Even though it was clear that people had good and bad qualities, Herrschers probably did too. But still, saying it out loud left a complex mix of emotions, a feeling too complicated to put into words.

"Old Adi, you're Young Lady's uncle. Tell me, is Elysia... suitable?"

"..."

Someone had asked the question.

Perhaps it was because of Kiana's status as the Herrscher of the End, or perhaps it was because of her extraordinary family background. Even these council members, when mentioning Kiana, had gradually started to refer to her as Young Lady.

Their intentions were quite clear.

If they were to send someone to the Herrscher of the End's side, to protect her, to ensure she didn't lose favor with humanity, and if possible, to increase it, to build various kinds of bonds...

Then!

Her future wife, Miss Elysia, might be a good choice.

It was a matter of going with the flow.

Elysia was, in any case, now part of Flame-Chasing Moth, representing them.

Moreover, someone had already considered Elysia before, investigated her, and vetted her. They found Elysia to be truly passionate and incredibly sincere, to an unbelievable degree.

If she weren't genuinely that pure...

Someone like that would definitely be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

But now!

Nothing was a problem anymore.

Wasn't it?

Even if it was offering a borrowed flower, it was still better than doing nothing.

"Let's just do it!"

Old Adi didn't speak.

One of Kiana's aunts made the decision.

Anyway, Kiana had always been secretly harboring a different sexual orientation, liking girls, it was just not that obvious.

Sending Elysia would be exactly to her liking.

Compared to getting married after the Great Honkai was over in the future.

Having them live together in advance now could be considered... changing the future?

It was a good thing!

"However, we still need to give Elysia a few words of advice beforehand."

"That's right, after this video ends, we'll go and do it."

"..."

They weren't asking Elysia to whisper in Kiana's ear or anything.

But, to extend goodwill and win Kiana over with it.

That was perfectly fine, wasn't it?

Whether it was useful or not.

At least, they could rest easy!

[In fact!]

[Our Young Lady of the End has many wives. Even if it's not explicitly stated in textbooks, we can easily discover that many beautiful women from the history we know were actually her wives.]

[She's actually quite passionate!]

[...]

[But now it's time for Miss Elysia. We'll talk about her other sisters later.]

[...]

While everyone was whispering amongst themselves in the real world.

The Sky Curtain continued.

PS1: Here's the second update. We'll continue tomorrow, keep up the good work~~

020. Perhaps unofficial history is the real truth~

[Actually, the Young Lady's passion is also recorded in official history.]

[The original photo is placed here!]

[A rough translation would be...]

[...]

[The Young Lady of the End favors beautiful young girls and dotes on younger girls. She accepts anyone, even if they are someone else's wife, but she doesn't force anyone.]

[...]

"Huh?"

The entire world was filled with question marks.

It was fine at first, but why did it feel increasingly off? Was this... history?

"Kiana..." On the balcony, Kiana's mother hesitated, then nodded as if in affirmation, looking at her daughter.

"You can't take someone else's wife."

Other than that, she felt nothing was wrong.

If it were her husband, Kiana's father, who had other wives, there would be no question – she'd break his legs.

But if it were her own daughter, Kiana, then it was fine. The more wives, the better.

This was probably something that most mothers would be happy to see, right?

Their own pig was finally ready to root for cabbage. Great, wonderful! Let it root, the more the better!

However.

Even though Miss Kiana was serious about self-deprecation.

The future Kiana was the future, and the current Kiana was the present. They were two different personas.

People change.

What did the future me being so affectionate have to do with the current me?

I don't have a wife right now.

So.

She thought for a moment, and to maintain her persona, she pretended to be troubled, sighing, "Then that's not me."

[But after Yuzu reviewed various materials, she discovered that official history stating the Young Lady was affectionate might not actually be the case.]

[...]

The chibi Vup on the screen once again presented several pieces of information.

They were all photos.

Some were from ancient texts, others from old footage. They were even distorted, making them difficult to restore.

The credibility instantly increased!

[Some unofficial histories say.]

[Actually, the Young Lady was very dull. It was always other girls who were attracted to my Young Lady's body and sought her out.]

[...]

[Other unofficial histories say.]

[Actually, the Young Lady was just a front. The true mastermind is my Elysia. Because Elysia loves girls, she loves them very much, so in order to get closer to more girls, she pulled those girls into the Young Lady's harem.]

[You thought those were the Young Lady's?]

[Wrong, they're Elysia's. Even the Young Lady is Elysia's. She's the one.]

[...]

[But I don't believe it!]

[...]

It could be seen.

Compared to the first video, Kiana was indeed more skilled.

Familiarity breeds contempt; she cited sources, described directly, used indirect descriptions, and employed various other techniques with ease.

Even the photographic and video materials looked genuine.

The workload was clearly greater than last time.

But the content was also much richer.

Many people around the world were watching with great interest.

This was all gossip!

Whether they believed it was true or not, as long as there was gossip to consume, they wouldn't be sleepy.

Unfortunately...

It wasn't that people couldn't understand.

If, according to the historical trajectory the Vup described.

After passing the Great Honkai, civilization did not disappear, but the Old Era was replaced by the New Era.

And then it surged towards becoming a spacefaring civilization.

In that case, videos with 1080P resolution would likely be ancient relics.

They probably don't use these things anymore, having long since adopted more advanced coding methods.

Even if the audience in the real world can't truly grasp this sense of antiquity, they can imagine it, they can picture it. They're just unwilling to admit that their own side is truly backward and ancient.

So, they'll just ignore the issue!

And at this moment.

Within the projection on the Sky Curtain, several videos had finished playing.

The Vup continued speaking.

[Regardless!]

[From this UP's perspective...]

[Elysia is undoubtedly one of the most special girls by the Young Lady's side.]

[She is Origin, inherently in dual opposition to the End, yet their opposition is also a unification—a destined fate.]

[...]

She spoke with great enthusiasm.

It was as if she were shipping a couple and was completely satisfied.

Just hearing her milky voice, one could feel it.

She knew how to stir the audience's emotions.

[According to a certain Miss Elysia, who wishes to remain anonymous.]

[Besides her, all other Herrschers are merely projections of the End, which, rounding up, makes them stand-ins for the Young Lady.]

[But the Herrscher of Origin alone is not like that.]

[She was born a Herrscher, a child nurtured by Honkai.]

[She descended from the heavens, the best gift Honkai bestowed upon the End, their fated wife.]
