Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

"Catherine, how long have we known each other?"

"Seven years and six months."

Seven years ago, Elena's parents disappeared under the abyss. At that time, Catherine took over the heavy responsibility to take care of her benefactor's daughter who was seven years younger than her, who is the adopted daughter of the current emperor, Princess Elena. .

"So it's been so long..."

After hearing this, Elena thought deeply, her snow-white pretty face slowly resting on her fair and delicate knees.

Catherine looked at Elena, without making a sound for a long time, and after half a minute, the latter took the initiative to speak again.

"Catherine, have I changed a lot recently?"

Tadel was far away, and when Testia first met, it was normal for them not to notice, but Catherine and Elena got along day and night, so it was impossible not to notice any problems.

"Your Highness has indeed changed a lot." Catherine replied truthfully.

"Tell me." Elena narrowed her blood-red eyes, her voice was clear and shallow.

"The former Highness didn't like to read books, didn't like to delve into magic, let alone let the maids dine with her."

Catherine's voice was low and she responded unhurriedly.

In fact, not only these major aspects, since the end of the dance that night, many details of Elena's life have become different from before.

In the past, she loved to sleep late, and she never asked anyone to talk to anyone. When entering a servant's room, she would not politely knock on the door to remind her, but just pushed the door open and walked in.

"What else?" Elena asked again.

Catherine then handed over the minutiae discoveries to Elena, who couldn't help sighing after hearing that, fortunately, this long-legged and thin-waisted royal sister is not Prince Tadel's eyeliner, otherwise she would definitely be caught by the court now. The other party stares.

"Catherine..."

"I am here, Your Highness Elena."

"...No matter what I become in the future, will you always follow me?"

Looking at Eileen's bright red pupils exactly like her mother's, Catherine nodded.

"I will follow Her Royal Highness Eileen until death."

Volume 20: Chapter 20 Chapter [-] Soul Brand from the Legendary Mage

Hearing Catherine say this kind of death speech that would most likely come true in novels, Elena shook her head with a soft voice.

"Try not to say things like death or not in the future, but I'm very happy that you can answer like this."

What Elena was most worried about before was the attitude of the head maid, Catherine. She didn't know if the other party found out that "Eileen" was different from the person she had imagined, whether she would continue to fight as shown in the original book. Follow her wholeheartedly.

Now it seems that Catherine doesn't necessarily agree with the wrong things Elena did. She voluntarily stays by her side just to repay her kindness, that's all.

"As you order, Your Highness Elena."

Catherine bowed her body slightly, caressing her chest with the palm of her left hand, then looked up and saw a red magic spar in Elena's hand, the bright red inside the spar was similar to the pupil color of the opponent's eyes.

"Catherine."

"I'm here."

Eileen rubbed the magic spar between her fingers, whispering softly.

"Did my mother mention it specifically before she passed away?"

It has been described many times in the novel that Princess Irene likes to carry this magic spar with her. Firstly, the gemstone is fine in texture and fine in color, and it is really good-looking. Secondly, it is a relic left by Elena’s mother to her daughter.

Eileen sent her mental power to spy on the magic spar just now, but the latter was like a bottomless pit, no matter how much she sent, there was no response.

"Ms. Lori Ann never mentioned it before she left," Catherine replied in a low voice.

Ms. Lorian is Elena's biological mother. She and her husband disappeared in the rift abyss in the northern part of the empire a few years ago. It was also the second year after they disappeared. The current emperor of the Callist Empire adopted Elena as his adopted daughter. , and love it in every possible way.

Elena nodded upon hearing this, and quickly called Catherine to come closer.

"Catherine, try injecting mental power into it."

The maid lady took the magic spar and tried to transmit executive-level spiritual power inside. Elena used the elemental vision to observe Catherine's operation. As a result, not only did the magic spar not respond, even the woman's spiritual power was isolated.

"Your Highness Elena, it refuses to accept my spiritual power." Catherine said.

Elena narrowed her beautiful eyes when she heard this, and said in a low voice, "It really is so..."

There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, the magic spar has been imprinted with the soul, and only specific objects can input spiritual power to play its original role.

Undoubtedly, it was Ms. Lorian who arranged the soul imprint. The magic level of the latter had reached the senior legendary mage, and she was only a few steps away from the legendary spell creator.

To break through the shackles of her magic power, the destroyer needs at least the strength of a peak-level legendary mage.

Seeing that she couldn't figure out the specific use of the magic spar for a while, Elena put it back into the box and turned to another topic.

"Catherine, I'm going to disband the maid team in a few days."

Princess Elena has a team of about 20 maids in the palace. They are mainly responsible for helping Elena buy clothes, buy jewelry, and prepare some desserts and tea that she likes.

Some of these people are not actually loyal to Eileen, but Prince Tadel's eyeliner to monitor every move of various forces in the palace.

It is difficult to distinguish who is the maid and who is the spy in a short time, and the dismissal by name will easily arouse Tadel's suspicion. Elena's idea is to let the maid team disband on the spot.

"Even Miss Testia will be fired?"

"No, she's special."

Elena's plan is to keep only two maids, Catherine and Testia. The former has served her for many years, so it is normal to stay. As for Testia, Tadel probably has always regarded her as Elena's new toy. , I'm not tired of playing, of course I won't turn it off so easily.

"Then what do I need to do?" Catherine asked.

If it was just to expel them all, Catherine could do it with a single word, but from what Elena said, she seemed to be looking for a less deliberate reason.

Elena thought for a while, then parted her pink lips: "It's simple, you can add some seafood powder to my breakfast tomorrow, and don't let anyone find out."

Princess Elena is allergic to shrimps and crabs in the sea, so it is impossible for similar food to appear on her table throughout the year.

Realizing what Elena wanted to do, Catherine frowned slightly, but hesitated to speak.

"His Highness Elena, are you sure you want to do this...your body..."

"Okay, you can put some properly."

Although the feeling of allergies is really not very good, Elena still insists on singing this bitter trick.

For the delicate and willful Princess Elena to suffer such a great grievance, it is reasonable to fire all the maids in anger.

Seeing Elena's persistent insistence, Catherine stopped persuading her and accepted the task in a low voice.

"Then, does Her Highness Elena have anything else to do?"

"It's gone for now, go back and rest."

Joan sniffed lightly, the night air was sweet and slightly cool, Elena lowered her bent legs, her voice was clearer and softer than usual.

Catherine looked at the girl's two white, tender and smooth slender jade legs exposed outside the skirt. The moonlight splashed on them, as if coated with a layer of silver frost, soft and smooth.

"It's just the beginning of spring, and the night is not as hot as I imagined. Please, Her Highness Elena, keep warm and wear more clothes."

Hearing Catherine's mother-like speech, Elena turned her head to look at the long black maid standing beside the bed, and said with a smile.

"Okay, I know."

It is obvious that Catherine is only 25 years old, not as old as her previous life, and she is also fair-skinned and beautiful with long legs, but she feels very old-fashioned.

It seems that taking care of this spoiled imperial princess did consume too much of her energy.

Seeing Catherine turned to leave, Elena suddenly smiled.

"If you have to say it, there is indeed one more thing."

Catherine paused slightly when she heard this, her thin waist straightened.

"His Royal Highness, please speak."

Elena touched the hair on her chest, her voice was cold.

"From now on, you don't need to call me Your Highness in private."

"Just call me Elena."

ps. Author's note: There will be another chapter later, and the noon session will be changed to nine o'clock in the evening. I feel that there will be more people at that time.

Volume 21: Chapter 21 Chapter [-] She is a professional actress

At dawn the next day, Testia, who knew nothing about what happened last night, lifted the quilt, washed and tidied up and changed into a maid outfit, and entered the other party's boudoir after obtaining the master's consent.

Eileen had obviously just woken up, she was sitting in front of the dressing table wearing a silk princess dress, her pair of black silk legs were tightly close together, her long silver-white hair was hanging down her waist in a mess.

"Testia, come and help Princess Elena tidy her hair." Catherine instructed Testia while arranging the jewel decorations on Elena's skirt.

After receiving the wooden comb from the head maid, Testia stretched out her hand to hold the silver hair. The place where the palm touched the hair was slightly cold, and the soft hair slipped easily between her fingers, giving her the feeling that she was touching a section of hair. Good silk.

"How did you sleep last night?" Elena asked suddenly.

Testia thought that the other party was talking to Catherine, so she didn't answer immediately. It wasn't until she realized that Catherine was busy with work and hadn't made a sound for a long time, then she could barely react.

"Hmm... slept well..." Testia replied softly.

She has slept on bed boards, haystacks, and carts rattling on the gravel road. She has long since lost the habit of recognizing the bed, and the bedroom environment is very good, even if she lies on the carpet, she can easily fall asleep.

After the question and answer, Elena didn't continue to look for topics, and Testia didn't take the initiative to speak, but gently combed the former's hair.

Her Highness Elena's hair is so smooth and shiny.

Testia secretly lamented the quality of Elena's hair, and suddenly a very outrageous idea popped up in her heart.

If you can bury your face in it... it won't feel bad...

And just the second after this idea popped up, Testia's ears began to feel hot, and her hands scrambled in an instant.

"Ok?"

Sensing the faint pain coming from behind, Elena let out a coquettish snort, and Testia immediately apologized when she heard it, and became more careful in her every move.

"Concentrate," Elena said.

"Ok."

What is she thinking about...

After Elena finished dressing up, the three master and servant went to the royal dining room together. According to the rules, the honorable Elena had her meal first, and after her meal was over, the maids had about half an hour to fill their stomachs.

Elena's breakfast today consists of fried tomatoes, fried sausage, a few slices of toast, and a bowl of mutton and pea soup with mint.

Testia stood behind Elena, smelling the smell of fried meat in the air, and heard the crisp sound of knives and forks hitting the porcelain plate from time to time.

so hungry...

The stomach honestly reminded Testia that it was time to eat something, but thinking of her main job, the girl could only continue to endure, with her hands folded on her lower abdomen.

Unlike usual, Eileen seemed to be eating at a particularly slow pace today, chewing every bite slowly, and frowning from time to time.

After taking another sip of pea soup, the slightly salty shrimp powder smell lingered on the tip of her tongue. Finally, Elena couldn't help coughing, and some red spots appeared on her snow-white skin one after another.

It's so itchy... I feel uncomfortable all over my body...

Realizing that this body was starting to react, Elena supported the dining table with both hands, slowly stood up straight, and coughed uncontrollably.

"Ahem...who made this bowl of soup..."

Realizing that something was wrong, the maid in charge of making the soup stood up tremblingly, with a flustered expression.

"Reporting to Your Highness Elena, it's me."

Seeing that the required actors were ready, Elena took a deep breath, swung her right hand hanging beside her, knocking all the dishes on the table to the ground.

In an instant, the crisp sound of glass and porcelain shattering spread throughout the restaurant, the marble floor tiles were in a mess, and the ingredients and debris were mixed together.

"cough cough..."

Stretching out her hands to cover her pale lips, Eileen raised her voice with strong displeasure and anger.

"Who told you to put seafood in it?!"
