Barcelona, ​​Ella Cornelius Scipio of the Seven Hills Empire, is also full of majesty today.

She sat on the throne in purple robe, with a crown made of pure gold on her head. Six priceless emeralds were decorated in six corners of the crown, and more than two hundred small pearls were inlaid around the gems. Four pearl tassels hung from the crown, decorating her rare and beautiful blonde hair.

"So, you still haven't found out the source of the Emilius family's funds?"

Ella asked with a frown.

Prime Minister Hartmann is 67 years old. He is flexible and sophisticated in his work and meticulous, but now he can only answer like this: "Go to your Majesty... we have not found any suspicious places at the moment."

Emilius was an ancient family in the Republic of Seven Hills, but gradually declined after the Republic of Seven Hills became the Empire of Seven Hills. Their last descendants operated a small piece of land near Bresis, and had not obtained any official position in the palace for nearly a hundred years and were becoming increasingly poor. However, they have suddenly become rich for some reason, and have acquired many lands near Bresis, built a city wall outside their manor, built a small castle, and even raised private soldiers. Bresis was only one to two days away from Constantinier, the capital of the Empire of Seven Hills. This suddenly revived ancient family was like a thorn in the throat to Ella. She had sent people to investigate the source of funds for the Emilius family for a year, but she had nothing to do.

Ella photographed the throne: "I'm fed up with your sneaky investigation. There must be a problem with their funding source. Can't we forcefully break into their manor and search?"

Hartmann replied meaningfully: "Your Majesty, you should know the consequences of doing so."

Ella took a long breath of anger. He knew what Hartmann was referring to. The regime of the Seven Hill Empire has changed frequently in the past few hundred years. Governors and generals in various parts of the empire have their own private soldiers. "The strong and powerful are kings" seems to be some potential inheritance method. She had just ascended the throne for a year and was not rich, and she was a woman. If she made such a move that she forced her to search without evidence, she would definitely be considered a tyrant. At that time, she would not only lose her throne, but also lose her life.

"Then I won't mention this matter today. You can continue to investigate." She waved her hand powerlessly to signal Hartman to retreat. But she was so embarrassed in front of the ministers that she was a little unacceptable. She glanced at Berengal who was standing on the side of the palace, and changed the subject and said:

"I heard that the merchants on the street were talking about a group of fierce pirates attacking several nearby cities one after another and were approaching the capital. Why did I not receive a report?"

The commander of the Imperial Guard, Berengal, commanded the army for the Qiqiu Empire since Ella's father was still alive, commanding more than 30 major and large battles, but never lost, and had a very high prestige in the army. The Imperial Guard with 10,000 people in his hands is the only classically established elite legion retained by the Qiqiu Empire, which is much more elite than the field army, border guards and the "Barbarian Alliance" troops in various places.

Hearing Ella's question, the commander of the Imperial Guard, Berengal, hurriedly kneeled down and replied:

"Your Majesty, that is not an ordinary pirate. Hestein, the lord of the pirate kingdom, nicknamed "King of Beasts". They come and go quickly, and they have already fled by boat before our army arrives. Their ships are advanced than us, and our ships cannot catch up with them. But I think, in terms of combat capabilities, it is just a group of mobs. If they dare to attack the capital, I will let them know how powerful we are!"

Berengal was the commander of the army. His words were equivalent to placing all the blame on the Navy. The commander of the Navy, Olus Junius Brutus, was a member of Brutus, the largest family in the Seven Hills Empire, except Scipio. Apart from Sempio, he had been there for a long time, and even if Ella wanted to blame him, he could not find anyone.

Ella leaned on her head and thought for a while: "Then, can those pirates fight for us? We will fight against the Tianfang Empire in the future, and the more troops the better."

"Aira, pirates are just pirates after all, and they should be hanged according to the laws of the empire."

One person stood up and denied Ella's opinion. The man who called Ella's name was Su Cornelius Scipio, who was Eira's uncle and was currently the chief steward of the palace. After Ella's parents died unexpectedly, he helped the young Ella to stabilize the nobles of all factions in the country and stabilize the throne. Until Ella became an adult, she was deeply trusted by Ella.

Since my uncle said that, Ella could only sigh and said, "Since the law is written, then forget it."

The two consecutive concessions made Ella feel extremely unhappy. She was thinking about the way to shake the ministers in her mind. She remembered another rumor, suddenly sank her face and swept over everyone present with her most sharp eyes:

"I also heard something interesting - the ambassador sent by the Tianfang Empire arrived in the capital yesterday and is currently visiting the Prime Minister's residence. Hartman, is this true?"

The Tianfang Empire and the Qiqiu Empire have been fighting for hundreds of years and are the archenemy of the Qiqiu Empire. As soon as Ella said this, everyone was shocked and they all turned their eyes to Hartman. Hartman hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, I am preparing to report this matter. The Tianfang Empire's army is much stronger than us, and it also has several powerful magicians. And we... have never had a 'elves' level magician since the death of the previous king and the queen. I think since they are willing to send envoys to come, we must seize this opportunity..."

Seeing Hartman's trembling look, Ella finally felt proud. She waved her hand with great courage and ordered: "Get out the eyes of that messenger and throw them back to the Tianfang Empire!"

Hartman was startled by Ella's words and said in a trembling voice: "Dear Barcelona... that is the most powerful country on the Hetray continent at present, and we... are no longer the powerful Seven Hills Empire eight hundred years ago!"

"Hartman, do you remember how the former king and queen died?"

Ella's scolding scared Hartmanl quickly lowered his head.

"Hartman, look up! You answer me, how did the former king and the queen die?"

"Yes... Is he invited to go to the Tianfang Empire to negotiate trade, but was imprisoned and executed for no reason!"

"We are no longer the Seven Hill Empire eight hundred years ago, why?"

"Yes... it was invaded by the Tianfang Empire, its national strength was empty, and the northern barbarians took advantage of the opportunity to fall into pieces and eventually fell apart! But Your Majesty, we were unable to stop the Tianfang Empire hundreds of years ago, and now we..."

"Okay, then leave his eyes."

Hartman was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Ella pouted and snorted, and continued:

"Cast him instead!"

Leaving the trembling Hartman, Ella Cornelius Scipio strode out of the chamber under the escort of the guards.

The one who escorted Ella were six tall and mighty guards. Each of them was carefully selected by Ella's uncle from the Colosseum, and each of them was said to have won the championship of the Athletic Conference. They were loyal and defended their queen unfavorably for a moment.

Ella's destination is her bedroom.

The guards who escorted her stopped far away in the corridor leading to the bedroom, and the two maids opened the bedroom door for her. In the door was an extremely luxurious room decorated with porphyry columns and hung with purple silk.

As soon as Ella entered the door, she threw Wang Crown onto the bed, threw herself into the pile of books that were almost filled with the room, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Her Majesty the Queen looks so tired, she must have quarreled with the ministers in the cabinet again, right?"

"Who made them not take me seriously at all. I am Barcelona after all, but I feel that I am not even as good as the chief of the United Emirates of Almani." Ella muttered. Then she turned over and looked at the source of the voice - her personal maid, Amy.

"Also, how many times have I said it, don't call me the queen in private, but call me the princess! Queen, this word sounds like an older aunt no matter how you sound!"

"Even if Her Majesty said that, His Majesty was already the queen five years ago, and she was still an adult last year. In addition, today is His Majesty's birthday, which means Her Majesty is one year older..."

"Enough! Enough! You don't need to remind me of my own age! I have calculated by hour!" Ella scratched her hair in distress, rolled a few times in the pile of books like a child, then suddenly sat up and pointed at Amy with an unhappy face: "Amy, I want to punish you! I will order you to reduce your bust ten centimeters with Baselisa's authority!"

"Your Majesty, please don't say such an impossible thing!" Amy was shocked and finally cut off the "Queen" two sons from "Your Majesty".

"How is it impossible! Don't think I don't know, you rely on the protection of Aphrodite to be so...this...this is so big!"

Although she is the same age as Ella, Amy's body is extremely plump. In comparison, Ella's body is like a small chick without development.

"No, it's not OK. It's not possible to reduce it by just ten centimeters to you at all. I'll reduce it by twenty...thirty...no, I can relieve myself by 150 centimeters!"

"That's going to get stuck!" Amy screamed: "And your Majesty, 'Aphrodite' does not have this function at all!"

"No...no?" Ella seemed to be hit hard, and she picked up her legs and shivered in the corner of the wall and shivered: "I...I thought that as long as I successfully learned magic and obtained Aphrodite's protection, I would be as big as Amy..."
