Originally, Arshe looked at Ellie with more confusion and bewilderment, but now… she, like Sister Yuri and Pestonia, looked at Ellie with eyes full of admiration.
"Actually, the principle is very simple," Ellie explained. "It's about letting the people of the Empire know who helped them in their most difficult time. This is the same as how Ainz Papa rescued the villagers of Karn Village. You should know that the villagers of Karn Village have already placed Ainz Papa alongside the four great gods they worship. It probably won't be long before they only worship Ainz Papa. After all, the four great gods are too illusory for them; only Ainz Papa can truly give them the stable life they desire. So, I'm just imitating Ainz Papa's method."
"As expected of Princess Elizabeth, to be able to think of such a method," Sister Yuri said with immense admiration.
"I told you I'm just learning from Ainz Papa; I'm just copying his methods," Ellie said, feeling a bit embarrassed. Not only was this trick learned from Ainz Papa, but more importantly, she had read the script and understood the Blood Emperor and the Empire's situation very well, which is why she was able to trick him like this.
"Then, Princess Elizabeth, is there anything else we can help with? Woof!" Pestonia also asked with a look of reverence.
"Uh… I don't think so. I've already explained what needs to be done to Sister Yuri earlier. The rest is just a matter of waiting," Ellie replied, taking a sip from her teacup. She had fished enough and it was time to go back.
"Speaking of which, Princess Elizabeth, didn't you instruct the Empire to pay for hiding the identities of those Undead Arch-Mages? If they were all hidden, wouldn't your plan be…?" Sister Yuri asked, noticing a blind spot.
"Even if we don't actively hide the identities of those Undead Arch-Mages, the Emperor of the Empire will demand it. If we refuse this request, our intentions might be exposed. So, we might as well do it for him first and earn a little money from the Empire. Moreover, the Emperor of the Empire will even thank us. As for the problem you're worried about, Sister Yuri, someone else will help us expose the identities of these Undead Arch-Mages, so don't worry," Ellie said with a smile.
"Someone else? Do you have other arrangements? In that case, I will…" Sister Yuri said, and it was clear she was very eager to help fill the pit for the Blood Emperor who had already fallen into it, but it was still needed for now.
"It's an arrangement, yes, but that's a last resort. Before that, the Church or the Slane Theocracy will expose the identities of those Undead Arch-Mages for us," Ellie said.
"The Church? The Slane Theocracy??" The three of them were confused again. Not to mention the Church, why was even the Slane Theocracy involved?
"I'm betting on their psychology here. I think the Church's intention in withdrawing was more about threatening the Emperor of the Empire. After all, the Church is indeed too important for a country. Precisely because of this… that's why the Church has such a huge influence in human nations. You should know that the Church hates Undead. However, not long after they withdrew from the Empire, figures appeared in the Empire to replace them. If it were me, I would also investigate the background of the people who replaced me. If the Church wants to investigate, the identities of the Undead Arch-Mages definitely cannot be hidden. Once exposed, the Church will naturally publicize that the Empire has fallen as a lackey of the Magic Kingdom and a traitor to humanity. In this way, the people of the Empire will naturally know who helped them in their time of difficulty and who abandoned them," Ellie explained with a smile.
"I see! In this way, we can also blacken the Church's reputation. As expected of Princess Elizabeth, who inherited Lord Ainz's wisdom, to have thought of so much!" Sister Yuri flattered Ellie with great excitement.
