The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Chapter 250 The Kidnapped Princess

"your Highness?"

Emerald first feigned surprise, then, as if just remembering something, took out a small round fan and gently covered her mouth, her smile somewhat ambiguous:

"Is that my lovely cousin Rin-chan? I've heard Uncle mention her so many times, and I've been really looking forward to meeting her... What happened to her? Could she have gone off to play somewhere?"

"This...it shouldn't be, right?"

One of the maids hesitated for a moment:

"It is a given that you and His Highness the Prince will arrive around noon today. Her Majesty the Queen has already told the Princess that a banquet will be held at the palace tonight to welcome you both, and that the Princess should come home early after school and not wander off."

"Oh? Rin-chan is a princess, so why does she have to go to school?"

Emery was somewhat surprised at first, then asked:

"So what did the school say? Did Rin leave school early?"

"Ah."

The maid nodded:

"The school said that Her Highness left the school a period early to prepare for tonight's banquet."

"Hmm...that's a very reasonable reason, and the school probably didn't care."

Emery pondered for a moment, then gently fanned herself twice with her small round fan:

"Is there anyone else with Rin? Surely she has at least one close friend at school?"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness also has very good friends."

The maidservant quickly said:

“Hoshino Ayahime from the Hoshino family is in the same class as the princess and is also a very good friend of the princess. She also left school early with the princess.”

“Hoshino Ayahime… Ah, it really is her.”

A smile appeared in Amelie's eyes.

After dealing with the lurking foes of the conservative faction of the three starter families, Emerald learned from her new undead warrior, Hoshino Miki, that the conservative faction of the three starter families had a backup plan, which was to kidnap Amamiya Rin through Hoshino Ayahime's relationship.

It now appears that the backup plan was still activated by the conservative faction of the three main families, and the fact that it was chosen on the very day that Emeryte and Milain arrived in Shangying Kingdom was clearly aimed at them.

"Let's go, take me to see my uncle and Her Majesty the Queen first."

After a moment's thought, Amelie gave the two palace maids the order.

Since the kidnapping and negotiation were to take place, there was no need to worry about Rin's safety for the time being. Moreover, with the undead Hoshino Miki as their trump card, Emery was very confident that she could easily rescue her cousin. She appeared very calm and not in a hurry at all.

But Milion was clearly out of sorts. He probably already knew about his daughter's kidnapping, and when Amelie saw him, he was pacing back and forth like an enraged wolf.

"What's wrong, Uncle? Did my lovely cousin run off with that blond-haired guy?"

Instead of offering comfort, Amelie pretended not to know the truth and added fuel to the fire with a mocking tone.

Milaine clenched her fists for a moment, but ultimately relaxed them again, sighing anxiously and helplessly to Emery:

“If Rin-chan really just ran away with that blond guy, I’d be relieved—what could that blond guy possibly do? We could just find him and kill him. But Rin-chan has been kidnapped, and by one of the old guard from the three major families. They still have a lot of resources in Sakura Country. If they really want to hide someone, it won’t be easy to find them.”

"What? My lovely cousin has been kidnapped? It seems those foolish bastards still don't know the value of life..."

Amelie immediately stopped smiling, looking quite angry.

What conditions did they propose?

"do not know."

Milain shook his head:

"We just received news of Rin-chan's kidnapping. The messenger said they wanted to speak with Yuki alone first... Hmm? Yuki? How did your talk go?"

As they were talking, Emerald saw Amamiya Yuki walk out of a room not far away, her expression serious and with a hint of doubt.

"Little Ellie? You know about Rin-chan too?"

After walking over, Amamiya Yuki saw Emerald's expression and guessed what was going on.

She glared at Milaine first, then handed her a conch-shaped object:

"They want to talk to you alone."

"I'll see what those bastards are up to!"

Milaine immediately took the conch shell, rubbing her hands together eagerly as she headed towards the room where Tengu Yuki had just come out.

"That's... the kidnappers' communication tool?"

Emery asked a question out of curiosity.

"Ah."

Tian Gongxue nodded calmly:

"About 10 minutes ago, someone delivered that thing to the palace and told me through a special telepathic method that Rin-chan was in their hands and that they wanted to negotiate with me."

"What conditions did they propose to you, Aunt?"

Emerald asked with concern:

"Do you want me to cancel my marriage with my uncle? Do you want some valuable property from me? Do you want me to pardon some heinous criminal? Or do you want me to sign some unequal contract?"

"neither."

　Just... keep Lu Qi in the cage! "Enough? Eight < Yueyi Tiangong Xue shook her head, her face full of doubt:

"They just told me not to disclose the news of Rin-chan's kidnapping to the public, and to hold the welcome dinner for you and Mimi tonight as scheduled... I have already agreed."

"That's all?"

Emery raised an eyebrow, seemingly lost in thought, and said:

"It seems they really don't dare to offend you too much, Aunt. Their real demands are probably aimed at Uncle... Let's see what happens on Uncle's side."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Tian Gongxue also agreed, and even gave a wry smile:

"I hope that idiot Mimi won't act too impulsively, sigh."

The two waited patiently for a few minutes before Milaine emerged from the room, veins bulging on her arms, almost crushing the strange conch shell in her hand.

"What's wrong, Mimi?"

Upon seeing this, Tian Gongxue quickly went over to greet her and asked:

What conditions did they offer you?

"...They want me to personally pilot the magic battleship and bombard Lord Divine Tree during the most exciting part of the banquet tonight, or they'll... Damn it!"

Milain gritted her teeth in anger:

“I didn’t agree to their request. They seemed to know I wouldn’t agree right away, and said they would give me half an hour to consider it… If I still didn’t agree after half an hour, they would send me a part of Rin’s body.”

"Then Uncle, why don't you just agree to their request?"

Emery suddenly chimed in with a lighthearted remark.

"...Little Ellie, are you crazy?"

Milain's eyes widened:

"Personally piloting a magic warship to bombard Lord Divine Tree is tantamount to provoking everyone in Shangying Kingdom! Even if there is a reason, my relationship with Xiaoxue is absolutely over... The best outcome is that I will be expelled from Shangying Kingdom and never be able to return, and the worst outcome is that Xiaoxue will personally execute me in public! Even you, Little Ellie, will definitely be implicated!"

"So, Uncle, are you an idiot? Look at Auntie, she's not as impatient as you!"

Emery rolled her eyes:

"From now until the banquet reaches its peak, it will be at least two hours. If we can just rescue my lovely cousin within those two hours, won't that solve everything?"

"You make it sound so easy... Can it really be that simple?"

Milaine said irritably:

"This is most likely the work of those bastards from the conservative faction of the three major families. They have considerable territory and power in Shangying Kingdom, so hiding someone would be too easy for them... I don't think they can find them easily within 2 hours."

"So, Uncle, you're an idiot! Hehehe!"

Emery made a face at Milaine again before looking at the silent Amamiya Yuki:

"What do you think, Aunt?"

"...Little Ellie, it seems you had this planned all along?"

Those who can be queens are indeed smarter. Even though she was also somewhat love-struck, Tian Gongxue quickly figured out the key point and made a serious promise:

"If you, Ellie, are confident you can rescue Rin-chan, then I must ask you for help... If you can bring Rin-chan back safely this time, I can bestow upon you the title of Princess of Shangying Kingdom, with all the same treatment as a real princess except for the right of inheritance!"

"Aunt, you're being too polite... What do you mean by bestowing a princess title? Rin-chan is my lovely cousin, what reward could I possibly ask for for saving her?"

Emerald simply waved her hand, then smiled confidently:

"Don't worry, Auntie, Rin-chan will definitely be fine... Forget about making me Princess Sakura, just forgive me if I ever cause any trouble in the future."

"Okay, it's settled then."

Amamiya Yuki agreed very readily:

"As long as you can save Rin-chan, little Ellie, no matter what you do in the future, as long as it's something I, as the Queen, can forgive, I will unconditionally pardon you once... By the way, little Ellie, you don't actually have some terrible plan, do you?"

"How could that be? I'm just doing this as a precaution."

Emery shrugged, then said seriously:

"Then it's settled. Uncle, you should agree to their demands first, and then try to delay the execution as much as possible. You can come up with any excuse you want... If you can't even do that, Uncle, don't embarrass yourself in Shangying Kingdom. Just come home with me."

"As for you, Aunt... just host the banquet as usual and act naturally. Leave Rin-chan's affairs to me."

After Milian and Tiangong Xue both agreed with somewhat complicated expressions, Amelie left under the pretext of making some preparations and quickly went into a restroom in the palace.

Watching Emery's confident departure, Milaine, who had been extremely anxious, quickly calmed down, stroked her chin, and spoke in a much more relaxed tone:

"So confident...it seems Ellie was indeed prepared."

"...How so?"

Tian Gongxue was still somewhat puzzled:

"Mimi, isn't this your niece's first visit to Shangying Kingdom? Why does she seem to have better intelligence than I, the Queen? Could it be that she's already made arrangements here? Are all the Federation people doing business in Shangying Kingdom her spies?"

"Hahaha... that's not the case, Ellie isn't that scary."

Milain chuckled, then hesitated for a moment before lowering her voice and saying:

"But Ellie's innate magic is very likely to be precognitive... So even though Ellie won't tell us things in advance, she will make full preparations herself. In these situations, we just need to trust her."

"So it was precognitive ability... No wonder."

Amamiya Yuki looked enlightened, then showed some worry, not about her daughter, but about the conditions that Emery had just proposed:

"So, according to you, the conditions Little Ellie just mentioned were definitely not unfounded... She really will cause a huge disaster in Shangying Kingdom in the future, the kind that I have to personally pardon?"

"Perhaps."

Milain shrugged, then quickly spoke up for Emerald:

"But since Ellie knew all this in advance, she'll probably try her best to avoid losses if she really does something wrong in the future... Don't worry too much."

"...I hope so."

Tian Gongxue was still somewhat worried.

. . . . .

On the other side, after entering a toilet stall and locking it, Emerald first used her magical senses and undead worms to carefully check her surroundings.

After confirming that no one was secretly observing or following her, Emery quietly activated her necromancy, releasing the undead Hoshino Miki from the spirit world.

The true soul and consciousness of Hoshino Miki had long been obliterated by Emerald.

The current Undead Beauty, aside from being much stronger, is now virtually indistinguishable from Emerald's undead worms. Emerald only needs to sever a small portion of her consciousness to remotely control the Undead Beauty like a game character, enhance her with magic, cast spells through her, and even revive her by consuming magic after she's been destroyed.

The undead beauty still looks the same as before, dressed in a kimono and exuding charm. She is breathing, has a heartbeat, and a healthy, rosy complexion. She can also use almost all of her abilities from her previous life.

After checking her surroundings again to make sure no one was watching, Amelie controlled the undead beauty to transform into a wisp of black mist and quietly leave the palace.
