How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 271 : The Reversed Choice

"Lena... you truly... haven't disappointed at all..."

Elashia, who had climbed the high tower with Ileina, observed the current state of the Holy Capital from above and let out a heartfelt sigh.

Except for the small part of the Holy Court where intense fighting had occurred, the entire Holy Capital looked almost completely intact.

Even a considerable number of citizens had co out of their hos, loudly celebrating Northern Fire's victory.

"Shia..."

Looking at Elashia who was gazing toward the surroundings of the Holy Capital, Ileina murmured...

Why didn't Elashia, who had been abandoned by her five years ago, seem to show even the slightest bit of resentnt toward her...

Clearly when she had first proposed separation, Elashia's reaction had been so intense...

Noticing that Ileina seed to want to say sothing, just as Elashia was about to turn her head toward Ileina, the system's voice rang out again.

[System Task Issued]

[Task One: Don't mind these things for now, start discussing matters about the Holy Kingdom's future with Ileina—"As representatives of Elashia and the Holy Kingdom, let's first properly discuss humanity's future developnt path."]

[Task Reward: Undead Killer (Spell)]

[Task Two: Have a good discussion with Ileina about your thoughts on her originally abandoning you to run to the Holy Kingdom to fight—"Lena, I know what you're thinking."]

[Task Reward: Mage level increased by three]

[Task Three: Say nothing more, take advantage of being alone with her on the high tower to directly push Ileina down!—"I know what you want to say. Since you feel indebted to , then use your body to repay the debt!"]

[Task Reward: Warrior level increased by one]

Did this even need asking?

Before Elashia had even looked at these three tasks, she had made her decision.

Having just t Ileina for the first ti, for safety's sake, she definitely had to choose the task with low difficulty and rewards!

"System, I choose Task Three... no wait!"

In the instant before finishing her ntal statent, an inadvertent glance at the options before her saved Elashia's life!

This Task Three... had problems!

My god...

Forcing herself to calm down, Elashia carefully reread the options before her that were completely different from usual.

These three tasks... weren't they really mislabeled...

Clearly Task Three had always been the safest option before!

Looking at this ridiculously overpowered "safe option" before her, Elashia fell into thought...

What was this situation?

Could this be the system trying to trap her?

Wait... no...

Elashia reread the options before her...

She finally discovered what was wrong.

Although Task One looked very safe, as the most important existence in Ileina's heart, was it really good for Elashia to say these things when they were reuniting...

Elashia was very clear—the current Ileina's heart was filled with various complex emotions toward her whom she had finally reunited with.

Especially guilt... having abandoned her close friend to co to the Holy Kingdom, how could her heart be focused on matters of cooperation between Elashia and the Holy Kingdom when she saw her again?

If she ignored these things... then Ileina might very likely misunderstand her...

Did Elashia not care about anymore because of what happened before?

Was Elashia only willing to talk to her to help liberate the Holy Kingdom, but actually didn't want to say even a single word to her?

Thinking this way, Elashia's heart instantly went cold!

"Elashia" was the most important existence in Ileina's heart!

If she started talking about state affairs upon eting, it would be over!

But...

After excluding Task One, Tasks Two and Three made Elashia fall into silence again.

Why did such an outrageous option have such a small reward...

Conversely, why did Task Two, which at least looked relatively normal, have such a good reward...

Mage level increased by three... this wasn't a small improvent...

She was already at level eleven now, and if she gained three more levels on this foundation... her magical abilities would definitely undergo a qualitative change...

Elashia was very clear—behind task rewards lay the risks of actions.

The better the task reward, the greater the risk.

That is to say—this outrageous Task Three was actually the safest option?

???

Sowhat incredulously, Elashia used [Appraisal] to scan Ileina who was preparing to say sothing to her.

Ileina's warrior level... was a full thirty levels?

This level wasn't much compared to strongest Elasians like Dorothy and Cecilia, but compared to herself it was more than a little stronger!

Her current warrior level was only seventeen! She could be killed instantly with one sword strike!

Clearly her combat power was so much weaker than Ileina's, so why would directly pushing down Ileina be so safe...

Elashia fell into thought...

Looking at Ileina in the ti-frozen scene who was looking at her with complex eyes, Elashia felt like she understood sothing...

After all, Ileina wasn't just anyone...

Ileina was different from Cecilia and Candice who had never t her before—she already had extrely deep feelings for her before eting...

Moreover, "guilt" occupied quite a large portion of these feelings.

If Elashia acted toward her like in Task Three, it might reduce Ileina's guilt toward her sowhat, and also let Ileina realize—Elashia valued her greatly.

Elashia would be sad and angry because of her abandonnt, which was why she would do such things to her...

So... which option should she choose...

Elashia looked at the last option she hadn't analyzed properly.

Have a good chat with Ileina about her own thoughts...

Objectively speaking, this choice seed to indeed have considerable danger...

If she couldn't make Ileina know and believe—"Elashia has already forgiven her"—then this matter would ultimately beco Ileina's inner demon...

Which one was better...

"I choose Task Two!"

After thinking it over, Elashia decided to choose Task Two.

No matter what, Elashia couldn't do sothing like Task Three to Ileina at a ti like this!

Even if this choice was the safest, it still wouldn't work!

Although Elashia wasn't a saint, seeing such a resilient and righteous beautiful girl as Ileina, she definitely couldn't remain completely without desire.

But... once this kind of thing began, there would never be any possibility of turning back!

Right now it might be her pushing down Ileina, but afterward it might not be certain...

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

Elashia slowly moved her gaze to Ileina and said in a gentle voice:

"I know... your heart must be full of guilt for abandoning to co fight in the Holy Kingdom..."

"I think you also know that if I said I had no reaction to this matter at all, that would definitely be a lie..."
