Chapter 21: The Universally Acclaimed Tenth Book
Chapter 21: The Universally Acclaimed Tenth Book
The tenth volume of "History of the Green Vines Empire" can be called a masterpiece of the emperor in this era.
In this era, paper was quite expensive, and printing press was an extremely sophisticated alchemical device.
However, there are many magicians in the empire, and the Queen of Eternal Night also intends to show her national strength and instructs the publication of 10,000 copies of "History of the Green Vines Empire".
In addition to the collection of the big and small libraries in the mysterious capital, other provincial capitals and important cities in the hometown of the seventeen countries should all collect this set of books.
The part that the people of the empire care about most is of course the tenth volume that records the Queen of Eternal Night.
That's a history that many people have personally experienced.
Everyone is very curious about what their real life in the past looks like in the history books.
For a while, "History of the Green Vines Empire" became a popular read, 10,000 sets seemed to be too many, but it was a drop in the bucket in the whole empire.
Is that the literacy rate of the civilian population in this era is not high, and there are also "bards" similar to oriental storytellers.
Now, the bards of the empire have found that no one listens to other tales, and the people are only interested in stories related to the queen.
And "History of the Green Vines Empire" really revealed a lot of things that people didn't know about in the past.
For example, the specific details of the Manyu City Incident, how did your Majesty grow from a little princess to the first queen of the kingdom, and she never died until she became a superhero...
Roger is not interested in the second half of the book, which swept the seventeen countries, but the people liked to hear about very much.
So refreshing, kill, kill, kill!
But in the eyes of more caring people, the growth of the queen in the first half of this volume is the essence of this tenth volume.
The nobles probably haven't felt much yet. More or less, they have also heard the elders mention some things from the past.
But the civilians were shocked.
It turns out that it was not all smooth sailing for her majesty to become the queen!
It turns out that Her Majesty has gone through so many risks and hardships, if the path she taken was wrong, there may have been no Green Vines Empire!
It turns out that her Majesty, is not invincible, she had also been confused and hesitant, and she doesn't know where the road ahead leads...
After the publication of the book "History of the Green Vines Empire", many people felt disillusioned with their idol. The Queen of Eternal Night was pulled down from the pedestal in their minds into the mortal world.
She was a cute little princess before, not a Queen.
How can it be repaired?
But there are more people of the empire, who love their majesty even crazier!
"Your Majesty, she has sacrificed too much for the Green Vines Empire, and she had to resort to extraordinary measures at a very momentary time. If you change to a cowardly one, we will all be gone!"
"The fourth prince is not a good person. He stole my family's fields, and His Majesty is the eternal God!"
"Your Majesty is too hard, too hard, but the body of a woman bears the weight of a country..."
"Always support our great majesty, she was originally an ordinary royal princess, and she became omnipotent only to protect the empire!"
"My father died in the famine of the fourteen towns, but I can't hate the queen. What if she didn't do that? She was just cleaning up the mess for those ignorant rulers, and those corrupt officials who ran out of granaries!"
"Lord Brando, who dares to write such a history book, is also a good person!"
In the end, the History of the Empire's tenth volume, which was thought to be controversial, actually received unanimous praise.
Many people said that the tenth volume may be expanded into a monograph in the future so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of the past and present life of the Queen of Eternal Night...
The bards complimented it.
Roger pretended not to see them cry.
If you say it, just make it up, isn't it that I have no face?
Such a response was also far beyond the Queen of Eternal Night's expectations.
She thought that once these things were deciphered, there would be people marching against her rule.
It turns out that she thought too much.
The people of the empire are more open-minded and understand her better than she imagined.
Of course, it is also possible that it is because even fools understand what power lies above the legend, and no one thinks that life is too long to provoke the people to destroy the queen's tyranny...
"Perhaps as Roger said, victory is justice. As long as I lead the empire to become stronger, the people will always love me..."
The Queen of Eternal Night stood on the terrace of the Palace, listening to the ministers reporting the feedback from all parties, and drank the ruby-like wine in the goblet.
Some things, for the sixteen-year-old little princess, were nightmares from the bottom of her heart, and every time she dreamed, she was covered in sweat.
She was very afraid that the world would know what the Queen they regarded as hope was like.
But now, the dark side that she didn't want the world to know was revealed to the public, and the green years that no one cared about were also revealed to the public.
History books have no position or bias, but those truths are revealed, and the most conclusive evidence chain is used to restore the past, and there is a powerful force that cannot be shaken...
The queen did not receive the nationwide scolding she expected. Instead, in a recent random street survey, it was confirmed that the public's support for her had increased by more than 20%.
Everyone felt that the queen was more like a human, more real, and more approachable, rather than the false idols of the past.
According to future generations, this is idol cultivation!
Everyone has more joy watching the little princess grow up!
Empress, that is the daughter of the people of the empire, she doesn't need to be flawless, isn't it better to have flesh and blood?
In short, the "History of the Green Vines Empire" was published, and the response was very good.
Many things that the Queen had been worried about did not happen.
So she was relieved a lot, and relaxed.
During this meditation, she had another breakthrough.
She even had thought she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and that Roger was the golden finger that God gave her.
"But how could someone be scolded by their own Goldfinger? It's outrageous just thinking of it!"
The Queen expelled this unreliable idea from her mind.
The next day, the government hall, the cabinet plenary meeting.
It was the first official meeting of this kind for the Minister for History Advisors, Dio Brando.
A few days ago, he was busy finishing the "History of the Ivy Empire" and then supervised the printing, so he didn't have time to attend meetings.
Now that the history book has achieved unprecedented success, he is also freed.
Naturally, he has to perform his duty as a minister of historiography.
Before the queen arrived, twelve ministers in the cabinet entered the palace one after another.
But now adding Roger, there are thirteen people in the cabinet.
Left Minister Margaret and the finance minister next to Roger changed seats and came to him.
Her charming little face came over and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Did you talk to Her Majesty about the Restoration Army?"
Roger didn't expect her to mention this at the first meeting and was stunned for a moment.
What did the queen say to the little ceiling fan?
Was I exposed?
I will become a public tree hole in the future (excited)?
Margaret was extremely smart, and Roger's reaction confirmed that he understood.
"Sure enough, it's you, the young civilian magician."
Margaret's eyes were relieved. This was the aide who gave the queen such a poisonous plan. He still did not escape the queen's kingly charm and joined the cabinet to work.
But she's also a little disappointed.
Originally, I wanted to share my worries for Her Majesty and lure him over.
In the end, Her Majesty took a step faster.
Roger didn't know how much Margaret knew, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
But rashly offending the left minister won't have any good result.
So he responds to all changes in the same way.
Holding a polite but embarrassed smile.
Did you guess?
Margaret took it as his agreement, and said eagerly: "Lord Brando if you can help me teach that blue-haired Virgin a lesson, I will give you a satisfactory reward."
Roger raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to smile.
I'll help you as a future undercover agent to deal with my relatives and sister?
Even with ten years of cerebral thrombosis, I won't make that kind of decision.
At this time, Angelina, the right minister, also arrived.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, she smiled lightly at Roger and said warmly: "The compilation of the history of the empire has been delayed until now, and the historian has been replaced for six consecutive terms. It has finally been completed, and it has been well received. Let us thank Dio Brando. Thank you for your sacrifice!"
She took the lead, and everyone applauded.
Even the most old-fashioned military minister put down his contempt for civilians and complimented Roger.
Roger was not moved and even felt bitter in his heart, feeling the urge to cry.
The guard outside the hall said loudly, "The Queen has arrived!"
