Cloud Thinking

On the day she combed Lydia's hair, she took the time to review the contents of the image stone.

She followed the original plot and compared it with what she experienced after traveling through time, and discovered a very important piece of information.

She didn't seem to be like the original owner, who was forced to follow the so-called original plot.

Even the system, which was three years late, did not force her to correct the plot and go back to the old path because the world was in chaos.

Instead, personalized tasks are formulated based on her activities in this world and in coordination with her actions.

This is enough to show that she has a very high degree of freedom in this world.

In addition, the identity of the body she traveled through was special, so she had almost no restrictions and could do whatever she wanted.

She wanted to learn magic, so she went to Carter's College smoothly.

She was injured, so she went to Sutter to recuperate, and she also reconciled with the Antonio family and received their help.

She was accidentally involved in the war, killed a dragon without knowing why, and was posthumously awarded the title of Dragon Slayer.

He was also awarded the title of major general and officially joined the competition for succession.

All of these would have been absolutely impossible to happen in the previous life.

To be more precise, this is not allowed by the so-called world will, the author who created this world.

How can a woman be in power?

The direct reason why the original owner could not escape death was that she poisoned Starley.

But the fundamental reason was that she wanted to be in power, but Claude would not allow it.

But the problem is, judging from the current situation, Claude is not afraid of Helia at all.

On the contrary, it was he who took the initiative to let Helia participate in power.

It was he who gave Helia power and recognized her as one of the heirs to the empire.

He acknowledged that Helia had the ability and qualifications to compete for the throne, and against all odds, he generously granted her the qualification.

He didn't care at all whether the future leader of the empire was a man or a woman.

What he cares more about is who is more capable and talented and can lead the empire to the top.

This is Claude! The king who only cares about the interests of the empire!

Therefore, the reason why the original owner died was not because of Claude, nor because of Starley.

It was because she touched the bottom line of the world's will. It was the so-called Lord of Creation who wanted her to die!

He constructed a story that seemed to be about a heroine, a pure and pitiful little white flower, who, through her own efforts, gained her happiness and embarked on a wonderful life.

What a perfect heroine drama!

But if you look carefully, you can perceive between the lines the deep-rooted and unshakable patriarchal thinking of the Creator.

In His view, the highest position a woman could aspire to was to be the queen of a country, so Starley became the queen of the Turton dynasty.

In His view, women’s ultimate purpose is to get married and take care of their husbands and children.

A woman's happiness depends on the man she marries, so He chose the best man, Adwin, for Starly.

He chose the best man for her, thinking that this would give her the best happiness.

But Starley's final outcome speaks for itself.

However, when this world leaves His control and returns to its original order, what a woman can seek in it is no longer just a man to rely on or a husband's family to spend the rest of her life with.

There is also money, status and power.

Helia can be a princess, a queen, or even a king.

Even though it is extremely difficult to get to this position and keep it, it is not completely impossible.

But in the world where the original owner lives, in that world shrouded by the author's will, this is impossible.

Once similar behavior is discovered, the person will be condemned to death.

This made Helia feel a little funny.

A novel written by a modern person living in a world of freedom and equality reflects ideas and concepts that are even more closed and backward than the ideas of an emperor in a world with underdeveloped productivity and a feudal monarchy.

Isn't this funny?

From this, Helia derived an important message, which was——

This time, the so-called world will, the power representing the God of Creation, disappeared, or was suppressed.

He no longer has control over this world.

The world has finally returned to the track it should be on and can finally develop freely.

Therefore, the current plot will show such a wild growth trend.

All the characters have changed drastically and no longer follow the original plot.

This is the life they were supposed to have.

Rather than living a life where one is forced, controlled and against one's will.

So how is this done?

Could it be related to what Order did before the end of the world?

It felt like a great price must have been paid to wipe out the influence of the Creator, turn back time, and bring a modern person like her here...

Thinking of this, Helia suddenly realized that the power of the God of Order was simply unfathomable!

How could he accomplish such a big thing quietly?

With such an awesome guy as her backer, Helia felt inexplicably relieved.

Anyway, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. I think the gods above will be more worried about the fate of this world and the development of reality than her.

Then why is she so worried about the future...

Just live your own life well first.

After Xianyu has enlightened himself, he should start to lie down beautifully~

(Although she had a feeling that she would not be able to lie down, she certainly could not roll up.

Just like math, if you don’t know how to do it, you still won’t know how to do it even if you force yourself to do it.

If you force me to do this or that, I just can't do it. I can't do it even if you force me to death.)

Helia did feel guilty about Ansel. He had done nothing wrong. In fact, he did everything very well.

He respected Helia's ideas and her choices, and played the role of a caring and thoughtful person by her side, working hard and never complaining, but she had that attitude...

It's almost the same as a heartless man who pulls out his penis.

You can't pick up the bowl to eat and then put it down to curse. That's too unkind.

Moreover, it does not conform to Helia's sustainable utilization and wool-pulling (crossed out) employment philosophy.

So afterwards, before leaving, she found a time alone to apologize to him——

"I was indeed agitated by the contents of the Image Stone. I was somewhat out of control..."

"I'm sorry. What I said and did hurt you and also tore down your room. I will compensate you accordingly."

Helia was too embarrassed to look Ansel in the eye, feeling like she would explode if she looked any longer, so she lowered her head and briefly explained the reason to him.

"Haha!" Ansel saw that she looked awkward, and thought that it was because the proud little princess rarely bowed her head to apologize to others, so he thought she was really cute.

The dissatisfaction and boredom accumulated in my heart disappeared in an instant.

He bent down and tried to look at Helia's face, but Helia kept hiding her face, so he could do nothing about it.

"Little princess, as I said before, this castle was designed with you as the hostess."

"In a sense, you have half the control over this castle."

"Then why are you still arguing about whether to compensate or not when you're making trouble in your own home?"

"But I accept the apology. I am indeed hurt by you."

Helia glanced over and found that Ansel was really pretending to be heartbroken.

At first glance, the guilt and pity in her heart disappeared immediately.

I almost forgot that this guy is just like me, a guy who shines with a little sunshine and starts a dyeing factory with a little color.

After confirming that Ansel had calmed down, Helia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she couldn't lose Ansel's help for the time being.

And she really didn't know much about him.

The guy who is called a tyrant and a bloody lord by others is definitely not a good-tempered person.

She was able to act so arrogantly here just by relying on her status and the other party's inexplicable love for her.

"I'll be leaving soon. If you miss me, you can write to me. I'll read it and I'll find time to reply to you."

She was a little embarrassed when she said this.

It's not that she feels embarrassed like a young girl in love, but rather that she feels embarrassed like she has pulled too much wool from a sheep.

"Maybe I can still go meet you, right?"

Ansel was in a good mood, and seeing that Helia did not reject or resist, he moved a little closer.

"I don't recommend you to come here secretly. After all, I don't know what my father's attitude towards you is." Helia joked, "You can't be sure that he will get angry and -"

She made a motion of wiping her neck.

Ansel was amused by her. "Of course, I will go to see you openly and honorably."

The two soon fell into awkward silence again.

Obviously, she didn't think there was anything wrong before, but now, Helia inexplicably felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little stiff, not as relaxed and cheerful as before.

Am I suffering from androphobia???

Before coming here, she was just afraid of marriage and having children, but she still looks forward to falling in love. If she is afraid of men...

It's over! She won't be single forever!

Or try to get a girlfriend... ?

She's not that straight anyway...

Ansel noticed that Helia was a little uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to bring up something else:

"I didn't kill all of those pagans. I left you one with honest hands and feet. You can take him back and report to the emperor."

"Of course, if you have time, you can walk slower on the road and let others see how powerful our imperial princess is."

Helia didn't expect Ansel to be so thoughtful.

She remembered that she had asked the other party to kill all those pagans, but she didn't think about how to report back.

Everyone is dead, and everyone else has seen it, so the matter is over.

And the matter of pagans itself is not the point. The most important purpose of Helia's trip is to find out Wisdom's intentions.

Then she met her fellow villager, Tang Yaoxing, who had already become a messenger of God.

The two exchanged information, and she finally gained a better understanding of her situation.

Then he discovered a secret experiment and destroyed the experimental subject in one fell swoop, doing a great thing.

Afterwards, he learned about the plot beyond the original ending from the video stone left to him by Tang Yaoxing, which made him even more desperate.

Whether it is the experimental subjects or the future crises, these are far more important than the little pagans, and they are also what she needs to discuss with Claude in detail.

But Ansel's move was clearly intended to build momentum for Helia.

He wanted to help Helia spread her reputation, let everyone know what Helia had done for everyone in her position, and help Helia improve her reputation among the people of the empire.

Tsk! Could he be trying to help me win the position of heir... Helia thought.

She raised her eyebrows. Although she didn't say anything, the look she gave Ansel said it all.

What the hell are you trying to do?

"I just feel that the world has misunderstood you too deeply, and I want to help you restore some of your reputation." Ansel said with a smile.

Helia smiled, took a step forward, hooked her hand around Ansel's collar, and pulled him over without much effort.

"But a villain princess is a better match for a bloody lord like you, isn't it?"

Although Helia intended to get closer, Ansel, thinking of the huge contrast between Helia and her that night, did not go any further out of respect, maintaining an ambiguous but restrained distance.

"But I think your father and brother might not like a bad guy like me..." Ansel's voice was full of tea flavor as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I changed my ways to be worthy of you~"

Helia: I guess you didn't become a good girl, but went to another place for further studies. Otherwise, why do you smell like tea...

They were released after they changed their ways, but you were put in jail after you changed your ways...

Helia was very close to him, so she naturally saw the restraint in his eyes, raised her lips in satisfaction, and let go of his hand.

"I'm afraid I'll need to go to the Southern Continent later. I wonder if our great leader would be willing to sacrifice your precious time and accompany me?" she said.

When Ansel heard the word "Southern Continent", he immediately frowned and did not nod in agreement as Helia had imagined.

"Why does the little princess want to go to the Southern Continent?" Ansel asked.

After saying this, he was worried that Helia might misunderstand him, so he added, "The southern continent is in a very chaotic situation right now. Even I don't dare to live there permanently."

"I don't recommend you go because of concerns for your safety."

Helia did not answer his question, but asked instead: "I always forgot to ask, are you from the South Continent or the North Continent?"

"In terms of bloodline, I am from the Northern Continent, but I grew up in the Southern Continent. It was not until I took over Tasley that I moved to the Northern Continent to settle down," Ansel replied.

"I thought you were from the Southern Continent."

"After all, the people of the Southern Continent do not recognize the Empire, but they are willing to recognize Tasley and you." Helia turned sideways and looked at the bookshelf beside her.

Ansel couldn't see her expression, nor could he guess what she meant.

After all, Helia is from the Abrahamic royal family. She represents the empire and will definitely stand on Claude's side.

Then how could she allow a second king to appear in the empire?

She should have been wary of Ansel, suspicious of his loyalty and his ambitions.

"It's not that I can't go with you," Ansel said.

He stepped forward, took down the book on which Helia's eyes had rested, and handed it to her.

"Perhaps only by seeing it with my own eyes can I understand why they made such a choice and why I was recognized by them."

"I don't think I've done very well, but, you know, there is no harm without comparison."

"I just need to do a little more than the Empire, to have a little more conscience and humanity than the Empire..."

"You can gain their loyalty."
