Her Royal Highness immediately began to obediently open the letters. The style of these letters looked very fancy, and many of them had conspicuous tail feathers of magical beasts pinned on them. Those kinds of fancy words that were specially used for decoration made Her Royal Highness look very strenuous.
Frowning slightly, Flora opened a few letters. However, she realized that the contents were all empty and unrealistic. Many of them did not even consider the most basic of people's lives. This also made her understand why her father rarely read these letters one by one. It was because 80% of the contents were useless. They did not have any practical meaning.
"I suggest that Ronan district increase the carriage rental fees by fifty percent. This will help reduce traffic hazards."
"Farmland tax should be completely exempted. Otherwise, the farmers of Columbine Territory will not be able to survive!" and so on.
Putting down the letter, Flora sighed and reached for the next letter. However, she suddenly felt that this letter was very simple.
Letters in this continent did not have envelopes. They were directly folded and sealed with wax. The recipient's address would be written on the outer surface of the letter.
The letters Flora had received before were thick and sturdy. They also emitted a light fragrance. Many of them were even treated with magic potions. A single piece of paper was worth more than the same quality of silver!
However, the letter in her hand was very rough. The words on it did not have the many twists and turns and embellishments. It looked similar to the usual writing style, but there were some slight differences.
However, the handwriting was very neat and tidy. It made Flora feel a lot better.
"Signature: Baron. Many."
Flora was about to flip it open, but she suddenly froze.
She slowly flipped the letter back and read it carefully a few times. She was sure that the word "many" was written on it.
For some reason, Flora suddenly felt her heart beating faster.
She looked up at her father who was resting with his eyes closed. Flora's small hands were slightly trembling. She turned the letter over expectantly.
There seemed to be something growing in her heart. Flora did not know what kind of feeling it was. When she saw the signature on the letter, she suddenly felt that after she parted ways with the baron who had been protecting her all this time, the "little anger" in her heart had turned into … longing?
Bullsh * t!
Why do I miss him?
Flora said to herself in her mind, but she couldn't help but imagine the scene of her in her tiny underwear in front of him. She suddenly felt her face heat up.
This big bastard!
Flora took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind. Did he write it just for me?
Girls always liked to let their imaginations run wild, especially this kind of silly girl who had no experience in love at all.
"Oh?
It seems like something has piqued our little princess's interest. "
Charnak opened his eyes slightly and looked at Flora with interest. "Don't tell me there's a love letter for my daughter?"
"Daddy!
You're making fun of me again! "
Flora lowered her head as if she was trying to hide something. She cleared her throat and opened the letter to read it carefully.
After a while, Flora's face suddenly turned serious. She handed the letter to her father. "The baron has a lot of letters. I think you should take a look at them."
"Hmm?"
Charnak took the letter and sat up straight. He used the light from the magic ceiling lamp to read the letter carefully. There was not much content in the letter. There weren't any flowery descriptions or superfluous words. Charnak's expression did not change, but he immediately stood up.
"You have met a brave and knowledgeable nobleman, my daughter. You should feel fortunate."
Charnak said something to ease the atmosphere, but it made Flora even more speechless. She blushed and sat there, not knowing what to do.
The old emperor smiled and signaled for Flora to stop for the day. He then immediately asked his servants to invite the dean of Dahlmann Magic Academy to Sissevair Palace. He said he had something important to discuss.
The reason why Charnak did not hesitate to invite his old friend, the kingdom's number one magus, Sith, to Sissevair Palace was because the news brought by this letter was no small matter!

"Many barons?"
Victoria stopped flipping through the documents and blinked. She sat up straight and continued to ask, "When did he come?"
The old butler was stunned, then looked at the note in his hand.
This note was used to record the information that needed to be reported to Count every day. Count had to listen to the incidents that happened in Sibor every day and make some targeted decisions.
However, this piece of information that should have been passed down made Count stop what he was doing. The old butler squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. He replied, "He did not write anything. Maybe there was no other content in this message in the past two days."
"Oh."
Victoria's eyes dimmed slightly. She wanted to continue flipping through the documents, but she found that she could not stand it anymore. She stood up and stretched her back. She sighed and walked to the window to look out of Sibor.
It was dusk. Victoria could see the dimly lit lights in Sibor Castle. Everything was as usual. However, Female Count was thinking about other things.
It had been a long time since they parted ways in Xiilias City. Many of the promises were still vivid in her mind, but Victoria was still nervous. Because this mercenary, or rather, the baron's attitude was always unpredictable. There was no doubt about his potential, but it had been so long. Would he remember the promise?
Shouldn't he at least pay her a visit out of courtesy?
Victoria thought about it and felt that it was unlikely. This baron did not seem to have the habit of being polite. If there was something, he would say it. If there was nothing else, he should leave.
After standing quietly for a while, Victoria drove all the thoughts out of her mind and started to review the documents again.

"Ma … Madam …?"
Elena stammered as she looked around. The pitch-black darkness made Elena a little helpless.
This was the first time the businesswoman experienced the legendary "magic transmission." When she followed Madam Vasaki and many others to the slum and saw the gorgeous magic transmission array, Elena suddenly felt that she seemed to be gradually coming into contact with a level she had never heard of … or a "circle."
In her previous life, Madam Vasaki had always been the manager of a tailor's shop. Although she had witnessed the fight between her and the mysterious flying woman, Elena, as a mortal, did not understand the world of these top masters and their secrets.
Today, the door was finally opened to her. This also meant that while she gained the trust of the baron, she was also on the same boat as Madam Vasaki and many others.
The feeling of weightlessness did not make Elena scream like other women, but the darkness that followed made her a little afraid. The fear of the unknown was always a human weakness.
"Relax, it's okay."
Madam Vasaki gently held her hand, and then soft light suddenly appeared around them. Elena squinted her eyes and looked around, only to find that it was a huge stone room. The surroundings were actually illuminated by low-level magic crystals embedded in the magic array!
"Thanks to you and many others, the conditions here are much better than before. Although the torches are cheap, they will affect the elements in the air after burning for a long time. Now they have finally been replaced."
Madam Vasaki's voice was faint, but with a strong sense of gratitude.
"It's what I should do, madam."
Many of them looked around with great interest. This place had changed a lot since the first time they had come here, and they couldn't even recognize it.
The madam turned around and smiled charmingly at Many. Many almost lost his soul. The smile was too lethal. Whether he absorbed the dragon skeleton or not, he could not bear it. Then the madam gently said to Many, "Welcome to this place, the City of Medusa in Oditore."
"Oditore?" Many felt that it was a little difficult to react.
"Medusa?" Elena also looked at Madam Vasaki in bewilderment.
Athena snorted behind them as if she was a little excited.
