Unable to see through the emperor's thoughts, Victoria could only ask cautiously: "Father...what do you want to ask?"
Kevin did not look at Victoria, but gently touched the precious gems like a lover.
"Have you ever imagined what it feels like to hold supreme power in your hands?"
Victoria turned her eyes and immediately put her palm on her right chest, performing imperial noble etiquette, expressing her loyalty to Kevin, and praising sincerely:
"Father, you are the master who revitalized the Rhine Empire. Only you have such supreme rights under the blue sky of the Rhine Empire."
"cold……"
The emperor raised his head, his cold eyes seeming to penetrate his soul, "It feels cold sitting in this seat."
Then he took a page of golden official paper from the desk, threw it on Victoria's body, and asked in a low voice with a majestic voice,
"The Ibro people in the northeast are eyeing the fertile land of the Rhine Empire. The Ling floods have destroyed the residences of many empire citizens. Tell me, what are you doing?"
The flying papers were flying in the air. Kevin lowered his eyes and watched calmly as Victoria picked up the official documents in a panic. This time he raised his voice and his momentum was like a lion.
"As the third princess of the Rhine Empire, what are you doing? Victoria, you make me feel chilled."
Victoria lowered her head and glanced at the official document. It was obviously an official document of jointly establishing the heir apparent.
The most taboo thing for an emperor is to form cliques for personal gain. This kind of forced official document to establish a crown prince is undoubtedly the stupidest form of forced palace.
To make his father suspicious of him, is this what Karta wants?
"Father, what are you talking about - jointly establishing a heir apparent?"
Kevin sneered and said in a chilling tone, "Victoria, do you feel that your current status can no longer satisfy you?"
"Father, I have never had such thoughts."
Victoria was prepared for this. She put her right hand on her left breast and bowed at a ninety-degree angle with knightly etiquette.
Then, he used his slender index finger to touch the bright red names on the official document and argued word for word,
"The son of Duke Francis drank alcohol and stabbed four imperial patrol knights half a year ago. Brother Carta asked the Imperial Capital Interrogation Department to use illegal means to release him on bail."
"Minister of Education, Brother Carta presented the famous painting "The Lament of the Goddess" worth [-] gold coins at the banquet held by his wife last year."
"Lieutenant General Louise married Carta's brother's distant cousin, Miss Nadia, five years ago."
"Father...do you need me to continue?"
"If I have a rebellious mind, then as a smart person, I shouldn't stand here calmly."
After speaking in one breath, Victoria raised her head and looked directly at Kevin with firm eyes, her tone seemed to become aggrieved as she revealed her inner thoughts.
"Did you know? There was someone in my dormitory yesterday -! Constructing a magical illusion... If I wasn't discussing Cardan's business with people for the empire, then I wouldn't even have a chance to stand here and talk to you today."
"Father, I'm very scared. I've been so blatant as to assassinate a member of the royal family for the second time. Who will be my next target? Father, have you ever thought about it?"
At this point, she pursed her lips and lowered her head in dissatisfaction - of course, she was acting to show Kevin.
Kevin already knew who was responsible.
He glanced indifferently at Victoria, who was lowering her head, and the conversation suddenly changed.
"Do you feel aggrieved? The treasury reported that you opened the treasury privately."
"Yes, Father, Princess Grace needs the Kress Magic Grass to save her life... We can't let the Rhine royal family become a joke of the Cardans, so I opened the treasury without authorization."
"However, I blocked the news that the imperial sister was injured again in advance, so there is no risk."
Victoria said while carefully studying Kevin's expression.
On the wrinkled male face, Kevin just raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Well... you did a good job. The honor and interests of the Rhine Empire are the most important. Internal fighting will only plunge the country into turmoil."
For him, Treasure City is just for freshness and fame. The most important thing is to keep his rights and expand them.
"Look at the current situation. The Ling floods have burst the dykes, the country is in turmoil, and the rebellion of the Ibro people in the northeast is getting more and more intense. What do you think you should do now?"
Victoria followed Kevin's gaze, and the emperor's ambitious eyes had already planned his way out.
It is the northwest territory of the empire hanging on the red wall.
The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Before the emperor's strength was shaken, all Victoria could do was to endure.
So she raised her head, looked directly into Kevin's eyes, and said loyally,
"Rhine is an empire born of swords and fire. Father, as a member of the Rhine Empire, I am willing to go and put down the rebellion."
"Okay! Then I will give you my sword."
There was a half-smile on the emperor's face, and he patted Victoria gently as a reward.
"As my daughter, as the most dazzling princess in the empire, you should come back victorious and capture Phoenix alive!"
"And then—the empire will grant you the glory you deserve."
For Kevin, this was a necessary step.
He not only needs to weaken Victoria's power, but also give Victoria a glimmer of hope and slowly balance it.
He would not make Victoria crown prince.
But Karta is not of much use, the fourth prince has not returned from the battlefield in Nadu Bihai, and the sixth prince is only ten years old and too young... It is necessary to support new candidates as soon as possible to balance the crown prince pattern.
For some reason, Kevin suddenly thought of Grace, who was assassinated many times...
Kevin frowned again in complex disgust.
she?He has a weak personality and is no different from a vase. As that woman's child, it is better to die as soon as possible.
……
At the same time, on the other side of the palace, a busy nun was preparing lunch for the delicate princess in the servant's kitchen.
"I don't want to eat what the maid made. Hey, Afro, can you make me a lunch with your own hands?"
——Grace made the request with a straight face and confidently.
How could there be any reason to reject one's own savior?
Avro originally wanted to follow Grace's taste, but suddenly something occurred to her - Her Royal Highness seemed to be very resistant to sweets.
I resist it to the point where I will vomit if I eat it.
Therefore, when it was time to put the sugar, Miss Avro held up the brown-gray sugar bowl and hesitated in place.
Even white bread tastes terrible without sugar and butter.
As the Royal Highness, Grace should learn to enjoy a little... sweets are things that make people feel happy.
For such a lonely, pitiful, and slightly lovely Princess, it’s okay to feel a little bit of happiness, right?
So Afro added a little bit of sugar.
"All right."
Avro clapped his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at the masterpiece on the round dinner plate with satisfaction.
The delicate and delicious cream cake is covered with a beautiful layer of frosting, and the simple and delicate sandwich is filled with fried eggs and fresh vegetables, plus a piece of medium-rare steak with an attractive color.
It looks very rich. Her Royal Highness should be satisfied.
"Miss Avro, do you need us to help you?"
"Need not."
Avro stubbornly refused the help of the maids to push the cart. She held the silver handle, her clean face full of expectant joy, and slowly pushed the dining cart to the palace where the girl was.
The iron roller rolled round and round, and Avro passed through the long and narrow oil painting corridor and finally arrived in front of the closed door.
His brother Nurki had already left, leaving only his father and His Royal Highness in the huge room, and there was a vague and intimate conversation.
What will they talk about?
Avro raised his pointed ears and leaned forward curiously.
But unfortunately, as Victoria's palace, the walls are made of almost completely soundproof materials, so it can only be roughly judged from the sound - there are people inside.
I have no idea what to do or what to talk about.
……
And as the sound passed through the thick walls, in the quiet palace, Her Royal Highness was lying quietly on the velvet bed leaning against the bedside, her hands folded in front of her belly, and she was looking at Ke Ang expectantly with her shining red pupils. .
"Marquis Coen Argerich, according to you, the joint document has been sent to His Majesty. What do you think His Majesty will do now?"
Ke Ang has been struggling in the political arena for a long time, and the loving eyes he looked at Grace before have turned into seriousness and caution.
"We will gradually weaken Victoria's power through overt praise and covert praise, support new forces to fight against it, and then wait for the return of the fourth prince, gradually lay the foundation for the team, and finally establish the heir apparent."
Grace showed a playful smile and supported her chin with her palm, "What is the specific method?"
Ke Ang's eyes flashed with concern as he thought, and he said steadily: "I can't fathom the depth of His Majesty's intentions..."
"Marquis de Coen, do you want to climb to a higher position?"
Plain words, speaking with little to no cover.
Ke Ang's eyebrows twitched in alarm as he looked at the supposedly weak Princess.
No, it shouldn't be weak. Her performance in court was enough to show her madness and ambition.
"Ah, even if you don't answer, your expression is betraying your thoughts, you look so ambitious."
The girl curled her hair with her slender index finger, and in a calm tone like "Let's go on an outing today," she said breathtaking words——
"Let me tell you, Marquis Coon, why don't you support me to become the crown prince?"
"Don't you want to try what it feels like to reach the sky in one step? How will you know if you don't give it a try?"
Grace's cold voice contained endless ambition, like a demon leading mortals to fall step by step, using desire to pull Keon into the trap of the alliance.
To be honest, no one wants to climb up. From birth, people want to find their exact place in the group.
But this is not fixed. Climbing can change destiny and class.
"Your Highness Grace."
Ke Ang's ambitious eyes seemed to find their home all of a sudden. He placed his right hand on his left chest close to his heart, bowed with imperial etiquette, and sincerely reached a consensus.
"After the engagement was signed, we were already sailors on a merchant ship."
"smart people."
Grace showed a satisfied smile,
"Marquis Coon, Avro will be back soon. I will come to you if necessary in the future. You don't have anything to go back to in advance, right?"
"Of course, Your Highness Grace, I wish you a good afternoon."
After Ke Ang finished speaking, he turned around, and his figure gradually left with a steady pace.
Grace looked out the window at the rising scorching sun. The current weather was countless times better than the cold and chilling snowy days before.
Spring is coming, Grace squinted her eyes and covered the bright glimmer with her hands like a cat.
Gurgling, the sound of the roller sounded, and a figure that was brighter than the sun slowly appeared.
The beautiful blond hair swayed gently with the light footsteps, the fair skin shone under the sunlight, and the green eyes were clean and clear.
The kind and lovely Miss Afro, with eyes like crescent moons and a smile on her face, appeared pushing the dining cart to the bedside.
"What are you talking about with your father?"
Sitting down beside Grace's bed without hesitation and affectionately, she half-backed her body, tilted her head, and asked curiously.
I have to say that a sincere smile always has the power to infect people's hearts.
Grace didn't know why she felt very happy when she saw that smile.
But there was no need for her to show such emotions, so she still said coldly: "It's about the marriage."
"Marriage?"
Avro immediately frowned in alarm.
"Correct."
Grace nodded in affirmation and glanced at Avro.
That golden smile disappeared in an instant, like some kind of strange face-changing art, which was particularly interesting.
