Later, Rita and Morch went to the Mercenary Guild and brought the children back to the Duchy of Evel.

"Sister Rita, it's so beautiful here......"

"Yes~ It's so big, so beautiful......"

“……”

With the admiration one after another, Eudora looked at the noisy group of children looking around in front of her with a smile on her face, and for a while she only felt that one head was two big.

"Your Majesty, these are these?" The green tendons on her forehead were rising, and Eudora felt that she had already cultivated without taking out a knife to cut people.

"My adopted child?" Rita touched her chin and thought about it for a moment before choosing a similar answer, but as soon as the words fell, Eudora next to her suddenly had a black line on her face: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten something?" ”

"What?"

"Your current identity...... Eudora looked angry, even if she realized that her voice had attracted the attention of the group of children around her, she didn't care much at this time, "As far as identity is concerned, your every move now is in the attention of the entire Duchy of Evel, if you make any wrong decisions at will, wouldn't it disappoint the people and soldiers who follow Her Majesty?" ”

"I was negligent when you say that." Rita nodded, also realizing her mistake, "Since this is the case, let's put these children in the orphanage for the time being, but remember that you must pay attention to life, if I know that someone is difficult for them, I will go directly to you." ”

"Please rest assured that even if Her Majesty does not ask for this, I will pay attention to this." It was only then that a smile appeared on Eudora's face. Regardless of what her queen plans to do, at least she can't do such a thing now, because don't look at the Principality of Evel looking strong now, but after all, it is only on the surface, after all, it has only been recovered for a long time, and even a person who has the ability cannot make a country that has just experienced war strong in one day.

"Oh yes, and don't forget to ask a few teachers for the kids in the orphanage, all sorts of things."

"Your Majesty, is this what you are going to do?"

"It's just for the future, after all, there are too few people who can use the current Duchy of Evel, as far as I know, many capable people in the territory are unwilling to work for the palace, although I have some thoughts, but it is impossible to find them one by one, after all, it is unrealistic......"

"Is it true that Her Majesty intends to raise an heir among these children?" Eudora looked at the person in front of her lightly, with a look of "I won't be deceived by your rhetoric", and Rita was stunned for a while after hearing that, and did not defend herself, just smiled.

"Okay, I see." Eudora was a little helpless, who let her follow such a person, since it was her original choice, it is impossible to regret it now, anyway, she is tied to the thief ship in this life, "But that's fine, after all, there are so many children here, if they have experienced orthodox learning, even if they don't become successful in the future, they can be a teacher or something; And those who have learned will let them work everywhere, and they should be willing to look at them anyway. ”

"Haha, that's the reason, and the academy in the city......"

"It's ready, and now it's time to register the teachers on the side to be able to recruit students."

"That's just right, just send Claire in after a while, her current age...... I think I'm going to be twelve or thirteen years old this year, and if I go in, I'll be able to graduate in five years. ”

"Is Her Majesty planning to take that girl as her heir?" Eudora glanced at the girl who was surrounded by children not far away, of course, she didn't care much, but she was too dominant in this group of children just now, especially the temperament that was born to lead others could not be ignored in any way. And in terms of age, the youngest of the other children is five or six years old, and the oldest is less than ten years old, and Eudora thinks that the reason why Claire can develop like this is probably related to this.

"You think she's a good fit, right?"

Eudora: "......" doesn't seem to be that kind of problem, right!? And if it's the heir, give me a serious choice!

Eudora held her forehead, full of helplessness for a while, especially the feeling of wanting to scold but scolding...... It's like a B-on-the-road.

"So, has Your Majesty made a decision?" Eudora looked at the person in front of her, although she wanted to persuade her, but she also knew that it would not be of much use, so she still didn't say what she said after all.

"Hawkers, don't look at me like that, anyway, one day you will face such a choice, rather than having no choice at that time, it is better to prepare as soon as possible, and I don't just put my hope on Claire alone, this is the same as fishing and casting a wide net, you must know that hanging on a tree is not my style." Looking at the children frolicking not far away, Rita's eyes were full of tenderness at this time, which Eudora had never seen before, another side of the girl, so she was surprised and at the same time faintly understood something.

"But in my opinion, as long as the general remains the same, then Claire will definitely be the next heir in the future. Kind, decisive, tolerant...... This girl now has all these qualities that a benevolent lord should have, and all that remains is to broaden her horizons and exercise some other abilities. ”

"But Her Majesty also said that it is basically the same, if Miss Claire is she ...... in the future"

"Eudora." Rita turned to look at the person standing beside her, her face full of seriousness, "If there really is a day, then I will dispose of her with my own hands, even if it is because of the undeserved sin." ”

"Queen......" Eudora opened her mouth, not knowing what to say at this moment. What to say? Eudora didn't know, maybe she was used to seeing Rita's smile and inconsistency on weekdays, so when she faced the rare coldness of the girl, she suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was not a good person. Of course, even if she is not a good person, Udora knows that girls also have a soft side of their hearts, whether it is the abolition of slavery or the establishment of an orphanage, it reflects this side.

Therefore, people's character really can't be generalized, there is goodness and evil, and there is stubbornness and flexibility, but no matter what kind of character, it is inseparable from the evaluation of the people. And Rita does a good job of this, no matter what she does behind her back, at least she is very kind to those who support her.

"Haha, didn't it scare you." Seeing Eudora open her mouth and stunned, Rita couldn't help laughing, "But Eudora, I know what you're thinking, and I'm just doing this to dispel your worries, as for the possibility that what you said will really happen, I don't know if I can do it." ”

The palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, although the children in front of her are not born to her, but emotionally speaking, she has long regarded them as family, so if there is really such a day, there is really such a day...... Will she really be able to do it? Rita didn't know, but luckily she wasn't the kind of person who was too anxious about the future, so such a question was only hesitated for a moment and then put it behind her, anyway, it hadn't happened yet, had it? If there really is such a day, then we will talk about it then.

After a tiring day, the children were taken to an orphanage by Udora, and the kind of high-rise building with several floors, even if there was only one, was enough. As for the children, they naturally have no dissatisfaction, after all, the brand new rooms and clothes can be regarded as a great gift to them who have just experienced a life and death ordeal.

Of course, excitement is excitement, but no one has made the kind of behavior that spreads out as soon as she enters the building, but that kind of expectant look makes Eudora's scalp tingle for a while. After all, she used to be a mercenary, although she took over the relevant matters of the orphanage, but now there are no residents in the orphanage, so where has she ever had such an experience.

"So we're the first people to live here?" Claire asked, standing still and looking at Eudora.

"That's right, so I hope you'll keep an eye on the kids." Speaking of business, Eudora also suppressed the strangeness in her heart for a while, and at the same time added, "In addition, since the orphanage has only been established for a short time, although the basic system has been perfect, it has not taken things into account, especially some details, so if you find any problems in your life in the future, I hope you can record and inform me in time, and I will let someone deal with it at that time." ”

"I know, Miss Eudora, please rest assured, in fact, I and my younger siblings are already very grateful to have such a good one, although I don't want to trouble you again, but if this is to improve the system, then I will pay attention."

"That's fine, now you guys find your own rooms first, and after you have a good rest tonight, I'll come back to you tomorrow."

"Alright, Miss Eudora, please go slowly."

"Hmm."

"Then I'll lead the way." After Eudora turned to leave, the person who had been standing by since the beginning and had not spoken suddenly opened her mouth, and it was only then that Claire really noticed her.

"Are you the maid here?"

"No, to be precise, I should be considered a manager, and of course Miss Claire is right, after all, I was indeed one of Her Majesty's maids before this." Miss Maid smiled, and was full of affection for the girl in front of her who spoke carefully and politely, and was she really the one brought back by Her Majesty? Even if it's just a child, it feels good. probably knows that her queen values these children, so the maid is also very patient, and she is also very patient with the doubts of Claire and some other children.

"Does Her Majesty mean Big Sister Rita?"

"Did we see the big sister's palace before?"

"It turns out that the eldest sister is the queen...... But it's different from the adults I've met before. ”

"That's it, big sister is the best sister in the world......"

"Big Sister ......"

The gossip made Claire frown subconsciously, if it was somewhere else, she would naturally not be like this, but at this time, it was on someone else's territory, even if their eldest sister was a queen, but there were some things that could not cause trouble, so they should be avoided as much as possible. Of course, after seeing that the maid lady was not angry, Claire also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not forget to turn around and reprimand: "Give me silence!" ”

"Sister Claire......"

"Don't talk nonsense, go find my room for me now, I'll check it out later!"

"Yes!" Seeing Claire's signs of vitality, a group of children instantly responded with a rainbow and dispersed together, but no matter how they looked at their backs, they felt a little deserted and fled.
