How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 354 : Star Rhythm Festival Morning

Under Northern Fire's new policies, the Holy Capital in February finally showed vitality different from the past.

And on this morning of the Star Rhythm Festival, the Holy Capital almost returned to how it looked ten years ago.

Whether it was parks, comrcial streets, or churches, everywhere was packed with people. That extraordinarily lively scene made every governnt official of Northern Fire smile.

To ensure that citizens could feel the sa sensation as ten years ago during this festival, the Holy Capital security departnt worked together with the Military Managent Committee to deploy a full five thousand security personnel patrolling every place in the Holy Capital to ensure no accidents would occur.

Walking on the streets of the Holy Capital, many people almost thought they had traveled back to the Holy Capital of ten years ago, as if nothing had happened...

...

"Shia, hold my hand tight."

Ileina tightly held Elashia's small hand as they walked on the crowded street.

The two walked toward the nearest newsstand while observing the pedestrians on the street.

"The next year is coming soon!"

"So many things happened this year..."

"Finally held out until Northern Fire entered the city..."

"It shouldn't be long before the entire Holy Kingdom is liberated..."

Although the pedestrians on the street were all hurrying along, their faces almost all carried the joy of the festival and longing for the future, and that noisy human voices added a thick atmosphere to this important festival... as if the ten years of turmoil and disaster didn't exist at all...

Looking at such a scene, Ileina's eyes couldn't help but take on so confusion...

As if she actually hadn't been forced to go far to Elasia because of the war, and now her mother was also taking her to stroll through the Holy Capital like ordinary people of the Holy Kingdom...

Holding Elashia's tender little hand, Ileina suddenly murmured to her:

"Mother..."

?

Elashia, who was pulling Ileina toward the newsstand, looked at Ileina strangely.

From the mont they left the house, she had noticed—why did the Holy Kingdom people on the street all seem to look sowhat strange?

Although she could clearly see the joy and longing that should co with celebrating a festival on almost everyone on the street, it seed like everyone... looked strange in so way...

That feeling... Elashia didn't know how to describe it...

That feeling... seed like confusion?

When Elashia first left the house, she thought it was all her imagination, but from Ileina suddenly calling her "mother," she could see—this definitely wasn't an illusion.

"Lena? What's wrong?"

"Ah! I..."

After realizing she had said sothing strange to her close friend, Ileina quickly waved her hands with a red face.

"Ah... I... I didn't an to..."

"I know."

Elashia rolled her eyes at Ileina sowhat helplessly.

If it was intentional, that would really be sothing!

"From when we left the house, I could feel it... your Holy Kingdom people all seem sowhat strange..."

"That kind of strangeness... doesn't seem like being controlled by spells... but I don't know exactly what's going on either."

Looking at the serious Elashia, Ileina's expression also beca serious.

She had been able to clearly feel that sensation Elashia ntioned from the mont they left the house...

But unlike the puzzled Elashia, Ileina could clearly recognize what this confusion that appeared on herself and the people of the Holy Kingdom really was...

"Little Shia... how should I put it..."

Looking at the curious Elashia and that street almost identical to ten years ago, Ileina thought for a mont and seriously explained to Elashia:

"Little Shia, you're from Elasia, so you probably really can't feel what we Holy Kingdom people feel when we see today's Holy Capital scene..."

"Actually, since the great catastrophe, we Holy Kingdom people have hardly had a proper festival..."

"Including the Star Rhythm Festival, the most important festival of the Holy Kingdom, almost all our festivals are tied to Goddess Religion..."

"After the Holy Court modified Goddess Religion's doctrine and forcibly transplanted a large amount of Blood God Religion content into the Holy Kingdom, they no longer allowed us to celebrate these festivals from our past..."

"Combined with the wars and the Holy Court's excessive taxation and levies over these years, we Holy Kingdom people have long lost the strength to celebrate festivals..."

"So... actually, we Holy Kingdom people could only see such scenes ten years ago..."

"This scene of all the city's people celebrating a festival together... probably only the current Holy Capital could be seen in these ten years..."

"The scenes from ten years ago reappearing before our eyes now... who wouldn't feel confused..."

"I see..."

Hearing Ileina explain to this point, Elashia finally completely understood everything...

After experiencing such painful and anxious days for the past ten years, seeing such a scene of citywide celebration again after liberation, who wouldn't feel confused and emotional...

"Alright! Don't think about those things!"

Seeing that Elashia was about to fall into the sa emotions as the Holy Kingdom citizens, Ileina smiled and gently patted her back.

"Let's go! Didn't you say the newspaper has all the festival projects planned by the Festival Planning Committee! Let's first buy a newspaper and see what Adeline and the others have arranged for us!"

"Mm."

Elashia nodded.

After all, she wasn't from the Holy Kingdom, so she wouldn't really get stuck in those emotions for a long ti.

Walking to the newspaper stand, looking at the scene of people crowding to grab today's "Spark News," Elashia walked to the newspaper stand herself and called out sweetly to the boss:

"Boss, two copies of Northern Fire's 'Spark News'!"

"Coming! Just take them yourself! One copper coin!"

The boss, who was already busy as can be, felt relieved after seeing that the person calling to him was two girls who clearly weren't short of money, and went to busy himself with his own affairs.

He didn't believe these two girls who clearly had money would steal his worthless newspapers.

"Thank you!"

After putting down two copper coins, Elashia and Ileina each took a newspaper and walked out of the newsstand to read.

"Mm... these activities are designed quite well..."

Looking at the interactive content in the newspaper, Ileina nodded.

"The budget control is indeed very good... and the effects should also be good..."

"Shia, is there anywhere you want to go play?"

Looking at the projects in the newspaper in her hand, Ileina looked at Elashia expectantly.

"Mm... let's go to the city center first."

Looking at the newspaper in her hand, Elashia smiled gently at Ileina:

"As for ... I don't really have anything special I want to play, since I've been living quite leisurely from Elasia to here, so I've basically played most things I could play..."

Unlike Elashia who had always been slacking off, Ileina, who had been buried in fighting since coming to the Holy Kingdom, was the one who most needed to relax properly during this festival in Elashia's eyes...
