Chapter 23: The First Day Of Serving The Queen
"Uh-huh?"
When the Queen of Eternal Night heard Angelina's repeated calls, she finally realized that she was distracted.
She used magic to retrace a short scene just now, confirmed what she just reported, and said calmly:
"Just keep to your words!"
This pretending that nothing happened was too obvious.
Others in the cabinet also noticed that Her Majesty the Queen was a little out of sorts today.
But they didn't realize that the queen was peeking at Dio.
Even if they found out, they wouldn't think about relationship between men and women.
After all, the matter of the Queen's marriage has been discussed since she took the throne.
The stability of the empire, the continuity of the blood of the emperor, and nurturing qualified heirs to be the crown prince are all important.
It was just that the Queen of Eternal Night was too strong. Although she had been arranged to meet young talents and peerless handsome men before, none of them were able to arouse her interest.
Besides, even though a powerful magician couldn't live forever, it wasn't too hard for them to extend their lifespan by three to five hundred years.
So if the Queen wanted, she could transform into a Lich Queen.
So slowly, this major event was selectively ignored by everyone.
In the agenda at the beginning of each year, the secretary-general would prepare a marriage for the queen, and then the queen would veto it; this has become a regular occurrence.
Everyone believed that the queen had no interest in relationship between men and women, and only liked wars and magic.
But Angelina was the queen's best friend, after all, they grew up together.
She knew that the Queen once had a longing for a beautiful love.
It was just that her strength was getting stronger and stronger. Looking at the mainland, there was no one of the opposite sex that she liked.
Although this Dio Brando is only a high-level magician, he is appreciated by the queen, it can be seen that the relationship between the two people... is not ordinary.
It is admirable for Dio to be able to write the tenth volume of the history of the empire under pressure and make the historical truth public.
As for the matter of the Goddess of War's apostles attacking to stop the history from being compiled, that was something that could only fool outsiders.
You could hide it from anyone, but you couldn't hide it from the Right Minister who was able to freely intervene in the defense of the imperial capital.
The queen had clearly lost her temper that day.
But in the end, it was Dio who persuaded the queen.
This was unprecedented!
Angelina felt that in order to persuade the Queen of Eternal Night, who believed that the biggest fist is the truth, it wasn't possible with just logic alone.
So there must be some element of a beauty trap in this.
Angelina wrote it down on her memo.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she hoped that Dio could become the empire's prince-consort.
And when he becomes the prince consort, she had to ask him to help her persuade Her Majesty to lower the amount of fighting wars and killing people!
Roger didn't know that his sister was taking it down on the memo, intending to push her younger brother into the embrace of the queen.
If he had known, he would be enraged.
If Angelina hadn't arranged for him to mine coal, would he have gone to the Great Library and gotten involved in the crap work of editing the History of the Empire and be unable to escape?
The good news at this moment was that the long and boring cabinet meeting was finally over.
Had the meeting continued, he would have fallen asleep.
It's not easy to be an empress. Every day when you open your eyes, you have to face a lot of troubles.
"My ministers, you may retire."
Fourteen cabinet ministers filed out.
The Minister of History who was ranked last naturally walked out last too.
The work of editing the History of the Empire has been completed. Afterward, he can became an idle civil servant drinking tea and reading newspapers.
With his understanding of the system deepening, Roger felt that even if he could not get rid of his identity as Dio, he could still find new methods of loafing around. Also, he could find new ways to regain the system's reward.
Loafing around in the face of difficulties, in an environment where you cannot lie flat, creating opportunities to lie flat is the true nature of a man!
Just when he was about to practice the true loaf around, the Queen of Eternal Night said lightly:
"Lord Dio please wait."
"What?"
Roger stiffened and turned around in confusion.
"Have you forgotten that the Minister of History needs to record my words and deeds to compile the eleventh volume of the History of the Empire?"
"This... the minister obeys."
Roger felt helpless.
He had been busy with the printing of the book every day these days, and he forgot that the Queen had assigned him an official position like "Human Recording Machine".
Of course, he didn't want to.
Serving the queen directly, how can I afford to loaf around?
But it was his first day in office, it is not easy to find an excuse to slip away.
When Angelina listened to the conversation between Her Majesty and Lord Brando, a clear smile appeared on her face.
Sure enough, Her Majesty's treatment of this Lord Brando is out of the ordinary!
Although it's a bit stupid to use this kind of trick to forcibly hold a person of the opposite sex by your side...
She could hear Lord Brando's resistance, and he was reluctant to stay in the palace like this.
It's said that "Accompanying is the confession of love"!
Her Majesty is so active, maybe she will be able to see Prince Dio Shelley soon?
Well, Angelina unknowingly changed Dio's last name.
Women chase men so easily, do you understand?
I must find the right opportunity to play assistant, and get Prince Dio a good deal.
Heh, that naive Margaret would never be able to imagine these things!
I must find the right opportunity to assist Lord Dio and Her Majesty!
And when he becomes the prince consort, she had to ask him to help her persuade Her Majesty to lower the amount of fighting wars and killing people!
On this day, the Minister of History, Dio Brando, accompanied the Queen of Eternal Night for the first time, recording the busy day of the Queen of the Empire up close.
In the morning there's a cabinet meeting.
Afterward, the Queen received a governor who had entered the palace to report his duties and had a banquet in the palace.
In the afternoon, the Queen went to the outskirts of the capital to visit a newly opened highway and reward the construction workers.
Then the Queen went to the Mage Tower of the Secret Law Society to review the progress of several magic experiments.
the Queen took the time to meet with several members of parliament and dismissed their rude demands on behalf of his family.
Dinner was at the house of a long-standing marquis.
The eldest son of the Marquis admired the Queen, and Roger listened to the speech for two hours.
[Compared to her someone like him is just a lowly worm. 】
The queen lost her appetite when she heard it.
After returning to the palace, the Eternal Night Empress did a little refreshment and then began to review the memorial.
Roger was allowed to read the memorials for himself.
The Queen's abacus fiddled with crackles.
She was going to listen to Roger's stand-up comedy while he was reading the memorial...
Ah, no, it's a good policy to govern the country!
But she was disappointed.
She took Roger by her side all day and was not very satisfied with his performance.
In her impression, Roger was a person who crazily complained, laughed without fear, wasn't afraid of anything, and who could come up with a lot of crazy ideas.
But today, apart from some routine lines such as "the queen is very strong", "the queen is very busy", and "the queen's back is beautiful", there is nothing that makes her stand out.
Most of the time, his head is empty, and his only thought is [so sleepy].
At noon, she asked the royal chef to carefully prepare a big meal, and the response she got was "I miss the chef in the house".
Roger's inner reaction was, [Is this it?].
In the evening, when I went to visit the marquis's luxurious banquet, Roger kept sneering at [This man was so bad].
Now holding the memorial, even though his face was as if he was looking at the memorial seriously, his thoughts were even more unscrupulous [so sleepy].
It's like yawning is contagious, the queen is so sleepy because of Roger's appearance!
She was very angry! Very upset!
When following me, you're either sleepy or tired. Shouldn't you be strong and perform well?
This bastard used to fool around, but at least something useful always popped up in his heart.
Why is it that the style is different now that you have finished the history book?
Wait, revise the history book...
Empress Eternal Night's expression suddenly softened a lot.
From the beginning of his tenure as a historian, Roger has been working hard for nearly a month.
The history of the empire is indeed very effective, especially the tenth volume, which is very good.
As a result, the energy consumption was too great, so he was squeezed dry?
The queen showed a disdainful smile.
That's it?
At such a young age, is your physical strength so weak?
Had she accidentally broken him?
She chuckled lightly, and in the candlelight, her voice was as seductive and alluring as a demon's :
"Lord Dio, do you want to take a vacation?"
