Chapter 671: Tear off the illusion
The last harmony of the dinner with the little princesses was lost by a problem, but for Alice, it was just a worthless aftershow, and of course sometimes when she was bored, these aftershows could still pass the time.
Well, at least it's much more interesting than those boring documents and work.
Maeve, at the dinner just now, she did confirm with her eyes that she had the possibility of being able to inherit the position of King Ochu and become the queen of Ireland, but the future is full of all kinds of changes, and it is always possible for the potential to become a reality.
Just as a dead genius is never a genius, a prince who dies in infancy can never become a king, and the future will always be the future when it does not become a reality.
There is a greater possibility than such a possibility, even if she becomes the queen of Ireland, it will be the queen under the operation of the Baltic Empire.
The more you accept now, the more tightly you will be controlled in the future, as the saying goes, free things are actually the most valuable, and when you fall into the free trap, you will want to escape and pay more.
After the dinner, after being taken back to the room by the maid, the princesses went back to bed after a little washing, and without saying a word to each other, they went about their own actions, completely ignoring the sisters around them.
After a brief conversation with Alice at that dinner tonight, they both understood one thing, that King Ochu had left them only one throne, and that now they were many.
The throne is not like an apple, something that can be cut open and shared, which is destined to be obtained by only one person, destined to exist only one victor.
In other words, only one of them can become the king of Aochu, and the others are destined to be annihilated in history, and will become the ladder of success, buried in the soil.
The clash of power has always been ruthless, in the face of power, in front of the throne, the so-called sisterhood is just a joke that is not ridiculous, for the enemies who have threats, only let them die completely, can really eliminate this threat.
After another hour or so, regular breathing sounded, and through the window, a bright moonlight shone on the floor, and the milky white moonlight looked exceptionally cold.
Alice tore away the apparent calm with casual words, and from tomorrow onwards, there will be no such sincere playfulness between sisters.
Maeve, the only one who wasn't asleep, squinted her eyes and pretended to be asleep as much as she could, she didn't know if there was anything in the room to keep an eye on them, and if she could, she imagined her sisters in a dream.
In her mind, she kept thinking about what happened at the dinner just now, not thinking about the delicious food and delicious drinks, but thinking about the playful gaze that came from somewhere during the banquet and in the communication afterward.
I don't know where it came from, in fact, in that environment, the only person who looked at her with such eyes could be that person, the woman who made them feel like a spring breeze when they communicated, and made them understand what a powerful woman is in the end.
She saw through her disguise, as if she had stripped off all her clothes, and her true essence was naked under her gaze, and she was clearly seen.
Maeve didn't know how the other party did it, and she couldn't understand why she could do what everyone on the Celtic Isles couldn't do.
In other words, is this the so-called powerful, the people of the entire Celtic Isles are just frogs at the bottom of the well, and they can't understand how grand the sky above the bottom of the well really is.
I want to be like that, no, I should say that Maeve wants to surpass that kind of person and write a history that is more gorgeous and great than that kind of person.
But can it really be done? Such a powerful person, in just a dozen years, has accomplished things that others cannot do in a lifetime, or even several generations.
In the history books, in the hidden records, even in the deeds of the gods, there is no one who has been able to do so much in such a time as the One.
Maeve rolled over, her little hand clutching the sheet beneath her, and she let go of these distant thoughts to think of something more practical.
After tonight, it is conceivable that her sisters will definitely fight each other, and as the youngest sister, she will inevitably be involved in it, and may even become the target of several sisters to fight together.
There was no way, although she had been well disguised before, disguised as a harmless picture of humans and animals, without any danger, but the preference from their father still aroused the jealousy of their sisters.
This is a very helpless thing, because she can't influence her father's attitude at all, and she even thinks that her father has not taken these things as a test to test her.
There was nothing wrong with it, and it was her ambition to be able to obtain it, to succeed her father, and to become co-lord of Ireland, as she had done with her sisters, or she would not have been like that, pretending to be when she was weak.
However, it is clear that such a disguise will not be effective after dawn, and she needs to change her usual strategy and consider whether she should be sharp enough to attract Alice's attention and use her talent to get more resources, or support, from the Baltic Empire.
However, from another point of view, this approach is actually very inappropriate, she feels that the Baltic Empire has intentions for the Celtic Isles, even if it is really as the one said, the capture of the Celtic Isles will not benefit the Baltic Empire, but will bring burdens, and she does not believe that the other party has no ambitions.
If that were the case, then it would be obvious that a mediocre Irish queen would be better controlled than a smart and powerful Irish queen.
In the case of the emergence of the Baltic Empire and the intervention in the situation in the Celtic Isles, even her father is tied to the chariot of the Empire, and cannot be autonomous, the throne of Ireland will inevitably be affected by the attitude of the Empire, and it can even be said to be decided.
In this kind of entanglement of thoughts, Maeve gradually fell asleep, after all, her body was still an ordinary little girl of a few years old, and she still couldn't resist the physical difficulties.
Eventually, the room was left with the sound of regular breathing, and then the moonlight shining on the floor faded away, and finally was replaced by a little warm sunlight.
There was a rhythmic knock at the door, and every morning the maid would wake up the little princesses at a fixed time, and after washing and eating breakfast, it would be serious study time that awaited them.
The previous simple knowledge has been taught, the etiquette that should be mastered has also been mastered, and the rest is a long time of exercise, little by little into the habits of life.
Today's lesson is about magic, and the maid will test the qualifications of several princesses in a specific way to see what kind of magic they are suitable for learning and what methods they are interested in.
Although these little princesses are more mature than ordinary children because of the environment, they still can't resist the charm of magical magic.
On the Celtic Isles, only druids, witches, bards, and priests serving the gods can cast magic, so the casters here are very high-minded, and each one is a precious resource, which is frantically scrambled by various kings.
And magic can make them powerful, just like the highness last night, strong enough to easily change the situation in the entire region.
This is also what most people think, many people only see the power of Alice's magic, but do not know that the real building of a strong country, relying on the strength of the individual can never be done.
What the little princesses didn't know was that their performance at this moment was all seen by Alice, and on the wall in front of her, there was a square made of polished crystal.
On the top of the square, the scene in that room was reflected, and the images were very clear, even the small pimples on the princesses that had appeared due to poor rest.
Alice is paying attention to them at this time, more precisely, she is paying attention to Maeve, she is very curious about Maeve's qualifications, if the other party not only has the city and the mind, but also has the power, then Ireland may be able to have some different future in the future.
As the influence of the Baltic Empire on Celtic deepened, what Maeve was thinking would indeed appear in reality, but Alice felt that even at the beginning, with the intervention of the Empire, it was one of Maeve's sisters who became the queen of Ireland, and eventually Maeve would become Maeve.
If it were Semiramis, he would definitely be able to do such a thing, even in the face of adversity with no way out, he would use the power in his hands to find the possibility of turning the tide of victory.
What Semiramis can do, Maeve can also do, although this is just a simple feeling, without any basis, but women's feelings are often extremely accurate.
"Don't have the talent to perform magic?"
The final test results shocked Alice, not only traditional wizards, witches and other spellcasters, but even druids, shamans, etc., Maeve has no talent.
Unlike her, Maeve's sisters have detected extraordinary talents, inherited from the blood of Ochu, and even in magic, they have shown surprising performances.
"Hiding your talent? Deliberately behaving like this?"
Alice was suspicious at first, but she quickly gave up this suspicion, even though she saw the shadow of Semiramis in the other party, but given the age and ability of the other party, Alice did not think that Maeve could hide it in front of her.
There is no concealment, no falsehood, so does it mean that Maeve really has no talent for magic, and if this is true, it is really the funniest joke Alice has heard in recent times.
"No, it's impossible not to have talent, let's just say that today's test didn't test her talent. ”
Alice, who couldn't believe it, made such an assertion, which was the only reason that could be used to explain it at this time.
"Your Highness, will the next classes be arranged as planned?"
The maid next to her asked in a low voice, about the study of these little princesses, it is up to these maids to make plans, and when they learn knowledge, they will subtly influence their hearts.
"No, the others will go according to your plan, and the other one named Maeve should pay a little attention and let her try to get her hands on the Rune Rune and Ogan Rune to see if she can master it. ”
Alice hesitated for a moment before speaking.
The Rune Rune is a type of magic that can only be mastered by Scandinavians in the Northlands, while the Rune of Ogan is a magic that circulates only on a small scale on the Celtic Isles.
These two kinds of magic are performed in the form of runes, which are very different from other magics, and because the core knowledge of these two types of magic is in the hands of the gods, the things that circulate in the main plane are relatively superficial, and there are not many people who are willing to learn, because the upper limit has basically been fixed.
"But Your Highness, none of us can teach the Ogan rune and the rune of Rune. ”
The maid's face showed a look of embarrassment, the runes of Rune and Ogan runes are indeed very powerful magic, but it does not mean that all people will learn and are willing to learn.
"I remember, there should be a book on the ship that records these two runes, right?"
Because Alice's hobby is to read, she always brings a library with her when she travels, so that she can read anytime and anywhere to pass the time.
Among them, because the destination this time was the Celtic Isles, she deliberately brought books about the Ogan rune, and because of the same rune, she brought books related to the Rune rune, planning to study the differences and connections between the two when she had time.
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
A look of embarrassment flashed on the maid's face, there was no way for them to teach these two kinds of knowledge, and the questions could not be answered, that is, Maeve had to take two books that were difficult for even powerful spellcasters to understand, and start from scratch to contact the Ogan rune and the rune of Rune.
"It doesn't matter if she doesn't have talent, I don't believe she just chose to give up. ”
Alice looked at the girl in the picture, who did not show any frustration, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, the runes of rune and Ogan runes are very different from other magic, and they don't attach too much importance to talent, even those Scandinavians with muscles in their heads can master it, and there is no reason why Maeve can't master it.
As the saying goes, the only thing that can stop you from growing is always yourself.
