Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 708 Federal Situation

Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region, Emerald Skirt North District 5, Gladiolus Manor.

This is the manor built by the local government for Heshia to thank her for her contribution to the improvement of the environment of the Emerald Skirt. The manor covers a very large area, and the stand on the hill overlooks the vast blue sea of ​​flowers below. It is taken care of by the vampire maids on a daily basis, and Tilan occasionally lives here.

"Oles, don't move yet."

In front of the dressing mirror, Tilan helped Orlais comb her hair, then fixed her hairstyle and decorated it with a snow-blue headband.

Orlais in the mirror opened her eyes slightly, with some anticipation and happiness in her eyes. She was wearing a shoulder-baring long dress today, and the style was the same as her headband, with snowflake white and indigo as the main colors.

Compared to Tilan, Orlais' figure and temperament are much more mature. When the two stand together, outsiders may think that Orlais is the older sister type of character.

"Okay." After finishing combing, Tilan put down the hairband in her hand, letting it fall together with Orlais's silvery long hair, setting off each other.

Orlais turned her head and looked at her current appearance, feeling very satisfied and happy.

"Thank you, Tilan." She spoke more coherently now.

Afterwards, the two of them walked out of the house and strolled along the path on the hillside. On both sides of the path were half-human-high blue-green flowers.

After returning to the Federation, Tilan did not hand over Orlais directly, but continued to keep her by her side. The elven families were extremely dissatisfied with this at first. After all, Orlais was an ice elf and the most talented singer in the elf faction.

But in the end, Tilan still "convinced" those elven families, because if she hadn't risked her life to rescue Orlais, she would have died in that battle.

At the same time, Tilan also told the elven families that if they wanted Orlais to get through her weak period and not be involved in the current chaotic situation, letting her stay with them was the best option.

After the battle three years ago, many people thought that Orlais had died on the battlefield. If she reappeared now, it would inevitably cause an uproar, disrupt the situation, and push the Elf faction to the forefront. After experiencing the previous moral kidnapping and coercion, many people in power in the Elf faction had calmed down a lot. Considering that what Tilan said was true, they finally agreed to this decision. However, they also requested to send a certain number of elven maids to protect Orlais and prevent her from being harmed.

Tilan did not object to this and readily agreed, so the two sides agreed to let Ores return to the central star field after five years.

Just like that, Ores and Tilan came to the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region together, and now they live in the Gladiolus Manor. The scenery here is beautiful, there are not many people around, and it is very quiet and safe.

"Tilan~" Ores walked in front and stepped into the soft grass below. There were also sparse flowers and plants here, but they were not dense, suitable for camping and playing.

"Okay." Tilan walked over and looked at Ores holding a translucent water ball. The flowing water inside reflected the sunlight, which was quite beautiful.

After arriving at the grass, Orlais and Tilan played water polo. The process was roughly similar to beach volleyball, hitting the ball back and forth to prevent it from falling to the ground.

However, both of them are extraordinary people, so the way they play is definitely different from that of ordinary people.

"Explosion~Ice ball~" Ores lifted the water ball in her hand and made it fly into the sky, freezing it into a hard ice ball, which then flew out suddenly and shot towards Tilan.

In response to this attack, Tilan also used a method. She placed her hands in front of her chest to form a triangle, and then a series of flowing circles flew over and continued to expand. When the water ball flew over these circles, it was retained by the force field in them, and its speed slowed down rapidly, and finally fell gently into Tilan's palm.

A pale white light flowed, and the ice ball that was originally frozen into one melted and turned into a crystal clear water ball again, spinning in Tilan's hand.

This time it was Tilan's turn to take action. She gently tossed the water ball up, then turned her fingers slightly, and the water ball above began to spin rapidly and transformed into a ring shape.

Afterwards, the girl waved her finger, and the high-speed rotating ring swooped out, rushing towards Orlais with a large arc trajectory.

In response to this, Orlesi also prepared several hexagonal ice shields, which were quickly connected in the air to block the oncoming water ring. The two rubbed against each other in the air, stirring up a large amount of ice debris. Then the water ring slowly slowed down and turned into a round sphere again, falling in front of Orlesi. This time it was her turn again.

In this way, the water ball kept changing in the hands of the two people, showing various trajectories and possibilities.

Although Tilan was absolutely sure of winning if she wanted to, she didn't have to win every game. In such a situation, she would rather have fun with Orlais without having to think about winning or losing or suppressing the other party.

Two hours later, Ores was finally tired of playing, so Tilan stopped, put the water ball where it was, and walked over.

"Let's go sit over there for a while." The girl pointed in the direction of a small wooden stand with benches for resting and enjoying the scenery.

"Okay~" Ores stood where she was, stretched out her hand, and waited for Tilan to come over and hold her hand.

Looking at this scene, Tilan couldn't help but smile, then she quickened her pace a little and came to Orlais' side, and then the two of them walked hand in hand towards the stands on the hill.

Sitting here to rest, the gentle breeze blows along the slope of the hill, bringing up many flowers and plants, and there is also a faint fresh floral scent in the air.

After the two sat down, Orlais talked about the happy things that happened to her recently and the new things she had learned. Tilan listened quietly and occasionally nodded in praise.

"Tilan, what was my personality like before? The maids said that I was very confident and quite 'noble'." She actually didn't quite understand the word 'noble' now.

"In the past..." Tilan recalled the scene when they first met. At that time, Orlais took the initiative to walk up to the podium to introduce herself. She indeed had the pride and generosity cultivated by her elf family, and she was also proactive in many things.

"Probably like a white rose." Tilan thought of the flower language of white roses: purity, nobility, innocence, and pride.

"Really?" Hearing that Tilan also agreed, Orlais felt that she must have been very great in the past and felt a little proud.

"Yes." Tilan replied with a smile. Then the two of them leaned on the bench to look at the scenery. Tilan talked about some things in the past at school, the time she, Orles, Shui Yanqing, Blanche, Audrey and Prin spent together.

"Blanche." This name reminded Orles of something.

"When I mentioned this to the maids before, their expressions changed drastically. Did Blanche and I have a bad relationship before?" Orese tilted her head.

"Well, actually you two had a pretty good relationship in the past." As for the bad things, maybe it was because he and Shui Yanqing liked to bicker and quarrel, but it didn't have much to do with Blanche.

"But some things happened later, and you were forced into an unavoidable conflict due to the situation." Tilan thought of the war three years ago. Both sides took great risks to participate in the war, but the result was unexpected.

"Then should I still be together with Blanche in the future?" Orese asked Tilan.

"We can make peace." Tilan held her hand and told her.

"That's good~" Hearing the girl say this, Orlais became happy again. Perhaps in her opinion, as long as they can be friends, they should be good people.

Tilan thought a lot about this, such as the future relationship between the Central Star Region and the Western Star Region, and the various situations that Ores will face in the future.

It seems that in the next few years, I have to slowly teach Orlais some political things. I can't say that I can make her very powerful, but at least she has to learn to protect herself.

……

Time passed, and in the years that Tilan was away, a lot of changes had taken place in the Federation.

First of all, because the central star field no longer has authority, each regional star field has begun to make many decisions independently. Whether for the sake of development or for profit considerations, the policies and guidelines of each star field have changed from the past.

In addition, due to the significant reduction in taxes paid, many local star fields have more sufficient finances. Some of this money is used to develop the local economy, some is used to improve the environment, and some is used to provide welfare and win votes. As a result, many star fields have become more vibrant, and various large and small projects have begun to be launched.

But on the other hand, some of the already poor star regions, due to the lack of funding support from the federal central government, began to become more difficult, and had to seek help from the surrounding star regions. Their economies became dependent on the support of the surrounding developed star regions. In this process, the poor star regions had to give up a lot of autonomy, while those developed star regions used this opportunity to gather the surrounding backward star regions and make them follow their own pace.

Over the years, groups of varying sizes began to take shape in various places. If there were singing girls in a certain star field, they could often quickly and easily integrate with nearby star fields to form a united group. Therefore, the representatives of groups in various star fields are often well-known singing girls.

In the northern star region, the orc faction headed by Eluklu formed a loose alliance. They were numerous and had great influence in various star regions in the north. However, because there were many sub-factions within the orcs and their forces were mixed, their degree of unity was not as good as that of some small groups.

Apart from 'Light Purple Foam' Elklu, the other singers born in the Northern Star Region include 'Moonstone' Eutimene, 'Pomegranate Broken Dreams' Arnansa, and 'Horn of the Wind' Queqin. However, for various reasons, the influence of these three in the Northern Star Region is much less than that of Elklu.

The first is 'Moonstone' Eutimene. This veteran singer is now 93 years old. Although as a transcendent being she can still live for a long time, her appeal and strength have declined a lot compared to her youth.

Secondly, there is 'Pomegranate Broken Dreams' Arnansha. Although she was born in the Northern Star Region, she actually grew up and lived in a remote military region. She has been disconnected from the Northern Star Region for a long time. Her main supporters are also in the military, not in the Northern Star Region.

Finally, there is 'Long Wind Horn' Kuiqin. Her situation is quite special. First of all, she was born in a relatively primitive tribe, which is on the edge of the federal jurisdiction. She has been accustomed to pastoral life since she was a child and influenced by local traditional concepts. She is not willing to move to a big city. Even after accepting the identity of a singer, she did not come to the central star field to go to school. She has been staying in the local area and rarely releases songs or appears in the public eye. Therefore, her popularity is limited to the local star field.

The Western Star Region is still led by 'Ten-Pointed Sun' Blanche, assisted by 'Red Carnation' Chi Wanxin. However, because the latter joined the team too late, she is not recognized by the various forces in the Western Star Region and only acts as a deputy.

The Eastern Star Region is the richest in the Federation except for the Central Star Region, and it has many star regions. The number of singers in the Eastern Star Region is also the largest among the major star regions. The most influential one is 'Red Ray' Luo Fenghua, who has been recognized by many Pan-Eastern forces. The second is 'Purple Flower' Otiberius and 'Mercury Bell' Fui, the two Moon-level singers. Both of them have more experience than Luo Fenghua, but the former was promoted to the Moon-level too late, and the latter is also because of her older age, so her activity and influence are not as good as Luo Fenghua.

Going down the list are the star-level singers from the Eastern Star Region, including 12 singers including 'Star Ring Rhythm' Shela Rank, 'Clausophile Flower' Jian Xiner, 'White Swan' Odney, 'Pulp Boat' Gwenna, etc.

In the southern star region, the most famous one nowadays is Tilan. Her current title is 'Angel of the Shining Moon' or 'Angel of the Gray Moon', and some people call her 'Black Angel' Heshia, which is quite confusing. The next most famous one is the Moon-level 'Falling Cloud Veil' Masha, followed by 'Flame Sugar' Purinkoko, 'Elegy of Thorns' Inor, 'Rin Flower Bird' Catherine, 'Azurite' Greyer, 'Poisonous Dream Scorpion' Yahmose, and 'Nine-Colored Nautilus' Muyawati.

In the Central Star Region, after the disappearance of Orles, the one who now takes the lead is 'White Rose Harp' Ewenkilin. Her talent is actually better than Orles, but she has always had psychological barriers, which prevented her from breaking through to the Sunday level. As a singer of half-elf descent and born into a famous family, she is actually recognized by all forces in the Central Star Region. If it weren't for the birth and appearance of Orles, she would most likely be the official representative singer of the Federation in the next hundred years.

The other older generation singers include 'Ultramarine Painting' Idlia and 'Late Sand Iron Box' Geyel, both of whom were famous figures of the previous generation.

In the central star region, the new generation of singing girls are represented by 19 other singing girls, including 'Wind Calyx Fruit' Shui Yanqing, 'Azure Bubble' Meilulu, 'Broken Silver Flute' He Xiao, 'Thorn Night Owl' Sarah, 'Blue Demon Moon Deer' Kosnard, 'Green Jasmine' Xiang Keer and so on.

There are currently 52 active singers, and there are about 19 who have retired or given up their status as singers, including 'Green Snake' Youlandojia, 'Polka Dot Recorder' Mei, and 'Sparkling Wine' Grid who gave up her status as a singer.

Judging from the number of singers, the number of singers in the Central Star District is about twice that of the Eastern or Southern Star District. This is because the Central Star District is the core area of ​​the Federation, with many star regions and a population several times that of other star regions. The Central Star Region is the most prosperous and core area in the Central Star District, gathering many residents.

The northern star region is located in a remote area, and there are many desolate planets far away from the civilized society of the Federation. The population is also smaller, with only 4 singers. The population of the western star region is much larger than that of the northern star region, but there is still a big gap compared with the more affluent eastern and southern regions. As for the central star region, the gap is even more obvious.

The current situation within the Federation is very different from that of 400 years ago. At that time, the economy of the Western Star Region was connected with that of the Central Star Region, and it was the second most developed region after the Central Star Region, with a large population and a large number of singing girls. However, with the advent and end of the civil war, the political and economic status of the Western Star Region in the Federation plummeted, the number of singing girls born subsequently continued to decrease, and a large number of people moved out, eventually forming the current situation.

In the three years since Heshia left, various forces have gradually become active, and the situation is far from being dominated by the central star field in the past. This has also led to the current complex and changeable situation, with various forces squeezing or uniting with each other and forming different alliances.

"It's such a headache." After flipping through the documents, the girl closed the recording board.

I originally thought that things would be much easier after returning to the Federation, but it seems that there are still many things to be busy with.

The country is still in turmoil and on the verge of crumbling. All forces have different ideas and thoughts. Moreover, after losing the suppression of the central parliament, the forces in various places have gradually colluded and united to form pieces of iron plate, which is far from the scattered state in the past. Even the trial court now faces much greater resistance when dealing with many issues, and it is not as smooth as before.

It is foreseeable that if this continues, even if the Rose Federation exists on the surface, it will actually have become a separate system and split into different regions.
