"You're not thinking of using some means to threaten the Sakurai family into giving up, are you? That probably won't work. Threatening one Sakurai family isn't difficult, but if you discourage the nobles... that would be a problem."
"Don't worry, Auntie, do I look like such a stupid person?"
Amelie chuckled and wagged her finger:
"Actually, the solution is quite simple... It doesn't matter what the truth of this matter is, the key is that Rin really did kill someone in front of everyone, right? So if there is no victim, then there's no point in talking about compensation, right?"
Chapter 273 Business's done, time to go home!
Princess Rin Amamiya's accidental killing of Hideki Sakurai of the Sakurai family has been the most pressing concern for the nobles of Kamisakura Kingdom these days.
Everyone wanted to know if the royal family would compromise and allow Rin Amamiya to get engaged to the eldest daughter of the Sakurai family.
If not, how will the royal family compensate the Sakurai family?
Although Rin Amamiya is a princess of the Kingdom of Sakura, Hideki Sakurai is also the eldest son of the three royal families. He is not a commoner or a slave, so you can't just kill him like that, can you?
If the solution ultimately offered by the royal family fails to win over the public, it will undoubtedly discourage other nobles and inevitably lead to a decline in their prestige.
After waiting anxiously for more than 10 days, Queen Tian Gongxue finally officially announced the solution to this problem.
To everyone's surprise, she decided to bring the already deceased Hideki Sakurai back to life.
If there are no victims, there are naturally no perpetrators, and no compensation is needed.
This result shocked everyone who was following the matter and piqued their curiosity.
High-level spells that can bring the dead back to life certainly exist in the Kingdom of Sakura, and many of the high priestesses at the Tengu Shrine possess them.
However, this resurrection technique also has great limitations, such as the soul not being able to dissipate, the physical body being relatively intact, and the time of death not exceeding 3 hours, etc.
At the time Sakurai Hideki was shot, someone immediately called the head priestess of Tengu Shrine to the scene to rescue him.
Unfortunately, just like old man Langdon who was shot to death by Mengmeng, Sakurai Hideki's soul was also shattered in the explosion of Amamiya Rin's spiritual arrow. Moreover, Sakurai Hideki did not have the necromancy that Amamiya had set up in advance to protect him. He was truly dead without a complete body and his soul was scattered.
How can you revive someone in this situation?
Amamiya Yuki's public statement was that Emeryte had a way to do it; the sacred magic blessed by the goddess could summon the souls of the dead from the underworld and bring them back to life.
Considering the divine magic Emerald displayed when she saved Rin Amamiya during her live stream, and the saintly image she established in the Federation, quite a few people actually have high expectations for her.
This led almost everyone, except for the Sakurai family with their own complicated thoughts, to expect Emerald to perform a great resurrection spell on Sakurai Hideki.
. . . . .
Amelie was confident in her abilities, but not blindly arrogant.
She wouldn't wait until it was time to publicly announce Hideki Sakurai's resurrection before attempting to do so; instead, she began preparations the moment she took on the task.
First, of course, they dug up Hideki Sakurai's body parts from the grave for examination.
The Sakurai family was initially unwilling, but Amamiya Yuki immediately put pressure on them.
You keep demanding that I compensate you for your dead son, but now that you have the chance to bring him back to life, you refuse. What are your true intentions?
Given Amamiya Yuki's attitude, the Sakurai family naturally had no choice but to cooperate.
Emerald first examined Sakurai Hideki's body parts. As expected, Sakurai Hideki was dead beyond any doubt. His body had been blown into hundreds of pieces, and his soul was completely gone.
In this situation, let alone repairing the soul, even repairing the shattered body would be impossible for most healers.
However, this step was very easy for Emerald.
For example, Marcy, who has just broken through to become a Fusion stage mage, only needs a drop of Vitality Flame Essence to completely repair Sakurai Hideki's corpse.
Of course, Emerald would never give the essence of the Flame of Life produced by her maid to anyone else, and the Flame of Life can only repair the physical body, it is powerless to heal the soul.
Even Emerald couldn't repair Sakurai Hideki's soul. Not to mention her, even if you brought Red to help, it wouldn't make a difference, because Sakurai Hideki's soul was completely gone. This was the real problem in reviving Sakurai Hideki, and even the Divine Tree was powerless to help.
Fortunately, Emery had other options.
After examining Hideki Sakurai's body parts, Emerald ordered all the maids and priestesses sent by Yuki Amamiya to help her to set out, with two main tasks.
First, we visited Sakurai Hideki's relatives and friends, asking them to recall as much as possible his personality, speaking habits, and behavioral habits, and then recorded them in detail.
Secondly, we should ask the Sakurai family for Hideki Sakurai's belongings, mainly his various articles and paintings, and of course, his private diary would be even better.
Although the Sakurai family planned to sacrifice Sakurai Hideki in order to secure the next prince, Sakurai Hideki also had true friends and family.
After learning that Hideki Sakurai might be able to be resurrected, some of his friends and his biological mother secretly cooperated with Emerald, providing all the necessary assistance.
Soon, Emerald had collected a large amount of information about Hideki Sakurai, and she fed all of this information to Suzuran, asking her to create a virtual AI personality that could mimic Hideki Sakurai as closely as possible.
This was not difficult for Suzuran. When old man Langdon used cubs for experiments, all the human cubs that had died as test subjects were actually impersonated by Suzuran using virtual AI personalities. Even a professional investigator like Mengmeng had to go in and out several times before finally discovering the flaws.
Creating a virtual AI personality for Hideki Sakurai would be a good fit for Suzuran's expertise and a return to her old profession.
And so, the day arrived when Emerald would publicly revive Hideki Sakurai.
. . . . .
Hideki Sakurai's resurrection ceremony was held at the Tengu Shrine.
Emerald didn't care about this at all. She had already reached an agreement with the Divine Tree. The reward for helping to resolve this matter was to let Marcy break through to the Fusion stage. The Divine Tree had already paid in advance.
The curiosity of the nobles of Shangying Kingdom had been burning for a long time, so almost everyone who was qualified to see the scene came. In the end, there were more people present than those who attended the royal banquet. Even many commoners of Shangying Kingdom who were not qualified to enter the shrine listened to the sounds outside the shrine and waited for the results.
When the appointed time arrived, even though it was completely unnecessary, Emerald immediately changed into the Heavenly Wing Saintess outfit to make herself look surrounded by holy light and shimmering gold.
Then, Emerald had the priestesses bring four wooden boxes, which were opened one by one. Inside each box were pieces of Sakurai Hideki's body.
Many ladies and young women who were seeing such a bloody scene for the first time covered their mouths, while the men were mostly excited and curious about how these body parts would come back to life.
Amelie didn't keep everyone waiting long.
She first activated her divine magic, releasing a large amount of dazzling holy light. Its intensity was so great that even the Dao Enlightenment stage experts in the crowd had to look away slightly, as looking directly at the light source would cause their eyes to hurt.
Seeing that her purpose of concealment had been achieved, Amelie's lips curled into a slight smile, and she pointed at the body parts in a holy and ethereal voice:
"To restore his health!"
It looks like some kind of high-level holy spell of the law, but it's actually not a spell at all; it's just a deceptive action.
While almost everyone was blinded by the dazzling holy light released by the Heavenly Wing Saintess, Emerald secretly switched her own magic power to necromancy and used the Flesh and Bone Transformation Technique on the remains of Sakurai Hideki.
She was reluctant to give Masie's essence of life flame to Sakurai Hideki. Since she didn't really intend to revive Sakurai Hideki anyway, why not just make him into a ghost that was almost identical to a living person?
Under Amelie's spell, the body parts quickly dissolved into basic flesh and blood, and then reassembled, like a 3D model, to form a complete Hideki Sakurai.
With this, Hideki Sakurai's body was considered fully repaired, and the next step was to implant his soul.
Emerald rubbed her two fingers together again, and Hideki Sakurai's head opened to the left and right like some kind of machine, revealing his brain.
Then, with a thought, Emery used her magic to remove Hideki Sakurai's brain and replace it with an ordinary little white flower. Finally, she closed Hideki Sakurai's head.

As Suzuran displays the mission log on Emerald's monocle via AR images, the virtual AI personality is successfully activated, and Emerald also removes the necromancy from Hideki Sakurai's control.
To minimize the risk of exposure, at Emerald's request, Hideki Sakurai's virtual AI personality is unaware that it is actually fake; he believes he is truly Hideki Sakurai.
"He's alive? He's really alive? Holy crap..."
As Hideki Sakurai opened his bewildered eyes and embraced his crying mother, the crowd first whispered in disbelief, then erupted into deafening cheers, and their gazes toward Emerald changed.
This is someone who was blown to pieces and whose soul was scattered... If this person can be resurrected, then what kind of person can't this young lady resurrect?
Many people naturally started to have some ideas, preparing to find an opportunity to have a good business talk with this saintly young lady from across the sea.
Before these people could take any action, several old men from the Sakurai family jumped out and questioned Emerald's achievements. They believed that Hideki Sakurai had not been resurrected and that the current Hideki Sakurai was just some kind of smokescreen by Emerald.
Amelie didn't bother arguing with these people and just unleashed her ultimate move.
"This is the Heavenly Shrine, under the watchful eye of the Divine Tree. How could I dare to lie in front of the Divine Tree?"
Amelie kicked the ball directly to the Divine Tree, and immediately sensed a speechless response from the Divine Tree.
Sakurai Hideki and Emery did act very convincingly, but it was impossible to hide it from the much stronger Shinju, who also knew she was a necromancer.
Not only the divine tree, but even several Dao Enlightenment stage experts among the surrounding nobles looked at the resurrected Sakurai Hideki with suspicion in their eyes, probably sensing that something was wrong and searching for flaws.
Fortunately, just as Amelie had predicted, the Divine Tree was extremely biased and protective of its own.
He loves every citizen of Shangying Kingdom, but he loves the bloodline of the Tiangong family even more.
Therefore, the Divine Tree clearly revealed its will, acknowledging Emerald's achievements and recognizing that the resurrected Sakurai Hideki is the real Sakurai Hideki.
Those Dao Enlightenment stage experts who had previously harbored some doubts about Emerald immediately dispelled all their suspicions. Even the stubborn old men of the Sakurai family with ulterior motives could only tremble and remain silent.
In the Kingdom of Shangying, there might be people who dare to question the rule of the Tengu family, but absolutely no one would question the Divine Tree.
Whatever the divine tree says is the truth, is the truth, whether it is or not.
All doubts vanished. Regardless of what Emeryte resurrected, from this moment on, he was the real Hideki Sakurai.
Of course, virtual AI personalities are ultimately different from real people, and those closest to Hideki Sakurai will eventually discover the flaws.
Therefore, Emery plugged the loophole first:
"As you all know, Mr. Sakurai's soul had previously gone to the underworld, and I was able to bring him back with the help of a goddess. So although Mr. Sakurai has been resurrected, his soul, now tainted with the aura of the underworld, will inevitably be somewhat different from before..."
Using this reason, Emery pointed out all the potential weaknesses that Hideki Sakurai might reveal in advance.
For example, one's personality may change slightly compared to before, one may carry a trace of death aura, one may be accidentally injured by magical artifacts or spells with exorcising effects, and so on.
Hideki Sakurai's family and friends remembered all of this and sincerely thanked Emerald.
Thus, the matter of Rin Amamiya accidentally killing Hideki Sakurai is considered over... Now that the victim has been resurrected, Rin Amamiya certainly no longer needs to be engaged to the eldest daughter of the Sakurai family; at most, the royal family can provide the Sakurai family with some financial compensation.
"Hey, wait."
But Emery didn't want it to end like this.
She suddenly discarded her saintly attire and wings, adopting the demeanor of a spoiled young lady, hands on her hips, and arrogantly addressed the Sakurai family:
"You don't actually think that reviving someone is so easy, do you? I put in a lot of effort to do this... Shouldn't you settle the medical bills?"
Medical expenses?
The Sakurai family members were speechless.
You actually want medical expenses? Wasn't it your cousin who killed him? Isn't it your duty to treat the victim?
However, regardless of what methods Emery used, her act of bringing Hideki Sakurai back to life was shocking and awe-inspiring in itself.
At least the Sakurai family members, after some hesitation, felt that it was not worth offending someone like Emerald over such a trivial matter.
"Then, young lady, how much would you like for your medical expenses?"
The Sakurai family chose to compromise.
"You guys aren't planning to pay the bill with money, are you?"
Emerald suddenly showed a look of disgust:
"Do you think I'm short of money? Is this all the prestigious three families have?"
"you……"
One of the old men from the Sakurai family was furious, his face turning red with anger. He wanted to give Emerald a good scolding, but another quick-thinking old man covered his mouth and pulled him away.
Meanwhile, Hideki Sakurai's father, the current head of the Sakurai family, wore a helpless and troubled expression:
"What would you like, young lady?"
"What else could I possibly want? Of course, it's to enjoy romantic moments with a beautiful woman!"
Emerald's voice suddenly became flirtatious, and then with a flash of golden light, she appeared directly next to a beautiful girl in the Sakurai family's group, reaching out to pull her into her arms:
"You must be Sakurai Ayaka, the eldest daughter of the Sakurai family, right? You'll be paying for your brother's medical bills tonight... You wanted to pursue my sister, didn't you? Well, let me, the older sister, test whether you're qualified."
After saying that, Emerald ignored the stunned onlookers and forcibly picked up Sakurai Ayaka in a princess carry, then flew away.
"This little Ellie... still loves to cause trouble."
After a very strange silence, it was Milain who broke it.
He kept apologizing to the Sakurai family for being too naughty, but the joy in his eyes was completely undisguised.
The other nobles of Shangying Kingdom, having regained their senses, quickly began whispering among themselves, with many even gloating and mocking the Sakurai family for losing both their wife and their army.
