C3 I Need to Play with Him for a While Longer
The one who was most surprised wasn't Roger, but Angeline.
Her sister knew her brother well. When she heard that he was conferred the title of Marquis, she was surprised, moved, and in disbelief.
He had already answered in such a manner, yet His Majesty still said it was ingenious?
This was obviously giving face to the Charles family, to the deceased father, and to the Empire's Right Minister!
The Queen must have thought of the Marquis position long ago.
No matter how her brother replied, he would not be able to escape.
His Majesty is very kind to our Charles family!
"Your Majesty, this official will definitely be loyal to the country, and will not rest until one of us dies!"
She looked at the Empress and slowly knelt down. Her beautiful forehead heavily touched the ground, and her eyes were red.
Since my younger brother is unable to repay the Empress, I will definitely work even harder, and do the same for him, so as to repay Your Majesty!
Eternal Night Empress recovered from Roger's analysis of the Gods and discovered that his expression was distorted due to pain, and the gratitude on his face was not sincere at all.
On the contrary, Angeline knelt on the ground and was so touched that she wanted to cry.
This was not right, right?
The empress could not help but doubt her life.
Eh, could it be that I was distracted and said the wrong name, saying that it was Anjie?
'No, I wouldn't make a mistake. I gave Roger the title of Marquis.'
Smelly sister, you scared Zhen!
Eternal Night Empress looked at Angeline discontentedly.
She also reacted to what was going on.
Because only she could hear Roger's thoughts. No one else had heard his profound explanation of the relationship between the Gods and the Empire.
Even someone as smart as Angeline had been deceived by her brother.
Naturally, the Empress did not confer him the title of Marquis. Instead, she gave the Charles family clan a reward.
Eternal Night Empress had a crafty look in her eyes. She was ready to expose Roger's talent and then nurture him with great care. She would entrust him with a heavy responsibility.
Perhaps in a few years, the number one person in the Secret Arts Society would change.
But when she saw the shocked faces of everyone present, a thought flashed through her mind.
Roger was so smart, yet he would rather be mocked as a useless younger brother than hide his true strength. He must have his own considerations.
Perhaps his powerful mental strength was not born naturally. What if there were other factors?
Maybe the secrets he grasped would bring him endless trouble?
Perhaps he already had experts behind him who were nurturing him, deliberately wanting him to keep a low profile?
Eternal Night Empress had experienced too many conspiracies. From weak to strong, every step was extremely difficult to take.
After thinking for a moment, she immediately thought of hundreds of reasons for Roger and explained why he was hiding.
This was not disloyal to the empire, but Roger had his reasons!
If it was an ordinary problem, the Empress would naturally wave her hand and defend Roger.
But now, their common enemy was...
Gods!
Even though Eternal Night Empress was the strongest in the mortal world, she still found it difficult to breathe when faced with these ancient vermin.
After thinking about it again and again, Eternal Night Empress decided not to expose Roger's identity for the time being.
She had to be more stable when facing the Gods.
The Empire seemed to be like the sun at noon, sweeping through seventeen countries.
However, after three years of becoming an Emperor, under its power, undercurrents were surging.
Outside were the gods in the sky and the powerful races surrounding it, as well as the descendants of seventeen countries.
These were all worries that made Eternal Night Empress unable to sleep at night.
Perhaps one day, she would also die under the cooperation of the gods.
But keeping Roger as a secret card, using an unchanging method to deal with changes, there was a final glimmer of hope for the continuation of the existence of the Ivy Kingdom!
He should be thinking the same thing, right?
This kid is really smart!
In the end, Eternal Night Empress did not explain and allowed the misunderstanding to arise.
Just maintain the tacit understanding with him at the moment, one in the light and one in the dark, as the Twin Stars that illuminated the empire, slowly resolve the heavy troubles of the empire!
How could Roger know that he had already become the "hope of the empire" in the eyes of the empress?
He only saw Eternal Night Empress, who was so beautiful and domineering, suddenly and meaningfully winked at him with her left eye.
It was as if she was saying that it was decided?
A woman who had always been high and mighty suddenly made such a playful expression. It was indeed a contrast of cuteness.
LSP was ecstatic!
Roger could not help but also blink his left eye.
But then, he felt extremely troubled.
Wait a minute... Blood Mother, what's with your expression of knowing me very well? What exactly have we agreed on?
I really don't know anything. Blood Mother, give me a hint. This blind vision is making me feel insecure...
Eternal Night Empress suddenly raised the corner of her mouth.
So it turns out that not revealing Roger's strength has another advantage.
It was to be able to have a clear conscience and secretly admire his rich inner thoughts!
Now, he knew about the conflict between the empire and the gods, but only he knew. He didn't know that he knew. His sister didn't know what he knew either.
The Empress played with the layers of nesting dolls happily, adding a rare splendor to the life of Iron and Blood Administrators.
"I need to play with him for a while."
Eternal Night Empress thought so.
Eternal Night Empress took an afternoon tea in Charles' manor.
During the meal, she and Angeline did not talk about politics. They talked about a lot of things that happened during the time of Ivy Kingdom.
At that time, Eternal Night Empress was still the little princess and Angeline was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Charles.
The two best friends' lives were very comfortable.
In the end, the neighboring country invaded, and the Ivy Kingdom met with a disaster.
Most of the king, princes, civil officials, and generals died.
Eternal Night Empress was forced to succeed the throne in that shocking event, and then she turned the tides and survived until she swept through the seventeen countries.
Now, her two best friends were in charge of the empire, but the carefree and happy life she had at that time was no longer there.
Roger was appointed by Eternal Night Empress to accompany her by the side.
The Empress had no other purpose. Of course, she wanted to hear his rich inner thoughts.
Perhaps, there was something fun to complain about?
In the end, Roger felt sleepy on the spot, and he kept yawning!
How could I, the eternal scholar, not know about these old matters? Can't we talk about something new?
This indifferent reaction made Eternal Night Empress somewhat annoyed.
My life of ups and downs is just an old matter?
What fresh things do you want to know, what does Zhen's boudoir look like?
Besides being angry, she couldn't help but wonder what a 'eternal scholar' was.
A scholar specialized in studying the Empire of Eternal Night?
And an ancient profession that even she herself didn't know about?
Perhaps this "eternal scholar" was the reason why Roger had such a powerful spiritual talent and understood the secrets of the gods?
After chatting with Angeline until she was satisfied, Eternal Night Empress teleported back to the Palace.
She immediately arranged two things.
Discuss the possibility of prohibit the preaching of the churches of the gods!
In addition, all the members of the Secret Arts Society stopped their work and investigated the relevant information regarding the "eternal scholar"!
However, at this moment, the upper echelons of Mystery Capital were discussing the news:
His Majesty had bestowed the title of the younger brother of the Empire's Right Minister Angeline, the infamous loser Roger Charles, and had been conferred the title of Marquis Lakapas by the Empress!
Countless people were in an uproar!
The title of the empress was Eternal Night. She loved the night and loved the stars in the sky.
Thus, in the Empire of Eternal Night, before the title of Empress' favorite subject, she would be given the title of Constellation, and not a territory.
For example, the Right Prime Minister Angeline was the Duke of Farah Kingdom of Dawn.
Left Prime Minister Margaret would be the Marquis of Germatian.
The First Seat of the Secret Arts Society, Delia, was Viscount Moha Thor.
These were all very bright stars in the sky.
Lakapas, the two main stars of the Southern Flag.
They were bright, beautiful, and had many variations. They were known as the pearls of Natsuya.
Now, a famous useless younger brother in the imperial capital was actually conferred the title of Lakamas by the empress?
Was he worthy of being called Natsuya's pearl?
It was more like a pig!
The lemon tree was filled with lemon fruits, and the lemon tree was filled with people:
"What? His Majesty actually personally came to the Charles family to see Angeline and Angeline?"
"The Empire's Right Minister is already below one person and above ten thousand people. This time, her brother is also going to rise up!"
"A useless brother can also be a marquis? Then can my foolish son be made an earl..."
"Tears streaming down my face, I have made countless contributions, and I am only a Count. In the end, that guy relied on his sister to become a Marquis?"
"Why wasn't I born in Charles family? Why wasn't my sister Angeline?"
"Let's put our cards on the table. I also want to compete with elder sister!"
"Sister, if you want to stand up, brother's title will depend on you..."
At the center of this storm, Charles' manor.
Roger tossed and turned, his mind was in a mess, and he could not fall asleep.
Until midnight, a new day began.
"System, settlement!"
He only wanted to know if he had been lying flat yesterday.
My random treasure chest wouldn't have been destroyed by Eternal Night Empress, right?
