335~ Cheap Father the King's Curiosity~
"Cecilia."
"Mm? What is it, Princess Mo?"
The two walked in the corridor.
"Why did you suddenly have a change of heart?"
Why did she suddenly want to help her change the future historical development trend? Hadn't she always been quite concerned about this?
"This, probably because I saw an 'opportunity' in you."
"Opportunity?"
She didn't quite understand Cecilia's meaning.
"The timeline we're in, compared to other timelines, has already deviated from the original track by a lot. Haven't you noticed, Princess Mo?"
You know what, she truly hadn't noticed anything.
She shook her head, indicating she truly hadn't discovered anything.
"It's the difference from the other timelines you've been to. Haven't you noticed? You in the other timelines have never conceived the idea of system reform..."
"Uh... really?"
Thinking carefully, it seemed that was true... On the Glaze Nations of other timelines the Empress had taken her to before, there truly didn't seem to be any traces of system reform?
"Because I saw something different in you, I think you might truly have the possibility of succeeding, becoming the only existence who could succeed after defying 'Destiny.'"
The existence of "Destiny" was rather mystical. Although it dominated everyone's fate, it also couldn't possibly truly perfectly arrange everyone's fate. Otherwise, how would breaches occur?
Just like them crossers and numerous reincarnators, if Destiny truly was omnipotent, controlling everything in the world at all times, why could they, these crossers and reincarnators, still "smuggle" into this world?
She'd always firmly believed "Destiny" wouldn't be omnipotent. Even if omnipotent, it couldn't possibly observe each and every one of them at all times.
As for what kind of existence "Destiny" exactly was, she didn't know. But what she knew was that "Destiny" wasn't an existence like a machine or AI. It was definitely an existence possessing thinking ability like humans. So among a hundred tightnesses, there must be one negligence. Therefore, it also couldn't guarantee all matters were controlled by itself.
And everything the Little Princess did was exploiting this negligence to break free from the script arranged by "Destiny."
The world was a stage, but there were always people who didn't want to proceed according to the script already set.
"Then does that mean that now, no matter what I do, you won't stop me anymore?"
"That's impossible. Matters that would threaten your life, I'd definitely still stop. Now as long as the matter doesn't threaten your life safety, I can turn a blind eye."
"Great!"
Like this, wouldn't she be able to do whatever she wanted?
At least she couldn't think of what she could do that would threaten her own life safety.
"Then Cecilia, will you help me abolish the old system and establish a new one?"
"Please allow me to refuse. I have no obligation to help you like that."
Being able to provide an example was already the greatest extent of her concession. Have her, a shut-in, worry about working for free for another nation? That was absolutely impossible!
Even if there was money, she wouldn't go. She herself was Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Great Guardian. The Empress managed money sufficiently. There'd never been any situation of not having enough money to spend. So she no longer had any concept of money.
Anyway, the Empress managed sufficiently. If she wanted to buy something, she'd directly charge it to the Empress's account. Later, if she mentioned it, naturally someone would go settle the bill for her.
Afraid she'd eat and dash? Take goods without paying? Then was her title of Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Great Guardian enough to get credit?
Moreover, the Empress had also explicitly stated externally that all her external consumption would be charged to the Scarlet Royal Family's account. And the Scarlet Royal Family only had the Empress alone. Wasn't that directly charging it to the Empress's account!
"Then... just consider I owe you a favor, okay? Please help me!"
The only person she knew from the previous life who came from the same world as her was Cecilia alone. She believed with Cecilia's intervention, the system's reform could definitely be completed, and it could greatly accelerate the speed too!
"Won't help."
Not to mention what the Little Princess could help her with, just the things the Little Princess could do, the Empress could do everything. Like those technologies and knowledge from another world, although she didn't master as much as the Little Princess because she wasn't a top student, the knowledge she actually mastered was already enough to overturn all of Scarlet Phoenix Nation...
It was just that she'd always placed her energy on researching magic and hadn't researched other things.
Theoretically speaking, she fundamentally didn't need the Little Princess to help her with anything. So there was also no need to help the Little Princess reform Glaze Nation's current system.
"Come on! Please! At worst, in the future I can unconditionally help you do one thing!"
Her future self inherited Glaze Nation's throne and was also very capable. Helping her with reforms now, no matter how you looked at it, was a guaranteed profit with no loss deal.
"No."
Cecilia continued refusing.
"Why?"
The Little Princess asked.
"No means no. There's no why."
Cecilia answered.
"Then you at least have to tell me the specific reason, right?"
"There's no reason. I just don't want to help."
"......"
Alright, this time she probably truly couldn't persuade her anymore. Then she'd also give up!
"Sigh... then I'll return to the bedroom to rest first."
"Mm, Princess Mo, take care."
......
After seeing the Little Princess off, Cecilia sighed in the corridor.
Why did her beloved Your Majesty have to find a reincarnator as a wife? Couldn't she find someone else? Worst case scenario, finding her was also acceptable!
She had to find such a wife who could be targeted by "Destiny" at any time and then die young.
Fine if she found one, but the key point was it would also implicate her together!
She didn't want to be targeted by "Destiny." She still wanted to live a bit longer.
"Miss Cecilia?"
"Mm? What is it, your nation's His Majesty?"
"Nothing. Just wanted to ask you some things."
Cecilia stopped her steps and turned around.
"Please ask."
She had nothing to do right now anyway. Answering some of Gong's questions didn't matter.
"It's about my daughter. Has she been plotting something recently? What has my daughter been hiding from me?"
"This..."
She hadn't expected Gong could actually perceive it? Shouldn't it be that according to the Little Princess's words, Gong's reactions were somewhat slow?
"This depends on whether Princess Mo is willing to tell you. Before obtaining Princess Mo's permission, I have no authority to tell you."
"Is that so..."
Standing in place silently for a while, he let Cecilia leave without making things difficult.
Since his precious daughter didn't want to tell him, then there must be reasons she couldn't speak of. He wouldn't delve deeply into it either.
What exactly was his daughter hiding from him? He truly really wanted to know, but also didn't dare open his mouth to ask, afraid he'd accidentally ruin his precious daughter's plans.
Thinking it over, he still decided to keep this matter to himself and not add trouble to his precious daughter. When she wanted to tell him, she'd naturally open her mouth to speak.
