How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 358 : Why Perform Spring Shadow

"I have always believed this—those traitors of the Holy Court are even more detestable than the Blood Clan invaders!"

"Although as Empress Elashia said, many of them were indeed under Evelyn's control, more of them made the choice to betray us while fully conscious..."

...

While Caroline was giving her impassioned speech, Elashia, standing beside Ileina, quietly asked Ileina strangely:

"This... how is this different from what you said before?"

Since entering the city, Northern Fire had been trying to find ways to help so Holy Court officials and officers with lesser cris integrate into the current Holy Kingdom, and had always emphasized in newspapers and official dia that they couldn't treat all forr Holy Court people as enemies of Northern Fire and the Holy Kingdom people...

After all, there were hundreds of thousands of Holy Court mbers in the Holy Kingdom. It definitely wouldn't be appropriate to execute them all or imprison them for long periods.

Northern Fire's handling strategy for forr Holy Court mbers had always been "execute those with blood debts, life imprisonnt for serious cris, temporary collective detention during warti for minor or essentially no cris."

Combined with Elashia's control over almost all Blood Slave Army officers, Northern Fire had managed to balance taking care of public sentint and combining with the Holy Kingdom's actual situation.

But... why would Caroline, who had always been dedicated to eliminating hatred within the Holy Kingdom, suddenly say such things in public...

As if seeing through Elashia's confusion, Ileina smiled aningfully at Elashia:

"Little Shia... as the current rulers of the Holy Kingdom, all of Northern Fire's actions should naturally be based on rational considerations..."

"But, Little Shia, you must know—Northern Fire is Northern Fire, we are us."

Ileina smiled and slowly said to Elashia:

"Could it be... are Empress Elashia and Northern Fire's leadership standing on stage now?"

"Ah?"

Elashia was stunned.

She seed not to understand the aning in Ileina's words.

They... weren't they?

"Hahaha... it seems Little Shia still doesn't understand."

Ileina smiled mysteriously at Elashia:

"Right now there are only four passionate, completely artless ordinary Holy Capital citizens, isn't that right?"

...

"So, please listen, everyone, to our next song—'What Thing'!"

As Caroline's final words fell, the audience who had completely entered the atmosphere once again burst into overwhelming cheers.

"Boom! Boom boom! Boom boom boom boom!"

The cheering had barely stopped when Adeline's drumbeat started first.

The crowd was like a boiling ocean, rising and falling with the rhythm of the music, sotis calm, sotis turbulent...

"Ha..."

Elashia, who still didn't understand the aning in Ileina's earlier words, quickly cut off her thoughts and took a deep breath...

"Fate exiled , so what?"

"No sha, no regret"

"Why unworthy? Why kneel?"

"The prisoner laughs asking the puppet, who is more absurd?"

"Though I'm covered in mud, so what?"

"No guilt, no fear..."

This song was actually background music from a ga Elashia used to play.

But thinking of the Holy Court, Elashia inexplicably felt this song was very suitable for them now.

Especially those few interrogative lines—"Why unworthy? Why kneel?" really matched the Holy Court's traitorous behavior too well...

...

When the song ended, before the audience had been quiet for long, they began shouting loudly and fervently under the leadership of unknown people.

"Though I'm covered in mud, so what!"

"Though I'm covered in mud, so what!"

"..."

"Oh my... I have to say, team mber 'Shia's' literary level is indeed much stronger than us guys whose minds are full of battle and governnt affairs."

Listening to the voices echoing around her, Caroline's smile beca even more brilliant...

She really didn't know how Empress Elashia wrote such impactful lyrics...

...

This highly expressive concert continued from 8 PM to 11 PM.

Although three full hours had passed, and the audience standing crowded below didn't even have a place to sit, the passionate and expressive music from the four on stage ant that almost no trace of fatigue could be seen on anyone's faces.

The open space in front of the stage was already packed tight, with dark masses of heads like a surging ocean extending to the distance.

People in the front rows were squeezed almost against the barriers, while those in back rows had to stand on tiptoes and crane their necks in this sea of people, trying to glimpse a corner of the stage through the gaps.

The four on stage also appeared quite excited, even Adeline, who was used to going to bed and waking up early, showed no signs of fatigue.

Caroline, who had dread since childhood of one day being able to sing in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators in the Holy Capital forest, looked like she had taken stimulants, even more energetic than in the morning.

However, she also knew—it was about ti to end.

It was getting a bit late now... after today's Star Rhythm Festival celebration ended, the army would have to break camp and attack tomorrow.

It was fine for them to stay up late, and fine for the citizens to stay up late, but dragging soldiers who had to attack tomorrow into staying up late wouldn't be quite appropriate...

Caroline made final eye contact with her companions beside her, then shouted loudly to the audience below:

"Everyone! It's getting late!"

"There's no banquet that doesn't end. Perhaps we'll never be able to et again after this, so please treasure every mont we can be together!"

"Finally! Unlike the previous songs with passion as their the, at the end of this concert, please let us end this concert with a quiet piece of music."

"And finally, let us pray for the coming spring... for this spring that is both strange and familiar to us!"

"Please enjoy! Our final farewell song—'Spring Shadow'!"

Accompanied by gentle piano sounds, that soul-soothing girl's voice appeared in the ears of every Holy Kingdom citizen.

"In the constantly withering spring season, every year I only feel coldness."

"In complete darkness, walking forward alone..."

"Knowing that expectations are also empty, yet still constantly seeking salvation..."

Elashia's singing voice gradually beca gentler and warr along with the content of the lyrics...

"And now standing before spring, I seem to already understand..."

"Happiness yet makes the heart confused and entranced, illuminating who no longer cries."

"Light gently carries along, passing through layers of clouds and becoming sparkling..."

"In this sunlit world, the important person blooming proudly, knowing what warm spring ans."

"The tears shed because of you and ..."

"Ah ah, how dazzling..."

"Ah ah, how beautiful..."
