Chapter 60 Conference
When I woke up, it was already the next day.
The Time Shuttle had returned to the Royal Capital Insoraia, and Elus was not in the bedroom.
It seemed that this black-haired girl had already gone out to do some things.
However, after waking up, she didn’t tell Lonis.
She hadn’t even left a note… Because she didn’t know what Elus was doing at all, Lonis suddenly had the illusion of being abandoned.
Yesterday, she had tried so hard to make Elus happy, but in the end, this was the result.
Everything she did was within Elus’s expectations. Instead of giving her a surprise, she felt calculated and teased by the girl.
(Am I, perhaps, too incompetent?)
Thinking so dejectedly, Lonis walked out of the bedroom.
There was no one in the living room. Compared to the journey, the ship’s interior had become much quieter. Just as Lonis was about to get some milk to eat…
A voice suddenly came from behind her.
“Mm, Junior Lonis, good morning~~”
“Wuwu… Is, is it Senior Mi Xue Zhou?”
The senior hadn’t appeared for several days, and Lonis didn’t know what she had been doing recently.
But judging by her beaming face, she must have been doing very well these past few days.
“Senior, recently…”
“Mm, I’ve actually been flirting with some noble young ladies from the Kingdom of Ming. It’s really a very~ interesting thing~”
“Wuwu?”
“I found that many noble young ladies from the Kingdom of Ming, although they look very serious, are actually very wild in private! Even I can barely handle it~~~~”
Although it seemed like she was doing something morally corrupt, since they were both girls, Lonis didn’t feel disgusted. Instead, she felt a little envious.
“Senior Mi Xue Zhou, you’re amazing…”
“Ehh?”
“You really understand girls’ hearts, unlike me, I always…”
At this point, Lonis felt a little wronged.
Even though she was no longer a harem king, Elus still bullied her so excessively, treating her like a toy.
To say that she could appease her wife, wasn’t that just her own wishful thinking?
…
However, seeing her own dejection, Senior Mi Xue Zhou suddenly shook her head and said firmly, “Junior Lonis, what nonsense are you spouting?”
“Ehh?”
“You are amazing. You can handle a difficult girl like Elus. Your absolute strength must be much greater than mine.”
“Ah, ah? Senior Mi Xue Zhou, aren’t you mistaken? How could I possibly handle her…”
Lonis’s pretty face turned red. It was only her one-sidedly being toyed with by Elus. To say she had handled her was too flattering.
But…
“No, no! Don’t underestimate yourself. If conquering a normal girl is a difficulty of 10, then conquering Elus is a difficulty of 9,999,999… Well, at least I can’t make a move because it’s too difficult.”
“Is that so? But…”
“And, haven’t you made significant breakthroughs recently? Haven’t you already allowed Elus to show her true self to you without any reservations?”
“Ah?”
“When Elus came out yesterday, I could see that Junior was very happy. That was a complete release and a proof of self-disclosure. In normal times, even though Elus always teased you, she always held back.”
“!!!!”
Mi Xue Zhou’s words jolted Lonis awake like a splash of cold water.
Yes,
Although Elus had tormented her harshly yesterday, what if this was one of Elus’s “instincts”?
Because she had the bloodline of the demon race, because she had awakened the power of the demon race, and because too much malevolence had accumulated in her body, she always needed to vent, right?
And wasn’t she the best outlet?
If even she couldn’t support Elus, then who else could support Elus?
…
…
“It seems you understand now.”
Mi Xue Zhou smiled slightly and then patted Lonis’s head.
“Mm, thank you, Senior Mi Xue Zhou! Thank you so much!”
“You’re welcome. Elus has gone to the Royal Palace’s conference room. In the second wardrobe, there’s a uniform and hood for the Sword and Shield Guards.”
“Ehh?”
“It was left in the room from the last role-playing session. You can borrow it to wear, Lonis.”
“Thank you very much!!!!!”
Lonis bowed thankfully to her senior and then rushed out without delay.
With this outfit, she could see Elus directly without alarming anyone.
…
At the same time, in the conference room of the Kingdom of Ming.
Elus was sitting at the head of the table, earnestly stating:
“Well, that’s how it is. Princess Cécile, please forgive me for using such a stratagem, which has damaged your reputation.”
On both sides of the conference table were not only General Gu Yanis and Nalonate, Isumi and Dean Emerald, but even Princess Cécile herself had come.
It was just that this silver-haired girl was still very weak and could only sit in a wheelchair, participating in the meeting with difficulty:
“No, Predecessor Elus, what you did has already helped us a great deal. After all, we never expected to capture Candelle alive.”
…
Gu Yanis also said very seriously to Elus:
“Master Elus, the military also thanks you for rescuing those captured Sword and Shield Guards. If it weren’t for you, they don’t know what kind of torture they would have endured.”
If Elus’s previous ascension to power was merely a choice dictated by the situation, then this purple-haired female general had now completely surrendered to Elus.
…
Hearing everyone say this, Elus assumed the air of a leader and continued to guide the meeting forward:
“Then, since no one has any objections. The demon race should retreat next. What we need to consider is how to maximize our interests under the current situation.”
“Should we take this opportunity to launch a full-scale attack on the demon race?”
“A certain degree of deterrence is necessary. I believe that Candelle is the key to breaking the current predicament. While the demon race is retreating, we can…”
…
…
Elus was meticulously explaining. In the planning of these past few days, she had conceived a very complete plan for the Kingdom of Ming.
As long as they followed her plan, some of the country’s problems would be significantly improved, and the demon race would be hesitant to invade again.
However…
Just then, a very urgent sound of footsteps came from outside the closed wooden door.
