Chapter 1,290 Camille's Disguise

Dominic passed away, and Vasili was also very sad.

For several days, I didn't even have any appetite.

In Vasili's room, Mond persuaded Vasili, who was sitting on a chair with a not-so-good look on his face:

"Your Majesty, the passing of Dominic is indeed very regrettable, but please cheer up."

"Alas..." Vasily sighed, "Even Dominic is gone. There are not many reliable talents left in the army..."

"I didn't expect...I would be back in a situation where no one is available..."

Having said this, Vasili paused.

He recalled the talents that Dominic recommended to him when he went to meet Dominic before he died.

"Mond."

Vasily seemed to have remembered something funny and said with a smile:

"Before Dominic left, he recommended a girl to me. He hoped that I could directly promote this girl to become the new prime minister of our country."

Hearing the word "new prime minister", Mond's brows frowned slightly.

"Girl? Which girl?"

"It's one of Dominic's students, named Camille Yang. A little girl in her early 20s."

"After I said I would not use this Camille, Dominic actually asked me to kill Camille to prevent Camille from being used by other countries."

"Dominic is really out of his mind. He actually plans to ask me to hand over the position of Prime Minister of the Empire to such a guy who has no qualifications and is a woman."

Mond did not completely agree with what Vasily said.

Although his relationship with Dominic is not good, he also knows that Dominic is not a person who talks freely.

He strongly recommended this Camille, and it was certainly not without reason.

——Camille Yang…

Mond silently remembered the name.

Mond would not let others threaten his position as chancellor.

If someone threatens his current high position, Mond will not hesitate to drive that person away or let him disappear from the world.

Over the years, he has secretly eliminated many talented people who might threaten his position.

…

…

Immediately after leaving Vasili's room, Mond called his cronies.

"Go and investigate the daily life of Dominic's student, Camille Yang."

"I want to know what this Camille does on a daily basis."

"Especially what books does she read on weekdays."

"Yes!" His cronies shouted loudly, and then left quickly, preparing to organize manpower to complete this new task assigned by Mondstadt.

…

…

Going to a pub to have a few drinks is one of Camille’s daily must-dos.

The pubs that Camille frequented were numerous and varied.

Among the taverns that Camille frequents, there are high-end taverns like the Bacchanalia, as well as ordinary taverns with cheaper drinks.

When drinking in the pub, Camille would occasionally drink and read a book.

Today, Camille went to a relatively ordinary tavern to enjoy some wine and read quietly.

Camille sat on a small table in the tavern, standing the book on the table, reading, and taking a few sips of the drink at hand from time to time.

Camille didn't notice that there was a young man secretly looking at her at a table not far from her.

His eyes were always focused on the cover of the book in Camille's hand, silently remembering the name of the book.

The young man who was secretly observing Camille was once a spy for the army. He was very familiar with how to observe the movement of a target without being discovered.

After feeling that there is nothing left to observe,

The young man silently put the drink money on the table and left the pub

Until the young man left, Camille didn't realize that she was being followed or observed.

But she is not afraid of being observed.

After all - in order to prevent others from knowing her true identity, she had taken detailed precautions a long time ago.

…

…

"That Camille is actually watching "Pity"?"

Mond raised his eyebrows and asked the henchman who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.

"yes!"

His cronies echoed loudly:

"According to the report of the person I sent - the book Camille was reading in the tavern today was none other than "Compassion"!"

"Furthermore, according to all the collected information, what Camille reads the most in the tavern is Compassion. Other than that, the books he reads the most are mainly novels!"

After listening to the report of his cronies, Mond sneered disdainfully.

"Hmph! It seems that Camille really has no ability. That Dominic may be really sick and confused, and he actually recommends such a talentless person."

"Compassion" - a masterpiece written by a famous scholar more than a hundred years ago.

This great scholar made an astonishing political claim.

His proposition is quite complex, but it can be summed up in simple words - govern the country with kindness.

The king takes the lead in being a kind person, and then promotes the trend of kindness throughout the country, so that all citizens become kind people.

As long as everyone is kind, the country will naturally become stronger and more stable.

Once this book was published, it was criticized by many people.

Those who criticized this book all agreed that this scholar was messing around.

His political propositions were totally unrealistic.

So over the years, people have only regarded this "Compassion" as a funny book.

It is for this reason that Mond disdained Camille, who actually liked to read such funny books.

How could someone who likes to read such funny books have any real talent?

Mond silently put down his guard against Camille.

Since this Camille was just a straw bag who would not threaten his position as prime minister, Mond naturally would not pay any attention to her or be on guard against her.

…

…

Camille walked back home and back to the room silently, holding "Compassion" in his arms.

After returning to the room, Camille casually threw "Compassion" in his arms to the ground beside him.

Then he looked at the mountains of books in front of him.

These mountains of books are basically history books of various countries, as well as the experience of governing the country written by some monarchs in history.

Many years ago, not long after being adopted by Dominic, Camille would deliberately take funny books like "Mercy" out to read.

This was to make outsiders think that she was just a fool with no real talent and could only read such funny books.

When reading such funny books in the pub, Camille was not really reading them.

She was just pretending to turn the pages, but in fact, she was summarizing and thinking about the experience of some books she had read recently.

The reason for doing this was to make others despise her, ignore her, and no longer pay attention to her.

Disguising herself and letting others see the false self after the disguise - this is the most common way Camille protects herself.
