"Grandmother, that's true.

Not only did I reunite with my old friends, but I was also pleasantly surprised. The two joys overlapped, and it was a little gaffe, so I'm sorry. ”

Princess Victoria said sincerely in an apologetic tone.

Originally, her grandmother had always taught her this - don't be glamorous, especially in business, and don't let others see your true emotions.

Whether it is smiling or scolding, they all exist for political purposes, not simply to vent their emotions.

For example, just like you should not show disgust for the person you want to kill, but instead smile warmly to make him lose his vigilance.

Today, her good mood was seen through by her grandmother from a distance of ten meters, and it was really a bit of a state of affairs.

"It doesn't matter. ”

From the mouth of Victoria I, words came out that surprised the princess a little.

"I thought about it again, you are a young woman, and if you are too mature, too much like me, it will definitely make many people more vigilant, and there will be many people who fear you from the beginning instead of loving you.

Properly exposing a few small flaws, in fact, there is no problem, but it can reassure everyone.

Those who are older will always have some understanding and contempt for young people. ”

If in the past, even a year ago, this self-respecting Grand Duchess would not have said such a thing, her words would have been absolute and correct.

Now she thought carefully about the princess, not only because of family affection, but also because she was indeed too old, and she herself felt it deeply.

Even if you take expensive potions every day, and ask the archbishop of the temple of the goddess of spring water to help alleviate aging, the effect is not as good as once.

A hole in a pocket, no matter how much water you fill it, will quickly leak out. That's how her fully aging body is, there is no salvation.

Compared to "absolutely right", she doesn't care about admitting a few of her mistakes at the moment, just to pave the way for her heir and reduce her difficulties.

Back then, because she was busy with government affairs, and she thought that she could easily enter the Kingdom of God after death and enjoy pure blessings by virtue of her identity as a descendant of the goddess of spring water, she didn't spend much time on cultivation.

Now she regrets it, if she could have worked a little harder back then, although it would be impossible to break the taboo and become a longevity king who can live for hundreds of years, at least she would have had a few more years to help her granddaughter.

However, who would have thought that one by one her sons and grandsons would be killed or die of illness, and that a fool would be executed for rebellion...... It's really stupid, if he hadn't done stupid things, he would have been the rightful heir by now!

The only remaining princesses are now finally growing, and Victoria I herself is running out of time.

Thinking of this, the old man sighed.

"Alas...... The niece of Baron Miana, I would be relieved to have half the power of her uncle.

The Valentine family is small, but it's credible, and you can use her, as long as she's not a fool.

By the way, what's the other piece of good news?"

"Charlotte told me about her new knight, who was not only brave and powerful, but also wise, and I was inspired by his remarks. ”

As she spoke, she handed a piece of paper to her grandmother.

Of course, it was not the letter written by Luo Ming himself, but the result of the princess's own polishing, expansion, refinement, and re-copying.

"Oh......" The Grand Duchess put on her glasses, observed the contents of the paper for a moment, and then immediately drew her pen from the side and made some corrections on it with red ink.

Two minutes later, she handed the paper back to the princess.

"Talented young man...... You can see if you can get your hands on him, but don't let anyone know. ”

With this outlandish remark, she ended the conversation.

However, if you consider the story of the Grand Duchess when she was young, you will know that this is true: because she hated political marriages, she and her husband did not sleep in the same bed, and they went their separate ways to have affairs, and even participated in a rebellion a few years ago, and one of the generals who was eventually killed was also her former guest of the scene.

At first, it may be simply to make up for the emptiness of her love life, but she soon discovers that it is also a good way to win people's hearts.

Just like the phenomenon of competition for favor in the ancient harem of the Celestial Empire, being able to be favored by the female grand duke is a proof of honor and trust for the nobles.

Originally, it was not uncommon to derail in this era, and it was not uncommon for her to step on a few boats, so she soon had no conscience to condemn when she did this kind of thing.

Of course, she doesn't plan to let her precious granddaughter really become a courtesan with a rotten life, and this order is just for her to try to tempt with feminine charm.

No matter what era it was, there was always a shortage of guys who could be brave and fearless because of a woman's flattering eyes, and who could die because of a kiss.

It's just this level of temptation, of course, it's a good thing to succeed, and there's no loss if it doesn't work out - at most a kiss is lost, is that what it counts?

The expression on her face remained the same, and there was no confusion in her heart, Princess Victoria simply nodded neatly and withdrew.

She's done it more than once to make many people smitten with a smile alone.

In fact, her beauty and nobility were already well-known in the principality—and this was the news that her grandmother, Victoria I, had sent to spread the word after her consent.

Next, it's time to go to the Lord Keeper of the Seals.

Even the female archduke who wants to centralize power and is arbitrary cannot really offend all the nobles in the country, and this minister who holds the seal belongs to a fig leaf.

Nominally, the decisions she made were made after consulting with several ministers, and sometimes she even deliberately invited a few "representatives of the nobility" from outside to discuss them—in fact, they were trusted, and then they were officially issued as official documents after being sealed by the Minister of the Seals.

Although Victoria I herself had a more authoritative seal and could issue legal orders on her own, she generally did not do so, just to maintain the fig leaf.

Of course, the Minister in Charge of the Seal basically has no rights except for the custody of a national seal, so he is just an echo of the royal family, and he will basically not refuse to let him seal it.

There is no need for the Grand Duchess to order it herself, the princess will go to him with this document, and he will help.

Both the princess and the grand duchess are well aware of this.
