357~ In the Princess's Name... Strike!~
"Hey hey, did you hear? The Princess is actually still in Glaze City right now. That convoy that went to Jade City earlier didn't have the Princess. It was bait sent out by the Princess to probe!"
"How do you know about this kind of thing?"
"Are you not well-informed? The Princess's advance convoy was attacked when it was about to reach Jade City! That group trying to attack the Princess only realized the problem when they discovered the Princess wasn't in the carriage!"
"This matter has already spread like wildfire in Jade City! There were actually people attempting to attack the Princess. Did they forget how those who attacked the Princess back then died?"
"About this... I can't say for sure. What if the news is fake? Where did you hear this rumor?"
"This is still a rumor? This was openly posted by the Glaze Royal Family! It's already been posted on the public notice board! How could it be fake? One hundred percent true!"
Regarding this, the man beside him was still somewhat unconvinced.
Clearly, many people said they saw the Princess board the carriage at that time. How did this suddenly reverse now, telling him that was actually the Princess's advance convoy? The real Princess was still in Glaze City observing movements, precisely to lure out all these people who wanted to assassinate her?
"Also, I heard those assassins who went to assassinate the Princess had it really bad. The Princess's advance convoy was equipped with a full ten Archmages! Among the assassins who came to assassinate the Princess, there were only three Archmages. They were directly captured on the spot. I heard there was even an assassin from Magic Tower mixed in..."
"Really... then I need to go look at the public notice board first."
If the Princess had predicted this early on, then it was a divine stratagem! So easily making the other side blow their cooldowns. If it was luck... the Princess is awesome!
"Let's go. I heard today the Princess is personally giving a speech! Over at Glaze Plaza!"
"..."
...
...
"Princess Mo, they're all looking at you. Could you pay a bit more attention to your image?"
"No need. Constantly playing a princess who's wholeheartedly devoted to the country is somewhat unrealistic. At this time, having a slightly disheveled image can actually have a better effect."
"Is that so? Is that what you think, Princess Mo?"
"What do you mean 'is that what I think'? Haven't you heard in your previous life that people who are too perfect actually look very unreal and very difficult to approach?"
As a princess taking the common people route, she definitely had to pay attention to this point!
"Alright..."
In her previous life, she was just a shut-in otaku who only knew how to play stinky games. She didn't quite understand the great principles the Little Princess spoke of.
In her previous life, aside from attending classes, she just played games, then took some time out to eat and sleep. As a result, while attending class, she got attended to death. It was... quite magical!
This was called "After Sudden Death, I Unexpectedly Transmigrated to Another World and Became the World's Invincible Great Archmage?"
At least before cultivating the Empress, she indeed counted as invincible in the world.
"Ahem... Princess Mo, your shoulder strap fell..."
...
In front of everyone, wearing a slightly haggard expression, she walked onto the stage. Cecilia stood behind her, ready to take action at any time to resolve those guys who wanted to continue assassinating the Little Princess.
Although it was completely unnecessary to protect the Little Princess, the magic preserved on the crystal necklace she wore was completely sufficient to withstand a Great Archmage's full-power strike. But she still had to cooperate with the act.
It was... very annoying, pointlessly increasing her workload. Moreover, for some reason, she always felt like she had been calculated, made to have to protect the Little Princess. Her heart was somewhat irritated.
But right now, it wasn't good for her to question the Little Princess whether this was intentional.
"Dear citizens of Glaze Nation."
The Little Princess picked up the Amplification Stone and placed it before her mouth.
"Glaze Nation has gone through more than a dozen dynasties, continuously passing Glaze Nation's throne down to my Father the King's generation, allowing Glaze Nation to become a truly commercial great nation on the entire continent, allowing Glaze Nation to achieve commercial prosperity in my Father the King's generation."
"But someone now wants to break this situation, wants to drag Glaze Nation back to that border small nation of the past, making my Father the King's years of effort pulling up Glaze Nation's achievements fall short at the final step... Do you hope Glaze Nation will become that border small nation again?"
"No!"
The citizens below shouted in unison.
Glaze Nation becoming that border small nation of the past again meant everyone would suffer together.
Everyone knew what the Little Princess on stage was saying represented. They also knew the reason Glaze Nation could now become the only nation in the Eastern Region not destroyed by Scarlet Phoenix Nation was because of the Little Princess's existence...
Moreover, the reason Glaze Nation's economy could be turned around and pulled back absolutely couldn't lack the credit of their beloved Princess's various implemented policies! Making commerce gradually prosper.
"Do you want Glaze Nation's economy to regress ten years, living in that era when sometimes even filling your stomach was a problem?"
"No!"
The crowd below roared.
The reason Glaze Nation could have today's prosperity and flourishing couldn't lack the Princess personally conducting macroeconomic regulation of commerce, allowing the domestic market to remain stable long-term, and increasing external export volume, stabilizing domestic prices, making Glaze Nation as a whole, no matter how the outside world fluctuated, people could always afford daily necessities.
They had actually believed those detestable nobles' manufactured rumors before! Saying the Princess was an evil witch! Everything she did was to make Glaze Nation become a country of the rich, making all poor people get lost...
Whether the Princess was a witch or not, how could they not know? There were actually people who truly believed those detestable nobles' rhetoric and went to curse the Princess. Thinking about it now, they actually didn't go stop it back then. They truly deserved to die!
Such a Princess who wholeheartedly devoted her body to Glaze Nation was such a great existence!
"Princess, I love you!"
"Princess! You are my god!"
...
The Little Princess paused slightly. After the stage below quieted down somewhat, only then did she continue speaking:
"Now, someone wants to destroy all of Glaze Nation's achievements operating until today. Do you agree!?"
"We don't agree!!!"
Listening to the responses below the stage, the corner of the Little Princess's mouth slightly curled up.
Her emotional appeal effect was achieved. As long as there was a sufficient base of citizen support, then her goal was accomplished.
"Very good... then let reform crush those enemies who vainly attempt to obstruct Glaze Nation's developmental path! Military Police!"
"Royal Military Police, at the Princess's service at all times!"
"Arrest them! Arrest all those guys who vainly attempt to obstruct Glaze Nation's developmental path!"
"Yes! Royal Military Police! In the Princess's name... strike! Follow the Princess's orders! Arrest all the guys on the list! The charges are: treason, creating social panic, and attempting to assassinate the Princess!"
