Unexpectedly, a small team of maids turned out to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. In addition to Tadel's people, Carlotta also placed eyeliner, and there might be a share of the second prince Andre who was away all the year round.
Elena thought about it, it was no wonder that Carlota was able to remain neutral in such an environment, she just didn't like to stand in line, and it wasn't that she didn't have a bit of political means.
"That doesn't matter. Anyway, Isabeth School of Magic is not far from the palace. If little Irene encounters any difficulties, she can come to me at any time."
As soon as the words fell, Carlota thought of something and told Elena with a serious expression.
"Little Irene, do you often communicate with Prince Tadel now?"
Volume 42: Chapter 39 Chapter [-] Prince Tadel couldn't help but be overjoyed
If we say that since last night, the topics of conversation between Carlota and Elena have always been about household chores and magic knowledge, then the moment the former mentioned Prince Tadel, the scope of their chat has subtly expanded to the political level .
Although Elena is informal in many aspects, she will always think about her future. Once Emperor Kanto, who is her backer, abdicates, her position will be extremely embarrassing. She lost her favor and had to find the next object of attachment in advance in order to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth she has today.
Among the two contenders for the throne, Tadel has a closer relationship with Elena because he has lived in the imperial capital for a long time. Carlota knows that this person is narrow-minded, tyrannical and greedy, and is definitely not a good investment target, so he does not feel It is not supported that Elena has too much communication with him.
As for the second prince Andre, Carlotta didn't have much contact with him, and he didn't know what the other's temperament was, so he always had reservations.
"Sister Carlotta doesn't want me to see him often?" Elena asked softly.
Carlotta nodded with a serious expression: "Prince Tadel, he is not a very good person to associate with."
She seriously doubted that the noble and arrogant attitude of Elena before was just imitating the other party.
Hearing that Carlota was like an old mother educating her little daughter, telling her that the child of a certain family was worthless and told her not to play with him, Elena curled her lips, once again feeling Carlota's concern for her.
In fact, the original owner has quite a few things. The emperor Cantor who dotes on her very much, the almost perfect loyal dog maid Catherine, and Countess Carlotta who takes care of her like her own daughter. His actions chilled the hearts of those around him a little bit.
"I see, Sister Carlotta." Elena's tone was serious, and Carlota's cheek was reflected in her bright red eyes.
Sensing the completely different cold temperament of the girl in front of her, Carlota lost her mind for a short while, and then woke up from the great contrast for a moment, laughing secretly that she lost her composure in front of the junior.
But... Elena has indeed changed a lot... This change is not only reflected in the body, but more in the psychological level.
She has become mature and stable.
Seeing Carlotta staring at her in a daze, Elena made a sound at the right time, interrupting the other party's thoughts.
"Sister Carlotta, I may need your help with something."
Carlotta brushed up a lock of black hair, and refocused her gaze: "What's the matter?"
"I want to borrow a batch of maids from you to fill the vacancies in the maid team."
She said it was to make up for the gaps of the maid team, but Eileen actually wanted to use them to do things that she was inconvenient to do herself.
Carlota is obviously a better choice than training from scratch or looking for someone important to Prince Tadel.
"It's simple. I'll go back to the manor to make arrangements after I finish teaching today."
Carlotta didn't think in other directions, but thought that Elena, the pampered princess of the empire, was not used to her life without servants.
"Then thank you, Sister Carlotta."
As soon as Elena finished speaking, Carlota glanced at her resentfully, her brows seemed not very happy.
"Little Irene still says thank you to me?" the woman said coquettishly.
Elena fluttered her eyelashes a few times when she heard this, and said in a low voice.
"Blame me for saying the wrong thing."
"It's almost there."
After chatting casually for a while, half an hour passed quickly. When they arrived at the gate of Isabeth Magic Academy, Carlota got out of the carriage, and Elena also saw her off for a while, and then returned to Testia and Catherine. the compartment in which it is located.
"It's time to go back," Elena said.
Testia looked at Elena upon hearing the words, and her gaze just met the gaze projected by the other party in mid-air.
The next second, Testia pursed her lips, lowered her head, her sky blue eyes silently looked at the Mary Jane shoes in front of her.
"Miss Testia didn't sleep well last night?" Elena felt that Testia was a little depressed, and asked her in a cold voice.
After two seconds, Testia nodded and answered in a low voice.
"I didn't sleep much."
Her Highness Elena's tone was not cold at all when she spoke to Count Carlotta...but when it comes to her...
Realizing that she was thinking about something she shouldn't have expected, Testia's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible in the end.
Seeing Testia's soft and weak appearance, Elena was afraid that she would be scolded by her pitiful appearance, so she couldn't help asking herself whether she had been too strict with her recently.
"Then get a good rest when you get back to the palace. Practicing absent-mindedly will only waste the time of Catherine and me."
Smelling a trace of patchouli that didn't belong to Elena's skirt next to her, a little disappointment that she didn't even notice flashed in Testia's eyes, and her pink lips parted slightly.
"Okay, Your Highness Elena."
Ten minutes later, the three of them arrived outside the palace. As soon as Elena got out of the car, she saw a person she didn't want to see, Prince Tadel.
"Princess, we meet again."
Prince Tadel was wearing a loose robe, looking at Elena with a smile on his face.
Of course Eileen didn't believe it was a coincidence, probably they were detected by the other side's spies as soon as they entered the imperial capital.
"What a coincidence, is the emperor going out too?" Eileen asked in a presumptuous manner.
Hearing that she stayed overnight in Carlotta's manor and got out of the same carriage with her the next day, I'm afraid Tadel was happier in his heart than Elena herself who had just repaired the relationship with Carlotta.
"Yes, some things really need me to go to the suburbs to deal with them myself."
After the beginning of spring, a part of the land near the imperial capital suddenly became lifeless and difficult to cultivate. Emperor Kanto entrusted Prince Tadel with the task of finding out the cause and asked him to resolve the matter within 25 days.
Now it's the No.20 day of the deadline, and the land that has just improved has deteriorated again, but the man has a countermeasure in mind, so he is not in a hurry. Hearing that Elena has entered the imperial capital, he waited at the gate for a while.
"How was the banquet? Count Carlotta must be full of praise for the gift from the royal sister."
Tadel looked at Elena with a smile, trying to get any useful information from the other party's reaction.
Seeing this, Elena felt amused, and just pushed all the reasons for her friendship with Carlotta to the bottle of perfume.
"I heard that the perfume was made by me. Count Carlotta liked it very much, so he specifically asked me to stay in the manor for an extra night..."
"Before leaving, Count Carlotta gave me a batch of maids with great enthusiasm, saying that they were to fill the vacancies in the maid team. I couldn't shirk it, so I had to accept them all."
Volume 43: Chapter 40 Chapter [-] The Time Bomb Outside the Imperial Capital
Tadel, who didn't know much about Carlotta, was still addicted to the fantasy that the other party might support him as a leader. He didn't know that the former had repeatedly emphasized to Elena in the carriage to keep her away from his narrow-mindedness. An arrogant prince fighting for power and profit.
"It seems that Count Carlotta really likes the perfume you sent..."
The corners of Tadel's lips were raised, and his short golden hair was shining brightly in the light.
"I don't know if I will have this honor in the future, and I can also get a gift made by the imperial sister."
Of course there will be gifts, but I'm afraid you may not be so willing to accept them when the time comes.
Eileen reached out her hand to touch her lips, with a faint smile on her beautiful cheek: "If there is a chance, I will definitely give Brother Huang a big gift."
For example, an admission ticket to a single room in Burley Prison, with silver handcuffs as thick as arms and a luxury package that drains all mental energy.
The siblings exchanged a few words with each other, Tadel raised his head and saw Testia standing behind Elena, his eyes were a little more fiery and greedy.
It's been more than half a month, isn't Elena tired of playing?
Sensing Tadel's malicious gaze, Testia lowered her eyes, let her long pale pink hair cover her ears, and leaned a little behind Elena calmly with her white silk snow legs.
"Brother Huang, is there any important business to go out of the city this time?"
Seeing this, Eileen frowned slightly, her voice still kept its original sweetness.
Hearing the voice, Tadel slowly withdrew his gaze from Testia's cheek, touched the collar of his robe with his fingers, and spoke in a particularly accommodating manner.
"Some time ago, my father asked me to deal with the fact that the land in the suburbs was not suitable for farming. The situation had improved, but it suddenly rebounded these days."
"I've got to go see what's going on there."
There are quite a few people who know about this matter, and Tadel didn't want to hide it from Elena. After all, the latter has always been insensitive to political matters, and I still hope that he is one of the supporters who will take over.
When necessary, he had to arrange for Elena to do some dirty work so that she could be firmly bound to his warship.
After hearing the words, Elena quickly put on a confused expression as if she understood but didn't fully understand. For a moment, she nodded slightly and responded softly.
"So that's the case, Brother Huang really worked hard."
"The emperor's words are serious. Sharing worries for parents is what children should do. Father is always busy with everything. Naturally, I should share some pressure for him."
Tadel took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, and gave another high-sounding speech. Elena felt a little annoyed when she heard it, and kept her face calm.
Five minutes later, Tadel felt that he had stayed in the palace for too long, so he excused himself from Elena, then got into a carriage surrounded by servants, and drove out of the city.
Seeing the little black dot disappearing at the end of her field of vision, Eileen's eyes gradually deepened, and some key information was vaguely grasped in her mind.
The original novel completely follows Testia's perspective, and there are not many descriptions of Elena and Tadel. If she hadn't changed the plot, the heroine of Destiny at this moment should find a baked bread with Lena's help Working as a salesperson during the day and exercising mental strength at night, he never had the chance to get in touch with too many secrets of the royal family.
And during the year she was staying in the imperial capital, Testia would often show kindness and distribute the bread that was not sold out during the day to the homeless for free. Everything went smoothly at first, until a certain period of time later, the The number of homeless people has dropped sharply. Testia has been puzzled by this for a long time. After several investigations, she finally learned a truth that shocked her from a homeless man whose leg was broken.
Those homeless people who disappeared did not die of cold or hunger, but were packed in sacks by a group of people in black clothes, and transported out of the city at night, and they were never heard from again.
At that time, Testia had no power, lack of information sources, and her own hard power was not enough, so she couldn't open this copy in advance until she entered the second year of Isabeth Magic Academy. He was promoted to a high-level great knight, and at the same time, a major event that shocked everyone happened outside the imperial capital.
Several corpses were dug up from the land in the suburbs. Black undead wandered around in the fields. They spread panic and despair. They slaughtered more than a dozen small nearby villages in less than a week, causing Emperor Cantor to be very surprised. Outraged, he immediately sent troops to clean up.
This cleaning operation lasted for a whole month, until Testia and the accompanying legendary mage Carlotta went deep underground, and finally found the source of pollution in a giant lair.
It was a sarcoma-shaped monster made up of countless souls with resentment for death, nourished by human blood essence, it became bloody and violent, and once the thick tentacles on the surface of the sarcoid were spread out, they would be enough to cover the sky.
With the help of Carlotta and a group of soldiers, Testia successfully killed the sarcoma, and completely destroyed the possibility of its rebirth with the magic of the Holy Light system.
Calculating from the date at that time, it is very likely that the monster is not yet fully developed. The reason why the land outside the city cannot be cultivated is because once the seeds fall, they will be absorbed by it, and they cannot germinate and grow at all.
Could it be that Prince Tadel failed to solve the problem within the stipulated time limit, and then temporarily suppressed the sarcoma with some special means, resulting in a catastrophe.
There are not many descriptions of this part of the plot, mainly to show Testia's extremely high talent in holy light magic, and it is precisely because of this incident that Tadel, who was behind the scenes, became Testia's immortal One of his enemies, his accomplice Elena was also involved, but she was not involved much, and eventually ended up in prison.
Walking into the majestic imperial palace, the bright sunshine shone on the girl's long silver-white hair, giving off a soft and warm color.
Elena's footsteps became heavier and her thoughts raced.
Thinking about it this way, this guess is almost inseparable. Tadel must have discovered that using living creatures can temporarily enhance the vitality of the land, so he has been carrying out similar sacrifices in order to cover up his failure.
For him, nobles and commoners are two completely different types of creatures, not to mention the wanderers who live under them. In Tadel's eyes, they are just a pile of rotten meat wrapped in rags, even Not as good as a loaf of bread or a glass of grout.

The carriage left the imperial capital and galloped along the road to the distance. The tall tower-like buildings outside the window gradually turned into flat, low and continuous wooden houses, and were finally completely replaced by the unobstructed blue sky.
An hour later, Tadel arrived at an abandoned farmland in the outskirts. The man lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage. His ornate pointed shoes stepped on the ground and splashed fine dust.
Seeing this, several male servants dressed as servants hurried forward and spoke respectfully.
"Reporting to Your Highness Tadel, the situation in the field has deteriorated."
Tadel raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and gently stroked the metal cufflinks on his wrist with his fingers, with an arrogant expression.
"What happened?"
The seeds were fine a few days ago, why did they suddenly fail today?
After hearing this, the male servant responded in a low voice: "According to Magister Belin, these seeds that have been planted are losing their vitality little by little, and they will probably die completely by tomorrow night."
The so-called Magister Belin was a curly-haired man wearing mage robes and a cold face. Hearing the servant mentioning him, Belin took the initiative to take over the topic.
"I have seen His Highness Tadel. I have already tried switching between the elemental vision and the plant birthing technique. The condition of those seeds is indeed not very good."
"As before, the problem of crop failure is mainly due to the soil. I can't feel obvious vitality from it, as if the land is not even visited by ants and worms."
As an intermediate magister, Belin had never encountered a similar situation. The land in front of him seemed to be cursed by something, and no creature could survive in it for a long time.
Just downright weird.
