Chapter 20: The Precious Picture Of The Ruler And Her Minister Uniting
[Wait, Your Majesty, isn't that history your inner demon? Don't force yourself! 】
[If I really compile your black history like this and send it out, won't I be scolded by a large number of unknown people from the Empire, or even assassinated?]
[You suddenly want to be broadminded. But with such a broad mind, won't you accidentally kill me? Those barbarians of the empire will not be as calm as you...]
Roger's voice trembled: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, I can continue being a historian?"
"Not only that, you will be my historical advisor and minister in the future, you will truthfully record my words and deeds when you enter the palace, and you will compile history books in the future."
She waved her sleeves boldly, showing an expression that was no longer confused.
I have a clear conscience! Let the world comment!
Not only did the queen speak, but she also scattered the mist that had been concealing them.
She began to have the spirit of a king who was tolerant and fearless and faced all the eyes of the world calmly.
At this moment, the realm and strength of the Eternal Night Queen broke through by a small margin.
But Roger only heard her say that not only would he continue to be a historian, but also he would join the Queen's cabinet, and he began to panic.
He had disguised himself and created this identity in order to stay away from the queen. He just wanted to loaf around and open treasure chests.
As a result, he suddenly became a cabinet minister who was always by her side?
Wasn't this the opposite of his goal?
Roger quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, the empire is in troubled times, publishing these histories may be used by the Church of the Seven Gods!"
"It doesn't matter for them to slander me. Sooner or later, if we kill them all one by one, the empire will be safe!"
She took the oath domineeringly.
Roger still wanted to persuade her to say something but found that the fog around him had dissipated.
The magicians and guards of the Great Library, as well as the imperial guards who came over from outside, all looked over with shocked, curious, and inquiring eyes.
The Queen of Eternal Night blew up a third of the Great Library in anger. This was something that a lot of people had seen. It was impossible to hide it anymore.
At that time, she seemed to be talking to the historian Dio Brando. Naturally, many people attributed the Queen's anger to this young man.
Could it be that he did something wrong? Or was there a problem in editing the history of the empire, which caused Her Majesty to lose her temper...?
Therefore, the curious gazes faintly contained hostility.
If the Queen gave the word, each and every one of them were ready to release their spit and drown this kid!
[This fog's dissipation was by no means a coincidence. Did the empress who was stunned manipulate public opinion to cover me? Oh! So insidious! So cunning!]
[That's right, she's a fierce person who can think of some conspiracies, and she understands people's hearts very well...]
Roger's stomach full of excuses and reasons turned into grievances. In front of so many people, he didn't dare to say anymore.
In desperation, his acting skills came online. His face was suddenly full of respect and excitement for the surrounding people to see:
"I give my gratitude to Your Majesty for your trust, and I will do my best to compile the history of the Empire for you!"
"Just work earnestly, Mr. Dio, don't worry about anything. Even if the Goddess of War comes in person, she won't be able to stop you from revealing the truth to the public."
The Queen of Eternal Night was also an accomplished actress, and she put her small hand on Roger's shoulder.
This precious picture of the ruler and her minister uniting against the Church of the Seven Gods moved countless people!
The Queen also gave a reasonable explanation for the explosion of a third of the Great Library and her previous anger.
It was all because the Goddess of War sent her apostles to sneak into the capital, wanting to destroy the compilation of the empire's history!
The Queen of Eternal Night arrived to capture the apostles of the Goddess of War, but they stubbornly resisted.
Although the Queen of Eternal Night won in the end, the two sides in the battle could not control their strength, and the aftermath caused part of the Great Library to collapse.
Dio Brando and the historical advisory group who were present were all witnesses to the battle.
The headline of the next day's "The Queen‘s Achievement’":
Her Majesty personally broke the Goddess of War conspiracy, killing the apostles in the process!
Imperial Noble: Damn Goddess of War, we want war!
People of the Empire; Her majesty is the best in the world!
Church of the Goddess of War: If I said I didn't do anything, would you believe me?
Roger: The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. I was there and saw with my own eyes that the queen made up this lie out of nothing, without even blinking an eye...
…
…
Despite the testimony of many magicians and guards in the mysterious capital, Dio Brando continued to serve as the historian.
At the same time, he will also serve as the Minister of History Consultant.
A commoner had become part of the emperor's cabinet staff, a first in the empire.
Many, many nobles protested against this.
However, for the time being, no one dared to conspire against Lord Brando.
Because the Eternal Night Queen publicly declared that she would protect this civilian minister.
Whoever dares to touch him is to openly declare war against the Queen, and she will investigate it to the end.
This was a magical world. With the blessing of various incredible abilities, the difficulty of a perfect crime is much higher than in the previous world.
Even if Roger wanted to use the "I kill myself" trick to get away, he had to consider the consequences.
Is the authority of being the younger brother of the Right Prime Minister high enough to openly slap the Queen in the face?
After some deliberation, Roger felt that if he did this, even without the Queen's anger, his sister Angelina would execute her brother in the name of righteousness and turn herself in to the Palace.
Therefore, he could only continue as a historian for the time being, and there was a high probability that he wouldn't be able to escape becoming a consultant for the Minister of History.
Although this consultant position had been randomly created by the Queen of Eternal Night, no one would take the Queen's words as a joke. Immediately a whole set of cabinet ministers' clothing, status medals, and treatment standards were drawn up by the right minister.
To make a full play, Roger hurriedly found a small apartment in the wealthy area of the mysterious capital to use as Dio Brando's residence.
He gave the landlord an extra six months rent and asked her to prove that he lived here six months ago.
A huge amount of money fell from the sky, so the landlord would naturally not refuse.
Afterward, Roger, as Dio, met Angelina at his residence and received from her the employment documents personally sent by the Prime Minister.
This was also a performance for the nobles to see.
In addition to being the right minister of the empire, Angelina was also the head of the Charles family, a duke of the empire, and a person at the top of the aristocracy.
Her willingness to accept a civilian staff member into the Queen's cabinet would affect the attitude of a considerable number of nobles.
This was also a signal that the Queen wanted to promote more civilian officials.
The empire was now too big, and it needed many officials.
Only relying on the nobles of the Green Vines Empire, in the end, I am afraid that they can be the governor without knowing any bad person.
The Queen did not want to see such a scene.
Therefore, she could only draw from the commoners to add fresh blood and establish a more sound and professional administrative system.
Especially now that the "Recovery Army" was in full swing, and the problem of insufficient number and capacity of local officials in the empire was becoming more and more prominent.
This became an excuse for the Queen's faction to strictly select officials and improve the overall level.
As for the small historian-turned cabinet minister, the hatred had been firmly drawn.
...
…
After three or four days of tossing and turning, Roger finally solved the many loopholes in Dio's identity.
In the short term, he can only be Dio during the day, and he can be the young master of Charles' family at night.
There was no joy in this life. Everything had gone completely contrary to what he originally envisioned.
Naturally, his Acedia System's treasure chest disappeared again.
What's even more serious is that even Roger, who thought of himself as a little clever, couldn't think of a way to break out of this situation in the short term.
His life and death was already tied to the identity of Dio!
Under the pressure of the Queen's urging, he could only obediently work as a historian for now. He would finish the work at hand first and then think about other things.
And so, ten days passed.
The action of the "Recovery Army" reached its peak. In the homeland of the Seventeen Kingdoms, the empire's rule felt precarious.
In the imperial capital, the movement to allow civilians to become officials faced undercurrents from the traditional nobles.
At this time, the ten volumes of "History of the Green Vines Empire" was completed, published, and made available to the whole empire.
