Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 926 - 75 Discussion of the Council of Seven Sages' Strategy_2

Blue Peacock Mask: Their behavior is classified as protection, but if reported, it equates to surveillance, which violates the spirit of the charter and undermines the legitimacy of the Court of Judgment.

Red Scimitar: Do you really think the Court of Judgment will strictly abide by such things?

Puppet Bear: Alright, you mercenaries who are used to scheming and trickery will naturally find this hard to believe, but the Court of Judgment places great value on principles. They will strictly adhere to them. Otherwise, given their usual conduct, with so many groups and factions offended and punished by them, attacks would have arisen under countless pretexts a long time ago.

Old Skeleton: Many envy the power of the Court of Judgment, but under the banner of Her Highness Emuralin's righteousness, no one dares to openly refute or accuse them. While the principles set by Emuralin may act as a form of restraint, they also ensure the righteousness of the Court, preventing many politicians from daring to criticize them recklessly.

Old Skeleton: The most foolish way to deal with the Court of Judgment is to confront them head-on. The smarter approach is to learn to exploit various rules, circumventing their gaze and their blade.

Long-handed Monkey: Since that young lady's involvement won't lead to the Court of Judgment reporting further, why shouldn't we take action? After all, the Court already knows about it.

Puppet Bear: No, no, no, they only know about the 'Connector' for now. They may not fully understand our matters. If we act excessively, we might actually draw their attention, exposing our presence from the shadows into the light.

Long-handed Monkey: This won't work, and that won't work—what exactly is your plan? Are we supposed to wait until Alanna reclaims control of the 'Connector,' turning our prior actions into a joke? Then, the other peripheral organizations will see this and deem the 'Council of Seven Sages' incapable, gradually distancing themselves and ignoring our commands?

Blue Peacock Mask: Keep calm. This small matter won't necessarily cause major changes in other peripheral organizations, but leaving it unchecked is indeed a ticking time bomb.

Blue Peacock Mask: Use a multi-pronged approach. There are always many ways to solve a situation. Since Alanna's greatest protective asset is her identity as a songstress, let that aura gradually fade. If Hexia's presence draws the Court's attention, then make sure Hexia, the songstress, seldom approaches Alanna.

Others: Madam is right.

Among the group, Blue Peacock Mask represented a certain official faction. Since she had spoken, there was undoubtedly a plan and strategy in place.

Blue Peacock Mask: Next, you should assign people to closely monitor those around Alanna to prevent them from interacting with any significant figures. At the same time, don't leave them idle. Find tasks that keep them busy and moving, which can avoid many troubles.

The group all nodded in agreement, indicating that they would arrange for subordinates to handle matters. Finally, Blue Peacock Mask turned to Silver Green Creation, who had been silent in the corner.

Blue Peacock Mask: Yin Qing, do you have anything to say?

Silver Green Creation: Not for now. I've been analyzing the technology of the 'Connector' and studying areas for improvement.

Blue Peacock Mask: That's fine as well. Not everyone in the organization needs to manage affairs. Focusing on research is also valuable—after all, that's the foundation.

After further division of tasks and deliberation among the group, the surrounding light and shadows gradually dimmed, and the meeting room was once again emptied.

...

In the evening, Geyin, who had stayed in his bedroom for a long while, was invited out by Tilan for dinner together.

The two sat in a spacious dining hall. The long table, which could seat dozens, was laid out with only two sets of chairs and tableware, making the space appear somewhat empty. Fortunately, the neatly dressed maids on both sides filled the atmosphere with a sense of grandeur—or perhaps excess.

"Do we really need this many people waiting here?" Tilan glanced at the row of maids behind Geyin and the similarly dressed row of dark red rose-clad maids behind herself.

"Lady Tilan, please don't mind." A maid at the forefront stepped forward to answer.

"If we don't see Lady Tilan often, everyone will feel lost and uneasy. Dinner is also a rare opportunity for everyone to gather together—please forgive us, Lord Tilan." She offered a seemingly formal justification.

As the master of the mansion, Tilan spent most of her time either attending classes or being outside. At home, much of her time was spent alone or sleeping. Upon reflection, if it weren't for occasional dinners, many maids might not see her even once a month.

Fine, Tilan couldn't find a reason to refute them for now, so she let them be.

"If you think the time we spend together is too little and seldom see me, you can dedicate yourselves to diligent learning. I will examine everyone's progress periodically."

Tilan thought about it—it indeed made sense to assign tasks to these maids. Other than herself and Geyin, the mansion had very few matters to attend to. Rather than allowing them to waste their time and lives waiting endlessly, she might as well encourage them to learn and improve themselves. This way, if she needed manpower later on, they could assist her.

"Thank you, Lord Tilan. However, there is one matter we would like to request from you." Another maid stepped forward.

"What is it?" Tilan asked curiously.

"If we make progress in our learning, could Lord Tilan grant us some form of honor as a reward?"

"Oh, that's it? Don't worry—you won't lack for bonuses or resources." She nodded in agreement.

"It's not about money, really. We genuinely don't lack wealth. It's just that we long for some kind of recognition..." Two other maids stepped forward to explain.

As members of the Blood Clan blessed with long lifespans, their life expectancy might even surpass that of the Elves. Their family wealth, passed down through generations, was considerable. However, it was the lack of protected status and recognition that had prevented them from being bold and assertive, keeping them from acquiring assets openly.
