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

……

As Elusia recounted her story, Lonnies fell silent.

Although I didn't actually experience that battle, I can't understand the tense atmosphere at that time.

But I understand Elcia; I know how Elcia felt back then, so…

Lonnies took the black-haired girl's hand and said carefully:

"Elcia, I don't think you did anything wrong."

"Hmm, maybe..."

"No, I'm serious!"

"Lonnies?"

“A person truly dies when everyone forgets her. When no one knows her past, her existence truly dies from history… But whether it’s Elusia or me, we still remember those figures who once fought in the Snow Kingdom, and we still remember those people who once had such kind smiles.”

"..."

"It is their companionship in my dreams that inspires me and gives me the ability to inspire the warriors of today as a princess to resist the invasion of the demons."

Lonnies spoke very seriously, but Elusia suddenly shook her head and laughed:

"Hmph, you really are an idiot."

"what?"

"Alright, let's leave the recounting of the past here. Now, we'll get to the real work."

"Ah, ah..."

"Heh heh, you'd better be serious when you meet the injured later. If I see you slacking off, you'll be locked in a box again tonight."

……

……

Elusia's mood finally returned to normal.

Seeing her wife return to normal, Lonnie seemed to be encouraged and full of energy!

Although it was a little embarrassing to pretend to be a princess to comfort the wounded, as long as I was bold enough, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Let's put all our effort into comforting everyone!

……

"Princess Serhiru, you...you actually came to see us."

"Yes, thank you for your contributions, soldiers. I'm here not only to visit you, but also to distribute gifts."

"!"

"These are cookies that my maids and I made ourselves. Everyone is recovering, so please remember to eat regularly."

……

"Princess Cecilu, we are so sorry for failing to fulfill your trust! We are utterly useless; not only were we defeated, but we also..."

"Yes, everyone should focus on healing their injuries now. Don't worry about the war. The demon invasion is only temporary. As long as we can hold out for these seven days, it will be our turn to counterattack!"

……

"Princess Serhiru, we..."

"Well, I'm sorry, we've run out of cookies. But please don't worry... I'll try to help you recover quickly by singing."

"Ah, ah..."

"Two tigers, two tigers, running fast, running fast~~ They have no tails, they have no ears, how strange~~ how strange~~"

Chapter 65 Surrender

after an hour

"What an idiot! What kind of princess would sing children's songs during a performance to comfort the people?"

"Waaah, we suddenly ran out of cookies, so this is all we can do... Besides, everyone's feedback seems pretty good, is there a problem?"

"Hum~"

Elusia smiled noncommittally; in fact, Lonnies's visit was indeed very successful.

Perhaps it was because Lonnie was once a hero herself? So this time, her words of comfort were devoid of any haughty distance, but rather as if she knew what everyone was thinking, showing great tolerance and consideration.

The morale of the wounded was greatly boosted, and the atmosphere in the hospital, which had been somewhat tense, became more orderly.

Seeing all this, Lonnie felt incredibly gratified.

However, she was still concerned about something else:

"Elusia, are you alright?"

"Ah, what's up?"

"I think Elusia would rather play the princess and offer her condolences to these soldiers than I would like to?"

"Hmph, I'm not that naive. Besides, I'm more like a demon than a human right now."

"what?"

"In short, as long as the injured in the hospital can cheer up, that's all that matters. What I'm concerned about are other issues."

Elusia's gaze drifted to the side. Although her tone remained calm, Lonnie could still sense that she was somewhat guilty.

However, Lonnie did not pursue the matter further:

"Miss Elusia, what should we do next?"

"Hmph, intelligence... Although the demons are so crazy, they will definitely suffer a backlash."

"Uh……?"

"Just wait, it'll probably be here soon."

……

Just as Lorne hesitated...

Suddenly, a blonde little girl came running from afar.

The visitor was Naronate. Although she was young, she was exceptionally efficient. In the next few days, she would also send information to Elusia, who was in seclusion for training.

"Princess Cecilu, I apologize for interrupting your inspection. I have something important to report."

"Well, it's alright, we're already preparing to go back. What's the matter?"

"It's not convenient to talk here, actually it's because..."

……

……

Lornish never expected that, just when the demons were launching a fierce attack, a demon would actually come to surrender!

After all, the demons had been advancing rapidly these past few days, reaching all the way to the capital. And those who came to surrender were no small fry.

She was actually...

Shiman, an elite agent of the vampire clan.

……

This girl named Shiman, Lonnie had seen before... It was she who infiltrated the kingdom of Insolonia, disguised herself as a maid, and captured Lonnie.

Her identity is essentially that of the head of the demon race's secret service.

According to the information Elusia gathered, Shiman and many other vampires will likely submit to the current demon leader, an older vampire named Mivira.

But now, Shiman has surrendered. This raises suspicions of a trap, and therefore requires careful consideration.

……

……

In the conference room, the two met Shiman.

However, this vampire girl's condition was far from "normal." A section of her arm was severed, and on her exposed skin, Lonnies saw...

"This is...black scale disease?"

"That's right, it's black scale disease."

Facing the two people, Shiman made no attempt to hide anything and simply said, "I've come to tell you that the Demon Clan leader, Chief Mivira, has gone mad."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Because the demons' granaries were recently attacked, food shortages have occurred in various places. Therefore, Chief Mivila threw chunks of meat mixed with fragments of alien decay into the military rations."

"what?"

"This has led to many demons becoming deeply entangled in it and unable to extricate themselves. They have gradually lost their minds and become violent and dangerous beings."

……

……

No wonder the demons' offensive was so fierce, sweeping across the entire Mingjin Kingdom in almost three days.

So, there was such an important element involved... Back in the underground shopping district, the Ramlin gang was poisoned by the fragments of the alien mortal, turning into a half-human, half-ghost monster. Their leader, due to excessive mutation, suffered a complete genetic collapse and died in the basement.

But what about the demons?

There are similar effects.

After consuming the fragments of the Otherworldly Demise, the demons become exceptionally powerful and bloodthirsty, almost ignoring pain, turning into machines that only know how to kill.

However, the side effects are...

A strong withdrawal reaction, and a feeling of muscle weakness afterward.

Simply put, the fragments of the Demon Race's Demise are like drugs... they're not fatal, but they're expensive and harmful to the body.
