The villain daughter did all kinds of things

The girl was naturally even more excited and immediately began to carry out the orders, earning envious glances from the other women around her.

...I really want to lick the young lady too! xN

While Ameliete was enjoying the romance of nature, the Aishue was flying at high speed in the air and soon approached Yecang Mountain in the northwest of Shangying Kingdom.

As early as when the Aiyuki was flying northwest, Hoshino Takashi, the head of the Hoshino family, who had also attended the banquet and boarded the magic warship, realized that something was seriously wrong.

Although Hoshino Takashi and the Hoshino family's elder were not on the same side, they were still from the same family, and he was aware of the elder's plans.

Judging from the current situation, the Grand Elder has definitely been exposed.

In order to prevent the actions of the conservatives from implicating the entire Hoshino family, Hoshino Takashi's mind was racing the whole way, trying to think of an excuse to completely sever ties between the family and the conservatives.

Unexpectedly, neither Yuki Amamiya nor Milain mentioned the Hoshino family, just as they didn't know who was behind the kidnapping of Rin Amamiya.

The statement that Amamiya Yuki made to the public basically adopted Emeryte's suggestion:

We don't know who the mastermind is. We only found communication records between the kidnappers and the mastermind at the kidnapping scene, and we located the coordinates based on the communication records.

Anyone who dares to plot the kidnapping of the princess is not entitled to a fair trial; he will only suffer the wrath of the royal family.

Simply put, the Queen is also a human being, a mother. She is now angry and wants to avenge her bullied daughter, so she doesn't need any reason; she can just attack the target's location directly.

Tian Gongxue said this, and she did it.

Once the coordinates of the Hoshino family's third secret vault entered the firing range of the magic warship, Amamiya Yuki, without hesitation, issued the order in her capacity as queen:

Bomb it hard!

Chapter 253 I was just conducting an experiment with them.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Amidst the continuous roars and flames, the powerful firepower, enough to raze a medium-sized town to the ground, was unleashed into Ye Cang Mountain by the Ai Xue's naval gun salvo.

The nobles and dignitaries of Shangying Kingdom who witnessed all this could not hide their shock, and even Amamiya Yuki, who gave the order to bombard the enemy, was somewhat surprised.

An attack capable of destroying a town is nothing to them; most third-stage cultivators could do it.

However, regardless of the type of cultivator at the third stage, destroying a town requires them to exert their full power, and after the burst of power comes a period of weakness—even if they recover quickly, they still need a certain amount of time to recover, and it is even more difficult to achieve continuous bursts of power.

And what about the magic warship?

After unleashing enough firepower to destroy a medium-sized town, the Aishue's energy consumption was less than 1.5%, which is quite terrifying.

More importantly, none of the pilots of the entire Aishue were powerful individuals; most of them were even ordinary people. The Aishue was a completely man-made weapon.

This shatters many people's preconceived notions: destruction is no longer the exclusive domain of the strong; ordinary people can also achieve this with the help of man-made weapons.

Just imagining the scene of a fleet of magical warships covering the sky in a war made many people turn pale and their legs go weak... Who could possibly fight against such an army?

Although magical warships are indeed much less agile than powerful cultivators, they are easily shot down once a strong person infiltrates the ship, since most warship operators are ordinary people.

However, the Melson family had already suffered enough from this kind of loss during the Elf Wars and had a very simple solution.

Just like how the army of Earth still needs infantry-tank coordination no matter how advanced its equipment is, we can simply equip each magic warship with one or two fusion-stage mages to cooperate in combat.

In fact, this method was indeed effective. The Federation Expeditionary Force used this method to sweep through the elven magic legions and reach the elven capital until the elven queen intervened.

In short, this sortie by the magic warships completely overturned the notion held by the nobles of Shangying Kingdom that only the number of strong individuals could determine the outcome of a war.

Many people who initially had some reservations about Milaine becoming a prince had their opinions vanish as the magic warships unleashed their cannon fire.

We must curry favor with this new prince and his family.

There are essentially three ways to please a man.

First, give him the treasures he likes.

Second, give it to the woman he likes.

Third, use the two methods mentioned above to please his family.

Giving treasure... Milain is already the third young master of the Melson family, and now he's going to become a prince of Shangying Kingdom. How could he lack wealth? What kind of treasure hasn't he seen? The priceless treasure in your eyes may be nothing to him. Giving treasure poorly can backfire.

Sending women... Milain is the Queen's husband and the princess's father. Sending him women is like planting grass on the Queen's head! Don't you want to live? This path is a dead end from the start.

Therefore, many people who wanted to curry favor with Milleen, the future prince, could only resort to a third method: ingratiating themselves with Milleen's family to indirectly achieve their goal.

However, Milain's wife is a queen and his daughter is a princess. As a citizen of Shangying Kingdom, it is only natural for him to please them, so it's pointless.

Therefore, those who want to cultivate a good relationship with Milaen, the rising star of Shangying Kingdom, are left with only one option—to curry favor with Milaen's niece, Emerald, and then convey their intention to befriend Milaen through Emerald.

This is why many officials and wealthy businessmen in Shangying Kingdom who are not at the top level would have their wives and daughters curry favor with Emerald.

They already had this idea, and now, after witnessing the power of the Snowy, they were even more determined to do so... As a result, the ladies who received the new news from the family were even more eager to stick themselves to Amelie.

Amelie didn't stand on ceremony. The ladies and young women of the powerful families in Shangying Kingdom were all of very good quality. Why not take advantage of the free snacks? All she had to do was remember a few family names and give her third uncle a heads-up afterward.

Milion was equally pleased with these things—because if Emery spent all her time on those ladies, she wouldn't have time to seduce his daughter, and he really didn't want his daughter to be ruined by a scumbag woman.

The bombardment from the Aishue continued for a full 30 minutes before it stopped.

After the shelling ended, Tian Gongxue immediately ordered the royal family warriors to investigate the target location to see if there were any traces left by the mastermind.

The Hoshino family's elder and his confidants had long since been killed in the shelling, and nothing could be found by visual inspection alone.

But just as the Allen Federation has various methods to detect traces of magic left by people, the Shangying Kingdom has similar methods.

The royal warriors completed their investigation in just over ten minutes, confirming that the area bombarded originally contained a fortress-level underground fortification with at least several hundred people inside, including a Dao Enlightenment stage expert, all of whom were completely annihilated in the bombardment.

Unbeknownst to others, this place had already been ambushed by the Undead Beauty, and everyone assumed that the Enlightenment stage expert and his subordinates had been killed by the cannon fire of the magic warship.

The people of Shangying Kingdom were naturally more wary of the magical warship's combat power, and even Milain was somewhat surprised.

As a member of the Melson family, Milain was naturally confident in his family's magical warships, but confidence did not equate to arrogance.

The combined fire of the magic warships' cannons could indeed kill a third-stage cultivator equivalent to a fusion-stage mage, based on statistics, but that's only in terms of statistics.

Because if someone can't win, they can run away. Strong people have many ways to save their lives, and they are generally more flexible than the cannon fire of a magic warship.

At least in the Elf Wars, magical warships never managed to kill an Elf Archmage solely through their own cannon fire—every Elf Archmage who died under the ship's cannons did so only with the cooperation of a Fusion-stage mage.

So what happened to that old idiot who died under the ship's guns?

Milain thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out that those who went to intercept him from the conservative faction of the three founding families had now become undead warriors, and one of them belonged to Emeryte.

He could only conclude that the old fool had never seen a magic warship before and was overconfident in his own strength and the defensive capabilities of his underground fortifications. By the time he realized something was wrong and tried to evacuate, it was too late.

Regardless of the circumstances, the deaths of the Hoshino family's eldest elder and his confidants were something everyone was happy to see.

Needless to say, the Queen and her family killed the mastermind behind the kidnapping plot and vented their anger.

Even Hoshino Takashi, the head of the Hoshino family, secretly rejoiced that the First Elder had died a good thing, as there was now no way to verify the case, and the Hoshino family no longer had to worry about being implicated in the kidnapping case.

Although the complete annihilation of the conservative faction was a devastating blow to the Hoshino family, they managed to retain more than half of their strength. As long as they don't continue their reckless actions, maintaining their position among the top three families shouldn't be a problem.

Where there are conservatives, there are reformers. Not everyone in the Hoshino family dislikes Milaine. Hoshino Takashi has always advocated for a good relationship with Milaine, but unfortunately, the conservatives have interfered, causing his attempts to make overtures to fail several times... Now he can try again.

In short, the Aiyuki's mission was a great success, eliminating the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Rin Amamiya and serving as a demonstration and deterrent, further solidifying Milaen's position in the Kingdom of Sakura.

As for the gains from Emerald's actions, besides helping Uncle Three, there were two other benefits.

The first one is Hoshino Ayahime, who is now the undead Ayahime. Her innate supernatural power is surprisingly useful and it is especially compatible with Emerald's money power. Emerald has already planned to train her to become her main elite undead.

Secondly, there were the ladies and young women I had just met at the banquet.

After disembarking from the Aishue, they didn't even return to the palace for the banquet. Instead, they went to a grand hotel in Sakura City, booked an entire floor, and indulged in revelry for most of the night.

It wasn't until the next morning, when it was barely dawn, that Emery returned to the small courtyard house that Tiangongxue had arranged for her, with dark circles under her eyes and yawning.

Flora was still meditating, just as she herself said, she didn't want to waste a single minute of this excellent environment for meditation in the shrine, she was so eager to take that final half-step.

Marcy wasn't asleep either, or rather, she had just dozed off by the window when she heard Emerald's footsteps and woke up.

This scene actually made Emery feel guilty for almost half a second, like the feeling of coming home after a night of partying at a brothel only to find his wife waiting for him all night.

"Young Miss is back? You must be very tired after a long night~~"

Marcy didn't show any jealousy or resentment. She simply went forward to help Amelie into the west wing of the courtyard and activated a magical circuit on a large wooden barrel:

"Would you like to take a bath and relax first? I'll take care of you."

"……Um."

Amelie was indeed quite tired.

Those ladies are all ordinary people; it would be too boring to use supernatural powers to fight them with water magic.

In order to enjoy this rare night of indulgence and pleasure, Amelie didn't use any support magic last night, and even deliberately sealed most of her physical abilities, just to relive the joy of her school days.

Now that we're finally back at our lodgings, it's really nice to have Marcy serve us a hot bath first.

With that thought in mind, Amelie's crimson gown slid down her back on its own.

At this moment, with the operation of the magic circuit inside the large wooden tub, most of the tub was filled with hot water at a temperature just right for a bath. Ameliete immediately soaked in it, resting her head on the edge of the tub and letting out a couple of comfortable hums.

Upon seeing this, Marcy quickly went behind Emerald, first placing the back of Emerald's head from the hard wooden tub onto her soft body, before reaching into the water to help Emerald bathe.

This was a task that Marcy was already very familiar with. Before long, she had completely relaxed Amelie's slightly tense body, closed her eyes, and made soft breathing sounds, as if she had fallen asleep.

But she didn't fall asleep, because Emery soon sighed softly:

"Sissi, your technique is really good... You really have outstanding maid talent. I wish I had gotten you sooner."

"It's all because you, Miss, have developed me well. Because you wanted me to be an excellent maid, I became a maid who could satisfy you to some extent."

Marcy's voice clearly brightened; she unconsciously hummed a little tune as she continued washing Emerald's body, but then lowered her head and brought her mouth close to Emerald's ear:

"Speaking of which... are Japanese girls fun, Miss? I haven't seen you indulge like this in a long time."

"Actually, it's mainly about maintaining my public image... By doing this tonight, I think many people in Shangying Kingdom can sleep soundly."

Emery chuckled softly, then thought for a moment and said:

"As for these Japanese girls... well, they are indeed quite different from the girls in the Federation. In some ways, they are more like elves."

"Oh? Why are you so good at talking?"

Marcy began carefully washing Emerald's long pink hair, asking curiously as she did so.

"Their deep-seated admiration for strength is very much like the fallen nature of elves."

Emery smacked her lips a few more times, her face filled with reminiscence, and said:

"I only showed them a little bit of my strength tonight, and they completely gave in. They gave in to me no matter what I did to them, almost like Anna who just submitted to me. They were also completely able to accept some of the things I considered to be a bit perverted."

"It's a pity that the biggest difference between them and elves is that they are too weak. They all talk about what they want to do, but as soon as I get a little too intense, they all scream and faint... Some even need me to heal them with holy magic. They're really weaklings."

"so……"

As Amelie spoke, she suddenly activated her magic, grabbing Marcy, who was washing her hair behind her, and pulling her into the large wooden tub as well, completely soaking Marcy's maid outfit.

"It's Sisi who's so nice... Come on, let's wash together... Or you can just stay in the water and continue serving me until I finish washing."

"Yes, Miss!"

Marcy, of course, wouldn't refuse something that was a complete reward for her.

There's always a lot of dew on the petals on a spring morning.

. . . . .

After being bathed by Marcy, Emerald went to sleep and slept until noon before lazily getting up.

She didn't want to get up, but a palace maid came to her and said that the Queen and her family wanted her to come to the palace for lunch, so she had no choice but to get up.

The royal lunch was not as luxurious and extravagant as legend had it.

Even with Emery, who was practically a guest, present, the lunch was only 10 dishes, 2 soups, and rice.

Of course, every dish was exquisitely prepared, and the ingredients were all of the highest quality, but in terms of luxury, it still couldn't compare to the top conglomerates in the Federation.

The only people sitting at the dining table were the Queen, her family of three, and Amelie, a total of four people, each accompanied by a maid.

It seems that the dining habits of the Commonwealth people were taken into account, as there was a set of bowls and chopsticks as well as a set of knives and forks at Amelie's place.

However, Emery didn't even glance at the knife and fork, and directly picked up the chopsticks, using them with more skill than Milain, who had lived in Shangying Kingdom for over 20 years.

Amamiya Yuki and Amamiya Rin were both surprised, while Milain burst into laughter:

"How about that? I told you long ago, there's no need to prepare knives and forks for Ellie. This girl has loved Eastern food since she was little. She not only knows how to eat but also how to cook... In the first two years after I came here, I would search everywhere for local seasonings every time I came, just for Ellie."

"Oh, not at all... Eastern cuisine is definitely the most authentic in the East. The ones I make myself are far from good. The good taste comes entirely from the seasonings."

Amelie smiled very modestly.
