How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 206 : What's Truly Precious Is Never the Knight's Co

Cecilia's question made Elashia show a serious expression.

What exactly Cecilia protected, she who was familiar with the ga's plot naturally knew.

But she couldn't just tell Cecilia directly.

What a Guardian Knight protects needs to be found and understood by herself.

If soone else told her, it would only increase her confusion.

At most, Elashia could give her so hints.

Thinking this, Elashia looked seriously at Cecilia.

"Knight Cecilia, I know what you protect, but I can't tell you directly. I think you understand the reason for this."

Cecilia nodded sowhat painfully.

She naturally understood.

"But... if I still can't find what I protect... then everything I cherish... Your Majesty, my sister, the knights and soldiers under my command..."

Elashia looked firmly at Cecilia again, interrupting her:

"Knight Cecilia, what you protect is what you love."

Cecilia was sowhat confused.

"What I 'love'?"

Wasn't that very clear?

She loved the lovely girl before her who had reunited their sisters, and she also loved her sister Sophia...

This shouldn't be in doubt...

Cecilia didn't doubt her feelings for Elashia and Sophia in her heart at all.

But... the power of the [Guardian Knight] hadn't been awakened.

Thinking of this, the confusion in Cecilia's heart expanded further.

Could it be that her feelings for Her Majesty Elashia and her sister were all fake?

She looked at Elashia with those azure blue eyes.

The depths of this powerful knight's eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness.

"Could it be... that I... don't love Sophia and you..."

Seeing that her words had made Cecilia so confused, Elashia shook her head.

Whether Cecilia's feelings for her were real or not, she couldn't make a conclusion, but through her understanding of Cecilia in the ga, Elashia could clearly know—her feelings for Sophia were absolutely real.

But "Elashia" and "Sophia" themselves weren't what Cecilia wanted to protect in her heart.

So Elashia affird to Cecilia:

"No, I'm certain your feelings for us are real."

However, Elashia's tone changed as she asked Cecilia in return:

"But... taking as an example, why do you 'love' ?"

Saying this, Elashia's own small face was tinged with a few shades of red.

She had originally wanted to use Little Sophia as an example, but she felt it might not be appropriate to ask a sister why she loved her own sister.

So she had to shafully use herself as an example.

But her eyes were still filled with seriousness.

"My feelings for you..."

Cecilia fell silent for a mont.

She had wanted to answer—"As a knight, one should naturally dedicate everything to their Lord."

But thinking of the old Elasia Emperor who had died less than a year ago, she swallowed those words.

If she really only loved Her Majesty Elashia because Elashia was the Empress...

Then she should have... directly killed Her Majesty Elashia the first ti she t her?

After all, Her Majesty Elashia should strictly speaking be considered a "usurper."

But... her feelings for Her Majesty Elashia couldn't possibly be fake...

She understood very clearly—every ti she saw this pink-haired girl who always smiled at her with maternal gentleness, she felt her heart beating rapidly...

Seeing Cecilia enter a state of doubt, Elashia continued:

"Then... let ask you another question."

Elashia gazed into Cecilia's eyes:

"If I weren't an Empress, or even if my coup had ultimately failed and I had beco a prisoner under the old emperor, would you still 'love' ?"

This question struck right at Cecilia's heart.

It seed... she had always been using the "knight's code" to disguise her feelings for Her Majesty Elashia?

If Elashia were just Elashia, and not "Her Majesty Elashia," would she still love this gentle yet resolute pink-haired girl...

Cecilia didn't even need to think—her heart imdiately gave the answer.

Of course she would!

The reason she loved Her Majesty Elashia was definitely not rely because Elashia was the empress.

Even if Elashia were just an ordinary commoner girl, she couldn't possibly not love such a girl who was gentle like a mother and firm as steel!

Seeing that Cecilia seed to understand sothing, Elashia said to her:

"Cecilia, stop thinking."

"Close your eyes and imagine a scene under my guidance..."

Seeing Elashia so serious, knowing she wasn't joking, Cecilia imdiately stopped her thoughts and slowly closed her eyes.

Seeing that Cecilia had entered the state she wanted her in, Elashia began constructing the scene she wanted Cecilia to imagine...

"Imagine..."

"You've traveled back to the day before my coup..."

"You know—as long as you stop the mission now and return to the imperial capital, you can prevent that regicidal tragedy from happening..."

"Would you pretend not to see it and let this coup happen, or would you choose to follow your so-called 'way of the knight' and lead troops back to the imperial capital to stop my 'conspiracy'..."

Hearing this, Cecilia imdiately opened her eyes.

She didn't hesitate at all.

"This... I would definitely choose to turn a blind eye!"

Elashia smiled.

"But... didn't you say—for a knight, their Lord is everything to them?"

"Clearly at that ti, the person who was the Elasia Emperor wasn't , but the old Elasia Emperor. So why wouldn't you choose to help your 'Lord' eliminate the threat he faced?"

This question was indeed sowhat cruel for Cecilia.

It could even be said to directly tear away the fig leaf she had always used.

Yes, as a knight, she should absolutely obey her Lord and make the Lord's interests her everything.

But... to help that bastard emperor who treated human life as grass, ignored state affairs, and forcibly separated her and her sister, to fight against Her Majesty Elashia who cared for the people and was gentle and kind...

How could such a thing be possible?

But... if this had really happened, and she had turned a blind eye to Her Majesty Elashia's coup...

Wouldn't that violate the [Knight's Code] she had always regarded as the principle for all her actions?

Moreover, loyalty to one's Lord was the most important part of the knight's code!

This...

She had always used the reason "knights must be absolutely loyal to their Lord" to explain her feelings for Her Majesty Elashia...

But... when the knight's code truly conflicted with Her Majesty Elashia...

The knight's code... seed to beco sothing dispensable?
