mais cette fois, je serais enfin la reine du château !

I listened to this sentence loads of times trying to see if there was any hint of an ellision ( "je serai z-enfin" ). There was not, and thus I concluded that it must have been "serai" not "serais".  Is no ellision used after "serais" ?

I think the liaison is optional, strictly speaking. However, most of the time it isn't made.
