All of the elves outside the castle had stood obediently off to the side, just like all of the guests, thinking that the princess was only looking for Schubert.
However, at the sight of the golden and green staff in Irina's hand, as well as the words that she had just said, all of them were stunned and confused, thinking that they had misheard.
"Did the princess just say that she's going to kill Master Schubert?"
All of the guests who came out with her widened their eyes in disbelief as they looked at Irina who was standing at the top of the tree. Was the princess, who had been silent for three years, going to do such a shocking thing when she reappeared?
Schubert's expression also changed slightly, but he quickly composed himself as he turned to Irina with a smile on his face. "Your Highness, what crime have I committed? Why do you want to take my life? I'm the elven chief enforcer now, and you have no right to kill me without a warrant from Her Majesty. Your Highness, you haven't left the cave for three years, so I'm afraid you have some misunderstandings about me. If there's anything you want to say, you can go to Mistress Helena and Her Majesty and explain it to them. Don't be a laughingstock to our brethren. "
"If I want to kill someone, I don't need anyone's permission." Irina pointed her staff at Schubert, and said in a cold voice, "Besides, you're the chief enforcer; do you think you're the king? All of our elven brethren were born from the Tree of Life, and we're all equal; how can scum like your Krol Family insult and order us around? Just for that alone, you deserve to die. "
All of the Krol Family members' expressions changed drastically upon hearing this. If the elven princess was here for this, then what were they supposed to do aside from their family leader?
All of the elves who had been enslaved by the Krol Family immediately looked up at Irina with glowing eyes as if they had seen their savior. The princess was just as dazzling as ever, and it was as if there were light emanating from her body.
"Listen to Her Royal Highness! She really is here to change everything! " In the hall of the castle, the elf sitting on the ground rose to his feet in an agitated manner before quickly making his way over to the door with sobs in his voice.
"Am I dreaming? Could it be that the princess has heard our prayers, or is the Tree of Life conveying our pain to her? "The dancer who had spoken earlier also wore an agitated expression.
"The hierarchy of the elven race has already been established, and it's virtually impossible to eradicate it … Even the princess most likely won't be able to do that," the tall elf said in a quiet voice. Her Highness was the only one who could hear her own voice, but she was already looking at the door with anticipation. Perhaps the princess would be able to make a miracle happen. After all, she was such a legend.
"I've, the elven princess of Her Majesty, the elven princess, Her Her Majesty's, Her Majesty, Her Majesty to to the elven race. Not only our Krol Family, but the Baibilly Family, the Brewster Family, the North Family … all of them have also benefited from Her Majesty's gifts. At the same time, we've made the elven race even more prosperous and powerful. Your Highness, do you want to kill them all and destroy the entire elven race as well? "Schubert looked at Irina with a mocking smile on his face, clearly not fearful of her in the slightest.
The elven race had been divided into different classes for several decades, and this had already taken shape. His Krol Family was part of this trend, and no matter how powerful Irina was, she wouldn't be able to stop this trend. The entire elven race had already been divided up by several major families, including the royal family. Was she going to kill everyone in the elven race?
All of the guests and members of the Krol Family heaved a collective sigh of relief upon hearing this. It was just as Schubert had said; this was a common occurrence in the elven race. The Krol Family was only one of the most powerful families in the elven race; there were also several other major families and countless smaller families that made up the hierarchy of the elven race. All of the weaker elves who didn't have families to rely on were reduced to the lowest level of servants.
This was already a mature social system, and it wasn't something that could be resolved by killing one or two people.
Perhaps the elves had once been free and liked to live an unrestrained life, but after enjoying the pleasure of power, it was impossible for them to return to their previous state.
If Irina insisted on doing this, then she would be the one to be destroyed, not the major families.
Even if she was the princess of the elven race, she still wouldn't be able to do it.
All of the oppressed elves lowered their heads with dejected expressions. If even the princess couldn't change this situation, then they would most likely have to endure being oppressed and enslaved for the rest of their lives.
In the past, they would roam freely in The Wind Forest, collecting dew, picking wild fruits, and resting on trees when they were tired. However, those days of freedom would no longer exist, and they would forever be oppressed and humiliated.
"I'm not in a hurry to kill them, but you must die today." Irina's expression became colder and colder as she looked at all of the elves with their heads bowed. She pointed her staff at Schubert as she said in a cold voice, "Light Binding!"
A semi-transparent golden ball of light flew out from the golden crystal ball at the tip of her staff before vanishing. In the blink of an eye, it appeared right in front of Schubert before crashing down toward him.
"Your Highness, Mistress Helena and Her Majesty definitely won't tolerate what you're doing. I advise you to stop as soon as possible. You're only a princess now, not a queen." Schubert also spoke in a cold voice. He was also a great magic caster, so he reacted quite quickly. A green wand appeared in his hand, and he said in a grim voice, "Light Shield of Wood!"
A green curved shield of light appeared in front of him, completely shielding his body behind it. The golden ball of light crashed into the green shield of light, and it enveloped Schubert like a bubble. However, it was kept at bay by the green shield of light, so it didn't shrink.
Hibbert glanced at the light shield that enveloped his body. He didn't sense any offensive power, so he didn't bother about it for the time being. At the same time, he chanted, "Wood-Elemental spirits of the world, please heed my call. Gather in front of me, transform into stars, and destroy all enemies!"
Following Schubert's incantation, a massive green vortex appeared in the air above the castle. Countless wood elements in The Wind Forest surged toward the vortex in a relentless stream, and the green color became more and more pronounced. At the same time, it began to rotate rapidly, sweeping up violent gale-force winds. Streaks of shimmering golden light flashed within the vortex, as if something were about to descend.
"That's Master Schubert's ultimate forbidden spell, Forest Star Rain!" someone exclaimed.
All of the elves hurriedly retreated upon hearing that. Irina's sudden attack had caught everyone by surprise, and Schubert had also unleashed his most powerful spell from the get-go. This was most likely going to be a massive battle.
