Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

"It turns out that Her Highness Eileen has also dabbled in literature. Not only are the articles well written, but her naming style is also ingenious."

After listening to Claire's words, Elena showed an awkward yet polite smile, and answered softly.

"Just write casually, it's best if you can see the past."

This kind of routine has long been written badly by major authors in the previous life, but it is still novel here, at least the conflict points and expectations that should have been buried, those noble ladies who yearn for love should not be unhappy Buy it.

Claire nodded after hearing this, looked at the parchment in her hand a few more times, and said softly: "His Royal Highness Irene is too modest."

There are not many things that can be seen from the beginning and introduction. Claire doesn't know how well Elena's narrative rhythm and novel framework are doing, but the writing of these thousands of words is not bad.

And the most important thing is that Elena's plot can give people a very strong sense of expectation. Even Claire wants to see how the prince will let go of his stubbornness in the future, look directly at his inner feelings, and treat this prince The noble lady who was completely injured by him was recovered.

She is 35 this year, and in theory, she has already passed the time when her heart sprouts. Even she is so curious about the follow-up plot, not to mention those young girls who are just in their prime and longing for love. How crazy it will be.

Although the novel has not yet been published, Claire is sure that the story is eye-catching enough that it may even become the main motivation for customers to buy books.

I also chatted with Elena about newspapers and periodicals. In addition to soft advertisement placement, the latter also mentioned module expansion, claiming that the content of each book and periodical may be increased according to the needs of readers in the future, so as to attract other potential readers while grasping the basic market. customer.

After listening to the other party's future business plan, Claire took a sip of hot tea and parted her thin lips lightly.

"Working with Her Highness Elena is really worry-free."

The young girl not only had a strong backstage and good conditions, but the novel ideas mentioned between the lines surprised her even more.

Many people may have unconstrained ideas, but most of them can only stay at the level of fantasy, without taking into account the feasibility like Princess Elena, and will not implement it as a future plan.

It's a pity that Elena doesn't seem to like her nephew that much anymore, and Byron himself has a stubborn temper, so it is impossible to accept the family's marriage proposal, otherwise Claire really wants to marry Elena Lena is tied to the Bulstrode family.

As for the battle for the throne between Tadel and Andre, a marriage cannot decide the position of the entire family. Until the situation becomes clear, Byron's father, the current Duke of Borinkle Bulstrode, will always maintain a neutral attitude .

Sensing Claire's somewhat complicated gaze, Elena dug out a piece of Black Forest cake and spoke softly.

"Professor Claire is also a very easy-going person, and it's really comfortable to discuss business with you."

As soon as the words finished, Elena paused, and then added: "The relationship these days has also solved a doubt that has plagued me for a long time."

Claire raised her glasses when she heard the words, and whispered.

"What doubt?"

Seeing this, Eileen smiled, her cherry lips parted slightly.

"I'm curious how the Bulstrode family has come to today step by step, becoming the empire's leading business giant."

"In Professor Claire, I seem to see the answer."

"Whether it is the sensitivity to the market or the ability to accept new things, Professor Claire has done a good job. This spirit of continuous exploration, continuous experimentation, and aggressiveness is the key to a family's ability to maintain a strong vitality."

[-]% of the speech was commercial praise, but [-]% was really what Elena thought in her heart. From perfume to newspapers, Claire accepted it very quickly, unlike some old-fashioned nobles who were interested in all new things. Hold an attitude of contempt and opposition.

Cooperating with such a person, Elena can save a lot of effort and focus on the product itself.

Seemingly unexpected that Elena would say such a thing, Claire stared at the silver-haired princess across the table for a while, and then spoke in a calm tone.

"Thank you, Your Highness Elena, for the compliment, but I'm not as good as you said..."

Looking at Elena's long silver-white hair fluttering in the wind, and her delicate and beautiful facial features being even more beautiful under the shadow of the parasol, for some reason, Claire suddenly had a feeling in her heart.

Perhaps one day in the future, Byron will regret a decision he once made.

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

After saying goodbye to Claire, Elena left the Ferris restaurant, took a carriage back to the palace, and went to meet the person she asked Catherine to find who could paint portraits.

"Miss Elena, the person you are looking for is in the living room right now." Catherine reminded in a low voice.

Walking in the resplendent palace corridor, Eileen walked briskly, her two beautiful black silk legs swayed slightly, and the hard soles of her shoes made a clattering sound when stepping on the tiles.

It is not enough to have words on clothes, one or two pictures are needed as an aid, so that people can understand the so-called fashion and beauty more intuitively.

The picture matching naturally means that Elena needs a royal painter who can draw portraits and clothes. Originally, she wanted Delphis to do this, but considering the latter's relationship with Elena, and her lack of ability to draw For this character, the plan can only be temporarily shelved.

"As expected of Catherine, the action is fast."

It was only a day after Elena handed over the task of finding an artist, and Catherine found a suitable candidate. At the same time, the auction of jewelry was not left behind at all, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

If it weren't for this clean and neat head maid, Elena wouldn't know how much she would have to worry about.

"By the way, what is her background?"

The person Catherine was looking for according to the order, safety is naturally out of the question, and Elena asked this out of curiosity.

"Reporting to Miss Elena, she is one of the maids arranged by Count Carlotta to take care of your daily life. Her name is Mercer Triggle. Her parents were both servants. Fantastic little village...”

Catherine recounted Miss Mercer's background in detail, and Elena thought deeply after listening.

"Maid, her parents were born as servants..."

This information can basically show that Moser has not gone to a special academy of fine arts for further studies. He is a real folk painter, and he is also the wild way that the Callist nobles look down on the most.

"She taught herself to draw?"

"Well, Miss Mercer came to the Imperial Capital to enter the Isabeth School of Magic and Magic for further studies, but unfortunately, she failed the art examination of the Academy of Fine Arts in the end."

"Because the painting skills are not good?"

"That's not true. According to Earl Carlotta, Mercer is good at portraiture, and his painting style is more realistic. However, in recent years, the assessment content of the Academy of Fine Arts has been more inclined to classical architectural paintings."

There is another part of the reason that Catherine didn't say, but Elena can probably guess that what really hindered Mercer's admission was her status as a commoner. If they don’t want to go to the Fine Arts Branch of the Silk Academy of Magic, that will tarnish the “art” they are proud of.

Compared with painting skills, these people value their origins more. Similar ethos can be seen in all aspects of the empire. At the same time, it also proves from the side that it was not easy for Testia to pass the entrance examination as a commoner and obtain the qualification to study magic. How bad is Eileen's exchange of places.

"Wait, Sister Carlotta knows I'm looking for someone to paint a portrait..."

Elena murmured, and Catherine explained in the next second.

"That's right. Earl Carlotta also heard that the lady didn't have a lot of money, so he bought that batch of jewelry at a high price and said that he would keep it for his own collection."

"..."

Once again slightly moved by Carlotta's tenderness and care, Elena fluttered her eyelashes a few times, feeling a little warmth in her heart.

This mature and beautiful countess probably really raised her as a daughter.

Arriving at the waiting room, a maid dressed as a girl with black hair and tea eyes stood by the door and saw Elena coming over and bowed slightly.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Elena."

The girl is about 1.6 meters tall and has a delicate face. Although she doesn't have the super-high looks of Elena and Testia that are clearly described in the book, she feels more comfortable the more she looks at it, and she has a faint sense of intimacy.

"You are Mercer Triggle?"

Facing the members of the maid team, in order to maintain the consistency of her front and back characters, Elena's tone changed a little, and the air of calm and prestige returned to the princess of the empire at this moment.

"Return, report back to Her Royal Highness Elena, it's me."

Ordinary maids usually listen to Catherine's assignments, and usually don't talk directly to Elena. For the first time, Moser was a little nervous when he came into contact with the third princess who seemed not to be messed with.

Testia looked at the bewildered black-haired maid in front of her, and suddenly thought of herself.

When I first met Princess Elena, she seemed to be like the other party, and she couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

Princess Elena isn't actually a bad person...she's just used to treating her maids with this attitude...

She is really gentle.

Unaware that Testia behind her was attacking herself again, Elena looked at Moser and said softly: "I heard that you can draw portraits, let me see your paintings."

"Okay, okay."

Taking out the drawing prepared in advance, Moser nervously handed the drawing paper to Elena.

Those were all works she painted when she was at the Carlotta Manor, and since she had fewer free opportunities, she had no chance to touch the brush again.

After receiving the girl's painting, Eileen briefly glanced over it. Catherine led it to her, and it didn't matter whether she saw it or not. It was just a formality.

As she expected, the portraits drawn by Moser are really good, with smooth lines and clear structures, and the realistic style of painting perfectly fits the needs of newspapers and periodicals.

"Moser, what is your current monthly salary?"

"Reporting to Her Highness Elena, four gold coins plus ten silver coins."

Hearing these words, Testia froze for a moment, then looked up at Elena.

In other words, the money she gets every month is more than twice that of ordinary maids.

Is it because the personal maid... is special...

Or maybe because she's different from others...

Before Testia could think about it, Elena spoke slowly.

"Then do you want to make extra money? Or just quit your job as a maid."

It's a bit of a waste to use such a painting talent as a maid.

"Your Highness Elena...I...don't quite understand what you mean..."

"I'll give you eight gold coins a month, and you only need to draw a few pictures every week, and I will also bear the dyes and paper used."

For Mercer, who was used to working as a maid, it would be great to change to a job that she likes and can make money.

Seeing the obvious emotion in Moser's eyes, Elena told the black-haired maid her request, and said that there is a high probability that she will raise her salary in the future.

"If you agree, give me a sample draft before this week."

Or else... try it out...

Mercer hesitated for a while, and finally agreed to Elena's condition.

"Your Highness Elena, I may need some painting tools..."

Elena nodded upon hearing this, and gave the maid a look.

"Catherine, tell me in advance to buy the painting equipment. In addition, take this Miss Mercer to get a pair of glasses."

She could feel that when Moser looked at her, he was trying hard to focus his eyes. He probably hurt his eyes while learning to draw, and his eyesight was not very good.

When she went to see Delphis tonight, she also had to remind her.

How does Her Highness Elena know that she is short-sighted... Moser muttered to himself, and left the living room behind Catherine.

But that's the money left over to order glasses...

Watching Catherine leave with Moser, Elena turned her head to look at Testia. The girl was standing obediently, her sky blue eyes were clear and bright, and her two beautiful white silk legs that were as white as cream stood straight.

"Testia, come to the bedroom with me." Elena said softly.

"Okay, Your Highness Elena."

Without the slightest hesitation, Testia took the order and accompanied Elena to the princess' boudoir.

As soon as she entered the room and walked to the bed, Elena asked Testia a question that seemed to be commonplace in her mind.

"Do you mind undressing in front of me?"

Testia froze for a moment, her pupils suddenly trembled.

"Ugh!?"

Qunyiliu⑧②一77①⑥

Volume 136: Chapter 120, Chapter 4, Chapter [-] Was Bullied by Princess Elena Again ([-]K)

Did this kind of words really come from Her Royal Highness Elena, or did she hear it wrong?

The air fell into a short stagnation, and Testia swallowed the incense, her delicate body trembled slightly, and the slender white jade fingers attached to her lower abdomen were gently twisted together.

"Your Highness Elena, what did you just say... I don't seem to hear clearly..."

Isn't it a little strange why she suddenly asked her to take off her clothes.

"Miss Testia, do you mind taking off your clothes in front of me?"

Eileen repeated it again, her eyes as bright as red agate quietly stared at Testia.

Of course, she didn't ask this question to tease Testia, or to do weird things to her personal maid like some other Callist nobles who have nowhere to vent their energy.

Elena did this only to verify some details about the use of the one-way illusion potion, to ensure that she would not inadvertently lose her horse in front of the four princesses.

According to Delphis, there will be many more intimate contacts like last night. As the older sister in the other party's mouth, Elena doesn't want to find various reasons to shirk.

She has never received any love from her father or mother since she was a child. This blond loli has a very sensitive personality, and any act of refusing to get close to her may hurt her barren and fragile heart.

"I...that...His Royal Highness Elena..."
