218~ The Glaze Nation Royal Family...~
"Your Highness Mo? Why were the blankets and sheets all changed to new ones?"
The little loli maid asked curiously.
"Red Leaf said it was time to take them for washing."
"Is that so?"
The little loli maid Xiyan placed her gaze on Red Leaf and received confirmation.
It seemed Her Highness Mo might have had some kind of nightmare last night, right?
However, she actually hadn't noticed anything wrong early this morning. This was dereliction of duty! She had to apologize to Her Highness Mo!
"I'm sorry! Your Highness Mo! This morning was my oversight. I failed to notice your problem in time!"
On the side, Red Leaf, who had just returned from the Empress not long ago, shrugged her shoulders.
This was something the person figured out themselves. This had absolutely nothing to do with her at all!
"..."
Forget it! If they knew, then they knew! Anyway, only Red Leaf and Xiyan knew now. There couldn't possibly be a third person who knew, right?
"Mo."
"Your Majesty the Empress." ×2
Seeing that the Empress had come, the two hurriedly bowed.
"You two go out first."
The Empress waved her hand, dismissing the two little maids. The entire bedchamber was left with only her and the little Princess.
"What..."
The little Princess didn't know what the Empress suddenly wanted with her, but she had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Nothing, just came to tell Mo that the carriage and coachman are already prepared. As long as Mo helps me refine things a bit more, you can return to Glaze Nation at any time."
Sure enough, there was nothing good when she came looking for her!
Using helping Scarlet Phoenix Nation refine the system in exchange for the opportunity to return to Glaze Nation, no matter how you looked at it, this was a losing deal. But considering that she was still under the Empress's control and essentially had no right to speak, she accepted it.
At least her current situation wasn't too bad. Her country still existed, and she was now barely considered free in Scarlet Phoenix Nation. As long as she reported to the Empress and brought a little maid along, she could go out shopping.
It was no longer like before when someone would be watching her in the shadows no matter what she did.
Compared to before, this was truly so much freer!
"Rest assured, if Mo can help me refine things, I'll also strongly support the Glaze Nation royal family. This way, Mo will forever be the First Princess of Glaze Nation."
The Empress pinched the little Princess's face and began playing with it.
This little face was still something she could never tire of playing with no matter what. It felt excellent to pinch!
"Mm..."
"The crystal necklace I gave Mo, does Mo still have it?"
"I do."
That crystal necklace was something the Empress gave her so she could save her life in dangerous moments. How could she possibly casually throw away such a precious thing?
Although the Empress could also know her location through this necklace, so what? Anyway, she was already destined to be unable to escape from the Empress's palm. Even without wearing this necklace, the Empress could still know her exact location. She might as well keep it to save her life at critical moments.
The little Princess took out the crystal necklace from her Magic Space Ring and handed it to the Empress.
The Empress lightly tapped her finger on the necklace's gemstone and injected some magic power.
The magic on this necklace used to protect the little Princess still needed to be replenished with magic power from time to time.
"This way, Mo shouldn't have to worry about getting injured on the road anymore, right?"
"Mm."
The little Princess's gaze shifted to the side.
"Mo, I heard that this morning you..."
"Rua! Don't mention it!"
Before the Empress could finish speaking, the little Princess's face had already turned as red as an apple. She shouted for the Empress to shut up.
That matter this morning, she really never wanted to recall it again for the rest of her life. That kind of thing where she'd completely thrown away her dignity...
But speaking of which, why did the Empress know about this!?
Red Leaf... It must be Red Leaf! It definitely was Red Leaf who told the Empress! Otherwise, how could the Empress possibly know!
Case solved! After a while, she definitely had to properly settle accounts with Red Leaf!
On the other side.
"Achoo!"
"Senior Red Leaf, are you sick?"
"No... Perhaps someone is talking about me."
...
"Mo."
The Empress's expression suddenly became serious.
"I know Mo has always considered Glaze Nation very important and also considers your Father the King very important, but I must remind Mo here... Familial affection is a double-edged sword. Perhaps at some point, Mo will be hurt because of it."
"So? What are you trying to say?"
"I think Mo should indeed go back to Glaze Nation to take a look."
The Empress placed her hand on the little Princess's head and said meaningfully.
"What do you mean?"
Don't be a riddle person, hey!
"Mo should go back and see for yourself."
According to the intelligence she knew, she only knew that some problems had appeared within the Glaze Nation royal family. Specifically what problems, that was unknown.
But what could be certain was that within the Glaze Nation royal family, they might be starting to fight for power and profit again, and the little Princess happened to be the biggest variable among them.
With Scarlet Phoenix Nation as backing, even if all the royal family members now stood in opposition to the little Princess, they couldn't possibly shake the little Princess's status.
As for why she told the little Princess, she was afraid that if she didn't tell the little Princess, perhaps the little Princess would truly hate her for a lifetime.
Having just adjusted their relationship to not be so cold and rigid, she didn't want to return to the starting point.
"Did problems appear within the royal family members?"
The little Princess looked up and asked.
The Empress nodded, confirming her speculation.
As for why she didn't directly intervene?
One of the things she'd promised the little Princess was that she absolutely wouldn't interfere in the Glaze Nation royal family's internal affairs.
"If Mo wants to return to Glaze Nation, just tell me after Mo has refined the system."
Currently, the system the little Princess had left for Scarlet Phoenix Nation was already quite refined. It wouldn't take much longer, and Scarlet Phoenix Nation just happened to need this system to carry out reforms.
"Mm..."
The little Princess's mood was somewhat complicated.
She'd clearly swept away all those forces that had infiltrated the Glaze Nation royal family just recently. How were there problems again now?
She was somewhat speechless.
Could it be that after that purge, those princes and princesses didn't have even a bit of awareness?
However, not knowing what problems had appeared in Glaze Nation, she couldn't directly condemn them with one blow. From the letters from her Father the King, she couldn't see any problems either.
"If Mo needs it, I'll dispatch troops to go with Mo to Glaze Nation."
As for herself, forget it. Scarlet Phoenix Nation needed her. Moreover, if she loosened her grip on the little Princess a bit, it could also make the little Princess change her view of her to a certain degree... perhaps?
Anyway, her current attitude toward the little Princess was to give as much freedom as possible under the condition that the little Princess wouldn't leave her.
"Mm."
The little Princess nodded.
It seemed she really should make another trip back to Glaze Nation.
...
On the other side, Xiao Bai was sitting on a stone bench in the garden, talking with a maid.
