Chapter 653 - Valiant Six ( 654) (1/2)
After reporting everything, Crown Prince Virion left the Assembly House under The Elven King's order. He had done the best; the rest was on his father's shoulders now, convincing The Elder to bow their heads. If this continued, the Elder would ruin their relationship with The Tang Empire.
After the sound of the double door closed, the nine Elders looked toward The Elven King. Six of them showed displeasure on their faces while three Elders calmly waited for The Elven King to speak. The Elven King also observed the nine Elders as he easily read what was in their minds.
One of the Elders could not hold back anymore and opened her mouth. ”King Revalor, I think we should consider the Crown Prince Virion's succession to the throne. From the way I look at it, he is siding with The Tang Empire instead of his kingdom. I think he is not suitable to lead The Elven Kingdom!”
Elder Seriana openly voiced her dissatisfaction with what Virion did just now. From the way, he reported the result of his meeting with The Emperor. The Crown Prince prioritized the Tang Empire instead of the Elven Kingdom. He even threatened them for the Tang Empire.
”I agree with Elder Seriana in this case. As the throne's successor, The Crown Prince should prioritize the Elven Kingdom's interest instead of The Tang Empire. This time, Crown Prince Virion has gone too far.” Another Elder voiced his voice of disagreement.
”In this part, Second Prince Arbane is superior to The Crown Prince. Even though The Second Prince is less mature than the Crown Prince, he is someone who will prioritize The Elven Kingdom over an outsider.” The six Elders voiced their support to push The Second Prince Arbane for the throne after another.
The Elven King Revalor's eyes widened a little bit when he heard those from the Elders. He was not expecting to listen to this right at this moment. But then, he smiled as he scanned the six Elders. 'I see, so you want a puppet king for you guys to control, huh!?'
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!
King Revalor tapped his index finger against the table as he observed the six Elders. These six Elders never planned to bow their heads to The Tang Empire despite their dire situation. The Guardian Beast Kirin was not enough to scare them.
”What about you three?” The Elven King looked at the three Elders, who did not say anything. ”Why don't we hear your opinions before we decide what we will do for our next step?” His index finger did not stop tapping the table as he asked the three Elders.
The three Elders looked at each for a moment before they looked straight at The Elven King. ”We will follow The King's order!” The three replied in unison. The three Elder's answer earned them an unpleasant glare from the other six Elders.
”Good, very good. That's a good choice.” The Elven King suddenly clapped his hands. The dignified aura around The Elven King was replaced with a playful one as he smiled at the six Elders. ”I don't know what in your six Elders' heads are. Or maybe you guys don't have the brain to think?”
The three Elders lowered their heads while the other six Elders were stupefied with the significant change on the Elven King. They could not comprehend the sudden change. They looked at The Elven King with their eyes widened open.
”We are in a dire situation where The Elven Kingdom is facing the downfall if we are making the wrong move, yet you are trying something funny with our kingdom at stake.” The Elven King smiled at the six Elders. ”I don't know if you are brave or a fool? Do you plan to push my second son to the throne and control him as a puppet? Then do you want to attack The Tang Empire from inside when they did not expect it? Catching them off guard? Is that your plan? Do you, six fools, still think that The Elven has a chance to defeat The Tang Empire?”
The six Elders were stunned when those barrages of questions came from The Elven King. That was in their plan, sneaking Elder Aleesa to the Empire., then they supported the Second Prince to take the throne and control the King from the dark. When the right time came, they would strike the Tang Empire from inside. Their target would be The Guardian Beast Kirin and Sir Alton. As for the mysterious Emperor, Aleesa should be able to take him after she charmed him. That was a great plan. At least, the six Elders thought so.
The Elven King's smile disappeared as he massaged the space between his eyes. ”You guys are beyond saving. I can't let you guys harm The Elven Kingdom more than this.”
