Secretary of the Devil's Castle

Seeing Fatalia's flustered look, Ender couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, Fatalia, I'm not that impulsive yet, this is my empire, for my wish, I will be cautious again Be cautious—let’s not talk about this, Fatalia, you have often been to different parties recently, how do you feel?”

Fatalia breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a complaining tone: "It's boring, very boring, everyone's expressions are fake, and when chatting with them, always pay attention to what you say and what the other person says. What you reveal, you must always remind yourself not to reveal too much, and you must always pay attention to the sights and conversations of the people around you. It is not like a casual gathering at all, but like going to a battlefield—but fortunately, father, you are the leader of this country. I am the princess of this empire, and no one has dared to come forward to provoke me."

"Really? Although the original intention is to let you adapt to the way of communication between nobles, since you don't like this kind of occasion, then feel free. Fatalia, if you don't want to be invited in the future, then Don't force yourself, anyway, the aristocratic system will be banned one day, and that moment will not be very far away."

"It doesn't matter, just take it slowly, how is the progress, the progress of the law reform?"

"Well... the initial version was promoted very smoothly in Demon King City and nearby areas, and the resistance encountered in other areas was much smaller than the implementation of the original imperial law, but it was still difficult to implement. In this regard, probably It will not be until the implementation of new farming methods and factories, as well as changes in the commercial order, that the barriers will be completely broken."

"Is that so... so the farming method has been perfected?"

"Not yet, but the farmers I found have already started sorting out the relevant knowledge, and I think they will soon be able to sort out a tutorial that can be generalized. There are also factories. You should know it better in the Demon King City. There are already three experimenters. The sex factory is under construction, and it will probably be put into use in less than a month, and then the nobles should also pay attention to this new thing, try to get a share of it-even the nobles who are loyal to me They will not refuse this benefit, and it can just divert their attention and carry out follow-up work."

"Is this... generally going smoothly?"

"It's generally going on smoothly."

"So... what are you going to do when you come back this time?"

"I'm back this time... huh? As the devil king of the Cairns Empire, when did I even need a reason to go home?"

"Tch, is it watertight? You are worthy of being the father."

Fatalia clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, folded her hands on her chest, and crossed her legs hidden under the table. Seeing this, Ender stepped forward helplessly and rubbed Fatalia's head, "Okay, There are some things you don’t need to know in such detail, I will tell you when the time is right.”

"The timing is right, and when is it? In my impression, this is often an adult who prevaricates a child because he doesn't know how to answer. It can't be taken seriously—so what are you hiding?"

.[[#+

Fatalia said reluctantly, Ender thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand and flicked Fatalia's forehead, "Then I'll just say it straight, I won't tell you now, wait I will explain everything to you when you have enough conditions."

"No!"

Fatalia covered her slightly red forehead in pain, and grinned at Ender.

After getting along for a period of time, although Fatalia still has that relatively indifferent temperament, she can still show some emotions in front of the people around her, and her expression is much more vivid than when she first came to the Demon King City.

Ende touched his chin and nodded, then turned around and walked outside the study, "Okay, let's go, it's time for dinner soon, you shouldn't miss dinner, right?"

Fatalia sighed helplessly, and jumped off the chair, "Yes, that's right, eating is the biggest thing in the world, and food is the most important thing for the people."

"...It's such incomprehensible words again."

"It's better than my father likes to be a riddle."

"Ah, it's something I don't understand again."

……

As Fatalia became more and more accustomed to her status as a princess of the empire, her relationship with the people around her became better and better. Those maids also changed from completing tasks at the beginning to sincerely serving the little princesses of the Cairns Empire around them. But at the same time, some abnormalities in Fatalia's personality were also noticed by the maids.

"Too much indifference to oneself and the things around you...?"

Ender propped his chin and watched Fatalia quickly finish the dinner. The delicious food on the table disappeared into Fatalia's mouth very quickly, but surprisingly, her actions did not appear flustered at all. Still very elegant, "Well, it's really hard to see, you should pay more attention in the future."

Looking at Fatalia's figure, Ender suddenly remembered something, "After Tiffany left, can I still keep up with my magic studies?"

That's right, Tiffany was transferred out a month ago due to lack of manpower. In fact, Hogan left earlier, but it was because he needed to compile the teaching materials needed by Xinghai Academy, and Tiffany is going to deal with the war on the frontier.

Fatalia swallowed the vegetable salad in her mouth, and then replied: "No problem, Teacher Tiffany has left me the magic book that I need to use next, I can't teach myself faster than Teacher Tiffany How much slower is the speed of teaching here, and if there is really something that you can’t do, you can still go to the Academy, anyway, it’s not far from the Demon King’s City.”

"That's it...that's fine."

Ender nodded, then opened his mouth, put a whole piece of steak into his mouth and swallowed it directly, "So, about the work of the clerk, are you proficient?"

"This is..."

Fatalia paused before saying: "I'm still a little powerless, this job is much more difficult than I imagined, if only the Demon King City has such a workload, then the entire Cairns Empire will need more work in the future." The number of documents I dealt with is simply an astronomical number, so it is still necessary to pull down the group of old nobles who do nothing but eat and replace them with new officials who can handle them as soon as possible-wasting is a great shame .”

Hearing the resentment mixed with Fatalia's words, Ender was slightly dumb, and he was silent for a while before saying: "Take it as...the initial training, after this kind of hectic time, I think you will officially become the secretary in the future It will be much more handy when you are an official."

Click!

Fatalia bit a piece of pancake into pieces, "Although this is the truth, if possible, this kind of training should be less, after all, there are many tasks that should not be in the area that I should be responsible for. Oh, yes, father Wang, Viscount Sharp in the east, do you have any impression?"

"Sharp?"

Ende was slightly taken aback, thought for a moment and replied: "I only remember that he is one of the second generation of border nobles, and the noble who canonized him has fallen, so I don't know the rest. What's wrong? Is there any problem? "

"It's nothing."

Fatalia put a small tomato into her mouth with a fork, and then said with the fork in her mouth, "It's just a little bit of interest in his daughter, that Patty Sharp."

"Patty Sharp? Daughter? Interested?"

Ender was stunned again, a lot of words such as succubus' habits, sexual orientation, menstrual period, maturity period, succubus's mature way appeared in his mind in an instant, and then he said in a slightly serious tone: "Then I probably need to investigate her more carefully."

Fatalia immediately understood that Ender's thoughts had gone astray, and then the corners of her eyes twitched and she said, "Wait a minute, Father, I just think there might be friendship between us."

"It's okay, Fatalia, I understand."

"...Father, you don't understand at all."

(Playing with ai painting is a little bit over the top, cough cough)

(The update of this chapter is a little bit late, and it is probably a little rushed, and it will not be tomorrow)

Chapter 56 The last chapter didn't have a chapter name? !

"Yawn~ Well, what time is it, Favna."

"Return to master, seven o'clock in the morning."

"Really...then what time did you wake up and wait here with me?"

"One hour ago, master."

"I knew you would say that."

Half-closed her eyes, Fatalia complained silently, no matter what time she wakes up, she can always see Favna standing in the corner of the room with closed eyes waiting, so she will not believe what Favna said It was a nonsense one hour ago, but Favna is also a sixth-level dragon, so rest should be enough.

And Favna also stepped forward to help Fatalia tidy her messy hair after a night's sleep, and then helped her change into a casual dress, while Fatalia closed her eyes and let Favna fiddle with her until Favna led her to wash her face before she fully woke up.

Fatalia rubbed her eyes, put on her glasses, then frowned slightly and played with her hair, "Is it a little too long? It always feels like a waste of time to tidy up."

Favna took the comb and gently combed the hair that was just messed up by Fatalia again, and then said softly: "The master can keep whatever hair he likes, and let me handle the rest. "

"Thank you, Favna."

Fatalia leaned back and leaned her head on Favna's body, "It's really helpful to have you here."

"...my honor, my duty, my master."

Favna was silent for a while, and gently hugged Fatalia in her arms. Fatalia raised her eyebrows in surprise, but before she could say anything, Favna let go Fatalia, and then continued to gently dress her up.

After all of Favna's work was over, Fatalia stretched her waist, and then came to the dining room. As expected, a big table was filled with food, and Ender, who came back yesterday, was now sitting at the main seat .

"Father? Are you still still there?"

Fatalia was a little surprised, then walked to the side and pulled out a chair and sat down, while Ender felt a little bit dumbfounded, "I just came back last night, so you're surprised that I didn't leave in the morning? "

Very naturally, she took a piece of bread, spread butter on it, and put it into her mouth along with the steak, before Fatalia said: "Because you have been busy recently, Father? It's hard to imagine that you will be here Spend the night in the Demon King's City, besides, the new law has just been implemented, isn't it the time you should be so busy that you don't touch the ground?"

"It's true to say so, but you don't know that I have important things to do when I return to the Demon King City, and it is obvious that I haven't finished it yet."

Ender cut a piece of pancake with a knife and stuffed it into his mouth, but his speech was completely unaffected, "Don't worry about me, let's talk about Fatalia, what is your plan for today?"

"To receive the mission of the Reinhardt Empire, the first prince is going back."

Fatalia didn't have Ender's ability to talk while eating without being affected. She could only swallow the food in her mouth and answer Ender's words, "Don't you even know this kind of thing?"

"Ah, this..."

Ende scratched his neck in embarrassment, "No way, after all, I have been focusing on various domestic affairs recently, and I really don't care much about diplomacy. After all, the human beings who have established diplomatic relations with us The country is only the Reinhardt Empire, and the other demon empires want us to die. And Fatalia, you can handle it well, too? It can be completely handed over to you."

"Fine--"

Fatalia made a long voice, "Then I will take full power to deal with it. Anyway, with the habit of my father, it may be difficult to get along with other countries in peace. I'd better talk to them about business. It just so happens that Prince Libby If you want to go back to the country, it would be good to connect with the king of Reinhardt through him. The empire is still short of food, and the special minerals from Demon Island happen to be urgently needed by the Reinhardt empire."

"Really? I really don't know anything about it."

"That can't be helped, but diplomacy is very important to a country. Father, you should pay more attention to it in the future. Befriending neighboring countries can avoid a lot of trouble."

"Well... Then I will leave it to you, Fatalia, and you will be fully responsible for all the foreign affairs of the empire after you become the clerk in the future."

"What are you talking about? Build the Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly, or I will scold you even if you are my father... Forget it, I have finished eating, father, you can enjoy it slowly, and I have to go to Lai The envoys of the Inhardt Empire, I will take my leave first."

Fatalia wiped her mouth gracefully, then left from the table, took Favna out, and Ender didn't react, "Uh, oh, okay, then you go, I'll eat slowly, Eat slowly...Wait, where's my meal?"

Ender looked at a large pile of empty plates on the table, his eyes flickered violently. During the time he left the Demon King City, Fatalia learned to eat at a super high speed that ordinary people would never learn to eat in order to save time for eating. method, and now Ender is very lucky to be the first victim of this method.

Probably not so lucky.

"This child..."

Ender was a little dumb, then shook his head and snapped his fingers, signaling the maid to bring more dishes.

Although he didn't need to eat these ordinary foods to replenish energy, he had formed a habit of eating with Fatalia in the past year, and he had no idea to get rid of this not bad habit.

On the other side, Fatalia got into the carriage and was ready to go to the station of the Reinhardt Empire envoy.

Different from ordinary human countries, the Demon King City of the Cairns Empire should be regarded as a royal palace in terms of positioning, but its functions are not exactly the same as those of the Human Empire. Although there are usually some documents sent to the Demon King City for Fatalia to handle, but this has only recently started.

There is no precedent in the Cairns Empire for receiving envoys like the Human Empire - after all, Ender has no plans to receive any ministers, he has always been used to running directly to say it face to face.

The carriage moved quickly along the roads in the city, splashing a lot of dust along the way. Fortunately, it was in a sparsely populated aristocratic area, and there were no pedestrians on both sides of the road, so the high-speed carriage did not cause any trouble to others, and Fatalia It also arrived at the edge of the aristocratic area at an extremely fast speed, and the envoys of the Reinhardt Empire were here.

Because it is close to the junction of the aristocratic area and the civilian area, there are more pedestrians. Tan En, who is driving the carriage, also starts to speed up. Fatalia is also interested in raising the curtain of the carriage at this time. , observing the scene outside the window.

Perhaps because it was daytime, under the illumination of the lighting rune, the street was as bright as day, but there were not many pedestrians, presumably because most people went to work separately.

However, the hawkers hawking along the street, the various shops they opened, and the never-ending idlers made the street much more lively.

Fatalia looked at it, and asked in a daze: "Favna, when is the academy closed?"

Favna replied, "It's less than a month, what's wrong? Master?"

Fatalia put down the curtain, sat back on the seat and finished, "No, it's nothing, it's just a feeling, and I want to take a vacation once in a while."

Feeling the bumps of the carriage, Fatalia suddenly looked forward to when that little Patty would contact her again.

The carriage finally stopped in front of a building that looked twice as large as other nearby residential buildings.

In front of me is a white house that is incompatible with the dark tone of the surrounding area. It is somewhat similar to French classicism architecture, but it is much rougher than that. It seems to have three floors. There are two pillars standing next to the gate facing the street. There is also a golden lion relief above the gate, which is the national emblem of the Reinhardt Empire, and it announces to everyone where the people living here come from.

"Oh, no matter how you look at it, it feels very atmospheric."

After getting off the carriage, Fatalia looked up at this uniquely beautiful building and sighed a little, but at this moment, a bold voice came from the side, "Of course, this is our Rhine The style of the Hart Empire, no matter where they are, the people of our empire will remember to carry out the heroic spirit of the lion."

Fatalia followed the prestige and saw Libit Reinhardt coming out of the gate. The first prince of the Reinhardt Empire didn't seem to have changed much from a year ago, but he looked more powerful He has become much stronger, and it is easy to see that there are solid muscles under the tight dress. Obviously, the first prince did not neglect to exercise when he was in the envoy. He is by no means a fancy dress.

Fatalia raised her skirt towards Libit, and said calmly: "I heard that Prince Libit is going back to China?"

"Yes, Your Highness Fatalia, good morning, your visit is as if the sun has come to this land that has not seen the sun for a long time."

Libitt also returned a gentleman's salute, and said with a smile: "If Her Royal Highness Fatalia likes the architectural style of our country, then I think one day you may give me a chance to invite you to visit my country, Presumably my son will also be very honored by this, oh, yes, he happens to be the same age as the princess."

"If there is a chance."

Fatalia didn't care about Lipbit's polite words, but soon she frowned and noticed something wrong with Lipbit's words, "Wait a minute, son? You have a son?"

"Ah, don't you know? I do have a son, and he is already ten years old, just like Her Majesty the Princess."

Only then did Libiter show a somewhat embarrassed expression. He scratched his head, his expression was a little embarrassed, but his eyes were full of happiness, "Speaking of which, I have been abroad for three years. I don't know how old the child will be in these three years How old is he, he is just a little one in my memory."

"Well."

Fatalia stared into Libit's eyes. She was very familiar with this kind of eyes. They were the eyes that only a loving father would show. In her previous life, she often saw similar scenes.

Sighing softly, Fatalia threw away the distracting thoughts in her heart, and said to Libitt after regaining her composure: "Then, Your Highness Libitt, after you return to China, you should spend some time with your son, after all he has left too. My father has been three years, if you want to be a good father, you can't leave him for too long when your child is a child."

"Oh, what did you say, Your Highness Fatalia, as if you have taken care of a child?"

Libito looked even more embarrassed, Fatalia spread her hands and replied, "Because I'm a child."

Libby: ...

The awkward silence lasted for a while, Libby replied with a smile again: "Well, Your Highness Fatalia, your rationality and intellectuality, as well as your mature acting style can always make others forget your actual situation. Age, please come in, it doesn’t make sense to stand outside all the time.”

"Okay, Prince Lippit."

Fatalia took Favna into the room with Prince Lippit, while the carriage was taken away by a special person, and another guard came to greet Tan En. The big man who was taciturn and taller than others was also very familiar, so he didn't talk too much, so he took him directly to the waiting room dedicated to the guards.
