Chen Qi's Victorian Crown Prince-Class Maid? / "Yes, Prime Minister" Takes Aim at Londinium's Major Newspapers

"--It's very simple." Theresis smiled slightly, glancing at Talulah, whose jealousy was written all over her face, and understood. She said:

"I hope you can set aside a little time each day to talk to Theresia."

"... Conversation?" X2

However, Theresis's request surprised both Chen Qi and Talulah. After nodding, Theresis, for the first time setting aside his regent's aura, spoke as an elder brother:

"Theresia's body has been resurrected, but she no longer has her own soul... Although she answers fluently and appears no different from an ordinary person, it is merely her instinct as a 'combination of Sarkaz wills' responding."

"But, as I said before, I sensed that Theresia's soul was recovering, albeit slowly, but her soul was truly recovering."

"Director Chen Qi, you have many ingenious ideas. More importantly, my sister once showed interest in your work. The first time she showed signs of a spiritual return was also when she was talking about you."

"Therefore, I think that perhaps talking with you for a while will help my sister's soul recover more quickly..."

Theresis lowered his stance, adopting the appearance of an older brother simply trying to help his sister. Although his tone wasn't exactly pleading, the fact that he, as regent, could humble himself was enough to move people.

"This is not a request from me as the Regent, but rather a plea from an elder brother to Director Chen Qi, a friend. I humbly request your help in my sister's recovery."

But your sister is perfectly fine, and she was just winking at me. Chen Qi really wanted to say that, but a moment later, he felt a strange sensation on his calf, like a kitten rubbing against it, but Chen Qi knew it was definitely not a kitten.

It was a small foot, coming from a slightly angled spot opposite him. There was clearly no way Theresis would make such a move, so there was only one person left...

Chen Qi's gaze fell on Theresia, but Theresia's expression did not change in the slightest. However, the pricking sensation was undoubtedly Theresia's foot!

* Yan profanity*! Who can resist this? Does this woman know so much about it?

Faced with Theresia's seemingly suggestive but actually almost as effective as seduction, Chen Qi felt utterly overwhelmed. However, at this moment, Talulah, who had originally wanted nothing more than to tie him up and take him away, was slightly moved after hearing Theresis's words.

"... Chen Qi?"

"I understand." Talulah's tentative question was met with a noticeable softening and hesitation in her expression. Seeing Talulah's relief, Chen Qi could only nod and say to Theresis:

"If that's all there is to it, my crew and I would be happy to help out during this time."

"If that's the case... that would be wonderful."

Theresis's face relaxed, and she bowed slightly to Chen Qi with gratitude, then immediately added:

"In that case, I'll leave my sister in Director Chen Qi's care during this time. Our people will take her back to rest at 1 PM and 10 PM every day."

"For the rest of the time... Theresia, you'll be working with Director Chen Qi, how about that?"

"... If this is Brother Wang's arrangement, I have no objection."

At this moment, Theresia spoke for the first time. She slowly rose to her feet, and her gentle aura, combined with her elegant posture, once again overturned people's perception of the Sarkaz race.

Except for Chen Qi, everyone else wore a smile, but each person harbored their own thoughts.

Theresis was overjoyed that her sister finally had the opportunity to contact Chen Qi, and that her second plan was one step closer to completion.

Theresia was also happy, finally able to escape her life of daydreaming all day. She had been so bored lately, but she couldn't show it. At least with Chen Qi around, she finally had someone who knew the truth and could talk to her.

Talulah was also pleased. According to Theresis, Theresia was merely a Sarkaz consciousness; she had no independent soul. Naturally, she would help her in any way she could to restore her.

Therefore, she could temporarily suppress her jealousy. After all... he was just a living dead person, and she wasn't about to argue with someone like that.

At this moment, Theresia slightly raised her head, her expression remaining calm, but her eyes, as she looked at Chen Qi, were filled with an uncontrollable joy.

"From now on, I'll be relying on you, Director Chen Qi."

Chapter 136: Chen Qi's Victoria -Style Crown Princess Maid?

"Well then, I'll head back to my room now. Once you've finished your conversation with Her Highness, remember to come find me as soon as possible."

Chen Qi, Talulah, and Theresia, who had followed them all the way, returned to the palace. This time, Talulah couldn't sleep in Chen Qi's room because it needed to be made room for him and Theresia to chat.

Moreover, Talulah noticed something along the way: although Theresia answered all her questions fluently, she never spoke up on her own initiative. Only when Chen Qi spoke would she say a few more words.

This made Talulah wonder if it would be easier for Chen Qi and Theresia to talk if she left? After all, the purpose of their conversation was to help Theresia's soul recover.

Although Talulah doesn't understand matters of the "soul" level, Koschei does! For this reason, Talulah even woke up the Koschei in her mind to ask him a question, but Koschei's answer was ambiguous.

"The soul is an ethereal existence. Every immortal being has a way to preserve their soul and consciousness. The most common method is like mine, scattering their 'minions' so that even if one body dies, the other consciousness can inherit the original body's consciousness and soul."

"As for this princess, she clearly didn't use her henchmen, probably because she never imagined she would die. The method Theresis mentioned is indeed possible; it could be considered a way to awaken consciousness."

However, Koschei, who knew that Theresia had been resurrected by Chen Qi, chose to continue to conceal the truth this time. He knew that his daughter could not know this news yet, otherwise she would definitely be anxious and shouting all over the world, and then the news of Theresia's resurrection would be known to everyone.

When the Sarkaz truly regain their dual kings and all Sarkaz are united as one, then what?

Then, the countries that have realized what's happening will join forces again and crush them. There's only one outcome.

The reason Sarkaz can now operate openly in Victoria is not because Sarkaz is so powerful that Victoria needs to be wary of him, but because Victoria needs Sarkaz's presence. He needs Sarkaz to maintain balance during his internal development.

Similarly, Victoria needs the Sarkaz now because they will provide protection, but don't forget that the Sarkaz are still universally disliked on Terra. Other countries haven't made a move simply because they are in a mess internally and don't have time to deal with the half-dead Sarkaz.

However, if the Sarkaz were to rise again like an unkillable cockroach in a short period of time, then the nations that are well aware of the Sarkaz's development potential would definitely unite to nip any hope of Sarkaz restoration in the bud.

At that time, Kazdel was destroyed once again, the Sarkaz suffered heavy casualties, and all countries won a great victory. With the support of "righteousness," the previously chaotic internal problems were resolved in an instant, and a world was born with only the wounded Sarkaz.

After that, would Chen Qi, who had the title of "Friend of the Sarkaz," be the next to be eliminated? Koschei thought much further ahead. He knew that Chen Qi still needed the Sarkaz as an ally. The stronger the Sarkaz were, the more advantageous it would be for Chen Qi and his allies.

And now Theresis has even sent his sister here... Koschei, of course, sees through the deeper meaning. Theresis doesn't know about his sister's resurrection, but he's already using this opportunity to test her.

What was he testing? Was he testing whether Chen Qi had feelings for Theresia? However, in Koschei's view, this test was no longer necessary.

Because Chen Qi has his daughter to keep him in check, he might not necessarily have any ideas. But the problem is, high-level hunters often appear as prey, and Theresia has a lot of ideas!

However, even so, Koschei felt that Theresia wouldn't do anything for the time being. Since it was just a chat, and the two getting closer would be beneficial for the future, why should he remind his daughter?

What's more, Koschei also quite hopes that in the future, his foolish daughter, realizing her mistake, will beg him to win against Theresia... That would be hilarious.

Thinking this way, Koschei didn't say another word. And so, this scene unfolded, with Talulah then saying to Chen Qi:

"I'll be going now—remember, you're not allowed to lay a finger on anyone while I'm gone."

"I have the desire, but not the guts..." Chen Qi was also embarrassed. He glanced at Theresia, who was still expressionless beside him, like a doll. He knew very well that she was listening to him!

After finally seeing Talulah, Talulah to her room to rest. Not long after, Chen Qi heard Theresia take a deep breath and relax completely.

"Brother Wang, you've been very fortunate to have Director Chen Qi's care lately."

Theresia finally returned to normal, and as soon as she did, she couldn't wait to speak to Chen Qi. She hadn't said a word for almost two months, and now that she finally had someone to talk to, Theresia eagerly said to Chen Qi:

"If it weren't for director Chen Qi's 'Darkest Hour,' Brother Wang would probably have already taken advantage of the chaos and joined the attack on Victoria. At that time, the Sarkaz would have restored their kingdom in Victoria, but that faint hope would have been completely swallowed up in an instant."

"And 'Braveheart' ended the war with minimal losses. Director Chen Qi, you accomplished something that even the strongest demon king and the wisest monarch could not achieve."

"The Sarkaz race can now be said to have once again turned the tide, and the reconstruction of Kazdel is no longer a fantasy, but a foreseeable outcome."

Theresia spoke at length, even becoming unusually excited, her cheeks flushed. After a few breaths, she managed to suppress her emotions and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"Director Chen Qi, you are a benefactor to our Sarkaz people. Sarkaz will never forget this kindness."

"It's nothing. After all, the Sarkaz are my friends now. The stronger the Sarkaz are, the safer my crew and I will be." Chen Qi readily accepted Theresia's gratitude, and seeing the excited Theresia, he added...

"If we want to chat, we can go inside and talk slowly. It's too easy for word to get out in the hallway."

"That's true. I haven't spoken for over two months. I can't even take out the phone that Director Chen Qi gave me. I'm so bored these days."

Theresia smiled, then said meaningfully, "I'm so glad that you made this decision, Brother Wang. Being with Director Chen Qi will keep you from being lonely."

This is bad, this woman knows too much. Chen Qi stared at Theresia's cunning eyes and couldn't help but tremble. As expected of Theresia, who can turn a group of Sarkaz into "single-fans," her charm is truly admirable.

When Chen Qi opened the door and invited Theresia in, Theresia paused for a moment, her smile vanished instantly, and her body tensed up once more.

Chen Qi then discovered that a familiar figure was fast asleep on his bed in his room, a person he had seen during the day—his new student, Vina.

But why is Vina here? And why is she sleeping in her own bed?

And... where did she get that maid outfit?

"Director Chen Qi, do you... have this kind of fetish?"

Theresia, who had thought someone had overheard their conversation, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Vina was asleep. However, her subtle gaze drifted to Chen Qi beside her, and she couldn't help but ask:

"I've heard that this kind of Victoria maid is quite popular with some people. Oh, I remember, Kal'tsit has a similar one too; I specifically chose it for her."

"However, having a bed warmer maid is a terrible thing, Director Chen Qi. It would be better to get rid of such a bad habit as soon as possible, wouldn't Miss Talulah be angry if she knew?"

This was clearly just a joke, but Theresia's teasing only made people more anxious to explain, and Chen Qi was no exception. He immediately went up to wake Vina.

"Oh... Ah, Teacher Chen Qi."

Vina, still half asleep, immediately got out of bed upon seeing Chen Qi. However, she soon noticed Theresia behind Chen Qi.

"Teacher, this Sarkaz is... Teacher, is he your new lover?"

"Let's not talk about that now, Vina. I need you to explain why you're in my room, and dressed like that?"

Chen Qi didn't give Vina any chance to change the subject, but Vina was clearly not guilty at all, and immediately explained:

"I have just become your student today, and I am now living up to your expectations and undergoing rigorous training."

"Since I've decided to establish myself in the film crew, I've abandoned my past identity and naturally started from the bottom."

"I understand, teacher. You are tempering my character. You haven't taught me anything immediately because you feel I don't yet have the awareness of a ruler."

"To become a king, one must first experience the hardships of humanity. There's not much I can do now, but I won't act differently because of my status. I will prove my worth until you, my teacher, feel you can teach me."

As she said this, Vina seemed to notice Chen Qi's suspicious gaze, and for once, Vina felt a little guilty—after all, she wasn't really good at this kind of work. When she was with Indra and the others, they spent most of their time fighting and didn't care much about their personal lives.

Vina, at least, still retains the last vestige of dignity as the crown princess; otherwise, hanging out with gang members and not even being able to guarantee basic hygiene would be too unbearable.

Therefore, she at least knew how to do some cleaning work, which is why she volunteered to help Chen Qi clean the house.

"... So, you're doing all this hoping I'll teach you something quickly?" Chen Qi roughly understood Vina's meaning, and Vina blinked, unable to help but ask:

"That's not what you meant, teacher. Are you testing me?"

"That's not quite how it works—but that's okay, it's fine if you understand it that way. However, while you're doing your work, don't forget to study."

Chen Qi rubbed his head, feeling utterly overwhelmed. The Crown Princess of Victoria was dressed as a maid and cleaning for him... Was he really wasting her time?

But then I thought about it again, and realized I've done similar things countless times. Even Mr. Patriot is still working as a public relations and security captain on set, so having a princess maid or something doesn't seem so unacceptable.

But the problem is, it wouldn't be good if Talulah found out about this. Chen Qi immediately gave Vina the next step of the plan, saying:

"In that case, you should first learn Yan language well. I will test your Yan language level after a while. When you can understand Yan books, I will start teaching you."

"Really?"

Chen Qi's simple delivery of the first step of the action made Vina's eyes light up—she had thought this experience would last for one or two years, and she was already prepared to be a low-level laborer in the film crew during that time.

However, Chen Qi's quick compromise made Vina feel even more certain that she had done the right thing! Her actions were moving Chen Qi, and if she persisted, Chen Qi would definitely teach her knowledge without reservation!

As for Yan language... Although she didn't know what the teacher meant, it was just learning a language. Vina was the crown princess, and she believed that the excellent bloodline passed down from her ancestors would make her learning ability very strong!

"I will continue to work hard, teacher!"

Vina's answer this time was exceptionally loud and excited. She felt that she was one step closer to her goal of becoming the Queen of Victoria and winning over Chen Qi to be Victoria's Grand Tutor!

Chapter 137: "Yes, Prime Minister" - A Sharp Commentary on Major Newspapers in Londinium

Vina's little blunder ruined Chen Qi and Theresia's conversation that day. Chen Qi was still unaware that his future would include a "Queen Victoria -level maid." The filming went smoothly the next day, and the third episode also wrapped up successfully.

Faced with constant pressure from Gaul, Humphrey, played by the Bloodborne Archon, eventually received news that "a bomb has been found at the Gaul embassy."

"What? Who put it there?" The Prime Minister, played by Theresis, was shocked upon receiving the news, while Humphrey, played by the Bloodborne Archon, quickly replied:

"It's still unknown; many people have motives."

"--I'll count as one!" Manfred's character, Bernard, who had been driven nearly mad by the Fangbeast Gaul had given him, answered this almost immediately.

Fortunately, it was this information that ultimately allowed Theresis and her group to learn, before confronting the Grand Gaul, that the bomb at the Gaul embassy was planted by the Gaul themselves to prove Victoria's security was inadequate, thus gaining the upper hand in the conversation.

However, this news ultimately allowed Theresis and her allies to seize control, Gaul's unnecessary intervention allowed Victoria to turn the tide and win this time.

"That's something the Gaul would do, or rather, it's like the way the Gaul would go to great lengths to cause trouble when facing us."

It wasn't just the Duke of Wellington, who had dealt with the Gaul, who made this assessment back then. However, this time he arrived at the screening room early, not only looking forward to the end of this episode, but also to the fourth episode, which he had been eagerly anticipating, and which focused on the topic of "finance."

The Duke of Wellington had put in a lot of effort to prepare for this day. This time, not only were officials from Victoria present in the screening room, but even the spies that the Duke of Wellington planned to send to Kazimierz to do some "propaganda" for their neighbor had been arranged here.

It's virtually impossible for the videotapes of "Yes, Prime Minister" to circulate in countries like Kazimierz and Ursus. Ursus still treats it as a banned show and cracks down on it severely. Any content related to "Yes, Prime Minister" is strictly investigated and controlled. If it weren't for Victoria's spy in Ursus risking her life to upload various content to Ursus's online platforms, the people of Ursus wouldn't even know that "Yes, Prime Minister" had a second season.

Therefore, this time, Victoria's main target audience for the "finance" topic was Kazimierz. Although Kazimierz was also cracking down, their efforts were insufficient. The Commercial Federation's attitude towards "Yes, Prime Minister" was also ambiguous. After all, what did a political satire have to do with them, who were in business?

Without the support of the Commercial Federation, it would be difficult for the Supervision Committee alone to control the spread of information on the Kazimierz network. This was precisely what the Duke of Wellington seized upon.

"You all record the footage from this episode, edit it into clips, and regularly distribute it across the networks of the Grand Knight's Dominion of Kazimierz and various key Mobile City."

"Remember, your mission is to protect your whereabouts and avoid being caught. Even if you are caught, never admit to being a spy. Your identities have already been fabricated. What you need to do is regularly upload content using different accounts, making this story as sensational as possible within Kazimierz."
