Back on Elfira.
Imdiately after eliminating the four elders, Typhania only left the second Elder, Gracier's father, alive; the latter was trembling, he still did not dare to look up.
''You firstly abandoned them, she went through hell, yet you never appeared; however, now that she got a pure bloodline that could serve your greed, you want to take her back, but how? By kidnapping her. You have fallen too low, Faranal. Ti to suffer from your greed.''
Typhania decided to punish the man before the rest of the elders could co as it would be troubleso if they decided to interfere. Flicking her fingers, vines appeared and wrapped around Elder Faranal like a cocoon before he was dragged to God knows where.
Imdiately following Elder Faranal's disappearance, Typhania disappeared as well.
In the sa room used by Stefania and Rhea in their last eting, Typhania appeared; imdiately, the siblings kneeled.
''We welco the Eternal Empress!!"
''Rise,'' Typhania ordered as she sat in the highest seat; the Elfied siblings stood and sat as well.
''Not bad, you two have grown up well,'' Typhania said as she seized up the two, the last ti she saw them, they were little kids. 'Ti sure past fast.' The empress thought.
Stefania and Rhea lowered their heads, feeling embarrassed; the playful Rhea beca docile all of a sudden; only one person could make her behave like this, and it was none other than Typhania who adopted them, letting them use her family na.
''So mind you telling what you two are doing for the situation to escalate as it did?" Typhania's gentle tone changed to a harsher one.
''ntor, more than half of the council, followed them; there's nothing we could do. By the ti we noticed what was going on, it was already too late.''
Stefania was the one to talk, Rhea wished to say sothing as well, but unlike her sister, she was not well gifted when it cos to stuff like that.
''I see. If you were vigilant enough, you would have noticed. I shall deal with you two later. For now, let's take care of the annoying part first.'' Typhania said and looked past the door at the approaching elders, and soon five n and won entered; they bowed their heads.
''Welco back, Empress-"
''Cut to the chase. Before you even started complaining that I was harsh in my punishnt, I can only say, sothing you ought to be ruthless in letting the others know better not ssed up with you. How dare you. When I sacrificed everything to your god damn prophecy and while I was suffering thinking of my people, you lots are calmly plotting behind my back.''
Facing Typhania's outburst, none of the five n and won could say anything. Typhania indeed sacrificed everything; people didn't know anything though she disappeared after that battle where humanity lost; however, the truth was that the first elder at that ti, alongside so other people, prophesied the one capable of ending the war once for all.
Only Typhania was the only one capable of doing the mission; she established a guild, created a lot of things just for the sake of her mission; it was no wonder she got furious that so asshole tried to plot behind her back.
''Although the empress's fury is legit, it's not a reason to slaughter five elders; high Elves are rare. We-" The third elder, an elderly man, tried to talk but imdiately shut up after Typhania glared at him.
''I don't care about what you have to say as I had already taken my decision. I killed four elders while the main perpetrator was sent to Abyss Forest.''
The mont Typhania announced this, everyone inside the eting room trembled as they couldn't be more familiar with this Abyssal Forest; it was the hell prison on the Elven continent, criminals who were sent there never ca back. Rumor has it that prisoners of Abyssal Forest serve as nourishnt to the Tree of Life.
The tree of Life keeps them alive to constantly suck their blood; it was a nightmare-like situation. Nobody managed to escape from this prison.
Gulp!
It would have been better if Elder Faranal was killed than to be sent to this hellish prison. The Five elders couldn't help but pity him. Those among the five elders who had once thought of switching sides imdiately changed their minds as none of them wanted to be sent down there.
''Relax, although the council has five free places, I have already selected qualified n to take over these positions. As you have noticed, ti is changing; a war is slowly approaching. We must be united to face and overco adversaries. I want what happened to be an example to learn from. The five I have selected will co from other Elves as well. It's ti to change.
Changes have never been wrong. Elves will be united as a whole and fight in the incoming fight. I hope you will support or are there any objections?"
Silence.
The First Elder, the eldest of the five elders, stepped forward, he curtsied.
''The empress is wise. We will follow your suggestion. I want to know if the Eighth is the man said in the prophecy?"
''He is. Don't worry. I have talked with him, and he promised to help us. You must know that Gracier, Elder Faranal daughter, is his sister. It's thanks to him taking her as a sister that her bloodline beca purer. So imagine what would happen if you make that man your enemy?
He is ruthless, especially when it cos to his sister. Be his friend, and you shall enjoy a peaceful life; however, turn into his enemy, and you shall suffer endless tornt. Do not forget that he has a strong master whom even I can't see through; she's probably peak Demigod expert.''
Everyone gulped; demi-god existences are extrely rare, so hearing that the boy from the prophecy has one made them gulp firstly due to fear, secondary because this person they will have one helper in the incoming war.
''Alexander loves Elven culture. He decided to visit Elfira after graduation, so we must show him how united and great we are. Understood?"
''Certainly Eternal Empress.'' Everyone nodded, and Typhania smiled.
Stefania glanced at her ntor and, at the sa ti, mother and shook her head; she got them all. She planned everything from the start, indeed the wise and terrifying Eternal Empress, the greatest empress ever.
