Chapter 129. Alaite: It's Time!
"His name is Char, Your Majesty."
Felix lowered his head in respect.
The fat merchant's injuries were healed, but there was a hideous wound on his face which looked like a red centipede.
He couldn't care about it.
The moment he touched the ground, the pain and cold swept away the cowardice and fear in his mind. In the gap between being treated, he cleared his mind.
From the moment he received the 1.5 billion gold coins, all of this had turned from a dark conspiracy into an open one, from being hidden to the surface.
Mr. Char wouldn't mind if he told his name.
On the contrary, his name would be used as a symbol to support a mysterious and powerful image in the Queen's heart, allowing her to use her imagination to misunderstand and fear her opponent as much as possible.
More importantly, it would reduce the pressure on him.
The lower the pressure, the lower the possibility of saying the wrong thing.
Although Mr. Char said those people would not dare to do anything to him, he was not stupid enough to think that no matter what he did, they would not do anything.'
What Mr. Char meant was that he could use some means to protect himself.
It was his method.
"Char!?"
Felix didn't expect the first one to react was Prince Alaite.
Esylian looked at him.
"Alaite, you have something to say?"
Alaite looked at Prince Yasuo and hesitated.
Does he want to shed all pretenses of cordiality?
However, if he said this, the Queen would definitely ask him how he knew and would involve that letter.
Would she mind his family's status as one of the fourteen apostles?
At this time, the people outside carried in the 'Eye of the Abyss.'
The Sunfire Personal Guard was at level 80, so it was natural that they would not be affected by the [Curse of Chaos] on a magic sword.
With a clang, the exaggeratedly-shaped sword was thrown to the ground. From far away, the smell of the abyss could be scented, and everyone's gazes present changed.
Prince Yasuo even wanted to die.
From everyone's reaction, he might have gotten into trouble!
Wasn't it just a prohibited gift? Normally, this wouldn't happen at all!
But now...
"Yasuo is really a person who loves swords."
Esylian raised the sword as if it was a piece of straw and looked at it carefully.
"Eye of the Abyss. I remember this sword. There's a type of monster that's huge and is a terrifying guard born to be a general. Most of them use this weapon. Where did you get this sword, and how did you transport it into Greenwood?"
Felix bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise. This is indeed the 'Eye of the Abyss,' from Annapula, outside Golden Butterfly City. Mr. Char transported it to Pelican Town by water, and I used the exclusive channel of the Morgenlight Chamber of Commerce to transport it into the heart of the forest."
"Char again?" Esylian looked at Alaite. "You seemed to have something to say just now?"
"Yes!"
Prince Alaite stood up straight.
He felt that the time had come! He could go!
He could hit Yasuo when he was down!
Alaite then told her about the demon disaster in Golden Butterfly City and Annapula's demon extermination in an impassioned manner. In fact, he did not know the details, only the general content. However, elves were born speakers, and they were the king of stories. It was enough to draw the outline. It was just a story!
The Queen didn't care at all. After hearing so many stories, she knew which were true and which were false.
But even so, this made her frown slightly.
An important character is involved in all of this...
That was Char.
What was this man trying to do?
"That's the general occurrence." Alaite took a deep breath and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth without a change in expression. He continued, "There is one more thing that Your Majesty should know. Char was wanted by the church before the demon disaster. The church's Valkyrie, Ortlinde, even personally went after him."
"Wanted criminal? The Valkyrie?"
"That's right! The person who personally experienced this, Duke Saxson, told me about it a few days ago. He said the relationship between Char and the church has reached the point of fire and water and that he appreciated Char but also felt pity for him."
Alaite did not say it out loud, but he was madly hinting that Char had a grudge against the church, which was why he was being hunted.
Esylian glanced at him as if she had seen through his thoughts.
She didn't respond immediately and paced back and forth.
Her high heels made a clanging sound on the floor, knocking on everyone's hearts.
"I want to meet this person."
She turned around to look at Felix.
"He's doing all this to discuss business with me, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise." The fat merchant lowered his head. "We lowly existences want to speak directly to you, so we must resort to some exaggerated means to make up for it."
Esylian chuckled and didn't comment on his flattery.
Felix's words were vague. What was "exaggerated means?" Was he referring to the frame or the gold coin incident?
He didn't say it explicitly, and Esylian wasn't stupid enough to ask. She would be led by the nose if she did.
She knew very well that business talks needed a buyer and a seller.
And now, the other party was the wealthiest buyer in the world.
What did he want to buy from her?
She sat back in her seat and crossed her long legs. Her body was slightly tilted, with one hand supporting her head and the other slowly tapping on the armrest.
"Alaite, you're still hiding something from me, aren't you?"
Alaite panicked and didn't know what to say.
"The surname 'Dawn' has been passed down for 357 years. Before that, it was 'Twilight,' wasn't it? " She said indifferently.
Alaite knelt with a plop.
"He, he asked someone to send a letter. The contents of the letter are no small matter."
"Speak," she said.
The gears in his head turned quickly. Alaite suddenly realized he couldn't say "the dark rose will bloom again" because the Dark Elves' emblem was the dark rose before they were exiled. If he said it, wouldn't it be equivalent to cursing the Queen?
He answered, "Prince Yasuo has an affair with the demons."
As soon as his words fell, there was an uproar.
"This is clearly a trap!" Prince Yasuo jumped up from his chair and said, "First, you sent someone to deliver a demonic sword to my residence, and then you slandered me by saying I have an affair with the demons. How can Her Majesty believe such a simple frame-up?"
"Quiet, Yasuo."
Esylian stopped him from shouting.
However, in the next second, she said something shocking.
"From today onwards, you are no longer a governor."
"What?"
Prince Yasuo turned to the Queen in a daze, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He was stunned for a few seconds, then his expression quickly eased and even became sarcastic.
"Your Majesty," These four words were said in a strange tone.
"It's not as easy as you think to dismiss a governor. Can you come to a conclusion with such clumsy framing? The other governors might not agree to it."
He glanced at the other three people, who were equally shocked. Other than the governor of the Sunfire Family, who was loyal to the Queen, the Sunstrider and the Rime Family were both his political allies. They could not agree to it for such a simple reason.
Therefore, this was just the Queen's wishful thinking.
Although this woman was stubborn, she was ultimately unable to set off much of a storm in the face of the rules that had been passed down by the elves for many years.
Sure enough, the two princes immediately stood up and echoed, defending Prince Yasuo.
Esylian didn't get angry. She merely looked at them quietly.
A few seconds passed, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Whether it was the people defending or protecting, they were all put on the spot.
However, the Queen was like a statue, not saying a word.
Half a minute passed, and hurried footsteps sounded outside the house.
"Your Majesty, the two hundred representatives of the senate are waiting outside the door."
"Two hundred?"
Upon hearing this number, Esylian couldn't help but laugh.
"They don't plan on coming in, do they?"
"Your Majesty is wise. They asked me to pass on a message."
"Speak," she said.
"They said that if the governor, who failed in his duty in the gold coin theft case, were not dismissed and even colluded to threaten the Queen, they would let the whole of Elfheim know about this great scandal!"
Although the words were light, they were powerful.
The five governors' expressions changed at the same time, and they all looked behind them in disbelief. The chairman and the manager of the Council of Elders were even more confused than them.
What was going on?
They were only gone for a day, and this group of monkeys had already turned the world upside down.
Only Esylian looked out of the house, her eyes filled with undisguisable admiration.
The first deal was made.
