How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 174 : In Places of Corruption, Flowers of Life Bloom

"But do you know... the reason flowers that bloom on corrupt earth are beautiful... is because they have endured suffering they should never have had to bear..."

"Beautiful flowers should bloom in gardens, blossoming safely each day under the gardener's care..."

"They shouldn't have to endure the harm of storms and droughts alone on corrupt earth..."

Candice held the trembling girl in her arms even tighter.

"Being able to endure all this... you're already amazing... my dear niece..."

"So... please don't shoulder all these negative emotions alone..."

Having experienced such a childhood, Elashia didn't beco the world-destroying witch Candice had imagined, but instead beca a saint capable of saving the world.

Humans had given her nothing but harm, yet what she gave back to those around her was all gentleness.

What blood on the corrupt earth wasn't man-eating monsters, but beautiful flowers.

However, this "saint" was only sixteen years old.

Moreover, this "saint's" heart wasn't actually strong—it was even extrely fragile.

But—she still shouldered burdens that her frail shoulders couldn't bear.

She could always dissolve the sadness in others' hearts like a loving mother, yet always bore her own negative emotions alone...

How could she not feel heartache for such a niece?

At this mont, Elashia still didn't know what she should do in her aunt's arms.

But she only knew—Aunt seed to very much hope she could open her heart to her.

And she now... actually also needed soone who could let her properly vent the pain in her heart.

Whether it was the emotions of "Elashia" remaining in her body, or as an Elashia who originally lived happily but was unreasonably transported to such a desperate world, she needed such a person...

"..."

Candice could feel her chest getting wet.

But for so reason, when Elashia cried in Candice's arms, she made no sound.

She just shed tears, but endured not making any noise.

Candice knew—Elashia didn't want to pass her inner negative emotions to her.

So Elashia tried her utmost not to cry out loud.

But she hoped Elashia could properly release her inner emotions in her arms.

After all, Elashia had already... shouldered too many things alone...

"Your Majesty... I said... I'm not only Elasia's Pri Minister, but also your aunt connected by blood. Please... don't suppress your emotions in my arms..."

Candice knew that just saying this wasn't enough to make Elashia truly release all her emotions in her arms.

But she also knew—what she should say to make Elashia completely stop suppressing her emotions.

"Elashia... please stop suppressing your emotions... if you keep doing this... Aunt... will also be very sad..."

"Wuu..."

Sure enough, as soon as Elashia heard she would be sad, she let out sobbing sounds.

Looking at the girl in her arms, Candice smiled gently.

As long as she ntioned that she would be sad because of her suppression, she would definitely stop suppressing her feelings.

Candice understood Elashia too well...

...

Not crying in Candice's arms for too long, Elashia's emotions quickly stabilized.

After all, she knew now wasn't the ti to be downcast.

As long as there was a thread of hope, as long as her life still had aning, she wouldn't give up!

With her emotions finally stabilized, Elashia smiled at Candice who was holding her.

"Aunt, thank you. I'm mostly better now..."

Candice smiled and touched Elashia's pink little head.

It was good that Elashia could release the negative emotions in her heart.

Although Candice's chest was wet at this mont, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

However, Elashia's next words made her uncomfortable.

"Aunt, does Mother know about this?"

Why was Elashia still thinking about that cheap mother of hers at a ti like this?

However, Candice, who like Elashia didn't want to make the other party uncomfortable, imdiately gave an answer:

"I haven't reported this matter to Alexandra yet."

However, after answering Elashia's question, Candice imdiately asked:

"Your Majesty, why are you asking about this?"

Elashia smiled sowhat forcedly and answered:

"Well... there's sothing I want to ask Aunt to help with."

Elashia said with a serious expression:

"Could you not tell Mother about this?"

Candice frowned.

"Your Majesty, please give a reason."

Although Alexandra indeed couldn't help much with this matter, why didn't Elashia want Alexandra to know about it?

Elashia said very seriously:

"Because... I don't want Elasia's affairs to disrupt her plans."

Elashia was very clear about one thing—trapped by the demons' attacks, the Iron Empire couldn't possibly send troops to help Elasia.

Letting Alexandra know about this would only have disadvantages, no advantages.

Elashia didn't want her affairs to affect Mother's battle with the demons.

After all, in the plot, Elasia wasn't that important.

Humanity's final stronghold was still in the Iron Empire.

After hearing Elashia's words, Candice could only reluctantly answer:

"Alright... Your Majesty, I promise you I won't tell Alexandra about this..."

Elashia smiled and nodded.

Good, this way she didn't need to worry about affecting the big picture.

However, Elashia had an even more important matter.

She knew that telling Candice about this would definitely make her unhappy.

But Elashia still wanted to say it.

Because the situation had changed now.

After making up her mind, Elashia lowered her head and continued to Candice:

"Actually... I want to do one more thing... please don't get angry when I tell you..."

Seeing Elashia looking sowhat afraid of her, Candice sighed.

Elashia must have thought of sothing that would make her angry.

But since Elashia knew it would make her angry yet still wanted to say it, it must be sothing very important.

Sighing, Candice said:

"Sigh... Your Majesty, please speak."

Elashia gathered her courage and said:

"I... I want... I want to provide the Iron Empire with twenty more Magic Crossbows..."

Candice didn't get angry, because Elashia's words had long been within her expectations.

Although she hadn't anticipated that Elashia would give Elasia's national treasure to Alexandra in large quantities again, she had anticipated that Elashia planned to do such dangerous things.

"Your Majesty, Magic Crossbows are among the few weapons we can use against magical beasts. I don't oppose you doing this, but please give your reasons."

Elashia nodded and began thinking of ways to convince Candice.

Actually, in the ga, if "Elashia" wanted to take the human route but encountered an early [Beast Tide] event, there was a rather opportunistic but extrely ruthless thod.

Before the war began, transfer all of Elasia's valuable things and armies to the Iron Empire, abandoning all of Elasia's people and everything.

This way, the most resources could be preserved to prepare for humanity's future battles.

Although Elashia didn't plan to do this now, after all, if ten percent of Elasia's people died, she would have to die too.

So, she had this idea for several other reasons...
