The cabinet ministers waited until the meeting was approaching before they received the temporary news that today's cabinet meeting was cancelled because the Queen of Eternal Night rushed to the abyss.
Just in case, the news of the battle between the Tianming Army and the Dark Night Guard is at a relatively high level of confidentiality. Only Roger and the Queen of the Night have full control of the inside information, and the rest of the departments are only cooperating to complete the relevant information.
Even in the cabinet, except for Roger, who attended as Dior, even Margaret was surprised that the Queen of Eternal Night suddenly ran into the abyss.
The small ceiling fan couldn't help but think, there are still many enemies around the empire, are you ready to open up the abyss now
[After conquering the abyss and absorbing more demons to become citizens of the empire, maybe I won't be so alone... ]
Inexplicably, she thought of the word "loneliness", subconsciously glanced at Dior sitting at the end of the conference table, and quickly retracted her gaze.
Margaret, you are still too weak after all, you must have said it dozens of times next time, why haven't you spoken about forming an alliance
You can't be so weak anymore!
Tomorrow is definitely the last time!
When the Queen was away, the Secretary-General arranged for everyone to discuss urgent matters that require coordination between different departments, and then announced the end of the meeting.
Everyone left the stage one by one, and Margaret called to Roger, who was walking in front of the door: "Master Dior, wait for me."
She wanted to talk to Dio about the possibility of His Majesty attacking the Abyss.
Angelina, who was packing up the documents, suddenly froze.
She had listened to the report of her subordinates. Recently, Margaret went to Dior's residence for breakfast every day.
However, at the cabinet meeting, there was not much communication between the two, and there seemed to be no more exchanges in other private occasions.
So it should be defined as, is this half-blooded little devil, shameless and unreserved to pester Dior
Hmph, the Devil's Brown Candy, it's like being shameless against yourself every day, this little devil is the kind of endless when he gets entangled.
A real imperial lady can't do such a troublesome act as she does!
Angelina immediately sympathized with Dior, thinking that Margaret's behavior could be considered workplace harassment.
Right relative to Dior has always been quite recognized.
Because of his talent, but also because he and his younger brother "have a very good personal relationship".
From Angelina's point of view, Roger started to exert his strength after getting to know Dior. In a short period of time, he quickly transformed from a trash younger brother to an imperial hero. His abilities and knowledge were like a different person.
This shows that Dior's influence on his younger brother must be very important. He is also a friend and a teacher. The Charles family owes him a huge favor.
After the bloody night of Odu, Margaret forced Roger to take over as the commander of the city defense army. It was Dio who took the initiative to save his brother from a disaster, and the Charles family owed him a favor.
Angelina had given Dio several gifts, but these could not repay him for helping his brother.
So Angelina once, as a friend, asked Dio if she needed help.
Unfortunately, Dior said that he did not worry about eating and drinking, there was nothing extra, and he needed to trouble the Right Prime Minister.
The failure to return favors, but in Angelina's view, Dior is the kind of noble man who has no desires and no desires, dedicated to the empire, and his evaluation has risen again.
She got up and left with the document in her hand, and saw that Margaret was still lingering around Dio, not knowing what she was chatting about, and a trace of anger arose in her heart.
As the chief assistant of the cabinet (the Prime Minister of the Right is higher than the Prime Minister of the Left, so it is correct to say so), she has the responsibility to ensure the atmosphere of the cabinet, and there can be no situation where the seniors bully the newcomers.
So Angelina walked three steps away from the two of them and coughed a few times to show her existence.
"Master Right Prime Minister, isn't it bad for you to eavesdrop on other people's speech?" Margaret turned her head back defiantly, staring at the blue-haired Virgin.
Roger's eyes were also very puzzled. Sister is not the kind of person who interrupts other people's conversations casually.
Angelina ignored Margaret and said to Roger: "Dior, the cabinet is not a place outside the law. If you encounter any unfair treatment, just tell me, and I will definitely uphold justice for you."
"Anjie, you think too much, and the kind of thing you think didn't happen." Dio replied with a smile, realizing that she had misunderstood that she was being bullied by the small ceiling fan.
Margaret listened to the nameless, what does this blue-haired Virgin mean, slandering me and bullying others
But she was more flustered than angry.
This is the first time Margaret has known that the relationship between Lord Dior and the Blue-haired Virgin is so close that they call out their names
When was it, silently, that the blue-haired Virgin ran in front of him again
On weekdays, she would definitely retort and quarrel with Angelina, but at this time, she only thought about her own caution, thinking about what kind of relationship between Lord Dior and Angelina.
Here, Angelina reminded, seeing Margaret bowing her head as if she was very guilty, conscious that the purpose of deterrence had been achieved, she bowed gracefully: "It's good if there is nothing I worry about, I won't disturb you for now. , Dior is free to come to Charles House to play, I will definitely entertain you."
Roger smiled embarrassedly and politely, saying in his heart that I know Charles House very well, and I don't need you to entertain me.
From start to finish, Angelina left without even looking at Margarita.
Margaret lowered her head and did not care about Angelina's face-lifting provocation.
"Lord Zuo Xiang, do you want to continue discussing the possibility of the Empire's invasion of the Demon World?" Dio's voice brought Margarita back to reality.
At the moment when she was in a daze, there was no one in the Hall of Government Affairs, only the two of them were left.
She raised her head, but compared to the usual proud and confident expression, the light in her eyes was extremely dim at this moment, and she whispered: "Master Dior, can you walk with me?"
"Okay." Roger didn't refuse.
He felt that Margaret's state was a little wrong. Could it be that she was slandered by Angelina, so she was sad
She's not that fragile, is she
However, since I'm going back to act with Tianming's tutor anyway, I'll stay with her for a while and don't really hit the child.
The two walked to the outside of the palace.
But even after walking out of the palace, Margaret still looked preoccupied and never spoke.
"Aren't you just pulling me to count steps together?" Roger asked half-jokingly.
Margaret, who had been hesitant and tangled all the time, showed a kind of determination, and she mustered up her courage and said, "Can I, can I call you Dior too?"
Roger froze for a moment.
Xindao, this little mixed-race devil is too careful, what Angelina has, you should have something too, right
He stroked his forehead helplessly: "Of course..."
Margaret, however, was sensitive to his emotions, and added: "Don't pity me, if this will cause you trouble, we can maintain the current relationship, and I... I won't go to breakfast every day. I'm bothering you."
Because of her loneliness since childhood, Margaret rarely thinks about others.
But Angelina's reminder made her realize that her actions may have been a burden in the eyes of others.
Her voice became smaller and smaller, her head drooped, her tail drooped, her two little hands grasping the skirt with such force, her skin was so white that it was almost transparent.
It was the first time that Roger discovered that the imperial left minister, who seemed to be covered in thorns, was so thin and petite, and he was like a helpless child in the face of the people he cared about.
Maybe because she didn't have childhood, in some ways, she was an idiot and never had a chance to grow up, so she was so naive
Roger suddenly felt a little distressed for her, his voice subconsciously softened, and said softly: "The trouble may indeed be there. That is, I have regarded you as a friend, I don't know yet, do you need a friend like me?"
"Of course... yes!" Margaret blurted out.
It turns out that eating and chatting together like this, is it already a friend
Roger couldn't help but chuckle. "So it's natural to call each other by name, Mary?"
The little devil's body trembled slightly, and he slowly raised his head. Seeing Dior's serious expression, his beautiful red eyes gradually regained their brilliance, and he said in surprise: "Thank you, Dior... I, I'm very happy, I thought you would Choose Angelina."
Roger spread his hands candidly: "It doesn't need to be a choice, she and I are also friends."
Margaret suddenly seemed extremely confused, and subconsciously told the truth: "How can you do this, I won't be friends with her! When I first asked you, I hoped that you could help me win more than Angeli from Your Majesty. Na's favor!"
"I am friends with her, and it has nothing to do with whether you are friends with her or not." Roger said earnestly, "It seems that you want to win His Majesty's favor and have nothing to do with His Majesty's impression of Angelina. The same relationship."
It's very simple. If someone else told Margaret, she would definitely not have the patience to listen.
The little devil and the Blue-haired Virgin are incompatible existences. Sooner or later, there will be me without her, and she without me!
But Dio was the friend she chose, the only friend she had grown up with, and Margaret really listened to what he said.
"Looks like... is it really like this? I don't really need to compete with Angelina?" The little devil followed Roger's train of thought and found that he seemed to have really gotten into the horns before, and then fell into self-doubt.
If that's the case, what hammer have I been fighting Angelina for all these years
Roger was afraid that she would not be able to accept this fact, so he couldn't think of it for a while, and interrupted her thinking at the right time: "Anyway, as a friend, if you want to win more of His Majesty's favor, I can help you."
"Really? That's great, it won't cause you any trouble, right?" Margaret was full of surprise and instantly forgot Angelina.
After waiting for so long and hesitating for so long, didn't I just want to get a promise like Dior
"Friends are all about helping each other. Besides, it's just a little effort." Roger said nonchalantly.
He didn't explain, it was the same reason, winning His Majesty's favor and suppressing Angelina were two things that had nothing to do with each other.
But such a promise was happy enough for Margaret, and she said earnestly, "I don't seem to have anything to help you at the moment, so I'll invite you to lunch, the restaurant is up to you."
Roger hadn't answered yet, when he suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart, and found that the surrounding streetscape seemed to be distorted, and the hustle and bustle of the market was getting further and further away from him.
Oops, I was so focused on chatting that I forgot that I had a date with Tian Mingjun.
It seems that because she was too slow to get home, Shady directly activated the backup plan and instead killed herself halfway
Moreover, this can take away the head of an extra half-blood demon
"My mentor, are you a little too greedy?" Roger whispered softly.
Margaret also vaguely noticed something, and pulled Roger's robe, her voice trembling a little: "Dior, have you noticed that the environment here is not right?"
She has seen different directions, there are subtle but powerful magical fluctuations, and a very brief battle is breaking out.
