She changed Europe

Page 8

This was also a major reason why she was approached by people on her first day at school; after all, judging by appearance is human nature.

For example, there are the Magic Users of the now-weak but still powerful Eastern Empire in East Asia. Of course, they wouldn't be called Magic Users in their own country—a term too Westernized—but rather by their civilization's unique constellation names, such as Tianquan or Tianshu. Their distinctive features include dark hair and animal-like ears, similar to those of canines or felines. (Yes, in a sense, they are beast girls, lol.)

Gisela wasn't sure if reciting ancient poems or expressing her thoughts would be of any use. But in the current situation, it seemed to be working for her, and the magical energy that was hostile to her seemed to be calmed down by the sound. The strange scene filled Gisela with curiosity.

Unbeknownst to her, the awakening of magical power is directly related to the language one recites. While Latin is widely spoken, it is only used within Europe. Although Lin Wei has now become Gisela, his soul language still belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family. To activate her current magical power, only Chinese can be used.

"Sigh, what a pity." The professor looked at the sensor stone, which still showed no reaction, and sighed helplessly. Even if the dean of the academy told me to take good care of her, she still couldn't get past this hurdle. So, saying anything in the future would be meaningless. It seems this lovely and obedient girl is destined to be expelled from the school. Zero magical energy sensing—in the entire history of humankind, such a situation has never been heard of.

Even if she isn't forced to leave school in the end, the subsequent courses will be too difficult for her. After all, she's in a school where magic power is the main subject of study, but she doesn't have magic power. This situation is not a good thing for her. It would be better for her to go to an ordinary school, learn some skills, so that she won't have trouble making a living in the future. There is more than one path to success in life, at least that's what the professor thinks.

"Louise, you can go now. Don't be too sad. After all, you're very smart. Even if you have weaknesses in magical abilities, your intelligence and wisdom will still allow you to overcome obstacles and achieve your ideals and goals." The professor waved his hand, then picked up the list and began reading the next student's name.

The professor's words were sincere, and Gisela's steps were somewhat heavy at this moment. Of course, the reason was not because she still hadn't awakened her magical power after two consecutive attempts. Now, after the exhilarating feeling brought by the previous sensory enhancement, she could only feel an energy lingering in her chest, making her feel uncomfortable all over, and her breathing was not as smooth as before. This feeling was similar to the bustier dress she wore before, but today she was wearing a school uniform that allowed for easy movement, so this problem should not exist.

"Your Highness, please don't be sad. Magic power isn't absolutely necessary. You are still the noble princess of the Empire." Rita noticed that Gisela's complexion wasn't very good, so she stepped forward to comfort her. The maid always maintained her composure and elegance, like a harbor with open arms welcoming returning ships, showing Gisela her beauty and inclusiveness.

"Rita, hold me up, I'm not feeling well." Unfortunately, faced with the beautiful woman's embrace, Gisela seemed in no mood to enjoy the moment. No sooner had she spoken than she buried her face in Rita's arms, gently hooking her arm around Rita's neck and resting her head on her shoulder to keep her from falling. Inhaling Rita's unique scent, Gisela felt a strange sense of comfort and peace.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Rita's wine-red eyes flashed with worry. She decisively helped Gisela away from the crowd and to a bench under the shade of the trees around the square, where they sat down.

"After I tried to absorb magical energy just now, I felt an unbearable tightness in my chest, as if some kind of energy was being poured into it." This is somewhat different from Gisela's actual situation. The energy was not absorbed by her but approached her on its own. This was not something she wanted to deliberately hide, but rather something she herself couldn't explain. After all, she was not from this world, nor had she ever been exposed to this kind of magical energy since childhood.

"Your Highness, if you're really uncomfortable, please lie down on my lap and rest for a while." Rita slightly lifted the hem of her maid outfit to make sure her thighs were padded a little thicker with stockings, so that her Highness could lie down more comfortably.

"Thank you, Rita." Gisela was in a terrible state at that moment, and she didn't even have a hint of gentlemanly behavior. She didn't have time to think about things like the beautiful girl's lap pillow or the stunning snow-capped peaks that stretched to the horizon. All she wanted to do was expel the energy from her chest as quickly as possible.

"Your Highness, let me hum a tune for you; it should help ease your discomfort." With that, Rita began to hum a very gentle song.

"..."

"Mr. Brumm's Lullaby." Gisela, with her innate ability to understand languages, recognized the tune Rita was humming for the first time. This lullaby, which had become popular in Vienna in recent years, had become one of the essential songs for many mothers to learn to lull their children to sleep. It was warm and filled with expectations for the children's future. The lyrics, full of human touch, were the reason why people liked it, and it also carried a mother's love for her children.

"So you still treat me like a child, Rita?" Gisela's tone carried a hint of helplessness, after all, her current body was only 12 years old, not the adult she had been in the past.

"Your Highness, in Rita's heart you will always be the most outstanding child, and of course, my one and only little master..." Rita pursed her lips, only saying the first half of the sentence. Having watched His Highness grow up, she had always suppressed her somewhat unspeakable feelings. Even though many things had happened between her and Gisela, she had not really made up her mind to cross that line that day.

"Because I am His Highness's personal maid, a maid should act like a maid." This is her duty.

Chapter 27 Princess Starting from Zero: Capter 26 Gisela's Fox Ears (Seeking votes and collections)

As time passed, Gisela, despite lying on Rita's lap for a long time, did not experience any relief from her discomfort, so she went back to her residence and fell asleep immediately.

This worried our maid terribly. She traveled all over Vienna, visiting countless renowned doctors to have Gisela examined. But almost no good doctors were willing to make house calls late at night. It wasn't that Vienna was unsafe; it was simply that after hearing Rita's explanation of the condition, these doctors could only shake their heads and refuse. After all, if they knew their abilities were limited, why waste their time?

Besides, Rita couldn't directly tell the doctors that the person who needed to be treated was the princess of the empire. If that were the case, then these doctors would have to come even if it meant taking a high risk. If they could cure the current emperor's daughter, the commercial effect brought by that reputation alone would make the doctor stand out from thousands of doctors in Vienna and become a prominent figure in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If Emperor Franz were pleased, he might even make him a nobleman.

In the end, Rita had no choice but to stay by Gisela's side all night, fearing that something might have happened to her, and then try her luck again in the morning.

Rita's worries were unknown to Gisela, but Gisela's night was equally difficult. The strange feeling in her chest had not yet dissipated, and her body was hot and cold intermittently, as if she had malaria. Moreover, her past experiences and Gisela's own experiences were intertwined, causing her to have many strange dreams, leaving her in a state of half-awake and half-asleep.

This condition continued throughout the night until dawn when it eased somewhat. When Gisela awoke again, it was already noon. Rita was not with Gisela at this time; she had traveled to Schönbrunn Palace much earlier to tell Queen Elizabeth about Gisela's strange illness, hoping to seek a solution from the learned and intelligent Queen.

"What's that sound?" Gisela noticed that her hearing had been amplified many times over. Even though she was still in the room, she could clearly hear the conversation between two servants at the end of the corridor.

"I heard His Highness is ill, is that true?" The speaker was a tall, thin man dressed as a servant.

“That’s right… Lady Rita went out early this morning to come up with a solution.” Another speaker was a young maid.

"Your Highness, please don't let anything happen to you."

"Yes! Just don't let anything happen. Serving Her Highness is the best job in the world." Since Lin Wei became Gisela, she has changed her past willfulness and capriciousness. She will never trouble others with anything she is capable of doing herself. Of course, she does not treat the servants in the house as servants, but as her employees. As a result, the people working in this mansion not only have better treatment, but are also more loyal to Gisela. At least when she is sick, they are willing to speak well of her. This is what makes Gisela most gratified.

"Why has my hearing become so good?" Gisela was extremely confused. She skillfully lifted her blanket, took out her slippers from under the bed, and secretly tried them on to see if they fit while Rita was not around.

That's right, they're flip-flops, the kind you see on the floor. Gisela secretly made them while Rita was resting at night, hiding under the covers. After all, in this era, it was considered extremely impolite for a woman to wear such unseemly shoes. Gisela's reason for making them was simple: these shoes were definitely more comfortable than high heels!

"Ugh! I still have to comb my hair when I get up in the morning." Gisela, wearing flip-flops, walked towards her huge dressing table. She looked up to check the clock on the wall, which read 12:27.

"It's already noon... I slept for so long." Gisela picked up her water glass and drank some. After a long sleep, replenishing fluids upon waking is very beneficial to health. While drinking, she walked to the mirror.

"Pfft!" She spat out the water that had just entered her mouth.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!! What is this?!" Gisela stared at her wide-open blue eyes in the mirror. What was this thing?! Gisela then noticed a pair of golden fox ears on her head...

"What the heck are animal ears?!" Gisela really wanted to pull out her non-existent phone right now and search for the answer on some forum.

“Take a deep breath and say, one, two, three, this is an illusion…” Gisela forced herself to calm down and slowly reached her hand towards her ears, specifically the two fox ears on her head.

"It's furry and soft, and it tickles to the touch. Hmm, it's mine, no doubt about it!" Gisela was so unsteady on her feet that she could barely stand. The sensitivity of her ears was beyond her imagination.

"Wait a minute, if there are animal ears... No way... No way..." Gisela muttered to herself as she turned her back to the mirror, where she saw a golden fox tail, just like her ears, on her tailbone.

She felt like she was no longer human, but had turned into a fox, or more accurately, a fox in human form… This was another major crisis following her transformation from “he” to “she,” and this time even her species seemed off. Gisela stared at her reflection in the mirror with a sense of utter despair. In truth, upon closer inspection, she found the combination surprisingly attractive: long golden hair, blue eyes, and a delicate face that was already somewhere between a young girl and a teenager, made even more adorable by the interesting ears on her head.

"Meow!" Gisela raised her right hand, placed her left hand lower, and then imitated the cute meows of the anime girls she used to watch. (Stop! You're a fox, not a cat!)

"No, shouldn't we say something like, 'The Great Chu will rise, and Chen Sheng will be king' at this moment?" Gisela muttered to himself.

"Your Highness! Queen Elizabeth and Master Selena have come to visit you." Rita gently pushed open the door, desperately hoping her prince would wake up...

The air was heavy and oppressive, time seemed to stand still, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to have plummeted to freezing point. Gisela froze in that "cute" moment, not daring to move an inch.

The dignified, beautiful, and noble Empress Elizabeth, known as the Golden Rose of Vienna and the Empire's foremost magic user, was speechless with astonishment upon witnessing such a scene after years of navigating the complexities of court life.

“Your Highness… what is this…” Even Rita was too surprised to know what to say, and could only ask in a naive tone.

"Ugh! My head is spinning!" Gisela used exaggerated acting to distract the three people in front of her as she moved closer to the window. Only a fool wouldn't run away now; this was too embarrassing. The second floor wasn't high anyway, and it was just a lawn...

“No! Your Highness, what’s that on your head?” Rita blinked her wine-red eyes, her gaze returning to Gisela’s head.

PS1: The title format has been successfully recovered.

Chapter 28 Princess Starting from Zero: Capter 27 Sisi, you wouldn't be...

"You mean this? It's nothing! Nothing! It's just a prop I made." Gisela chuckled as she continued to approach the window. Seeing Gisela's guilty look...

"Then why are the props moving?"

“That’s because…look at that!” Gisela raised her slender hand and pointed in another direction. The three of them turned to the direction Gisela was pointing, and Gisela took the opportunity to climb out of the window and jump. She would rather suffer minor injuries than die like that, because it was a matter of her dignity as a man.

Gisela expected pain, but it didn't actually affect her. She was enveloped in a soft embrace and a familiar yet unfamiliar scent. Looking up, she saw a mature, beautiful blonde woman with a stunning appearance similar to Gisela's, but with a more dignified and composed demeanor compared to Gisela's youthful innocence. Most importantly, the woman exuded a sense of accomplishment and grandeur, leaving an unforgettable impression.

Her child must have never gone hungry when he was little...

No! Could this person be...?

Memories belonging to the real Gisela flooded into Lin Wei's mind at this moment, causing her body to instinctively tremble.

The Golden Rose of Vienna, the most powerful magic user in the Austro-Hungarian Empire today, is the only one to whom Austria can maintain a dual system with Hungary. This is inseparable from the personal charm and outstanding strength of Empress Elisabeth before him. It can be said that his mother is not comparable to the vase empress in history.

The person who caught her was none other than her current mother, Queen Elizabeth.

"So, my lovely little Gisela, where have you run off to?" Queen Elizabeth smiled, but unfortunately, that smile only made Gisela feel a kind of bloodline suppression.

Back indoors—

"Tell me, little Gisela, what's with those fox ears on your head and that fluffy tail?" Queen Elizabeth appeared serious, but she couldn't hide her care and affection for Gisela; after all, that was just her personality.

"I'm sorry, Mother, I don't know why either." Faced with a woman she couldn't beat or afford to offend, Gisela could only sit obediently opposite Queen Elizabeth, staring at the tips of her white shoes, not daring to meet Queen Elizabeth's gaze at all. After all, she dared not speculate whether the mother of her former self could tell that her daughter had merged with her soul, in short, that her soul had been replaced.

Because she could sense that Queen Elizabeth was using her extraordinary and powerful magical energy to examine her body, but she still didn't seem to find anything wrong.

“Sissi, I think fox ears and a tail are characteristics unique to Eastern magic users.” This time, it was Master Selena who spoke up, sipping the red tea that Rita had just poured for her. As the erudite principal of the Royal Magic School, she should use her book knowledge to answer and speculate.

"Selena, you've been away from Britain for so many years, and your habits haven't changed at all?" Queen Elizabeth, standing to the side, couldn't help but remark to Selena, who spoke with elegance and composure.

Gisela believed that the way her mother and Selena spoke suggested that their relationship wasn't bad. In addition, she had investigated Selena's background and learned that Selena's real name was Erza Augustus, the former Duchess of York in Great Britain. However, 12 years ago, she fell in love with Sisi, who had just become Empress of Austria. Therefore, she voluntarily gave up her title, left England, joined Austria, and changed her name to Selena in order to separate herself from her past.

Considering the possibility of winning over another magic user, Emperor Franz granted his wife a long vacation, allowing her to spend some sweet time in Munich. After the vacation, Sissi returned to Vienna, and Serena was invited by Sissi to become the headmistress of the Imperial Royal Magic Academy.

In addition, it is worth mentioning the vengeful British Empire. The reason why it did not pursue Selena's defection was mainly because the British Empire was already powerful. The departure of a magic user was not a big deal. Moreover, in order to maintain its balance of power in Europe, sending a magic user to the relatively weak Austrian Empire was not a bad thing. Britain also hoped that Austria would restrain the increasingly ambitious Russian Empire, as well as its arch-rival France across the Channel. This favor was in line with Britain's national interests.

“Sissi, I gave up my title in Britain for you, and that little Victoria was sad for a long time. Now that I’ve been by your side for so many years, can I even reminisce about the past?” Selena looked very sad, but Queen Elizabeth, who knew her well, knew that this was just the way this woman was. If you spent a lot of time with her, you would easily be swayed by her.

"Wait a minute, Selena, you said this is a characteristic of the Eastern Demon Tomb (Seven;X) Ba Si * Seven Cover Liu y/*e- already able to use magic? So what you just said means that Little Gisela has also become a magic user?" If so, this is indeed a great event that the entire royal family and even the entire nation should celebrate, after all, the number of magic users is an important standard for measuring the strength of a country.

But I can't sense any of the magical energy interaction she should have as a mage?

“Gisella’s situation is likely due to incomplete awakening; she has only shown the characteristics of a magic user but has not yet acquired the strength to be one. However, this is only a matter of time. Aren’t you worried about your own situation more than you are about Cici?” Queen Elizabeth raised her head slightly, looking at Selena with great confusion.

Gisela definitely inherited your slowness; in some ways, this mother and daughter are really alike. They are always decisive and accurate in making important decisions, but act like idiots when it comes to trivial matters in life.

"Think about it, Gisela exhibited characteristics of an Eastern mage. What does that mean?"

"What does it mean?" Queen Elizabeth still looked puzzled.

“That means she has Eastern blood!” Selena said calmly, though she felt a strange sense of pleasure about it. For her, embarrassing Emperor Joseph was the most enjoyable thing. After all, she and the emperor were rivals in love, even though she was the one who came later… but who says the latecomer can’t surpass the former?

As for Emperor Franz Joseph allowing his empress to have an ambiguous relationship with another female mage, it's not a big deal, since both are women. However, if he were to find out about the bloodline discrepancy, the situation would become as complicated as a family drama.

“Impossible! Gisela is indeed my daughter with Joseph. As for Franz, he would never have had a relationship with someone else behind my back. So there is absolutely no problem with little Gisela’s bloodline!” Queen Elizabeth stood up straight and refuted Selena’s point of view with her lips clenched. Gisela herself, who was observing silently from the side, couldn’t help but want to complain about her mother’s naivety.

PS1: Gisela's mother, Empress Elizabeth, is the well-known Empress Sisi.

Chapter 29 Princess Starting from Zero: Capter 28 I'm Not That Kind of Woman (Seeking Votes)

Leaving aside the fact that you trust my cheap father so much (pending?), the fact that you don't suspect him doesn't mean he doesn't suspect you. Even if he doesn't suspect you, what will so many nobles and ministers think? If the secrets of the royal family are only known to the two parties involved, then there's nothing wrong with that, like Louis XIV and his lovers. But as an imperial princess who may need to appear in public in the future, with Eastern blood flowing through her veins, this kind of thing is probably destined to be pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

"So, Sissi, tell me honestly, did you really find someone else behind my and Joseph's back?" Selena asked again, seeing Elizabeth's self-righteous attitude despite her obvious guilt, to express her "concern" for her best friend, since her Sissi was just too charming.

"I have said I would never do such a shameless thing," Queen Elizabeth stated firmly.

Rita, who was holding a plate, sighed helplessly as she watched the scene unfold. Although she had no right to comment on the matter as an outsider, she couldn't help but feel worried for Gisela when she thought about His Highness's future situation.

However, it was just a concern. After all, putting aside His Highness's background, there was some incredibly good news: His Highness was a magic user, and a very cute one at that...

She secretly cast her gaze at the prince sitting opposite her. His soft fox ears drooped, and his tail lay listlessly on the seat, making him look somewhat absent-minded.

Wow! She's so cute... I really want to ruffle her hair and smooth it out... I mean, comb it. If her cuteness level was 90 points before, it's now a perfect score... Rita suddenly jolted, snapping out of her reverie and avoiding any inappropriate behavior.

"Then what are the characteristics of the Eastern magic user on little Gisela?" Selena didn't actually believe that Sissi was having affairs with three men. Besides, after thinking about it seriously, it was Joseph who was being cheated on, and she was also the third party, so she suddenly calmed down.

"Alright, Rita! Pour me another cup of black tea, then take little Gisela out for a walk. She's just recovered and should get some fresh air. I have something I need to discuss with Her Majesty the Queen alone."

“Respected Lady Selena,” Rita replied. She didn’t know why she subconsciously addressed this person, who had no official position or noble title, as “Lady,” perhaps it was just the difference in their auras.

"Oh, and remember to find a hat for little Gisela to cover her ears, and hide her tail in her skirt. Don't tell anyone about this yet." She'd keep it a secret as long as possible until she found out the reason. She could already imagine how Empress Dowager Sophie, the Emperor's mother, would make things difficult for Sissi if she found out. Although magic users possessed great power, they were still subject to many restrictions. After all, people living in this world are always bound by various things and identities, even the Empress Elizabeth was no exception.

After speaking, Selena sat back down in her seat, examining the ceramic teacup filled with black tea by Rita, and then watched Gisela and Rita leave.

Only after confirming that the two had left did Selena move on to a new topic.

“Little Sophie, this problem has never occurred before, right?” Selena was referring to Sophie, Gisela’s older sister, the eldest princess who died young in the original history.

"No, Sophie is still the same as before. In fact, from birth until her magical awakening, there has never been anything like what happened to little Gisela." Queen Elizabeth shook her head, recalling her eldest daughter's condition over the past few years.

“That’s strange. You and Joseph are both Germanic in terms of bloodline. You are from the Wittelsbach family and he is from the Habsburg family. Logically speaking, there has never been any record of marriage between the two families and people from the East. This simply does not explain why little Gisela has developed characteristics of a magic user that are not consistent with your ethnicity after her magic awakening.”

"Are there any other magic users in the world with similar characteristics to Gisela?" This is the question Queen Elizabeth most wants to know right now.

"If my memory serves me right, the only magic users in the world with fox-like features besides Little Gisela are the magic users of the Chinese Empire. The only one I've met is General Su Beiming of the Zhennan Protectorate. I remember they called her something like Lord Tian Shu."

"Tianshu?"

"The people of that land like to name their magical wielders after the stars in the sky."

"Doesn't that sound romantic?" Selena asked with a smile as she saw Queen Elizabeth lost in thought.

It is worth mentioning that the Chinese Empire in this world is actually an enhanced version of the Ming Dynasty. Although it was still weak, it maintained absolute dominance in East Asia. It had four powerful protectorates: the Anxi Protectorate, whose jurisdiction was mainly the ancient Western Regions and parts of Central Asia, and the protectorate was located in Yili City; the Anbei Protectorate, whose jurisdiction was mainly Outer Mongolia and parts of Siberia and the Outer Khingan Mountains, and the protectorate was originally located in Kulun City, but after the Ming-Russian War, in which it lost a large area of ​​territory to the Russian Empire, the protectorate was moved inland to Guihua.

The Zhendong Protectorate was located in Edo, Japan; (yes, the kamikaze attacks failed to stop the Ming Dynasty's massive fleet, and the Japanese archipelago was completely occupied by the Ming). Finally, there was the Zhennan Protectorate, located in Guangzhou, whose jurisdiction mainly covered many islands in Southeast Asia (such as Kalimantan and the Philippine Islands, established after Zheng He's voyages).

"Selena, you know so much about them?" Before the 19th century, Westerners relied on a book called *The Travels of Marco Polo*, written by an Italian merchant named Marco Polo, to describe this distant Eastern country. The book portrayed the ancient Chinese empire as a land of gold and immense wealth. Although many missionaries and merchants later actually traveled to the Ming Dynasty and brought back news that debunked Marco Polo's claims, this did not change the prevailing public's preconceived notions about the Ming Dynasty. Queen Elizabeth herself belonged to the group that did not understand the Ming Dynasty.

“Sissi, don’t forget, I used to be the Duke of York in Great Britain. I personally participated in the war of 1856.” Selena took a small sip of her black tea, as if recalling some long-ago events. (The Second Opium War in another world.)

"In 1856, riding the wave of their crushing victory over the Russian Empire in the Crimean War, Britain, using the Arrow Incident as a pretext, and France, using the Father Chaplain Incident as a pretext, launched a second war against the Ming Dynasty. This time, unlike the previous minor skirmish, Britain concentrated most of its fleet in the Far East and its forces in India, while France also mobilized a large army in Indochina, all to teach this arrogant dragon a profound lesson." This timeline is not the Great Qing Empire, nor is there the Taiping Rebellion; the Chinese Empire is much stronger, although there is still a significant technological gap compared to the Western powers.

"Having just escaped the Crimean War, I was begged by that little girl Victoria to be sent to the Far East, and during that time I was only given three days off in Sri Lanka." Selena complained somewhat bitterly about the current Queen Victoria of Great Britain.

P, according to the ball, 7 is 5 blame/passed away 9S1: ra!

Chapter 30 Princess Starting from Zero: Capter 29 Eastern Tales (Seeking votes and collections)

"In the first battle, the Battle of Guangzhou, I was one of the English commanders at the time, and together with Jeanne de Darc, the Duke of Orléans of France, we faced Su Beiming, the Grand Protector of the Zhennan Protectorate of the Ming Dynasty." This Duke of Orléans was the most legendary sorcerer in French history, a descendant of Joan of Arc. In this worldview, the French king was unwilling to let the English burn Joan of Arc, who was a sorcerer, at the stake. Not only that, he also gave her the title of Duke of Orléans and a fiefdom to win over this powerful lady.

"I and that little French girl used magical armor and fought her in the air for half a day in a two-on-one situation. Even though we tried our best, we couldn't defeat her." (The armor of a magical user is different from that of a magical warrior. Not only is it extra-standard, but flying is also commonplace for them.)

"Her magical energy reserves were terrifyingly high. I still can't forget the magical energy turbulence in the air, and how those turbulence ultimately flowed towards that woman. She was an opponent we couldn't defeat... Sisi, can you imagine such a battle? A battle between two sides should be a process of ebb and flow, but regardless, magical energy depletion is inevitable. But I didn't see any of that in her."

“This sense of despair is something I never experienced when I was besieging the Sevastopol fortress in Crimea, facing several Russian magic users alone. She is a complete monster.” Selena’s brows furrowed as she spoke.

It wasn't until many years later that Selena learned that the magic user named Su Beiming was not an ordinary magic user of the Ming Dynasty. Before being ousted from the court by the emperor and becoming the Grand Protector, she was the princess of that Eastern Empire and the head of all the constellations.

"I was eventually shot down by her magic cannon, while the little French girl escaped to the ship with only minor damage to her armor. I still remember that woman with silver fox ears, the disdain in her purple eyes, as if we were all ants in front of her." Selena looked up at the neatly trimmed green trees outside the window, her mind filled with thoughts.
