After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 294

294~ Hell-Level Difficulty Blueprints~

"You. Need. To. Get. Out. Of. Bed. Right. Now!!!"

The Maid Xiao Xi pulled the Little Princess out from under the covers and fiercely grabbed her tail for a good pet.

"Yii......!!! The maid is murdering the Princess!!!"

......

......

After the commotion, the Little Princess's brain had also completely cleared up.

"Xiao Xi, do you have any plans today?"

"Yes."

"Alright then......"

Originally, she'd wanted Xiao Xi to accompany her into the city to play, to go find the Empress to cover both her and the Maid Xiao Xi with a layer of Disguise Magic, directly turning princess into commoner, to go shopping?

"Princess."

"What? If you're busy, then go be busy. I can just go play by myself......"

"My plan is to properly accompany you, my Princess!"

"Accompany me?"

"Of course. I'm your personal maid. My duty is to follow by your side and fulfill all your requests. So is there any problem with my plan today being to accompany you, Princess?"

"No, none!"

Her small face turned slightly red, but the smile simply couldn't be hidden no matter what.

It seemed after Princess emerged from her withdrawn state, her mentality had declined to a certain degree.

At least in her understanding, the Little Princess absolutely wouldn't laugh directly over this matter, at least absolutely wouldn't laugh so directly in front of others.

"Then why is Princess blushing?"

Just like a small child, writing her inner feelings completely on her face.

"I...... I'm not!?"

She clearly had no expression, okay!?

Although even she herself didn't believe these words she spoke, she still deceived herself like this.

"Princess, let's go. Aren't you planning to go out shopping?"

"Eh?"

How did this stinky Xiao Xi know what she wanted to do?

However, none of that mattered anymore. In any case, she was also too lazy to think, not planning to think about anything, just spending this day like this.

"Wait, if I go out, won't I be seen by others?"

If people saw her face, wouldn't the nation make a big fuss promoting it? She still didn't want that. She still wanted to be at ease for a period of time.

"It's alright, Princess. Regarding this point, I've already thought it through long ago."

The Maid Xiao Xi pulled out a veil from somewhere.

"Isn't this even more conspicuous!?"

Who would wear a veil when going out on the streets!? This way would actually increase the turn-back rate, right!?

"This is a 'Deception Veil.' It can let you disguise yourself as whatever appearance you want to disguise as."

"Deception Veil?"

When did Glaze Nation have this kind of thing? How did she not know?

"This was personally prepared for you by the Empress, for me to transfer into your hands, Princess."

In other words, this "Deception Veil" also came from the Empress's hand? Thinking about it this way, it actually made sense.

Since this was what the Empress gave her, then she'd just use it! Not using it would be a waste!

In any case, she was already destined to have no way to escape from the Empress's hands. She'd long since gotten used to it. Better to directly properly enjoy the convenience it brought.

That incomplete contract was still inside her body. It was just that the Empress hadn't used the contract to restrain her for a very long time.

"Then...... I'll just randomly make one!"

The Little Princess randomly imagined a face in her mind, and then...... she became the little loli maid Xiyan!

The appearance could be said to be identical. If you ignored the clothes and they stood together, absolutely no one could tell them apart.

And the effect the "Deception Veil" brought was far more than this. Even her cat ears and cat tail were covered over. Reaching to grab at the original positions could only grab empty air. But she could still feel these two things' existence, could even freely wave them around. It was just that they couldn't be seen or touched.

Wow, wow! With this "Deception Veil," wouldn't she be able to return to her previous life!? As long as she always wore the "Deception Veil"!

Sure enough, what she got from the Empress were all good things!

The Little Princess somewhat excitedly rubbed her hands together.

"The Empress said this veil needs continuous Magic Power charging to be able to continuously use."

"Is that so......"

Alright, she'd gotten her hopes up for nothing. She'd thought it didn't need Magic Power to use. If it were really like that, wouldn't she be able to go wherever she wanted?

"Let's go, Princess."

The Maid Xiao Xi extended her hand toward the Little Princess.

"Mm!"

Just like a princess taking a prince's hand, the Little Princess was abducted away by the Maid Xiao Xi just like that.

......

"......"

The Empress helplessly put down the large pile of blueprints in her hand.

Honestly, she very much wanted to thoroughly research these blueprints the Little Princess drew. Then she could also go back and directly create these things herself.

But after she picked up the blueprints and looked through them carefully, she discovered these blueprints had extremely high precision requirements for Magic Power manipulation. Even Great Archmages couldn't one hundred percent reproduce them.

Such high precision requirements, yet this was still just one of the components.

Although she as a Great Archmage could manipulate her own Magic Power at will, precision really wasn't her strong suit.

The reason she could usually achieve attacks that completely didn't harm the Little Princess was entirely because of that crystal necklace the Little Princess wore around her neck. It could deflect the magic's attack trajectory in time when her magic was about to affect the Little Princess, to the point where it couldn't harm the Little Princess.

Speaking of the true precision of magic manipulation, Cecilia was definitely much more reliable than her. Cecilia was her mentor when learning magic, the mentor who guided her from entry all the way to Great Archmage graduation!

However, she could slightly try it.

Following the blueprints, attempting to directly use magic to create the materials into the needed appearance, she discovered that no matter what, she'd definitely produce deviation in the end. And this bit of deviation also caused the parts she made to fundamentally have no way to be assembled together.

This was a handgun...... She was replicating and creating it based on the one in the Little Princess's hand, but she consistently had no way to get it right.

Exactly which step had a problem? Was it that this latch device still wasn't detailed enough?

After thinking for a bit, she still decided to start with the bullets first. This looked simplest.

But before long, she was so angry she almost directly crumpled the blueprints into a ball and tossed them out.

Why was this production rate so low!?

She knew her precision in Magic Power manipulation wasn't excellent, but the problem was she'd made over forty, yet not a single one was successful.

In a fit of anger, she simply went to look at other blueprints. She discovered that what could be tossed by the Little Princess into drawers all seemed to be those with abnormally demanding precision requirements. This kind belonged to the type where even if you had the blueprints, there was no way to make them.

Clearly, the craftsmanship completely hadn't reached this level, yet the Little Princess had forcefully designed them.

All the blueprints in this entire drawer were like this. At most, you could only look at them. Wanting to truly put them into production was fundamentally wishful thinking!

No wonder they were so casually piled in the drawer. Turned out that even if the blueprints were here, fundamentally no one could manufacture them!
