The door was closed gently.

Wen Lin relaxed, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves outside the window could be vaguely heard in the quiet room.

The tiredness became more and more obvious, but Wen Lin's consciousness was extraordinarily clear. Thinking of all the things that happened between her and Vicia in the past few days, it was hard to fall asleep.

In a drowsy time, her eyes fell on the bookshelf, which was full of books.

Wen Lin walked over curiously, picked out a book at random, a very unfamiliar text, turned a few pages, and there were notes written in Golan beside it.

"As soon as people believe that there is some mysterious power that can bring prosperity or adversity, there is worship in this world. This is human nature."*1

Wen Lin took out several books one after another, all of them with different texts. Looking at the notes above, Wen Lin found that the contents were also quite different.

It involves religion, clothing, customs of other countries, and even a pirate story.

On the last page of the book, Wen Lin found this comment,

"Pirates often mean greed, plunder, and death, but there are exceptions, and perhaps freedom, unyielding, ambition."

Rubbing the ink with my hand, it is not difficult to see that it was written not long ago.

Turning around, Wen Lin slowly looked around

Looking at the whole room, she walked slowly to the wardrobe, opened it, and saw all the luxurious and precious clothes, including formal dresses and loose regular clothes.

Closing the cabinet door, Wen Lin pursed her lips.

There are all kinds of signs that show the traces left by another person.

The rumored Her Majesty Vicia is not only good at horsemanship, archery, eagle control... but also masters many languages.

The answer seems self-evident.

The oil lamp was shaking, and Wen Lin seemed to see Visia sitting in front of the desk in a trance, holding a quill in her long fingers, writing these words with concentration and seriousness.

The closer you get, the harder it seems to be attracted.

The more patience, restraint, and calmness, the more inexplicable emotions surging in the bottom of my heart.

Wen Lin's heart gradually picked up the rhythm, and for the first time she clearly realized that she might not just admire Vicia.

But what else is there?

Is it love?

As soon as this idea came up, it was mercilessly denied by Wen Lin. Talking about illusory love with a monarch is no different from being slaughtered.

She must not put herself in such a dangerous and embarrassing situation.

I don't know how long I've been standing there, when familiar footsteps came from outside the door, and the light in Wen Lin's eyes flickered quietly.

She walked slowly to the door, pressing her hand against the door, listening to the footsteps outside the door, the sound of conversation, the sound of the door closing...

Wen Lin thought that she would continue to fall into chaos, escape, and entanglement, but unexpectedly, after the slightly dull sound of the door closing, her particularly calm thinking seemed to slowly return with the suddenly quiet air. .

Between her and Vicia, it originated from mutual use.

It is a relationship that is tightly attached to interests and strong.

They all know clearly that this limit cannot be easily crossed.

Her thoughts were stagnant for a few seconds, and Wen Lin suddenly thought of the promise she had made to her in Ampton Palace, that she would always bow her knees and never betray her.

And apart from the blurry pictures in the bathroom for a few moments, she and Vicia have no other intimate entanglement.

It seemed that the thick fog that had been bothering Wen Lin was slowly being cleared away.

The wind blew her fingertips slightly cold, and the logic was clearly deduced in her mind.

The time, place, a clear understanding of herself, and the subsequent revengeful actions of Vicia all seem to point to the fact that no intimate entanglement really occurred between them.

As for the promise she made in Vicia's mouth, Wen Lin suddenly laughed, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

Use all available opportunities in order to achieve your own goals, this is the way of doing things that is in line with Queen Vicia's style.

Brushing off the broken hair that fell from her forehead, Wen Lin walked back to the bed unhurriedly, sighed, and fell into the air very lightly.

A high wall stood invisibly between her and Vicia again.

On the second day, Wen Lin was woken up early by the movement from the next door.

There was a hazy drowsiness in his eyes, and he rubbed his eyes several times, but it didn't go away.

The sunlight outside the window was thin, and the lush trees seemed to have fallen into the ink that had not yet completely melted, covered with a dark color, and it should not be six o'clock.

Wen Linfu closed her eyes again. It was already in the middle of the night when Vicia came back from the council hall last night, and she woke up so early today. It seems that something troublesome happened recently.

Several guesses quickly flashed through her mind, Wen Lin thought about it randomly, until Bessie and Namare knocked on the door.

As before, wash up, eat breakfast, and then decide for yourself what to do with the rest of the day.

Wen Lin was in a very embarrassing position in the royal court. She didn't have a clear position and could only pretend to be an Oriental guest.

And Vicia is often absent because of government affairs, and at the same time, in order to avoid it, Wen Lin will not take the initiative to find her.

This is not a long-term solution.

Wen Lin thought about it. According to the current situation, she will stay in Brunz for a long time. She can't be so passive all the time. A fixed territory and reliable citizens are essential.

She decided to find a time to talk to Vicia about this matter. After all, it should not be difficult to exchange a few pieces of land on the outskirts of the capital with a boatload of gold that she had confiscated.

Inevitably, Wen Lin thought of Yinhe Village.

The hygiene awareness and hygiene situation in the village are not optimistic. Although this is a very common phenomenon on the Europa Road, and Wen Lin was mentally prepared, she was still shocked after seeing it with her own eyes last night.

After owning the territory, this is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

Looking at the wine on the table, Wen Lin raised her eyebrows slowly. She reached for the wine jug, opened the lid and took a sniff.
