Chapter 179
“Why did you not summon me to the council, Your Majesty?”
Prince Crystal, son of Queen Crystal and brother of the wise elf, spoke.
“Your Highness!”
Amidst the bewilderment, several Snow Elf councilors gasped, while the Dark Elves remained silent.
“How could you choose such a foolish course of action—allowing a mere human to enter our sacred council?”
“……”
Prince Crystal opened his mouth menacingly. Meanwhile, the Frost Watchers behind him radiated an indescribable sense of intimidation.
“You are no exception, child, for entering the council without permission.”
“It is not for you, Old Woman of the Mountain, who cannot even properly execute a single traitor of your own kind, to meddle in this matter. This affair belongs solely to ‘our kingdom’.”
Prince Sujeong spoke without hesitation. At his words, several dark elves froze, while the Old Woman of the Mountain merely smiled serenely.
“No, it’s not that you can’t execute him. It’s that you won’t.”
“Indeed, that is precisely it. Our fairy council has resolved to place the exile Sepia under the protection of the ‘Black Prince,’ following the Blue Magic Tower.”
The mountain crone declared.
“I cannot accept it.”
“……This isn’t something you can accept or reject.”
“Mother!”
At that very moment, the silent Crystal Queen spoke. Prince Crystal raised his voice, as if unable to comprehend.
“Is there any guarantee that the legacy of the old empire within that traitor’s heart won’t fall into the hands of the imperialist elves?!”
