Of course, there are many speculations about the eldest princess, but these speculations cannot make Ariel have much favorable impression of the eldest princess.

Think about that day in the guild championship battle mission to hunt down bandits, the eldest princess ignored the lives of other people and opened her mouth to kill irrelevant people.

Think about her unruly and willful character, and her attitude of not caring about the safety of anyone else except Dak.

And just now, I had this thought that I was going to die just because of a little jealousy.

Perhaps Ariel has been persuading herself to remain objective as much as possible. Even if the other person is a royal family, she cannot kill her with one shot. She must consider the impact of the other person's origin and daily environment on her, but this kind of disgust spreads from the bottom of her heart.

This feeling still makes Ariel not like this princess very much.

This kind of dislike even made her want to interfere in the relationship between Dak and the eldest princess... No, no, you can't do this kind of thing. She is not a mother, and she can't just interfere with her subordinates.

Emotional matters.

While Ariel was thinking wildly, Princess Rummy took Ariel up the stairs, and finally came to the meeting office where she had been before.

When the maid opened the door, Rummy stretched out her hand and pointed inside and said, "Just wait here for a while. I'll go find my brother and remind him to come and see you."

The smile on Ariel's face became even more joyful. She saluted the eldest princess again and said with a smile: "In that case, please trouble your highness the eldest princess."

As Sweet Cheese left, Ariel also walked into the meeting hall.

While waiting, she walked to the desk boredly and took a brief look at the various documents placed on it.

It was a large pile of working documents related to various tax laws and internal affairs. In order to avoid suspicion, Ariel did not dare to look further, so she could only quickly retract her sight and continue to wander around the entire room.

After looking around for a moment, her eyes fell on the sofa over there.

That's a complete set of living room sofas.

It is conceivable that your emperor is not always putting on airs, right? If you meet some close people or talk about some lighter topics, there is no need to look at me across the desk.

Look at you. The emperor and his ministers could sit on both sides of these sofas as equals, chatting and laughing.

Just like when he had asked for the promise more than three years ago, the late emperor and Duke Jinguo sat on the sofa in the Duke's Mansion, chatting and laughing like old friends for a while, and then decided their fate...

So, after seeing these sofas, Ariel couldn't help but gulped, and somehow she was allowed to walk over. After observing them for a while, she felt relieved and finally sat down on one of the sofas.

So soft~~

This soft feeling doesn't seem to come from under my butt, but from deep inside my heart.

I, once a maid, can now sit on the leisure sofa in the desk of the current emperor! Moreover, I am not sitting here as a "reward", but as a "discussing member"

!

This feeling... is indeed a bit refreshing!

Squeak——

However, before Ariel could taste this refreshing feeling, the door opened with a creak.

Ariel quickly wanted to stand up, but the person who came in still saw her sitting on the sofa.

What made Ariel a little surprised was that the person who came in was not the emperor, but the prince and her lover - Tide Blue.

Seeing that it was a tidal wave, Ariel's initial feeling of panic subsided a lot.

She was stunned for a moment, but after pausing for less than a second, she slowly stood up, clasped her hands in front of her, and smiled.

Of course, Tide Tide was also aware of Ariel's current pause. Just this small movement seemed to touch some of the prince's feelings. He snorted and said, "See, it's not your royal brother who's coming. Are you really?"

Are you quite disappointed?"

Ariel didn't speak, just kept the smile on her face.

Tide closed the door with his backhand and walked slowly in front of Ariel. After pondering for a moment, he lowered his head and glanced at Ariel's knees and said——

"Why don't you kneel down when you see me."

Ariel was slightly surprised by this request. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Your Highness, I am not your maid now."

"You still dare to talk back to me?! Believe it or not, I will tear off your eloquent mouth right away!"

Suddenly, Chaide's attitude towards Ariel seemed a little irritated. He walked to the sofa in front of Ariel and sat down, snorting coldly——

"Ariel Garcia, the emperor gave you the title of nobility and made you a baron. Do you really think you are developed? Do you really think you are no longer the maid you used to be?"

"Then I'm here to tell you that in my eyes, you will always be a humble maid. You should always serve me and serve me, and you are not allowed to have any dissatisfaction with me! Do these principles mean to that guy Jin Guo?

Didn't the mansion teach you servants?" Now, the door is closed.

Ariel glanced at the door and listened carefully outside. After confirming that there were no footsteps outside, her slightly saluted body began to straighten and she continued to say with that gentle and gentle smile——

"Your Highness, let me report to you again. I am already a noble recognized by your Majesty. I am not a commoner, let alone an untouchable. Commoners and untouchables need to pay a big courtesy when they see nobles, but I am already a noble, even if it is just a small

Baron, but I only need to perform normal etiquette after seeing you. Moreover, you are not His Majesty the Emperor, and this is not a very formal occasion. According to the principle of "live a simple and polite life", I do not treat you right now.

Disrespectful place."

Although Ariel was smiling now, her tone was definitely not gentle.

Hearing such a response, Chao Xiang did not get angry, but instead laughed as if he was amused.

He sat on the sofa, crossed one leg and said slowly——

"What a sharp little mouth. What kind of lipstick did you put on today? Does it taste sweet? I really want to know, Alice's lips taste very soft. Will your lips be like another one?

What kind of taste? Will it be very elastic?"

Ariel was startled, and she involuntarily took half a step back.

Seeing Ariel retreating like this, Chaide knew that he had a slight psychological advantage. He snorted again and said: "Here, you tell me the rules? Haha, I think you are really free.

It's been so long that you've almost forgotten who you are."

"Let me tell you again now, in my eyes, you are just a maid! No matter how much you want to deny this, no matter how much status you have acquired, you are just a woman and a humble servant."

"As a servant, and I as your master, you should stand when I am sitting, you should kneel when I am standing, and you should squat when I am lying down. This is the most simple thing.

The truth is a fact that will never change. I hope you can always remember this! Don’t think that you can do whatever you want in front of me with Alice’s support. Let me tell you, if you don’t think you can still let me

If Alice were happy, I would have killed you without a burial!"

A biting coldness crawled up Ariel's back unconsciously.

Although she could only feel her weakness in general in the past, now that she was alone in the palace, she really felt that this powerlessness was beyond the sky!

At this moment, she even began to swear secretly in her heart... If there is another chance in the future, she will never make such a stupid decision again and come to the palace alone!

Now, the air in the office seemed a bit stagnant. Ariel let out a breath and thought about what kind of expression she should use to face the prince now.

And Chao Tide is now looking up and down at his unacquired "mistress" with eyes as if appreciating a work of art that is about to be acquired, and he doesn't know what he is planning in his eyes.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open again.

And this time, the person who walked in was finally no one else, but the person Ariel had to meet this time, the current supreme ruler of the Blue Bay Empire, the Thirteenth Emperor of Blue Bay - Menglang·Bilan.

At this moment, Meng Lang was wearing a slightly casual wool knitted slim white top and a pair of straight white trousers.

Compared with a year ago, Meng Lang is no longer the crown prince, but a serious emperor. When he walks, you can see a completely different sense of confidence and power from last year. His steps look strong.

He was powerful, and his eyebrows were filled with ambition, as if he had a good wish to change the entire country in one breath.

There's just one more thing. Compared with the Crown Prince who seemed slightly more tolerant last year, the current Emperor seems to have a vague anger hidden between his eyebrows. He... is angry because of something right now? It's just that he is still angry now.

In the forbearance, it did not break out.

Entering the office, Meng Lang glanced at his brother sitting on the sofa and Ariel standing next to him. His always tense face seemed to relax a little, and he walked straight to the sofa and said with a smile: "

Ariel, are you here? Sit down, sit down first! We are all a family, why are you so polite?"

Ariel was currently saluting her emperor. After hearing the familiar sound of fierce waves, she breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this tone was still the same as that of the crown prince she knew. Then she glanced at the tide on the opposite side.

, sit down on the sofa.

As the maids closed the door, Menglang also sat down on another sofa and said with a smile: "Have you been tired for the long journey? I heard that you helped Alice deliver the baby yesterday? Tide, your women are each other

Such friendship between us is your blessing! Hahaha, I'm a little envious of you brat!"

After the fierce waves came in, Tide also changed the arrogant expression on his face and said in a slightly joking tone: "Brother Emperor, you can't let the Emperor's Wife know what you said! Otherwise~~~you won't be able to eat it."

Let’s go!”

"You kid! Hahaha."

Menglang pushed his brother's head, laughed twice, then turned around and said to Ariel in front of him -

"Oh... In this season when there are so many troublesome things, being able to see you coming gives me some peace of mind. Ariel, first of all, I want to praise you! Regarding the matters in Marginal Province and Pelican City, I

I heard, you are really amazing~~~!"

Meng Lang clearly used an accent in the last sentence, and you could tell that when he talked about Pelican City, Meng Lang's mood suddenly became high.

Ariel smiled, bowed her head slightly on the sofa, and said, "This is also thanks to His Majesty's support. Without His Majesty's such strong support at the beginning of the year, I believe Pelican City would not be able to achieve this level."

Menglang laughed again and said: "You did a good job, you can even say you did a very good job! I just wanted to give it a try at first, but from what the spies I sent out told me,

The elemental machine can not only completely replace magic, but even go beyond it! Have you released the economic indicators of Pelican City this year?"

Ariel nodded slightly, took out a scroll from her arms, handed it over respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, this is Pelican City's financial statement for the last tax year. I took over in June this year

I am the mayor of Pelican City, so the previous taxes were not done by me."
