How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 12 : Guardian Knight

"Sister Ela, you don't look very well."

Elashia's face now had two deep dark circles under her eyes.

"Haha, your sister probably had insomnia last night."

Elashia made an excuse to Sophia.

After all, yesterday Candice had inexplicably found her, then inexplicably woken her up, then inexplicably asked her a bunch of questions, and finally abruptly said goodbye.

Now Elashia still couldn't figure out what had triggered Candice.

But that's not right, in the ga, Candice was the embodint of "Intelligence," she shouldn't do such inexplicable things.

Elashia remained puzzled.

"Fei, wait for your sister for a mont. Sister Ela will bring your sister right in."

"Okay~"

Anticipation was already overflowing from the girl's eyes.

In the past, the sisters' etings involved both being blindfolded and brought to a special eting place.

It was just like a certain country's northern region in Elashia's previous world.

Thinking of this, Elashia's gaze toward Little Sophia grew even gentler.

"Sister will be right back."

Elashia patted Sophia's head and left.

Walking outside the garden, Elashia imdiately saw Cecilia anxiously pacing in place.

"Lord Cecilia!"

Cecilia looked toward Elashia.

Elashia walked up to Cecilia, turned her head toward the entrance in what she thought was a cool gesture, then walked ahead into the depths of the garden.

But her self-perceived cool behavior left the internally anxious Cecilia stunned.

She... why did she turn her head like that?

This... she's not planning to...

She recalled the killing thods on the battlefield.

Cecilia's breathing stopped.

"No... no... no!"

Cecilia pulled out a paper hidden deep in her pocket and used a battle technique to charge toward Elashia.

"Eh?"

Elashia walked for quite a while before realizing Cecilia hadn't followed.

"EH!"

Elashia saw a golden teor descending from the sky.

Then, Elashia witnessed a scene she would never forget.

WC, Great Wilderness Star Fall!

And it's coming toward ?

Before Elashia could react, Cecilia descended from the sky, landing with a "boom" in front of Elashia.

But her posture was strange.

She landed on the ground kneeling, holding a piece of paper with both hands.

Elashia, unable to look closely, only saw the four largest characters on it—"Slave Contract."

Oh my.

So sudden.

The pink-haired petite girl really couldn't react.

"Please spare my younger sister!"

?

What is this?

How did this suddenly develop in the adult ga direction?

In Cecilia's route, if Elashia wanted to "do good deeds," she had to make Cecilia sign this slave contract, because after signing the contract, she could take away at least nine-tenths of Cecilia's "Qi."

"Qi" is a warrior's energy.

With her weakened and myself strengthened, destroying Elasia would be easier.

But if she truly wanted to save Elasia and humanity, she absolutely couldn't do this!

Elashia wasn't a warrior after all. She couldn't even use a battle technique, so that "Qi" on her would be useless!

Moreover, Cecilia was one of Elashia's favorite characters in the ga. In several routes, Cecilia's endings had made Elashia cry.

No, she had to talk so sense into this foolish woman.

"Why would I want you as a slave? Get up!"

Cecilia refused to get up no matter what.

"Oh my!"

Elashia was exasperated.

Elashia snatched the slave contract from Cecilia.

Cecilia felt the slave contract being taken from her hand.

Finally, am I about to lose my freedom too...

But if it can protect my sister...

"Rip."

An angry Elashia tore the slave contract in her hand to pieces.

"Eh?"

"Are you stupid?! If you really beca my slave, what would I need your sister for! What would you have to negotiate with !"

"I..."

Cecilia certainly wasn't stupid; this was why she refused to sign the slave contract when the old emperor forced her to.

But the old emperor, as bad as he was, was a normal person whose actions were predictable.

But not Elashia!

Seeing Cecilia's expression, Elashia seed to understand.

In the ga, there was only one way to force Cecilia to sign the slave contract.

That was if "Elashia" had a high enough hidden attribute.

This attribute was rather strange.

The way to obtain it was even stranger.

Like not upgrading when you could.

Like repeatedly wasting ti in dungeons where you knew you'd get nothing.

Like surrendering when you were about to win.

Like approaching characters with the intent to "do good deeds" but ultimately doing nothing.

Just doing incomprehensible behaviors would increase this strange value.

Later, Elashia figured it out.

This attribute was called "Madness."

For Cecilia, compared to a rational villain whose actions were predictable, a madman whose actions were completely unpredictable was more terrifying.

Perhaps killing the old Elasia Emperor and then eting Cecilia, who was returning with her army, alone really scared her. (´･_･`)

But there was no choice at the ti, after all, it was a system task. ╭(╯3╰)╮

"Co here!"

Elashia pulled Cecilia up and brought her under a big tree.

She wanted to sort things out with Cecilia.

But before she could speak, the scene before her froze.

[System Task Issued]

?

[Task One: Slap Cecilia hard across the face, then say: "Be my dog? You're not worthy." Task Reward: Warrior level breakthrough to level 10]

[Task Two: Take off your shoes, extend your foot toward Cecilia's face, then say in a very punchable tone: "What a small fry, lick my foot and I'll allow you to be my dog" Task Reward: Level cap breakthrough to level 50]

[Task Three: Treat her with sincerity, tell her what's in your heart, and arrange a suitable place to tell her the truth about the Undead Calamity, and tell her "That original Cecilia is the Cecilia I want." Task Reward: Dragon Blood Essence]

Task One was too despicable, imdiately abandoned.

Task Two nearly made Elashia spit out blood.

I do have pink hair, and I am small, but does that automatically make a smug loli?!

Now Elashia understood, the more dangerous the task, the higher the reward.

The size of the task reward was like a danger alarm.

"I choose three."

[Very well]

The system's voice sounded sowhat disappointed.

But Elashia didn't care.

Elashia found a clean, flat ground.

"Sit down."

After seeing the system's task, Elashia's voice had cald down.

Seeing Cecilia still reluctant to sit with her, Elashia gently tugged at her with her small hand.

"Sit down."

Compared to last ti, Elashia's voice was much softer.

Cecilia eventually sat down.

Cecilia was a knight of "Protection," and only by truly entering her heart could one make her exert her true strength.

If only using her fear, not only would Cecilia be unable to truly display her real strength, but that wasn't Elashia's style either.

She actually knew little about handling interpersonal relationships, but in her previous life, she was called a social master.

Even the most introverted people would gradually open up when interacting with her.

But she actually only knew one technique—treating people with sincerity.

When eting people worthy of her sincerity, she would treat them sincerely; when eting unworthy people, she would simply stay away.

"Maybe... I scared you yesterday... do you think I'm a madwoman?" ^-^

"I wouldn't dare, my lord!"

Cecilia lowered her head.

"Co on, let explain what was really happening yesterday..."

So, Elashia told Cecilia everything about the events before and after the coup.

"Actually, when I went outside the city alone to face you all, though I looked composed on the surface, I was so nervous inside that I could barely speak."

"After all, if I hadn't scared you then, our empire's strongest army would have crushed to dust in minutes." ╮(╯▽╰)╭

[Task completed]

[Task Reward: Dragon Blood Essence (Revive a character who has been dead for less than one day)]

Cecilia didn't speak, just listened silently.

Elashia had to continue.

"Actually, I don't understand politics at all, and I'm even more clueless about military affairs, so I don't really want to be emperor."

Cecilia didn't speak, just looked at Elashia with a face that clearly said "you're lying."

Elashia's face darkened.

It seed she really couldn't make her believe in such a short ti.

The awkward silence continued for a long while before Elashia sighed and said: "Sigh, if you don't want to believe , so be it."

"Anyway, don't be too afraid of . I will absolutely not threaten you with your sister, and I won't confine your sister like the old Elasia Emperor did."

"But, I absolutely won't let you leave now. I need you to work for for a while."

Upon hearing this, Cecilia imdiately stood up and excitedly knelt on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Elashia's face darkened.

"Sit back down!"

Cecilia had no choice but to sit back down.

Elashia knew that giving Cecilia and Sophia freedom now would be tantamount to exiling them.

In the storyline, if "Elashia" was too kind and gave the two sisters freedom before establishing enough bonds with Cecilia, Cecilia would definitely take Sophia and secretly leave.

Even if she tried to stop them, she wouldn't be able to.

After all, she couldn't win in a fight.

"I know what you're thinking, Cecilia."

Elashia looked at Cecilia with a dark face.

"You definitely want to take Sophia and run away secretly, right?"

The fake smile on Cecilia's face quickly faltered.

"Rember this: you absolutely cannot run."

"If you run, I promise you—you will definitely regret it."

"If you run, you will pay the price, Sophia will pay the price, I will too, and every person in this world will."

"At the right ti, I will tell you the reason for my coup, and I will also tell you why I just said 'you absolutely cannot run.'"

Elashia's expression was extrely serious.

"Since I dare to let you sisters reunite, I have a reason not to let you take Sophia away."

Elashia said with a confident smile:

"I can heal Sophia's legs."

This simple sentence was like an earth-shattering thunderbolt to Cecilia, making her heart skip a beat.

"What!"

Cecilia sat up again, grabbing Elashia's hand.

"Are you telling the truth?!"

Previously, Cecilia had tried everything to heal Sophia's legs, but always ended up with nothing. She had even thought Sophia's legs were beyond healing. Elashia's words rekindled the long-held wish she had almost abandoned.

If it was this mysterious girl, perhaps she really could do it!

"You're... you're hurting , let go." (>﹏_
