272~ The Former Fourth Princess of Scarlet Phoenix Nation~
Strange, too strange, strange to the point of being obviously wrong.
No matter how the online public opinion cursed and ranted, the result was that the government over there was actually indifferent? This was really too strange!
Just as the Little Princess was still curious about why the government here was so indifferent, the Empress had already begun to worry.
Had she overdone it? From the looks of it, she seemed to have accidentally changed the world in the Little Princess's memories?
Sure enough, her existence was still too excessive?
Moreover, she had done too much. She shouldn't have been so flamboyant and made things so explosive.
But what was done was done.
Now, because of this operation of hers, the entire dream had already begun showing signs of collapse. It seemed that even if she wanted to maintain it, it wasn't very realistic anymore.
The result of the entire dream collapsing would affect the Little Princess, so she had to end her own life before the collapse to avoid impacting the Little Princess.
"I think you should restrain yourself a bit."
"Mm, I know."
She indeed should restrain herself a bit. After all, she wasn't invincible all the time. All of this was achieved on the premise of having sufficient magic power.
Magic power couldn't be infinitely supplied. An entire nuclear power plant almost only filled most of her storage capacity. Of course, this might also be because it had long stopped operating, and the remaining energy was all from leftover uranium rods, plus the massive attenuation rate of the conversion magic itself.
It must be said that although weapons might not have much effect on her when she had sufficient magic power, the people of this world had already created something that could produce endless energy: nuclear power plants.
The massive energy produced through atomic fission, if this were brought back to the original world, would definitely be enough to kill all living beings below Great Archmage level.
Such a terrifying thing, she truly couldn't believe it was actually something that could be created by people without magic power.
You had to know that the Magic Circle that converted energy into magic power had an attenuation rate of nearly eighty percent.
There was no help for it. After all, it was something she had casually researched in her early years and hadn't been properly refined. Having such a high attenuation rate was perfectly normal.
"Mo."
"What now?"
"Is there anything else you want to do?"
"No."
"Really nothing?"
She didn't want the Little Princess to fail to realize everything she had once anticipated at the end of the dream, but to realize everything she was unwilling to leave undone.
Even for her, it would be impossible to construct a dream of this scale again in a short time.
"Maybe?"
"What is it?"
"Buy all my favorite waifus."
Empress: "..."
Thus, over the next several days, the Little Princess was almost either opening packages or on the way to opening packages. She had just finished unboxing one waifu when the next waifu arrived.
Besides this, she also bought many game skins, as well as things she had always craved but had no money to buy.
However, over time, she suddenly discovered that it seemed rather meaningless, just like an emperor who loved the new and tired of the old, always liking to play with fresh beauties, or unlock some brand-new positions, or venture into fields she had never touched before, or... completely different types?
Like the Empress, that hentai, who always liked to try some new, strange positions.
"Princess..."
"What's wrong?"
"I feel you've been a bit too self-indulgent these past few days."
"Really?"
It seemed she really had been. After there was nothing for her to do at the company, she had basically returned to otaku life, at most just clocking in every day.
"Okay, okay, I'll change, I'll change. Will changing work?"
"Good that you know."
......
......
......
"Lady Ling, everything is ready. Should we proceed to the next step?"
Over a month had passed in the dream, but in the real world, only about a day had passed. During this one day, the Empress's personal maid Ling, Scarlet Maid Corps Head Maid Red Leaf, and Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Great Guardian Cecilia had already arranged everything, just waiting for the Empress and Little Princess to wake up.
Everything was ready, for Her Majesty the Empress, as well as for the entire Scarlet Phoenix Nation and their Imperial Consort.
"Mm, let's wait for Her Majesty the Empress to wake up."
This conspiracy, apart from a few people, no other outsiders knew about it, including the Empress and Little Princess, as well as numerous high-ranking officials of Scarlet Phoenix Nation...
Although Scarlet Phoenix Nation's high-ranking officials were all just figureheads, with power mainly monopolized by the Empress alone, it also couldn't be ruled out that these high-ranking ministers might do something outrageous.
"Ling."
"Mm? What is it, Lady Cecilia?"
"Have you been comfortable by Fei's side these recent years?"
Suddenly being called out by Cecilia for a private conversation, and being asked such relatively private questions, Maid Ling looked around and only relaxed after confirming there were no other people.
"Comfortable. I willingly follow Her Majesty. What could there be to not be comfortable with?"
"But you don't need to force yourself too much either. When you really can't hold on, you can try resting."
"Mm, thank you for your concern, Lady Cecilia."
Cecilia looked at Ling with a complicated expression.
In fact, she had taught magic to both Ling and the Empress. She had even encountered Ling before the Empress...
She would never forget that winter over ten years ago, when the current Empress of Scarlet Phoenix Nation was shivering in the snow, about to lose all signs of life.
Perhaps it was because Ling couldn't bear to see it and saved the Empress, which allowed the achievement of today's top continental Great Archmage.
"Ling."
Just as Maid Ling was preparing to leave, Cecilia called out to her again.
"Want to go sweep some graves?"
"...Lady Cecilia, do you have nothing better to do right now?"
"Think whatever you want."
Anyway, she didn't feel anything. Now wasn't the time for grave-sweeping, not to mention the grave being swept was that of the previous dynasty's remnants.
Moreover, she originally hated the person buried beneath that cemetery, even if it was her own blood relative.
Former Fourth Princess Ling of Scarlet Phoenix Nation. This was also why she clearly wasn't a member of Scarlet Phoenix Nation's royal family, yet could possess a single-character name.
Although she was the Fourth Princess of the previous dynasty, she wasn't a remnant, but rather a hero who, together with the Empress, overthrew the rule of the former Scarlet Phoenix Nation. She was the personal maid of the current Empress of Scarlet Phoenix Nation.
As a princess of the previous dynasty, she understood the previous dynasty very well. Including the continuous search and suppression of the previous dynasty's remnants up to now, all of which had been presided over by her.
The reactionary forces within the current Scarlet Phoenix Nation's borders were mostly cultivated through the secret instigation of the previous dynasty's remnants behind the scenes.
And the reactionary forces were mainly composed of royal families or nobles from those countries that had been previously merged in, while the remnants of the former Scarlet Phoenix Nation played the role of the mastermind behind the scenes.
This Great Purge was carried out entirely without the Empress's consent, but rather was her unilateral decision.
If the Empress were to take the lead, she might really enter that mentally disturbed state again. Having finally stabilized her with medication, they couldn't continue high-intensity work and impose mental pressure on her anymore.
