“You’re going too far!”

After pouring water in, the elf who holed up inside the cave was forced to come out . She shook her hand out and fired yet several more arrows . I walked straight into them, completely disregarding them . Failing to hurt me, her teeth chattered . She leapt back and loudly shouted, “What are you?! Why are my attacks useless against you?! Aah!!”

I slammed the girl into an invisible wall with a loud thud as if she crashed into a tree trunk . After spinning her around several rotations, I grabbed her cloak and pulled her back .

“Aaaaahh!!”

She shrieked as she tried to escape, but I overpowered her without breaking a sweat . She shook her cloak off then spun around in a fl.u.s.tered fas.h.i.+on to try and attack me with her dagger . Unfortunately for her, it didn’t do nothing but leave a scratch on my neck . I then punched her in the face hard enough to flip her over .

“That hurts!!”

“You look as though you’re a kid . Why did you do that?”

I grabbed her lower back picked her up from the ground with one hand . She wasn’t big in stature . She was just a kid . I would be convinced if I was told that she was the young version of Lucia . She had glimmering blue eyes, but they were different to Mom’s darker shade of blue . She looked around the age of a middle schooler . She was struck hard twice, but she didn’t quit . She kept wriggling in an attempt to break free .

“Be a good girl . You’re just a kid . We won’t be rude to a kid . Of course, the most important thing is your att.i.tude . Not only have you conducted forbidden experiments, you even attacked us . This is no longer a simple prank . ”

“I! Did! Not! Let! Go! Of! Me!”

“Fine . ”

I tossed her onto the ground . She cried out and before planting into the ground . Mommy Vyvyan, expression wrathful, walked up to her . I knew why she was so violent . Under normal circ.u.mstances, Mom wouldn’t be so violent, especially toward a girl . However, the girl attacked me more than once .

“Y-Your Highness?!” She slowly raised her head to look at Mommy Vyvyan . Her eyes dilated as if they were standing vertical due to fear .

Mom looked at her with a cold look: “I don’t know who you are or what you’re trying to do, but you violated my orders . You trespa.s.sed into a zone I deemed forbidden, conducted forbidden experiments and attacked us . Combined, those crimes are plenty enough of a reason for me to kill you . ”

“I… I… I…”

“If you sincerely acknowledge your wrongdoings, and show regret from the bottom of your heart, as the Elven Queen, I can forgive you; after all, you are just an ordinary kid . I can forgive you for a prank void of ill-will . That said, it only applies if you acknowledge your wrongdoings and apologise now!”

“I…”

The young girl was so frightened that she was lost for words . All she did was lie on the ground in tremble . I let out a heavy sigh: “All you have to do is sincerely admit to your wrongdoings . You didn’t do anything outrageous, but there are several questions you must answer . First, what is your goal? Second, why did you come here? Third, where exactly did you get these things from? Why did you get those things from the dark elves place? What are you trying to do?”

“I… umm… I… umm… What exactly am I…”

“Tell the truth . ” Mom aggressively stomped her foot, frightening the young girl speechless .

I let out a hopeless breath . I looked over to Mom and said, “She’s just a kid at the end of the day . Mom, you don’t need to be so tense . ”

Mom looked over to me and sternly replied, “Son, an arrow fired by a fourteen year old elven kid is just as lethal as an arrow fired by a forty year old elf . As this girl has committed these unforgivable deeds, it’s totally possible for her to commit worse deeds . You can’t judge if an elf is worthy of your sympathy or not based on their age . Furthermore, based on what she’s done, I think that, while she is unwilling to honestly admit to her crimes, as long as we have proof, it’s more appropriate to just kill her . ”

I knew Mom was serious as she had already prepared a fireball and ice picks . She was ready to attack at the drop of a hat . I argued, “I don’t think we should, Mom . Regardless of what the case is, she doesn’t appear to be a treacherous girl . She’s probably frightened right now . It’s better for us to let her relax . ”

“Mommy doesn’t want to argue, but tonight is a full-moon night . If we don’t learn the truth now, it might be too late after night falls . ”

“Wouldn’t it be impossible for us to find out if we kill her…? We should wait, at least, until…”

I looked up at the sky . The last ray of sunlight had disappeared . The entire interior of the forest was enveloped in darkness . I s.p.a.ced out as I looked at the sky .

I gazed at the huge moon . Nightfall was just around the corner . Today was the most special day for elves . It was when elves were at their strongest . It was the day where their ancient blood erupted . That didn’t apply just for elves but every creature with magic…

“Hahahahaha!!!”

The instant the moonlight shone down, a bold smile surfaced on the girl’s face…

Current time inside the Elven Imperial Palace .

“What’s the matter? What’s the matter?!! What happened?! What’s that loud sound?! What exactly happened?!”

The guards looked at the birds that flew off due to fright while in panic themselves . The ground beneath their feet began to tremble as if an earthquake struck . The guards had no idea what happened . They were thinking about whether or not they’d get to go home for some sleep tonight . After all, they wanted to relax, too; however, the last place they expected to be disturbed, the Queen’s flower garden in her backyard, was engulfed in anarchy . To make matters worse, it looked as though a cavalry group was charging toward them!

“It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault!!”

Mom and I went back to back . We watched the blood-red eyes closing in all around us step by step . On the other side was a bold smile .

“Now, now, accept our rage . Accept my rage, the dark elves’ rage and the entire forest’s rage!!!”
