Chapter 652 - The Elvens Reaction (1/2)
Crown Prince Virion separated with Lusha and her team. He and the three Elven hostages immediately went back to Elven's territory. They traveled within the maximum since the hostages were fine. They did not suffer any forms of torture and were not starved either, so Virion just went back at full speed.
As soon as he returned, The Elven King and the nine Elders were waiting for him. The Elven King Revalor noticed that Aleesa was not his son, and the hostages returned safely. It was clear that The Emperor accepted their conditions, and Aleesa immediately stayed with The Emperor.
Revalor was not surprised by that since Aleesa was the prettiest even amongst the Elven. The human Emperor must get captivated by her and agreed with the condition, why Aleesa volunteered by herself. Because she knew that her charm was irresistible. If it was a spoiled Elven Princess, there was a chance that the Human Emperor would refuse the condition.
However, if their conditions were accepted, that meant the Guardian Beast Kirin was following the Human Emperor, and the Green Sky Serpent was dead. That was bad for sure, meaning they did not have any other choices but the Empire's vassal.
”You three go to Orina's house for a further check-up!” King Revalor ordered the three hostages to go before looking at his son. ”Virion! You follow me to the assembly house!” After saying that, The Elven King turned around and headed toward a direction. The nine elders followed the Elven King, and Virion followed from the back.
Even though they named it Assembly House, it was just a simple and small house. A house with only a long table with eleven seats. The Elven King sat at the honored seat while the Elven Elders took the remaining seat. There was one empty seat, and it was supposed to be the youngest Elder's seat, Aleesa.
The atmosphere in the room was quite grim as the nine Elders gazed at The Crown Prince with an intense gaze. Crown Prince Virion was standing at the other side of the table, facing The Elven King.
The Elven King raised his head and met with his son's eyes. ”So, have you confirmed everything? We want to hear the report, Crown Prince Virion!” Revalor's dignified voice broke the silence.
”Yes, I have confirmed The Guardian Beast Kirin is real, and I have met her. I also heard from Kalliyan directly that Sir Suvan is dead, and Emperor Tang killed him.” The Crown Prince reported. The Elven King was not surprised by this, but the Nine Elders were surprised by this. That was because The Elders did not believe that The Guardian Beast followed a human.
”Emperor Tang? Is that his name?” The Elve King asked. The Crown Prince nodded his head. ”Sir Alton told me The Emperor's name, and his name is Lord Tang Shaoyang.” By saying that, The Crown Prince also told the Elven King and the nine Elders that Alton had surrendered to The Tang Empire.
The nine Elders seemed to have a hard time believing the report. They looked at each other as murmurs broke out amongst them. The Elven King tapped the table. ”Stop with the chatter. Let Crown Prince Virion finish his report. If you have something to ask, then ask! Don't be like kids, talking by yourself when we are in the Assembly House!”
