Looking at the Demon Capital on the map, Alexandra smiled more cruelly than ever before.
If the plan went smoothly, then the grudge between humans and demons would end completely in her era.
The Demon Lord's mobilization ability among the demon race was quite powerful.
If expectations were correct, the Demon Lord would be able to mobilize almost all demon combat units to the Demon Capital.
After killing all the demons in the Demon Capital, she would have the army continuously sweep through the demon realm!
The demon race, with their combat units almost completely annihilated, would absolutely be unable to contend with the Iron Empire's army!
This time, what she wanted was definitely not victory in one war.
She wanted to make the demon race's existence history forever!
Then bring victory to save her daughter who would need her at that time!
......
"Ah... so bored..."
On the morning of the second day after completely resolving the goblin disaster, Elashia was rolling around on her bed in boredom just like in the past.
Through Elashia's efforts over the past half year, Elasia had basically gotten completely on track.
All the core characters of Elasia had been collected except for Dorothy.
Now Elashia really had nothing she could do.
But conveniently, today was Sunday, and it was the first day after the great battle ended. Except for those soldiers and guards who needed to handle goblin corpses, almost everyone in Elasia was on holiday, so she could go find others to play.
Thinking of this, Elashia sat up and began to contemplate.
Where would be good to go play...
Cecilia's place... seemed impossible, as Cecilia still had to command soldiers to handle goblin corpses today.
As for Chris... it was better not to disturb her rest. After all, she worked so hard, and during the previous goblin attack, she had stayed up several nights to deploy the city's police force properly. She needed to rest well on the weekend.
Going to find Aunt... also seemed impossible, as the Government Affairs Hall officials worked year-round without rest...
Erin... she was even more impossible, as the Magic Academy's weekend public classes were all taught by her personally!
As for Sophia... also seemed impossible, as she generally went camping with her friends on weekends.
Ahhhhh, wasn't everyone in Elasia busy, leaving only her as the one big idler!
Now Elashia finally experienced the loneliness of being unemployed.
After thinking it over, Elashia decided to go out for a walk.
Although Elasia's high-ranking officials were all busy, going to look at those places shouldn't have any impact.
Let's go to the outskirts first to see how the battlefield cleanup was going.
Having made up her mind, Elashia sat up and began changing clothes.
......
"Hey, did you hear? They say we had almost no losses in this battle! Everyone survived!"
"Do you know? They say the goblin army that came to attack the city numbered nearly a million! Now the military and security bureau people are still handling the corpses!"
"My god, how did Her Majesty Elashia win so perfectly!"
Walking on the capital's main street, the voices of people around inevitably reached Elashia's ears.
Hearing others discussing herself, Elashia felt somewhat awkward.
At this moment, she happened to pass by a tavern. Thinking that she couldn't visit people empty-handed, Elashia walked in.
However, as soon as she entered, she immediately wanted to leave.
The reason was simple—this was exactly the tavern that had kicked her out before!
However, just as she was about to run quickly, a drunk uncle inside suddenly called out to her!
"Hey, little girl, you look quite familiar."
Elashia's steps toward the door immediately stopped!
Oh no!
Although she now had strength comparable to a mid-level knight, she didn't want to have conflicts with citizens in the city!
That would definitely be very troublesome!
However, looking at the uncle who had called out to her, Elashia's heart settled back down.
What, wasn't this the guard captain who had previously tried to recruit Chris as a guard?
She had thought it was those fanatical patriots.
This guard captain was also someone she had selected, and Elashia knew he was a good guard who didn't seek fame or profit but was extremely responsible, so she wasn't nervous anymore.
Just right, meeting him, she could ask him about Chris.
See if Chris was overworking.
So Elashia sat down.
"Haha, what a coincidence, I didn't expect we'd run into each other."
The old guard laughed heartily and poured himself a drink.
Elashia smiled and asked:
"How was it? Did Chris scare you on her first day of work?"
The old guard laughed:
"Oh my, that really scared me to death... How could I know that day I'd recruit the head of the Security Department!"
After the old guard learned that Chris came from Yage City, he actually figured out who that pink-haired girl beside Chris was.
Chris, newly arrived in Elasia, couldn't possibly have any very familiar friends, yet that pink-haired girl seemed extremely familiar with her.
Plus her neither humble nor arrogant attitude when facing the head of the national security department, the old guard could easily guess who she was.
He really hadn't expected that the wise and benevolent Her Majesty Elashia that people spoke of would actually be such a cute girl...
With his years of experience, Elashia definitely wasn't someone who would be bound by etiquette, so the old guard spoke more casually with Elashia.
However, having reached this age, he knew some things shouldn't be said so directly, or it might cause chaos.
Elashia smiled and asked:
"Just right, I want to ask—has Chris been taking your work? I'm afraid she's working too much and tiring herself."
The old guard immediately got excited hearing this!
"Your Majesty! I must report this!"
"The previous security chief didn't manage anything, but the current Chief Chris handles almost everything personally!"
"Even when arresting criminals, she sometimes goes out personally, and most of the time everyone has gone home but she's still staying at the guard bureau!"
"The entire capital's guard bureau gets off work at six, but once when I went back to headquarters at nine to get something, she was still working inside!"
"As a subordinate, it pains me to watch. She looks like she's only in her twenties... why does she work so desperately?"
After hearing the old guard's words, Elashia also showed a serious expression.
Elashia had stipulated that she must return by ten o'clock, and Candice also mostly went to sleep around ten o'clock.
Before sleeping, Candice would check whether Chris was resting properly according to Elashia's orders.
Now Elashia understood—Chris returned to rest right on time every time!
As soon as nine o'clock ended, she would run back to quickly prepare for rest, then quickly turn the lights on and off!
This... felt like a student hiding from the disciplinary director?
She must properly discipline Chris when she returned!
No matter what, she couldn't live without her own life after coming to Elasia!
Otherwise, wouldn't it be just like when she was in Yage City!
"Thank you for the feedback. I'll properly discipline her when I return."
The old guard nodded.
"Oh well, young people still need to have some of their own life!"
However, mentioning this, the old guard suddenly complained:
"Sigh, Your Majesty, speaking of young people, I get angry."
Elashia asked somewhat strangely:
"Why?"
The old guard said somewhat angrily:
"This tavern is run by my son."
"However, a few months ago, a girl publicly slandered you here, saying you had ulterior motives."
"When I heard about this, I was angry. Someone actually dared to publicly slander you in my family's tavern!"
The old guard became more agitated as he spoke, his voice gradually becoming uncontrollably loud.
"I really... if I could find that girl with the same hair color as yours that my son mentioned, I'd really want to beat her up! Let that fairy learn a lesson!"
Elashia scratched her head somewhat awkwardly.
"Ha, haha, this... isn't it normal for citizens to have opinions? I'm... not perfect either..."
It would be embarrassing if he knew that the "slanderer" was herself!
Fortunately, it was morning now, the time when the tavern had the fewest people, with almost no one inside.
Otherwise, if others discovered she was that person from that day, it would be fun!
"No, Your Majesty, that person kept saying strange conspiracy theories. Such unfounded words were infuriating to hear..."
Looking at the old guard's angry appearance, Elashia could only respond with an awkward smile.
After complaining for a while, the old guard finally realized—he seemed to have been talking to himself.
"Your Majesty, I'm really sorry, I talk too much when I get emotional."
Then, the old guard asked somewhat curiously:
"So... Your Majesty, what brings you to our little tavern?"
Elashia smiled and answered:
"I'm going to see a friend. Could you have the kitchen make me a drink?"
The old guard showed a somewhat awkward expression.
"Ah..."
"We're not officially open for business yet, so the staff who make drinks haven't come in. We only have alcohol now..."
After hearing the old guard's words, Elashia thought for a moment and suddenly smiled:
"Then may I borrow your kitchen?"
The old guard was somewhat surprised.
"Ah... of course you can. I didn't expect Your Majesty to know how to do this."
Elashia smiled, thanked him, and entered the kitchen.
Please, she had the Cooking Mastery skill given by the system!
Making a drink was a piece of cake!
Entering the tavern's kitchen, seeing the materials in the kitchen, Elashia immediately got ideas!
Elashia first took a medium-sized glass and placed it on the table.
Then she took several strawberries from the ice cellar, washed them with water, then picked up the cleaned knife and began cutting strawberries.
Under the enhancement of Cooking Mastery, the strawberries were quickly cut into extremely small pieces by Elashia.
After pouring the cut strawberries into the glass, Elashia added a small spoon of fine honey. The pale yellow honey merged with the pink strawberries, quickly forming a sweet picture.
Next, Elashia slowly poured a cup of chilled fresh milk into the glass. The simple milk fragrance and the honey's sweet taste immediately merged, emitting a fragrant aroma.
Pink and white swirls gradually appeared in the glass, looking dreamlike...
After covering and shaking it, a cup of pink and white strawberry milk was ready!
Looking at the drink she had just made, Elashia couldn't help but marvel at the practicality of the system's skills.
She tasted it lightly, and Elashia immediately smiled.
The drink in the glass had a sweet but not cloying taste, with sweetness and freshness coexisting.
Even in the beverage shops of later generations, Elashia had never drunk such delicious beverages!
After sealing the cup properly, Elashia walked out of the kitchen with the drink for Cecilia.
After thanking the old guard, Elashia walked toward the door.
However, an embarrassing situation immediately occurred!
Just as Elashia walked toward the tavern's front door, she ran right into the manager who had kicked her out before!
Seeing Elashia, the young man immediately pointed at her and said to the old guard:
"It's her! It's this fairy who slandered Her Majesty Elashia!"
Hearing his son's angry accusation, the old guard was stunned for a moment.
Then he burst into loud laughter.
Now he understood what was really going on.
"Oh my, I thought so. How could anyone slander Her Majesty?"
Seeing his father's reaction, the manager was stunned and lowered his hand pointing at Elashia.
"Dad, what are you laughing at? Shouldn't we teach her a lesson?"
The old guard laughed heartily while grabbing his son's ear.
"Being so rude to a lady is impolite."
The manager grimaced in pain as his father grabbed his ear.
"Ow! Dad, why are you grabbing my ear!"
Elashia, watching this scene, could only continue with an awkward smile.
"Uh... Guard sir, he... uh... is also patriotic, isn't he? There's no need to punish him like this..."
Hearing Elashia's words, the manager, combining his father's behavior, seemed to notice something was wrong.
Their reactions looked so strange...
The old guard, grabbing his son's ear, waved at Elashia and laughed:
"You'd better leave quickly, or if this boy finds out who you are, you'll be in trouble."
Elashia smiled awkwardly, thanked the old guard, and quickly pushed the door to leave.
Elashia hadn't walked far when the manager's voice penetrated the tavern and reached her ears.
"Ah?! She's Her Majesty Elashia?!"
......
After experiencing the tavern farce, Elashia finally reached the outskirts.
After a full day of handling, the number of goblin corpses outside the city had finally decreased significantly.
It was now noon, and the soldiers and guards were sitting in the shade of the city wall resting.
Elashia quickly found Cecilia.
She was on the city wall observing the outskirts.
So Elashia immediately flew to her side.
Cecilia wasn't too surprised to see her, as Elashia's "idleness" was a consensus among all Elasians.
"Oh? Your Majesty, you've come?"
Elashia eagerly handed the drink in her hand to Cecilia.
"Quick, Minister Cecilia, taste how it is?"
Not knowing why Elashia was so excited, Cecilia took the drink from Elashia's hand with some confusion.
