#178 - Section 178
Time and time again during breakfast, Margaret learned many tips and tricks for managing fan circles from Roger. As an administrator, she guided the creation of abundant fan works and actively posted many exquisite magic projections from the perspective of the Left Prime Minister.
She also guided fans to upvote and reply to each other's posts, pushing everyone's posts to the homepage of the entire message board to gain more attention and increase cohesion.
Compared to other sections with free discussions and frequent quarrels, the Knights were united and single-mindedly praised the Empress. Their hobby was doing data, so they seemed particularly harmonious and friendly.
If it were the Internet era, there would be battles between fans of different idols, affecting the impression of passersby.
But in the Magician Camp, the Eternal Night Empress was the only true master of magicians.
Even if they weren't so fanatical, they wouldn't be disgusted to see beautiful pictures like "Her Majesty reviewing memorials in the front row," right?
Even the most scholarly old men have no resistance to beautiful things...
A strong and beautiful Majesty, sob sob sob, this old man's girlish heart can't be suppressed anymore, from now on I volunteer to join the Knights!
This is the development and growth process of the Knights, so smooth that I don't know how many traffic idols are envious and crying.
Margaret often had contact with the Empress and secretly took those magic projections. Coupled with loving and carefully retouched pictures, the devotion was full, and anyone could feel the care, receiving unanimous praise from everyone.
She was not only the founder of this section but also an active administrator, and gradually gained the title of "Commander."
Today, the Commander is unhappy, and the Knights are comforting her, hoping she won't fall!
Few people dare to guess that the Commander is Left Prime Minister Margaret, but the pictures she released must have been taken by important palace maids from the Maple Spirit Moon Shadow Palace, who had the opportunity to get close, right?
"That's not right, the Empress is so strong that she must know that someone is secretly recording magic images. She is spoiling her fans by not stopping it."
Some prophetic fans accidentally guessed the truth.
Little Ao is quite narcissistic most of the time. Margaret is filming herself, and she treats it as a kind of flattery, and even actively cooperates:
I am beautiful and sassy today, you must take beautiful pictures of me!
The Knights have a lot of traffic. In less than an hour, Margaret's post already had tens of thousands of likes and nearly a thousand comments, ranking among the top ten hot posts on the entire site.
With the user base of the Magician Camp, this is already very terrifying data.
It fully shows that the Eternal Night Empress's popularity radiates to Margaret's side, and the traffic is still quite considerable.
Margaret rolled around in bed, and the constantly ringing message notification sounds gradually made her feel that the world was bright again.
The light that had disappeared from her eyes returned.
These strangers, the Knights, their comfort may not be on point, but across those screens, you can feel the warmth left by those words.
There are also people who are trying and working hard to care about themselves.
Even if Her Majesty did not personally appear to encourage herself today, the spirit she left behind has cultivated such a loving Knights, and she can't lose face for her!
Rounding it up, this is Her Majesty's love for me!
Brave Mary, not afraid of difficulties, you must cheer up!
"Thank you everyone, thank you for every message, I feel like I can do it again!"
Margaret left a message to reply to everyone, proving that she had not been defeated, and ignited her fighting spirit again, muttering to herself:
"Just be best friends then. Let us prove that there is pure friendship between men and women!"
To give up Dio for a mere Roger, then I'd be at a great loss!
I, Margaret, must become Dio's most loyal, most open-minded, and most tolerant friend.
Enjoy the benefits of being a friend, and also accept the things about him that are not quite the same as ordinary people!
The little devil began to think about what attitude she should take towards Dio next, and towards Roger, who might reappear by his side:
"A relationship like theirs would not be accepted or recognized in the Empire, so they must be particularly sensitive, even inferior, and always hide it... Roger came to open the door and frankly revealed the relationship in front of me, isn't that a kind of trust?"
"I can't let down this trust! When I see them again, I must not show surprise, nor should I show excessive concern and pity. I must act as if it's commonplace, as if they are a normal and ordinary couple, and encourage them to keep going, that's what it means to be a qualified friend!"
"Um, no matter what kind of interaction I see between them, I must smile calmly, and not scream and be surprised like I did this morning. Such actions must have caused a lot of harm to Roger's heart, right?!"
Margaret empathized with others, deeply explored the fragile psychology of "minority groups," and summarized more than eighty friendship tips, hoping that she could become a good friend who treats the "DioRoger couple" equally.
Of course, her heart was bleeding when she wrote down these tips.
This is equivalent to giving up one's first love for the sake of lasting friendship, returning to the position of a friend, and then wishing them a happy marriage and having children early...
Oh right, they are infinitely good, but they can't have children.
This point must be avoided in the future, so as not to touch on sad things.
Take notes, take notes!
And in order to avoid her panic when they meet again, Margaret used magic to construct images of Dio and Roger, and then arranged for them to have various exchanges and interactions based on some scenes she knew.
Her heart hurts a lot.
But the pain, the pain, she got used to it!
She even thought these images... looked great?
Just smile when we meet again!
From today onwards, I am the open-minded, gentle, and understanding Margaret!
...
...
Commercial district, Dio's house.
Roger slept until late in the morning before waking up naturally.
"You're awake?" He saw the Eternal Night Empress looking at him with a gratified expression. "The surgery was very successful, you are a girl now!"
"???"
Roger was so shocked that a series of muscles contracted.
But then he realized that the spear was still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
This Majesty was just joking, and didn't really do any crazy biological modification surgery.
"Hmph, come and have lunch."
The Eternal Night Empress glared at him rather resentfully, and did not dwell on this topic, walking gracefully towards the restaurant.
The Empress, who did not know the truth, was actually saying with that glance, you are so cowardly, it's useless to keep that thing, why not just be a girl.
But Roger's focus was on, lunch?
The big-headed guy has no traces of opening the door, nor fluctuations of teleportation magic, indicating that no one has entered this room.
He had been sleeping all the time. In other words, the Eternal Night Empress made him lunch?
Although she had prepared some snacks last night, but at the asset office, Roger was making cocktails, and it was normal for her to correspondingly undertake some cooking operations.
But to specially prepare lunch while he was sleeping, this is a bit interesting...
She wouldn't be deliberately making dark cuisine to see him make a fool of himself because he left her sleeping on the sofa yesterday, would she?
A certain Empress who wanted to show her wifely power: Tai Sheng said, to control a man's heart, you must first control his stomach.
Moreover, I have been practicing cooking with my heart, and I will never make dark cuisine in my life, okay?
Roger got up worriedly, simply washed up, and then walked towards the restaurant.
Then he enjoyed a table of dishes that could not be compared to the system's god-level skills, but were full of color, aroma, and taste, and were better than most restaurants in the City of Mysteries.
This made Roger quite uneasy.
Because his sleep quality was good and he slept enough, Roger's mental power had recovered to the lower limit for regional broadcasting, so his doubts were also broadcast to the Eternal Night Empress.
[It's actually quite delicious, is she really not taking the opportunity to retaliate against herself? Could there be any hidden traps in the combination of these ingredients?]
He carefully picked up vegetables throughout the whole process, suspiciously chewing, and hesitantly swallowing, almost making the Eternal Night Empress's nose crooked.
She couldn't sleep because she was upset, and got bored lying down and busied herself for a long time, enduring not to use a few magics along the way, at least it could be considered 60% degree of personally cooking, it was full of heart, okay?
And it was still this guy's favorite "Chinese cuisine," how considerate?
And also respected his strange habits, the tableware placed was the two bamboo sticks called "chopsticks," did she know that she had practiced for a long time?
As a result, she was now suspected of poisoning him, there was no one more wronged than her in the world!
"It seems that my cooking skills are not good, I'm making Roger love me feel wronged, I'd better eat these myself."
The Eternal Night Empress raised her hand and set up a magic barrier, isolating Roger from the table.
Except for the rice in his hand, he couldn't touch a single dish.
Roger's expression suddenly became awkward, realizing that he seemed to have overreacted, did he seem to have hurt Her Majesty?
He quickly said: "Your Majesty, your cooking skills are not to say amazing, but they are also rare in the world, how could I possibly feel wronged?"
"Heh."
"You don't let me eat, only let me watch, that's the real grievance."
"Serves you right."
"If you eat so much, you will get fat, why don't I help you share the pressure?"
"Get fat, did you eat your rice?"
The Eternal Night Empress slammed the chopsticks in anger. Getting fat is a woman's taboo, was she being disliked?
Roger nodded and smiled: "Unfortunately, Your Majesty, what you are eating now is really my rice."
"..."
The range of the magic barrier expanded, and Roger was directly driven out of the restaurant by someone who was embarrassed and angry.
Chapter 156 Can't the Empress Have a Vacation?
In the end, Roger still got to eat lunch.
After all, the Eternal Night Empress had been busy for a long time, just to prepare it for him. If the person in question didn't eat it, she would feel that she had wasted her effort...
Isn't cooking more fun than magic research?
However, the barrier still existed, this time prohibiting him from leaving the restaurant.
A certain empress who was serving as a cook for the first time in her life, also had no awareness of smiling service at all:
"Don't leave a single bit, eat it all for me, and then get fat!"
Obviously, she was still holding a grudge for being called "fat."
This caused her to not dare to eat much of the food she made herself, and in the end, a full 80% of the food was placed in front of Roger.
Then, she stared at him eating.
This table, although it didn't reach a lethal dose, it would definitely be very full for a period of time after eating it.
"Your Majesty, you have already skipped the cabinet meeting, don't you need to seize the time to handle government affairs?" Roger kindly reminded, which was also a polite way of asking her to leave.
The Eternal Night Empress responded with a smile: "Thanks to the efforts of all my beloved ministers, the empire's situation is very good, and all aspects have entered the right track. I have given myself a week's vacation."
"This, you are the emperor, can you still take vacations?" Roger showed an envious look.
"I am the emperor, can't I give myself a vacation?" The Eternal Night Empress asked back, slamming the table, and said very boldly, "As long as I am willing, even if I never go to court, no one would dare to say an extra word!"
The Eternal Night Empress's words were not bragging.
She now has all the military and political power of the empire in her hands. If she wants to make big moves, she may be voted back by the parliament, but who can control her hanging up the blood fountain?
In the past, there was still "public opinion," and she cared a lot about the nobles' whining.
But now the noble class itself is half-buried in the soil, and the only newspaper, "Long Live the Queen," is still official media.
I, the Empress, am free!
And there really hasn't been anything particularly big in the empire recently. It wouldn't delay anything for her to rest for a few days.
The rebellion of the seventeen countries has been quelled, the people's hearts are with the empire, and the new administrative divisions are being rolled out step by step. Whether it is reasonable still needs to be tested in practice;
The Beastman Kingdom has just been established, the Heavenly Bright Army has been wiped out, and there are no obvious enemies inside or outside the empire for the time being;
The various researches of the Secret Law Society have been arranged, and the results still need to wait for time;
The proxy war of the Mermaid Sea Country will not start immediately, and Crown Prince Shark's control over the country is a bit poor;
The empire is facing the pressure of the Seven Gods, but the Seven Gods will not come immediately...
