How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 279 : The Caught Hand

"Little Shia... I..."

Seeing Elashia desperately trying to hide the tears and sobs, Alexandra felt more regretful than she ever had before.

What was wrong with her?

Why would she make such a childish mistake!

Didn't she know long ago—Elashia didn't like seeing her unhappy!

Wasn't the incident where she and her sister Candice argued in front of Elashia and made her cry enough to prove this point?

Elashia was a very gentle person, and Alexandra was extrely clear about this.

And for the gentle Elashia, other people's feelings affected her emotions more than her own feelings!

For her empathetic and gentle daughter, watching others suffer was even more painful than bearing that suffering herself!

Moreover... she was also very clear—she definitely held a very important place in Elashia's heart...

Elashia already had strong empathy, and she was so important in Elashia's heart...

Having lived for over two hundred years and seen countless different types of people, Alexandra finally understood!

The guilt she had shown before must have caused unimaginable trendous pain to Elashia's heart!

Realizing this, Alexandra felt imnsely regretful!

How could she be so stupid!

Why did she beco so easily controlled by emotions and lose her ability to analyze calmly whenever it involved her own daughter...

In the past, when she led armies far inferior in numbers and combat power against the demons, she had never lost even a bit of composure...

Blood, battle, intrigue, traps, powerful enemies... she could handle all of these calmly.

But... why had she, who had lived for over two hundred years, beco like this in front of Elashia...

Hearing Elashia's desperately suppressed sobs, Alexandra felt as if her heart was being cut by knives...

So this was what self-bla felt like...

It really was the first ti in her life experiencing this emotion...

After seeing what happened with Lucian and her daughter, she had spoken to Elashia without even properly thinking it through...

Now she finally completely understood why everyone except her would be influenced by their emotions to do those completely irrational things.

But... what should she do to heal the wound in Elashia's heart caused by her and Ileina...

Looking at the crying girl on the screen, Alexandra, who had always been resourceful and imaginative, felt a powerlessness she had never experienced before...

She knew how to change countries, even change the world.

But... she didn't know how to comfort a daughter who was crying because of her mistakes.

anwhile, Elashia, who had already lost emotional control, continued to desperately express her feelings.

She had figured it out.

She couldn't keep up appearances forever pretending she cared deeply about these things, and it was impossible to make Ileina and Alexandra ignore this matter.

So she might as well say what she really thought...

"Mother... Little Lena..."

Elashia desperately wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her small hands.

"Are my matters... really that important..."

"For ... what's more important... is getting along with you the way I hope to..."

"Compared to past events, aren't... the things before us now more worthy of our attention..."

"You know... you clearly know..."

Elashia's words were interrupted by the choking in her throat.

The air atop the tower fell into temporary silence.

In the air, aside from Elashia's sobs, there were no other sounds...

Looking at her daughter crying with her head down, Alexandra looked at Ileina with pleading eyes.

After all, she wasn't here right now—comforting her daughter would have to depend on this blonde girl.

And Ileina, being stared at with such eyes by Alexandra, began to hesitate.

In the past... she seed to have made Elashia cry many tis too...

Elashia was very strong. Facing those bad guards and thugs who bullied her, she had never lowered her head, let alone shed tears.

But... whenever things were related to herself, Elashia's emotions would beco much more fragile.

Whenever she didn't eat properly, whenever she insisted on going out for intense exercise in winter, whenever she stayed up late...

If she kept being stubborn and unwilling to listen to Elashia, sotis Elashia would cry when she got anxious.

And every ti Elashia cried, she knew—she had made a mistake.

However...

In the past when Elashia was made to cry by her, Ileina, knowing she was in the wrong, only had to quickly do as Elashia said, and Elashia would smile through her tears.

But...

What should she do now?

Should she go to Elashia and say—"Alright, I don't care about the harm I caused you in the past"?

Ileina knew—she couldn't say this, much less do it.

This would be lying, and Elashia didn't like her telling even one lie to people she could trust.

Moreover... Elashia would definitely see through such a clumsy lie imdiately.

Then... what should she do...

Alexandra's pleading gaze was reflected in Ileina's eyes, and Elashia's crying continued to echo in her ears...

Ileina knew—she had to act.

No matter what, she couldn't just watch her close friend, whom she had made cry, suffer like this in front of her without doing anything!

Thinking of this, Ileina gritted her teeth.

No matter what, she had to act now!

Although she didn't know what to say to comfort Elashia whom she had made cry, she had to move now!

Being stared at by Alexandra as Elashia's mother, Ileina sohow felt a strong feeling—she had to prove herself in front of Alexandra!

So Ileina moved!

She sowhat hesitantly walked slowly to Elashia's side and raised her hand.

Now... no matter what, she should help Elashia wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes...

Looking at Elashia crying with her head down, Ileina reached her hand toward that small face blurred by tears, which made one feel imnse pity just by looking at it...

But...

Ileina's hand stopped again.

Looking at Elashia's small face, that intense feeling of guilt surged into her heart once more.

Not only had her past immature self made Elashia, who treated her with the tenderness and care of a mother, cry so many tis, but even now upon just eting, she had turned the originally happy Elashia into this state...

Did she still deserve to touch her...

Ileina's hand hung suspended in midair...

"Sigh..."

Seeing the hesitant Ileina, Alexandra let out a long sigh.

It seed unlikely that this Holy Princess, who was clearly just like her past self with her head full of thoughts about the country, would be able to comfort her daughter.

However...

Sothing happened that made Alexandra smile with relief.

Ileina's slender hand, suspended in midair due to hesitation, was grasped by Elashia's small hand...
