The villain daughter did all kinds of things

He didn't use any special abilities or powerful secret magical artifacts; he even wore only one sleeve of his magical costume, while his other hand was still reviewing documents.

With just a simple sealing technique, Flora, the genius and beautiful young mage of the Lohid family, was instantly defeated, and her pride was completely shattered.

The golden sealing light membrane that wrapped Flora like a full-body bodysuit did not disappear immediately, because Flora seemed to be unwilling to accept being sealed and continued to twist her body on the ground.

However, Flora was not a great magician and could not transcend the limitations of the physical body on life; her bodily functions also required breathing to maintain.

The golden sealing light membrane completely isolated the outside world, including the air. So after struggling helplessly for a few minutes, Flora fainted due to lack of oxygen and collapsed onto the floor of Emeryte's office, unable to move.

Emery gently patted Sulina beneath her, allowing Sulina to carry her to Flora's side.

Afterwards, Emerald stepped on Flora a few times with her bare, black-stockinged feet through the golden sealing light membrane, then smiled and commented on Flora's figure before removing the golden sealing light membrane.

Flora was, after all, an excellent magician. She could faint from suffocation, but she wouldn't easily die from it—her magic had entered an automatic protection state, allowing her to maintain life even when she couldn't breathe. However, like a laptop with low battery, strenuous activity was impossible.

Now that she could breathe again, the energy-saving self-protection mechanism automatically dissipated, and Flora woke up with a soft moan in less than half a minute. Before she even opened her eyes, she smelled a strange odor, and it seemed like something was teasing her chin.

"……Well?"

Once fully awake, Flora realized that she was lying helplessly on the floor in front of Emerald, and it was Emerald's foot that was lifting her chin.

"How's it going? Are you convinced?"

Emerald looked down at Flora with a playful smile in her eyes.

"I don't agree!"

Flora immediately blurted out something, then quickly added:

"But I concede! You're definitely stronger now!"

"Oh?"

Emery raised an eyebrow and withdrew her foot.

"You mean you think you'll surpass me in the future?"

"of course!"

Flora raised her face:

"You only overwhelmed me with the raw power of a Fusion Stage mage! Once I break through to the level of a Grand Mage, how could I possibly lose in a one-on-one fight when I can use all types of magic?"

"So confident... Hmm, but your innate magic is indeed quite interesting."

Amelie smiled and patted Sulina, who had a deadpan expression, again, so that Sulina would drive her back behind the desk.

Flora's confidence wasn't entirely unfounded. At least in the original game, she was indeed the strongest mage character that players could control, and could even compete for the title of the strongest player character—her ability to transform into magical roses was incredibly useful.

Flora seemed to only then notice Sulina. She blinked a few times and, unable to contain her curiosity, asked directly:

"By the way, does the lady beneath you have any special hobbies? Why is she just sitting there as a chair for you without saying a word?"

"Oh, you mean Senior Su Lina."

Emery seemed to say casually:

"She was just overestimating herself by challenging me, and I defeated her... As the loser, she can only become my chair. Who told her to challenge me in the first place?"

"Goo!"

Flora immediately shrank back in fear. She wondered if she had been presumptuous enough to issue the challenge. Would she also become the chair? Was the genius, beautiful young mage of the prestigious Lohid family headed for her demise?

"Hmm... Come to think of it, it seems you failed too."

As if on cue, Emery immediately brought up the matter, looking at Flora with a mischievous grin:

"So, Miss Flora, how do you intend to pay the price for your defeat?"

“I...I...I admit that you are a powerhouse in the Fusion stage. You have passed my test and have completed the first step of joining the Lohid Club.”

Flora stammered for a moment, then suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"I am already a powerhouse in the Fusion stage, why do I need your recognition?"

Emery scoffed, then, noticing Flora's face turn pale for a moment, softened her tone:

"Of course, given the relationship between Melson and Lohid, I certainly won't let you and Senior Sulina serve as my chairs... But you have ultimately offended me as a Fusion Stage expert, and offending an expert comes at a price. Didn't the old man teach you that?"

"……Yes."

Flora gritted her teeth again, but finally slumped down and admitted defeat.

"I'm sorry, I offended you. I'm willing to accept your punishment, as long as it doesn't damage Lohid's reputation."

"Punishment... um~~"

Emery pretended to think for a few seconds before letting out a soft hum:

"Then, like I said before, stay by my side and work for me... From today onwards, I am your boss. Your main job is clothing design, which is unpaid and has no days off. You have to be available whenever I need you."

"Clothing...clothing design?"

Flora's face contorted slightly:

"But...but I'm a magician! You could even let me stay by your side as a maid or a bodyguard!"

"A bodyguard? Do you think I need a weakling I can easily defeat to protect me?"

Amélie gave Flora a half-smile:

"As for the maids, that's even more ridiculous. You're a young lady from the Lohid family, do you really know any maid service skills?"

"I……"

Flora puffed out her cheeks.

After thinking about it, she realized that she really didn't have any maid skills.

But it doesn't matter, because there is another mage in the room with similar strength to her, who can serve as her guard.

So Flora immediately pointed at Viliana:

"Her strength isn't much higher than mine. She can be your bodyguard, so why can't I?"

"Oh...you mean Anna?"

Amelie's smile widened, and then she waved to Viliana:

“Anna is not the kind of bodyguard you imagine… Come, Anna, demonstrate your work as a bodyguard to Miss Flora.”

"Yes, Master?"

The female guard, who had just been aloof, immediately became hot and alluring.

Elves have no sense of shame whatsoever. Viliana didn't care at all that Flora, whom she had just met, was watching from the side. She climbed directly to Amelie's side, hugged one of Amelie's black-stockinged legs, and began to practice water magic.

Flora stared wide-eyed, utterly stunned:

"You...you...you...you are shameless!"

"...What's so shameful about that?"

Amélie brought the cup of fresh elven honey to her lips and took a small sip, then looked at Flora with amusement:

"This is the real job of my bodyguard... How about it? Can you handle it?"

"I can't do it! I can't do it! I can't do it at all!"

Flora shook her head repeatedly, even taking a few steps back in fright, covering her body with her hands:

"I'd rather not do this kind of bodyguard work... Okay, I'll just do fashion design."

"That's a good girl~~"

Amélie smiled with satisfaction, while Flora looked humiliated—she never expected that her magical abilities, which she had always been proud of, would be rejected, while her hobby of clothing design had won instead.

"Good children can also get rewards~~"

Seeing that she had bullied Flora enough, Emery first patted Viliana's head to stop her from getting too excited, and then chuckled:

"Old Master Lohid already told me in his letter that he wants you to train with me for a while, to look for your breakthrough opportunity from other angles... What do you think?"

"I will follow your instructions."

Having been beaten up and frightened by Sulina's fate and Viliana's behavior, Flora is now visibly much more obedient.

"Hmm~"

Emerald pretended to be thinking, but in reality, she had already come up with a plan:

"Well then... Although you're no different from a nobody in front of me, your magic is still quite good for someone below the Fusion stage. So I'll arrange another job for you... When my Yulia isn't working, you can be her sparring partner... It just so happens that she's planning to break through to the Fusion stage anyway."

"Miss Yulia? She's also about to break through to the Fusion stage?"

Flora's eyes widened immediately:

"I remember... she's about half a year younger than you, right? If she also breaks the record, wouldn't your record be broken again right after you set it?"

"...When did you get the idea that I only recently broke through to the Fusion stage? Hmm?"

Emery immediately narrowed her eyes and glanced at Flora:

"Besides, what's wrong with my Yulia? She's someone I've set my sights on, so of course she'll be just as outstanding as me... Even if she doesn't succeed in breaking through this time, she'll definitely succeed next time."

"Hmph, then I'll definitely become a great mage before her!"

Flora's competitive spirit kicked in again:

"At that time, I will challenge you again, defeat you, and prove that I am the strongest among the younger generation of humanity!"

"Let's talk about that after you actually break through."

Emery shrugged nonchalantly:

"Now... don't forget you're already my employee. Let Sisi take you to the Human Resources Department to complete the formalities."

"……I see."

Flora did not refuse, but gave Emery another deep look before following Marcy out of the office.

Meanwhile, Marcy took Flora to complete the onboarding procedures, collect work clothes and name tags, choose an apartment as employee dormitory, and finally get to know the other people in the costume and props department of Blue Star Film and Television.

Meanwhile, Amelie continued her work; she had indeed been quite busy these past few days.

The films "Deep Sea Voyage" starring the Haigs father and son and "Singing Girl" starring Sulina have been completed. The Blue Star Cinemas in Vance Commercial Streets across the Federation have also been basically completed and will open soon. Amelie is still discussing with the Vance father and son.

The Vance family wants to hold an opening ceremony on Vance Street, the largest shopping street in Sphingart, and hopes that Emerald will also attend.

Emerald didn't refuse, but she and Vance were both very busy, and they were discussing their free time together in the near future.

Besides, Amelie wouldn't miss such a thrilling event as slaying an Ancient Dragon-level Shadow Dragon in the Northern Snowfields; she plans to make it into "Julia 3." The Lohid family has already agreed, as long as Amelie doesn't reveal the secret of the [Lohid Replication Technique] in the film.

Emerald was at work, and Flora followed Marcy through the onboarding process. The morning passed quickly, and it was lunchtime.

Julia, who had spent the morning flying around helping others, flew in through the window with a rumbling stomach, looking for a free meal from Emerald.

Amelie didn't have time to cook in the morning, but there were still quite a few dragon meat pies left over from last night, which were well preserved by preservation magic and still had the heat and aroma of freshly baked.

Then, the administrative staff ordered several gourmet dishes from the upscale restaurant next door and had them delivered. The group then enjoyed a hearty meal in Amelie's office, and even Flora ate with relish—even for her, as the direct disciple of the Lord of the Lohid family, ancient dragon meat was quite rare.

After eating and drinking their fill and resting for a while, as usual, Julia should continue flying out to help others, while Emery should continue working.

However, starting yesterday, the procedure changed. From around 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. is Yulia's training time, and she will only go out to do good deeds after she finishes training.

Before meeting Amelie, Flora spent several days watching movies in Locke City and became very interested in Julia, the legendary heroine.

Yulia was still somewhat shaken by the scene of Emerald bullying her with the [Magic Hand] yesterday. Now that she heard that she had a new sparring partner, who was also a genius mage from Lohid, she was eager to try her hand at it.

The two men looked at each other on the training field, each with similar thoughts in their minds.

...If I can't beat Emery, can't I beat you?

Emerald was also present, but this time she did not participate directly. Instead, she acted as the referee and promised the two a reward for winning and a punishment, as well as some consolation, for losing.

Soon, Julia flew out with a sonic boom, and Flora summoned a sky full of rose petals. The two of them started fighting with all their might.

Yulia once again demonstrated her characteristic as the female lead in an adult game—inevitable defeat in the first battle.

Before the battle, Julia didn't know anything about Flora. She thought Flora's fighting style would be similar to Viliana's, so she didn't pay much attention and imagined that she would first use her fists to shatter the magic and then crush her with close combat, just like when she fought Viliana.

However, with the help of her innate magic—Magic Rose Transformation—Flora's burst of power is much stronger than Viliana's.

Yulia did shatter Flora's first few spells, but she was quickly engulfed by more rose petals, which then either transformed into fire magic that burned and exploded, or became a bone-penetrating curse that burrowed into Yulia's body.

Yulia was careless for a moment and was first covered in soot from the explosion of flames, unable to open her eyes.

She was constantly weakened by various curses, feeling dizzy, weak in her limbs, and powerless all over, just like in her dream when Emerald turned into a pink tentacle monster and drained her dry.
