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

A new day, the city of mystery, the military.

The second day after Tashika was teleported here.

From the moment she walked out of the space gate, she was received by the second-in-command of the imperial military, Margaret, the left prime minister, with the highest standards of hospitality and warm care.

Under Margaret's restraint, the imperial people also behaved quite politely.

Some people were amazed at her dragon horns and tail, as well as her amazing beauty, and they couldn't help but look at her twice, but that was all.

There was no racial discrimination incident that Tashika was worried about before.

She was also quite free to move around here, and she didn't see the sign "Orcs and dogs are not allowed to enter".

Under Margaret's deliberate arrangement, the Qingteng Empire, which has always been promoted as barbaric and brutal, showed its polite, elegant, open-minded and generous side.

At least it is much cuter than those elves in the same camp of the Seven Gods.

The arrogance and rudeness of those pointed ears made Tashika never want to go to Gaia Forest again in her life.

Of course, what made Tashika happiest was seeing Lord Charles again.

He was still so handsome in reality.

He did not show the strong and domineering aura that day.

Even as the top leader of the "Orc Kingdom Reconstruction Team", he was humble and elegant, willing to listen to her and other members of the team, and only made decisions at the most critical points.

Tashika thought that Lord Charles was hiding his shortcomings.

Just like the discussion she heard by chance, before the battle outside Sleina City, Aodu thought that Roger Charles was a dandy young master with poor combat effectiveness.

Oh, some ignorant and vulgar people who follow the crowd were easily fooled by Lord Charles' performance!

Lord Charles suppressed the magical power of the Orc Coalition alone.

He is probably the second strongest man in the empire under the Queen of Eternal Night?

He is hiding his strength and playing with you every day, and you still take it seriously?

It's really interesting!

Tashika made the following summary of the contrast of Roger's image:

When they first met, the powerful Lord Charles was super aggressive, and I wanted to be fucked...

At this moment, Lord Charles, disguised as an ordinary nobleman, is super cute, and I want to be fucked...

In short, Lord Charles is the best in the world, no objection!

But most of the time yesterday was spent in meetings, and the little free time was pestered by Margaret, the left prime minister, and there was no chance to talk to Lord Charles alone about the pain of separation, which made Tashika very uncomfortable.

Roger: We just met yesterday, what's the point of parting?

So he would not take the initiative to create an opportunity for Tashika to contact him alone.

And Margaret felt that the strategy of getting close to Tashika was still effective.

Both of them are mixed-race, and they are minorities in the Secret City.

Tashika was worried about being discriminated against and bullied, so Margaret empathized with her and got closer to her, taught her tips to avoid those bad things, and said she would protect her.

This petite half-blooded little devil has high emotional intelligence, good looks and high status.

When she showed her kindness, it was really hard for the distressed princess Tashika to refuse.

But gradually, since Lord Charles appeared, Margaret's meticulous care for her has made her feel "overly enthusiastic and thoughtful".

It's almost the same feeling as a socially anxious person entering Haidilao.

It always feels a bit embarrassing to serve too much face to face, so it's better to keep a little distance.

But as a distressed princess of a defeated country, Tashika dared not offend the powerful prime minister of the empire.

She was also afraid that she would behave inappropriately, cause trouble to Lord Charles, and establish enemies that should not exist.

She could only pretend to be a snake and respond politely.

It was very tiring.

Tashika had to fight for interests with the empire at the negotiation table, and she had to be careful to show her cuteness in front of Margaret under the negotiation table. It was really tiring.

The little devil was very good at chatting, and the topics she found were quite clever, but compared with the night when she talked about a beautiful future with Lord Roger, it didn't have the same flavor.

I miss it so much...

The next day, there was still a meeting to discuss the remaining strategies from last night.

Sir Charles changed into a light gray casual suit, which made him look more handsome.

Although there were so many people in the meeting room, Tashika's eyes still secretly fell on him.

Only he was the light that dispelled her despair.

During the meal, Tashika also tried to cast a few seeking help eyes to Roger, hoping that the Lord could take her with him and separate Margaret's enthusiasm.

But Roger didn't realize that this was a request for help, and thought that Tashika was grateful for the preferential treatment given by the Empire.

After all, Roger saw Margaret's performance throughout the whole process and felt full of surprises.

Just like what he complained to his sister last night, Roger thought that he would be in hell mode after entering the military.

Margaret made all kinds of difficulties, and the staff ignored him. He carefully protected Tashika from being bullied, and then struggled to promote his indirect rule over the orc tribe...

But the petty devil didn't care about it like in the game.

Roger is the general manager, that's it.

Roger made suggestions, and everyone discussed and analyzed them in a businesslike manner.

Roger was late for handling matters at Yinbingzhuang, so a new meeting time was coordinated for him.

Margaret, the deputy, did not perform perfectly, but she did not make things difficult, did not discriminate, and did not deliberately find faults...

Roger should be thankful, okay? !

He guessed that because he saved the Queen of Eternal Night once, this toxic fan had a little love for him?

I thought I had to endure humiliation, go deep into the enemy camp, and attend the meeting alone...

It turned out that they were all friendly troops, and everyone was laughing and moving forward smoothly.

Margaret gave face, and Roger also gave her face.

Combined with the efficiency and professionalism of the Imperial Military, the entire agenda moved forward very quickly.

After working together, Roger's evaluation of Margaret has improved a lot...

The little ceiling fan is still sensible and knows when to advance and retreat.

As long as she can know the true ideals of the Queen of Eternal Night and don't be self-righteous and make random contributions of loyalty, maybe she can really avoid her tragic ending in the game, and add another fearless and ruthless person to the road of magic industry...

Roger is already considering finding an opportunity to help Margaret in the future, or even absorb her as a comrade.

At this moment, Margaret is preparing to ambush Roger and take away Tashka in front of her!

Margaret feels that she has done her best for Tashka and the Orc Tribe.

She needed four guards to protect her, and she secretly sent a fifth person to improve Tashka's safety factor;

She needed intelligence support, and she promised to help Tashka train a group of sparrows;

She needed to collect the tribe's activity funds and various talent support, and she also sent the most elite personnel for all of them, and she was absolutely not perfunctory.

In short, there are many details, and she believes that Tashka must have seen them all, and she can understand that she is the one who is really good to her, and Roger is just using her to exchange for His Majesty's trust!

And the rhythm of the meeting in the past two days was controlled by her Margaret!

Compared to Roger, who would not speak if he could, I am full of style!

Even if that useless brother has the first-mover advantage, but after my unremitting efforts, it is self-evident who this simple princess leans towards, right?

Can your Lord Charles do all of the above?

At 3 pm, the meeting was on break.

Margaret specially arranged the most popular afternoon tea in Odu to liven up the tense atmosphere.

Since Lord Dio Brando set the precedent of drinking tea at 3 o'clock, it was quickly promoted by the military and Mrs. Mosconi and spread throughout the upper class of the imperial capital.

Soon the waiter added tea, and Margaret introduced her favorite snacks to Tashika and took the initiative to teach her the "upper-class way of eating".

Tashika smiled sweetly and looked grateful, but when Margaret was not paying attention, the half-dragon princess' heart followed Lord Charles out of the meeting room.

The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between us, but I am in front of you, but there is a little devil stuck in the middle.

Tashika knew that Margaret was also well-intentioned. At least when the staff opposed giving the orcs too much autonomy, she always stood firmly on her side.

Her excessive enthusiasm should be because there are very few mixed-race people like her in Aodu?

Tashika certainly knew about Qingteng, the powerful orc neighbor, and knew that this country still attaches great importance to noble status and national bloodline.

Although the Queen of Eternal Night tried to eliminate this tradition after unifying the Seventeen Kingdoms, everything takes time.

At this time, most of the people of Odu were referring to the "Empire" and "Imperial People" as the original Five Provinces and the native peoples living on them.

It takes time for the Seventeen Kingdoms to recognize Qingteng's rule, and it also takes time for Qingteng to accept the Seventeen Kingdoms.

It must be very hard for a half-blood demon orphan like Margaret to stand firm in the imperial court, right?

Holding back her impatience, Tashika tried to empathize with Margaret, so that she could feel better when she agreed with her...

But she still wanted to be with Lord Charles more (＞﹏＜)

Tashika didn't expect that Margaret's starting point was to "snatch" her from Roger.

But she guessed right about one thing, that she was indeed a rare "friend" that Margaret could communicate with.

Margaret was an orphan who was raised by the Queen of Eternal Night and received magic, military, and spy training since childhood.

She is a fanatical supporter of the Queen, a half-demon, and petty. She only has subordinates and collaborators in the world, but no close friends.

Of course, she thinks she doesn't need those things.

The Queen of Eternal Night is her sun. As long as she can bathe in the Queen's light, she will be super satisfied.

But in fact, no matter what race of intelligent life, the desire to communicate, brag, and pretend is a basic need.

Margaret doesn't chat on weekdays, but she chats a lot with Tashka, who is obedient and looks lovely, like a beautiful doll. No matter what she says, she always says "Wow, you are great", and the little devil's mentality is inevitably a little rippled.

She thought she was tricking Tashka, but she was tricked by Tashka unknowingly.

After the ripples, Margaret wanted to teach her that as half-bloods, she was the left prime minister of the empire, and she was a defeated princess. What is the difference?

The difference is that she follows the invincible Queen, but she doesn't!

So Margaret unconsciously pretended to be well:

"This is a snack that His Majesty particularly likes. I asked her for the recipe."

"Look at this space bracelet of mine. It was given by His Majesty. It has a constant temperature and humidity formation. The iced watermelon is especially delicious! Try it!"

"This communication bell leads directly to Fengling Yueying Palace. I can report anything I want to say directly to Madam Mosconi, and she will pass it on to His Majesty as soon as possible. This is trust!"

Tasika kept smiling and pretended to be very interested. She found out unconsciously...

When Margaret spoke of His Majesty, she could not say exactly the same thing as when she thought of Lord Charles, but it could only be said that it was exactly the same.

This discovery suddenly made her feel that the left prime minister of the empire was not so annoying anymore.

Although we are not following the same person, I understand how you feel at the moment.

…

…

Outside the conference room, Roger stroked his hand and said "yes" with a strange look on his face.

Immediately, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

The Queen of Evernight invited him to have afternoon tea together without any valid reason.

This sudden invitation made Roger couldn't help but think about it.

The Empress of Evernight is obviously a workaholic, and any contact with her is either at a cabinet meeting, there are political matters to discuss, or she simply goes to war and gets ob.

In short, I am either busy or on my way.

Naturally, Roger didn't dare to use small talk to ask for an audience with His Majesty. In that case, even if he went through his sister's back door, he would be slapped to death by his sister.

That's why he was surprised when he saw the message just sent by Queen Yongye.

Inform him to come to Maple Spirit Moon Shadow Palace with two words: drink tea.

So, is this just drinking tea, is it just chatting over tea, or is it just taking a look at oneself while chatting over tea?

Well, it must be very innocent, I have not changed my color!

In this way, we have more contact. Apart from the relationship between superiors and subordinates, we have a little...

Possibility of friendship?

Roger was thinking about his relationship with His Majesty, and there seemed to be signs of taking a small step towards expulsion?

Suddenly, the silly smile on Roger's lips subsided, revealing a horrified expression:

[Oops, I'm wasting my time just thinking about it here. I should go directly to the appointment! 】

That was the Queen's invitation. He didn't go directly, but thought randomly here...

There is nothing more stupid than this!

He quickly stepped on the insole of his travel shoes and teleported to the coordinates where the Queen of Evernight temporarily granted permission to him.

…

…

Maple Spirit Moon Shadow Palace.

The afternoon sun was just right, and in the green tree-shaded courtyard, Queen Yongye was sitting on a swing, tapping her toes on the ground, and her body was gently swaying with the vine branches.

She held a biography of the third dean of the Royal Academy of Magic in her hand, reading it quietly and unhurriedly, showing a thoughtful expression from time to time.

This dean is not particularly strong and has no outstanding achievements during his tenure.

But he has one specialty, that is, he is particularly good at enlightening students with poor magic talents and raising them to a height that they should not be in the first place.

All in all, this is a dean who can raise the threshold of apprentices.

The Queen of Evernight had never read this biography before, and she came across it by chance and added it to her reading list.

Subconsciously, she was already worried about the strength growth of a certain good-for-nothing younger brother, and wanted to find some inspiration from the success of her predecessors.

Strength is not only the basis for serving the empire, but also the basis for his safety.

There was a round oak table in front of her, with a pot of tea and two plates of snacks on it.

The Queen touched the temperature of the teapot and raised her brows.

The water is cold, why hasn't that guy arrived yet?

You won't agree well, so you can let me go, right?

Queen Yongye became a little unhappy, and her long-standing self-confidence also felt a little unstable.

Yes, even His Majesty has no reason to suddenly invite a minister to have afternoon tea...

You should always finish the work at hand before coming, after all, she is just a queen...

Something seems wrong! Do you dare to let go of the invitation from the majestic Queen?

The magic light flashed in her hands, and the water temperature returned to the right temperature for making tea.

It has reached a temperature that would definitely hurt if it were splashed on the face.

At this moment, a space door opened in front of him.

At the coordinates she authorized to teleport to, there is currently only one person with permission.
