Wearing the first-generation "Alstorfo" crown woven with gold wire and inlaid with opals, amber and lapis lazuli, and wearing a red and black tulip-patterned robe and cloak, Jiang Tian finally wore the crown amid cheers and chants. Go through the corridor and come to the exclusive box on the third floor above the theater.
Then, at the moment when the guards who checked the room again closed the door and blocked out the outside sound, he also took off his crown and threw it aside with relief, took off his cloak, and loosened his straight and well-organized robe. , kicked off his boots and fell down on the soft sofa.
As the opening overture was vaguely heard from outside, all the noise slowly subsided, leaving only the continuous playing of instruments and singing on the stage. Jiang Tian sunk tightly into the velvet of the sofa, closed his eyes and relaxed, leaving only the faint sound of singing in his ears.
Of course, this is also the first time he has appeared in an informal public setting; just to show some support in disguise. That is, a series of plans proposed by the Education and Literature Committee of the Administrative Committee of the Government Council under the leadership of Faius.
The New Dynasty/Royal Government is currently promoting the popularization of education and the construction of related public facilities; it also allocates some funds and long-term and short-term budgets to hire and support artists or folk artists in specialized fields. It is responsible for the policies and development of the New Dynasty. Promotional activities.
This point plays right into Jiang Tian's wish. After all, no modern person can better understand than him the huge role that ideas, propaganda and public opinion can play in national life, as well as the huge harm and negative impact it will bring if left unchecked.
Therefore, he not only approved the royal family's special funds, which were several times the amount of the proposal, but also proposed corresponding long-term budget projects; but the scope was also expanded to four sub-committees including education, literature and art, publicity and agitation, and press and publication. Let’s work together and advance this project.
Among them: reestablishing censorship of newspapers in the capital and its major cities. Mainly for the Kingdom's major affairs and government news, it must be reported first by a special official publishing agency before it can be reprinted and commented, and standards and penalties for violations of other reports are specified.
Privately, as official agents, private mobile performance groups, minstrels and singers are hired; even part-time performing arts groups such as the Roma people sing tendentious poems and songs and dances everywhere, mainly to the old aristocrats who like to hear them. and bureaucratic scandal crimes.
In addition, we support some unsuccessful writers and screenwriters in the city, as well as entertainers who are slightly famous but have a difficult life. Including providing corresponding living allowances and performance opportunities, allowing them to write some short stories about eradicating aliens, improving life and protecting the people under the rule of the new dynasty.
The last step is to establish a number of specialized literary and art schools to admit children from poor families in batches; learn preliminary writing and music theory, and then learn singing, dancing, musical instruments, speech and poetry creation, etc.; and finally select the best among them to form a national Performance group.
Usually, graduates are organized into many performing arts troupes or enter the military band; they provide daily comfort performances for the kingdom's troops and tour for free between cities. If we continue to promote it in this way, we will naturally fill our spiritual needs/entertainment life in peacetime.
Therefore, Jiang Tian's appearance this time is also an official endorsement and platform for the newly established national performance troupe "Yin Xisi". After all, although the Free Army from the south has taken power, the remnants of the old dynasty cannot be erased so easily.
At least, most of the people working in the fields of literature, art and entertainment in the royal capital Seine City still have strong remnants of the old era, and they are neither able to change that quickly nor easily. It was just that Jiang Tian was taking this opportunity to escape from the pile of official duties, and Xiaomei heard the sound of light footsteps in a moment.
Of course, at this time, there were only a few people who were qualified to enter the box without alerting the guards. Among them, Paulina, who is in charge of the garrison in the capital region, has a great responsibility and is still dealing with the aftermath of the return of the First Legion; Marlena and her daughter have just reunited and they will not run over.
Miss Flanders was in the theater at the moment; however, she was surrounded by a group of bank owners with southern backgrounds who wanted to get a share of the capital's underdeveloped financial industry. Another maid with a mask, Liya, never shows up voluntarily without being summoned.
Therefore, the candidate who is free and available to appear here is ready to be revealed. "Teresa?" Following Jiang Tian's cry, a petite and lovely figure crossed the cover of the back of the sofa like a cat, and suddenly sat lightly on his chest.
As expected, she was the adopted daughter of Marlena, wearing a golden dress with layers of lace and a ruffle collar, a shawl with pale hair and a few bows tied around her shoulders. She was actually Teresa, a blood demon mutant/odd species; even after several years. She had barely grown up, but she glared at Jiang Tian angrily.
Then, Jiang Tian gently poked his bulging little face like a pufferfish with a finger and scratched it twice. Suddenly he could no longer maintain his angry look, and he let out a sigh of relief. Jiang Tian then smiled and looked at her winking and said, "What do you want to do?"
"I have to ask you, Your Majesty." Teresa, who didn't know her exact age but was still full of baby fat/bumpy face, also pretended to be sad and said: "You can find the real Princess Theresia. Now, as a substitute for comforting my mother, I can only stay away."
"Then what do you want to do? Finding Princess Theresia for her is the promise I made to Marlena, and it is a fact that cannot be changed even now." Jiang Tian was calm and calm after hearing this. Smiling: "Or, do you actually want to get more compensation from me?"
"Your Majesty clearly knows that although my mother has repeatedly promised that she will treat me as a real daughter, she has always done so." However, upon hearing this, Teresa's face rarely showed some aura and shyness: " But she’s back, and I’m still a little worried.”
"After all, Theresa is my mother's real daughter, and she has been separated for so many years. I'm afraid my mother can't wait and will try her best to compensate and comfort her. So in order not to embarrass my mother, I can only avoid it temporarily; Leave time and space to them."
"It makes me happy that you think like this, and it is enough to prove your intentions." After hearing this, Jiang Tian calmed down and said seriously: "But I can also see that Marlena's feelings for you are also true and selfless. "Even if you have an extra sister, it still won't change much."
"I feel more at ease after getting His Majesty's confirmation, but..." After Teresa said this, she stopped talking with a pitiful face: "But after all, I have long been different from ordinary people, and I'm afraid there is nothing I can do anymore. When you grow up, you won’t be able to continue your bloodline like Theresia.”
"In this case, what do you want from me, as a guarantee of status?" After hearing this, Jiang Tian carelessly touched her little face and said, "You are already the honorary deputy director of the Abnormalities Handling Bureau. , enjoy the title of baronet and annuity, as well as an exclusive budget.”
That's right, because of her special physique and sensory abilities, Teresa is now one of the important senior officials of the Abnormalities Bureau under the Kingdom's new government. She ranks second only to the other directors, one chief and three deputies; although she cannot command others. The Animal Knights, the Paranormal Hunting Team, and the Devout Guards.
But she has an action team dedicated to protecting her; it is composed of knights, hunters, and a surrendered alien. Because of her special sensing ability against all kinds of extraterrestrial creatures/alien, it has also become one of the insurance measures within the Abnormal Things Handling Bureau to prevent the slightest change.
It is enough to prevent those aliens with ulterior motives from changing their appearance and sneaking into the kingdom's army and government, and even some powerful departments. And the first thing she did after arriving in the capital was to take a carriage and walk through the streets and alleys of the city, scanning for potential aliens like a human radar.
"These are actually temporary illusions. Now that you can grant it to me, you can also take it away easily." However, Teresa's face turned red, and she said upset and uneasy: "I just want to get further. Promise, just like you did in my sleep.”
As soon as these words came out, she suddenly seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She didn't dare to look at Jiang Tian again; instead, she laid her little face on his chest, waiting for the man's final judgment. Because of those punishments from dreams, she always woke up from the bed soaked.
"It turns out that you are no longer satisfied with just being Marlena's daughter. You actually want to be my daughter?" After a moment, Jiang Tiancai replied with mixed feelings: "Even if you have to pay a price full of taboos and paradoxes for this, Are you willing to risk ruining your reputation?"
"Your Majesty, do you think that I, an inhuman being like me, actually have nothing to lose? Do I still care about my external reputation and honor?" However, Theresa raised her eyes and said with tears in her eyes: "At least in this world. Before I was completely rejected by this world and destroyed by my inner instinct, I had already gained it.”
Speaking of this, her whole body gradually became hot, and she got closer and closer to Jiang Tian's chest; and her withered white hair color gradually transformed into a bright and eye-catching blood red; it was like there was another her, reviving inside her body. His eyes were as bright as coming over, and he murmured vaguely: "Look, this is what you like most about me in your dreams."
"Well, I hope you won't regret this!" In fact, looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Tian, who had been alone in the military for several months, was inevitably ready to make a move... A moment later, Teresa was The pet left outside, the humanoid blood crow locked in a silver cage, suddenly had its feathers bursting.
