A World-Famous Painting: Theresa at Work. / It's All the Demon King's Fault!

Seeing the three chatting and laughing, Kal'tsit ultimately decided not to stay any longer.

I was preoccupied with worries until nightfall.

"Kal'tsit, you seem to have something on your mind."

Theresia, who had drunk a little wine in her excitement, looked at her cat with rosy cheeks.

"Your Highness, how do you regard your personal reputation?"

For some reason, Kal'tsit suddenly asked.

"Everyone values their reputation, right?"

Theresia didn't quite understand what her cat meant.

Chapter 152 World Famous Painting: Theresia at Work.

Kal'tsit raised her hands, making an analogy. "If Your Highness were to sell your dignity to serve someone, it would be in exchange for the prosperity of all of Kazdel..."

"To be a maid? In my opinion, it's just a very ordinary job. If it can bring prosperity to the whole country, I'm naturally very willing..."

Kal'tsit sighed. "Your Highness, if we're talking about normal maids, the daily work is just a little tiring. Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to mention the word 'dignity.' I'm talking about the indecent kind."

"Just like in that Noble Lord's house..."

An indecent... maid.

Theresia's delicate and beautiful face flushed even more as something suddenly popped into her head.

Having lived for so long, I still don't know much about that kind of thing.

But it's not like they really know nothing at all. After all, human imagination is limitless, especially when one has had a few drinks.

"I remember Kal'tsit told me before that results obtained through improper means will inevitably be bad. I personally don't care, but who can guarantee that the country will truly become prosperous and strong after I lose my dignity?"

"Unless I can be 100% certain, I won't choose to do this. After all, it's ultimately entrusting Kazdel's future to someone else and gambling on their mercy, without any guarantees..."

In fact, for the sake of her country, Theresia wouldn't care about her own dignity.

But the problem is that no one guarantees that losing one's dignity will result in receiving what one deserves.

After all, she doesn't have God's perspective and can't see the good and evil in everyone. The Black Crown isn't effective on everyone.

If you can't see clearly whether this so-called sale of dignity is a genuine exchange or a conspiracy, you might end up losing both your dignity and your resources.

Therefore, we cannot place our hopes for the entire nation on the wishful thinking of others...

Theresia looked at Kal'tsit with a serious expression. "So what happened? Why are you suddenly saying such strange things... Did the noble who hired you bully you?"

Kal'tsit said somewhat wistfully, "It's nothing. I had a little to drink, and my head isn't quite clear right now. I just suddenly thought about this."

Alas, if only Master Huang's feelings for His Highness were unrequited love, but unfortunately, all he felt was a thirst for power.

But speaking of which, what did I want to ask Master Huang this afternoon? I was immediately shocked by Nizere's remarks.

Now I suddenly can't remember what I wanted to ask...

It took Kal'tsit quite a while to remember.

By the way, His Highness's economic development plan definitely has a major pitfall; I need to find a way to uncover it...

It was late at night, in the middle of the night.

Lamian had also had a few drinks, returned to her friend A-Cao's side, thinking about working overtime tonight to play games properly.

But Huang Cao gave her a serious scolding, "Listen to me, get some rest today. Indulging in sex isn't necessarily good for your health!"

Look how much pain you were in just a few days ago, and you're still thinking about it.

Lamian said that if it weren't for A-Cao being so tempting and powerful, she wouldn't be so unable to resist him.

I've been single for so long, can't I enjoy life a little?

This is understandable, even though Lamian is one of the older Banshee.

But his body has always maintained a youthful state. Why? Of course, it's because of Huang Cao, who is a super good man!

In terms of lifespan alone, Lamian is definitely no match for Warfarin and herself, and Huang Cao will not allow that to happen.

Furthermore, under the illumination of the Golden Tree, the entire Banshee race receives an extremely strong lifespan enhancement.

As for the side effects, Huang Cao has already taken care of them. The Goddess who bestowed blessings upon him may not care about after-sales service, but that doesn't mean he won't take care of it.

To ensure his family lives comfortably and without regrets, this good man has made ample preparations.

However, despite this, Huang Cao had no intention of letting Lamian continue to do things that would harm her.

She needs to rest for at least a few days to allow Lamian to relax mentally.

If you don't know your own strength and hurt yourself, what will happen... Won't I feel bad?

Having received a clear rejection, Lamian had no choice but to give up. After taking a deep breath of the natural scent emanating from her beloved Ah Cao, she fell into a deep sleep while holding him.

But not long after, footsteps suddenly sounded by the door again.

"I think today is your day off, right? Could it be that you couldn't resist either?"

"As Master Huang's maid, I will appear whenever you need me."

Kal'tsit walked up to Master Huang and knelt down on both knees, skillfully beginning to handle her work.

This has been the case for decades...

"You look great, but you seem a little unsatisfied. That's okay, I'll take care of your next problem."

Finally Kal'tsit fell silent, not because she didn't want to speak after getting into work mode, but because she lacked the opportunity and the means to do so.

Huang Cao looked at Kal'tsit, who was working, with a strange expression. Was it just her imagination?

It was as if the cat had truly become its slave.

No, those who offer unsolicited favors are either up to no good or are thieves.

This cat must have something in mind, otherwise it should be discussing important national affairs with Theresia right now.

How could they possibly have the time to come here specifically to serve me, Master Huang?

After a while, Kal'tsit, having rested and eaten, rubbed her slightly bloated stomach.

"Um... sir, is there anything else you need..."

After finishing her meal, Kal'tsit let out a burp and spoke somewhat hesitantly.

Indeed, without the other two wives to ease the pressure for me beforehand, it would have been too much of a strain to handle things alone...

Is this guy even human...?

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Huang Cao grabbed a towel from the side and wiped the face of the cat, who was still in shock.

"I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"I bet it's about Theresia. I think her ideas are really unique, maybe we should give it a try?"

I guess trying it would kill me.

Being different sounds nice, but it actually has another layer of meaning.

Under certain conditions, even a fool can be praised for being unique.

"Master Huang, in consideration of how hard I worked just now, could you please give the poor maid a little hint?"

Huang Cao shook his head. This cat thought that by making itself comfortable, it could get information.

That's incredibly naive! Getting something for free is the best!

Kal'tsit was prepared, after all, both sides were well aware of each other's shamelessness.

Today is just a trial, and besides, this scene has happened frequently over the past few decades.

It had long since become a part of her life, so for Kal'tsit, it was no longer a matter of sacrificing her dignity.

Habit is a truly terrifying concept.

Meanwhile, in the distant Demon King's Palace...

Theresia is still all alone, enthusiastically writing about future development plans.

However, even Kal'tsit, whom she trusted, was not by her side at this moment.

Chapter 153 It's all the Demon King's fault!

"Kal'tsit, don't worry too much. I won't do anything to Theresia for now. Of course, this country will become unstable because of the actions of these two siblings, and then I will take advantage of the situation."

"I can't guarantee that. No one would give up such a good opportunity. Even if I don't do it, other countries will, so I might as well do it."

"You should be glad I'm not a ruthless person. If I were truly someone who would stop at nothing to achieve my goals, it wouldn't be you kneeling before me now, but you and Theresia."

Huang Cao has made her point very clearly, and Kal'tsit understands this as well.

With the abilities of this man before me, there are countless faster ways to conquer various countries.

After so many years, the area that Master Huang occupied was only Victoria and a small area around it, which was a lot, but still less than what he actually owned.

Because Master Huang was willing to invest the time and effort to gradually assimilate these regions, rather than ruling through more brutal methods.

This is already considered a great kindness.

Perhaps it was the mutual pursuit of the ideal of Abundance, and at the same time, in order not to waste his own strength, that made Huang Cao subconsciously unwilling to be a completely evil person.

If someone really pushes him too far, he'll just flip the table.

Master Huang would choose to eliminate all the people who caused the problem, and then the problem would be solved.

"So Kal'tsit, you should really be glad that apart from a few minor personality flaws, I really don't have any other shortcomings."

"But it is precisely because I have a bottom line that I hate it when others test me. There are some things that are better left unasked. As the highest authority in the country, Theresia will always learn from her failures."

Huang Cao rubbed the cat's ears and very politely asked her to leave.

The cold wind outside was biting, Kal'tsit once again felt isolated and helpless.

Well, at least tonight wasn't a complete waste; at least I saved myself a late-night snack and breakfast tomorrow morning.

He patted his bulging belly, even though Master Huang hadn't just revealed the errors in Theresia's governing policies.

But judging from Huang Cao's expression, Her Highness's plan definitely has a problem; otherwise, she wouldn't be called Kal'tsit. Hmph.

Huang Cao's house in the capital wasn't far from the Demon King's Palace, and Kal'tsit quickly returned to Theresia's side.

Before they even met, Theresia could smell the faint scent of grass in the air.

I turned around and found it was my beloved cat.

"Kal'tsit, did you go sneak out to eat? Without me?"

Theresia poked her cat's bulging belly with her finger.

At the same time, he greedily inhaled the fragrant scent of the other person.

"I gave Miss Lamian a gift and had some juice with her. Mr. Huang Cao is so kind."

Before the cat could finish speaking, Theresia keenly noticed that Kal'tsit's face didn't seem very smooth.

He scratched her face with his fingernail and scraped out something that looked like solidified juice from a somewhat blurry spot.

It smells quite nice.

Oh no! When Master Huang wiped his face earlier, he used a dry towel instead of a wet one!

My face and hair weren't clean at all!

"Wait, Your Highness! You can't eat this!"

Before Kal'tsit could even shout it out in her mind, her Highness had already put the juice into her mouth.
