Elashia just sat in the chair, watching the wall clock hanging on the wall.
Finally reaching nine o'clock sharp, as the alarm rang, the white-haired big sister on the bed also finally stirred awake leisurely.
Looking at the pink-haired girl sitting in the chair still wearing that mysterious smile, she remembered that she had seemed to agree to let her examine her body earlier...
But she had just collapsed and fallen asleep directly...
She quickly sat up.
"I'm truly sorry..."
Just as she was about to apologize to Elashia, she discovered that something seemed to have changed in her body.
"I..."
Chris immediately stood up.
Not only were all those incurable hidden injuries on her body gone, even the headaches from constantly working overtime and staying up late had instantly healed!
Looking at Elashia who wasn't speaking, just smiling and watching her, Chris immediately realized—how could an ordinary citizen possibly do something like this?
There weren't even many warriors capable of using [Qi] in combat in the city-state, let alone mages capable of using healing spells!
Combined with the state this pink-haired girl had been in when interacting with her earlier, Chris immediately confirmed it... she definitely wasn't from Yage City!
Looking at Elashia, Chris couldn't help but blurt out:
"Who exactly are you!?"
[System Task Issued]
[Task One: Play Dumb—"I'm just an ordinary citizen of Yage City." Task Reward: Black Magic Sword]
[Task Two: Tell a Little Lie—"I'm just a mage who came to visit Yage City as a tourist." Task Reward: Cursed Armor]
[Task Three: Time to Lay the Cards on the Table!—"I am Empress Elashia of the Elasia Empire, and I came here for no other purpose—only you!" Task Reward: Warrior level increases by one]
Looking at the three tasks, Elashia didn't even think and directly chose task three.
Since she had chosen to use [Dead Wood Comes to Life] on Chris, she had already prepared to lay her cards on the table.
After all, she wasn't a fool—there wouldn't be any mages capable of using spells in the city-state.
Facing Chris's somewhat wary gaze, Elashia just smiled mysteriously and said:
"I come from a foreign country, I'm a habitual thief, and I came to Yage City to steal a treasure."
Chris looked at her, not even sitting up.
Actually, she didn't feel that the girl before her had any bad intentions at all.
And she immediately understood that the "habitual thief" and "treasure" mentioned by the girl before her definitely weren't literal meanings.
"What do you want?"
Elashia smiled mysteriously again.
"I want—a person, and her true heart."
Chris was somewhat speechless.
Riddle people get out of Yage City!
Looking at the white-haired big sister's speechless expression, Elashia simply stopped pretending.
"Alright, I'll tell you. I am Empress Elashia of the Elasia Empire. I came to this Yage City just to poach you away from here, with no other purpose."
"However, I won't use any means to force you, and I'll help you when you need it."
Immediately after, Elashia added:
"By the way, I didn't participate in the activities that framed you earlier. I just knew you were framed and felt this was a very good opportunity, so I came."
Looking at Elashia, Chris wasn't angry at all.
After all, she had just healed her.
Knowing that the girl before her was a foreigner, she actually felt reassured.
After all, she didn't need to act according to her previous codes as a consul in front of a foreigner.
Just as she was about to say something to Elashia to express her refusal, the next words from the pink-haired girl before her made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave!
"However, my dear Consul, I must tell you that in just ten minutes, Bal City's army is going to launch a surprise attack on the completely unprepared Yage City~"
