"There is also the expenditure on the kitchen in the palace. Your Highness Grace can take a look if she is interested."

This kind of cramming-like teaching allowed Grace to confirm almost immediately that Victoria was asking Caroline to perfunctory her.

"it is good."

Grace was not in a hurry and just nodded.

Knock, knock, knock, there was suddenly a rhythmic knock on the door, as if someone was coming.

"Sorry, Your Highness."

Caroline bowed slightly to Grace, then stood in front of the golden door and discussed with the soft female voice for a long time.

Grace vaguely heard only a few words like "information report", "financial report" and "urgent".

Then Caroline came in with an anxious look on her face, but this time she was holding a tall official document in her hands.

She piled the account books on the desk, rummaged through the lockers for a while, and finally took out two thin account books.

"Your Highness Grace, please wait a moment. I want to deliver something to Her Highness Victoria. Can you stay here for a while?"

Grace felt a little strange. She glanced at the official documents piled on the desk and nodded.

"can."

Caroline showed a grateful smile and bowed slightly with her light body, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

Bang, the study door closed tightly, and then only Grace was left in the empty room.

……

As the secretary-general of Her Royal Highness Victoria, the most prestigious princess in the empire, she must have extraordinary abilities.

And Caroline is not only smart and capable, but also meticulous, and everything is organized in every detail.

Maintaining a certain degree of suspicion will actually reduce work errors.

Caroline walked through the corridor with steady steps and finally arrived at the reception hall.

Her Royal Highness Victoria was sitting in the center of the hall, playing chess with Cardin Ambassador Mr. Richard, who was wearing a domed hat and a white robe.

"Ambassador Richard, in this game of chess, your king has been forced into a blind corner. The knight controls the blind corner, and the queen is close behind. How should you solve it next?"

Her Highness the Third Princess crossed her fingers and leaned against her chin, sandwiching the round black chess piece between them. Her red eyes were full of high spirits.

Caroline stepped forward slowly, bowed slightly, and reminded softly,

"Your Highness..."

Victoria raised her eyebrows slightly. She placed the chess pieces on the table gracefully and calmly and stood up. She smiled confidently.

"Give Ambassador Richard some time to think first, and I'll deal with a small matter first."

Then, she followed Caroline to a hidden corner of the hall.

Victoria stood at the junction of half-light and half-darkness, her elusive red eyes shining clearly.

Caroline leaned against the wall and said cautiously:

"Your Highness, I have placed tiny strands of hair on top of the official document and in the cracks of the locker. If there are any traces of turning, I will report to you as soon as possible."

For Victoria, she was trapped in a whirlpool of emotions, as hazy and confused as seeing flowers in a fog.

But for Caroline, a rational outsider, who was motivated by Victoria's interests, she proposed the idea of ​​testing Grace to Her Royal Highness.

Of course, Victoria refused at the first moment, but after she really thought about it, she finally agreed to Caroline's approach.

Only by being cautious at every step can there be no flaws.

Victoria's eyes were scattered on the cashmere blanket. She neither confirmed nor denied, but left ambiguous words.

"I don't need the process, I just want to know the result."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Caroline nodded, she couldn't help but asked curiously,

"If Your Highness Grace really has a strange mind that betrays you, what do you need me to do in advance?"

The current light was neither bright nor dark, and Victoria's dark red eyes were as red as thick, stagnant blood.

The murderous intention of Her Royal Highness floated in the cold air.

Victoria may have vaguely imagined some of that future in her mind.

Caroline felt an association with "blood" from the gloomy look in her eyes.

Victoria thought for a long time, and finally uttered a few words slowly,

"She won't be the one to betray."

It is actually normal for curious children to flip through official documents.

Caroline sighed, and she gently reminded, "Your Highness! Are you acting too decisively?"

"Caroline, it's a good habit to stay alert and on guard, but sometimes, you also need to wait until the hook bites firmly before closing the pole."

Her Royal Highness the Third Princess smiled softly, "It is not a good thing to catch wind and shadow."

As soon as the conversation between the two ended, and before Victoria could return to her seat, a maid hurriedly came to report.

"Her Royal Highness Victoria, Miss Avro Argerich came to visit Her Royal Highness Grace today with a bouquet of roses and a bouquet of tulips."

Rose?tulip?Avro?

Victoria's eyebrows suddenly sank. She felt that the current development of the situation was like a wild horse running wildly towards the unimaginable.

"You take me to see her."

……

At the same time, Grace, who was turning the pages of the book with her slender index finger in the study, gradually became unable to sit still in the wheelchair.

I have waited too long.

The silence extended the linear time. Grace rolled her glass-like eyes and finally glanced at the backlit bookcase.

The door was closed, and Caroline was out for a long, long time.

Old enough to have the opportunity to take out the key from the secret compartment of the drawer and look into the contents of the locker.

So, let's take a gamble. If there is no news about the magic crystal leaking out, we can also see if there is any useful information.

Snap, Grace closed the book decisively.

She put her hands on the rolling axle of the wheelchair and headed towards the desk without hesitation.

85. Why did you lock the door?

Gurgling, the golden roller slowly moved forward and stopped in front of the desk.

However, Grace was not in a hurry to turn over the materials that Caroline brought, but quietly observed with a field of vision slightly higher than the desk.

The cost of the silver-white writing desk is similar to that of a square piano, and the overall design presents a gorgeous retro style. The left and right sides of the desk are heightened to create three drawers for storage.

The official documents on the table were deliberately sorted and sorted, and stacked on the horizontal platform connected to the storage drawers. In order to prevent the documents from being messed up, they were even covered with a gold and white inlaid square lion sculpture.

Further down, there are still drawers for storing official documents on the left and right sides, and of course there is a hidden drawer at the bottom of the desk.

Grace took another look and saw that the backlit, patterned storage cabinet was thoughtfully locked by Caroline.

Everything was in order, except for the official document that Caroline had temporarily moved in, which was placed in a somewhat messy manner in the center of the desk.

Grace held her breath and took a closer look. On the top layer of official paper printed with the royal crest, it was written clearly in blue ink:

Your Majesty Your Royal Highness Victoria, Princess Victoria,

After learning that Your Highness is about to go to the northwest to quell the empire's rebellion, we, on behalf of the people of the Empire, have decided to follow Your Highness and give him ten tons of grain, one thousand war horses, one thousand sets of armor, and one thousand elite knights.

It is reported that Princess Phoenix, the remnant of Ibro, has not joined forces with the Allied Forces of the Holy East Kingdom but has repeatedly won battles. This shows that the people of Ibro Province are in disarray.

Also, Your Highness, my daughter Erica will be holding an engagement dinner next Saturday, and I hope you will enjoy it.

I know very well that Your Highness, you and Cardin...

Reading the official letter stopped abruptly at this point, and the next content can only be seen after opening the official document.

As a paper for official letterheads, a large portion of the upper left corner needs to be printed with the national flower to represent its sacredness, so there is very little content that can be written on it.

Who is the sender?And does Victoria have any deal with Cardin?Or are you talking about the leakage of magic crystals?

Grace stared at the official document hesitantly and did not move. She once again carefully observed the letterhead and the furnishings on the desk.

I always felt that a person as flawless as Caroline would not do such a thing.

What the hell is wrong?

Grace began to remember.

Caroline pushed herself into the study, chatted, then chatted with the maid outside the house, came in again, and then went out...

It should be said that something was wrong from the beginning.

She tilted her head and stared for a long time, and finally found a small brown hair in an inconspicuous place between the first official document and the bottom.

Only a short section is exposed, but it is thrilling.

This is a trap!

Grace's eyes widened in shock. It was obvious that Caroline could ask the maid who delivered the official documents to directly bring the materials Victoria needed.

As a servant who transports secrets, he is generally qualified enough to have access to Victoria.

There was no need for Caroline to deliver it in person. This time it was completely a test set for herself.

Victoria…Victoria…

Grace recited her name silently in her heart, her eyes were so serious for the first time, her thin white fingers clenched into fists, and she stared closely at the letter.

Then you will be able to live in temptation for a long time, right?

As if she had accepted some kind of challenge, the girl's eyes were as bright as stars and she smiled softly.

Grace had seen Caroline's account book of her kitchen's income and expenses.

Accounting in and out, methodical and almost flawless.

But this is too false. In modern times with relatively advanced technology, there is no way to ensure such clarity. It is precisely because the account books have no flaws that they are all flaws.

It’s something that is used to perfunctory oneself. As for the things that Victoria used for fishing, you can imagine whether there are any important things.

Grace no longer planned to continue reading the official documents, but pushed herself to the bright window, closed her eyes, and activated the skill [Dark Perception] granted by the system.

Dark perception, as the name suggests, closes your eyes or is in the dark, and can display the surrounding things in different spectra like an image analyzer.

To put it simply, it is similar to the setting of Eagle Eye. In RPG games, it is a prompt skill that helps the protagonist find key props.

Gloomy darkness came, and Grace perceived the entire study in the foggy darkness.

There is no abnormality to the left or forward, but something seems to be wrong on the right.

The halo of the wall turns into a bright pink color similar to a hidden door.

Grace opened her eyes alertly, and in her field of vision were bookcases piled layer by layer with books.

oh?It is not unusual to build a small cubicle in your own palace that cannot be seen from the light.

But when she thought of the three princesses in the original introduction to the game world, Victoria was a complete slut, Grace couldn't help but think about it.

But what is this compartment used for?What could she hide here?

Is it to hide treasures that cannot be seen, or to lock up something special?

Could there be a lot of suspicious props hidden inside?Or a private basement used for executions?

Suddenly, a faint sound of horse hooves came from far downstairs. Although it was weak, it was still keenly captured by Grace.

Yes, the confidence I had in peeking into official documents was also due to my good and keen hearing.

Grace rolled her wheelchair to the window. Through the transparent glass that reflected clear shadows, she saw a speeding carriage in the garden path downstairs.

In the cold wind of winter, the silver-white griffon on the fluttering family flag is majestic and eye-catching.

Ah... I can't stand it anymore.

Her eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly, Grace sighed helplessly and rubbed her temples in annoyance.
