255~ Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Scandal~
"Burp~"
Contentedly letting out a satisfied burp, the Little Princess stroked her belly.
"Fei, can you use magic?"
"No."
The young Empress shook her head.
How could she know that kind of advanced thing? Her own talent wasn't very good to begin with, and moreover, no one had guided her on how to cultivate magic. For her to become a mage was fundamentally impossible.
Never mind how much financial resources were needed to cultivate a mage, just the most basic mastery of magic power alone was difficult for her, much less cultivating proper magic.
As a mage, the most, most, most basic entry requirement was mastering magic power, being able to manipulate magic power. If even this couldn't be done, then one could only say they simply weren't suited to be a mage. Better to honestly be an ordinary person.
Her current situation was that she couldn't even master the most basic magic power......
Presumably, this Princess Mo had the royal family supporting her from behind. She must be a very powerful mage! Perhaps at this age, she had already become a Great Mage!
As for beyond Great Mage, she didn't dare imagine. That required exceptional talent as well as massive funding to cultivate.
"You can't......"
The Little Princess furrowed her brows.
In other words, the one with the highest combat power here was Maid Xiao Xi? Next was the young Empress, and only then her.
Uu......
She had subconsciously ranked herself last. After she realized this, she suddenly began thinking......
Why was her body so weak? It shouldn't be like this, right?
She always felt she had forgotten many important things, but no matter what, she couldn't remember what exactly she had forgotten.
She suddenly discovered a loophole!
"Xiao Xi, what was the day before you came to this world?"
"......"
Maid Xiao Xi hemmed and hawed for a long time without being able to say anything. For a moment, the atmosphere fell into silence.
"You don't know?"
"Sorry, Princess. After coming here, I seem to have forgotten some things......"
Forgotten some things, same as her?
Then it seemed this transmigration couldn't be done casually. During the transmigration process, some things would be forgotten.
The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt. She simply gave up thinking directly and began properly considering what she should do next.
"Um, Princess Mo?"
"Mm? What is it?"
"Can You teach me magic?"
"Magic...... I don't know any!"
"Huh?"
The young Empress froze for a moment, then her jaw nearly dropped in shock.
As Glaze Nation's princess, she actually didn't know magic? How was that possible!?
Even if talent was poor, with the royal family's support, there should at least be a mage's standard, right? At the very least, there should be the level of a Mage Apprentice, right?
"Sorry for being a waste princess who doesn't even know magic, truly sorry."
"Huh? No, um, Princess Mo, don't you have royal support?"
"No talent."
The Little Princess helplessly laid it out.
She wanted to learn magic too. But the problem was she didn't have any magical talent. She was probably the first person in the otherworld without even a shadow of magical talent.
Normal people, no matter how poor, would still have at least a tiny bit of talent. But she was different. She belonged to the kind that had absolutely none. Even with an Archmage's assistance, she couldn't sense the free-floating magic dispersed everywhere.
"In other words, you have completely no way to cultivate?"
"Right."
The Little Princess answered while propping up her chin.
Although she had no way to cultivate magic, no way to learn those cool magics, she could make guns! And moreover, she had memory beyond ordinary people... although using her brain too much made her very tired......
"What about you? Why haven't you learned magic until now? Aren't you a Scarlet Phoenix Nation royal family member?"
"I'm not. I'm just a refugee......"
"Huh?"
Got it wrong. The hentai Empress actually said she wasn't Scarlet Phoenix Nation royalty?
Calculating based on the Empress's current age, Scarlet Phoenix Nation at that time should be called the former Scarlet Phoenix Nation. But the Empress actually said she wasn't a royal family member? Then how did she later launch a coup, single-handedly push the royal internal strife, then step by step ascend to the emperor's throne?
"What's wrong, Princess Mo?"
Seeing both the Little Princess's and Maid Xiao Xi's expressions change, she thought she had said something wrong just now!
"You're a refugee?"
"Yes...... I'm a refugee who had to move out of the village due to flooding......"
"Then who is that weakest princess of former Scar... Scarlet Phoenix Nation?"
"Uh...... that's Princess Ling?"
"Huh? You're not messing with me, right?"
Even the Glaze Nation princess who was placed under house arrest by the Empress knew...... Ling was the Empress's personal maid, responsible for the trivial matters around the Empress. Yet now she was being told that Ling was the former Scarlet Phoenix Princess, while the current Empress was just a refugee......
Wasn't this too absurd? How did a refugee launch a coup and step by step ascend to the Empress position? A replica of a certain Ming Dynasty beggar emperor?
"Princess Mo?"
"Tell me about that Ling."
"Eh? Princess Mo, You don't know?"
If she remembered correctly, the relationship between Scarlet Phoenix Nation and Glaze Nation was pretty good, right? So if both were princesses, they should know each other, right?
"I......"
For a moment, the Little Princess didn't know how to explain to the Empress.
She might as well draft something in her mind and start making things up.
"Actually, I don't really have contact with the outside world, so I'm not very clear about these things. In other words, the so-called vase princess!"
Aside from her contributions to Glaze Nation policy, she really was a vase princess!
Mm......
"I see."
No wonder she hadn't really heard of Princess Mo's reputation. So she was a princess who didn't have much contact with the outside world?
"So tell me about it."
"Since Princess Mo wants to hear......"
The Empress organized her words slightly and began explaining to the Little Princess.
Scarlet Phoenix Nation, or rather the former Scarlet Phoenix Nation princess, Ling, was the fourth-born princess of the former Scarlet Phoenix Nation's thirteenth-generation king. She was also the first vase princess in former Scarlet Phoenix Nation's history to have her power completely stripped. Normally, she was basically assigned to conduct diplomacy with various countries, and had already been betrothed to the Third Prince of neighboring Penglai Nation......
"Isn't this just a political marriage tool?"
The Little Princess complained.
"Yes, Princess Ling is indeed a political marriage tool between Scarlet Phoenix Nation and Penglai Nation."
The young Empress affirmed.
"There's not much to say about Princess Ling. Normally, you simply can't see Princess Ling make any moves. It seems only that engagement caused a huge commotion."
Besides that, there was no other news. Basically, she was purely a tool princess, having only a title but no power whatsoever.
"Uu......"
She more or less understood why Ling, like the Empress, had a single-character name...... wait, that's not right! Why did the hentai Empress at this time also have a single-character name?
"What about you? Why were you being chased and killed?"
The Little Princess continued asking.
"I...... sorry, can I not say?"
The young Empress hesitated for a long time, hemming and hawing, before asking.
