Chapter 225

Where is Avril?

She asked, puzzled.

Normally, it should be Avril who notifies her.

"Avril has already gone to the conference hall. She asked me to inform you."

"Oh?"

Elvian thought about it and agreed. Everyone felt awkward in the situation yesterday, so it was best not to spend time alone together for a while.

"I hope today goes smoothly..." Elvian silently prayed before walking towards the conference hall.

When she arrived, Jonathan was still guarding the door. She paused just as she was about to go in, and for some reason, she thought of what had happened at the Leicester Hotel the night before.

'Avril' and Ryan are inside... No, Elvian, what are you thinking? This is a conference hall, not a hotel!

She shook her head, told the guards to open the door, and then went inside.

Jonathan, who witnessed the whole thing, stroked his chin and muttered thoughtfully, "How come this woman changes every day? Now she has no murderous intent at all. Could it be that she has been conquered by Ryan? Oh Sun God, this is unbelievable."

In the hall, Ryan was revising the new contract.

Upon seeing Elvian enter, he stopped writing and smiled, "Your Queen, did you not sleep well last night? You don't look very energetic. Were you secretly doing something all by yourself?"

Elvian's carefully maintained composure nearly crumbled. Instead of answering, she looked at 'Avril' standing by the table, waiting. Their eyes met, and she quickly looked away.

"I was busy with official business last night and rested a little... a little late. Ryan, about the contract..."

"Yes, I've already spoken with Miss Avril. Take a look, and if there are no problems, sign it as soon as possible."

Judging from Ryan's experience, Elvian must have done something very 'proper'.

So what if she's Queen? Queen is still a woman. Everyone follows their own desires.

However, most of the time desires are forcibly suppressed. As long as there is a chance to be amplified, the desires in one's heart will be like a boulder rolling down a mountain, unstoppable.

Essentially, desire is a catalyst for satisfaction, but this satisfaction is often criticized in the eyes of the public's moral conscience... Alas, vulgar people don't understand the beauty of human nature.

Huh? How come I suddenly have such insight into desire? Damn God of Desire!

"Have you already reached an agreement?"

Elvian took the contract with a puzzled look and then looked at it, a look of surprise appearing in her eyes.

1012283098

It's not because the contract was too harsh, but because it was too good; it was completely different from the one from the day before yesterday.

It's like jumping from a fourth-class citizen to a second-class citizen in one fell swoop!

Without comparison, there is no harm. After reading the previous contract, Elvian felt that things were already pretty good as they were.

"Sign!"

She did not hesitate.

"Look more closely," Ryan said. "Friendly reminder, there's a rule that once the reconciliation is reached, you must stay in Silvermoon City and, unless there are special circumstances, cannot return to Wildea. You know what that means, right?"

Elvian, "Don't worry, I have already appointed Avril as acting king. From now on, she will be the new Queen of Wildeia."

"Really!" Ryan's eyes lit up. "Avril, I'm truly sincere towards you. How about I go back and discuss it with the Empress, and change my marriage proposal to you?"

Elvian: "???"

"No need, Ryan." Avril shook her head. "It's over between you and me. I will never betray Wildea."

Elvian smiled with satisfaction. She looked at Ryan and said proudly, "Ryan, you have indeed defeated me, and I have nothing to say about that. But the King of Wildea will never yield, and Avril will never yield to you. Perhaps one day in the future, the Moon Goddess's grace will fall again, and Wildea will rise again."

"Oh oh oh~ Praise be to the moon goddess, Wildea is awesome, long live Wildea!" Ryan shouted.

Elvian: "..."

"Alright, let's end the topic of dreams here. It's time to sign the contract. What a pity, Avril. You've missed a chance to rise to the top. From now on, you can just hold your throne and cry in Wildea."

The signing of the contract went smoothly.

In fact, Elvian couldn't wait to get Ryan to sign the papers.

By signing a contract in the name of order, the contents of the contract come into effect.

Seeing the power of order emerging from the contract, Ryan really wanted to burst out laughing three times... Oh no, he couldn't hold back his laughter. He couldn't laugh in front of Elvian. What a heartless bastard!

"Phew~ all done." Ryan didn't laugh, but Elvian smiled—a relieved smile. "Ryan, when are you going back to Augustus?"

"Let's set off this afternoon for Silvermoon City."

"So soon? That's fine, I'll make the arrangements. Let me know before you leave."

Happiness came too suddenly, Elvian felt a little dizzy. After Ryan left, she came to her senses and stared at the door, saying in a low voice, "Avril, Ryan agreed so quickly. I'm afraid he has some other tricks up his sleeve. After I leave, keep an eye on things and ask Teacher Alfred if you have any questions. He is the wisest person in Wildea. With him around, you don't have to worry about anything."

Alfred, the royal advisor, was a perfect strategist. If she had listened to his advice, the situation might have been completely different.

'Avril' said, ' Ryan probably just doesn't want to drag this out any longer. It seems there's been a war going on in the Western Territory of the Augustus Empire, and winter is already here.'

"Oh? Indeed, winter is here." Elvian nodded. "In any case, remember what I just said. As for Duke Nock, he is a very capable man. You can continue to use him and let him do some diplomatic work, but be careful not to give him too much trust and don't gamble on anything about his character."

"And the Moonlight Knight Order..."

Because of the time constraints, Elvian could only explain some important matters as much as possible, and the rest could be dealt with slowly through the relics later.

Just as Ryan was preparing to return to Silvermoon City, Motis, the capital of the Northern Federation, received an urgent report from the border.

The Arcadia Empire's army crossed the border and officially launched a military operation against the Northern Federation!

Suddenly, the situation at the entire federal border became extremely tense.

Motis has already dispatched 30,000 federal troops to the border. Countless federal citizens are filled with worry and emotion. They had just dealt with the threat from Wildea, and the Augustus Empire was still eyeing them covetously, but now the most powerful empire on the Eastern Continent has already attacked.

Even tribulation shouldn't be like this, right?

However, with the Gate of Janus in place, the people of the Northern Federation still had some confidence, after all, the war hadn't officially started yet.

People should be optimistic.

On the other side.

Outside the towering castle in Arcadia's Imperial Capital stands a colossal statue of the Earth Goddess.

Inside the castle palace, guards clad in golden armor stood in neat rows, exuding an aura of solemnity and menace.

"... Your Majesty! Although the Northern Federation has only been established for a short time, now that Wildea has been defeated, all the former member states have defected to them. The current Northern Federation is more united than the Northern Coalition, and with the secret assistance of the Gate of Janus, the situation is still unclear. Sending troops now would be far too risky!"

A minister dressed in noble attire spoke loudly.

"Duke Mor is right. Even if we are to send troops, it would be best to spend more time preparing. In addition, we need to consider the situation of the Augustus Empire. They have just conquered Wildea and their morale is high. We cannot rule out the possibility that they will send troops to the Northern Federation," said another person wearing armor.

"Perhaps we could consider sending someone to the Augustus Empire to make contact? If they agree to share the Northern Federation together, then we won't have to worry about anything anymore."

"That's unlikely. The Augustus Empire probably prefers to place the Northern Federation in the middle as a buffer zone. They would like to see the Northern Federation damaged, but they certainly don't want to see it destroyed, unless it is destroyed by them."

"..."

"..."

The main hall was noisy.

At this moment, the blonde girl sitting on the throne yawned and said lazily, "Have you had enough? Do you think this is a marketplace? Do you expect me to say one thing and you to say ten?"

Everyone lowered their heads and fell silent.

"I have made up my mind to attack the Northern Federation. We'll find out what the Northern Federation is really like after we fight them. At the very least, taking a few cities won't be a loss. The scenery of the Northern Continent is quite nice; I've wanted to see it for a long time."

"Your Majesty, according to the latest intelligence, Empress Motis has dispatched 30,000 Federation troops to the border, while we only have 10,000..."

"One thousand against thirty thousand, isn't that an advantage for us? Even if the Watchers don't intervene, that's enough."

"But..."

"Hmm?" The young woman glanced at him indifferently. "Duke Mor, are you questioning my decision?"

"No... I wouldn't dare..."

"Then you may leave. I am tired. We can talk about it tomorrow."

The girl waved her hand, dismissing everyone.

After a while, she turned to look at the side of the throne and said with dissatisfaction, "Kachina, I told you not to do that kind of thing while I'm in a meeting. I feel very uncomfortable sitting here."

"Well, it's your turn to be emperor this month, Kachia! Next time, you can be emperor too... hehe~"

A silver-haired girl emerged from a passageway to one side of the throne.

If you look closely at the two women, you'll find that not only are their body types similar, but their appearances are also extremely alike.

One has blonde hair, the other has silver hair; one is serious, the other is playful.

"I'm not like you, who doesn't care about anything."

"What's going on? Is it the Spirit of Chaos causing trouble again? Or is it a problem with the Northern Federation?"

"Yes, they are Gate of Janus is keeping an eye on things. It's said that news about the witch has surfaced this time."

"Oh, witch, what does it taste like?"

"Get serious," Kachia helplessly. "Empathy and all that is such a hassle. Almighty Mother Earth, whatever you want, please just remove this ability from my life!"

"No, Kachia, this is our most important bond." The silver-haired Kachina walked to the throne, wrapped her arms around Kachia's neck, and smiled slightly. "As long as Kachia is here, Kachina can do anything. Only with Kachina is Kachia complete... After all, we are symbiotic twins~"

I've revised it so many times, it shouldn't be taken down by the review again, right? My head hurts. I've almost reached 10,000 views today. Brothers, give me some monthly votes, I'm dropping again!

The original text was a bit explicit, so I've made some revisions. Please, dear reviewer, approve it!

Chapter 143 Queen, New Character 'Witch' [1w1]

The military operations of the Arcadia Empire quickly attracted the attention of various forces in the Northern Continent.

Of course, the forces that all these parties eventually converged on Ryan's side.

Whether it's Augustus, the Northern Federation, or the Gate of Janus, the referees and players are all Ryan's people, so how could they lose?... However, the situation in the Eastern Continent is indeed not under his jurisdiction.

Here, here's what you wanted.

On the train back to Silvermoon City, Jonathan handed the information he had just obtained to Ryan.

Why are you suddenly interested in the Arcadia Empire?

"Isn't this an invasion by them?"

"You're interested in fighting the Northern Federation?"

"That's called being prepared for a rainy day."

Jonathan shrugged, took out a cigarette, and walked out of the carriage. He had no interest in this kind of war; to put it bluntly, he wasn't good at it. He didn't want to meddle or worry about things that weren't his business. He'd rather do his own job well.

Ryan flipped through the documents in his hand.

Because of the short timeframe and the minimal infiltration of the Burning Covenant into Arcadia, the information gathered was very superficial.

"The nation of the Earth Goddess's faith... Oh, I remember now, the Watcher Legion, a representative force of the Arcadia Empire, is quite famous in the game."

Veldria is not the first country to combine Supernatural Being with an army; it has been done elsewhere. The most representative example in the Eastern Continent is the 'Earth Watcher.' Regardless of how powerful they are, the fact that the Arcadia Empire's starting option was included in the DLC and required payment speaks volumes.

Those who spend money are definitely stronger!

Indeed, compared to the conventional Augustus or Wilderness start, choosing to start with the Arcadia Empire is much smoother. Not only can you experience the bizarre empathy storyline of the Twin Stars, but Arcadia is also far superior to the other two in terms of both military and internal conditions.

"Earth Watcher... is that a profession attainable through the Earth Empress's Faith Path? Speaking of which, what exactly is this thing..."

Ryan racked his brains for a long time, but couldn't recall any information about the Earth Watcher.

After all, the materials he studied were mostly about how to become a high-quality eroge player, and he didn't really care about information that was irrelevant to the main plot.

"Um?"

Just then, Ryan noticed a figure standing beside him.

It's Elvian.

"Information about the Arcadia Empire?"
