Roses blooming in the heart

"Ah."

At night, Abelide held Elena in her arms and prepared to coax her to sleep. The child's soft body and the fragrant smell after the bath made Abelide feel sleepy first, but Elena is not sleepy yet.

In the afternoon, while Abelide was handling official duties, Elena slept for a long time until she woke up before dinner. Now she was so energetic that she couldn't fall asleep at all, even though Abelide asked the court musicians to come over and sing a lullaby to Elena.

It's a pity that Elena not only has no intention of sleeping, but is even more energetic. Her beautiful blue eyes are wide open and she looks at Abelide motionlessly.

In the end, there was no other way. Abelide had someone call Sophie, Anna's personal maid for Elena, and asked that person to play with Elena.

When Sophie came over, Abelide took a look at the seven or eight-year-old little girl and was not sure about letting the two maids and guards on duty tonight go to play with Elena.

"Ah ah ah ah ah."

Elena was having a great time being taken away. Abelide listened to the soft and unclear laughter and slowly closed her eyes. When she was about to fall asleep, the maid was tired from playing and her eyes were blurred. Elena, who was confused and unable to open her eyes, was sent back.

"Have enough fun?"

Abelide took the little one and put it in her exclusive place. She held it in her arms and gently patted Elena on the back to coax her to sleep.

"what."

Abelide responded with a small voice, and then Elena closed her eyes and fell into a sweet dream with Abelide's increasingly proficient sleeping skills.

The sound of regular breathing made Abelide, who was holding her, sleepy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep as well.

Children of this age are the most energetic. Abelide had a lot of things to do today, so she left Elena to the maids.

"Ah, ah, ah?"

After finishing breakfast, little Elena was still waiting for Abelide to play with her. She turned her head and looked around, but there was no familiar person.

Elena was confused and Elena wanted to cry.

The maids had no choice but to bring various toys and try their best to make Elena happy, making faces and pretending to talk with the dolls...

Fortunately, Elena was coaxed in the end. She stopped crying and didn't have to go to Abelide. She happily played with the maids and cooperated with the royal family's specialized dressmaker to try on Elena's clothes.

The Queen attaches great importance to the prom this time, and even other countries will send envoys to visit.

Even though Elena is just a little baby now, she still needs to be dressed up.

In the study on the other side, Abelide looked at the people in front of her with a smile.

Rosetta spoke first, giving a detailed report on the situation in the southern region of the former Man-Hungarian Empire and now the Saint Lawrence Empire.

"A small part of the original officials have been retained according to your standards, and the rest and their families have been sent to the Crazy Star for mining. The army has also been dispersed to the seven fleets. The officials of the empire have also reached the standard, and everything is now on track."

Abelide nodded, expressed satisfaction with Rosetta's report and then looked at Aldo and Cosette.

Aldo lowered his head and reported: "The defense measures at the border have been comprehensively strengthened, and the location of the Crown Prince of Man-Hungary has been found. He is now hiding in the gravel area at the junction of the Man-Hung Empire and the Northern Alliance. Their actions are all being monitored. We can arrest you at any time."

"The defense and security systems of the Emperor Star have all been updated, and more people have been deployed for patrols to ensure that Princess Elena's dance goes perfectly." Cosette also lowered her head and reported.

Among the four current marshals in the empire, Cosette is the youngest. She was promoted by Abelide in order to balance the relationship between the other three marshals after she succeeded to the throne.

But his abilities in all aspects are outstanding, and he is only better than the other three.

All three people reported their work, but Marshal Barry Minto stood awkwardly.

A few days ago, his father angered His Majesty again. After he went to take his father back with his shameless face, he has not been assigned any tasks until now. Even Princess Elena, who has been talked about by the entire upper class society recently. , he didn't get any definite news, and thought the rumors were false, but who knew... he was excluded.

A long time ago, after his blood niece succeeded to the throne, he understood that she not only hated the late emperor but also hated the queen mother who had always been indifferent to her.

But his father has always refused to accept this fact and refused to give up the child.

Ugh.

It was useless to say more now, he could only try his best to save the Minto family.

"It's best this way. There must be no mistakes that day." Abelide said these words gently with a smile, her emerald eyes looking at Barry, who maintained a boundary with the other three.

After a while, he raised his red lips and asked, "Is Duke Minto okay?"

There was not much concern in the words, and the mention of this matter now was just for the purpose of beating him up.

Barry leaned down and lowered his head, with a look of humility on his face, and said, "My father is very good, but he is also old and needs to rest. He will not show up again for a long time in the future."

Abelide didn't speak. She raised her eyes and stared at Minto for a while before replying: "It's a pity to rest for a long time."

No one dared to answer Abelide's words. They all tried their best to keep themselves quiet and never let the current Majesty notice them.

Fortunately, Abelide asked them some questions and then asked them to leave, allowing them to check the completion of their tasks.

"There must be no mistakes in this dance. If it doesn't work, you can all go mining."

After they left, Prime Minister Hathaway, who was waiting outside, went in. Rosetta, who had a fairly good relationship with Hathaway, reminded her: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood today. Please pay more attention."

Hathaway raised her eyes and met Rosetta's eyes, then nodded to indicate that she understood and went in.

As soon as Hathaway entered, she stayed until dinner time. During this period, the main person in charge and planner of the dance also stayed inside for a long time. When she came out, she almost fell to the ground.

Hathaway helped the person in charge, who was already quite old, and reminded her to be careful.

"Thank you, Prime Minister." The gray-haired old man thanked her, and Hathaway just nodded and left.

Hathaway doesn't want to get too close to the people in the palace. Your Majesty is a very suspicious person, although every time he is suspicious, he is right.

But recent events still make Hathaway have to be careful, for fear that the queen will really throw her away.

While Hathaway was feeling uneasy, Abelide was in a good mood.

At dinner time, Anna brought over a cute little guy dressed up.

"Do you like this dress so much?"

Abelide looked at Elena, who kept lowering her head to grab the hem of her skirt. Elena, who was wearing a tutu that covered her feet, was now like an exquisite doll displayed in the window, making people unable to take their eyes away.

"what!"

As if she understood, Elena happily grabbed the hem of her skirt and showed it to Alberid. She kept talking with her little mouth, as if she was showing off her skirt to Alberid.

Abelide raised her hand and scratched the tip of Elena's nose.

There was a smile on her face that Alberid didn't even notice.

"very beautiful."

Then he said to Anna who was doing the laundry: "Prepare more clothes like this for her."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After doing this, Abelide held Abelide in her arms, let Elena sit on her lap, and asked: "You will have a lot of clothes like this, are you happy?" Then she went to pinch Irene again. Na's face.

Abelide has fallen in love with the feeling of this kind of hand, and will not change this habit in a short time. Fortunately, Elena did not dislike this action and thought it was playing with her.

Elena always smiled happily every time Abelide pinched her face.
