Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

"Good evening, Miss Delvis~"

An Nuo was wearing a long white dress. The light pantyhose of the same color wrapped her two slender and round jade legs. The corners of the woman's lips were smiling, and her fingers were crossed against her chest. The precious gemstones dotted on the skirt material shone brightly with her movements. Bright light, emerald green color is almost consistent with the other party's pupils.

"Good evening, Miss Anno."

Delphis responded indifferently, putting her palm on the doorknob and never letting go.

Feeling that Delphis's attitude seemed to be more indifferent than before, exuding a cold aura of don't disturb her if there's nothing to do, An Nuo continued to smile, and he probably understood in his heart.

The other party guessed that she was complaining that she didn't come to the castle last night, so she put on such a gesture of keeping strangers away.

After all, Delphis is just a 14-year-old girl who is not loved by anyone. She lives in the castle every day, so it is not surprising that she wants someone to accompany her every day.

"Last night, I had some unforeseen business and stayed outside all night. How is Miss Delphis doing? Are you satisfied with those books?"

The woman's voice was as gentle as ever, like the wind blowing into the castle at the beginning of spring, Delphis clenched her hands tightly, her eyes deepened.

Is An Nuo explaining to her?

They are just a pure lease relationship, why bother to tell her those unnutritious nonsense.

Delphis selectively ignored the sense of uneasiness that quickly melted in her heart, and her cherry pink lips slowly opened and closed.

"The book is not bad."

The tone was slightly cold, but it was no longer as unreasonable as it was at the beginning. After hearing this, An Nuo became more and more convinced that his thoughts were right, and he continued to add with curved lips.

"That's good. In order to prevent Miss Delvis from finding someone to borrow books during this time, I will try to come here every night."

"Yesterday was just an accident."

For children, the promise of an adult is very important. Once a promise is made, it cannot be easily broken. Considering the priority of the matter and some unexpected situations that cannot be taken into account, An Nuo cannot promise to come to the castle every day. He can only use Try these words to dispel Delphis' inner uneasiness.

After hearing An Nuo's emphasis, Delphis raised her head and looked at her silently.

The girl saw the firmness and peace in each other's eyes, as well as a kind of concern that she had never experienced since she was a child. After a few seconds, the blond loli responded in a low voice.

"Thank you."

After speaking, Delphis felt that her words might be ambiguous, so she continued.

"I mean, Miss Anno is a very trustworthy person."

She likes to make deals with trustworthy people, that's all.

An Nuo smiled slightly and tilted his head when he heard the words, and the heavy and fullness wrapped in the cloth shook accordingly.

"I also like doing business with Miss Delvis."

Feeling that the atmosphere was almost relaxed, An Nuo said slowly: "By the way, has Miss Delphis been drawing during this time?"

The night before yesterday, An Nuo mentioned that he wanted to see Delphis's painting, and the latter did agree.

After hearing this, Delphis was silent for a while, and quickly realized that she had promised An Nuo, so she nodded slightly.

"Draw one."

"Then can I have a look?"

"...Can."

As soon as the words were finished, Delphis half-closed the door and did not let An Nuo enter the room. She turned around and walked towards the box where the paintings were placed.

Looking at the half-open door in front of him, and the crisp footsteps echoing in his ears, An Nuo stood up straight, the toe of the white lace-up boots was five or six centimeters away from the edge of the door, without crossing at all.

Since Delphis didn't want her to enter the room, she just waited at the door.

Half a minute later, Delphis walked to the door with the canvas, and An Nuo suggested to go to the next room to see it together. The former paused, and agreed after a few seconds.

Delphis really wanted to hear An Nuo's comments on her paintings.

Singing the general spell needed to light the spell and lighting the oil lamp, Anuo sat at the desk and spread out the canvas completely. Delphis looked at the hard bed next to her, but did not choose to sit on it.

The deep old castle, the dilapidated garden, the lonely moon hanging high in the sky quietly sprinkled with silver light, the overgrown weeds intertwined with the rusty fence, the whole picture environment is lonely, revealing death and desolation everywhere.

An Nuo looked at the canvas with smooth lines on the table. The black castle seemed like a huge mouth that could swallow people's souls. Very chill.

In terms of the painting alone, this is a highly completed architectural painting. Whether it is light and shadow or composition, it can show the artist's superb technique. Every bit of ink is used just right, so mature that it doesn't look like it was done by a 14-year-old girl. hand.

An Nuo doesn't know how to appreciate paintings, but people's perception of beauty is innate. Even if this painting is inferior to those famous masterpieces placed in the corridor of her bedroom, it is only slightly inferior.

Delphise has such exquisite painting skills, but the original book does not mention even a word. For this blonde loli, almost all the author's pen and ink in the middle period are used to describe her endless tyranny and finally crazy crusade.

Seeing An Nuo staring at her painting in a daze, she didn't make a sound for a long time, and Delphis didn't speak, just waiting quietly.

Could it be... is she not good at drawing...

For a moment, An Nuo turned his eyes away, and there was a touch of complicated emotion in his eyes.

Unlike Testia, who was able to blaze a bright path amidst the thorns after suffering so much, Delphis was doomed to be a tragedy from birth, and everything about her was darkened by her status as an illegitimate daughter. Even as a villain, it only left readers with a very one-sided image of a tyrant.

She is a real person, and she also has things she likes and things she hopes to do. She may not be able to escape Delphis's own problems, but she will definitely not be able to do without the shaping of the environment.

Just like this painting, an adult would still lose himself after years of being alone in such a depressing and desolate environment that makes people breathless, let alone a child who has never felt the love of others.

Seemingly being scalded by the gentleness in An Nuo's eyes, Delphis gently stroked her nightgown, lowered her head, a little doubt was revealed in her light green eyes.

About this painting...Annuo has nothing to say...

Just when Delphis was thinking, An Nuo whispered: "This painting is great..."

She can even touch the girl's withering heart from the canvas.

Delphis narrowed her beautiful eyes when she heard the words, and didn't say anything to An Nuo immediately. The next second, she heard the woman continue.

"I thought Miss Delphis was a beginner, but I didn't expect her drawing skills to be so superb."

"Do you often practice drawing?"

Anuo's gentle voice fell into her ears, Delphis nodded and responded in a low voice.

"Practice for several years."

It's bearable to be alone for two or three days. If the days are too long and there is nothing to do, she should go crazy.

Before trading painting tools with the maid, Delphis could only use freshly picked roses in the garden every day, squeeze them into dyes of various colors, and then paint on the walls.

In the first few years, there were many different kinds of flowers growing in the garden. As time passed, the flowers gradually withered, and the tenacious weeds took over the entire flowerbed, and she lost those natural pigments.

"A few years...Miss Delphine's paintings are better than most of the painters I've seen..."

After listening to Delphis's speech, An Nuo turned his head and continued to look at the canvas on the table. With such an exquisite sketching technique, if he was not born in the royal family, but was born in some other ordinary aristocratic families who have access to paintings, Delphis would His painting skills may be regarded as a master of painting that will last forever.

But...an art student, after taking power, he became an imperial tyrant who vigorously expanded his armaments and expanded outward...

Why does this setting sound familiar.

With An Nuo's approval, Delphise's expression remained unchanged, but a faint joy filled her heart.

Anuo praised her painting...beautiful...

"Miss Delvis..."

Suddenly thinking of something, An Nuo spoke softly.

"Do you have many paintings like this?"

Hearing this question, Delphis pursed her lips, a little puzzled, but she quickly answered An Nuo's question.

"Well, there are some."

After painting for so many years, a small bedroom certainly cannot fit all her works. Delphis hangs a lot of paintings in the room on the fifth floor. Sometimes when her inspiration runs out, she will sit in the studio where the paintings are stored and look at them. Some previous oil paintings.

An Nuo slowly straightened her cuffs after hearing the words, and the information she had asked Catherine to get before flashed through her mind.

Although Delphis was imprisoned in this long-abandoned castle by Kantor in name, she never skipped three meals a day and daily necessities. For example, the fire attribute crystals used for heating water will be replaced regularly. All kinds of furniture, as long as Delphis takes the initiative to provide them, will soon be replaced by logistics personnel responsible for the living of the royal family members.

Regardless of whether Delphis is favored or not, the blood of the Calliste royal family is flowing in her body, which even Kantor cannot deny.

As a member of the royal family, she should have these most basic daily necessities, but it is limited to this. Apart from these items that can maintain her normal life, Delphis has no right to enjoy all other entertainment facilities.

Books, paintbrushes, dyes, these things are obviously not something that Delphis can get by herself, combined with the fact that the girl asked her to make a deal the day before yesterday, the acquaintance between the words is obviously not the first time this kind of thing has been done.

The only person who can get in touch with Delphis and bring her something is the delivery maid.

After hesitating for a moment, An Nuo said slowly, "I like this painting very much. Is Miss Delphis willing to sell it?"

Considering that Delphis has no other way to spend the money other than going through the maid's channel, and to avoid the latter getting suspicious of the money, Anuo added in a timely manner.

"As long as it is within my ability, I can pay anything equivalent to the corresponding reward."

Delphis was stunned after hearing this, and her dark eyebrows like distant mountains gradually stretched.

Anything equivalent to the corresponding gratuity...

That is to say, she can exchange the painting from An Nuo for the dyes and painting utensils she needs to use next, instead of counting on those gems that are one less.

For Delphis, this is a condition she cannot refuse.

"Annuo...do you really like this painting so much..." Delphis asked in a low voice.

Everything went smoothly, and Delphi's inner vigilance began to sprout.

The appearance of An Nuo has greatly changed her life in the castle, not only allowing her to borrow books that she had never seen before, but even providing a way for her to sell her paintings to obtain raw materials.

The person in front of her... is like an angel in a fairy tale book, who came just for her...

But there are no angels in reality.

Aware of the doubts in Delphis' tone, Anuo stood up solemnly, stuck his fingers to the edge of the canvas, and looked at the pictures on the canvas with great respect.

"I like Miss Delphis' paintings very much, and I want to buy them for collection."

"Is that... weird?"

Although Delphise's paintings are very good, An Nuo has not yet reached the point of insisting on buying desire. The latter's move is to use her attitude to convey some important information to Delphise .

Someone recognizes her painting skills, likes the paintings she creates, thinks it is valuable and is willing to pay a large sum of money for it.

Delphis Felsis is not an isolated island floating in the sea, her existence is meaningful, and she is also needed by others, even if An Nuo is the only one at present.

After hearing An Nuo's words, Delphis clenched her fingers tightly, her delicate fingertips turned abnormally white due to the force.

"It's not surprising..." Delphis replied in a low voice.

"Then...how much price An Nuo wants to buy this painting."

Although Delphis couldn't go out, she knew from the book how much a piece of bread or a bottle of rough ale could sell for.

An Nuo thought for a while after hearing the words, and gave Delvis a fair price.

"How about twenty gold coins?"

Volume 121: Chapter 110 Chapter 4 Chapter [-] Annuo and Old Man Shengguang ([-]k)

In the market, the cheapest paintbrush should not exceed five silver coins, and the money sold for this painting is enough for Delphis to buy nearly four hundred more of these brushes.

"My painting... can it be sold for so much money..." the blond girl asked in a low voice, clutching the corner of her skirt.

Delphis never thought that her paintings could be sold at such a high price. When she first came into contact with painting, her purpose was not to make a living from it, but to let her inner negative emotions have a way to vent. In other words, She chose to use a brush to paint colors more in order to relieve the depression of living alone in the castle.

"Of course, as I said just now, Miss Delphis's paintings are better than most of the painters I have seen."

An Nuo rested his hands on his neck, and lifted a strand of long golden hair that hung down his shoulders. The light lemon fragrance mixed with the scent of orchids in the woman's hair naturally wafted into the surrounding air.

"The value of a work of art largely depends on the buyer's subjective feelings. People who like it think it is worth a thousand dollars, and those who don't like it will throw it away. I think Miss Delphis's work is worth the price, so it is Will propose a transaction and hope to start collecting.”

Twenty gold coins are more than a star and a half cheaper than those famous masterpieces displayed in her palace, that is to say, Delphis is not well-known, and the added value to the painting is not enough, otherwise, based on her current painting level, this painting The value of the painting has to go up a lot.

Of course, if Delphis succeeds to the throne a few years later, and then auction off these paintings in a gimmick, saying that they were painted by the youngest empress in the history of the Callist Empire, the bid would be more than [-]. Gold coins, at least start with emerald coins.

After hearing An Nuo's answer, Delphis bit her lower lip, closed her emerald green eyes gently, and opened them again after a few seconds: "I understand..."

"Just do what Miss Anno wants."

Although Delphis is very precious to her paintings, she is not completely ignorant of flexibility.

Painting is a dead thing, as long as she has these hands that can hold a pen and enough paint, she can paint as much as she wants.

An Nuo smiled sweetly when he heard the words, raised his jade hand lightly, and carefully put away the canvas spread on the desk. Delphis' eyes darkened when she saw this, and her clenched fingers gradually relaxed.

It can be seen that An Nuo really likes her paintings.

"What Miss Delphis needs can be written down on paper and handed over to me. I will have someone purchase it according to the list, and all purchase costs will be deducted from the transaction amount."

When meeting or talking with Delphis, An Nuo is always a mature and gentle big sister image, but as long as it involves transactions, she will put on a business-like attitude. This change in state makes Delphis Elvis relaxed her heart that was always vigilant to keep outsiders from approaching.
