As a royal mage, Amund couldn't remember the first time he had stepped into this glorious palace.

The smooth marble floor is lined up, the spotless floor is so clean that you can even see the corner of the old mage's eye, and the lavishly decorated crystal chandeliers are lined up, and the bright and soft lighting gives people a warm and cozy feeling. A faint aroma lingers around, bringing a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Behind him, the heavy wooden door slowly closed with a muffled sound. However, Ammond did not show the slightest nervousness, he smiled and straightened his bright red mage robe, and then walked forward to the young lady lying on the velvet sofa, and bowed his head slightly

"Your Highness."

"Hello, Amund."

Lydia lay there lazily, her eyes half-closed, looking at the old man in front of her with a smile on her face

"I summoned you in the midst of my busy schedule, and I hope you don't blame you."

"Where, Your Highness."

Amund looked up at the girl, and his gaze softened a little.

"As a member of the royal family who has served for generations, I certainly will not refuse your invitation."

"That's fine, if I delay your important trip, then I will also feel uneasy."

The girl said, slowly sitting up, white and immaculate, so perfect that it should not appear in this world, the limbs stretched out from under the tulle, and the six wings of light also slowly emerged with the girl's movements, bringing a touch of holiness to the main hall. Looking at the girl's performance, Amund smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had become accustomed to the young lady's casualness at all times, and when she had not yet succeeded to the position of Grand Duke and was still his own student, Armond had reminded her several times to be careful about her words and deeds. But for the girl, she obviously has a different opinion on this.

"Teacher Armond, my beauty is one with the beauty of this world, and it is a sin to cover up this beauty, and since I myself have not done anything unkind, wouldn't it be better to show myself upright? Since my existence can make this world more beautiful, then what reason should I refuse to show myself? ”

This is something that sounds extremely arrogant to others, but it is so natural to say it from the mouth of the girl in front of her. She was always so confident, proud not to allow anyone to guide her will.

Of course, the outside world has never evaluated this young lady much better, and words like debauchery and cruelty are the most common adjectives, but even so, the girl still went her own way, and did not take those rumors to heart at all——— perhaps because of this, she was able to achieve such remarkable success.

"So, may I ask if His Highness suddenly summoned me, is there anything wrong?"

"That's right."

The girl changed her movements, sat on the sofa, smiled and put her hands on her cheeks, and looked at the white-bearded old mage in front of her.

"The thing I asked you to do before, now the situation has changed."

"Tsui?"

Hearing this, Armond was slightly stunned, but he did not ask a question immediately, but looked at Lydia thoughtfully, waiting for the young lady to speak next. He knew very well that Lydia was not a careless person, and that though she seemed laid-back and extravagant on a fair day, she would have died a miserable death if she had been treated as a simple-minded person who had fun on instinct.

Amund still remembers an incident that happened when Lydia was twelve years old, when she had been in the position of Grand Duke for only two years and was in an unstable position, and it was at that time that the old minister, who had been the Grand Governor of the Duchy, suddenly resigned due to illness, causing the position of military power in a country to become vacant. In the eyes of many people, this is the best opportunity for him to gain power, if he can master the military power, then it means that he is likely to become the behind-the-scenes ruler of the entire Duchy of Moon, after all, Lydia was only 12 years old at the time, no matter who looks at it, he doesn't believe that a twelve-year-old girl can lead a country very well, especially in the choice of such a military and political position. Of course, at that time, there were also people who expected to take advantage of this to control Lydia, so that they could hold great power and be able to bring one of the most beautiful girls in the whole continent into the house, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and no one wants to miss such a good opportunity. …,

In the end, the contending for this position was placed on the two border commanders of the east and west. At that time, many people believed that the commander of the Western corps had a good chance of obtaining this position.

For in the years since he took office, he has led his armies to defeat and expel the foreigners who tried to invade again and again. And the commander of the Eastern Legion has not even let go of a fart for so many years. Because of this, many people think that the commander of the Western Army has worked hard, and this position is almost a certainty.

But the final result was completely unexpected by everyone, just when the two legion commanders were recalled and were about to be officially appointed as generals, Lydia, who had been silent in this turmoil, suddenly made a series of surprising decisions——— she not only directly appointed the commander of the Eastern Frontier Legion as the general, but also put the Western Frontier Legion Commander into the dungeon on the spot in the name of endangering the country.

As soon as this incident came out, everyone was in an uproar. Many people can't imagine that things have come to a 180-degree turn for a while, and for a time there are wrongdoers, protesters, and opponents, they think that although this little girl is young, she has a strong desire for power, and she is worried that the captain of the Western Legion will be high, so she took action in advance. But Lydia remained silent again in the midst of these protests ——— a month later.

A month later, the results of the interrogation surprised everyone, it turned out that the reason why the commander of the Western Frontier Army had made great achievements over the years was because he deliberately provoked those foreign attacks from time to time in order to gain promotion chips, and then killed them to obtain military merits, although because of this, the danger outside the country was eliminated a lot. But on the other hand, because of the years of conquest in the western border areas, the inhabitants of the war are miserable, although the war is fought by soldiers, but they are also suffering badly here. On the other hand, the eastern border areas have always been peaceful, and the inhabitants and the people outside the country have nothing to do, and since there is nothing to do, there is naturally no military merit to be rewarded, and it is precisely because of this that the regimental commander will always fall to the bottom of the honor list.

And until this time, Lydia, who had been wandering away from the matter and touring the mountains and rivers all day long, enjoying flowers and raising birds, finally made a move.

At the same time as the verdict of the trial was handed down, all the officers who were close to the commander of the regiment in the entire Western Frontier Legion were arrested, and those who had protested for the commander were no exception, and in just a few dozen days, a total of 580 people, including nobles and officers, were arrested and then executed.

And as soon as they were put to death on the front foot, their successors on the back foot were already sitting in their place.

It was after this that no one underestimated this scantily dressed girl who liked luxury, beauty and pleasure all day long.

And now, of course, Ammond knew what the current state of the duchy was, and because of that, Lydia would ask him to go there herself, but now she suddenly said ········. Is it because things have changed?

"You're right, Amund."

As if guessing the old mage's true intentions from the old mage's eyes, Lydia replied with a smile.

"Based on the information I've got, the danger has been lifted."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the old mage was slightly stunned, and then he frowned.

"What do you mean ............"

"This is the report I just received this morning."

Lydia said as she reached out and pushed a letter with a delicate and beautiful pattern in front of the old mage, then she picked up the fragrant black tea on the table and squinted her eyes and tasted it.

The old mage respectfully picked up the letter on the table and opened it, and then began to read the information inside, although there was no change on his face, but from the old mage's suddenly sharp eyes, you could detect his surprise. Then, he slowly put down the letter in his hand and looked at the girl in front of him again. …,

"What do you think? Amund? ”

"If it's a joke, then allow me to laugh out loud."

The old mage smiled bitterly and shook his head, but his expression was not at all like a smile.

"If this is true·········· … All I can say is incredible. ”

"The unknown is where the wonder of this world lies."

In the face of the old mage's exclamation, Lydia showed an expression of enjoyment.

"When you open a door, you never know what's behind the road, and that's the most interesting part. I really enjoy this wonderful - the unknown, it makes me nervous, excited, and for me, it's necessary. I thought my lovely subordinates would be able to handle these things, but now I didn't expect it to give me such a surprise. ”

"But ............"

The old mage didn't seem to be as optimistic as Lydia, and he touched his white beard, which had fallen to his waist, and his face was solemn.

"With all due respect, Your Highness, I still don't think that an ordinary mercenary group can easily eliminate a mage who has already stepped into the third floor of Central, even if it is me, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to do it. I don't think there's going to be any ········· in that."

"I see what you mean, Amund."

Lydia stretched out her hand slightly, interrupting the old mage's words.

"That's why I summoned you...... I believe that my lovely subordinates' report is correct, and they have brought some evidence that is enough for us to judge.

I think you've seen it too, there's a guy who ...... is at the heart of the matter. ”

"That's called Rod. Elant's young man? ”

Hearing this, the old mage pondered for a moment, and then quickly asked.

"That's right. From what information I've got, it's not the first time he's done this, saving the mercenary group in the Pafield area from danger and sabotaging their plan to infiltrate them. Coupled with the sudden hostilities between him and the Emerald Tears, and the actions of the last to eliminate the rats——— I don't think it was an accident, according to the intelligence, this young man has only been in Deep Rock City for a month, but the plan that the Land of Light has been painstakingly running for a year has been almost completely destroyed by him, I think this must be a big blow to the impatient old gentleman of the council. ”

With that, Lydia covered her mouth and chuckled.

"About his identity......... Is it true? ”

"I've asked about the Eastern Mountains, but as always, they haven't given me an answer. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that this young man is very likely to know the plan of the Land of Light, and he is here to sabotage this plan——— I don't care about his identity and origin, since he can bring me such a surprise, then I don't think he should be our enemy. ”

"So, what do you mean ......"

At this point, the old mage had vaguely guessed the reason why the young lady had summoned him.

"I hope you will be able to leave for Deep Rock City with me to observe this gentleman secretly, the literal description is far less clear and accurate than what I have seen with my own eyes, since this gentleman is willing to help the principality, then as the ruler of the principality, I must have something to respond to not be rude. And... ………”

Lydia folded her hands, a smile of naked greed and lust on her peerless face.

"I've heard that he was a beautiful man, and if that's the case, then it would be a shame not to be able to turn him into my collection, wouldn't it?" Clear
