I, transformed into a vampire girl, sparked the Industrial Revolution.

Chapter 211 Evening Secret Meeting

Sivits Valerie and Alice said nothing, and the banquet proceeded uneventfully, but as the giant ship with the tricolor flag floating overhead began to believe that the empire might not be destroyed.

No one can stand against the Amerlane airships; at least, as people see it now, they have no way to counter that level of firepower.

Even the most elite heavy artillery dares not claim it can withstand it, and even if it does hit, so what? The besieging Sarajevo is just a group of rebels, and their strength does not support them in fighting against Amerlansi.

The Balkans were still mostly gone, but the fragmentation of the vast empire was enough to support several small states. The rebels gathered around a pot, rested and recuperated, and awaited the next instructions from the mastermind behind them.

Sivitz Valerie withdrew from the banquet and accompanied Alice as they strolled through the gardens of the Sarajevo Palace. Even amidst the chaos of the times, the former emperor's lavishly constructed royal gardens remained as beautiful as ever, and even Alice had to admit that Franz I did indeed possess a certain aesthetic talent.

"The situation in the Balkans was something we had no choice but to do."

Alice spoke first, casually stroking the grass wall. Sivitz Valerie saw Alice's hand stop on a pink flower. She nodded, and Alice picked the flower, turned her head, and placed it in the hair of the dark elf maid beside her. Although the night was dark, Sivitz Valerie could clearly see that the dark elf maid's face was bright red.

The tall woman beside her seemed to change her expression as well. It wasn't until Alice picked up the next flower with her slender fingers that the woman, who was not tall enough to tuck the flower into her head, gently tucked it into her breast pocket by standing on tiptoe. Only then did the woman with the sword relax and reveal an almost happy smile.

When Sivits Valerie saw this, she was taken aback. Gossip was rampant in some tabloids, and rumors about Alice were also flying around.

However, among all these tabloids, there is at least one thing everyone agrees on: Alice, this beautiful, lovely, and powerful girl, actually likes women.

Therefore, Alice's scandals are mainly related to the women around her, such as the Federal Government Affairs Officer of the Republic, the Chief Director of the Academy of Sciences, and even the appointment of the Vice President, which are also believed to involve some strange deals.

Of course, to the average person, this is just a rumor, and no one believes it; it's just something to talk about over tea.

But seeing Alice skillfully presenting flowers to the two female attendants gave Sivits Valerie a real "Alice-like shock," and she began to wonder if the tabloid gossip was all true?

Thinking of tabloids brought to mind their unvarnished depictions of "Alice's Boudoir Magic." Even before the domestic situation deteriorated, she secretly had someone buy her tabloids, reading them under the covers and occasionally even trying them out herself...

Thinking of this, even she couldn't help but blush, and the manly airs she had been putting on vanished instantly, making Alice suddenly feel that this crown prince was acting so coy all of a sudden.

"Well, what can be done about the state of the empire? Let's not talk about this anymore. Miss Alice, please stay at the palace tonight."

"Then we would be very grateful. However, please arrange accommodation for our two attendants that are nearby."

Alice suddenly felt that the crown prince was acting strangely. She suddenly felt that she had become the one in charge of the scene again, as if she was the only man.

There's something wrong with the crown prince. Alice wondered to herself, could it be a case of a switcheroo? If so, which side was behind it?

Alice decided to test the waters. At the banquet, she learned that the Crown Prince had successfully gained several tactical advantages with his troops despite being at a complete disadvantage. Although these tactical advantages could not be turned into strategic advantages, it was enough to show that the Crown Prince must be a strong and shrewd man.

She understands men too well; after all, she is a man herself.

She also picked a flower; in the Balkans at this time of year, the local peach blossoms were in full bloom, their pink petals delicate and beautiful. Alice handed the peach blossom in her hand to Sivitz Valerie.

"Do you like it, Your Highness? The peach blossoms in your country are truly beautiful."

Sivits Valerie paused for a moment. She had read many storybooks in the palace since she was a child, which often said: "On the road of lovers, the first step usually comes from a bouquet of flowers from the boy, and the last step comes from a bouquet of flowers from the girl."

"This...this...this......."

Sivits Valerie's mind exploded. In the midst of her dizziness, she somehow accepted the flowers and vanished before Alice could even react.

"Tsk, something's wrong."

Raffarin looked at Alice, who stood with her arms crossed, her small round hat covering half her face, looking like the protagonist in a detective novel solving a mystery under the streetlights.

"Is there something wrong with her?"

"That's right, the Crown Prince, isn't he a man?"

Alice stood with her hands behind her back. Almost ten minutes after the "crown prince" left them there, a waiter led them to their room. Along the way, Alice kept her hands on her waist, and the "little helper" hammer that Raffarin Law had given her had been turned off.

"Miss, shall I go and prepare some bathwater for you?"

Raffis helped Alice hang her coat and hat on the coat rack, then glanced at the bathroom. No matter how many lights were outside, the various living facilities in this palace were still very "medieval," and the heavy work of bathing required at least one maid.

"Thank you for your trouble, my dear little maid~"

Alice nodded, then said seriously, "Sister Luo, we feel there's something wrong with that crown prince..."

"You mean you suspect she's not the crown princess?"

Alice nodded. Raffarin Low thought for a moment and said, "This is not a difficult matter to handle. What we need is not her as a person, but the Balkan Empire in a state of near collapse. If the nobles have kidnapped the crown prince, then we can just talk about it at the negotiating table."

Ameliancée's war machine could take everything back from the negotiating table.

"Miss Alice, His Highness the Crown Prince requests your presence."

A palace servant knocked on the door, and Sivits Valerie summoned Alice.

"Ah, I guess someone wants to negotiate terms privately, hmm?"

Raffarin Lobi gave Alice a look, and she nodded: "Keep an eye on the army for me. If I don't return..."

"Will do."
