The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Marcy touched her head as she spoke, a look of confusion in her eyes:

"I told the Divine Tree in my heart that I wanted to become stronger and that I wanted to use my power to help the young lady... Then I felt a warm and powerful force enter my body, making my consciousness feel light and airy... When I woke up again, I saw Flora glaring at me with a face full of jealousy..."

"As expected, I knew it."

Emerald smiled broadly and hooked her finger under Marcy's chin:

"No one would dislike a cute girl like you, Sisi. Even the Divine Tree dotes on you. You wished to become stronger, and it helped you break through."

She muttered to herself—given the divine tree's character, the saying "unsolicited favors are either for ulterior motives" was a bit inappropriate, but since He had suddenly given Marcy such a great benefit, He most likely needed something from her, and it was something that only Emery could or was suitable to do.

Let's go to the palace later and find out if anything has happened in Shangying Kingdom recently.

"I don't care about others, as long as Miss will always like me."

Marcy squinted comfortably, her voice growing increasingly seductive:

"I'm willing to do anything for the young lady."

"Is that so?"

Amélie raised an eyebrow and chuckled, her hand, which had been holding Marcy's chin, sliding down to gently pull the bow at the neckline of Marcy's maid outfit.

"Then... let me see your fused organs, Sisi?"

"I've been waiting to hear you say that for so long, Miss!"

Marcy's voice became even softer, and her breath was sweet as she spoke.

She gently hooked her hand around her collar, then smiled and turned aside.

“I have been cleaning your room carefully these past few days... so that I can serve you whenever you come back.”

...about half an hour later.

Emerald leaned against the headboard, one arm around the fast-sleeping Marcy, while the other hand gently wiped her lips, which still carried a certain fragrance, with a strange expression.

Sisi's fused organs are actually... Sure enough, when I pampered her and Anna together before, she was quite concerned about my craving for fairy honey.

Compared to the original game, this Marcy has completely gone astray and can't be brought back at all.

In the original game, Marcy gained even more powerful fire abilities during her breakthrough in order to help Yulia in battle, transforming herself from a healer into the strongest fire-type damage dealer in the entire game.

However, the real Marcy in this world has never experienced a single actual battle... The time she was ambushed and killed by an assassin should not even be considered a battle.

Marcy's only combat skill is accompanying Emerald in her water magic training at night. Her daily work is also taking care of Emerald's daily needs as her personal maid, which is completely different from the situation in the original game where she is forced to participate in every battle.

This means that the fusion organ that Masie obtained when she broke through the fusion stage has little to do with combat, but its power is very strong, no less than the strongest fire-type output ability in the original game.

Marcy's fusion organ is two moon springs in her chest, whose ability is to produce a kind of life-giving flame essence.

It was an orange-colored liquid with a very refreshing aroma, rich in a life force strong enough to revive the dead and heal the wounded. It also had a silky, sweet taste, an exquisite flavor, almost tailor-made for Amelie's palate, and was even more beloved by her than Elf Honey.

After enjoying her own satisfaction, Emerald also had Suzuran test the essence of the Flame of Life produced by Massie, and the initial conclusions she obtained surprised Emerald.

Even without any further processing, diluting this essence of vitality flames with water at a ratio of 1:10 would produce a solution with a therapeutic effect at least 70% stronger than the best current treatment solutions.

Marcy's ability to produce this essence of life flame is similar to that of a normal fusion-stage mage producing magic power through fusion organs; as long as it does not exceed a certain rate, it is limitless.

What does this mean? It means that if Amelie wanted to, she could launch a brand new healing potion at any time and use it to make herself a giant in the pharmaceutical industry again.

Of course, Emerald would not easily sell Marcy's essence of the Flame of Life, which was the power Marcy obtained for her... Although Marcy herself might not care, Emerald must cherish this great treasure.

Simply diluting it with water is more effective than the best healing potions available. If an even more efficient formula could be developed based on biology, alchemy, and potion-making... perhaps the legendary panacea could truly be created.

Thinking of this, Emerald instinctively hugged Marcy even tighter... Now Marcy had truly become her darling, her importance even surpassing that of Julia.

"Well done, Sisi."

Emery gave Marcy a light kiss on the lips, then leaned close to Marcy's ear:

"I'm liking you more and more, and I'm becoming more and more... dependent on you."

Marcy seemed to hear it in her sleep; her previously even breathing became sweeter, and the smile on her sleeping face became even brighter.

. . . . .

Emerald had originally planned to do nothing all day but spend the day cuddling with Marcy in the room and having some fun.

Unfortunately, her third uncle's family didn't think so. After learning that Amelie had returned, a palace maid came to the courtyard at noon and invited Amelie to the palace for lunch.

Amélie could only reluctantly get up from Marcy's side and follow her to the palace.

It was a very simple royal lunch, with only six dishes, rice, and miso soup. Besides my uncle's family, there were only two maids in the restaurant, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

However, Emerald keenly observed that her third uncle, Milion, and her queen aunt, Yuki Amamiya, both seemed preoccupied, and their smiles towards her appeared somewhat forced.

Needless to say, my cousin, Amamiya Rin, had an expression even more melancholy than Lin Daiyu burying flowers. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had lost several more good friends.

Amelie wasn't in a hurry. She ate her meal normally while chatting with her third uncle's family about what she had gained from her trip.

She couldn't reveal what she actually did, but Amelie said that she followed her teacher to visit a senior from the Tianyun Empire, met a junior sister, underwent some trials, and ultimately gained something.

In short, he didn't tell a single lie, but he also didn't reveal a single word about what he actually did.

In the eyes of Milaine, who was also a fusion-stage mage, it was impossible to hide the fact that Emeryte had suddenly gained a powerful source of magic.

This shocked Milain quite a bit—she had only officially announced herself as a Fusion Mage last year, and this year she already had a second Fusion Organ? How could those Fusion Mages who hadn't obtained a second Fusion Organ in over a hundred years put their faces in that position?

However, amidst her shock, Milain's mind began to race—this niece is so capable, maybe she really can solve that problem too.

Emerald keenly sensed her uncle's thoughts through his changing expressions, and secretly chuckled to herself, knowing that the time was almost right.

Instead of directly asking the two elders, she used her cousin as a starting point, and immediately and affectionately moved closer to Amamiya Rin, wrapping her arm around her waist.

"What's wrong, my dear sister? Why are you so down? Did you get dumped by that jerk? Do you want me to comfort you? Or maybe I can punish that jerk and get revenge for you?"

Normally, Rin Amamiya should have rolled her eyes in disgust and pushed Emery's hand away from her waist.

This time, however, Rin didn't even lift her eyelids, showing no reaction to Emerald's actions, and continued to stare blankly at the rice in front of her.

"Uh……"

Emery, somewhat speechless, poked Rin Amamiya's cheek with her finger again:

"Little sister? Little sister, wake up! There's no pretty girl in the rice~~"

"...Only someone like you, sister, could associate a bowl of rice with a beautiful girl."

Rin Amamiya finally reacted, but lacked her usual liveliness. After a grumbling complaint, she weakly and gently pushed Emerald away.

"Don't do this, sister... I'm getting engaged soon, this isn't appropriate."

"??got engaged?"

Two question marks appeared above Emerald's head. She didn't let go of Rin Amamiya's arm, but looked at Milaine with a puzzled expression:

"Hey, Uncle Three? What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were going to kill all those blond-haired punks? How come Rin is getting engaged to someone else so soon?"

"This... sigh."

Milaine smiled awkwardly, then exchanged a glance with Tian Gongxue, and without further concealment, told them about the things that had been troubling them the most these past few days.

That was several days ago. At that time, Emery was still in seclusion, undergoing talent fusion and magical transformation of her second fused organ.

After being kidnapped once, Rin Amamiya finally realized the importance of martial arts and proposed to improve her combat skills through training.

This idea was reasonable, and no one would object. So, Yuki Amamiya arranged for a high priestess from the Amamiya Shrine to instruct Rin Amamiya in archery and magic.

To make it easier for Amamiya Rin to train at any time, the High Priestess gave her a magical artifact: a target she made herself that would automatically repair itself by absorbing spiritual energy each time it was destroyed.

Currently, Rin Amamiya's main training involves using a bow to fire explosive spiritual arrows, shattering the target given to her by the High Priestess.

Every afternoon after school, Rin Amamiya would take her archery target to a garden about 300 meters long and wide within the second ring road of Sakura City, practice archery for a while, and then return to the palace.

This garden was a place where Rin Amamiya and Ayahime Hoshino used to play together. Even though Ayahime Hoshino is dead now, Rin Amamiya still likes to come here for about half an hour every day after school.

Everyone understood her feelings, and no one said anything more. In addition, royal guards would be secretly protecting her.

But unexpectedly, something still happened a few days ago... Of course, it wasn't Rin Amamiya herself who was involved in the incident, and no matter how you investigate, the events of that day are somewhat strange.

According to Rin Amamiya herself, she went to the garden to practice archery as usual after school that day, only to find that someone had already set up the target for her.

She assumed it was done by the royal warriors who were secretly protecting her, and without thinking much, she drew her bow and shot a spiritual arrow, shattering the target.

But then screams erupted all around, and Amamiya Rin realized that there were still many onlookers around, and the target she had shot was not a target at all, but Sakurai Hideki, the eldest son of the Sakurai family, one of the three main families.

However, among others, including the royal samurai who secretly protected Rin Amamiya, there was a different version of events.

It's normal for young and beautiful Rin Amamiya who is unmarried to have eligible young men pursuing her.

Hideki Sakurai from the Sakurai family had the same idea, so he mustered up the courage to send a love letter to Rin Amamiya that day, and even brought along many friends to witness it—the people who were watching when the incident happened were all Hideki Sakurai's friends and classmates, of course, they came from another school, and were mostly boys.

It was no secret that Rin Amamiya practiced archery in that garden every day, so Hideki Sakurai waited there in advance, ready to deliver a love letter to Rin Amamiya.

Unexpectedly, when Rin Amamiya arrived, she didn't say a word, just drew her bow and shot an arrow, killing Hideki Sakurai in full view of everyone.

Even if Rin Amamiya is a princess and the first in line to become the next queen, it is not something that can be easily suppressed when she shoots a nobleman in front of everyone.

The royal family, Tengu Shrine, and the Sakurai family all investigated the incident afterward, but no matter how they investigated, the results were the same—Tengu Rin shot and killed Sakurai Hideki in public.

Of course, no one would ignore Rin Amamiya's own explanation, but everyone said that she was distraught after losing her friend and was somewhat dazed when she returned to the old place, so she made a mistake and made Hideki Sakurai, who was waiting to give her a love letter, her target.

It wasn't murder, but manslaughter.

Even if it's an accidental killing, it's still murder, and one must take responsibility.

Rin Amamiya is a princess and the heir to the throne, so it's impossible to really do anything to her. Therefore, the royal family needs to compensate the Sakurai family.

The condition proposed by the Sakurai family was that they wanted Rin Amamiya's marriage contract.

Moreover, the Sakurai family was very clever this time. The person they wanted to be engaged to Amamiya Rin was the victim Sakurai Hideki's younger sister, the eldest daughter of the Sakurai family, and also Amamiya Rin's classmate.

All the nobles of the Kingdom of Sakura are now awaiting the outcome of this matter. The engagement between the eldest daughter of the Sakurai family and Rin Amamiya is not unacceptable to the Queen's family; even Rin Amamiya herself doesn't dislike the eldest daughter of the Sakurai family. Although her relationship with the eldest daughter is not particularly close, they have been classmates for many years.

Rin Amamiya and the Queen and her husband were simply very unwilling, because...

"Clearly, this is a conspiracy by the Sakurai family. They are sacrificing their eldest son to secure Rin's engagement."

Ameliette succinctly revealed the essence of the matter.

Many people have actually noticed this, but so what?

There is no evidence to prove that the Sakurai family deliberately sacrificed Sakurai Hideki. At the very least, Sakurai Hideki's status as a victim is real, so the royal family must compensate the Sakurai family, otherwise all the nobles of the Upper Sakura Kingdom will feel disheartened.

It seems that Milain and the others still haven't found a better solution, and Rin Amamiya has even prepared to actually get engaged to the eldest daughter of the Sakurai family.

"The Sakurai family really spares no expense... To marry Rin, the eldest son just abandoned his wife without hesitation. That's quite decisive."

Emerald sighed again, then smiled and looked at Rin Amamiya beside her:

"My dear sister, you are indeed charming."

"Alright, Ellie, stop joking around."

Milain waved her hand dismissively:

"Why would the Sakurai family do this, Ellie? Can't you figure it out? It's because you and Rin were too close before. The three major families are worried that the next queen will also be snatched away by our Melson family, so they used this method to secure Rin's engagement first... In the end, it's all your fault for being such a jerk, Ellie!"

"...What's wrong with me being a little closer to my younger sister? Those idiots are really like people who were bitten by a snake once and are now afraid of ropes for ten years."

Emery's tone remained relaxed:

"But you're right, Uncle. I also bear some responsibility for what happened to Rin... so I'll help take care of it. Don't worry."

Case solved.

Amelie breathed a sigh of relief.

I knew the Divine Tree wouldn't help Macy break through to the Fusion stage for no reason. It was obviously meant to make Emerald owe a favor and help Rin Amamiya with her.

The Divine Tree is quite different from the Dao Ancestor. It is not as powerful as the Dao Ancestor, but it is not as cold and ruthless either. It truly protects its own, as evidenced by the old lich's previous account of being beaten and hunted down.

Now that Rin Amamiya has been framed, the Divine Tree will definitely want to help.

Is there anything that even the Divine Tree cannot do, yet Emerald can do, and that the Divine Tree knows about?

It really does.

When Emery first entered Sakura City, the Divine Tree saw through her identity as a necromancer and almost sent her flying out of the city.

"Little Ellie, can you handle this?"

Both Milaine and Amamiya Yuki perked up upon hearing this, and even the usually dejected Amamiya Rin's eyes lit up again, filled with anticipation as she looked at Emeryte.

"Little Ellie, what are you planning to do?"

Tian Gongxue thought for a moment and then said with some worry:
