The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Amamiya Yuki could actually accept this.

The daughter has returned safely, and all those directly involved in her kidnapping are dead. For the sake of national stability, it's not unreasonable to leave this matter here.

But Milion was very unwilling. The conservative faction of the three founding families was always causing him trouble. They not only tried to kill him but also kidnapped his daughter. No man could tolerate that.

We must retaliate. Even if we can't capture and kill all those people, we must inflict heavy losses on them.

However, as the queen, Amamiya Yuki must consider the overall stability of the country. She would not act rashly without solid evidence, unless Amamiya Rin is willing to ruin the reputation of her only friend even after her death.

Not wanting to put his wife and daughter in a difficult position, Milley decided to consult with his cunning but reliable niece.

What was Emery doing at that moment?

After Emerald carried Rin Amamiya to the palace, Rin was immediately called away by her parents for questioning, while Emerald, like a triumphant general, returned to the banquet to receive cheers and praise from the people.

Those ladies and young women who had already accepted the task of currying favor with her and had indeed begun to admire her became even more obsessed with her after watching Emeryte's rescue of Rin Amamiya. Their admiration for her strength and their love for her beauty both erupted at the same time.

Even if these ladies and young women don't have any task to please Amelie, they would be willing to climb into Amelie's bed at her mere beckoning—even if there's no benefit in it, as long as they can have a night with Amelie.

This can be considered the kind of romance that many women in the privileged class pursue amidst their extravagant lifestyles.

So when Milaine found Emerald, Emerald was already having a great time with those beautiful ladies.

It wouldn't be right to start a water magic duel right at the banquet, but Emerald had already taken a well-built noblewoman and sat her in her lap like a recliner.

He had a pure and lovely noble lady in each arm, and every now and then he would turn his head to the left and right and kiss them.

There were also more than a dozen other women, all with outstanding figures and looks, surrounding her and vying to serve Amelie like maids. They would either personally feed her wine or fruit, and they almost never fed her by hand.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing that the group of women were completely ignoring him and having fun, Milain could only cough loudly before saying:

"Little Ellie, come here for a second! I need to talk to you about something! It's important!"

"...Look, some stinky man has come to bother us, what a pity~~"

Emerald glanced lazily at Milaine at first, and seeing that Milaine was already rubbing her hands together, ready to punch someone, she randomly kissed a few women around her, then stood up surrounded by them:

"Alright, I'll be staying in Sakura City for several more days. We'll have plenty of time to have fun afterwards. Now I need to take care of some business."

Although Emerald is alluring and charming when indulging in pleasure, she can immediately switch to a serious or even somewhat cold demeanor when she gets serious.

So even though the women were quite reluctant to leave, no one dared to stop her, nor did they harbor any resentment towards Emery because of it.

On the contrary, their extreme admiration for strength only made them more obsessed with Emerald's decisive and ruthless behavior. Specifically, the girls who had just been kissed by Emerald were completely limp, their eyes glazed over.

"...Seeing is believing."

After leading Amelie to a slightly secluded spot, Milaine couldn't help but sigh:

“I’ve heard about your outrageous behavior at the Federal Noble Girls’ Academy before, and I always thought those rumors were exaggerated… But judging from your performance tonight, I think those rumors might actually be conservative.”

"It's really nothing, isn't it?"

Emerald simply shrugged indifferently:

"You rich young masters can keep over a hundred beautiful girls as mistresses, and noble elven ladies can keep hundreds of strong human men as male concubines, so why can't I find more beautiful girls to be with? Am I any worse than anyone else?"

"Uh...that seems to make sense too."

Milain seemed a little confused, scratching his head:

"Beauties are only meant for the strong. Little Ellie, you're so outstanding, you're definitely one of the strong. So it's not a big deal for you to have more beauties... Anyway, let's not talk about that. I came to you to discuss whether we can teach those bastards behind the kidnapping of Rin-chan a lesson?"

Without waiting for Emerald to respond, Milaine explained the current situation and the difficulties she was facing to Emerald, and then asked:

"Little Ellie, you're full of clever ideas, do you have any good suggestions?"

"There are solutions... of course."

Emery clearly anticipated this situation, showing no surprise whatsoever, but immediately gave a confident smile:

"Uncle, have you ever heard the saying—'Investigating a case requires lists and evidence, while counter-terrorism only needs coordinates.' Rin is the princess and first in line to the throne of this country. Kidnapping her can hardly be considered an act of terrorism, right?"

"Counter-terrorism only requires coordinates..."

Milain pondered the sentence several times, and his eyes lit up. As quick-witted as he was, he already roughly understood what Emerald meant:

"Little Ellie, you mean... you know where those people are?"

"Hmm~~"

Amélie proudly raised her head:

“I happen to have some detailed coordinates here… I don’t know where that is, or who’s there, but I know that’s where the kidnappers report to… Uncle, do you understand?”

"Got it! Of course I got it! Hahaha... Little Ellie, you're so clever!"

Milain's eyes brightened, and then she burst into laughter:

"Those bastards wanted to see my magic warship, didn't they? This time, let them experience firsthand what artillery barrage and saturation bombardment really mean!"

. . . . .

On the other side, after dealing with Nasaka Castle, the undead beauty went directly to the Hoshino family's No. 3 secret vault in Yecang Mountain, as provided by Hoshino Ayahime, and met the Hoshino family's eldest elder.

The eldest elder of the Hoshino family was more cunning and intelligent than Hoshino Ayahime, but there weren't many intelligent people like him.

Hoshino Ayahime believed everything the undead Miki said, while the Hoshino family elder was skeptical of Miki's words and kept pressing her about what happened at sea and what that so-called great opportunity was.

This was no problem for Emerald. She pieced together the underwater adventure stories she had read in her previous life and manipulated the undead princess to tell the Hoshino family elder a vivid story, while constantly toasting him during the narration.

The eldest elder of the Hoshino family eventually believed it and drank most of the sake offered by the undead princess.

In fact, Emery's underwater adventure story was not without flaws. If the eldest elder of the Hoshino family were willing to calm down and think carefully, he would have been able to see through it.

The problem is that the Hoshino family's eldest elder is unwilling.

In order to intercept Milaine at sea, the conservative faction of the three starter families mobilized all their strongest members.

If all these powerful figures were to perish, it would be a catastrophic, even devastating, blow to the conservative faction of the three founding families.

Therefore, even though the eldest elder of the Hoshino family knew that the story told by the undead princess had flaws, deep down he still wanted to believe it; he couldn't accept the fact that all those powerful figures had been wiped out.

Deep down, people are always more inclined to believe the possibility that is in their own best interest. Few people can truly remain calm, at least not the eldest elder of the Hoshino family.

So he's finished.

When the informant who attended the royal banquet reported that Rin Amamiya had been rescued, the Hoshino family elder, no matter how unwilling he was to believe it, had to accept that the undead beauty was the problem.

But it's too late.

The Hoshino family's eldest elder was also a powerful cultivator at the Enlightenment stage, even stronger than the undead beauty in her lifetime. He was roughly equivalent to Emery without using the Heavenly Wing Saintess, which is around level 300 in the original game.

In a direct confrontation, the undead princess would be no match for the Hoshino family's elder.

Unfortunately, the Hoshino family elder had already drunk many cups of wine offered by the Undead Princess. Those cups were all poisoned by the Undead Princess, most of which were bought by Emerald and had little effect on the strong. However, two special poisons still had a significant effect.

One of the poisons was the research waste from the old lich Granny Ya's research into the secrets of death. She herself didn't want it, but Amelie picked it up and mixed it together to use as a poison... Regardless of what the original effects and medicinal properties of those wastes were, after being contaminated with the death power of the old lich Granny Ya, they were more deadly than the most poisonous potions.

The other poison was made by Lily of the Valley, using the technique left behind by old man Langdon.

This poison isn't particularly lethal, but it can cause complete paralysis and loss of strength. It's equally effective against powerful mages at the Fusion stage... Emery originally intended to use it as a secret weapon against Yulia in the water magic duel, but unexpectedly, Yulia was only affected once and then became immune to the poison through cellular evolution, rendering it ineffective. Now, it's a waste that's being put to good use.

With both poisons taking effect simultaneously, coupled with the undead beauty's decisive sneak attack, even though the Hoshino family's eldest elder had prepared many trump cards, he still suffered a crushing defeat.

His vitality was severely eroded by the power of death, leading to the failure of all his organs and leaving him almost unable to move, like a true old man in his twilight years.

The potion prepared by Suzuran amplified this effect, rendering the Hoshino family's eldest elder completely immobile, causing him to absorb all the attacks and further aggravating his injuries.

After confirming that the Hoshino family's eldest elder had completely lost the ability to resist and move, the undead princess did not kill him directly. Instead, she severed his limbs, sealed his spiritual power, and left him in the No. 3 secret vault to wait for death.

As for the elder's confidants in the Hoshino family's third secret vault, there were naturally quite a few of them.

However, the other powerful members of the Hoshino family's conservative faction have all gone out to sea to intercept and kill Milain. Currently, the only Enlightenment stage expert in the No. 3 Secret Vault is the Grand Elder.

After the Grand Elder was completely defeated, the remaining small fry were naturally no match for the Undead Beauty, who possessed the strength of the Enlightenment stage.

Even the weakest third stage is not something the second stage can easily exploit. The undead beauty slaughtered all of the Hoshino family elder's confidants like crushing minions, and even piled their corpses up around the elder, making him almost faint from anger.

. . . . .

Sakura Capital, Royal Palace.

After receiving a reminder and intelligence support from Emeryte, Milion managed to persuade his wife, Amamiya Yuki, after much persuasion.

The mastermind behind the kidnapping of Rin Amamiya must be taught a severe lesson.

Investigating cases requires evidence and lists, while counterterrorism only requires coordinates.

For the sake of the overall stability of Shangying Kingdom, and also to save face for some people, there's no need to delve into the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes; we can simply launch a powerful attack on the place where he is located.

If we can kill them outright, that would be the best outcome, as it would be a way to vent our anger for our daughter. Even if we can't kill them, it would still cause significant damage to the other party and serve as a deterrent and warning, so it wouldn't be a complete loss.

If the coordinates given by Emeryte were for a town in the Kingdom of Sakura, then Miyako Yuki would never have agreed to it—she would rather send people to continue investigating the truth than use a magical warship to bombard her own city.

However, the Hoshino family's No. 3 secret vault on Yecang Mountain is a secret base, located deep in the mountains where there are no people for more than ten kilometers around, so it doesn't matter.

Bombard them fiercely!

Amamiya Yuki eventually agreed to the plan, and even Amamiya Rin herself expressed her desire to witness the end of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Many of the nobles and celebrities from Shangying Kingdom who attended the royal banquet were also very curious about the power of the magic warship and wanted to visit it.

Milian certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to establish his authority. He had the interested nobles of Shangying Kingdom board the Ai Xue ship together at the royal banquet to witness the end of the mastermind behind the kidnappers.

Of course, Amelie wouldn't miss this opportunity to watch the spectacle, and the ladies who had previously surrounded her also boarded the Snowy with her.

While Emery was boasting about the magical warship to the beauties with her arms around them, Rin Amamiya suddenly came to find her.

Rin Amamiya initially seemed to have something to say to Emerald, but upon seeing Emerald enjoying herself among the flowers, her expression immediately turned disgusted, and she said:

"It seems I've arrived at the wrong time, cousin. Well then, I won't disturb your enjoyment any longer."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey, Rin-chan, don't go! You've come just in time!"

As she spoke, Emerald glanced left and right at the two girls in her arms, decisively releasing the less attractive girl from her left arm, ignoring her resentful, biting-lip look, and directly extending her hand to Amamiya Rin:

"Rin, look, this spot is all set! Come here and let your big sister give you a hug~~"

"Tsk, what a scumbag!"

Rin Amamiya's expression of disgust deepened, and she strode away without a second thought, leaving only her annoyed voice behind:

"Cousin, you should wipe the lipstick mark off your neck first!"

"Uh……"

Emery was speechless, but didn't really care.

She would never give up the whole flower garden just to please one woman. If you can't accept that about her, then don't bother with her. It doesn't matter.

However, upon hearing that there was a lip print on her neck, Amelie quickly checked herself and found that there really was one on the left side of her neck. She hadn't noticed it before and must have been secretly kissed by one of the girls while she was drinking and having fun with two girls on either side.

Thinking of this, Emerald looked at the girl she had just released, and without a second thought, pulled her into her arms again, smiling as she asked:

"Is that the lip print on my neck yours?"

The girl's expression changed rapidly in an instant.

There was resentment, anger, unwillingness, gritted teeth, and even the urge to explode at Emery, but in the end, it turned into shyness and secret joy.

She didn't even dare to pinch Amelie, so she lay on top of Amelie and responded in a very soft voice:

"Ah."

"Heh...what a bold and naughty girl, daring to steal a kiss from me~~"

Emery spoke in a tone that seemed somewhat reproachful:

"Look, it's all your fault! My cute little sister dislikes me now... Tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?"

"Any form of compensation will do!"

The girl's body trembled slightly, but she suddenly became excited:

"I will obey your orders, Miss!"

"Do as I say... Hmph."

Emery squinted and thought for a moment, then tilted her head slightly to the other side, so that the spot on her neck with the lipstick mark was facing the girl:

"Then come on... lick the lipstick mark you left on me clean."

"Yes, Miss! I'm coming right away!"
