Chapter 131. A Fair Trade
"Yasuo, do you still want to persist?" Esylian said slowly.
Outside the house were the aggressive elves of the Senate, and inside were the five governors with different thoughts.
The current situation was like a mountain pressing down on everyone's head, and Felix was probably the only one who had an easy time.
Prince Yasuo wasn't as certain as before. The Queen in front of him wasn't alone. She had 200 young senate members supporting her.
Were the elves crazy?
Prince Yasuo couldn't understand.
Why did they have to cause trouble at this time?
According to the rules, the Senate had one vote, the Council of Elders had one, and the other four governors had one vote each. There were six votes in total.
Among them, only two governors were his allies, and he could also fight for the Council of Elders. The rest were on the opposite side, so the best situation was a draw of three to three.
However, the Queen was not willing to see such a situation.
The situation was not good.
He looked at Alaite and suddenly had a plan.
If that was the case, as long as he pulled Alaite into the water, wouldn't he be able to guarantee a 3:2 win?
Moreover, he and Alaite could be temporary allies. If Alaite tried his best to protect himself, he could also benefit.
With this in mind, Prince Yasuo immediately went all out.
He straightened his neck and said, "Your Majesty, I admit I have made an unforgivable mistake in this matter, but I don't think I should bear the responsibility alone!"
"Oh?"
The corners of Esylian's mouth lifted slightly.
She naturally knew who Yasuo was targeting.
"What do you think, Alaite?"
What else could Alaite do?
All he wanted to do now was to curse!
He was thinking about how to deal with it when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Felix's small movements.
The fat merchant extended a finger.
What did that mean?
Does he want to sacrifice Alaite for Yasuo?
He followed the finger and looked over. Alaite was so scared that his soul almost left his body!
Felix pointed at a corner where dark purple light was flowing through the cracks of the bricks.
That light was the symbol of the shadow servant, and Alaite swore he would never be mistaken!
Moreover, there was something wrong with that position!
This room was a living room in name, but in reality, there was a secret passage leading underground.
On one hand, he was the director behind the scenes of the Morgenlight Chamber of Commerce. On the other, he was the largest shareholder of the slave breeding base.
This passage was one of the entrances to the secret base.
If this matter weren't blown up, the Queen would turn a blind eye. But once it was, and the Light Elf slaves were discovered, he would be in serious trouble!
Moreover, there was also the dark purple light.
What was the Dawn Family?
One of the 14 apostles!
What was a shadow servant?
The Dark Elf Queen's death warriors!
When the shadow servant profession was first born, they had been sent to the surface to assassinate the traitors of the apostles. This was a f*cking threat to his life! It was impossible not to panic.
Felix's hint was overflowing, and only then did Alaite realize what "the dark rose will bloom again" meant.
The other party didn't just want the chaos in Elfheim. Were they going to bring the Royal Dark Elves back to the surface?
Then...
Alaite knelt with a plop.
One for one!
He has decided!
Isn't it just proof of allegiance?
"Your Majesty, I think Prince Yasuo is right. He shouldn't be the only one to bear the responsibility. I am also in the wrong. Please dismiss me from my governor position as well!"
Esylian was stunned.
Prince Yasuo was dumbfounded.
The others were also at a loss.
What was going on?
Alaite! Do you have any shame?
What the hell was this self-righteous attitude of forcefully exchanging one for one?
After a brief moment of shock, Esylian was the first to react. She narrowed her eyes.
"That would be great."
She stood up and called for the Sunfire Guards. Immediately, two elves came in and put on the spirit shackles for the two princes. The two suddenly became as dispirited as ordinary people.
The Queen waved her hand.
"Bring them to the Root of the Tumor and let the group of young people follow."
"Yes."
The Sunfire Guards left with the two former governors.
Prince Yasuo was still strongly doubting his life, but Alaite looked at Felix with a complicated expression.
He had a premonition.
The storm was coming.
...
After the two left, the others in the room seemed to have woken up from a dream.
After that, some elves fell into great shock, and some minds began to wander.
They were speculating about the possibility of their return and also considering if they could place their own men in this position.
It was the place of a governor!
With a glance, Esylian understood everything.
However, the more she knew, the colder her heart felt.
It was sad and cold like ice.
This group of power-hungry elves had forgotten the disappearance of the 1.5 billion gold coins from Elfheim. They immediately began to hover over the bodies of their companions like vultures.
These people...
The Queen was exhausted.
At this moment, Felix raised his head as if he had something to say.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if you are satisfied with this deal?"
Esylian smiled.
Since he had said so, there was no doubt that Alaite's abnormal behavior was related to him.
She had thought it was her "response," but now it seemed it was someone else's "bid."
From the moment Felix had reminded her that this was a deal, she had been thinking about his intentions.
The reason why he threw the demonic sword at Prince Yasuo's house is not to frame him but to give her a reason to make a fuss.
At the same time, it was also his instruction.
He pointed his sword at Prince Yasuo, meaning he would attack him.
Esylian did as she was told.
After all, the other party had 1.5 billion gold coins in their hands. She had to do something to show her sincerity.
However, things got troublesome soon after. It was the sudden appearance of the senate members and Alaite's abnormal behavior that allowed the transaction to continue.
In other words, the other party's offer was higher than her response.
She had to increase the price.
Esylian looked at Felix.
The fat merchant's eyes were not on her face but on a corner of the room.
The Elven Queen was not strong. She was only a level 60 mage.
She was strong because of the elven godly equipment she had inherited. A crown, a scepter, four rings, a necklace, an earring, a brooch, a belt, a long dress... They were all divine artifacts.
She was armed to the teeth!
Besides, there was also a holy tree behind her. It contained the extra energy from the creation of this world and could almost be regarded as infinite.
That was why she was almost invincible in the forest heart and Greenland.
However, her perception was not invincible.
She could not sense Char's presence.
However, if she still couldn't understand Felix's almost explicit gaze, she wouldn't be herself.
"All of you may leave. Rest for an hour," the Queen said. "We'll discuss how to deal with the mess left by the two governors who were dismissed. Also, tell the young people outside that the Council of Elders is dissolved. Hand over the power to them and the future of Elfheim.
The president of the Council of Elders stopped in his tracks. He was about to throw a fit when he was stopped by a prince.
The prince desperately hinted at him with his gaze, and he finally calmed down.
The Queen did not need them to vote at all.
Moreover, it was also an explanation for the people in the Senate.
However, he suddenly realized that without the two governors, the Queen's power seemed to have lost its balance.
"The sky is about to change," He muttered.
