Chapter 6: The rise of an empire
Chapter 6: The rise of an empire
It was past midnight, but the celebration was still ongoing.
Ding, Acedia System checks that your action was not eligible for the reward. Please arrange the host's work and life reasonably.
Roger sighed, of course, my treasure chest is gone.
In the cold winter, only the breath of the divine artifact Deep Sea Heart Talisman gave him a little comfort.
Whatever, its not like there was any loss.
This artifact is really good.
Roger suddenly laughed.
He concluded that items with fewer functions are more powerful.
This Deep-Sea Heart Talisman only had one effect, increasing health and mana regeneration.
Basically, if you couldnt kill him fast enough, he would recover.
So Margaret will curse Roger, if he is caught by the enemy, he will not die with this thing.
But
Can he be caught by the enemy?
Thats impossible!
But even if she knew that she wouldn't have cared.
The next day, Angelina found Roger.
My brother, I had thought that I would arrange an official position for you after the celebration.
Although you are not smart enough, and got no magic talent, there are many jobs that only require you to work hard.
I think you have the ability, and also can do it well, because your heart is willing to help Your Majesty, right?
Dont worry, I will arrange an assistant for you who is reliable and patient.
And dont worry; even if you make a mistake, you can be an excellent minister as long as you keep trying. Commit yourself to Her Majesty the Empress!
Her voice was gentle.
Roger felt so moved until he saw the position that his sister gave him.
Mining commander?
Dam dispatcher?
The Deputy Head of Sanitation?
Grain transport Captain?
Well, these are all thankless, early-to-night jobs, and no aristocrat is willing to do them!
Sister, why must you do this to me!
He was about to vomit blood.
His sister was good, just too loyal to her Majesty.
With her character, she will keep nagging until he agrees.
She's not annoying, she is really annoying !
This situation is terrifying.
So he must think of a very subtle reason for her to accept not letting himself be an official.
He adjusted himself quickly and became extremely sincere.
Sister, you know me, I have not been very capable from childhood.
Becoming an official, any wrong move will bring loss to the empire, I dont want to damage our glorious empire, and disappoint the queen.
So I want to improve my ability, I heard that reading books can help me grow, so I should read books first!
Now that the great library of the empire has been built, it has collected books from various countries, I will head there and read for the sake of the empire!
Roger's acting is very good.
Moving from guilt to self-doubt, and finally a little cheer up
Especially when he said: For the sake of the empire! That was so moving!
Angelina never thought her brother would act like this.
She was surprised, excited, and even moved by him.
What you're saying was great! I support you! I am so happy that you can consciously work hard and realize your shortcomings.
I need to Study first before becoming an official?
To reduce the losses of the empire?
Books are the ladder of progress?
What he was thinking was so much greater than what was on her mind.
This guy had been trash since he was a kid.
But now he is determined to do one thing!
The smile on Angelina's face was beaming. Leaning on Roger, she reached out and poked his face, she jokingly said:
Has my little brother grown up? Do you want to protect your sister in the future?
Yep!
He proudly responded.
As long as you don't interrupt with me being lazy, isn't it easy to protect you?
It is!
The way of laziness was so torturous but we can finally have a bright future!
Angelina is a person that won't give up until she reaches her goal.
The simple reason is that she can't let herself give up.
Learning is a good thing. In the eyes of elders in any era, it's always right to read more books, isn't it?
Angelina was smart but Roger still fooled her.
His study time would be completely made by himself!
Everybody understands that he will just loaf around in the library for ten years.
The only problem is, the one hour way to the library , can be dangerous.
But he already had a plan about that.
Build a transmission array in the bedroom and then he can get to the library in an instant.
And when he gets tired, he can instantly go back to his bedroom to have a rest!
So perfect.
As for the transmission array, it was expensive.
To 'study hard', the transmission array is necessary so that's no problem.
Roger thought about it many times and arranged it perfectly.
Well, acedia is a flexible thing.
There is the queen and his sister.
He was uncomfortable in the middle of them!
Three days later.
The hot topic every noble in the capital was talking about, they were talking about the Marquis of La Capas, Roger Charles.
He was trusted by the queen.
He obtained a life-saving artifact.
And he had a talent nobody could see.
The man at the center of this discussion was still lamenting about the loss of his daily reward.
The fourth day.
As Roger was finished lamenting over his lost daily reward. Suddenly the Empress announced that the Seven Gods were banned from preaching in the Empire.
There is a rumor that the Queen's decision is related to Angelina.
Everyone had their own guesses.
Many of them thought that the recent celebration with Roger Charles was related to it.
"Nonsense, sister, what do you know about the gods? What does this have to do with us?"
But what he was thinking also gave him a lot of stress.
The citizens of the Empire love listening to rumors, what can he say?
So Roger's treasure chest was gone
In the morning, at the political hall in the palace.
The queen called all the ministers to discuss an important matter.
After forbidding the preaching of the Seven Gods in the Empire, the seventeen countries will rebel.
Is there any plans? For the seventeen countries to completely submit to the Empire?
the right minister Angelina said:
"Everybody wants a life of happiness. Your majesty only needs to be diligent and love the people, reduce taxes and allow the people of the 17 counties to live a rich life. One day, they will understand the strength and kindness of the Empire and naturally turn to the Empire."
After what she said, the left minister spoke again:
The empire has internal and external troubles, how can there be time for them to slowly change? I think they should be severely punished, the people of the empire should be the first class, the obedient people of the Seventeen Kingdoms should be the second class, and the rebellious people should be classified as slaves, and I also have a plan, that is to have them shave their heads if they do not obey orders, all shaved!
Two prime ministers, one benevolent and the other tyrannical, with both having supporters.
Soon there was a commotion in the hall.
The queen wanted to squash the rebellion at first.
But three years have passed. The remnants of the Seventeen Kingdoms have been opposing to her rule, and the seven leaders encouraged them, she's afraid that people who want to surrender are very few.
If she went with what Margeret was saying, she was afraid that there would be much more rebellion in the Seventeen Kingdoms.
Angelinas thoughts are like dreams and is hard to achieve.
There are many enemies, shes afraid that she cant wait such a long time
They quarreled and ended with no working plan.
The queen felt her scalp go numb. Seeing that they gradually calmed down, she could only say: "Let's end it here for now, let's continue tomorrow."
"As per your Order, Your Majesty"
All the people go except Angelina.
The queen asked her about some internal affairs.
Margaret's face darkened again.
Your Majesty likes Angelina more and more!
But Her Majesty didn't call her, she could only leave.
Angry!
The queen suddenly asked:
Angelina, what does your brother do nowadays?
He's reading for the rise of the empire, so he should be in the library.
Angelina thought of the decision made by Roger and was proud of it.
Studying for the rise of the empire? It's rare to have this sort of ambition.
The queen was surprised.
What big ambitions.
However, how can this empire rise?
She didn't ask anymore and let Angelina leave.
Because shes busy.
She began to review the memorial on the hill.
The more she criticizes, the more irritable she is.
Nothing good is happening in the empire at the moment, so she doesn't feel happy.
I need to have some fun!
Suddenly she threw the pan.
She suddenly remember what was Angelina said.
Roger? In the library?
It wouldn't be bad to look up some information and accidentally bump into Roger by chance, right?
That place is much more convenient than Charles House, and there is less gossip.
Thinking of this, she smiled.
At the same time, a portal appeared in front of her.
She stepped in.
