How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 318.2 : Changes in the Holy Capital

Elashia's words were absolutely truthful.

Among all her skills, only [Magic Arrow] and [Disguise] could be considered spells that consud energy.

Her other skills should all be classified as combat techniques that consud stamina and [Qi].

"Oh... alright then."

Ileina was just asking casually, after all she didn't expect Elashia, who was responsible for healing in battle, to charge onto the battlefield and fight personally.

After all, you can't expect soone to be both father and mother...

Elashia's words interrupted Ileina's thoughts.

"Alright, disguise is complete, let's go."

...

"Sigh... seeing the Holy Capital's people really tugs at the heartstrings..."

Looking at the pedestrians on the streets who were almost all sallow and emaciated, even skin and bones, Elashia let out a heartfelt sigh.

She hadn't noticed these things when preparing for the Holy Capital's great battle before, but now taking a closer look at these citizens' faces...

It really made one's heart ache just looking at them...

When Elashia had first transmigrated to Elasia, she had never seen such scenes...

"Hard to imagine what kind of lives they lived before..."

"Sigh..."

Looking at those sallow and emaciated citizens on the street, Ileina was equally filled with emotion.

"Actually... when I left the Holy Capital as a child, this place was still quite prosperous..."

"At that ti, the Holy Capital had at least close to two million people..."

"Children could play freely in the Holy Capital's squares, and parents didn't have to worry about their children saying the wrong words and harming the whole family..."

Ileina's small face was filled with nostalgia.

"At that ti, every last day of each week, large numbers of citizens would gather in the Holy Capital's central park to listen to various bands perform... the grand spectacle even required mother to dispatch over a thousand troops to maintain order..."

"I especially loved going there to listen to the people's songs. Once I even snuck over the wall to listen to music without completing the howork my teacher assigned, and got severely beaten by mother..."

"Thinking of the Holy Capital back then, then looking at the Holy Capital now... sigh..."

Ileina sighed repeatedly.

Looking at Ileina whose face was filled with sorrow, Elashia suddenly smiled.

"Ileina, don't imrse yourself in sadness anymore."

"Perhaps... we've overlooked so details."

"Details?"

Ileina looked at Elashia sowhat strangely.

"Yes, details."

Elashia smiled and nodded.

"Perhaps you haven't noticed yourself—although the Holy Capital's citizens are almost all sallow and emaciated, you can observe their spirits carefully..."

"This..."

Looking at those hurried pedestrians on the street, Ileina looked at Elashia sowhat strangely.

"Their spirits... don't look particularly special."

"Exactly."

Elashia smiled and nodded.

"That's right, nothing special."

"Like us, they're bustling about for their livelihoods and tomorrow, and that's enough."

"This alone can show—everything is developing in the direction we want."

"Mm..."

Ileina thought about it and quickly understood what Elashia ant.

It was enough that the citizens could harbor hope while working for their future.

As a warrior who had fought in the Holy Kingdom for many years, Ileina was very clear about what people without hope in their hearts looked like.

That numb gaze... could be recognized with just one look.

No matter how confident citizens were in the new regi, it was impossible to constantly wear hopeful expressions on their faces.

As long as they could break through that numbness in the citizens' hearts... that was already a success for Northern Fire, which had just taken the Holy Capital.

Ileina showed a sunny smile to Elashia, who was looking at her gently.

"Hehe... I got a bit carried away by the scene just now."

Looking at the icy roads, Ileina smiled and asked Elashia:

"Where should we go first?"

"Mm... shouldn't I be asking you that question?"

Elashia looked at Ileina sowhat amusedly.

Wasn't it a bit strange to have her, an Elasian, answer this question?

"Uh..."

"Actually... the Holy Capital has changed quite a bit in these ten years..."

Ileina showed an embarrassed smile.

It had been a full ten years since she left the Holy Capital at age seven...

She had been too young when she left the Holy Kingdom, and had been away from the Holy Capital for too long...

So her understanding of the Holy Capital was actually quite unclear...

"Hm?"

Elashia looked at her sowhat strangely.

The Holy Capital had changed quite a bit over the years?

What did that an?

After thinking for a mont, Elashia understood the aning behind these words.

"You an... you don't understand the Holy Capital well enough either?"

Looking at the speechless Elashia, Ileina laughed awkwardly.

"Ehehe."

Elashia complained speechlessly:

"What's with the 'ehehe'!"

"We should have acted together with Adeline and the others from the start!"

"Hehehe..."

Ileina lowered her head embarrassedly.

Earlier she had thought—anyway, the information they needed would be reported truthfully by Adeline, Caroline, and Northern Fire's investigators after research, so there was no need to observe the Holy Capital together.

Plus she didn't want her alone ti with Elashia to be disturbed, so she had proposed the idea of Adeline and Caroline going together while she and Elashia went together...

However, only now did she realize—she didn't understand the Holy Capital at all, and didn't even know the roads very well...

"Sigh..."

Looking at the awkwardly smiling Ileina, Elashia complained speechlessly:

"You, as Holy Princess... don't even understand the Holy Capital's roads."

However, the problem wasn't actually too serious.

Although Elashia's understanding of the Holy Kingdom wasn't as clear as her understanding of Elasia, her knowledge of the Holy Capital, which served as the main stage for the Holy Kingdom arc, was actually quite extensive.

Although she didn't know where those state-run grain stations established due to her arrival were located, she was still very familiar with the main buildings and roads...

"Sigh... let's ask Adeline and the others about those state-run grain stations..."

Elashia thought for a mont and made up a reason for knowing the Holy Capital's layout to tell Ileina.

"When I was previously planning the action to support your siege, I conducted a certain degree of investigation into the Holy Capital, so I'm roughly familiar with the layout of most buildings and roads in the Holy Capital."

"Where do you want to go? I'll take you there."

"Hehehe..."

Ileina laughed embarrassedly again.

This was definitely one of the most embarrassing things in her life...

As the future monarch of the Holy Kingdom, leader of Northern Fire, the current Holy Princess... she actually needed Elashia, an Elasian, to guide her around the Holy Capital...

Having the Holy Princess need the Elasian Empress to be her guide because she wasn't familiar with the Holy Capital... was really too embarrassing...
