Whew~ Gloria let out a breath, rubbed her sore wrist, and put the pen on the shelf on the table. Seeing this, Kelly, who was standing aside, immediately stepped forward to help Gloria rub her shoulder.

"Miss, you're tired. I'll help you get a hot cocoa later. ”

Gloria closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, enjoyed Kelly's massage, and said weakly, "There are so many documents." Gloria looked at the stack of tired papers in front of her and rubbed her brow weakly.

Hearing this, Kelly complained slightly: "Miss, just leave these things to the palace ministers to deal with, why do you have to deal with them yourself?"

Gloria shook her head and said, "I've only been regent for a short time, how can those palace ministers listen to me. If it is really handed over to them and it can't be done, it may cause more trouble. After all, I have a lot of opinions. ”

With that, Gloria started again, picked up a document, and reviewed it.

Kelly looked at Gloria working so hard, and couldn't help frowning and complaining: "How strange is that Duke of Ouranos, if he doesn't make so many things, how can you suffer so much, Miss!"

"Suffering?" Hearing this, Gloria stopped her work and pouted slightly, and said with a smile: "Go and ask someone to let Duke Ouranos enter the palace, he can't be the shopkeeper and leave this mess to me."

Kelly looked at Gloria, who couldn't help laughing at the mention of Allen, frowned and said, "Miss, Duke Ouranos is not a good person, it's better not to get too close to him."

"Oh? How can you think that?" Gloria raised an eyebrow and looked at Kelly with interest.

When Kelly heard Gloria's question, she immediately said, "Miss, let's not say that the death of the first king is unclear, let's just say that the current His Majesty Edward has also been placed under house arrest by him. You say that if the Duke of Ouranos had not been involved, how could he have executed a large number of nobles when His Majesty ascended the throne? Maybe he's just waiting for an opportunity to usurp the throne!"

The more Kelly talked, the more serious it became, and in the end, even she was startled. "Yikes! Miss, what can you do if the Duke of Ouranos wants to usurp the throne?"

Listening to Kelly's words, Gloria laughed at herself: "At this point, we can only take one step at a time, who told us to send people under the fence?"

"Miss, why don't we write to the lord and ask him to bring the army to King Qin." Kelly suggested.

Gloria's eyes flashed, and she reprimanded, "Presumptuous! This kind of thing is also what you can talk about?!"

As Gloria's closest maid and the only person Gloria was close to in Ambrosi, Kelly has always been trusted by Gloria. She understands Gloria's character very well, gentleness and elegance, which are all consistent manifestations of Gloria.

And now the loud scolding is unprecedented, Kelly panicked for a while, and hurriedly defended: "Miss, I am for your good, you are now being coerced by the Duke of Ouranos, I know that you have no choice." But with the help of the master, we will definitely succeed!"

"You still say!" Gloria slapped the table and let out a loud shout. "Kelly, have you forgotten who you are!"

Facing the angry Gloria, Kelly reacted. No matter how close she is to the young lady, she is just Gloria's maid. If you dare to defy your master, then you are digging your own grave. Kelly, who came to her senses, immediately realized her mistake, and quickly knelt in front of Gloria in panic and pleaded, "Miss, I was wrong! I was confused and said something I shouldn't have said, please forgive me. ”

Looking at Kelly, who was kneeling on the ground and begging for herself, Gloria finally planned to let her go. Although Gloria understands that if Kelly's words get out, it will definitely be a big disadvantage for herself. But after all, Kelly has also been Gloria's personal maid since she was a child, and the two have a deep relationship, and if she is really punished, Gloria can't bear it. "Get up, and remember who you are."

Hearing that Gloria let herself go, Kelly immediately touched the tears that had been shed from the momentary panic and assured, "Yes, Miss." I must remember who I am. ”

Gloria let out a breath and waved her hand: "Go and inform the Duke of Ouranos to enter the palace."

"Okay, I'll go now." Kelly hurriedly carried out Gloria's orders. However, as soon as Kelly walked out of the room, Gloria's voice came from behind her.

"Also, call me Your Majesty in the future." ――

"Tell me, why did you call me over? A good nap was interrupted by you. ”

Gloria looked at the Alan in front of her, who was lying on his back on the chair, playing Hache, and did not have the grace of an aristocratic person at all, and frowned: "You are now facing Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Ammusi, I hope that His Excellency the Duke of Ouranos can always pay attention to his identity and etiquette."

Alan looked at the glancing Gloria in front of him, since she had been promoted to Her Majesty the Queen three days ago and started regent. Gloria, who was originally a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, is becoming more and more mature, and she feels like she should be impressed by the three days.

Looking at Gloria's pretended solemnity, Alan couldn't help but think about flirting again. "Then what did Her Majesty the Queen call me to do?"

Gloria said solemnly: "It's been three days now, I believe that the news here will spread throughout Ambrosia in a short time, what are your plans next, how to face those nobles' doubts?"

Alan scratched his head and thought for a while before he said solemnly, "I don't know."

Syllable! Gloria casually put down the broken pen in her hand and looked at Allen, with anger in her eyes.

"How could you not know? Are you going to share the benefits with them or do you want to go it alone? According to your character, I think you're going to have it all to yourself, right?"

Alan looked at Gloria with interest, the simple long skirt that Gloria was used to wearing had been replaced by a gorgeous court dress, and the crown on her head was shining from time to time. With Gloria's faintly furrowed brows, there is a bit of the majesty of the queen.

However, it is not enough for Allen, who can talk and laugh in the face of a king like Charles II, who has been in charge of Ambrosia for decades, and a mere Gloria is still too tender.

I saw Alan shrug his shoulders slightly, sighed and said, "I don't know why my shoulders have always been sore these two days."

"Don't say it, don't think I'm begging you." Gloria lowered her head and re-reviewed the paper, dropping a sentence without looking at Alan.

Alan didn't care, calmly took a book from the bookshelf on the side, and read it slowly. Gloria glanced at Allen, snorting and ignoring him.

The two of them just reviewed the documents one and the other read quietly, no one disturbed anyone, and the scene was surprisingly harmonious.

I don't know how long later, the calm scene was broken by a slight knock on the door. Kelly walked in with her coffee, poured a glass for Alan and Gloria, and looked at Alan secretly before leaving.

Gloria picked up her coffee, stopped what she was doing, and looked at Allen, who was already immersed in the book. Sunlight was shining right through the window, casting a golden glow on Ellen's black hair. The facial features are as clear as a carving, and the light in the eyes is inadvertently revealed, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

Gloria just looked at Allen, a little stupid. The coffee that was brought to his mouth was also fixed in his hand, and there was no sign of continuation. It wasn't until Gloria noticed that the corners of Alan's mouth were getting bigger and bigger that she reacted. hurriedly took a sip of coffee to hide his gaffe.

Alan picked up the book, looked at the sky outside the window, turned his head and said, "It's not too early, if Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I should also take my leave."

Listening to Allen's words, Gloria couldn't help but feel a little angry, did he have to put down his body and bully himself? Gloria couldn't help but think that she had been under the fence since she came to Ambrosi, and she had never controlled her own destiny, and this kind of life of drifting with the crowd made Gloria feel humiliated and powerless. Thinking about it, Gloria couldn't help but cry.

Alan looked at Gloria's aggrieved expression in surprise, and wondered if he was too much. Although she is already a queen under one person and ten thousand people, she was just an ordinary aristocratic lady three days ago. It may be a bit too much to coerce a little girl like this.

Thinking of this, Alan also felt a little guilty, so he comforted him with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, it's me who is wrong." My bad. ”

Unexpectedly, Allen's words aroused the sourness that Gloria had been feeling all along, and the tears that had been insisting on her eyes flowed down suddenly. As if trying to maintain the last shred of dignity, Gloria wiped her tears with both hands, but she couldn't finish wiping them.

Looking at Gloria crying in a panic, Alan could only secretly curse himself for death while stepping forward and handing over the handkerchief.

Seeing Gloria take the handkerchief, Alan was not good at selling it, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I don't have any thoughts about Ambrosi." I have already written to your father, and it won't be long before the army of the Falao family will come and help you keep order in the city of Ammusi. Add to that the power of the church, and you'll be able to deal with those nobles. ”

Gloria's hand paused, held back her tears, and asked with a hint of crying, "You want to leave?" When?"

Alan roughly estimated: "It's just these two days." But don't worry, I'll let Leonardo stay and wait until the Farao army's army arrives before letting him go. ”

"Why? You just walked away at such a big risk? I don't understand. Gloria regained her composure, and although the tears on her face had not yet dried, they did not delay her thoughts at all.

Alan smiled and said, "Do you all think I'm interested in this throne?" This position is not only not a goal for me, but an obstacle for me. ”

Sensing Gloria's puzzled gaze, Alan smiled and pulled out a thick stack of parchment from his arms. Alan gently opened it, revealing a map in front of Gloria's eyes.

Alan gently stroked the parchment, stared at the map with blazing eyes, and said, "This is what I found in the palace treasury. You see, our kingdom of Ammuxi is only one-tenth the size of the El continent. Even the seven countries of our continent are only half the size when counted together. ”

Alan said, gesturing at the map. "To the west of the kingdom of Rollin is a plateau called the Land of Chaos, where strange creatures are said to live, including dwarves, harpies, and orcs. And to the south of the Great Forest in the south, it is said that there is a much wider landmass. In the north, the northern snow fields of the Kingdom of Parmalat are even more unexplored places, and there may be some secrets hidden in them, and further east, no one has yet been able to reach the other side of the sea in the East China Sea of the Danone Kingdom. ”

Alan looked at this map that looked detailed, but in fact, except for the main countries in the continent, the other parts were a rough frame map, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "There are still so many fogs of war, if you don't drive them away, how can you be worthy of your own obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

Gloria asked incredulously, "What exactly is your purpose?" Where the hell are you going?"

Alan shrugged his shoulders, pointed to the sky, then pointed to the ground and said, "My journey is the stars and the sea."

As soon as he returned to the little Venus Manor, the attendants immediately informed Alan that the Lutheran priests of the church wanted to see him. Alan thought about it, and now his deal with the church has been fulfilled, and the right to protect the church has also been given. Why do you want to find yourself, could it be that the church wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge?

With a lot of questions, Alan met Luther.

Luther completed the task in the past two days, and he was really in a good mood, so he walked a lot lighter, and saw the smile on Allen's face a little more, as if the two were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Lord Duke is well, and may the Holy Light bless you."

"Hello Luther, I wonder what happened this time?" Alan asked straight to the point, not at all interested in going around in circles with Luther.

However, Luther didn't care about Allen's impoliteness, but said with a smile: "Actually, I came this time to ask the Duke for help."

When Alan heard this, he asked curiously, "What is it that even the church is not capable of?"

Luther said flatteringly: "Lord Duke, the church is not omnipotent, didn't you just help the church accomplish a great event of historical significance."

Regarding Luther's flattery, Alan shook his head and retorted: "Your Excellency the priest is wrong, it is obviously His Majesty Edward who helped you, and if it is not for His Majesty's will, I dare not make my own decisions."

"Haha, yes, yes. But thanks to the Duke's help, don't you?" Luther laughed, obviously in a good mood, even if Alan retorted, he was not angry at all.

"Tell me, then, Lutheran. Do you need me to help you explain?" Alan asked.

Luther nodded, and did not immediately say that he needed Allen's help, but asked Allen, "Lord Duke, do you know Your Excellency the Holy Maiden of the Church?" (To be continued.) )
