Although Elashia initially felt quite strained seeing the carriage carried over by the knights, she now had to admit—this carriage was really comfortable to ride in!
At first there was a slight bumping sensation, like riding a train.
But then Elashia, as a seventh-level mage capable of using almost all basic magic, came up with an incredible solution.
She used basic levitation magic to make the carriage float!
Now the train-like sensation became like riding an airplane.
Even more comfortable than flying!
The carriage was quite large and quite clean.
After Elashia used the basic spell [Cleansing] to wash Chris clean, she sat directly in the carriage compartment below the seats.
The reason she didn't sit on the seats but below them wasn't for any other reason—it was because Chris was still sleeping, and Elashia couldn't find a pillow for her anywhere.
So in the end, Elashia simply decided to use her own legs as a pillow for Chris.
Cecilia finished deploying the return route and walked toward the carriage at Elashia's call.
"Your Majesty's magic is truly ingenious..."
Cecilia looked at the floating carriage and marveled.
However, before Cecilia's admiration was finished, she had just climbed onto the carriage when she saw a quite heartwarming scene that made her extremely displeased!
The white-haired big sister was sleeping with her eyes closed, pillowed on the pink-haired girl's slender jade legs, sleeping quite sweetly.
And the pink-haired girl was looking at her tenderly, placing her pale jade hand on her head to gently stroke, humming a soft song.
Get off Her Majesty's legs!
Seeing a flash of gold appear in her field of vision, Elashia stopped her previous actions.
The reason was simple.
The system notification had come.
[System Task Issued]
[Task One: Make a "shh" gesture to Cecilia—"Chris is still sleeping, remember to be quiet." Task Reward: Warrior level increases by three]
[Task Two: Talk with Cecilia about the training situation of the goblin countermeasure force while you were away—"How did the task I gave you go?" Task Reward: Black Magic Sword (Treasure)]
[Task Three: Express gratitude to Cecilia and tell her about Chris's previous experiences—"Thank you for being so thoughtful. As thanks, let me tell you about what I saw on my journey." Task Reward: Mage level increases by one]
Looking at the three task rewards, Elashia felt somewhat strange.
Tasks one and two looked quite normal.
Why would the rewards be so good?
Elashia knew very well that high task rewards always meant great danger behind them.
Fortunately, time was frozen when choosing tasks, so Elashia had plenty of time to think.
Why would such simple problems lead to such serious danger...
Thinking carefully, Elashia finally understood.
After all, she was a modern person who had read quite a few literary works.
Thinking again about how she had embraced Chris in front of Cecilia earlier, Elashia immediately realized—Cecilia was jealous!
Thinking that the iron-blooded knight from the game would be jealous over this matter, Elashia couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
However, although this matter could be big or small, when it involved Elasia's choices, it was better to be cautious.
"System, I choose task three."
[Okay]
Time began flowing again, and Elashia covered her mouth and chuckled softly:
"Cecilia, are you jealous?"
Hearing Elashia's words, Cecilia's pretty face instantly turned bright red.
"How would this subordinate dare."
Elashia stopped discussing this with Cecilia and changed the subject:
"This carriage is indeed comfortable to ride in, you really considered everything thoroughly."
"Thank you for being so thoughtful. As thanks, let me tell you about what I saw on my journey."
While gently stroking Chris's forehead, Elashia began telling Cecilia about Chris's story.
"Let me tell you..."
Through Elashia's narration, Cecilia finally understood roughly what had happened in this story.
"So this is her story..."
After hearing Elashia's description, Cecilia immediately felt unprecedented shame.
Seeing such a person who had experienced so much suffering lying in Her Majesty's embrace, she had actually felt jealous...
And Her Majesty had even noticed...
She really wasn't a good person...
Looking at Cecilia's flushed cheeks, Elashia smiled gently.
"Don't feel embarrassed, you didn't know her story before."
"I'm very happy that my knight is willing to be jealous for me."
Elashia's direct approach made Cecilia's pretty face even redder.
"Thank you... Your Majesty..."
Cecilia appeared somewhat stammering, looking extremely shy.
And Elashia just smiled gently, saying nothing more.
Being able to resolve the conflict between the two was also for the best.
In the game, "Elashia" had an extremely outrageous route that was called the "Succubus Route" by many players.
"Elashia" who joined the undead faction instead stood among the human battle lines and used her maxed-out [Charm] to attract [Human Heroes].
Then she would find ways to sow discord between the relationships of various human major powers.
Finally, everyone would compete jealously for "Elashia," leading to the [Human Heroes] directly fighting each other.
The current Elashia would never make such mistakes.
Whether between subordinates or between various human nations, Elashia would use all her strength to avoid friction and misunderstandings between them.
