After delivering an incoherent speech, the 17-year-old second princess fled the room as if fleeing.

Seeing the girl running away, Griffin's relaxed face just now fell silent.She is not stupid, and the uncharacteristic behavior of the second princess naturally aroused her vigilance.The previous Gu Youyou said that his behavior was nothing more than the appearance of the other party's repeated attitude.

Based on my many years of experience watching female and female stickers... Could this woman be fascinated by me?

Do I have such a great charm?

Looking at the reflection in the bathtub, Griffin cupped his face and made a grimace.

While Griffin is deeply narcissistic about how he looks, it's a sense of self.These two princesses grew up in the royal family since they were young, and they have never seen any beautiful things. After all, they wouldn't fall in love at first sight, right?

Then Griffin wondered, how should he react if she did have this tendency?

This must be a test for my wife and me on the road of love by some wicked god!I must keep my faith unwavering.

My mind is very small, I already have Zeppelin, how can I accommodate other people?Whether it is facing the temptation of other ship spirits or human beings, you still have to be more dedicated.

Thinking of this, she was full of determination.Taking off the bath towel, the girl slowly sank into the water.The warm water wrapped her body, as if being in a mother's arms was reassuring.Soon she forgot about this trouble, and even dozed off underwater.

Margaret hurriedly left the room, but she regretted it the moment she closed the door.

Why didn't I promise her just now?In this way, not only can you appreciate this perfect creation in the world up close, but you can also touch her with your own hands and feel her... Why should I refuse! ?

But things had come to this, and as a princess, it was naturally impossible for her to return to the house, but the scene just now kept reappearing in her mind on the way back, so that her pace was much slower than usual.The farther away she was, the more obvious those thoughts became, but in the end Margaret returned to the bedroom with firm perseverance.

However, after washing, she lay on the soft bed, but her mind was still full of the girl sitting on her back and sitting beside the pure white bathtub washing water.

This scene made her toss and turn, unable to sleep all night.

In fact, when they first met, Margaret was attracted by the girl named Griffin.But she is very clear that it is not love, but pure appreciation and liking, a kind of fascination for aesthetics that only exists when discovering rare things.

She is a girl who loves beauty, but her pursuit and yearning for beauty is a little different from normal people.Others may stop at the point, but Margaret is not like this. She is more likely to fall into a deep state of consciousness.

In layman's terms, it's like being obsessed with a demon.

The girl's appearance fit all the definitions of beauty in her heart.After seeing her again, some vague concepts of beauty suddenly became clear.After watching the first glance, I couldn't help but want to take a second look, a third look... and fell deeper and deeper under the trend of temptation again and again.

In the end, my thoughts gradually became confused, and I don't know if it was because I couldn't think of the answer for a long time, or because my brain was dull due to staying up late.All she could think about at the moment was—to have another look at her.

immediately.

But... this can't work, it's wrong.But... I really want to see her again.

In the morning, Margaret's uncharacteristically listless appearance attracted Elizabeth's attention.It seems that my sister has been like this since the dinner last night, but it seems to be more serious today?

"What's wrong with you, Maggie?" She asked with concern while the servants were serving breakfast.

Margaret, who was in deep thought, took a while to react, and she shook her head. "Hmmm? Sister, I'm fine."

This performance made Elizabeth even more concerned.

It wasn't like this until the afternoon, so what happened?

She even thought, is it because this younger sister has a crush on someone, or is she looking so out of her mind?But among the visiting American delegation this time, no man was found to be so attractive?

Elizabeth finally decided not to tell her father, and she tried to deal with it herself first.

"Sister, do you have any plans for today?" Margaret asked suddenly.

"It's nothing, just a supplementary explanation of the detailed rules and regulations that were exchanged yesterday." Elizabeth said. "But that's not something we should be concerned about. The ministers will take care of it."

They attended the meeting yesterday out of diplomatic etiquette and the importance attached to the meeting. The United Kingdom has long since ceased to be the United Kingdom in the seventeenth century, when the royal power covered the sky with one hand and the country's major affairs were decided with one word.

"Then... sister. Can I go in and listen?" Margaret said with a hint of pleading in her tone. "I'll just sit in the corner and I won't make trouble."

Um?Elizabeth suddenly turned her head to look at her younger sister. She felt that her younger sister was acting weird today. Why did she suddenly start to care about state affairs after she was always indifferent to state affairs?

"How can that be?" Elizabeth's face darkened. "There are professional people who are in charge of state affairs. I don't even have the right to attend this meeting. Only the father can sit there on behalf of the United Kingdom. And his body is obviously not suitable for long hours, so he handed over the power to the prime minister. No matter what Whatever the result, we just need to accept and approve the bill to take effect. Even if you go in and do nothing, it will cause trouble for the prime minister."

"Sister, with our status, every word and deed is related to the face of the country and the majesty of the royal family. If we do anything improper, we will be speculated about our motives and affect our international image, even if we don't think so!"

Volume 151.5: [-] Elizabeth who noticed the abnormality

"You are really spoiled by your father."

"I didn't mean that, I just..." Margaret quickly explained.

She was educated with her sister, so how could she not know this, but she didn't go there to make trouble.As for the reason, she didn't know how to explain it to her sister, so she forgot the words for a while and stood there in a daze.But the anxiety on his face was beyond words.

"Okay, stop talking!" Elizabeth interrupted Margaret in a cold tone. Judging from her sister's groggy expression, she was already [-]% sure that there was a man she liked in the American delegation this time.For this reason, even at the expense of the face of the royal family, he wanted to drill in.

This is simply ridiculous!

How can our marriage be done by ourselves?Where are those 50-[-]-year-old men worthy of your fascination?

Although she knew that this younger sister was not very peaceful since she was a child, her father's preference has cultivated her high-profile rebellious character.If it was just that Elizabeth could just turn a blind eye and pretend nothing happened, but on such an important occasion, this smelly sister is still so ignorant.

Margaret's behavior has touched the bottom line of her traditional and conservative sister.

The anger in Elizabeth's eyes flashed, she quickly regained her composure, and said in a serious tone: "Now, go back to your room, and you will not be allowed to come out until the meeting is over."

Being reprimanded by her sister, Margaret's beautiful face also showed a touch of anger.Not to be outdone, she bared her teeth like a lion cub. "Lily Bai! You are too much. Don't think that you can give orders to me because of my sister."

"Because I'm your older sister, I can't let you mess around." Elizabeth raised her hand, and two sturdy maids stood a few meters away behind her. "Are you planning to go back to the room by yourself, or let them accompany you?"

"All right! All right! I'll go by myself!" Margaret made a grimace at her sister, and Margaret got up and left.

Looking away from the back of her younger sister who was leaving angrily, Elizabeth pinched the base of her nose and couldn't help but let out a sigh.The younger sister is so self-willed, which makes her, the elder sister, a headache.

Although she was curious about which man took away her sister's soul, Elizabeth would not rashly go to the meeting room to find out, but she had already made a silent note of this matter in her heart, and would worry about it when the meeting was over.

In a conference room of Buckingham Palace, representatives of the United Kingdom and the United States are conducting secret talks on the issue of new energy sources for the Rubik's Cube.

The British side is represented by the Prime Minister, while the US is the Deputy Secretary of State.The two men reached an agreement on a series of issues one by one, and the process of the talks was moving forward at a steady pace.

At this time, the United Kingdom is governed by workers, and their leader is the current Prime Minister Attlee, a gentleman with a hygienic beard and a Mediterranean hairstyle.This party uses Fabianism as its program of action, emphasizing steady progress and gradual progress, and is committed to the nationalization of assets, which coincides with Griffin's idea that new energy should be controlled by the state.

In addition, Industrial D also contributed to the disintegration of the British colonial system during Attlee's tenure as prime minister, and insisted on following the road of democratic socialism with British characteristics.Voted G, but not fully.If you have to choose a partner among the many parties in the UK, the Labor Party is undoubtedly the best partner at present because it supports nationalization.

Griffin is wearing a simple uniform and sits in the second place below Deputy Secretary of State Acheson. Although there are many representatives with higher positions than her in the team, as the guardian of the Rubik's Cube, her position is worth surpassing. These political elites sit next to each other.The girl who used to be so eccentric looks very ladylike at this time. Facing the sincere exchanges between the representatives of the two countries, she hardly expresses any opinions.

In fact, even a non-politician can't make any substantive speeches on this kind of cooperation among major powers.It is true that she has a long-term macro plan, but when it comes to specific details, Griffin believes that she is not as effective as a professional.At the meeting, she is like a supervisor, always present and listening, no matter how boring the content is.

So far, the contents of Acheson's negotiations are still within the expected plan, so there is no need for her to make additional explanations.

However, because of her reticence and her choice of listening attitude, Griffin has always appeared frequently in the headlines of TV news and newspapers in the past two days, which made many people remember this dignified and beautiful German woman.

Because the victorious countries such as Britain and France are constantly whispering in the ears of the United States these days, opening and closing their mouths and letting me play with the Rubik's Cube.In order to block the mouths of these European powers, the United States took this opportunity to negotiate a lot of new energy orders with the United Kingdom, and the two sides exchanged friendly views on detailed rules and benefit distribution.It took two days before and after the meeting to finally reach an agreement.

These are formally documented in the memorandum.

In general, although the British capital and elites took advantage of a lot of advantages in the negotiations by relying on national endorsement and local advantages, the United States also took the opportunity to use the energy of the Rubik's Cube as a front and lure the construction aid plan, with limited hands extended into Britain.It not only promoted the economic recovery of the British mainland after the war, but also planted a time bomb in every colony and dominion.

Judging from the results of the current negotiations, both parties have obtained what each other wanted, and it can be said that everyone is happy.

But Griffin knew that from this moment on, Britain dug a hole for itself.

In addition to local infrastructure projects and industrial revival, Britain also has a large number of overseas colonies and dominions.As a source of completely squeezed raw materials, the colonies may not be so concerned about infrastructure construction, but the Dominion is different.The United Kingdom has promised too many benefits to these franchise members in order to win the war, and now is the time for them to demand that their promises be fulfilled.

Infinite Energy has proven its efficiency in the United States. If the United Kingdom still wants these member states to continue to surround the federation dominated by the British Isles, it must transfer more benefits to these dominions. However, the British mainland Of course, those with vested interests will not be willing to take advantage of outsiders like this. The only thing that can dispel the emotions of these people is to squeeze the colonies more fiercely.

And because of this kind of behavior, when those locals who participated in World War II and expanded their horizons and knowledge returned to their hometowns, when they found that they were the only ones who were injured, they would inevitably intensify conflicts and conflicts because of British behavior and accelerate national awakening. , which in turn led to a wave of colonial independence.

It's not that the British can't see this, but they can't do anything about it.Once the country is the size of the action, its inertia cannot be stopped by one or two people.

Volume 151.6: [-] Marguerite made full use of her artistic talent

In order to restore blood to the homeland, Britain after the war will further squeeze the colonies, and the first to bear the brunt is India, which is known as the brightest pearl in the crown.As a docile civilization with sufficient flexibility for endurance, even if the Indians are forced to death, they will probably think that this is an ordeal from heaven, and they will take this blessing for granted.Britain will never show any signs of decline until India is completely finished.

Infinite energy, as a new energy source that is more convenient and faster than the old energy source, will only be used by the UK to grab and harvest more wealth, just like the textile machine that was far more efficient than manual work.In the face of such a suzerain country with unlimited demands, India may be able to bear it, but are other colonies willing to be squeezed endlessly like this?

But even so, it cannot be said that the Infinite Energy Company is an accomplice of the United Kingdom. Even without Infinite Energy, these colonies will not be too far away from the road to final independence.At best, the advent of infinite energy has only nudged the decline of the old colonial empires.

Before the incident, who would have thought that India, the brightest pearl, would leave its own crown?

Therefore, Griffin is skeptical about how much the British side can get in the colonies through unlimited energy when the agreement is signed between the United Kingdom and the United States.If it is not done well, there will be a dramatic scene in the end that "the factory was built locally, but the benefits were not reaped, and the locals were all cheap in the end".

But... what does all this have to do with me, a little German girl?

You signed the letter yourself, and you were the ones who waved the whip at the slave. When the situation broke out completely, no one with a big brain would think that this was my setup, right?

I didn't say a word at the meeting.

At the moment when the talks reached a consensus, the smile on Griffin's face was also recorded by spotlights and TV screens. Her smile was so innocent and pure, and it became the focus of many British people who paid attention to her. They even cut the photo out of a newspaper to keep the most beautiful smile in the photo.The printing house also found a business opportunity, and this photo was all the rage as a postcard.

Although they didn't know why the girl laughed, but what evil could a girl with such a cute smile have?

Under the cooperation of the United Kingdom and the United States, Unlimited Energy finally took root outside the United States.This new energy flame that needs careful care is thriving.Griffin believes this was the first division of the Old World, and by no means the last.

Having settled the UK and settled the top priority of coming here, the girl finally felt a little relaxed. Then, under the arrangement of the British Foreign Secretary, the delegation visited several important cities in the UK.The main purpose is to inspect the factory site and experience the local customs by the way.

A week later, the delegation crossed to France.

When Elizabeth, who attended the farewell ceremony on behalf of the royal family, returned to Windsor Castle in Berkshire, the head maid reported a piece of bad news to her. Sleeping hall.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door, Elizabeth saw her sister.

When she saw the scene inside the house, although she had already made some preparations, she still showed a shocked expression.

I saw my sister sitting in front of an easel, holding a drawing board in one hand and a pen in the other, her attention always staying on the drawing paper.The room, which was always clean and tidy, was now covered by a large amount of torn paper, sawdust and paint, and even her body was covered with traces of paint.

For her sister's arrival, she completely gave up the royal etiquette that had been formed for many years. Not only did she not express anything, she didn't even look at Elizabeth.

Margaret's clothes were disheveled, and she looked tired, only her eyes under heavy dark circles exuded a heart-pounding vitality.

Is this how you take care of my sister?

Suppressing her anger, Elizabeth glanced at the female officer beside her. She waved away the servants present and asked the head maid to stand guard outside the door.After closing the door, she barely found a place to stay among the piles of garbage, and she came to her sister step by step.

After getting close to his sister, the rotten smell became more obvious.How long has it been since my younger sister has cleaned her body?

Facing Elizabeth's approach, Margaret seemed to be possessed. Her dry lips squirmed, she was muttering something, and the occasional laughter made this quiet room full of abnormal chaos even more weird.

Elizabeth had never seen her sister in such a situation. The corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and she couldn't help swallowing. She tried to speak several times but failed. The only sound in the room was the friction of the paintbrush on the paper.

Following her sister's line of sight, she saw the interior of a bathroom on the huge drawing paper, and Elizabeth recognized that it was the layout of Buckingham Palace.And the half-naked girl wrapped in a bath towel sitting on the bathtub is the guardian of the Rubik's Cube, Griffin Zeppelin, whom she had seen before.

Why did my sister draw such a picture?Why is she so obsessed with painting this picture?

Under the trend of uneasiness in her heart, Elizabeth picked up the crumpled drawing papers on the ground and spread them out one by one. She couldn't help breathing and her heart beating very fast for the pictures she saw.

All the paintings depict the same background, the same pose, and the same person.

This is……

Elizabeth shook her hands, and she couldn't help taking a step back. The drawing papers fell on the ground, and the corners of the eyes of the people in the paintings, which were so vividly outlined by her sister, seemed to be watching her from the corner of her eye.

And this gaze seems to be able to hook her soul away, making her an existence like her own sister.

Margaret has been gifted and intelligent since she was a child. She is extroverted and full of vitality. Even her spirit is more sensitive than herself, and she can always notice many things that she can't notice.Her singing can even attract birds in the trees, and her memory is also reflected in all her paintings.

She must have seen this girl's appearance with her own eyes, otherwise it would be impossible to draw such a likeness.

But when did she meet?

Elizabeth felt a little short of breath, and this dizziness was rapidly spreading to her whole body.She clutched her chest, hurried to the window and opened it, breathing in the cold air pouring in from outside.

Stimulated by the cold, the originally nervous mood is stabilizing with breathing.

She may not know what caused her sister to draw the same picture day and night these days, but she understands that this situation cannot continue.

Volume 151.7: [-] Sister, we need to have a good talk

"elder sister?"

The voice behind Elizabeth put away her thoughts, she turned her head, and saw her sister's stiff and pale face, those bloodshot eyes were staring straight at her, as if she was very confused why her sister appeared in her Room.

The next second, Margaret smiled at her sister.

Perhaps she didn't even notice that her laughter and appearance were so creepy.She jumped off the chair enthusiastically, stepped on the pile of paint and paper, and walked towards her sister, completely oblivious to the fear and resistance on her face.

Margaret grabbed one of her sister's arms, and said softly in a familiar but somewhat hoarse voice: "Come on, help me look at this painting... I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't find it. question……"

The younger sister's hand holding her arm was cold, just like Elizabeth's half-sinking mood.She was stiffly pulled to the easel by her younger sister, and she hardly dared to look into the eyes of the characters in the painting for the first time, even though the eyes of the characters were not paying attention to her.Until Elizabeth plucked up the courage to observe under the urging of her sister, the previous palpitations completely disappeared.

This is just an ordinary painting with wet paint, without the power of the devil that I felt before.

"What the hell is going on..." Relieved, Elizabeth turned her head to look at her younger sister who was excitedly describing the composition to herself. "What the hell is going on? Have you ever paid attention to where you are now? What made you like this?"

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Facing her sister's questioning, Margaret was taken aback for a moment, and then dissatisfaction appeared on her face. "If sister, you don't want to comment on my paintings, please leave my room. Such a work of art, I think you can't understand it. Yes, you can't understand at all. I told you a long time ago, I Far more sensitive than you, what you see is completely different from what I see, and I can feel the boundary that you can't feel. It is a gap that cuts off the communication channel between artists and ordinary people..."

"That's enough, don't talk anymore." Elizabeth couldn't bear it anymore, she grabbed the shoulder of her chattering younger sister, shaking her face anxiously, trying to wake her up. "Look at you now, where is the shadow of my familiar sister. I don't know what makes you eat or drink for days like a demon, destroying your body to complete this painting , but your current mental state is very worrying to me! My sister, art will not drive people into madness, you have to get out of it!"
