Chapter 301: Pressure Resistance

"Do you know how many letters of impeachment and meeting requests I've received about you these past two days? Seventeen! Exactly seventeen. I'm starting to suspect the entire Radiant City wants you dead."

The torrential rain continued to batter the entire Radiant City. Even as the whole city seemed to fall into a brief slumber, someone was still helplessly working overtime.

Inside the "Mirror," Dai Niya's eyes were bloodshot (war exhaustion hadn't healed, and now she was forced to work overtime), slamming a thick stack of "report letters" onto the table.

"Smack!" The papers hit the table and even bounced, looking like there really was quite a lot of them.

The Princess pouted, lightning gathering in her pupils, just like the wind and rain outside, continuing to gather strength.

Li En fell silent for a moment. When the communication just connected, his mood was clearly good; how did it suddenly shift from sunny to a storm?

He noticed that the Princess's gaze wasn't focused on him; it seemed to keep glancing behind him from time to time.

"Spend two points of Mana! Fistreion self-destruct! Blow up your 'Continental Hero' Lex Thorne! Hehe, Master is dead again!" Miss Miss Lana laughed very happily; her senior hero and "Master" had died again.

"No, no, how did my Lex die again!! He's already died ten times today!" And Hela, who seemed to really like the chess set centered on Lex, but was said to be very weak in strength.

Li En turned around and indeed saw Hela, who had been playing with Miss Miss Lana, stop the game temporarily since the communication with Dai Niya began; this "Eldest Princess's" voice was much louder.

Li En fell silent. He looked down at the chess piece he was playing with in his hand and the chessboard setup.

He roughly understood where this nameless resentment came from.

Her sister was working overtime until she was about to die, with all kinds of heavy burdens piling up; she had to bear the pressure and make decisions. Just handling the aftermath of battles meant endless overtime.

But the older sister was relaxed and happy. Lex finally did something good in the end; the severe blow to the "Falcon" reduced Hela's psychological pressure for the short term. In a sense, the sisters had "reconciled" with Lex.

Regardless of good or bad, the era of the parents has passed; the children must walk on their own.

Everyone understands the logic. Li En noticed Dai Niya even called Hela "Big Sister" in a small voice; the two sides had indeed eased their relationship to some extent, but seeing her sister playing wildly while she was working overtime instantly added pressure.

"I am talking to you; where are you looking? If not, I will follow their suggestion and directly exile you to a small town outside the city to be a village head."

"Don't, don't, then I'll be dead as soon as I leave the city."

Li En immediately yielded, spouting endless sweet words that cost nothing, and only then said, "Under the leadership of our wise and beautiful Princess, we will be invincible," at which point the girl was already blushing, somewhat at a loss.

Discussing serious matters had turned into coaxing a little girl; Li En felt a bit helpless too.

"Li En, don't waste time, come over and play quickly." Just as things were about to be settled, Hela's call suddenly came from behind.

Alright, the person in front of him had turned into a pouting girl again.

Li En sighed, put on a stern face, and started discussing serious matters. When a girl's emotions are high, don't push back hard; find something she must take seriously to shift her attention.

Will it work? At least for the very responsible Dai Niya, it worked very well.

Being able to use the God-Blessed race, the Little Mirror Spirit, as a messenger means she is a Chosen One of the Gods, but even she would not deploy such a strategic resource for no reason.

"Looks like the pressure is manageable? The Great Nobles and the Great Church haven't spoken up?" Li En said.

"The Great Nobles won't offend me at this time; everyone knows you are behind me, and the Great Church is just slacking off."

Behind the Great Church are the Great Gods, but actually their interests are not equivalent. Pious shepherds might represent the will of the Deities, but the Church is still just a mortal power organization.

If Dai Niya was truly under such pressure that she had to respond and compromise, she wouldn't be communicating and chatting from so far away; she would have directly summoned Li En over to deal with it.

The only force that can truly interfere with all this is the power of the Great Church, but most of them are eager to get through this crisis. If the Kingdom falls, their dioceses naturally fall too.

Some of these "masterminds," even if they wanted to do something, knew the trend was like this. Pushing back hard at this time might just make them the focal point of attack, waiting for their reputation to be utterly ruined.

"Looks like losing the slaves, and the slave market business having a major problem, has someone panicked," Li En said.

"But the level of panic isn't high enough." Dai Niya in the screen took a sip of water. The expected backlash had come, but the pressure was indeed not enough.

These "slave businesses" naturally had someone responsible; their livelihoods were taken away, so naturally they panicked. But the big shots behind them were a bit unwilling to have a conflict with Princess Dai Niya, who was currently at the height of her popularity, over "this small matter."
