She was pondering the deeper meaning behind Amelie's visit to her at this moment.
The fact that Amelie came to her personally to say these things proves that she has not completely failed. She still has a chance to be with Bobo and become the future matriarch of the Melson family... If that's really the case, then it's better not to be a general. What's the point of being a mere federal general compared to being the matriarch of the Melson family?
But this is certainly not an easy task, and everything comes at a price.
The fact that Amelie came to him meant that she was confident she could help him succeed. So, what price was he willing to pay?
The answer is actually quite obvious.
Should we go for it?
Of course she was going to go for it; Judy hadn't even considered giving up on the option.
"I get it, sis."
Judy's statement was also decisive and went straight to the heart of the matter:
"You help me sort things out between me and Bobo, and from now on you'll be my older sister. I'll do whatever you ask, and I'll obey your orders like a loyal soldier! ... Hmm."
After thinking for a moment, Judy gritted her teeth and made up her mind:
"I know you're a suspicious and cautious person, and my verbal agreement alone is definitely not enough... I'm willing to sign a formal soul contract or causal contract with you, how about it?"
"Senior, you're still so thoughtful!"
Emery immediately smiled with satisfaction, gave Judy a light hug, and then whispered in Judy's ear:
"Then you'd better be on your toes, senior, your battle has already begun. I've been really busy these past few days and haven't been able to get away, but I've already arranged for Lulu to help you..."
Judy listened patiently to Emerald's plans and arrangements, her eyes widening with each word until she was utterly speechless, only able to sigh in admiration:
"This works? You really are something else..."
. . . . .
Large-scale social events among the powerful and famous typically involve two approaches to expanding one's network and increasing influence.
One approach is to discuss business and cooperation; shared interests are always the best way to deeply bind alliances.
What if you don't have any projects to collaborate on but still want to maintain a good relationship? Naturally, you'll resort to playing the personal emotional card, with marriage being the most common method.
The intermarriage between the Melson and Lohid families over generations has been very successful. The intermarriage, which has lasted for more than a thousand years, has made the two families' bloodlines intertwined and they have become completely related. Now, there are quite a few members of the Lohid family with pink hair.
There are quite a few people who want to use the same method to curry favor with powerful figures.
Why do those powerful and influential people who come to visit bring their wives and children? It's because they hope to establish a connection with the Melson family through personal relationships.
It's certainly best for young people to be able to date, and some overly ambitious people might even encourage their wives to have affairs.
In fact, some people have actually succeeded with this trick. Whether they ended up with a hat on their heads or did so voluntarily, their careers went smoothly after receiving Merson's support... at least they themselves felt they didn't lose out, or even made a huge profit.
Of course, during the day, everyone is still quite reserved, at most they eat together and watch art performances, and talk about current events and fashion trends.
But when evening came and the huge social dance party began, the young people who had been eyeing their respective targets immediately sprang into action, and the sounds of flirting and jealousy filled the air.
Every son and daughter of the Merson family is surrounded by a large number of peers, both male and female.
In order to survive, the early humans in this world had already developed the technology of having children using magic. Not only could every female spellcaster make herself pregnant, but even men could use magic to create offspring for themselves, although the cost was many times higher.
This has led to the prevalence of homosexuality and homosexuality in this world. In the original game, Yulia, as the savior, had a group of women as her harem and no one thought it was wrong. In the present world, Emery has slept with so many women and people only criticize her as a scumbag, without saying much about her being homosexual.
Therefore, young men and women in this world can not only be lovers, but also rivals in love.
Even the collateral relatives, the young master and his daughter, were pursued by many of their peers, so the direct descendants would naturally only face more attacks.
Despite being the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Melson family, Amelie, even with Julia by her side as her partner, still couldn't stop others from pursuing her.
There's no way around it; for many families and powerful groups, the benefits of getting into bed with the eldest daughter of the Melson lineage are simply too great, and it's worth risking one's life for it.
Even if Julia were only Emerald's girlfriend, there would be no shortage of people trying to seduce Emerald, let alone the two of them being married.
However, since Emery had already publicly revealed that she was a woman, and with Connor Holm's tragic end serving as an example, no foolish man dared to pursue her anymore, but those men's sisters would take over and continue the pursuit.
Tonight, Amelie wore her favorite crimson gown, a newly designed piece made by Flora herself. While maintaining her elegant and glamorous style, it incorporated some asymmetrical new fashion elements, such as a halter neck on one shoulder connected to a half-sleeve, and different decorative lace on the left and right sides of the skirt.
Julia wore a black double-layered swallowtail coat. The fitted style made her look even more stunning, and the swallowtail design at the back added a touch of elegance to her beauty. She exuded a completely different charm from Amelie.
When Emerald attends public events, she always dresses like a delicate girl, even needing Julia to support her arm while she walks, and Marcy to hold up her skirt from behind. It seems that she is really just a young lady who can't even kill a chicken, rather than a powerful Fusion Stage expert who can destroy a town and cause bloodshed when she gets serious.
Julia, on the other hand, has a hot figure and charming looks, but she prefers to show her heroic and dashing side through her clothing. Compared to Emery, who is popular with both men and women, she is actually more popular with women.
So even though Emeryte is the one who takes care of and pampers Julia, Julia appears to have a strong boyfriend vibe, while Emeryte is more charming and alluring.
However, this also suited Amelie's wishes, because in this way, Julia could seamlessly act as her protector and solve problems in a more direct way, without having to resort to more brain-intensive scheming.
At tonight's ball, many women surrounded Amelie from the very beginning, all dressed up in their finest and most alluring outfits. They were shameless in their attempts to get close to her, practically grabbing her hand and saying, "Come on, let's find a place to sit."
Even so, it still infuriated Julia, who was standing next to Emerald.
What does it mean to say, "I ordered a really interesting pair of starry-patterned tights, Emery, would you like to explore the ends of the starry sky with me?"
And there's also, 'My fishnet stockings have a unique mesh; finding it will earn you a fantastic reward. Emerald, how about trying a treasure hunt tonight?'
And, 'I specially chose an amazing lingerie set to please my future partner. Amélie, could you try it on first and give me your feedback?'
Yulia was furious at the various flirting techniques they used.
And Amelie, that scumbag, didn't refuse at all. Although she didn't actually go with those women to explore the stars and search for treasure, she would engage in intimate interactions with them in a near-flirtatious manner, even in front of Julia.
Actually, Emery experiences similar situations every year, but before she became so famous, people weren't as enthusiastic.
But she is, after all, the legitimate heiress of Melson, and many men have tried to seduce her in the past. Emery doesn't mind picking a few girls who suit her taste to play with. Anyway, as long as she doesn't want to, no one can force her to take responsibility... So what if the dignified heiress of Melson is a bit of a scumbag? If you have any complaints, just tell my family's magical warship.
These things were commonplace for Emerald.
But in Yulia's eyes, it was completely different—although I have never won a duel and cannot control you from being unfaithful, it is one thing for you to do bad things in secret, but how can you flirt with a woman you just met in front of me like this?
I really want to hit you!
However, feeling Amelie's delicate and soft arms in her embrace, even though Julia knew very well that those arms were not delicate at all, she still couldn't bear to let go.
Forget it, if I can't control Amelie's womanizing ways, do you think I can't beat that vixen?
Yulia quickly came up with a new idea.
If Yulia is the type of partner who emphasizes her girlfriend qualities, then the only way to solve the problem in this situation is through a woman's approach, such as engaging in sarcastic banter and verbal sparring... Yulia is never at a disadvantage in this regard.
Unlike a certain blond ninja who always claims to be bad at talking but always succeeds in verbal sparring, Yulia is genuinely bad at talking, both in the original game and in the present world—her best way of persuading is to punch the other person in the stomach.
Of course, since it's a ball, Julia can't really beat up all the women who come to flirt with Emerald, but intimidating them is no problem.
This is also one of the benefits of Yulia's appearance, which makes her seem very boyfriend-like. No one would think there's anything wrong with this type of protector solving problems with strength.
Yulia's way of dealing with those women was to glare at them while clenching her fists and releasing her aura.
If an ordinary woman did this, people wouldn't think anything of it, and might even find her cute.
But it's somewhat frightening that someone who can destroy a town with a single, powerful punch could cause an earthquake.
Yulia has had plenty of real combat experience in the past two years. Although the number of people she actually kills with a single punch is very small, there are many people who are paralyzed by her and have to stay in the hospital for several months.
You should know that the magical medical technology in this world can even bring the dead back to life. An injury that would require several months of hospitalization in this world would at least result in lifelong paralysis on Earth.
In addition, although Yulia rarely kills people, she has killed far too many monsters.
Monsters are also living beings. People who kill a lot of monsters will also develop a murderous aura. Although it won't be as terrifying as the murderous aura developed from killing people, it will still be very intimidating.
If they were warriors who had also experienced real combat and had strong enough willpower, they might not be afraid of Yulia's simple release of momentum, even if they were weak.
But a group of pampered young ladies would definitely not be able to handle it. They would turn pale and run away with red eyes after being glared at by Yulia for a while.
"Your girlfriend is so scary..."
After the last pretty girl, dressed like a little princess in white stockings, glanced at Julia tremblingly and ran away, Emerald could only sigh helplessly.
"Honey, really... You're such a powerful person, why are you arguing with them? Aren't your powers meant to help others? Why are you using them to scare people?"
As Amelie put her arm around Julia and began to spin her around to the music, teaching her to dance, she whispered teasing words in her ear.
"What? Are you feeling distressed?"
Yulia was clearly still angry, and her words were somewhat sarcastic:
"If you feel sorry for them, just go after them! They're definitely still here. Maybe they're waiting for you to come and explore the stars and hunt for treasure together... Hmm, like that girl who just left, she could probably play the Sleeping Princess game with you, where she's awakened by a kiss from love?"
"Wow, that's so sour... Honey, you're so jealous!"
Emerald simply breathed into Julia's ear, her voice even more alluring:
"Don't worry, with this feast waiting for me, how could I possibly have the appetite for those little snacks that I could eat or not? If you want me to eat fewer snacks, then you'll have to try harder to feed me a proper meal, okay?"
"Hmph, don't be so smug. Tonight, I'm going to defeat you completely in this duel! I'll make sure you can never be a scumbag again!"
Yulia blushed slightly, teased, but still retorted defiantly:
"Don't forget, I defeated you in one round that night using my shockwave technique!"
"That was just my carelessness!"
Amelie was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed when this was mentioned.
As expected of the destined heroine of the original eroge, Yulia's talent in water magic duels is in no way inferior to her true combat talent.
Even with all the preparations Amélie made beforehand, she couldn't achieve a 100% win rate and was still stolen a game by Julia.
Although Emery has never lost since then, and she developed a way to deal with shockwave attacks the very next day, this incident still served as a wake-up call for her.
Yulia was indeed not so easy to completely subdue.
Yulia would certainly not betray or harm Emerald now, but as her experience in water magic duels grows, she still has the potential to turn the tables on Emerald at night.
Chapter 234 She's practically a war goddess!
Amelie became a notorious womanizer in the industry not simply because she pursued pleasure.
The main reason Ameliete engages in so many despicable acts is that she doesn't want to be defeated and conquered by Julia like a nobody in the original game.
She wanted to be invincible in the nighttime water magic duels, but without the protagonist's destiny like Julia's, who was favored by the world's consciousness, she could only rely on hard work and sweat to train herself.
Fortunately, so far these efforts have been effective.
While earning the reputation of a wicked woman, Emery also mastered advanced water magic skills, enabling her to repeatedly defeat even the blessed Julia.
As the saying goes, a sister is likely to resemble her brother.
Lulu never felt disgusted or afraid of Emery's various rumors about her being a bad woman, unlike others. Instead, she was filled with longing and wanted to be like her sister.
That's why Lulu flirts with female classmates at the magic academy. Unfortunately, her skills are still far inferior to Emerald's, and she is always caught by the disciplinary committee or teachers, receiving public criticism and having her parents called in.
Fortunately, Lulu had crammed last night, observing Amelie and Marcy's daily water magic training sessions all night long, and learned a lot.
Tonight, Lulu will play the role of the new "bad girl" and complete the task assigned by her sister.
This year's New Year's ball at the Merson family has a special project: to find a suitable young woman who is both from a good family and is outstanding enough to be Bobo's fiancée.
This news was leaked through various channels by longtime fans of Bobo on the very day the meeting ended. And after Pias became the official heir to the family headship, everyone with eyes to see understood the true value of Bobo's fiancée.
Therefore, the competition for this position will be extremely fierce.
Many eligible young women from prestigious families dressed up meticulously that night, vying to outshine Bobo.
It would be even better if Bobo could fall in love with me at first sight or even have an intimate relationship with me.
Most of the eligible girls only knew that Bobo was choosing a fiancée, but they didn't know what kind of girl Bobo specifically liked.
They can only dress themselves based on some preconceived notions about men. Some wear cake dresses to make themselves look as cute as fairy tale princesses, some wear all white to go for a pure and innocent look, some wear short skirts and black stockings to make themselves look mature, and some wear tank tops and fishnet stockings to look like a trendy young woman.
They were all very confident in their figures and looks, and they all tried very hard to show themselves in front of Bobo, but then they were completely defeated.
Bobo really has no interest in these mainstream-style pretty girls, because no matter how pretty they are, they are not as pretty as Bobo's sister, and some are even not as pretty as Bobo herself when she is dressed as a woman.
Just like how many people on Earth can't tolerate teammates who are worse than themselves when playing team-based competitive games, Bobo is unlikely to be interested in an ordinary pretty girl who is less cute than himself.
However, many of the young ladies had received more inside information and made more preparations before they came.
Some people could easily go for a glamorous look, but instead they cut their hair short and wore trousers, dressing themselves up in a very dashing style.
There are also people who, despite previously only knowing how to grow flowers and play the piano, force themselves to stay up for two nights straight to study the theory of magic technology. When trying to get close to Bobo, they never mention fashion or art, but only discuss their understanding and experience of magic technology with Bobo.
Bobo has no interest in ordinary pretty girls and can ignore them with a cold face.
But when it comes to these young ladies who have prepared in advance to target his weaknesses, Bobo feels a bit lost and confused amidst the sea of women.
After all, he's a teenage boy. It would be strange if Bobo didn't react at all when surrounded by a group of girls trying to please him.
Judy, watching this scene from a short distance away, gritted her teeth, wishing she could immediately take her little Nanliang away to prevent the vixens from seducing him.
