220~ Problems~
"Your Highness Mo, time to get up and eat breakfast~"
The little loli maid Xiyan yanked open the blankets and called out.
"If you don't get up soon, the sun will be burning your butt!"
"Mmm..."
After being urged to get up, the little Princess reluctantly left her little blankets and began today's washing up.
Today was an important day. It was the day she was preparing to return to Glaze Nation for a while.
As early as yesterday, she'd already helped the Empress refine Scarlet Phoenix Nation's system. Although in most cases, she proposed the theories and then the Empress modified them as appropriate, this had also refreshed the Empress's impression of her several times.
Perhaps now in the Empress's eyes, she was an inexhaustible gold mine.
There were too few people who could propose systemic theories, and the ministers below didn't dare propose any suggestions because of her power. The little Princess was probably the only person by her side now who dared to propose suggestions and theories.
Thinking about it, that made sense. All the ministers were afraid that if they accidentally said the wrong thing, they'd lose their heads. The former emperors of Scarlet Phoenix Nation had done this quite often, having almost killed all the loyal ministers. They were probably afraid she was the same as those emperors.
After all, although the domestic citizens supported her, they were also clear about her image in other countries: decisive in killing, cold-blooded and ruthless, one of the chief culprits who caused the great chaos in the Eastern Region.
The other chief culprits were naturally the leaders among the Eighteen Alliance Nations, and the Princess of Glaze Nation was also one of them...
She didn't know when it started, but rumors had been circulating on the continent that Glaze Nation secretly provided equipment to Scarlet Phoenix Nation. Most people held a believing attitude toward this. It was the kind of thing where even jumping into the Yellow River couldn't wash it clean.
Fortunately, the final result was good. The entire Eastern Region, aside from Glaze Nation, had already been marked with a death sentence.
"Your Highness Mo, your black tea."
"Mm."
The little Princess casually picked up the black tea, took a sip, and continued scribbling in her notebook.
Before leaving Scarlet Phoenix Nation, she wanted to properly record the information she'd organized here so she could act on it when she returned to Glaze Nation.
This time, the Empress gave her an army of ten thousand people. She was this army's temporary commander. Until the Empress revoked her identity as commander, this army would completely obey her orders.
Within the army, three thousand were elite soldiers and one hundred were mages. This army's strength was absolutely sufficient to directly take down Glaze City, provided Glaze Nation didn't call in other armies for support.
With such an army, one could basically walk sideways within Glaze Nation's borders. Anyone who dared to act against this army meant opposing Scarlet Phoenix Nation. Even if ordinary people wanted to act, they'd have to weigh whether their ancestry was enough to be beheaded.
Bringing such an army into Glaze Nation, no one would dare to act. Moreover, as the temporary commander of this army, she was also the First Princess of Glaze Nation, wasn't she?
"Your Highness Mo, Her Majesty the Empress says you may depart at any time."
"Mm, understood."
The little Princess stretched lazily.
You wouldn't believe it, but these past few days, she'd lived quite comfortably. Today, she was approved by the Empress to return to Glaze Nation to handle the royal family's internal problems, so her life would become even more comfortable.
"Then let's depart."
The little Princess put away her notebook and returned it to her Magic Space Ring.
Return to Glaze Nation and see what exactly was going on.
This time going back, she also had to bring Xiao Bai along. Hopefully, there wouldn't be any problems after returning.
...
...
"Your Majesty, Her Highness Mo has already left Scarlet Phoenix Nation and is currently on the road to Glaze Nation."
"...I know. You may leave first."
"Yes."
Bang!
After Ling left, she suddenly heard a huge sound from inside the office.
Ling: "..."
Sure enough, Her Majesty had been suppressed to the limit? As soon as she learned Her Highness Mo left Scarlet Phoenix Nation, it started again...
This symptom hadn't lasted just a day or two. It was only because of the little Princess's presence that the Empress hadn't shown it. She relied almost entirely on medicine to maintain her condition.
"Red Leaf."
"Here."
"Go get some more medicine from Cecilia. Her Majesty's condition has worsened again."
"Red Leaf receives the order."
...
"Hmm hmm hmm~"
In the carriage, she couldn't help but start humming a little tune.
Thinking about how she could return to Glaze Nation again made her happy. Although she was mainly going back to resolve the royal family's internal problems, after resolving them, she could still play for a while.
There was also the Maid Xiao Xi. She hadn't seen her in a long time. She didn't know what expression she'd have when they met this time.
Her Father the King, for some reason, was currently in a completely hands-off state regarding the royal family's internal problems. As for what exactly had happened within the Glaze Nation royal family, the information she could gather was also very limited.
She hoped it wasn't some thorny problem. Like before, when someone infiltrated the royal family, that situation was relatively easy to resolve.
"Your Highness Mo! There are people blocking the road ahead! They say they have urgent matters to see you!"
"See me? Did they say where they came from?"
"No, they said you'd understand once you met them. But it looks like a merchant caravan."
"...Alright then."
Anyway, with an entire army at her disposal, plus having a cheat-like being like Xiao Bai by her side, there was no way she could be in life-threatening danger. She might as well go see.
Calling Xiao Bai and Xiyan to follow by her side, the little Princess followed this soldier to meet the person who wanted to see her. It was a merchant who appeared to be dressed very flamboyantly.
"Your Highness."
"You're... from the Luminous Moon Merchant Association?"
The little Princess was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected to encounter someone from the Luminous Moon Merchant Association on her way back to Glaze Nation!
The Luminous Moon Merchant Association, the largest merchant association in Glaze Nation, mainly engaged in commodity trade and auctions. They were also beneficiaries of her efforts to revitalize Glaze Nation's economy.
She hadn't expected that the Luminous Moon Merchant Association's people had already expanded their business to Scarlet Phoenix Nation so quickly.
"Your Highness, I heard you were returning to Glaze Nation. After hearing the news, I specifically waited for you here."
Mainly, they just happened to intersect with the little Princess's army's marching route, so they waited a while along the way.
"Is there something?"
"It's like this. Before you return to Glaze Nation, I must first tell you a bit about some of Glaze Nation's current problems."
"Problems?"
Her curiosity was immediately piqued.
If it was information provided by the Luminous Moon Merchant Association, it still had very high credibility.
"Speak. I'm listening. If what you say is true, after I return to Glaze Nation, I'll give the Luminous Moon Merchant Association a certain amount of financial investment under your name."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The merchant association's leader appeared somewhat excited, then immediately began verbally describing everything he knew.
