How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 161.2 : Interlude: Sisters Separated for Ten Years

As news of the goblin disaster's end spread throughout Elasia, people's evaluation of Aelia in her hotown also changed dramatically.

The adventurers who once called her a weirdo now regarded her as a prophet and idol, while the villagers also revered her as a representative of Her Majesty Elashia's will.

Especially in recent days, after several well-inford people brought back news that Aelia had beco the Imperial Guard's Chief of Staff, the villagers' evaluation of her rose another octave.

This morning in the village was also bustling.

"I said Aelia was right! Who could have thought that these seemingly unthreatening goblins would have such powerful destructive force!"

"Those who mocked her back then laughed so wildly, now they're just as afraid!"

"It was still Her Majesty Elashia who had keen insight, using Aelia's wisdom to the fullest!"

"The pearl finally found its day to shine!"

"..."

Aelia, walking through all this, paid no attention to people's evaluations of her.

She had never been soone who cared about others' opinions of her.

If she were, she wouldn't have done the sa thing day after day for ten years.

So naturally, she had no thoughts of returning ho in glory.

To prevent her hocoming from causing unnecessary commotion, she had specifically not worn her full-coverage armor today.

Instead, she wore quite plain clothes.

She ca today to see soone.

Soone she had been separated from for a full ten years.

And two people she had been separated from for eight years.

Walking through the bustling crowd, she headed toward the cetery in the eastern part of town.

There was a small tombstone there.

Although she hadn't been here since she and her parents buried her sister's belongings together, she could still quickly find her sister's tombstone.

Under the tombstone, besides so of her sister's belongings buried ten years ago, there was nothing else.

This was one of the reasons Aelia had been unwilling to co here before.

The day after her sister blocked those goblins attacking them to protect her, the adventurers commissioned by their family finally arrived late.

At that ti, nothing remained at the scene except bloodstains.

Her sister's death had already been a foregone conclusion then.

After her sister died, not long after, Aelia's parents also left this world in grief over losing their daughter.

The originally happy family of four was thus torn apart, leaving only Aelia alive.

"Sister..."

Aelia took out ice-blue forget--not flowers from her bosom and placed them on her sister's tombstone.

"I'm sorry, sister. For these ten years, I never had the courage to see you."

Aelia sat down and spoke to herself.

Usually taciturn, she finally opened up at this mont.

"Ten years have passed, and I have many things I want to tell you."

Looking at the tombstone that buried her sister who died protecting her, Aelia smiled and said:

"These ten years have been the most turbulent and fluctuating decade of my life."

"At first, I just wanted to avenge you and Mom and Dad, so I went to learn combat skills on my own..."

While telling her sister's tombstone about her early journey, Aelia recalled those days when she learned goblin-slaying skills.

Her teacher wasn't human, but a goblin hiding in a cave.

Goblins were cave-dwelling creatures, but they couldn't dig holes themselves.

They could only seize caves dug by other creatures.

Goblins were also cave-dwelling creatures, but as goblin influence expanded, the goblins who were slaughtered in large numbers were almost extinct.

Aelia's "master" was an old goblin who had systematized thods through battles with goblins.

Goblins were quite shrewd creatures. After learning of Aelia's background, to have Aelia help clear the goblins around him, he taught Aelia everything he knew.

But at that ti, she only wanted to avenge her sister, only wanted to kill all the goblins around her ho, and had no thought of exterminating all goblins.

However, the old goblin, who understood this very well, didn't mind at all.

Because he knew—people change.

The old goblin was right. Under his guidance, Aelia quickly learned thods to slaughter goblins and soon graduated.

At the end of the course, he arranged a carefully designed test for Aelia.

He had her go alone to eliminate a goblin cave.

As a result, when Aelia successfully reached the depths of the cave, she was indeed shocked by what she saw there.

n with their bellies ripped open, won used by goblins as breeding tools.

That scene deeply shocked young Aelia.

It was after that incident that Aelia completely transford from an ordinary girl into a [Goblin Slayer].

She realized—tragedies like her sister's didn't just happen to her.

They happened in every corner of Elasia.

"So, your sister ambitiously dread of killing all the goblins in Elasia."

Aelia smiled sowhat self-mockingly and continued:

"Then ca an extrely tedious process."

"After registering as an adventurer, I just kept my head down killing goblins. When I ca to my senses, I had beco a high-level adventurer."

"During this process, I also t many friends, and it was they who allowed to maintain my humanity through cold killing."

"Days passed like this. Although every day was full of danger, I ultimately survived safely."

"Perhaps, if everything had continued like this, I might have eventually died in so failed goblin subjugation mission..."

"I didn't dare co see you before precisely because of this reason."

Aelia was afraid that her sister's spirit in heaven would worry about her after knowing these things, so she had never co to her sister's grave.

However, thinking of this, Aelia showed a gentle smile to her sister's tombstone.

"Until once when I went to town, I received a mysterious letter."

"The person who wrote the letter told she could help kill all the goblins in the country, so we wouldn't have to live in shadows anymore."

"It wasn't until I heard discussions from people around that I learned that was the current Her Majesty the Empress."

"Finally, with her help, I joined the Elasian Imperial Guard."

"Those skills and habits I developed during goblin subjugation back then were thus able to play their maximum role with the country's support."

Speaking of this, tears welled up in Aelia's eyes.

"Finally, the entire nation's power was mobilized by us, and after experiencing a massive battle, we completely eliminated all goblins in Elasia."

"Those won plundered by goblins also received national relief."

"Countless broken families could finally be reunited..."

Speaking of this, Aelia was already sobbing.

"Sister, although I couldn't protect you then... I promise you... such tragedies will never happen again on Elasian soil..."

"And your sister... also got a position very suitable for her in Her Majesty Elashia's army... so sister doesn't need to worry anymore..."

"I will also spend my life repaying the country and Her Majesty the Empress's kindness..."

Although crying, Aelia's face showed a smile.

The source of tragedy had been eliminated, and she had gained a bright future...

Sister's spirit in heaven could surely rest in peace now...
