Chapter 1646: How Do You Do, Princess

Helena stood on a platform in the Starry Cave.

10-odd elves stood at the bottom of the platform with their heads lowered.

"I will give you three days' time. Find me Vincent's son even if you have to dig into the ground," Helena said in a cold voice.

"Yes," all the elves answered fearfully, and quickly strode off after they got permission to leave.

"Vincent does have a good son. He simply won't let us elves have any peace."

"Isn't that so? I thought it was over after Irina got all those lowly slaves away. I didn't expect him to kill so many lords alone."

"Go and find him quickly while he's injured. We don't know who will be the next after he recovers."

The elves quickly left after chatting for a while.

Elliot stood at the bottom of the platform, and, trying to butter Helena up, smilingly said to her, "Don't worry, Great Elder. The Wind Forest has entered a total lockdown. He won't be able to escape."

Borg was dead, and even though Sally's conferring ceremony was interrupted, she still became the new elven princess.

Hence, Elliot's identity and status rose as well. He was already the most popular person in front of Helena, and he behaved as if he was already the number two among the elves.

Helena's gaze landed on Elliot as she said with a faint smile, "You won't be able to find peace if he is alive. You did a lot for Vincent's death."

Elliot's expression froze, but he quickly said with a smile, "Vincent betrayed the elves and tried to attack you. He deserved to die. Meanwhile, that son of his is no better, either, so he's not going to live for long."

"Since he can't escape, then we have to prevent others from rescuing him. Given Irina's character, she would definitely come to rescue him if she knew." Helena retracted her gaze.

"Information on him is definitely not going to get out. Moreover, we have done complete preparation. If Irina dares to come, she will never get to leave," Elliot replied confidently.

"Is this letter from Sally?" Irina said with surprise as she tossed away the letter that was already burnt to ashes.

"I should have told you before that she was the restaurant's service staff member for a period of time." Mag nodded.

"Blour and she had an engagement. However, when Vincent died from the combined attack, one of his attackers was Elliot," Irina said with furrowed brows. "So, she still chose to save Blour and protect him."

"She is a good girl. I'm very sure of that." Mag nodded.

"You are very sure again?"

"Ahem… The number one criterion that the restaurant focuses on when selecting its employees is their character. I employed her then because of that." Mag cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment before he continued, "Therefore, we only need to follow the deployment map that she sent us, avoid those areas that are heavily guarded, and rendezvous with Blour at her abode. Then, we can evacuate from there straight away."

"It sounds very simple and not challenging at all." Irina pursed her lips with disinterest.

"Since Sally has decided to help Blour, then we should make sure that this incident wouldn't affect her. Compared to others, I feel that the outcome will be rather good if the elves are ruled by her eventually," Mag said with a smile.

"Then, we have to kill her father first," Irina seriously said. "Although I didn't want to be the queen, there are many people who are eyeing that position. Elliot already can't wait to learn from Borg."

"It's not wrong to say that, but it still sounds rather weird." Mag sighed. They would have to face this problem sooner or later, and he wondered what the situation would be like then.

Ah Zi's speed was extremely fast. They reached the borders of the Wind Forest in less than two hours when it flew at its top speed.

"Ah Zi, keep your aura and fly higher," Mag ordered.

The purple-striped griffin's flying altitude increased immediately. It pierced through the clouds, and continued to fly toward the inner part of the Wind Forest.

After Sally became the new elven princess, she moved out of the Brewster Family's territory, and moved into the princess' palace that was prepared for her specially.

"According to the elves' traditions, the new elven princess would normally move into the cave where the Tree of Life is so she can establish a relationship with it and gain its recognition. Seems like the little tree doesn't allow anyone to move in after I left." Irina chuckled.

"Has this Tree of Life become a spirit?" Mag asked curiously.

"I'm not sure about that, either, but it's indeed spiritual. It can sense many things, and has preferences. In the elven tribe, apart from my mother, I have the best relationship with it."

"Then it most likely has already become a spirit." Mag pulled his lips. It only couldn't talk.

However, tree spirits weren't a rare species in the world. The Tree of Life was deemed as the holy tree of the elves, and after being worshiped for thousands of years, it would be unreasonable if it didn't become a spirit.

Irina looked down, and reminded him, "We have arrived."

"Ah Zi, go down." Mag patted Ah Zi lightly.

The purple-striped griffin changed its forward stance, and began to dash downward silently.

The scenery below became clearer and clearer.

The princess' palace was situated in the middle of the buildings. It was next to the queen's palace, and was in the core area of the elven tribe.

It was already late into the night, but there were bright torches everywhere with elves patrolling every now and then. The defense was very tight.

The purple-striped griffin landed in a dense forest under the cover of the dark night.

"I have already confirmed their location. You will wait here for me," Irina instructed Mag before she disappeared in the direction of the princess' palace.

"Fine. It's great being the chauffeur." Mag reached out to pat Ah Zi that was trying to console him. What else could he do when his wife was too powerful. He couldn't possibly go and cause trouble for her, right?

***

Knock, knock.

A knock came at the door.

Blour grabbed the sword under his pillow instinctively.

A hint of panic flashed through Sally's face, but she swiftly suppressed it. She got up, and replied, "I'm already sleeping. We can leave any discussion to tomorrow."

"I am Irina." A voice spoke at the door.

"Your Highness!"

Surprise appeared on both Blour's and Sally's face at the same time.

Sally turned to look at Blour.

"It's her." Blour nodded. He was completely sure that this was Irina's voice. Apart from worry, there was also a hint of gratification in his eyes.

Sally quickly moved to the door and opened it.

"How are you, Sally?" Irina smiled at Sally at the door.

Sally looked at Irina who was wearing a white dress, and she still looked like the beautiful, proud and powerful princess from the past. She bowed, and said, "How do you do, Princess?"
