The villain queen eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and won't let me lie down?

“Dio, do you know how many people in this world idolize me? You're revealing the truth, have you considered the impact this will have on them, causing their faith to collapse? Shaming the Empire?”

This is basically saying, 'You're so naive, you're so cute!'

Roger responded in a deep voice, “Of course I know, but I still believe that everyone has the right to know the truth. Your Majesty's attempt to cover up the truth is the act of a foolish ruler, a guilty conscience!”

[Seriously, isn't this Empress angry enough yet? Hurry up and dismiss me!]

[Watch me continue to add fuel to the fire! Insulting her to her face! Those who seize power illegitimately are most afraid of being called usurpers, right?]

[Women really overthink things. If the Eternal Empire endures, even the executioner is willing to bear the infamy for her people; if the Empire is destroyed by the gods, no matter how perfect you are, you'll be vilified and smeared with countless black marks...]

[Because in this world, victory is justice, and the defeated have no right to revise history!]

[The Empress I admire most is the one who dares to erect a blank monument in the world, letting the world judge her merits, that's true greatness!]

[If you're too scared, little girl, hurry up and let me go back, don't delay my plans to laze around!]

The Eternal Night Empress was indeed enraged by Roger again, but listening to his inner thoughts, she miraculously calmed down.

Victory is justice?

An Empress who erects a blank monument?

Letting the world judge her merits?

The Eternal Night Empress suddenly felt a surge of heroic emotion.

She dares, so why shouldn't I?

Let's see who is the greatest Empress!

She said loudly, “Sir Dio, you are right. Let the Empire's history be compiled as you wish, publish all the truths you think the people of the Empire should know. You write, and I won't change a single word!”

Roger looked at the Empress's confident and radiant face, completely dumbfounded.

(Today's victory and defeat: The Empress accepted the unfavorable Empire history, Roger continues to serve as the historian due to his talkativeness, both lost.)

Chapter 20: A Precious Scene of Harmony Between Ruler and Subject

[Wait, Your Majesty, isn't that period of history your inner demon? Don't force yourself!]

[If I revise your black history like this and publish it, I'll be cursed and even assassinated by countless people in the Empire, won't I?]

[If you suddenly have a broad mind and think things through, it'll cost me my little life. Those barbarians in the Empire won't be as calm as you...]

Roger's voice trembled, “Your Majesty, do you mean I can actually continue to be the historian?”

“Not only that, but you will also be my Minister of Historical Affairs, entering the palace to record my words and deeds truthfully, and compiling history books in the future.”

She waved her sleeve heroically, revealing a smile that was no longer confused.

I have a clear conscience, let the world judge!

The Empress not only said it but also dispelled the misleading weapons.

She began to emanate an aura of a ruler who embraces everything and fears nothing, facing all the gazes of the world with equanimity.

At this moment, the Eternal Night Empress's realm and strength actually broke through a small level.

But Roger only heard that he would not only continue to be the historian but also enter the Empress's cabinet, and he immediately became anxious.

He disguised this identity to stay away from his blood mother and avoid having his treasure chest stolen.

But suddenly he became a cabinet minister who had to be by her side at all times?

Isn't this going in the opposite direction?

Roger quickly advised, “Your Majesty, the Empire is in a time of turmoil. Publishing this history may be exploited by the Church of the Seven Gods!”

“It doesn't matter, they've been slandering me for more than a day or two. One day I'll kill them all, and the Empire will be safe!”

She declared domineeringly.

Roger wanted to persuade her further, but suddenly found that the fog around him had dissipated.

The magicians and guards of the Great Library, as well as the Imperial Capital Guard who had rushed over after hearing the news, looked over with shocked, curious, and probing gazes.

The Eternal Night Empress angrily blew up a third of the Great Library, which was seen by too many people and couldn't be concealed at all.

At that time, she seemed to be talking to the historian Dio Brando, so naturally, many people attributed the reason for the Empress's anger to this young man.

Could it be that he did something improper, or did something go wrong with the compilation of the Empire's history, which caused His Majesty to lose her temper so rarely...

The probing gaze contained hostility.

As if the Empress gave an order, and we would drown this kid with our saliva!

[This dissipation of fog is definitely not a coincidence, the Empress who defies the heavens is actually manipulating public opinion to coerce me? Damn it! Insidious! Cunning!]

[That's right, she's a fierce person who can come up with a plan to kill four birds with one stone, and she understands people's hearts very well...]

Roger's stomach full of excuses and reasons all turned into grievances, and he didn't dare to say any of them.

Helplessly, he became an actor, respectfully and excitedly performing for the surrounding people:

“Thank you for Your Majesty's trust, I will do my best to compile the Empire's history for you!”

“Sir Dio, just do it boldly, don't worry, with me here, even the Goddess of War herself won't be able to stop you from making the truth public.”

The Eternal Night Empress was also an actress, placing her small hand on Roger's shoulder.

A precious scene of harmony between ruler and subject, resisting the Church of the Seven Gods together, moved countless people!

The Empress also gave a reasonable explanation for the sudden explosion of one-third of the Great Library and her previous anger.

It was because the Goddess of War sent apostles to infiltrate the Capital of Mysteries and sabotage the compilation of the Empire's history!

The Eternal Night Empress keenly realized that the apostles of the Goddess of War were resisting stubbornly.

Although the Eternal Night Empress won in the end, the fighting parties couldn't control their power, and the aftermath caused part of the Great Library to collapse.

Dio Brando and the Historical Advisory Group, who were present, were witnesses to the battle.

The next day, the headline of the 'Long Live the Empress' newspaper was:

His Majesty personally thwarted the conspiracy of the Goddess of War, and the Great Library bombed and killed the apostles!

Imperial nobles: Damn the Goddess of War, we want war, we want to fuck her ass!

Imperial people: Long live the Empress, His Majesty is the best in the world!

Church of the Goddess of War: Would you believe me if I said I didn't do anything?

Roger: The more beautiful a woman is, the more she lies. I was at the scene and saw with my own eyes that my blood mother fabricated this lie out of thin air without even blinking an eye...

……

……

Because there were many magicians and guards of the Capital of Mysteries as witnesses, Dio Brando continued to serve as the historian.

At the same time, he will also serve as the Minister of Historical Affairs.

A commoner becoming the emperor's cabinet aide is still the first case in the Empire.

Many, many nobles protested against this.

But for the time being, no one dared to use conspiracies and tricks against this Sir Brando.

Because the Eternal Night Empress publicly declared that she would protect this commoner minister.

Whoever dares to move him is openly declaring war on the Empress and will definitely be thoroughly investigated.

This is a magical world, and with the blessing of various incredible abilities, the difficulty of committing a perfect crime is many times more difficult than in the real world.

Even if Roger wanted to use the trick of "I kill myself" to get away, he would have to consider the consequences.

Is the identity of the younger brother of the Right Prime Minister powerful enough to openly slap the Empress in the face?

After some consideration, Roger felt that if he did this, before the Empress got angry, his sister Angelina would first kill him righteously and send him to the Maple Spirit Moon Shadow Palace.

Therefore, he has to continue to be this historian for the time being, and he probably won't be able to escape being the Minister of Historical Affairs.

Although this aide position was temporarily arranged by the Eternal Night Empress, the emperor's words are not a joke. Immediately, a complete set of cabinet minister's clothing, identity medals, and treatment standards were drafted by the Right Prime Minister.

In order to complete the act, Roger hurriedly rented a small apartment in the wealthy area of the Capital of Mysteries as Dio Brando's residence.

He gave the landlord an extra six months' rent to prove that he had lived here half a year ago.

Faced with a windfall, the landlord would naturally not refuse.

Then Roger, as Dio, met Angelina at his residence and received the appointment documents personally sent by the Right Prime Minister from her.

This was also a performance for the nobles to see.

Angelina is not only the Right Prime Minister of the Empire but also the head of the Charles family, the Duke of the Empire, and the top noble.

Her willingness to accept a commoner aide to join the Empress's cabinet would affect the attitude of a considerable number of nobles.

This is also a signal that the Empress wants to promote more officials from the commoner class.

The Empire's territory is now too large, and there is a need for more officials.

If only relying on the nobles of the Green Vine Empire, in the end, I'm afraid that I don't know what kind of trash fish and rotten shrimp can become governors.

The Empress did not want to see such a scene.

So, she can only supplement fresh blood from the common people and establish a more sound and professional administrative system.

Especially now that the "Restoration Army" is causing trouble, the problem of insufficient number and ability of local officials in the Empire is becoming increasingly prominent.

This has become the Empress's excuse to launch strict official selection and improve the overall level.

Roger used "a thousand gold to buy bones" to put the Eternal Night Empress in a difficult position, and the Eternal Night Empress did not lose out in vain. She simply turned a thousand gold into ten thousand gold and pushed him out as a living target.

A cabinet minister, drawing hatred steadily.

……

……

After tossing around for three or four days, Roger managed to deal with many loopholes in Dio's identity.

In the short term, he can only be Dio during the day and return to being the young master of the Charles family at night.

This kind of life, which completely violates his original idea, does not feel happy at all.

Naturally, his slacking treasure chest disappeared again.

What's even more troublesome is that even Roger, who considers himself a clever ghost, can't think of a way to break the situation for a while.

He is tied to death by Dio's identity!

He can only be a historian and work for a day, bearing the Empress's pressure to update, and complete the work at hand before thinking about other things.

Thus, ten days passed.

The actions of the "Restoration Army" reached their peak. On the old land of the seventeen countries, the Empire's rule had a sense of upheaval.

In the Imperial Capital, there were undercurrents among the nobles as to whether to allow commoners to be officials.

At this time, ten volumes of "History of the Green Vine Empire" were completed and published throughout the Empire.

Chapter 21: Universally Praised Volume Ten

The ten volumes of "History of the Green Vine Empire" can be called a monumental work in this era.

Paper is quite expensive in this era, and printing presses are also incredibly precise alchemical devices.

But the Empire has many magicians, and the Eternal Night Empress also intends to show national power, instructing to publish 10,000 sets of "History of the Green Vine Empire".

In addition to the collections of large and small libraries in the Capital of Mysteries, the capital cities of other provinces and important cities in the old land of the seventeen countries must all collect this set of books.

The part that the people of the Empire care about most is, of course, Volume Ten, which records the Eternal Night Empress.

That is also the history that many people have personally experienced.

Everyone is very curious about what their past real lives look like in the history books.

For a time, "History of the Green Vine Empire" became a popular reading material. 10,000 sets seemed like a lot, but it seemed like a drop in the bucket when placed in the entire Empire.

Even though the literacy rate of the imperial commoners in this era is not high, there are also "wandering poets" similar to storytellers in the East.

Now the Empire's wandering poets have discovered that no one listens to other programs. The people are only interested in stories related to the Empress.
