On the bustling streets, it gradually became quiet with a beautiful figure passing by, and then there were the sounds of greetings one after another.

She was wearing a short double-breasted leather jacket and tight trousers made her tall figure undoubtedly reveal her. The knight boots on her feet made a crisp sound of footsteps when she stepped on the ground.

"Hey, Selena!" The fruit seller smiled and raised his hand to greet him, "Come on, try the kiwi I just arrived today."

"Uncle Carlos, you can eat it yourself!" Selena responded with a smile, "I was very full for breakfast today!"

"Brave, I really asked you to deliver things to me last time. Come on, let's give you this banana." An old lady handed over the things in her hand.

"No need, Grandma Hilary Lily!" Selena held the other person's hand and retreated, "Take this back for your grandson to eat."

"Selina, my son said he would join your army when he grows up." said the man selling bread next to him.

"Stop kidding Uncle Ferguson," Selena smiled bitterly, "I don't have my own troops now, I'm just a commander."

...

Almost everyone on the street greeted Selena, and she responded one by one.

Not far away, two children, a man and a woman, stood in the corner and watched all this, with a light of worship in their eyes.

"So amazing, brave!" The little girl held her hands in front of her chest, "Everyone respects her very much!"

"Well, and she likes us poor people from the bottom of her heart!" The little boy also nodded.

"How do you know?" the little girl asked in confusion.

"Didn't you notice?" the little boy turned his head, "She could call out the name of everyone who greeted her! This shows that she was serious about helping others!"

"It makes sense!" the little girl nodded.

…………

Selena greeted the people on the street and came to the Alchemy Guild. Apart from Niteya, she had no second friend in Hesler.

When I pushed open the heavy metal door of the laboratory, I was about to say something, and saw Nitia looking at her helplessly.

"You should thank yourself. If you came ten seconds later, the experiment started. If you were so scared by you, we might both be blown away." Niteya calmly put down the pink liquid in her hand.

"Who told you not to put an assistant at the door?" Selena walked to the chair next to her with indifferent expression and sat down, resting her legs on the table.

"I hope you brought some good things today!" Netiya pushed the brim of her hat upwards, "I didn't deliberately eat breakfast!"

"Compared to my friend, you only care about the snacks my fiancé gave me?" Selena asked.

"The food is much more attractive than you," Niteya shrugged, "It doesn't matter if you don't want it!"

"Don't even think about it!" Selena waved her hand, and the ring on her hand flashed, and a bunch of snacks appeared on the table. "And he would only make it with care when making snacks for me."

"That's not necessarily!" Netiya sat opposite Selena and opened a paper box, "This is the cookie you mentioned last time, right?"

"Well, the thin one next to me is called potato chips. I think that one is a little bit more delicious." Selena nodded.

"Yes." Nitia picked up a biscuit and put it in her mouth, nodded, "This thing is good and can be eaten as a meal!"

"Sometimes it can." Selena shrugged.

"This..." Nitia tasted potato chips again, "It's really better than cookies!"

"You should only try that cream cake, it's simply a delicious food on earth!" Selena smiled, "I couldn't believe there was such a delicious thing before."

"As for it..."

At first, Nitia looked disbelieving, but after taking a bite, her eyes lit up.

Selena seemed to have known this reaction for a long time, grinned and picked up the water cup next to her and drank water on her own.

"Okay, it's really delicious in the world. I shouldn't doubt your fiancé!" Netiya didn't mind that it smelled so good.

"He said he would make me something called candied haws next time," Selena put down the water cup, "bring it back to you to try."

"Well..." Nitia nodded, then looked at the other food items, "This morning, the bodies of the two people were found."

"You didn't leave any traces?" Selena also looked serious, "If her description is correct, she should be an official figure, and she might have carefully investigated it."

"Don't worry!" Nitia looked confident, "I won't let the dead cause trouble for me."

"That's good!"

………………………………………

At the same time, in a secret room.

Secretary of Military Affairs Judson knelt on one knee, and a man sat on the stone chair in front of him.

Although there are luminous stones on the top of the head, it is a bit difficult to see the person's face. Only from the outline can he be seen that he is tall and strong.

Sitting on a stone chair, he supported the armrest with his right hand against his chin, put his left leg on his right leg, and looked at Judson in front of him.

"You mean, those two people died?" His voice was very heavy, with an inexplicable pressure.

"Yes!" Judson did not dare to look up and looked at him, but just looked at the other person's knees, "and it seemed that he had been forced to confess before his death."

"That's how..." The other party couldn't hear the emotion in his tone, "What's your clue?"

"I think it's a brave man..."

"Are you kidding?" the other party asked, "Do you think she can do this?"

"The Braves do not, but Lyon and Andrew have been fighting with her for almost ten years..." Judson continued.

"If it were those two people, it was indeed possible..." the other party pondered, "But the possibility is not high. If it were them, it would be impossible to throw the body on the street."

“You mean…”

"Lyon is the leader of the Magicians, and Andrew is also a veteran of the Knights. With their abilities, it is very easy to make the two bodies disappear, so there is no need to throw them on the street."

"Is it possible that Selena's admirer?" Judson said, "After all, there are many people who like him..."

"That's something you need to investigate!" The figure opposite waved.

"Yes! The eldest prince..." Judson bowed his head and saluted.

"Hmph, brave!" The lower half of the prince's face appeared from the shadow, showing an arrogant smile, "I can find something for her with this matter for the time being."

………………………………………

"So, you didn't let me get rid of the body just to lure the people behind you out?" Nitia asked with a piece of chocolate stuffed in her mouth.

"Well, although the possibility is not great, I want to give it a try." Selena nodded, "There are too many people in the palace who want to target me, and I have to find a way to narrow it down further."

"It's no wonder that others are," Nitia smiled. "You have been on the battlefield as a brave man since you were twelve years old, and have made countless contributions to the empire. Even if you are jointly restricted by the church and the court, this contribution and qualifications are too great, and your voice is too high!"

"On the other hand, even with such a high voice, I still can't really form my own power..." Selena shook her head, "I'm still doing it too slowly, too far from the target!"

"Don't push yourself too hard!" said Nitia. "Sometimes there is nothing wrong with stopping and resting."

"I understand the truth!" Selena smiled bitterly, "But it is not that easy to do."

"Forget it, is there anything else to do besides this thing next?" asked Nitia.

"Soil and nourish and prepare for the next war!" Selena said, "I must discuss with him whether I can seize a piece of territory. I need to consolidate my position."

"I think it's best not to do it. You can even lose a big game." Niteya looked up.

"What's the meaning?"

"You are Dikao's fiancée. If you ask for territory for him, he will most likely agree, but this will cause him a lot of trouble." Niteya said, "His territory is very small for Kasger. His war with you has not made much progress in the past five years. If you lose another territory now, his prestige against his subordinates will be reduced."

"..." Selena frowned, "This is indeed a problem. I can't let him lose his prestige for me."

"Yes, don't consider whether you have true love," Nitia took a sip of water. "From the perspective of cooperation, if you want to get his help, you must make him stronger."

"He and I are true love!" Selena said, "But what you said does make sense, but I guess the next war will begin no more than three months."

"You can find a way to delay it for a while and give him a chance to rest." Niteya said, "Let him use this time to consolidate his strength, and then the next time you lose another game, your chance will come."

"Are you wrong?" Selena asked, "How could I have a chance if I failed?"

"You are at the center of the incident and cannot see through the essence of the matter!" Netiya shook her head, "If you lose a lot, the emperor can't do anything to you. At most, you will remove your position. But if others lead troops to fight the Demon King, you can let Dikao kill them all, so in desperation the emperor can only re-activate you, and at this time you can make the conditions!"

"..." Selena was silent for a while before she raised her head, "You mean, I have never been able to form a force now, because it was going too smoothly every time?"

"Hmm!" Netiya nodded, "You must let the emperor know your importance before he can give you what you want."

"really……"

"You need to do two things now!" said Nitia. "First, find a way to buy him time to expand his strength. Second, suffer a few small defeats or a big defeat."

"Then let the emperor understand that I am indispensable, so as to give me more rights to form my own power!"

"That's right!"

"But what if the emperor sends someone to ask the church for help..."
