I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

But after thinking it over, Miss Demon, who was feeling a little depressed, carefully put the needle and thread and the unfinished clothes into the storage box and carefully hid it in the secret compartment under her bed.

Then she carefully took care of her face in front of the dressing table and began to arrange her itinerary in her mind as usual.

As the leader of the Tower of Babel, Theresa knew very well that she had no so-called vacation, nor should she have any so-called vacation.

Even if all members voted unanimously to require Theresa to take this vacation, Theresa would only choose to pretend to rest due to public opinion, but in fact she would still arrange her vacation very full, which would be no different from usual.

Today, although I really want to have further contact with Ikaros, I consider that too frequent contact will only make people alert and disgusted.

Theresa, who is extremely sociable, decided to have another 'chance encounter' with Ekalos or Arturo tomorrow.

Some minor regrets, but not a big problem.

After all, Babel Tower still needs me to continue to lead, and my dream also requires me and everyone to work hard together.

We can't let the people who have gathered here for their beliefs and ideals feel disappointed just for the sake of public good, can we?

Perhaps the 'self' in the dream would give up an entire empire for the Grand Duke.

But Theresa, at least the current Theresa, cannot do that for the Grand Duke.

This was true even if the real Grand Duke stood in front of her.

What's more, the mission and dream of the other 'self' have already been completed, while my own are still so far away.

and so……

"Today, let's go check on the progress of the Originium research, then bring some flowers to the injured warriors, then bring some books and candies to the children, then go see the doctor and Amiya, and take a look at Kulusier."

Theresa thought so in her heart, nodded to herself, and walked out of her room with a pleasant smile, starting her "holiday" as the leader of Babel Tower, the Demon Lord of Sarkaz.

And he hid the little thoughts of the girl named Theresa in his heart.

Along the way, as always.

The operators respected her, the Sarkaz loved her, the children liked her, and the guards loved her.

Various positive emotions filled Theresa's surroundings and slightly influenced Theresa, soothing her originally regretful mood of not being able to see Ekalos, and turning her into calm and gentle.

Theresa also responded with a smile to all the operators and Sarkaz around her, saying hello and delivering a short but sincere blessing from the Demon King.

She remembered everyone's name clearly, whether they were Sarkaz or not.

Everything is so much the same as before, everything seems so touching and warm.

Until... after Theresa visited a series of departments including the medical department, the veterans' sanatorium, the Babel Tower temporary primary school, etc., it was noon.

When Miss Demon King walked past the bathroom, Theresa paused slightly when she heard the excited whispers of two female operators.

"Hey, have you heard? It seems like a noble lady has come to the B living room area. She's driving the forum crazy. Are you interested in going with me after get off work to see her? I heard she looks like the kind of lady in the storybooks!"

"Eh? Is it true? Is Victoria's noble lady on the Tower of Babel? There's no way that group of nobles would come. But now that you mention it, I'm interested. Let's go and take a look together after get off work."

Generally speaking, Theresa doesn't care much about what the operators chat and discuss on the Tower of Babel. It's not that she doesn't care about everyone's gossip, but there is too much gossip in daily life. There may be more than a dozen completely different gossips and story materials about a certain operator.

Theresa, who has to deal with many things every day, naturally cannot pay attention to every detail.

She is a human being after all, with limited energy. Otherwise, Theresa, who is also a woman and a little bit sinister, would not mind knowing some interesting gossip about the Tower of Babel.

Otherwise, if you can't even think about interesting things while you're working on documents, wouldn't that be too hopeless?

But this time, Theresa happened to pass by and heard the trivial discussion, which caught her attention and curiosity.

Maybe she is a little too sensitive.

But when the two words Victoria and nobility were combined, Theresa, who had just come into contact with Ikaros yesterday, couldn't help but think of the Grand Duke.

Although she knew that it was basically impossible for the Grand Duke to have any relationship with her, Theresa couldn't help but stop and, after making up an excuse for her behavior, she quietly approached the two female operators who were discussing the news about the mysterious noble, and spoke softly,

"that……"

"Woo! Don't punish me! I didn't slack off! It's all her fault. She was the one who dragged me to the bathroom! It's none of my business!"

"*Sarkaz swearing, why are you the first to complain?! Didn't we discuss this together? You ungrateful woman, I DN..."

"Ahem, stop for a moment, you two. I'm not here to catch you slacking off. I just have something I want to ask you two ladies." Theresa coughed twice to prevent the two women from fighting, and used the power of the Demon King to calm the two women down a little.

This made the two girls, who subconsciously felt that they were caught slacking off again and were planning to sell their good friends to save their lives, calm down and notice the face of the person who came after them.

then……

Their emotions, which had just calmed down, became even more excited.

“Your Highness… wuwawawawa!! It’s Your Highness Theresa who’s alive! Did you see it?! Your Highness is talking to me!!!”

“Ah?! What do you mean His Highness is talking to you? It’s obviously Her Highness Theresa who is talking to me! Talk to me!!!”

Obviously, for the two young Sarkaz girls who have just joined the job, getting caught for slacking off, fighting among best friends, and gossip are more important.

The appeal of this gentle Demon King obviously surpasses everything!

After all, Theresa is really pretty! And her gentle temperament and attraction to the Sarkaz are not something these young people can resist.

Considering Theresa's status as the Demon King and leader, it would be strange if these two girls were not excited.

Under normal circumstances, Theresa would not mind chatting with these energetic Sarkaz girls for a while.

But she didn't have that thought today, so Theresa once again used her own Originium skills to suppress the two girls' excitement, agitation, and excitement, which barely allowed them to calm down and listen to her carefully.

After learning the purpose of Theresa's visit, the two Sarkaz girls excitedly told Theresa everything they knew about the noble who was suspected to be from Victoria.

It also made Theresa more interested in meeting the other party.

"Is that so? Thank you for telling me this information, but remember not to slack off at work next time, Anna, Becca." After listening to the two people's description, Theresa showed a thoughtful look, then smiled and nodded, and at the same time did not forget to tease the two girls.

"Of course, if you are tired, you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest. If you can't stand it anymore, you can also look at the sky outside. After all, these are allowed in the employee code of conduct, right?"

"Yes! Your Highness, I will definitely keep your instructions in mind! I will never slack off again!"

"I...I, me too! Your Highness, we promise not to slack off in the bathroom anymore!"

The two Sarkaz girls were deeply moved by Theresa's thoughtful words and were so excited that they were almost crying while making promises to Theresa.

Theresa's expression was somewhat helpless, but more of it was kindness and relief.

After all, if possible, she really hopes that all Sarkaz can be as carefree, lively, and full of vitality as the two girls in front of her, with their eyes full of hope for the future.

This can be said to be her goal.

Although there is no end in sight, I am also a little overestimating my own capabilities.

However, now that her Originium disease was gradually weakening and healing, Theresa felt that she was not completely blind to the vision.

This is actually enough.

Afterwards, Theresa said goodbye to the two girls. Unfortunately, just after they said goodbye, the two Sarkaz girls who were so excited that they were skipping back to the infirmary hand in hand were caught by the head nurse. They were immediately scolded, and the excitement and happiness on the girls' faces because of seeing Theresa were instantly replaced by bitterness and grievance. They were like quails encountered by the sky and the earth, and they dared not raise their heads.

Theresa, who was looking at the backs of the two girls and thinking about the future, couldn't help laughing after seeing the Sichuan Opera face-changing scene.

This smile was obviously noticed by the head nurse, who immediately noticed Theresa's figure and wanted to explain something in a panic.

But Theresa just nodded and turned away.

However, he never thought that his unintentional action would be misunderstood by the head nurse, who directly criticized the two girls even more harshly.

But Theresa was obviously not aware of any of this.

After turning around, Theresa began to think about the mysterious Victorian nobleman who appeared at the Tower of Babel.

Since Theresa didn't have the habit of carrying a terminal with her, she couldn't look up relevant information through the Babel Tower's "forum".

Plus, she didn't want to trouble others, nor did she want to add to the workload of Ascalon, who already had a lot of work to do.

After much thought, Theresa decided to go to Area B in person to see who the noble was.

You don’t know until you go, and you’ll be shocked when you go.

I didn't see the so-called 'Victorian noble lady' that was being discussed the first time I arrived in Area B.

After entering area B, Theresa felt as if she had stepped into a quiet garden.

No...it shouldn't be said that it was like stepping into a quiet garden, but Area B, which was originally supposed to be a large-scale comprehensive entertainment and rest area for employees, was completely transformed into a beautiful garden by an unknown force!

Without any falsehood or flaw.

The warm sunshine, the blue sky and the floating white clouds are all so real.

Different birds are singing and playing happily, and butterflies and bees are flying among the bright flowers.

Flowers from different seasons, different regions, and even different times are all blooming in the most beautiful posture after being carefully cultivated, exuding refreshing and light fragrance floating in this "garden".

Quiet and peaceful.

It was as beautiful and fantastic as the so-called paradise on earth in Dayan, making people want to sink into it unconsciously.

And that’s not all.

In this garden, at this moment, there are still waves of clear and melodious piano sounds echoing, which are crisp, distant and long, as if silently telling a story from the distant past...

——It also seemed as if he was extending an invitation to Theresa from the present moment.

Theresa finally realized something.

Then he quickly rushed through the deserted garden to the pavilion made of white marble and surrounded by countless flowers, which he had only seen in dreams and memories.

And at the same moment Theresa saw the pavilion.

At the same time, I saw the back that was so familiar, so beloved, so desired, but at the same time so hated.

At this moment, Theresa's amber eyes shrank unconsciously.

And in the reflection of those gorgeous amber eyes, the figure in Victorian aristocratic dress seemed to have noticed Theresa's arrival.

He stopped playing in her eyes and slowly turned around...

Chapter 183: The Grand Duke? Or Someone Else?

The world seemed to have completely quieted down at this moment.

The birds no longer sing, and the piano no longer dances in the breeze.

But Theresa obviously had no time to think about those things at the moment.

She stared blankly at the girl in gorgeous clothes who was looking at her with a faint smile, and her heart began to become confused.

Is it her?

Yes, with this look, this smile, and this scene, who else could it be but her?

Theresa's heart was filled with emotions, and the twisted feelings that had been restrained in her heart were also pushing her to regard the figure in front of her as the Grand Duke.

Those emotions urgently wanted Theresa to hug, kiss, bite, restrain, or even kill this grand duke-like man with her own hands.

But she looked at the broken white crystal wings behind the 'Grand Duke'. Although his iconic pure white halo was covered by his hat, Theresa still recognized his identity.

At the same time, it also helped him maintain his last bit of sanity.

"Yes... Miss Ikaros?" She spoke again after a brief silence. At this moment, Theresa did not bother to think about why this area had turned into a garden, nor did she bother to think about where the operators who were supposed to have gathered here were.

She had to make herself clear about Ikaros's identity.

Or rather... this is Ekaros's identity at this moment.

Although my consciousness was a little confused and my thoughts were very mixed and chaotic.

But Theresa was still keenly aware that although Ikaros yesterday and today was the same person, there was a clear difference in temperament.

If Icarus yesterday was a gentle and virtuous girl, then Icarus today gave people an aristocratic temperament that was elegant to the core.

Theresa, who was almost certain that Ikaros was the Grand Duke, had actually confirmed Ikaros' identity in her heart.

However, she still controlled her thoughts and desires very well.

At least...it's still like this now.

"Well, hello, Miss Theresa, long time no see." The Grand Duke looked at Theresa, who had no other emotions except for some surprise and confusion. He felt a little disappointed, but he still maintained his elegance and bowed slightly to Theresa.

As the Demon King and the current head of Manchester, the Grand Duke, who was already the former head of the family, had wanted to do this a long time ago.

Nowadays, the simulation has little or no effect on Theresa.

But in order to make up for his inner regret, the Grand Duke still did it.

I also felt that I might have said some strange things.

After all, they just separated yesterday, so how could they say they haven't seen each other for a long time?
