Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"A visit from the Third Princess of Britain?"

Roland was slightly startled, turned around in his boss chair, and stared at the blonde girl behind him who was reporting in a soft voice.

The moment he looked over, Yucai Haimei's body trembled subconsciously, as if she was recalling the day that completely derailed her life.

But her good qualities as an unprofessional psychologist helped her overcome her fear and reveal a sweet smile.

"Yes, Lord Roland. Although we were notified in advance, the British side did not follow the normal diplomatic procedures and directly chartered the nearest flight, which arrived in Academy City around midnight today."

After being recruited by Roland, Yucai Haimei was ordered by Roland to serve as a secretary in charge of diplomatic affairs because he felt it was a waste to use a rare psychic with great ability as a killer.

Although the girl was somewhat reluctant about this kind of job at first, she was soon attracted by this easy and pleasant job.

The ability to freely adjust psychological distance is too unique in this regard. He stands in the outside world and does normal work openly, instead of doing dirty work in the dark.

Most importantly, the former's income is even higher than the latter's.

Therefore, Yucai Haimei takes this new job very seriously.

"Although the conventional armaments are ready, since the attack has not yet been officially launched, we will still receive the princess according to the normal procedures. Do you want to meet her?"

"Meeting..."

Roland exhaled, a hint of contemplation in his eyes, and then waved to Yu Cai Haimei.

Seeing this action, Yu Cai Haimei's pretty face blushed slightly, and she walked over with soft steps, lowered the chair slightly, then held Roland's head and placed it on her chest.

After completing this set of movements skillfully, Yu Cai Haimei stretched out her slender and slender fingers, held the side of Roland's head to prevent him from moving, and then pressed the acupoints flexibly like playing the piano, and gently massaged him.

Although she was a member of the Anbu before, the girl's life was no less comfortable than that of an ordinary young lady because she had always been well paid. She also learned the skills in this area by learning from her surroundings.

Feeling the wonderful touch coming from the back of his head, Roland also showed a satisfied expression.

Big breasts that sink in like pillows are of course very attractive, but if you are not sleeping for a long time and just massaging, a girl like Yucai Haimei who is petite but has perfect body curves is more likely to make people feel comfortable.

While Yucai Haimei was serving him, Roland fell into deep thought while enjoying the girl's soft skin and fragrance.

After a long while, he finally spoke in a somewhat lazy tone.

"How did the princess perform?"

"She was very calm. Even when she was told not to move around freely and had to wait for a meeting, she didn't complain. She even showed me her understanding. In my opinion, she wasn't just pretending."

Yucai Haimei recalled the scene in the morning and her expression relaxed a lot.

Although she was not particularly interested in the princess's identity, she was indeed left with a good impression by her during this meeting.

Mainly because of her attitude that seemed as if she had already made up her mind, Yucai Haimei felt a little sympathetic.

"Her only request is to meet with you, the current chairman, as soon as possible."

"He sounds like a good kid."

At such a sensitive moment, the Third Princess, who was also quite famous in the country, was sent deep into the enemy camp without any extra defense. Britain was, after all, a great power that maintained its independence under the pressure of the Roman Orthodox Church. They should be aware that this level of hostages and goodwill gestures would be useless for the situation.

It is even unclear whether it can be used as an excuse for war. After all, by the time it takes effect, a full-scale war may have already broken out.

When the country itself is unable to take care of itself, no one will care about a princess.

So, from this perspective, the purpose of this visit is more like...

In order to buy time from the evil dragon's claws that are greedy for treasure, a sacrifice named the princess is specially offered?

After changing his perspective and thinking about his own image, Roland guessed most of Kaelissa's purpose.

However, the princess's careful planning was in vain.

After all, for Roland, it would be a waste if the name Britain was only used to establish his authority.

"Then, meet her."

It just so happens that now is a pretty leisurely time.

The gears of destiny driven by the phase spark have not yet started to turn, but the predetermined goals and plans have also begun to get on track.

During this short period of time, Roland had originally planned to spend it with the girls.

Her clever behavior not only put her dear sister in danger, but also acted like an alarm clock, making her own presence more prominent and arousing his interest even more.

Not long after Yucai Haimei conveyed Roland's order, elegant yet anxious footsteps were heard in the corridor outside.

So fast?
Roland looked up in surprise. Judging from the distance between the embassy area and the building, even if the princess had been well prepared, it would be impossible for her to arrive so quickly at her normal speed.

Did she choose to use Yafei as a vehicle?

As a princess of a country, she puts her own safety in the hands of strangers. I don’t know if this is the confidence of the royal family or simply courage.

Roland stroked his chin and looked out the door with a subtle look in his eyes.

"Thank you for your invitation. I am Villian, the third princess of Britain. I would like to extend my greetings to you."

Although she came in alone without any guards, facing Roland's scrutinizing gaze, the girl's words and actions remained unchanged, and she still looked dignified and elegant.

Her long golden hair was elegantly tied up like a noble lady and wrapped in a veil draped behind her head, allowing the sunlight that came in to have a darker color, like flowing gold sand, exuding a graceful and luxurious temperament.

The fluffy dress has no extra decorations and is a light and natural light green color that complements the girl's fair skin.

As she lifted the hem of her skirt with her fingertips and pulled it up in a respectful gesture, she looked like a character from a fairy tale picture book, exuding an enviable noble temperament.

Princess Villian.

Among the three current princesses in Britain, she is undoubtedly the most famous.

The girl's kind and benevolent character and her approach to the people made her beloved by the people and she became famous for her virtues.

Now, Princess Villian's image has become a golden signboard in diplomacy. She often appears in the news. It is said that even civilian magazines use her reports as the main headlines.

In the original world, Roland might have seen it as a symbol that the royal family wanted to introduce a new queen, but in Toaru Majutsu no Index, such behavior would only reveal that the other party was just a vase.

Being low-key is not a rule of the royal family, but it is a common trait of those who hold power.

Even the current Queen of Britain does not attend every event in person, because there are always more important things that will divert her attention.

The fact that Villian is waved around like a flag but rarely appears in any of the really important news shows that she has no real power in the royal faction.

"No need to be polite, just do it in a way that feels comfortable to you. I always care more about the inner attitude than the superficial actions."

Roland snapped his fingers, causing the chair to emerge from the dark shadows. Although Princess Villian saw with her own eyes that the leader of the technology side used the means of the magic side, her expression did not seem to change.

After all, the scene on that day could not be hidden from anyone. It has become the mainstream argument internationally that Academy City was secretly using evil means to raise the ultimate weapon, but the Blue Dream Company, which was also involved, seized the opportunity to turn the tables.

Compared to this, she was more surprised that the mastermind who plunged the world into chaos looked like a gentle boy.

"Because I don't like politeness, I'll make it short. Princess Villian, what is your purpose in coming to Academy City alone despite the risk?"

After Villian sat down, Roland spoke without hesitation.

"In such a precarious time, if the situation changes, being held hostage is already a relatively good outcome. Although you don't have much autonomy given your status, you won't be pushed out as cannon fodder if you don't want to."

Although she has no real power, Villian is indeed the symbol of the British royal family. The royal faction is not a monolithic entity. If the person involved objects, such a thing will never be allowed.

"Because I want to convince you."

Villian, who knew very well how turbulent the world was right now, did not keep anyone in suspense and went straight to the point.

"If this continues, war will be inevitable. The complete defeat of the Roman Catholic Church will mean that the old structure and interests of the world will be redivided."

"And Academy City's rise is too rapid, and it will make every country fall into a state of panic."

"When interests and threats are present, and there is a hidden consensus, it is bound to lead to a war that no one can escape."

Although the technological side has greater influence in people's livelihood, overall, the magic side is the stronger side.

It’s just that due to the serious internal friction, no one is willing to be the first to take action.

But if a threat that all magicians try to avoid occurs, they will undoubtedly launch a frenzied counterattack under the impetus of many ambitious people and the estrangement that has existed for many years.

"But since Academy City has not yet launched an invasion and other countries have not yet expressed their stance, there is a possibility that things may turn around."

There was a coldness in the girl's azure eyes that was totally inconsistent with her appearance.

Although she has always been bullied by her sisters and even criticized by her mother for lacking in independent thinking because she cares too much about other people's feelings, from another perspective, being able to stick to her kind heart under such circumstances is also a different kind of stubbornness and strength.

"Not everyone looks forward to war. The larger the country, the more serious the internal strife."

Because there were examples of this everywhere around her, Villian looked deeply touched when she said this.

"There are certainly those who want to use this crisis to seek benefits, but the people who, like me, hope that this matter can be resolved peacefully are also a force that cannot be ignored."

"The fact that Academy City did not escalate the situation further has already laid a good foundation. All it takes is a simple attitude to make this disaster collapse from within."

"Of course, I'm not asking you to give up the benefits that Academy City deserves, but to use more roundabout means, such as... a marriage."

When she said this, Vivian's crystal clear earlobes also turned red.

"Because of the policies of the Roman Orthodox Church, Britain has been isolated in Europe, making it the most suitable agent."

"And by using the excuse of marriage, and only providing military assistance instead of going to war directly, we can also regain the benefits that the scientific side deserves."

Roland raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl in front of him with interest.

Although there is a bit of naive idealism in Villian's words, they are not completely impossible.

Now the main point of conflict between the countries of the world and Academy City is that they are worried that it will directly overturn the table, but after finding Britain as an agent, the conflict between the technological side and the magical side has become an old grudge between Britain and the countries under the Roman Orthodox Church.

Although this may seem like an attempt to cover up one's own faults, it does show that Academy City is willing to continue playing by the existing rules.

There are always people who are optimistic before the knife cuts themselves. Between going to war and starting a war, being in the middle is the norm.

These people do not necessarily have no ill will towards Academy City. After all, the threat to Academy City will not disappear just because it cannot be seen.

But also because of this, not all countries have the confidence to rashly go to war. They hope to extend the peace period of the Cold War and then use it to increase their foundation. Popularizing magic among the people is a very good plan, but it takes time to implement.

Therefore, if done properly, a delicate balance can be achieved.

Academy City can still absorb the fruits of this victory. Although Britain has been pushed onto the stage, it can also use this opportunity to restore its prestige and consolidate itself. Other countries have also gained some breathing time and are better prepared for a do-or-die battle.

In this brief peace that was enough to bring the world to a truce, the life of a princess was insignificant.

What's more, Villian herself is ready to make sacrifices.

"Before coming here, I have already told my mother about my idea and got her approval, so... I beg you to be my husband."

Because she was too nervous to say this in person, the girl leaned completely against the chair, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

The princess, who was so noble and dignified just now, now shows such a weak and shy posture, which is really heart-warming.

Roland stood up and strode to Villian, touching the girl's smooth, fair face.

Such a frivolous action made Villian's pretty face blush, but when she thought of the meaning of this action, a glimmer of hope flashed in the girl's eyes.

"Oh, I thought I was just chatting with a little girl to kill time, but I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain."

Roland chuckled.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Eh?"

Because Roland's reaction was so quick, Villian was stunned.

She had already prepared herself to be bullied and taken advantage of, but she didn't expect to achieve her goal so easily.

After watching Roland quickly sign the contract she brought, it was clearly a happy scene, but the girl felt a shadow for no apparent reason in her heart.

"Um... don't you need to think about it again?"

"I don't have the habit of pushing away girls who come to me. Besides, the premise for this cooperation to continue is that your mother is still on the throne. If that's the case, sooner or later you will unilaterally breach the contract, so it doesn't matter if I agree to it."

Roland said frankly, with some emotion.

"Thank you for your hard work. You were still operating even when the crystal exploded."

"Eh?"

Although she didn't fully understand what Roland said, Villian still had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Considering that the contract will not be effective for much time, it's better to stay here."

Roland tilted his head and looked at the stunned Villian, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he skillfully unbuttoned the collar of the girl's gorgeous dress.

"——Then I won't be shy." (End of this chapter)
