The villain daughter did all kinds of things

A remote, fixed-point portal that facilitates travel between the two countries for ordinary government officials must be built, and both sides quickly reached a consensus on this point.

As the Queen of Shangying Kingdom, Amamiya Yuki naturally has the authority to make decisions on matters of national diplomacy.

Despite having no official position in the Allen Federation, Emery was still able to represent the Allen Federation in discussing various diplomatic matters with Amamiya Yuki.

Milaine was used to this, and Amamiya Yuki wasn't particularly surprised, but Amamiya Rin stared wide-eyed in disbelief:

"I remember you're just a businesswoman from the Allen Federation, right? How come you can make decisions for the Federation's president?"

"Because everyone loves my sister~~"

Amelie still enjoyed teasing her cousin, so she chuckled and said:

"The Grand President has long been captivated by my charm. He agrees to whatever I ask. He's just a stamping machine now. Actually, I'm the real Grand President... The 'Ai' in the Allen Federation belongs to me, Amelie."

"……what?"

Rin Amamiya was even more confused.

"Rin-chan is still young, can you stop trying to fool her?"

Milian couldn't stand it anymore. She first glared at Amelie before giving her daughter a rough explanation of the true power structure of the Allen Federation.

After all, Rin Amamiya was a princess, and she had a high aptitude for political maneuvering. However, no one had told her these things before, because no one knew whether Milian and Yuki Amamiya could actually end up together.

After listening to Milaine's patient explanation, Rin Amamiya immediately understood:

"In other words, the so-called federal government is actually similar to the three provinces and six ministries of the Tianyun Empire. The Grand President is just a prime minister, and the real royal family consists of the Melson and Lohid families... Is that a fair understanding?"

"Uh... our Federation is not a feudal state like the Tianyun Empire, but a more advanced form... never mind."

Milain wanted to explain in more detail, but found that she couldn't explain it clearly, so she could only give up and sigh:

“Rin-chan, your understanding is not wrong... Just like the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sakura would bow and address you as Princess Rin-chan, the Grand Commander would also bow and address Ellie as Miss. So, for the matters that Ellie and your mother have agreed to, the Grand Commander only needs to stamp them afterward.”

Oh~~~~

Rin Amamiya first gave an "oh," then her eyes gradually brightened, and her gaze towards Milaine became somewhat admiring:

"So if that's the case, my father, who voluntarily gave up his right to inherit the family headship, is essentially giving up the throne in exchange for love? That's so romantic... I wonder if I'll ever encounter such a romantic love."

"Then let's not!"

Milaine immediately became alert:

"Rin-chan, you absolutely mustn't have any thoughts of giving up the throne for love. Yuki only has you as her heir... If any bastard dares to trick you into doing something like that, I'll kill him on the spot!"

"Actually, there's no need to be afraid~~"

Emerald had just finished discussing something with Amamiya Yuki when she smiled and leaned over to put her arm around Amamiya Rin's waist.

"Love is unavoidable. If you don't want to be blinded by love, running away won't help. The right thing to do is to love more to gain experience. After going through many battles, you will naturally be fearless. These are all my valuable experiences... Do you want me to teach you myself?"

"...But why do I always feel like you're just lusting after my body, sister?"

Rin Amamiya didn't push Emery's hand away, but she did roll her eyes:

"You know what, sister? You've only been in Shangying Kingdom for a few days, and some of my classmates are already losing their appetite because of you... They say that ever since that night, you've abandoned them. After that, you're always too busy to ask them out, and you never reply to their letters."

"I'm actually doing this for their own good."

Emery showed no shame at being criticized; instead, she laughed openly and said:

"The love story of my third uncle and aunt is hard to replicate. Even if I continue to flirt with them these next few days, it will be difficult for us to end up together... So let's just treat that night as a beautiful memory. I decisively dumped them before they became too infatuated with me, so as not to hurt them too much."

"...Tsk, that's some pretty scumbag talk!"

Rin Amamiya's expression immediately turned disgusted:

"Sister, you're such a jerk, you'll get punished sooner or later."

"But that day will never come."

Because the only person who could punish me was already taken down by me!

Emery smiled smugly and then brought her mouth close to Rin Amamiya's ear:

"Want me to teach you a few tricks so you can win over those classmates? They're all pretty heartbroken after being dumped, and your only friend, Rin, recently died, right? You should go make some new friends~~"

"What I want isn't the kind of friend I'd do experiments with in bed!"

Rin Amamiya finally lost her temper and shoved Emerald away.

And so, after Milian and Tian Gongxue got married, Amelie continued to stay in the palace for four more days, finally managing to get everything settled.

It's time to leave Sakura City and find the old lich to take care of something else.

The old lich acts recklessly, and even Amelie might be in danger if she were with him, let alone Marcy and Flora.

It was impossible for Amelie to take the two of them to the old witch Granny Ya, so she left them at the Tengu Shrine and left Sakura City herself.

After moving away from the influence of the divine tree, Amelie used the communication secret technique between her and the old lich to send a message to the old lich.

Under normal circumstances, the old lich would reply to Amelie's messages almost instantly, at most a few minutes later—after all, the old lich was also a homebody and was usually quite free, so not many people would send her messages on a regular basis.

This time, however, the old lich took a full half day to reply to Amelie, and the voice in that message sounded rather strange, making it hard not to speculate.

...Could my mother-in-law really have gone to meet her old lover? But she's practically just skin and bones except for her hair, how could she possibly meet with her lover?

Amelie thought to herself, while also being very curious about what kind of being could be flirting with the old lich.

Following the address given by the old lich, Amelie flew north and soon met the old lich on a remote island in the Pearl Strait between Shangying Kingdom and Tianyun Kingdom.

"Greetings, Mother-in-law~~ This is a gift I brought for you~~ Would you like to try it?"

Upon meeting, Amelie greeted the old lich very politely, and then took out a sacred fruit from the divine tree and offered it to him with both hands.

This sacred fruit was bestowed upon all the guests by the divine tree during the Queen's wedding. Emerald had already eaten it once, so she didn't eat it on the spot but instead put it away. In the original game, this sacred fruit was a consumable item with a cooldown period, and taking it repeatedly in a short period of time would have a very poor effect.

While the old lich was observing the sacred fruit, Amelie was excitedly searching all over the island, seemingly trying to find someone hiding there.

Unfortunately, Amelie found nothing; the island contained only stones and the old lich.

Moreover, the old lich didn't eat the sacred fruit. She merely observed it for a while, then nodded thoughtfully before tossing it back to Amelie.

"To condense one's excess spiritual essence into fruit and bestow it upon the favored one? That is indeed what that tree would do... Little Ellie, you should keep this fruit for yourself. I have absolutely no use for it. You and the girls around you need it more."

"Yes, thank you, Grandma."

Amelie didn't stand on ceremony, took the fruit, put it away, and asked with a smile:

"Did the old woman find anything?"

"Of course I have... Actually, I've been curious about this so-called sacred fruit for a long time, but unfortunately I have no connection with the Tengu Shrine. If I were to approach it rashly, I would definitely end up fighting with that stupid tree... So I only saw the sacred fruit with my own eyes today, and I don't think it's anything special."

The old lich snorted proudly and stretched out his bone claws to grab at the air.

A large amount of magic and death energy instantly gathered in the old lich's hand, and soon condensed into a purple fruit that looked very much like the poisoned apple in the mythology of Earth.

The old lich proudly tossed the purple fruit a couple of times before tossing it to Amelie.

"Look, I can do this trick too."

Wow! No wonder she's my mother-in-law, she learned it after just one look?

While Emery was greatly amazed, she took the purple fruit and examined it curiously for a few moments, then her expression became somewhat strange:

"But...Grandma, can people really eat this fruit? Apart from people like me who also specialize in necromancy, I'm afraid anyone else would die after just one bite, right? Such a powerful force could be used as poison."

"Silly Ellie!"

The old lich immediately flicked a finger at Amelie's forehead, then flew back and reattached itself.

"The Fruit of Death Essence that I made is certainly not for the living! Try feeding it to the undead and you'll see the effect!"

Oh right!

Emery then realized that she had indeed been slow to react.

After thinking for a moment, she summoned the undead Aya and fed her the purple fruit.

After the fruit was eaten by the undead Ayahime, the rich essence of death energy immediately began to brutally transform her, attempting to turn her into a powerful but hideous monster.

Fortunately, Emery was prepared and immediately focused her mind to control the power, allowing it to target and strengthen the undead Aya according to her own will.

Soon, the undead Aya's aura became even more beautiful, and her aura became closer to that of a living person. Her skin was smooth and supple, her breath was warm, and her body was also warm... Unless you cut her open for examination, it would be almost impossible to discover that she was actually an undead.

Not only that, but the strength of the undead Ayahime has also been significantly enhanced.

Originally, Hoshino Ayahime's strength was at the second stage of cultivation, roughly equivalent to level 20 in the original game. After being killed and becoming an undead, she might drop a few more levels.

Now that she has eaten the Death Essence Fruit made by the old lich, the undead Aya's strength is at least equivalent to level 80 in the original game. If she can eat a few more, it is not impossible for her to evolve directly into an elite undead.

Because a living person's body has a limit to its absorption capacity, while a dead person does not.

"Any more, Grandma? Could you give me a few more?"

Seeing how effective the fruit was, Emery didn't hold back at all and reached out to take some.

Then the old lich slapped Amelie's palm:

"Want some? Then you're not allowed to slack off in your match against my old friend's disciple! If you can win convincingly, I might give you a few more."

"Gulp... Okay."

Emerald had initially thought she could just go through the motions in that match, but now it seems she can't afford to slack off. She just hopes her opponent will be weaker.

The old lich then glanced at the undead Aya a few more times, before suddenly letting out a strange, cacophony of laughter:

"If I'm not mistaken, this new undead you should be the daughter of the elite undead I gave you, right? I didn't expect you to actually reunite them, mother and daughter. You really know how to play... How does the undead mother and daughter flower taste? Compared to the living?"

"...Mother-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Emery immediately stomped her foot:

"It's true that I like pretty girls, but it's not enough to go after undead! Besides, although these two undead have different bodies from mine, they are still under my control! What's the difference between toying with them and toying with myself?"

"...You've really never played it before?"

The old lich was quite surprised:

"It's not for fun, Ellie, why did you make your undead look so much like a living person? It has body temperature, it breathes, and it's even all wet and lifelike. What's the point of it besides being fun?"

"Of course, it's for intelligence warfare! Intelligence warfare!"

Emery complained in a very irritating way:

"Someone like you, Grandma, probably doesn't understand, does she? Not all enemies are weaker than you. When you encounter a powerful enemy, you must first try to gather intelligence and then fight accordingly!"

"Tch, isn't it all just fancy talk in the end?"

The old lich curled his lip:

"All things are equal before death... In the end, it's just that you're too lazy, Ellie. If you could calm down and feel and understand the power of death, then no matter what strange abilities your enemy has, you can use death to send them directly to their end!"

"So I don't have your strength, Mother-in-law... Besides, I'm still young, you can't always hold me to your own standards!"

Emery offered a speechless explanation, then simply changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, why haven't I seen your old friend, Grandma? Didn't you come to Shangying Kingdom specifically to see her?"

"After receiving your message, I sent her away."

When the old crow mentioned his old friend, his tone became a little strange:

"That girl is quite formidable. I can't let you meet her before your match with her disciple. If she discovers your true strength and teaches her disciple to use a counter-strategy, it will be very difficult... Of course, she hasn't brought her disciple with her these past few days while she's been with me, so I still don't know who her disciple is or what her abilities are."

...So you two have been enjoying some alone time these past few days, right?

Amelie became even more gossipy and looked curiously at the old lich:

"So, who exactly is your friend, Grandma? How did you two meet back then?"

"...Tsk, this little girl isn't very capable, but she's quite gossipy."

The old lich, of course, saw through Amelie's gossipy nature, but didn't pay much attention. Instead, he recalled for a moment and then actually began to tell Amelie a story:

"The process of getting to know her... was actually not complicated."

"That was before Pirate Island was established. At that time, I was wanted by the Federation and couldn't go home, so I could only wander around the sea, which was quite boring."

"So I wandered all the way to this continent east of the White Sea. At that time, I had not committed any crimes on this continent, so of course I could go ashore whenever I wanted."

"I crossed the White Sea eastward, and the place where I landed was not Shangying Kingdom, but Tianyun Empire."

"I didn't mean to cause trouble; I just wanted to find a lively place to have some fun."

"I never expected that the Yun Empire was implementing some kind of closed-door policy. Apart from the Dongge Mansion, foreigners have no human rights and can be killed at will, like hunting monsters."
