"Princess Connie!"
All the orcs exclaimed when they saw the young lady in black who suddenly walked forward.
She had a petite figure, slightly curly hair, and pinkish-white orc ears that stood upright under the light of the fire. That adorable face seemed a little solemn now as she stared at Ferdinand.
Connie's sudden appearance did surprise many orcs. After all, there had been news from the start that Princess Connie and Chief Isaiah had died in the rebellion together.
But now, she was standing here alive and well, and saying such unexpected words to Young Master Ferdinand.
One had to know that Young Master Ferdinand had reprimanded Gary for many of his crimes, and had influenced Gary's trusted aides and the rebel army. Only after killing Gary did he manage to escape from danger, and was about to become the new chief of the Falk Tribe.
"Connie! You're still alive! " Ferdinand was also stunned for a moment when he saw Connie. Then, he excitedly said, "That's great. I was so afraid that I would be the only one left in this world. Luckily, you're still here."
That sincere smile and affectionate gaze all revealed an elder brother's concern for his younger sister. It made one feel emotional and touched.
Yes, Princess Connie was the apple of the Falk Tribe's eye. She was deeply doted on by Chief Isaiah, and was also doted on by Young Master Ferdinand.
Perhaps the things that happened recently had a huge impact on her, and that was why she had such a change.
"This lass …" Auster squinted at Connie with a hint of doubt and danger.
Meanwhile, the chiefs and representatives of the various tribes all kept quiet and observed the situation.
Seems like Connie has also discovered something. Meg looked at Connie's back view, which was clenching her fists tightly, and fell into deep thought. She must have already known that everything would happen if she could hide in the crowd until now.
"I didn't expect her to disguise herself so well. I thought she was an old lady." Camilla's helpless voice sounded from the earpiece.
"Little girl, you even tricked me. Your innate ability is indeed not bad." In the crowd far away, Lex muttered to herself, feeling gratified. However, her gaze towards Ferdinand was filled with doubt. She could sense a familiar aura from him, which made her feel slightly uneasy. However, she could not recall what it was at that moment.
"Ferdinand, don't you feel ashamed when these words come out of your mouth?" Connie looked at Ferdinand, and pursed her lips. "You must be very disappointed that I didn't die, right?"
There was a sudden silence.
Everyone between Connie and Ferdinand had already retreated. The orcs looked at Connie and Ferdinand uneasily, not understanding why the atmosphere between this pair of siblings who had only reunited after going through so much hardship was so strange.
The smile on Ferdinand's face also gradually stiffened, but it quickly changed into a pained expression. He looked at Connie, and said, "It's all Big Brother's fault for not being able to protect you well. If Father and the rest knew about this, they would definitely not forgive me. Connie, don't worry. From today onwards, Big Brother will protect you well. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore."
All the orcs heaved a sigh of relief. Ferdinand was indeed a very gentle and responsible person. Since he was so warm and kind to his sister, he would definitely treat his people like Chief Isaiah.
"Don't pretend to be kind. I saw it in Grandmother's diary." Connie took out a thick parchment book and a piece of bloody cloth from the cloth bag at her waist. She raised it high above her head, and pointed her fair finger at Ferdinand. With reddened eyes, she said, "You are no longer my Big Brother Ferdinand. You were bewitched by the devil, and gave your soul to an evil and terrifying existence! It was you who bewitched Gary and made him lead the troops to rebel and kill everyone in the palace! It was you who bewitched Basil and made him kill Gary! All of this was your scheme!
You used Gary to kill Father, killed Grandmother who saw your scheme, killed my mother, and killed everyone who was familiar with you! You must be very disappointed that I didn't die, right?
Ferdinand, you don't deserve to be the chief of the Falk Tribe! You will make the Falk Tribe be bewitched by the devil like the Urba Tribe back then. We will fall into a frenzy of internal strife, and destroy everything in the end!
I can't … I can't watch you destroy everything that Father protected with all his life! "
There was dead silence at the scene. The orcs looked at the parchment book and the bloody cloth above Connie's head with shock and confusion. Was everything that Princess Connie said true?
"The Urba Tribe …" Billy, the chief of the Blue Sky Tribe, suddenly stood up, and looked at Connie in disbelief. One of his close friends back then was one of the 10th-tier powerhouses in the Urba Tribe.
He had personally rushed to the scene on the day that the Urba Tribe was attacked. The extremely tragic scene would still flash through his mind occasionally. He couldn't imagine what exactly happened there to cause such a horrifying scene.
He almost didn't see a complete corpse. The horrifying wounds seemed to have been torn apart by some wild beast. There wasn't a single survivor in the entire tribe.
What was even more horrifying was the expressions of those corpses. They all had a twisted and horrifying smile on their faces. There was no fear … They were smiling!
This incident shocked the orcs, and the horrifying scene caused quite a bit of panic. Later on, there was news that the Hairless Monk had massacred the Urba Tribe in order to take revenge. Many pieces of evidence were unearthed, and this incident was finally concluded.
However, as someone who had been to the scene and seen those mutilated corpses with his own eyes, Billy had always been suspicious of this conclusion. He couldn't get rid of all his doubts even after the Hairless Monk was captured.
However, according to what Connie said now, the Urba Tribe wasn't massacred by the Hairless Monk. Instead, they were bewitched by the evil god and the devil, which led to a horrifying internal strife. Those bite marks, scattered limbs, and their horrifying expressions after death.
Billy's gaze landed on Gary's corpse on the platform. Yes, it was that corpse with its eyes wide open and a creepy smile on its face.
Billy felt as if his heart was suddenly squeezed, and his breathing became rapid. If all of this was true … Did that mean that the devil really existed?!
"Debbie …" Rex looked at the diary that Connie was holding up high, and clenched his fists tightly. He suddenly understood why he found Ferdinand's aura familiar. The memories that he had purposely buried suddenly surged up. On that horrifying night, the thick black fog above the Urba Tribe had this kind of aura that made people go crazy.
"So that's how it is." Meg's train of thought was also cleared up immediately. He couldn't help but look at Connie's petite back view with heartache. The day and night that they lost contact with her must have been very torturous for her.
"Seems like you were really frightened during this period of time." Ferdinand's expression didn't show the slightest bit of guilt because of Connie's accusation. Instead, he had a pained and self-reproachful expression as he instructed the orc beside him, "Bring Connie away first and take good care of her. I will bring the best doctor to treat her later."
