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

Cough cough, how does it feel like Dio is about to become the Charles family's great benefactor?

Angelina put her legs on the bed and kicked Roger.

"?"

"By the way, move a little further inside the bed."

"???"

"I'm too lazy to go back to my room, hurry up, I'm so sleepy!"

Roger's expression was a little stiff: "Sis, with your age and my age, if word gets out..."

"Even if you're eight hundred years old, you're still my brother, get in!"

She pushed Roger hard.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Roger had no choice but to roll inside and make enough space for Angelina.

He even gave her half of his pillow.

After all, what happened last night was quite special, so it's understandable that she suddenly became clingy.

Fortunately, their bed was quite large.

Angelina showed a satisfied little expression of "you're very sensible", casually turned off the magic crystal lamp, lay down next to Roger, pulled over the quilt without any ceremony, and hummed, "Good night."

"Good night."

She turned her head and looked at Roger's vaguely visible outline in the dim moonlight, and found that the handsome teenager from before was now becoming more angular.

That stinky little brother is growing up too.

He's taller than his sister, and maybe one day he'll be even more powerful than his sister.

Lost in thought, Angelina's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and she fell asleep with even breaths before long.

She was really tired too.

The empire had countless things to worry about, and then her emotions went up and down, all of which were extremely draining.

Roger always liked to stay up late, and now there was another person next to him, making his own bed feel a little unfamiliar.

He didn't know how his predecessor got along with his sister, but he was an only child.

He had countless wives, but they were all two-dimensional.

This was the first time that a girl of his age was lying on his bed.

And a very beautiful one at that.

But smelling her fragrant scent after bathing, Roger didn't feel any lustful thoughts, but rather felt quite at ease.

This must be family.

He gradually felt sleepy too.

Suddenly, Angelina turned over.

His arm sank, and Angelina hugged him, while a few strands of hair swept across his face, tickling him.

The key was that her soft, slightly hot body was tightly pressed against him, allowing him to feel her exquisite curves.

Angelina had a slender and well-proportioned figure, but the places that should be developed were not lacking in nutrition at all.

Soft and bouncy.

There was, well, there was a tendency for that familial affection to turn into something else...

Suddenly, Angelina's body trembled, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she said vaguely:

"Mom and Dad, don't go... Brother, don't be afraid, I will protect you..."

Roger reached out and gently stroked her furrowed brows, knowing that she was having a nightmare.

Suddenly, he understood why Angelina would put so much effort into building welfare homes.

Because she was also an orphan!

She must have been only seven or eight years old when the Earl and Countess of Charles died, right?

Although she had the support of the royal family, a little girl used her thin shoulders to support a family to its current prosperity...

How much hardship and warmth she silently endured.

Probably because of what happened today, Angelina was extremely afraid of losing her last relative and becoming a lonely person in the world.

At that time, no matter how big or luxurious the Duke's mansion was, there would always be a part in her heart that could never be filled, right?

"Don't be afraid, it's my turn to protect you now."

Roger gently patted her back, whispering as gently as coaxing a child.

Angelina seemed to feel it, and her brows gradually relaxed, and she didn't hug Roger so tightly anymore.

After being tossed around like this for a few rounds, he had no more thoughts and his eyelids felt heavy.

In the end, he also fell into a dreamless sleep.

Some emotions are more lasting than temporary hormones.

Chapter 60 Roger Asks for an Official Position

The next day, early in the morning.

Roger dressed neatly and did not go to the library through the repaired teleportation array, but jumped on Angelina's carriage.

"You're going to the palace with me?" Angelina asked in surprise.

Roger nodded: "Yes, I've read enough books, I'm going to ask His Majesty for an official position."

"?"

Angelina was frightened by Roger's casual attitude and bold remarks when he mentioned the Empress, and her brain stopped working.

In the vast Qing Teng Empire, the Empress is the only one who is supreme. Who would dare to actively ask the Empress for an official position?

Everyone enjoys what the Empress gives them!

The Eternal Night Empress is not stubborn, but she is not open to suggestions.

Anyone who dares to speak wildly and directly ask His Majesty for an official position will most likely be killed by a Death Finger, plus a five-minute Meteor Shower to be blasted into slag.

Angelina pretended to be relaxed and said: "Ask for an official position? Such a trivial matter doesn't need to bother His Majesty. I can arrange it for you."

"Sis, I don't want to dig coal or sweep the streets. You can't arrange the official position I want."

Angelina was unconvinced. What kind of high-ranking official does her good-for-nothing brother want to be? Can't the Right Prime Minister arrange it?

She snorted: "One must be down-to-earth and not aim too high. You're so young and have no political experience. Do you want to be a cabinet minister directly? Someone like you should go to the sanitation team to temper your temper."

Roger smiled mysteriously.

He really wanted to reveal the truth to her. Who isn't a cabinet minister these days?

He laughed: "I don't want to be a cabinet minister, and I don't need to be a high-ranking official. It's just that the duties of this official position are quite special and must be approved by His Majesty. Just let me hitch a ride."

But Angelina's personality simply couldn't allow her to ignore it, and she kept earnestly persuading him along the way:

"Roger, you don't understand His Majesty's personality. Although she never skimps on rewarding her ministers, she is not used to people actively asking for official positions... Ah, you're not learning from Dio, are you? He is very talented."

She didn't say the second half of the sentence: He is a dragon among men, and you are a useless brother. Learning from him will kill you!

Sister is not lying to you!

Roger thought to himself that he was very familiar with the Empress and understood her lingering, hot-and-cold temper very well.

Angelina persuaded him for a long time, and seeing that he was unmoved, she was helpless.

This younger brother has grown up and is no longer as easy to manipulate as he was when he was a child. She used to dress him in skirts whenever she wanted to.

He has begun to have his own ideas...

She wasn't the kind of strict parent who had to turn her younger brother into her ideal image.

But she also inexplicably felt a little sad that she was gradually drifting away from her younger brother.

But after all, he was her younger brother, so what could she do?

Spoil him!

If she couldn't persuade him, she would continue to earnestly urge him and explain some precautions:

"If His Majesty doesn't allow it, don't force it. Say a few nice words and praise the Empress's heroic deeds, and it should be fine..."

Or perhaps die a little more quickly?

Although Angelina had the dual identities of best friend and Right Prime Minister, she still felt that her younger brother was playing with fire.

Roger listened with amusement, but it was really hard to explain that his relationship with His Majesty was closer than she thought.

He couldn't show his sister the "正" character on his leg and tell her that it was left by the Empress herself, could he?

Not to mention whether he would be beaten to death, it was also quite embarrassing...

That Empress really likes to mess things up, and she doesn't understand the profoundness of Chinese characters and uses them blindly every day.

Writing the "正" character on paper is the same as writing the "正" character on the leg?

Ah, it's so hard to be a man.

It's even harder to be a man with a complex identity and burdened with the weight of the empire!

Fortunately, if today's actions are successful, it should resolve many of the previous hidden dangers.

……

……

That morning, Minister of History Dio Brando did not attend the cabinet meeting.

The ministers were not surprised because the city defense garrison was very busy, and the commander must have many official duties to deal with.

The Empress was not surprised because Roger had seven days of annual leave.

He had worked hard to kill Joestar, and he left a message on her brain waves in the morning to apply for leave, and she readily approved it.

Of course, the adjutants of the city defense army were not surprised either.

Lord Dio held the important position of cabinet minister, so he must have more urgent national affairs to deal with in the morning.

The task of hunting down believers, which had stumped everyone, had been successfully completed under the wise leadership of Lord Dio, and the rest was nothing to be afraid of.

Everyone was used to the aftermath (cleaning up the mess) and could do 99 points even without the commander's command.

The remaining one point was to give the commander face so as not to make him seem too useless.

In this way, Dio had a perfect alibi.

So when the cabinet meeting ended, the Eternal Night Empress heard Angelina tell her that her younger brother requested to see her, she pondered for a moment.

Wasn't Roger already on leave? How many good younger brothers do you have?

She sensed through the magic beacon and found that it was indeed Roger waiting outside the Parliament Hall.

The Eternal Night Empress was full of question marks and still cooperated: "It doesn't matter, let him in."

Angelina carefully observed the Eternal Night Empress's expression and found that she didn't seem angry, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Normally, a noble without an official position cannot casually meet the Empress. Now, Roger was able to get this opportunity by going through her back door.

However, Roger seemed to have some secrets to tell His Majesty, and she was not allowed to listen.

Even though she was very, very curious, she could only leave the hall.

She glared at Roger as a warning.

Don't start any conflicts, my stupid brother!

Although she left the hall, Angelina did not leave but waited outside for a result.

Seeing her restless appearance, she had the feeling of sending her stupid son to kindergarten for the first time, the first time mother and son were separated, not knowing if he could adapt to the sinister world outside...

Alas, the eldest sister is like a mother!
