The moment she said this, the maids were instantly moved to tears. Her brother's eyes also shone with excitement. "Really, little sister? So that's what you think."
However, since they had already received Miranda's formal transfer order, they couldn't just ignore it. So the girl immediately blinked at her and greeted her. The next second, all of Miranda's basic information appeared before her eyes.
In addition, while learning about Miranda, she unexpectedly triggered the additional effect of her skill. Then Miranda's inner voice appeared right in front of her. It turned out she actually found the girl's blinking expression so cute that it had captured her, but she was trying hard to keep herself from being bewitched.
Seeing her like this, her brother looked extremely displeased. "You dare ignore my sister's greeting? It seems the maids of the queen's palace are nothing special after all."
The maids at the side immediately echoed her brother's words. "That's right. His Highness the prince is absolutely right. To receive such a cute greeting and still remain unmoved. Clearly, she's lacking in quality."
At the same time, her brother began to suspect Miranda's motives. "Could it be that you harbour improper desires toward the princess and deliberately sneaked in here?"
When Miranda heard him lay bare her secret with one pointed remark, she grew so nervous she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet. At that moment, the girl suddenly lunged toward her. Then she grabbed her hand and showed a sweet smile.
"Miranda, from now on, stay here and keep me company, okay?"
That adorable little expression instantly captured Miranda's heart. She fell for her on the spot. Indeed, a simple-minded girl like Miranda just didn't have the talent to be a spy.
Very soon, the system also issued a new quest. As long as she could make Miranda willingly defect, she would obtain an S-rank item. For the sake of this item, the girl decided she was going to win Miranda over no matter what.
After that, Miranda was assigned to guard the magic wand storeroom. At first, she was very resistant. She still had to hurry and complete the task her aunt had given her. Her aunt had told her to infiltrate the princess's palace to deliver information to her, and then look for an opportunity to take control of the princess's palace. Only then would the two of them, aunt and niece, have a chance to rise to high positions. By then, she would be the queen's niece.
But now she had ended up as a servant who spent all day polishing magic wands. This was just way too ridiculous. How was she supposed to report back to her aunt like this?
Although Miranda thought this way, she quickly adapted to life guarding the magic wand storeroom, and even began to enjoy it. Even in her letters reporting to her aunt, she kept writing about how much she adored her current job. She nearly made Lady Nice's face twist with rage.
Originally, Lady Nice thought this stupid niece would be easy to use. But unexpectedly, she had instead planted a hidden danger for herself. Fortunately, the girl didn't know too much, so Lady Nice simply stopped worrying about her. It was just that after the brother had completely wiped out the spies she had planted in the prince's palace last time, the head attendant had become exceptionally strict about the selection of servants. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before she was pushed out. And yet the niece she had finally managed to plant at the girl's side was so utterly useless. What was she supposed to do from now on?
On the other side, after carefully inspecting the newly delivered magic wands, the brother gave Miranda high praise. Miranda was also deeply relieved that the girl could now play safely with the magic wands. After all, she had polished them a full thirty-three times.
But in her heart, she still couldn't help complaining about her aunt's lack of appreciation. Clearly, guarding the princess's adorable smile was such a meaningful, mission-filled task. Yet her aunt told her not to report such trivial, irrelevant information again. She wondered whether her aunt had still been secretly wearing the queen's clothes lately. But at this point, she really had no idea what her aunt had sent her here for in the first place.
All these little secret thoughts in her heart were completely seen through by the girl, because the additional effect of the skill had no usage limit. During this time, she had already gotten to know Miranda in depth. Therefore, she completed the quest to subdue Miranda in just half a month.
Just as she was about to claim her quest reward, the system popped up a new mission. This time, the quest was actually protect daddy's chastity.
It turned out the ever scheming Lady Nice, still dreaming of becoming queen, had started up new tricks again. She knew that woman was like an unkillable cockroach. And now she actually dared to set her sights on her daddy. This time she was absolutely going to drive her out of the palace so she could never come back.
That day, the girl was having afternoon tea with her daddy and her brother. On the surface, it was everyone sitting together drinking tea and chatting. But in reality, it was her daddy and brother frantically feeding the girl. On one side, daddy fed her a bite of dessert. He even remembered to wipe her mouth for her. On the other side, brother handed the prepared tea to the girl.
After the girl had eaten and drunk her fill, she suddenly remembered something. She immediately raised her little hand and said to her daddy, "All right, daddy. There's something I want to do."
The moment daddy and brother heard this, they immediately told her to say it. Even if she wanted to pluck the stars from the sky, they would try their best to fulfil her wish.
The girl merely asked to go and have a look at mommy's room.
When daddy heard this, he let out a relieved smile. "Daddy really should have taken you to see it long ago. There just never seemed to be a right moment."
The next second, daddy scooped the girl up into his arms. Then he reached his hand out toward his son. "Lienne, let's go together."
Seeing the three of them so happy and harmonious together, the nursemaid's eyes instantly reddened. She had finally lived to see this day. For a long time before, mentioning the queen had been forbidden in the palace. But now the girl had changed all that. The nursemaid believed that from now on their family would only grow happier and happier.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lady Nice was completely unaware of all this. She was still happily sneaking around in mommy's clothes.
"As I thought, this crown suits me best of all. Things should go smoothly this time too. After all, I already pulled it off once before, but back then Grand Duke Bellon gave the chance to another woman. Now all of this will be mine."
Just as Lady Nice was indulging in her dream of becoming queen, the door to the room was suddenly opened. Then the girl's family appeared before her, just like that.
Seeing daddy, Lady Nice turned deathly pale with fright. Daddy calmly handed the girl in his arms over to brother. Then, with a dark expression, he looked at Lady Nice.
"You actually dared to steal the queen's clothes."
The moment daddy's words fell, a magic attack grazed Lady Nice and struck the wall behind her. Lady Nice was so frightened that she collapsed onto the floor.
Then daddy ordered people to carefully remove from her body the clothes that belonged to mommy. He then shot a sidelong glance at the maids kneeling nearby.
"So this is why you kept obstructing me from entering the room again and again."
The maids trembled with fear. "Your Majesty, you wrong us."
