Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

It is undeniable that Delphis has indeed regarded An Nuo as a closer existence than ordinary people, but she is not sure whether this relationship can be called a friend.

An Nuo has many friends, and she can contact many more people than herself. Thinking of this, Delphi's heart sank gradually.

If they were really friends, she still couldn't feel any joy.

For An Nuo, Delphise is just a passer-by in her life, a poor creature locked in an old castle, and one of the many people she can call "friends".

And Delphis was the only one, and even she could only meet each other in those few short hours after nightfall.

She doesn't like the feeling...not at all...

Delphis greedily hoped that Annuo could stay in the castle all day, just like Rhine, and be her only company.

If only she could be imprisoned...to be my own forever...

As soon as this idea came to her mind, the blond girl stood up instantly, stepping on the soft blanket with her slender feet, and a strong chill ran from the soles of her feet all the way to the top of her head.

What is she thinking?

The sudden movement woke up Rhine, and the orange cat looked at Delphis curiously, wagging its tail, came out of the cat nest, and crawled to the girl's legs.

Feeling the warm touch from her calf, the coldness in Delphis' eyes gradually dissipated. She looked at the orange cat dawdling beside her leg to please her, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go to sleep, I'm fine."

Bending down and stroking the furry back of the orange cat, Rhine seemed to understand Delphis' words, turned around twice, then returned to the old box, picked up two little white paws and continued to sleep.

Looking at the broken wooden box under the Rhine, and the old clothes that were used to keep warm, Delphis realized that she seemed to have forgotten to write something that Rhine needed on the list today, and a bit of self-blame flashed in the depths of her green eyes.

Ask An Nuo tomorrow, it's too late today, it's not good to disturb the other party's rest.

Thinking of this, Delphis sat on the bed, leaning her tender body against the pillow, took out a book from the bedside table, spread it out, and continued reading where she hadn't finished before.

The wall clock on the wall creaked and creaked, but the sound was not as annoying as last night. At [-]:[-] in the morning, the night was still very long, and there was still some time before dawn, enough for Delphis to read the entire book.

At the same time, Elena, who was only separated from Delphis by a wall, took out the potion from her bag. After confirming that the other party was not there, she took off the cork and drank it. There was a little displeasure on his cheeks.

No matter how many times she drank it, she couldn't get used to the weird taste.

.............

"Catherine, I need you to do something..."

Returning to the dormitory after lunch, Elena called the head maid, and handed over the note Delphis wrote last night to Catherine.

"Purchase according to this list. Don't let others know. Be sure to buy all before the sun goes down today. I will use it tonight."

Catherine took the list, read it carefully from beginning to end, and nodded in response.

"Understood, Miss Elena."

The woman was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly she heard Elena asking again.

"Catherine, am I spending too much money recently?"

Every once in a while, Kantor would give Elena a pocket money for her discretion. For convenience, the latter had always handed over the money to Catherine for safekeeping, and asked the other party to pay for it when she used it. Don't care about the specific share.

Considering that she just gave a severance pay last month, and bought mid-level potions from Claire this month as if she didn't spend any money, Elena suspected that her small coffers might not be able to support the bill.

"Reporting to Miss Elena, compared to before, your expenses are indeed a bit higher."

Catherine put away the list, held the tray with both hands, and responded in a flat tone.

In the past, Princess Elena spent money like water, and most of her pocket money was spent on luxury items such as clothing and jewelry. Although she seems to have lost interest in these things now, she has another expense that burns more money. It is the purchase of potions.

If we only talk about the unit price, the price of a bottle of mid-level potion may not be comparable to the string of jewels that Princess Elena valued, but judging by the difference in the purchase quantity, the former is far more than the latter, and the accumulation of a small amount is a fortune. No small expense.

If things continue at this speed, the pocket money Kanto gives may not be enough for Elena to spend a month, and the imperial princess may have to ask for some pocket money to meet her daily needs.

"Potions really cost money..."

Elena sighed lightly, her brows were tightly furrowed.

In the novel, part of the reason why Princess Elena was dragged into trouble by Prince Taddell was that she spent too much money and didn’t want to ask Kantor for money again and again, so she listened to Taddell’s nonsense. The idea of ​​making quick money has borne a lot of scapegoat for him.

Now that she has decided to draw a clear line with Tadel, Elena will of course not consider those trading channels that will get her hands dirty. If she really wants to make money, she has to rely on the Bulstrode family, although they may not be clean, But at least I won't do these things that are not worth the candle.

First look at the market reaction of the first perfume. Elena believes that this transaction will not lose money. She is very confident in her own level and the marketing methods of the Bulstrode family. The only difference is that she earns more and earns less. .

With a lot of money, Claire will naturally come to seek cooperation in person, and Elena is not worried that the former will abandon her to do it alone. First, she is the only one who can produce high-quality perfumes, and second, she and Canto, Ka Lotta and even Tadel, a good brother in the eyes of people who don't know the truth, have a good relationship. Claire is very shrewd, it is impossible not to see this clearly.

Byron can offend the most favored princess of the empire for major events in life, but Claire will not damage the relationship between the family and the royal family, or her girlfriend relationship with Carlotta for a little immediate benefit.

"How much money do you have?" Elena asked Catherine softly.

"Replying to Miss Elena, your pocket money for this month was used up last month when you paid the final payment for jewelry and potions, and you have been using my salary recently." Catherine answered truthfully.

After learning the truth, Elena froze for a moment, with a rare surprise on her cheeks, and even Testia, who was obediently standing upright, looked at the silver-haired princess in shock.

It turns out that even if it is as honorable as Her Highness Irene, there will be a day when all the money will be spent...

But even so, Princess Elena still tried her best to give those maids who lost their jobs and had no fixed source of income an extremely generous severance package.

She is really gentle.

Unlike Testia, who thought a lot, Elena calmed down after a short mood swing, and she was a little helpless. She almost forgot that the original owner was a person who liked to consume ahead of time. owed a lot of foreign debt.

"I've wronged you, Catherine. I'll give you back the money when I get the dividend next month."

"Miss Elena, I actually don't need that much..."

"Whether you need it or not is two different things."

Elena interrupted Catherine's speech, her flat voice carried a touch of arrogance and dignity that belonged exclusively to the royal family.

"It costs my own maid's money to buy things. Wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders to hear about it?"

The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. Before Catherine cared about something, Testia found some other meanings from Elena's words.

Princess Elena just said... let outsiders listen to the joke...

Does this mean that she is not an outsider, and she can be listened to. She is an "insider" that Princess Elena doesn't have to avoid.

Realizing this, Testia fluttered her eyelashes a few times, and for some reason, she suddenly felt warm in her heart.

If you think about it...Princess Elena may have regarded her as a good friend...

Seeing the stupid maid standing there in a daze, Elena coughed lightly to bring back Testia's mind.

"Miss Testia, haven't we practiced for a long time?"

"Ugh?!"

Volume 123: Chapter 110 Chapter 4 Chapter [-] The Stupid Maid Gradually Becomes Free ([-]k)

An hour later, in the palace garden, Testia pressed the wooden sword against the floor tiles, looked down at the white silk of the sling that became loose on her legs because of the violent action, the buttons were broken, and her breathing was a little short of breath.

After a few days, in the duel with Elena, Testia lost again due to a parry error.

Seeing Testia supporting her body with the sword, barely blocking the magic attack just now, the silver-haired girl raised the wooden sword casually, opened her mouth lightly, and blew away the icy frost adhering to the sword.

"His Royal Highness Elena...I lost again..."

Testia bent down, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, and the white stocking tube that had slipped down with the other, her voice soft and apologetic.

Elena nodded slightly when she heard the words, sorted out the remaining mental power after the battle, and spoke in a low voice.

"You have practiced well recently. Although you lost, you can clearly feel that you have improved."

After getting along for a long time, Testia has actually fully mastered Elena's offensive style. Perhaps it is limited by the lack of mental power reserves or the use of high-consuming magic. The spells that Elena sings in each battle are basically There will not be more than fifteen. In other words, the opponent's magic strength is sufficient, but the durability is poor.

If facing such an opponent in actual combat, Testia will deliberately slow down the fighting rhythm, focus on preserving strength and carry out small-scale tentative attacks until the woman's mental power is exhausted, and then attack with almost zero risk. hit the enemy.

Of course, sparring is not actual combat, there is not so much time for her to understand the enemy, and Testia's goal is only to become stronger, not to defeat the opponent. Under these conditions, the girl will naturally abandon the kind that drags down Elena's mental strength. The way to win, instead of head-to-head with the opponent, the outcome is also obvious.

Although Testia is still unable to compete against the fully prepared Elena, but the former has strong physical fitness and abundant mental power reserves, and is far better than this silver-haired glass cannon in dealing with most situations. The princess came easily.

As a maid, Testia also wanted to show a little more persistence in front of Elena.

"By the way, Testia, haven't you done a test about the affinity of elements?"

The entrance examination for Isabeth School of Magic only requires meditation, and the step of measuring the affinity of elements will not be carried out until the students enter the junior apprenticeship. Since this plot is too early in the novel, Elena has already forgotten Did Testia take relevant tests before entering the academy?

Testia blinked a few times when she heard the words, and whispered: "I haven't yet..."

If it weren't for the college to organize student tests, if you want to measure the affinity of elements, you need to go to a special magician's association and spend a lot of money. There is no magician's association in the small town of Testia's hometown. At that time, she also If you haven't become a junior apprentice yet, you naturally don't have this opportunity.

Elena nodded thoughtfully when she heard the words, but didn't say much.

Testia didn't know it herself, but she remembered clearly that the heroine of Destiny had a [-]% affinity for the light attribute, so much so that it exceeded the maximum limit of the crystal ball used for testing, and the testers once misunderstood it as This girl can't resonate with the light element, and the beads don't even have light.

The high affinity for the innate nature of the light attribute is also an important reason why Testia can control the holy and flawless sword of light.

But in the final analysis, the amount of elemental affinity is not particularly obvious in the early stage. At most, one or two more magics of the same family as the high-affinity particles can be added, and it won't change much.

In the later stages, especially at the magister level, the advantages of high elemental affinity will gradually be revealed, and become more obvious as the level increases.

There is no need to tell Testia to learn more light spells first. When the time comes, she will naturally know where her talent lies and become a true Holy Light Knight.

"Have you brought your library card?"

Hearing Elena's question, Testia shook her head: "No."

"I'm going to the library. If you want to return a book or borrow a new one, you can go back to get the card first, so you don't have to go back later."

"Okay, Your Highness Elena."

With Elena's permission, Testia quickly went upstairs, took out the library card from the drawer, and packed the books she had read in her arms.

Before leaving, she suddenly thought of the sock buckle that she accidentally broke just now. Testia bit her lower lip lightly in front of the mirror, thinking that she had enough time, she sat by the bed and took off her maid shoes, and changed into a pair of Clean and smooth creamy white pantyhose.

Back downstairs, I saw Elena holding a parasol alone, standing pretty in the sun, her white and alluring collarbone was not covered by the black skirt material, she looked slender and delicate, the skirt was raised slightly, revealing her two legs. Slender and well-proportioned snow legs.

Feeling that Elena's gaze stayed on her lower body for a while, Testia's ears were slightly hot, and then she fiddled with her pink hair a few times to cover her ears, and her mind began to think wildly again.

Your Highness Elena is so kind...Knowing that she doesn't have much time to go to the library, reminding her to bring her card...

The torn socks have been waiting for her to change them, without showing any impatience.

Elena, who didn't know that Testia's self-raiding speed was so fast, just glanced at her expressionlessly, then turned around and walked towards the library.

After borrowing the books, Elena asked Testia to put these things back in the bedroom, and left the rest of the time to her free activities. Without the unstable factor of Tadel, Elena could also let Tessia rest assured Tia walked around the palace alone.

As for Elena herself, she went to the nearby alchemy workshop. Since she had meditated for a period of time in the relatively quiet environment of the library, her already shallow spiritual power had almost recovered, and it would not affect her. Make perfume.

From 05:30 in the afternoon to [-]:[-] in the evening, Elena tried several perfumes with unique fragrances in her memory, but she was not satisfied with the actual blends, and she got nothing out of it for a long time.

It's not that her skills have regressed, but that there are many kinds of potion ingredients in this world that didn't exist before. Elena hopes that she can make localized improvements on this basis, and make the most suitable medicine according to the customs and customs of the Callist Empire. Buy the perfume that the crowd needs, rather than blindly copying it.

If you think about it carefully, you don’t need to be too anxious. Let’s see how Claire’s trial sale of the first batch of perfume is, and then talk to her about how to proceed with the next transaction and where the next batch will be sold.

After dinner, Catherine, who was shopping outside, finally returned to the palace. In addition to the painting utensils mentioned on the list, Elena also asked her to buy some other things, such as a medium-sized cauldron, and A few deep dishes for soup, and some miscellaneous spices.

It is not difficult to guess that Elena wanted these things for cooking, but there are all the corresponding equipment in the kitchen, and there is no need to buy additional ones. The other party obviously did this to avoid people's eyes and ears. Catherine quickly thought of someone , the fourth princess Delphis who lived in the castle, and Elena's words quickly confirmed her guess.

"Catherine, Testia, help me wash and cut those vegetables."

Elena looked at the onion, ginger, garlic and mushrooms in the pot. Considering that she didn't know if Delphis tasted salty, she hesitated for a while and didn't add chili and peppercorns. She just added a few spoonfuls of salt.

Smelling the extremely rich aroma in the air, even Catherine, who had just eaten outside, had to admit that the combination of these things really whetted the appetite.

Princess Elena spent a lot of time to get these, probably for His Majesty's illegitimate daughter Delphis.

So it seems that progress is not bad there.

While slicing the potatoes, Testia smelled the thick soup in the pot, and her white and delicate swan neck slid gently.

nice smell...

Testia originally thought that Elena didn't have enough for dinner and came to the kitchen to prepare her own extra meal. As a result, after the ingredients were prepared, Elena found a piece of ice attribute crystal and froze everything. Pack it up and let them pack it up and take it away.

Back in Her Royal Highness's private bedroom, Elena left Catherine alone in the room and explained what she needed to do tonight.

"Catherine, I can't bring these things in alone. I need you to go with me today."

"Just to be on the safe side, if you don't meet with Delphis, just bring the things in. I'll bring the rest into the castle myself."

Catherine is a martial artist at the executive level, and she is especially good at concealing her own aura. It was because of this consideration that Elena sent her to infiltrate Lena's residence. Even without the infiltrator's robe, a woman can still pass through the dark system. Magic covers its tracks.

"Okay, Miss Elena."

After receiving Elena's order, Catherine bowed respectfully, and then walked aside to sort out the things she needed to bring for the night.

Looking at the black-haired maid bent over and busy, Elena sighed softly, and suddenly thought of the space rings that the authors often wrote about in the online novels of the previous life, which can store things.
