“Is that star magic? It must be Mistress Helena!” At the Brewster Family estate, Family Head Elliot turned toward the west with surprise etched on his face. That was Schubert’s territory, and even though it was quite far away, he could still sense some magic waves from afar.

He had only just received news that Princess Irina had emerged from her cave, and now, Mistress Helena had sprung into action. What was going on?

Immediately afterward, brilliant light erupted from the tree of life, lighting up the artificial night.

“Her Highness has become even more powerful. If she hadn’t suffered those injuries three years ago, she should’ve been ready to inherit the queen’s position already.” On the Baibilly Family’s territory, Family Leader Vincent was also looking at the green string of light connecting Irina to the tree of life. Receiving the approval of the tree of life was a prerequisite to becoming the elven queen. Those who were unable to do so did not have the right to become the queen.

“The incident from three years ago dictates that a battle between the princess and Mistress Helena is inevitable. I wonder what the result will be and whom the queen will side with this time. As for the young mistress from the Brewster Family, as long as the queen doesn’t give upon on Princess Irina, she has no hope at all.” Vincent fell into deep thought as his brows furrowed.

In the Wind Forest, countless elves looked on with anxiety and anticipation in their hearts.

The revered high priestess and great elder of the elven race, Mistress Helena, was facing off against the widely loved Princess Irina. A clash between the two of them would surely play a great role in deciding the direction the elven race would take in the future.

However, most of the elves didn’t know why a conflict had erupted between the two of them, escalating to the extent that they were now locked in battle.

Only the elves in front of the Krol Family’s castle knew what was going on.

After killing Schubert, Irina didn’t back down against Helena’s interrogation. Instead, she issued a challenge.

Mistress Helena was second in power only to the queen herself. She had already become a great magic caster 500 years ago, and she had turned the tides of several major battles during the war among species.

In contrast, Princess Irina had traveled across the entire Norland Continent, creating many legends in the process. She hadn’t even reached 30 years of age yet, but she was already one of the most powerful great magic casters on the continent. At present, there was a beam of green light injecting itself into her body, bestowing her with additional power and vitality.

This was a clash between star magic and holy light magic, a confrontation between light and darkness. Both sides displayed incredible power, and even the members of the Krol Family had all fallen silent.

Everyone looked on with bated breath, awaiting the commencement of this epic battle. No one could predict the result, and no one dared to imagine what kind of bearing the result of the battle would have on the entire elven race.

“Now’s not the time for infighting. Our enemies have had their eyes on our Wind Forest for a long time, and this land will be ravaged by war again if they take this opportunity to invade.”

A gentle voice drifted through the air.

The darkness in the sky dissipated, revealing the sun once again. At the same time, the green strand of light was severed, and the dazzling light emanating from the tree of life also vanished.

In the air above the Krol Family’s castle, a silver-haired elf in a set of golden robes appeared. She wore a golden crown with a blue gemstone at its center, and was extremely beautiful. It was impossible to tell her age with a look as she had the purity of a 12 or 13 year old, the youthful energy of a 17 or 18 year old, the mature allure of a 30-year-old young woman, and also the gentle air of a 40-year-old woman. Everyone was struck by a different feeling as they set their eyes on her, but there was a universal sense of holiness that cleansed everyone’s hearts.

Soft golden light enshrouded her entire body, and she wore a gentle sympathetic smile on her face. Her blue eyes were clear and bright as if she could see through all things in this world.

“Your Majesty!”

All of the elves half-knelt to the ground in a respectful manner.

Even from afar, where the elves could only hear the elven queen’s voice but not see her, they still half-knelt on the ground in the direction of the Krol Family estate as a sign of reverence.

“Your Majesty.” Irina stowed away her staff and bowed her head.

“Your Majesty.” Helena hesitated momentarily, but she also put away her wand in the end as she bowed to the queen.

The elven queen nodded and raised a hand, upon which an invisible burst of gentle power helped all of the kneeling elves to their feet. Her gentle touch was felt throughout the entire Wind Forest, evoking a sense of warmth in everyone’s hearts.

“Your Majesty, Princess Irina killed Family Leader Schubert for no good reason; please uphold justice for our Krol Family.” Schubert’s brother stepped forward and fell to his knees again. He looked up at the elven queen with a grief-stricken expression, with Schubert’s lifeless body right next to him.

“Please uphold justice for us, Your Majesty!” All of the Krol Family members also fell to their knees again with sorrow etched on their faces.

The elven queen took a sympathetic glance at Schubert’s body. She gently raised a finger and a beam of green light fell upon him. The blood on his body and the ground disappeared, and his head was also restored to its normal state. However, he was still dead-even the elven queen couldn’t revive someone already dead.

“Irina, why did you kill him?” The elven queen’s voice was still quite gentle, but there was a hint of interrogation in her eyes.

“He deserved to die. You know I would never kill a good person.” Irina looked into the elven queen’s eyes with an earnest and stubborn expression.

The elven queen’s expression stirred slightly upon hearing that, and she fell silent.

“What gives you the right to say that? Schubert has contributed greatly to our elven race, and dedicated his entire life to creating a better world for his brethren. Princess Irina, you have to provide a more detailed explanation rather than just a subjective opinion. Even as the princess, you can’t kill our officials without any good reason.” Helena turned to Irina with eyes as sharp as those of a falcon.

“You want an explanation? Sure, I’ll give you one.” Irina looked back at her with a mocking smile. She pointed at the sniveling elven servants, and said, “During the years in which Schubert has been in power, he has set up all types of strict laws and implemented countless cruel torture methods. He forcibly introduced a hierarchy system, and released the so-called elven laws. The free fairies were somehow reduced to slaves for the major families. They’ve been forced to do manual labor against their will, they’ve been stripped of their freedom, and they’ve had to serve others, only for their dignity to be stomped into the ground in return. They live lives that are more painful than death, but they have no choice, as the slightest hint of resistance shown will result in them being locked up and tortured.”
