Chapter 706: Chapter 565: The Responsibility of the Boundary Monument

Once some crafty individuals heard the news, they immediately began to spread rumors. They claimed the Boundary Monument was never meant to be moved in the first place and that Princess Elsa’s insistence on showing off led to the destruction of the monument, and thus, Princess Elsa should be held responsible for this incident.

This rumor quickly spread among commoners, and some officials even submitted proposals to the council, demanding a comprehensive investigation into the incident and Elsa’s involvement. Selena tried to convince Elsa to explain herself to the public on multiple occasions, but Elsa completely ignored her.

In Elsa’s own words, "Whether they believe me or not is their business, what does it have to do with me?"

After some time of the spreading rumor, the independent investigation team established by the royal family finally returned from the site of the Boundary Monument, announcing authoritative news: The fault in the monument had been an underlying issue for a decade due to a maintenance worker’s carelessness, causing an energy circuit overload. In his desire to evade responsibility, he had recklessly attempted to repair it himself. The part he repaired failed again and, this time, it is almost impossible to fix. The maintenance worker had since died in a battle against the Ghost Spirits.

The case closed with this.

The rumor that framed Elsa was subsequently dispelled.

However, if Elsa had merely accepted the allegations without taking any action, that would not be Elsa.

So, one afternoon in the most bustling street in the Heaven Realm, almost everyone witnessed the following scene:

A Celestial Clan member, whose wings had already been severed, leaving only half of each, was trying desperately to run forward using both hands and feet. Elsa, in her white robe, was holding a Light Sword, her face expressionless, tracing him step by step.

Elsa wasn’t moving fast, but her determination instilled a sense of despair in others.

"Please, I beg of you, Princess Elsa, don’t kill me! I’m just a nameless foot soldier! All this was ordered by First Prince Sajia!"

The Celestial Clan member was screaming, frantically scrambling forward.

"Who gave the order isn’t the point. The key is you willingly obeyed his order, and you must have benefited from it. Since you were willing to carry out his command, you should naturally be prepared for the consequences, right?" Elsa responded coldly.

"No! I wasn’t prepared! I’m afraid to die! I’m really scared of dying! You’re a princess, why do you have to torment me, a mere wretch? Why don’t you kill the one who commanded me? You... you bully the weak!"

Perhaps realizing that he was not going to escape, the man turned around and yelled at Elsa.

"Look, even at this moment, you are still trying your best to frame me. Now tell me, why you shouldn’t be executed?" Elsa replied and laughs.

Upon hearing this, the man gave himself a hard slap and cried out, "Princess Elsa, please, don’t kill me! It really was First Prince Sajia who ordered me to do this!"

"So if you say it is, then it is? You like to falsely accuse others so much, who knows if this isn’t one of your plots? Trying to put the blame on others again?"

"It’s true! It’s really the order of the First Prince!" The man found some hope through Elsa’s words and even took a few steps forward, "That day, the First Prince heard about the Boundary Monument and immediately ordered me to spread rumors about you!"

"Really?"

"Absolutely!"

Elsa laughed, the Light Sword in her hand disappeared. She looked up and saw First Prince Sajia landed slowly with a few people accompanying him.

Sajia knew Elsa had a knack for making small matters big, but he didn’t expect Elsa to be unafraid of humiliating the royal family!

A few minutes earlier, Sajia was dining with his closest aides at a nearby restaurant. This restaurant, located in the busiest area, overlooked the crowd, giving Sajia a sense of being close to his people.

However, the sudden event made him unable to continue his leisurely meal. Seeing that the chase came all the way to this restaurant, Sajia knew Elsa had staged this on purpose. To go down or not?

If he stepped in, he would surely lose his dignity. But if he didn’t, would he just wait for the two of them to slander him at will?

Elsa could endure the rumors initially because she knew she had the chance to turn the tables. However, if he didn’t step in, there wouldn’t be any room to refute in the future!

So, after consulting with his aides, he decided to show up. Whether it’s a debate or a confrontation, he wouldn’t be intimidated by Elsa.

However, at this moment, the First Prince’s face looked ashen. Even though he did give the command, it was relatively metaphorical, and the man had added a lot of his own interpretation to it. Now it sounded like these words were directly spoken by Sajia himself.

"What is the meaning of this, Elsa?" Sajia asked, looking displeased.

"Nothing in particular. I just happened to discover where the original rumor came from, so I decided to bring this man here. Since you’re also here, this is perfect. This man just told me, the reason he spread the rumors is because he was acting under your command. Is that true or false?" Elsa asked, hands behind her back.

"What if it’s false, what will you do? And if it’s true, what can you do?" Sajia tilted his head back high, indeed looking quite imposing.

"If it’s false, I’ll kill that lying bastard who’s on his deathbed. If it’s you, I’ll kill you, you bastard. It’s that simple," Elsa replied.

Upon hearing her words, Sajia’s face twisted in anger.

He was furious!

Who dares to speak to him in such a manner in Heaven Realm! Being the First Prince and the direct heir to the throne, he is being threatened by this wild girl from the Human Realm!

"How dare you! Who taught you to speak like that!"

"As a princess, you lack any sense of grace. Where did your manners go?"

"Pay your respects and apologize now!"

Several of Sajia’s staff rushed forward to defend their prince. It was their duty, even if they had to face a princess, they needed to maintain their stance.

"Are you talking to me?" Elsa asked with a sly smile.

"..."

At this, everyone became silent. Elsa was known for her fierceness; two years ago, she stormed into the palace of the First Prince with her greatsword.

"As a princess, threatening an unarmed innocent in a bustling city, is this your upbringing?" Sajia calmly asked.

"Mind your own business and stop changing the subject. Just tell me honestly, was the rumour initiated by you or not?" As she spoke, dazzling light burst from Elsa’s hand once again, and her Light Sword reappeared!

At that moment, an intense urge rose in Sajia to shout, "Yes, it was me!" and charge forward, slashing Elsa with his sword!

But he dared not.

Elsa’s power was now unfathomable. Without a legendary warrior present, no one could face her. But what if he denied it? Would it seem as if he had been forced to make a choice under Elsa’s threats?

If he admitted it, he’d not only lose face, he might lose his life!

"It was not my order."

Sajia spoke.

"Alright, seems like you’re lying again."

Elsa turned to face the man whose wings she had severed.

"Bullshit! It was him! It was clearly him! He promised me wealth! A trusted position by his side! Now you want to abandon me? You ungrateful bastard! I’ve done so many things for you! Fine! Since you want to abandon me! I’ll spill all your secrets today! He..."

Boom!

A Light Sword plunged into the ground, creating a deep pit. Below it, there was no trace of the man left.

Sajia trembled as he watched the light sword slowly fade while Elsa’s energy receded.

The strength of that strike! Probably even a legendary warrior couldn’t withstand it!

Unbeknownst to him, she had become so powerful!

But why?

Why did Elsa not let him expose himself? He knows many secrets, once revealed, my reputation will be shattered! Isn’t this what Elsa and Selena would most like to see? But why didn’t she let him do it? Why did she stop him?

Just now, Sajia had secretly ordered one of his staff to kill him. Although it would damage his own reputation, it was better than revealing all these affairs.

But surprisingly, Elsa struck first!

Sajia didn’t believe in coincidences. Elsa is incredibly cunning; such a good opportunity, why did she not grasp it? What good would it do for her to stop him from speaking?

Ah! Why? Why is it so?

Sajia felt his mind was strained, his head aching.

Meanwhile, Elsa turned away, tossing out a casual remark.

"Be smarter when you come back in your next life. Being manipulated and betrayed... But I don’t care at all about what this idiot has done. Just honestly be reborn again."

Sajia was so exasperated that he trembled all over. This was akin to a slap in the face!

The incident that day had spread amongst the Celestial Clan’s nobility, and those who hadn’t heard news of Elsa for a long time excitedly disseminated various versions of the story. But the shocking part was Elsa’s unpredictable behavior.

When the man was about to reveal some of Sajia’s secrets, it would have been a most detrimental impact. Both Elsa and Selena would have liked to see it happen. However surprisingly, Elsa killed the man before he whispered a word!

Did she intentionally spare Sajia, or was she showing mercy after humiliating him?

On one side, all the wits tried to guess Elsa’s intentions. On the other, the Boundary Monument’s malfunction had reached a critical stage. It was estimated that in less than a month, the monument might cease to function.

At this crucial moment, Elsa was ready to step in. She would lead the warriors of the Heaven Realm once again to fight the Ghost Spirits!

And this war might be a long one. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
