boy' or 'lover'.

Naturally, she would suspect that there was something wrong with the interaction between the two at the ball.

So, she wasn't having insomnia at all, but was deliberately here to block him!

Roger inexplicably felt guilty.

So, the question was, what exactly was the relationship between him and Her Majesty now?

If it was before the dance, he could say with certainty that it was acting.

We were just colluding to deceive and trap those corrupt nobles, sending them off to an early curtain call.

But the Eternal Night Empress's sudden kiss, without any explanation, combined with those previous explicit or implicit words, made Roger a little confused about what that woman was thinking.

Was it possible that she really developed feelings for him because he was close enough and had enough contact?

Or was she just making an adult joke, and only he was foolishly overthinking?

He was very afraid of experiencing the three great illusions of life: phone vibrating, I can counter-kill, she likes me, and in the end, it was all just self-deceptive wishful thinking.

But the problem was that no matter how many little question marks Roger had in his mind, he didn't dare to go to the Maple Spirit Moon Shadow Palace to ask for clarification.

Angelina closed the book and placed it on her lap, intuitively feeling that her brother's silence this time was a little too long.

Suspicion arose in her eyes.

It seemed that there was indeed a connection between her brother and Her Majesty that she didn't understand.

She hadn't suspected it before, but now that she thought about it, the most obvious thing was when Her Majesty rescued her after the Blood Night in Aodu.

That time was so similar to tonight; Roger also used himself as bait to lure out Jostar, and then the Eternal Night Empress came forward to finish it off.

Tonight was the same routine, fishing out the nobles who were disloyal to the Empire, and then drawing up a list to deal with them slowly.

They cooperated so tacitly.

It was pitiful that she thought she was close to them, but she only realized all this belatedly.

No, she didn't know everything; she knew about as much as those nobles, without any prior warning.

Angelina felt uncomfortable, 'Am I an outsider?'

She didn't know what her brother was doing every day, nor did she understand what her best friend was thinking every day.

Anyway, it was enough for the two of them to sing a duet; she was just in charge of logistics and didn't need to know anything.

Angelina smiled self-deprecatingly, suddenly feeling that the night was really cold.

Seeing Roger's hesitation and confusion, she still spoke in that gentle manner: "It's okay, Roger, if you can't say it, then don't. I just wish you and Her Majesty all the best."

"Ah, sorry, Sister, I was distracted," Roger realized that he had been thinking for too long and felt a little embarrassed. "It's not that I can't say it, it's just that I can't be completely sure yet, and I haven't quite figured out how to tell you..."

"There's no rush; you can think about it slowly tomorrow. Too many things happened tonight; you should rest early," Angelina touched his head.

"Yeah, a lot of things indeed. It felt like several days passed in just one night..." Roger sighed. "Sister, you've worked hard preparing for the celebration too; go to sleep early."

A glint flashed in Angelina's eyes, and she thought, 'This brat's wings are really hardening; he's chasing his sister away directly because he doesn't want to chat?'

'I've raised you for nothing, and dressed you up so nicely for nothing!'

She was also rarely a little sulky and said directly: "Well, I'm going to take a shower. Good night, sweet dreams."

Her gentle voice didn't reveal any abnormality as she walked towards her room.

It's just that her heart felt as if it was missing two pieces, making her uncomfortable.

Close people can also be changed by time, creating distance and no longer sharing everything...

Angelina wasn't jealous; she just wanted to "be needed."

When she found that the people she cared about most could handle everything with or without her, she couldn't find a sense of purpose and began to doubt herself.

Her brother was like this, Her Majesty was like this, and was the Empire also like this?

Roger had become so excellent that she couldn't see through him at all, and she could no longer participate in important decisions that determined the direction of the Empire.

It could be considered tragic for an Imperial Right Chancellor to reach such a state of insignificance, right?

But Angelina's personality was so gentle that she didn't want to cause trouble for others, trying to pretend that nothing had happened, for fear of adding extra burden to Roger.

Roger watched Angelina's back, scratching his head: "Why do I feel like Sister is acting strange today... It seems I really am tired."

He secretly rejoiced that his sister was still good. Although she blocked him, she let him go without asking any more questions when he showed that he was tired, and he easily passed the test.

Because his head was full of messy thoughts, he temporarily ignored that even Saint Angelina would have troubles.

Lingering in the courtyard for a while, basking in the bright moonlight and listening to the city gradually becoming quiet, Roger also felt sleepy and walked back to his room.

Crawling into his small wax nest, the high concentration of fire magic made him feel secure from his bloodline.

Mere women will only affect my speed of absorbing magic!

If I can't find a needle in the ocean, then I won't look for it!

Anyway, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the Empress doesn't mention this matter, I'll pretend nothing happened.

This way, I can avoid the embarrassment of "overthinking"; plan complete!

......

......

A very ordinary inn in the City of Mysteries.

Xia Ti received the information sent by Cornelia from Shark, and then showed a look of understanding:

"So that's how it is, super high mental power, super low magic power, this can indeed explain his strange behavior... But how did he cultivate into this extremely disparate state?"

Even as a believer of the God of Knowledge, having read countless books that can only be seen in the Gap of the Myriad Worlds, Xia Ti still felt that Roger's unbalanced strength development was unprecedented, if not unparalleled.

Generally speaking, the improvement of mental power is much more difficult than magic power. Ordinary magicians often encounter mental power bottlenecks when their realm improves.

As a result, this Roger is good; his mental power has already exceeded that of a legendary mage, but his magic power is only at the beginner level.

This is like a person with a doctorate degree who can't even recognize common words.

It's not outrageous; it's extremely outrageous!

Shark looked at Xia Ti falling into a predicament and reminded: "Your Highness, don't think about it. Just grab him and slowly torture him to find out where this mental power came from. It's already confirmed that he's a weakling, so hurry up and arrange the action."

He was restricted by the contract. If Xia Ti couldn't catch Roger for a day, he would have to help for a day, so naturally he hoped to get rid of this passive situation as soon as possible.

Xia Ti shook her head: "Not appropriate. This Roger has an extraordinary relationship with the Eternal Night Empress, and he must be equipped with extraordinary protection around him. I'm afraid we only have one chance to strike. A slight mistake will lead to the same fate as Jostar and Old Jostar. We must make full preparations before we act."

"Whatever you want. Call me if you need me," Shark resignedly spread his hands and went to sleep in the next room.

He originally thought it was a game for him to receive benefits, but as a result, he was countered into a sucker. He was inevitably disappointed.

What's even more difficult is seeing that Xia Ti is planning a protracted war. If there are no results in a short time, he can only wait for orders...

Xia Ti knew that Shark's intelligence was limited, so she didn't expect him to help. In the end, she had to think about the follow-up action plan herself.

Through the channels of the Tianming Army, some of the things that happened in the Star Han Palace today were also gradually passed on to her.

There were too many nobles present, and there were many people talking. The scene of the Eternal Night Empress confronting the noble class could not be concealed from those who were interested.

"The Eternal Night Empress cares a little too much about this Roger, and even cooperates with him in acting to disguise him as a strong man. Could it be that they are really in a lover relationship? According to my previous analysis of the Eternal Night Empress, she wouldn't like this style of pretty boy... Could it be that he has even more special contributions!"

Xia Ti calmed down and analyzed not only Roger's information, but also the Eternal Night Empress's recent movements and the Empire's major decisions, trying to find clues from them.

Time passed by minute by minute, and dawn had arrived.

Xia Ti discovered an interesting thing.

The two most prominent young people around the Eternal Night Empress recently are Roger Charles and Dio Brando.

And these two people seem to have never appeared in the same occasion...

Xia Ti was thoughtful and immediately went to wake up Shark: "Dio Brando's hometown is by the sea. Arrange for the people from the Sea Kingdom to investigate."

Shark: rnm, it's five in the morning!

......

......

A new day arrives.

Roger didn't sleep until midnight last night, so he only started the settlement of the lying-flat system at this time... ah, no, the settlement.

"Ding, the lying-flat system detects that the host's mood was stable yesterday. Obtained a random treasure chest. Open it?"

Originally, it was the same small opening animation as every day, but suddenly the guarantee entry floating above flickered.

The two entries next to it were broken, and the two entries "Rare" and "Passive" that he selected emitted golden light, stuck to the treasure chest, and then his random reward today became a guaranteed reward.

Roger couldn't help but be surprised: "Only 13%, and I can get a guarantee? Did an African successfully smuggle across?"

He quickly went to see his reward. A passive skill of rare quality shouldn't be bad, right?

[Phantom Dream Shield (Perfect Grade): Your mental power can be converted into health points at a ratio of 1:5, absorbing 100% of all damage. Active effect: You cannot move, increasing physical and magical resistance by 50%.]

"Damn it, isn't this Ah Dun's core skill? The active effect is to pretend to be a tower shield and stick it on the ground to hold the line and wait for reinforcements..."

Roger thought that this guarantee reward was too useless and not suitable for a mage like him who takes the full output route!
