"Hah...... Is it over?"
Sitting on the ground, Estelle gasped as she looked back at the palace area where she was, which had been destroyed and shattered by the battle between the two of them, and the only good thing was that they had only fought fiercely in this small area, and not the rest of the world.

The flood had just receded, the Sea Clan warriors had almost been wiped out, and now even the masterminds behind the scenes had fled under the "encirclement", and it stands to reason that the incident should have been resolved.
But, is it really over?
"It's not that you repelled me, but I chose to let you go, remember. ”
"Our fight is not over yet, we will have a chance to see you again later. ”
"When the time comes, I will definitely kill you and prove that my existence is worthwhile. ”
Ling's words still lingered in Estelle's ears, like a fog, unable to break free or see.
No, the incident is not over, and the battle is not over, it is only temporarily stopped. Later, I'll have to break up with her.
The only certainty is this conclusion.
"But then again...... Seeing that the matter was almost over, Wang Xiaoming squatted beside Estelle and carefully examined her face, "Are you really Curris?"
Ji Ya and Gnavier on the side couldn't help but sigh that Wang Xiaoming's "acting skills" were really perfect. This result was obviously created by Wang Xiaoming, but he was able to show such "ignorance".
The strife in the capital has come to an end for the time being, and Estell, who has barely relaxed physically and mentally, looked at Wang Xiaoming with a speechless and wry smile, and said, "Heh... Yes, all of them. I'm lucky to have a life back, and I don't care what I look like now. I don't know what's going on physically, but I'm Estelle now, and I'm going to be in the future. ”
Wang Xiaoming nodded, "You don't mind." ”
Different people seem to have different attitudes towards being motherized.
Estelle lay on the ground and said, "It's good to be alive, is there a difference between a man and a woman......? Though...... Still failed to save His Majesty the Emperor. With that, the girl sighed.
Hearing this, Ji Ya and Nanami Lucia, at the moment when Istelle didn't notice, their faces changed subtly.
"Didn't stop it...... Is it?" Wang Xiaoming put on a solemn posture and said in confirmation.
Estelle closed her eyes, acquiescing.
Emperor Picca, death confirmed.
"It seems that the situation is getting tricky. ”
Wang Xiaoming thought about it in his heart and pulled Estelle up from the ground.
"Don't lie down, there's a lot of work to be done. ”
"Shouldn't you take a moment to accept that I'm becoming a woman?"
Of course, this is just lip service. Estelle still understands Wang Xiaoming's personality better, he doesn't need time to adapt to it at all, on the contrary, he may be happy to accept it. Moreover, she also needs Wang Xiaoming to push her up without any scruples and continue to face the remaining mess that has not been dealt with.
Wang Xiaoming smiled.
"If you have this time to accept it, you might as well think about how to calm down the current chaos in your country. ”
The points that need to be removed have been taken out, and all that remains is to calm the situation.
"Yes, hurry up and calm the mess. ”
Estelle patted her face and pressed against the wound, looking resolute and cheering herself up.
Your Majesty is gone, but we are still there.
......
In the following period, the settlement of Hoh Xili went very smoothly, and after the flood was completely drained and it was confirmed that there were no remnants of the Sea Clan in the city (ignoring the Lucia of the Seven Seas, which was secretly protected by Himea), the city authorities began to rebuild the capital. Of course, the reconstruction project itself was also strongly supported by the central royal family, especially Bilica herself.
On the other hand, Emperor Picca's body was secretly housed in the palace and his death was not announced, and this information was kept closely guarded by the ministers and generals. At a critical time when there are still two rebellions and wars in the country, once the news of His Majesty the Emperor's "death" is publicized, it will deal a devastating blow to people's morale.
Another important person, Latslitt Ward, disappeared after the incident, and no one knows the whereabouts of the Sage. In this regard, the propaganda agencies under the central government can only use the conclusion that the sage is tracking the "mastermind behind the scenes" who is on the run, and temporarily stabilize public opinion in the capital.
However, this is not the way to do it after all. Once the time drags on, people will inevitably notice that something is wrong, and people's hearts will be confused because of this. As for the disappearance of the real seal in the palace, no one cares about it anymore in the current chaos of the empire.
The top priority at the moment is to put down the two rebellions in the shortest possible time.
In the past few days, the ministers and generals in the court have been discussing fiercely about how to finish the two wars in the southeast and northwest in the shortest possible time, and in a victorious manner.
The forces of the Sea Clan that began to come ashore in the southeast and the large noble group led by Duke Genk in the northwest.
In the "absence" of His Majesty the Emperor and the Sage.
No one is sure.
Except for Estelle.
"I have a way to calm the chaos in the country!"
Only a maiden could be sure and confident that the two wars would end, so in court councils Estelle often argued with her ministers.
The first point of contention is Estelle's identity, no one would trust a stranger she had never met, even if she protected Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Ciri Empire, even if the Investigator Curris also disappeared in the incident. And in the face of the ministers' doubts, compared to the unconditional support of Bilica and Chito Isuzu, the girl just revealed some "code words", which made these ministers completely silent.
After all, only Curris, an imperial investigator who belonged to Emperor Picca, could know those "code words". The "code word" is only known to Curis, and Curis is gone, but the stranger Estil suddenly appears, and Bilica and Chito Isuzu support unconditionally, and it is with this logic that the girl has gained the initial trust of the ministers.
Of course, Estelle's long stick also provided a lot of "help".
The argument shifts to the solution.
At the meeting, regarding the response of the Sea Clan's forces, Estelle recommended Ji Ya, who was traveling with her.
The solution is actually very simple, that is, peace negotiation. It's not that no one has thought of making peace with the Sea Clan, it's just that the empire and the Sea Clan have been in dispute for many years, and there is no suitable candidate for the meeting in everyone's hearts. Since Estelle took the initiative to recommend the eloquent Kia, and Kia took the opportunity to introduce the situation of Lucia Nanami, the solution to the situation in the southeast was decided: send Kia to envoy the forces of the Sea Clan, and Lucia of the Seven Seas as the guide of the Sea Clan. At the same time, the imperial troops deployed in the southeast remained motionless and waited for the results of Ji Ya's mission.
The three parties have their own needs for peace talks. In Ji Ya's view, this is her personal two-way co-optation of the Xili Empire and the forces of the Sea Clan, paving the way for the future, and for Lucia of the Seven Seas, it is to fight for the interests of her compatriots in the Sea Clan through peaceful means. For the Empire, it was to provide valuable time for the end of the Northwest Battlefield and to ease relations with the Sea Clan.
Therefore, the deliberations of the southeast battlefield hit it off.
As for the Northwest Theater --
"It's enough for me to go alone. ”
At the meeting, Estelle said this in a very decisive tone.
......
In the month following the attack on the capital city of Hoh Xili, the situation in the empire took a huge turn, beyond the expectations of people in China, and also aroused heated discussions among many observers on the next continent, and newspapers and publications on the situation of the Xili Empire were sought after by the people of all countries on a regular basis. Everyone has a variety of destinations to follow the events on this "small continent" in the southwest.
First of all, in the southeast direction, the empire sent envoys to start peace negotiations with the sea tribe who gradually conquered the city after going ashore, and many people originally thought that this was just a reinforcement plan from the empire, and the sea tribe side would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. However, something miraculous happened: the Sea Clan really stopped attacking. As with the armies sent by the Empire, both sides stood still. Even the Sea Clan sent an envoy to Hoh Xili.
The Cili Empire here is almost equivalent to victory without a fight.
Everyone was puzzled, and all kinds of conspiracy theories emerged, and finally locked on the emissaries sent by the Empire. The only information that people know about the emissary is that the emissary's name is Ji A, and she is from Reles Academy.
Compared with the confusing situation in the southeast of the Xili Empire, the situation in the northwest is much more "straightforward". This is not to say that the rebellious nobles are engaged in a fierce military struggle with the Imperial army, but in this counterinsurgency war, a hero has appeared on the side of the Empire. Armed with a red stick, this hero is invincible on the battlefield, like an indestructible brave fighter, and single-handedly leads the Imperial army to completely destroy the great noble group.
This means that in just one month, although the capital of the Cili Empire was suddenly attacked, the Empire was victorious on the battlefield of rebellion in both directions.
As a result, the two girls who shined on the battlefield gained the attention of the whole world.
One is Himea from Reles Academy.
And the other, the warrior who turned the tide on the battlefield, people don't know where she came from, the only thing they know is her name.
Estelle.
