Yes, Madam Prime Minister

Although it was only one round of combat, Agustina already understood that Elena's physical attributes were superior to hers, her total magical power was no less than hers, and she had a clear mind and a strong mentality. Without activating her Flame Eye, it would be quite difficult to suppress her.

Elena shook her head. "Forget it, this is about the best I can do as a support-type mage. If I continue, I'll lose badly."

Aside from her melee abilities and the special powers granted by the Moon Goddess, her magic is truly purely supportive.

Soon after, the chickens fighting on the other side also ended.

Yvette and Alice both had messy hair, their faces were covered in dust, and their clothes and skirts were full of holes. Apart from their pantyhose, none of them were intact. As for who would win, if the fight continued, Yvette would win. Although she looked like a little girl, she had a decent physique and more magic power than Alice.

Right now, it's a draw.

The first training match has ended.

That evening, in Ronan's study, he rested his chin on his hand, waiting for Ambrina to lead him into the dining room.

Not long after, Ronan was pulled into the restaurant. Before the light was even out, he could already hear cheerful, a cappella singing. It was just la la la, with no lyrics and very chaotic.

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was water mist. After taking two steps forward, I found myself in front of a large bathtub, with steam rising from it. In the middle of the bathtub stood a long marble table, exactly the same style as the wooden table I had seen before.

Ambrina could change the environment of the "restaurant" through music. Now that he thought about it, the random humming he had just heard was actually a bath song, and the large bathtub, which was at least 30 or 40 square meters, was created because of this song.

Ambrina was mostly submerged in the water, wearing a tight-fitting white bodysuit and boxer briefs. The bodysuit cinched her waist and lifted her breasts, which, despite Ambrina's already large breasts, created a deep cleavage.

The boxer briefs were also tight-fitting, clearly showing the flat stomach and the full contours of the lower triangle area. The edges of the briefs were connected to white stockings, which became crystal clear after being wet.

“This…” Ronan didn’t know what to say.

The music suddenly changed the next moment.

Chapter 193 Explanation: I feel like I have important business to attend to.

As the music turned into a somber and oppressive melody, the scene rapidly changed. The surrounding walls transformed into old-fashioned castle-like brick walls, and this change gradually spread inwards. The ground where Ronan was standing also changed. Just when Ronan thought the whole place was about to turn into a castle restaurant, the background music changed again, returning to the cheerful and carefree bath song from before.

The castle-like atmosphere began to recede, and soon the place returned to its former state of a steamy, large bathroom.

Ronan was also bewildered by these successive changes. "Anli, what's going on?"

“Yes, yes.” Ambrina stammered a bit, “I was originally planning to change into a bathrobe, and then play this pre-recorded song to turn this place into a bathhouse restaurant. By the time the transformation was complete, you would have arrived. But I accidentally hummed a song while changing, and the scene changed as soon as I took off my outer clothes. In my haste, I slipped and fell into the bath, getting completely wet. Just as I was about to change things up, you arrived. In my rush, I switched to the wrong scene, and then I switched back.”

Ambrina seemed to have used up all her strength to finish this set of lies.

"Oh," Ronan responded, pretending to believe him.

Ambrina breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ronan had no suspicions.

Only she knew what really happened. In fact, she initially wanted Ronan to see her wearing only a corset and stockings. But when she used her magic to pull Ronan in, before he even entered, she panicked and regretted it. Having been raised almost entirely by nuns at a church school, she was a very conservative person at heart.

But there was no going back at this point. In her panic, Ambrina instinctively tried to bury her head in the sand. Sitting by the pool, she slipped into the water, getting completely soaked. Then Ronan came in. When she was seen, she quickly changed the song, but then realized it was pointless since she was already soaked. So she changed it back and finally made up a clumsy lie.

Ambrina then regretted lying to Ronan. After a moment of silence, she decided to reveal her true thoughts, "Ronan, actually..."

Ronan raised his hand in a "no" gesture. "Anli, there's no need to explain anything. We don't need to be so clear about things between us, don't you think?"

Ambrina nodded and responded loudly, "Yes!"

Ronan pulled off his coat. "Do you need it?"

“No need, I’m not nervous at all now,” Ambrina said, even standing up to face Ronan directly. “Ronan, would you like to come down for a soak?”

Ronan was amused by Ambrina's adorable appearance, smiled, and agreed, "Okay."

Ronan took off his clothes, pants, shoes, and socks, leaving only a pair of large shorts tied with a string. In those days, there was no elastic fabric, and the imitation technology was not good, so underwear was very expensive. Not only was it expensive, but it could only be tied with a string.

Ronan then went into the water and sat down next to Ambrina. When Ambrina noticed that Ronan was looking down, she immediately reached out and pushed Ronan's chin up, saying, "Don't look down."

"Why?" Ronan asked.

“I…” Ambrina paused, and even though there were only the two of them there, she still whispered very softly, as if she were talking in a secret, “I, Mao, Duo.”

Ronan didn't realize it at first because Ambrina's skin was exceptionally white and smooth, with hardly any hair, unlike some white girls who appear very white from afar but become rough up close.

It took Ronan a moment to realize what kind of hair Ambrina was referring to when she said "a lot of hair".

The bra and underwear are white, so they might actually be visible in the water.

However, since Ambrina wouldn't let him look, Ronan stopped looking and instead looked upwards at her chest.

“It’s quite big,” Ronan said with a smile.

"Tch, it's all squeezed out," Ambrina muttered, knowing full well that she couldn't compare to some people.

Ronan didn't speak. If we're talking about bra size, Alice is between B and C, Ambrina is a bit bigger, between C and D, Elena is about an E, and Dinia might be a G. For someone with such a large figure who doesn't sag at all, it's really magical in this magical world.

Without realizing it, Ronan's gaze shifted to his legs, and then he unconsciously got up.

Ambrina was looking at Ronan's abs when she saw this scene.

Then, the two of them suddenly fell silent. If it were a few months ago, Ambrina would have been eager to find something to talk about. At that time, she always felt that the two of them had to say something during their brief meeting. But now, she just leaned against Ronan quietly and didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

Ambrina had never been in love before. The first man she felt attracted to was Ronan. At first, she tried to draw inspiration from the love bridges she saw in literary works and do things that lovers should do. Now, Ambrina understands that love is entirely a personal matter. She and Ronan do not need to deliberately do anything that so-called lovers should do.

She is who she is, and Ronan is who she is; when they are together, it's love.

Ronan was also someone who had never been in love. His relationship with Elena and Alice was simply a change from one kind of peculiar family to another kind of peculiar family, which could definitely not be considered a romantic relationship.

However, Ronan did not conduct an analysis like Ambrina did.

His relationship with Ambrina didn't cause any sustained emotional fluctuations, and most of the time he didn't even worry about it. But after a few days apart, he would still want to see her. Occasionally, he would be so charmed by this seemingly quiet but actually lively girl that he wanted to be childish with her. At certain moments, there was a hint of sweetness, not the sweetness of candy, but the subtle sweetness of honey water.

"That's enough, I'm leaving." Ronan got up and went to get his clothes.

“Mm,” Ambrina replied.

A few minutes later, Ronan returned. He hadn't even put on his clothes when he saw Elena and Alice, and they saw him too.

"Wow, young master, what is this?" Elena exclaimed with a pointed question.

"You and His Highness..." Alice stammered in surprise.

As Ronan put on his clothes, he answered, "No."

Elena looked at Ronan, "You gave me a chance but I didn't use it?"

Ronan rolled his eyes at Elena. "You can't remember all the profound truths I say, but you remember this kind of thing very well."

Elena chuckled shamelessly.

After putting on his clothes, Ronan became serious. "By the way, what are you doing here so late?"

"Sigh, someone's lonely." Elena sighed and looked at Alice.

Alice was so angry her eyebrows almost stood on end. "Can't you be normal for once? I have important business to attend to."

“Speak,” Ronan told Alice.

Alice did have important business to attend to, but it wasn't urgent.

She wanted to ask Ronan to ask Ambrina how to train summoned creatures because she couldn't beat Yvette, who had just become a first-tier official, today. She didn't expect Ambrina to give her a perfect solution, but she hoped she could provide some ideas.

Chapter 194 Progress, Changes, and Unexpected External Aid

Ronan agreed with Alice's idea. The Freigo family had been practicing ritual magic and summoning for generations, so they must have researched how to cultivate summoned creatures. These research findings might not be suitable for Alice, but providing her with some ideas should be fine.

“Okay, I’ll ask around for you tomorrow,” Ronan agreed.

After finishing the important matter, Elena looked at Ronan, and without needing to say anything, Ronan understood what she meant.

Elena immediately grabbed Alice, who was turning to leave.

Alice was annoyed. "Are you sick in the head?"

Elena hugged Alice tightly, breathed warm air into her ear, and said like a cute golden retriever, "Dear Alice, just keep me company."

Alice remained silent, tacitly agreeing.

Then Elena took out two special hair ties, one with dog ears and one with cat ears, and two special furry tails, one with a dog tail and one with a cat tail. Then she took out a bottle of ointment.

Alice immediately regretted it, only to be picked up by Elena.

The long night begins here.

The next morning, Ronan was the first to wake up. Elena and Alice were still sleeping peacefully. Black and white stockings with tears and rips, and some parts were dry and hardened, were hanging by the bedside.

The ordinary, monotonous days passed by one after another, and the only thing that could record the changes was the socks by the bed, which had become thicker.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the New Year is approaching.

In her spare time, Alice continuously nurtured her summoned creatures using some so-called secret manuals she obtained from Ambrina, and she made some progress. The difference between summoned creatures and materialized objects is that summoned creatures are alive, and Alice's gun began to resemble a living thing more and more.

However, Yvette is also making progress. Ronan, who is also a materialist, would occasionally give her some pointers when he went to Dinia's house for drinks. Her control over materialization is much stronger than it was at the beginning.

The two are still at the same level, and the match is still even.

With the New Year approaching and the long holiday just around the corner, Dinia announced that there would be no major moves in the coming year, which was met with enthusiastic applause from the officials.

For bureaucrats, nothing pleases them more than "unchanging" things.

Then, Ronan rambled on about the next year, and the meeting adjourned.

The New Year holiday is over, and we have officially entered 1584.

In March, springtime, Dinia took sick leave. Although anyone with a sound mind knew that Dinia was not sick at all, they still had a good celebration. After all, this female mayor could be quite unreasonable at times, and there was nothing they could do about it.

But soon they discovered that this was actually bad news, because Ronan, that bastard, broke his promise that Dinia would not make any more big moves and began a series of personnel changes. The first one was that the old judge, Avels, was taken down. The old man was dismissed for harboring a criminal. For a time, everyone in the city hall was in danger, fearing that they would be next.

There's no way around it; if we're really going to enforce the law impartially, there's no one in this city hall we can't arrest.

Outside of politics, Ronan's business ventures also made progress.

Two third-tier mages have arrived in New Sea City.

In this era, many high-ranking magicians are not very skilled in magic, but they are good at inventing. When an inventor also has the power to defend the interests of his inventions, he will definitely become a capitalist, and even more ruthless than the average capitalist.

Capitalists certainly support reform, and New Sea City recently passed the Magician Patent Law.

The kingdom used to have patents; power and violence were patents. However, murder is illegal, and those who dare to infringe on rights are usually magicians, which is troublesome.

So how did Ronan ensure the implementation of the patent law? Of course, it's because he's the envy of countless men in the kingdom, because he's been betrothed to Princess Ambrina, the most powerful woman in the kingdom, and Lady Dinia, the most powerful female magician on the continent.

You asked if the kingdom's top mages support it? Of course they do.

Meanwhile, the Haidi people are also making progress.

They developed a culture medium that could turn ordinary plants into mutated plants. However, mutated plants, compared to their original counterparts, might not be a benign mutation for humans, so the experiments could only be conducted behind closed doors.

In addition, they used the previously damaged replicas of the Illusionary Melody to piece together a small speedboat that sails using magic and does not require wind power.

But this thing is pretty useless. Ordinary magicians can't control it to travel for long periods of time. Only a freak like Dinia, with an incredible amount of magic power, can.

So Dinia set sail in this thing to kill pirates.

Sometimes, Ronan was puzzled. The Seadi people a thousand years ago were clearly a high-tech civilization based on magic stones, and the methods of cultivating plants were just secondary. However, now, these Seadi people only know how to farm and are completely incapable of developing advanced technology. They don't understand magic stones at all, let alone manufacture them, and they can't even use them.

If we could use the magic stones, creating the submarine that took Ronan to that otherworldly island wouldn't be a problem at all.

In the blink of an eye, it's May.

Ronan has already established the new framework for New Sea City. After he leaves, New Sea City will not reach the point where "every decision Ronan makes is resolutely supported" and "every instruction Ronan gives is always followed." At the very least, no one will come forward to say that Ronan is 30/70 in his favor.

After completing this task, Ronan began to think about his trip to the New World next year.

He has a political team, including himself, Yvette, and Alice. He is also guaranteed personal military strength, and business is not a problem. The only problem is the military.

Upon arriving in the New World, war is likely to break out, but Ronan is completely incapable of commanding troops, and neither is Dinia. Her experience leading a mage corps cannot be applied to a regular army. The mage corps consists entirely of orthodox mages, highly mobile, with high morale, and each member is capable of independent combat with extremely strong individual fighting capabilities.

Having no other option, Ronan had to seek help from Ambrina to resolve the problem.

Ambrina agreed, and the next day she told Ronan that she would pull him aside at noon and ask him to prepare some good dishes.

Clearly, this means they're going to treat everyone to a meal.

The next day, Ronan brought in braised beef, steamed lobster, braised pork knuckle, and a cold dish of crystal chicken.

Crystal chicken is made by deboning chicken thighs and cooking them until just done. They are then placed in a large iron plate, and the broth from simmering pork skin is poured over them. The mixture is chilled and cooled, and finally, a transparent jelly-like coating is placed over the chicken. The chicken is then sliced ​​and drizzled with a sauce made from ginger, garlic, oyster sauce, and olive oil. The jelly is soft and bouncy, the chicken is tender, and the sauce adds a rich and refreshing flavor.

“This magic is interesting, and this chicken is quite good too. It seems you two are living a very comfortable life.” It was Isabel who spoke. Ronan hadn’t expected that Ambrina would ask her for help with the analysis.

However, it makes sense when you think about it. Isabel has connections with many young officers, and if she makes a move, she can indeed find someone who can easily accompany Ronan and Dinia to the New World.

But to Ronan's surprise, Isabelle didn't mention the young officer at all, but instead mentioned an unexpected person.

Chapter 195 The Defeated General Returns, and with One More Person

Raven de Heil, born into a minor noble family, is practically no different from a commoner. He is currently 59 years old, a first-tier official, a Heavenly Oath Mutant, and possesses the Eagle Eye, which provides a wide field of vision at high altitudes.

This man was originally the marshal of the kingdom. Twelve years ago, he was the commander of the Eastern Route Army, the commander of the legion that confronted the empire.

He divided his army into three parts: one part was used as bait to lure the enemy's vanguard, another part went around the enemy's supply lines, pretending to be discovered by the enemy's main force, while he himself led his elite troops on a large-scale offensive, heading straight for the enemy's main camp where the emperor and several grand dukes were located.
