Chapter 114: Chapter 36: [Fallen] Unlocked! Wouldn’t It Be Satisfying to Corrupt Holiness?

In this world, you could count the number of people who could oppose the Elf Queen on two hands.

"My people~"

The Elf Queen’s voice, full of charm, once again echoed through the air. It was like a spring breeze on the cheek, warm and comforting. She looked upon her people with a benevolent gaze and continued, "Tell me what has transpired during my slumber."

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

The Elf princesses and elders stepped forward one by one to report the affairs of the clan to the Elf Queen. As the Elf Kingdom had long been at peace, with no major internal conflicts, most of these matters were trivial. They could be recounted one by one, even with outsiders present.

Soon, the reports on the trivial matters within the Elf Kingdom were complete. The most crucial moment had arrived.

A green-haired Elf Elder stepped forward and reported to the Elf Queen, "Your Majesty, regarding Princess Beiya Leila giving birth to two female infants, we have been unable to reach a verdict. We ask for Your Majesty’s judgment."

When the Elf Queen heard the news of Beiya Leila giving birth to two female infants, a faint glimmer flashed in her eyes.

"Bring her forward."

"As you command!"

Soon, Beiya Leila, bound in chains, was brought before the Elf Queen.

"My Queen."

Beiya Leila knelt before the Elf Queen, showing her reverence.

When the Elf Queen looked at her, a gentle light filled her eyes. She asked, "Is it true?"

"Mm," Beiya Leila answered with a nod.

After hearing this, the Elf Queen turned her gaze to the green-haired Elf Elder and asked, "What was the Elder Council’s verdict?"

The green-haired Elf Elder replied, "According to the clan rules, Beiya Leila should be expelled from the Elf Race. However, due to her status as a Princess, she is to be imprisoned in the Dark Prison for one hundred years."

"And you?"

The Elf Queen then looked at the two Elf Princesses. Her tone wasn’t asking for their opinions, but rather to understand their thoughts.

"I do not believe such a sentence should be passed. Beiya Leila’s pregnancy was not the result of her coupling with a Foreign Race. Even now, we still do not know the cause." At that moment, Yuluxi stepped forward as promised to defend Beiya Leila.

"Yuluxi, you...!"

Hearing Yuluxi’s words, a group of Elf Elders showed expressions of disbelief.

They never expected Yuluxi to actually choose to defend Beiya Leila, forgoing her judgment.

"Indeed."

Just then, Alina also stepped forward, saying to the Elf Queen, "Your Majesty, I also believe Beiya Leila should not suffer such a harsh punishment. She is innocent."

With both Elf Princesses defending Beiya Leila, a commotion swept through the assembled Elves.

"So, Princess Leila didn’t violate the clan rules?"

"But the facts are right in front of us! Princess Leila did give birth to two female infants!"

"This is unprecedented in the history of the Elf Race! Other than coupling with a Foreign Race, I can’t think of any other reason why Princess Leila would become pregnant."

"Don’t forget, we are all born from the Elf Mother Tree. There could be other possibilities!"

"..."

The Elves erupted into a flurry of discussion, and the scene grew chaotic.

"Silence!"

The Elf Elders immediately stepped forward, shouting to quiet the Elves on the scene.

Afterward, an elderly Elf Elder addressed the Elf Queen, "My Queen, we cannot determine whether Princess Leila’s children were born from a union with a Foreign Race. However, the fact remains that she gave birth to two female infants. Even if she is spared imprisonment, she must be punished. Otherwise, it will be difficult to uphold the ten-thousand-year-old rules of the Elf Race."

"That’s right! The clan rules have been maintained for ten thousand years. How can they be changed for one person?"

"We implore Your Majesty to reconsider!"

A few Elf Elders took the lead, hoping to see Princess Leila judged according to the clan rules.

But the moment they spoke, the Elves who supported Beiya Leila grew agitated and began to protest.

Facing the renewed chaos, the Elf Queen slowly rose to her feet. This simple action immediately silenced the Elves present.

The Elf Queen walked lightly to stand before Beiya Leila. Her turquoise eyes were as deep as the sea, revealing an all-seeing wisdom. She gazed intently at Beiya Leila and asked in a soft voice, "Beiya Leila, what are your daughters’ names?"

Beiya Leila replied softly, "Their names are Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo, Your Majesty."

"Good."

The Elf Queen nodded, then announced to all the Elves in a loud voice, "From this day forward, Beiya Leila is no longer a Princess of the Elf Race. By my authority as Queen, I hereby revoke her title of Princess."

"This..."

Hearing this verdict, the Elves all revealed expressions of shock.

Although it was a lenient sentence compared to being imprisoned in the Dark Prison, the decision was still a heavy punishment for Beiya Leila.

However, the Elf Queen’s proclamation did not end there. She continued, "Furthermore, I have decided that the two Little Elves, Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo, will assume the duties of Princesses of the Elf Race. However, considering their young age, their mother will be responsible for assisting in their duties until they can bear this heavy responsibility independently. If they are unable to fulfill their duties as Princesses upon reaching adulthood, I will find other suitable candidates."

The Elf Queen’s second declaration was like a heavy stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly sending out ripples.

The Elves present were stunned by this sudden decision. They never would have dreamed the Elf Queen would make such a choice! The Queen had actually revoked Beiya Leila’s position as Princess and let her daughters take her place?

It was shocking, but acceptable!

"That’s great! Mother is finally free!" Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo cheered with joy upon hearing the verdict.

At the same time, the Elves all expressed their firm support for the Elf Queen’s decision, shouting in unison, "Long live the Queen!"

"Your Majesty, is this...?" A trace of doubt flickered in the eyes of the elderly Elf Elder, Olivine, but she trailed off, holding her tongue.

"Elder Olivine, do you object to my decision?" The Elf Queen’s voice was light yet majestic, causing Elder Olivine to immediately shut her mouth, daring not to say more.

Su Xuan considered the Elf Queen’s decision to be quite wise; it was undoubtedly a solution that offered the best of both worlds. Aside from a few stubborn Elders, the other Elves were convinced and supportive.

As these thoughts passed through his mind, a notification suddenly appeared in his vision.
