After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"We still can't underestimate the descendants of the Clotia family, but it's alright..."

The man looked up at the sky, a deep purple that remained unchanged day after day, a sign that the world was nearing its end.

"Now that the inheritor of the Mingjin Kingdom has fallen, let Candel cause a ruckus! Hahaha!!!"

……

……

---------------------------

……

Cecilia was seriously injured.

To be precise, her internal organs were completely destroyed... If it weren't for the timely treatment, she would already be dead.

Even so, she remains in the intensive care unit and is still in danger of dying.

……

"How could this be...?"

Naronat knelt in the corridor, her eyes filled with regret and shock.

The blonde little girl seemed unable to believe that the princess, who had been all smiles just moments before, could turn into this state in such a short time.

"Naronate, please accept my condolences. This is not your fault."

Yi Cheng stepped forward and patted Naronate on the shoulder: "You probably haven't met Caster... He's a terrifying demon who can always launch the most deadly attack when you least expect it."

"But, but..."

"Don't worry, Dean Cui Biya is the most learned dean in our Clear Academy. She has seen all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases, and she will definitely be able to help Princess Cecilu recover smoothly."

……

……

-----------------

……

This sudden event left Lonnie feeling empty inside.

She was prepared for battle and anticipated that this journey to the Temple of Bright Ashes would not be as simple as she had imagined... But she never expected that Princess Cecilu would almost die right at the beginning.

"Elusia..."

Lonnies looked up at her dark-haired partner.

Fortunately, Elusia is alright for now. If this cunning girl were also seriously injured, I really wouldn't know what to do.

However, Elusia now wore a very solemn expression, her crimson eyes seemingly contemplating something of paramount importance:

"This teleportation array must have borrowed Ming Jin's power... but why did something go wrong?"

"Could it be that the power of the Mingjin Temple has been distorted...? No, it shouldn't be that fast. Logically speaking, Ruohui Palace should be on guard."

"Wait a minute, is that guy planning to take advantage of this..."

……

And so, Elusia murmured to herself, and after a moment, as if she had finally understood, she let out a long sigh:

"So cunning, so incredibly cunning. Are these scheming devils of the Demon Lord really that insane?"

"Elusia..."

"Hey, Lonnies, don't worry, I roughly know what they're planning. But... I still can't figure out their scheme."

"what……?"

Although she didn't understand, Lonnie wagged her tail and said, "I don't quite understand what's going on, but what should I do to help Elusia?"

"Well, we don't need to take care of the princess's affairs. Yicheng and the Dean will take care of them. Now, let's go find General Guyanis."

“Guyanis…”

"I bet she's swamped with work right now, isn't she?"

Chapter 35 Starting Today, I'll Be a Princess

Elusia's prediction was correct; General Guines is indeed extremely busy right now.

Since King Ruohui Palace is not currently within the territory of the Mingjin Kingdom, all matters concerning the kingdom are being handled by Princess Cecilu.

In reality... while Princess Cecilu still holds the title of princess, her authority is equivalent to that of a queen. She manages all the armies of the Kingdom of Mingjin, and also regularly patrols, gives speeches, and appears before the people and soldiers to boost morale.

Therefore, the existence of this princess played a significant role in the stalemate between the Mingjin Kingdom and the Demon Clan.

But nowadays...

Princess Cecilia is critically ill.

Even if such terrifying news can be suppressed for a while, it will definitely be discovered by people after a few days.

When turmoil erupts in the Mingjin Kingdom, the people's lack of confidence will be secondary...

Most importantly, the demons might take action because of this news.

If Princess Cecilu falls seriously ill, the newly signed truce will be voided in an instant, and the demon army will once again flood into the human border, filling the blue sky with the smoke of war.

and so……

General Guyanis truly didn't know what to do.

"Does this mean we should launch a surprise attack on the demons before the news leaks out? But if the enemy is prepared, the raiding force will be sent to their deaths, and their morale will be even lower."

As she worked out the tactical sand table, Gu Yanis's worries deepened, and just then, there was a knock at the door.

"General Guyanis, our distinguished guests Elusia and Loneis request an audience."

"Elusia and Lonnies..."

Upon hearing the news of a visitor, Guyanis rubbed her forehead again.

In fact, if Princess Ruohui hadn't specifically told Elusia and Lonnies that they were on her side, she would have suspected that the teleportation array was caused by the other side.

After all, these things happened too suddenly, and Princess Cecilu wouldn't have been in trouble if they hadn't wanted to go to the Temple of Bright Ashes.

However, Guyanis still said:

"Please invite them in."

"receive."

Lonnies and Elusia sat on the sofa in the command room.

Various maps hung on the walls of the room, and Elusia, with clear eyes, spoke politely to the purple-haired general opposite her:

"General Guyanis, I am very sorry about Princess Cecilu. I think Naronat has already told you what happened, hasn't she?"

"Well... Princess Cecilu was injured by the power of the Otherworld because the teleportation was forcibly interrupted. So these things are not your responsibility. You guests can still stay in the palace, but we are temporarily unable to send you to the Temple of Bright Ashes."

Gu Yannis sighed, her exhaustion evident in her eyes.

But Elusia shook her head and said, "We didn't come to you to go to the Temple of Bright Ashes. In fact, we came to you to help the Kingdom of Bright Ashes."

"help……"

"Yes, once the news of Princess Cecilu's critical illness spreads, the entire kingdom will be thrown into chaos, right? But I can help you."

"W-How can we help? Can we heal the princess? But with injuries like this..."

"No, let me lead this country."

……

……

After Elusia finished speaking, not only was Guyanis stunned, but even Lonnies gaped in astonishment.

The silver-haired girl never expected that Elusia would plan to help in this way... but upon closer reflection, Lonnies felt relieved.

Because Elusia was originally a princess!

This cunning young woman was probably capable of managing a country, so becoming a king might not be a difficult task for her.

……

However, Guyanis looked at her as if she were a fool and asked:

"Guest, are you joking?"

"Oh?"

"Although I respect your status, this is not something to joke about. We are loyal to the royal family, and even if you were a guest, it would be impossible for us to do so."

Guyanis shook her head, not taking the matter seriously.

But this disdain made Elusia feel slighted. She frowned slightly and became serious: "General Guyanis, I am not joking. Bring me the genealogy of the Corlotia family."

"Genealogy..."

"Yes, my name is on it. Even the King of Ruohui Palace has to call me 'Great-Grandma' or something like that!!!"

Guyanis was stunned when she saw Elusia point her finger at the family tree.

This family tree does indeed exist; she is a descendant of a princess who married into the Snow Realm Kingdom a hundred years ago… Gu Yanis gasped, as if realizing something: “The Snow Realm Kingdom, the Flame Abyss lineage… could it be…”

"Hmph, so you're saying that as one of the ancestors of the Kingdom of Corlottia, even though I'm from a collateral branch, I'm not qualified to lead this country?"

"Yes, indeed, you are qualified..."

A person who should have died hundreds of years ago appears in front of you, still looking like a beautiful young girl... There's probably nothing more shocking than this.

But Guyanis still shook her head and said:

“Princess Lo... Princess Elusia, I acknowledge your status and honor. But even so, your status is not enough for the common people to accept; they simply don't know what happened so long ago…”
