Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Bella quickly closed her mouth and looked over.

Lilith was too tired. Even though the God's Blessed One healed her wounds, it could not wipe away her fatigue. These days, she had been traveling in the open air every day and had a big fight with the harpy. Now, she suddenly returned to her warm home. As soon as she lay on the soft bed, she could not hold on for more than a few words and fell into a deep sleep.

Bella carefully helped Lilith adjust her head, and the cute snoring finally stopped, and only the young lady's breathing in her sleep could be heard.

"Ms. Lilith..." Bella saw that Lilith was already asleep, so she lay back and looked at the ceiling, whispering to herself in a low voice -

"I finally understand now... why did you ask me in the first place? Do I want to be a maid for the rest of my life?"

She couldn't help but smile in the candlelight, "Although I have to run around every day and deal with a lot of people, it's not as comfortable as before at home...

But as the workshop was built day by day, our business was getting better and better, I became more and more proficient in accounting, and I felt that I was becoming more and more useful. I like this feeling, Miss.

People need me, respect me, and call me Miss Bella... Maybe if you ask me now, I'll give a different answer.

I am very happy every day, thank you, Miss Lilith..."

Bella carefully turned sideways, blew out the candle, lay back in the quilt, and closed her eyes.

The room was quiet.

Only when the lights were turned off could I see a huge shadow reflected on the curtains of the bedroom bay window. I didn't know how long it had been there.

"Shua-"

There was a slight sound of flapping wings, and the shadow was lifted up by the huge wings. After flapping a few times, it disappeared in front of the window and blended into the night.

……

Highgarden, the seat of the Duke of Bishop.

The spoon in Duke William's hand froze in mid-air. He looked at his daughter who appeared in the restaurant leisurely with a look of surprise.

"When did you come back?"

"Last night, it was late so I didn't let them wake you."

Catherine had been very tired these days. She had consumed a lot of her mental energy in the battle yesterday. After rushing back to Highgarden overnight, she fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed like Lilith. Now she was so hungry that she grabbed the food from her father's plate and started eating.

Duke William quickly pushed the plate over and let his baby daughter eat first.

"Oh sweetheart, you must be exhausted, right?" William carefully tucked Catherine's hair behind her ears, so that she could eat more comfortably. "Just take a good rest these days..."

"How is the preparation of seeds this year, father? Lilith and I hope to start as soon as possible. Not only wheat, but also corn and sorghum can be planted. She has been trying to cultivate new crops for the past six months and has achieved some results..." However, Catherine talked about work as soon as she opened her mouth.

"...Who do you look like, kid? Your mother and I are not like that." William had just met his youngest daughter and was immediately overwhelmed by her long list of work arrangements. He pinched his nose in pain.

"Then I'll go and confirm with Mr. Kirk myself later." However, Catherine was indifferent to her father's complaints. She had been running around with her classmates these days. She ate a bite of bread and a bite of meat, and then gulped down half a bowl of soup. She had no image at all.

If the Queen Aunt saw this, she would probably scream and kick her out to make her learn etiquette again.

Fortunately, this happened in front of Duke William. He looked at his lively daughter with love in his eyes.

"That Lilith, I really want to meet her." He was so curious about what kind of girl made his little pudding so lively.

"Then I'll invite her to your birthday party." Catherine said after swallowing her food.

Duke William nodded, smiling happily as he felt the joy of having breakfast with his beloved daughter.

"I ran into a group of Knights of Light in the Aver Valley. I don't know which regiment they belong to. They are very tight-lipped and don't want to tell us at all." After some casual greetings, Catherine suddenly changed the subject and talked about what she had seen and heard during her journey.

Duke William's new breakfast was brought over. Hearing this, he did not say anything, but cut a piece of meat and put it on his daughter's plate.

Seeing Duke William pretending to be indifferent, Catherine couldn't help but frown and shouted in disapproval, "Father."

"Aren't you curious? The Aver Valley is in the northern border of Gaia. They can pass through there on their way back to Highgarden. Where do they return from?" Catherine had already reviewed countless possible routes in her mind, and her face was serious at this moment.

"I heard from Mr. Kirk that the military appropriations are somewhat inconsistent with the uses reported by the current Minister of War, which means that some troops are not stationed on the border as they said. Aren't you worried?"

"This is not something you should worry about, dear." The Duke sighed helplessly, but seeing that his daughter was unmoved and even put down her fork, he had to explain further, "I have asked George about this matter, and he knows about it, so you don't have to worry."

"Can you get rid of you with such a reason, father?" Catherine looked at the Duke of the Empire, who was known by the outside world as iron-blooded and shrewd, with an incredible look on her face.

“The dispatch of troops should be open and transparent so as to enhance the people’s trust and understanding of the country…” Catherine recited the annotations in the Charter.

"That's just a principled point of view." William interrupted his daughter. "It's actually impossible. If the details are disclosed too early and known by the opponent, it will only increase the risk of military operations. You will understand it later."

"Everyone has their own secrets, Catherine." William reluctantly began to explain the rules of the adult world to Catherine. "George didn't need to report to anyone how he sent troops. He told me that he was just dealing with some private matters."

"No matter what, he is the king." William said earnestly.

However, Catherine just sneered when she heard this - "A king hiding behind the veil of the Vatican, a king who refuses to send troops to support the crisis in his country."

"He just hopes to use up all the troops in your base so that he can sleep well and maybe even recover from his illness..."

"Catherine!"

Such harsh words made Duke William's eyebrows twitch. The warm atmosphere at the table disappeared and he could no longer smile.

"George is not only the king, he is also your uncle and my brother." William tried hard to repair the royal family relationship that was in danger of collapse. "No matter what, he personally put the crown of the crown prince on you and acknowledged your position as the heir in front of the church."

William felt that this was not enough and he had to give the little guy some sense of crisis. "You have to know that Tservini has always preferred Kanien."

The second young master, who had just walked into the restaurant yawning, heard Catherine being scolded as soon as he came in. When he heard his father say this, he grinned and came up to him smugly.

"It doesn't matter." Catherine didn't buy it, and her expression didn't change. "If that idiot dares to take the crown, I will chop off his head and use it as a footstool on the first day of his accession to the throne, and I will use it until the day I die."

Kanien quickly closed his grinning mouth, turned around and ran away.
