Soon, the group arrived at the Elf Forest.

However, the forest seemed to be in a bit of chaos at the moment. They were stopped the moment they arrived.

“No one is allowed to enter the Elf Forest right now,” the elf guard said.

“May I know why?” Liana got down from the carriage. Before coming here, she had certainly looked into the current situation of the Elf Forest, but no one had told her that she couldn’t enter.

“Liana...” The elf guard looked at her. “Please come with us.”

“Huh?” Liana looked at them with some vigilance. “Just me alone?”

“Yes.” The elf guard nodded.

“I refuse.” Liana had no reason to agree to this request. “If I am to go in, the two of them must accompany me.”

“The situation is special right now. Only you alone are allowed to enter,” the guard said.

“Yes, the situation is special. I cannot go in alone without being sure of my safety.” Her previous act of disguising herself as an elf to come here had definitely been exposed. For them to only allow her in alone now, how could she possibly agree?

“The Elf Forest is much safer than the human world. And we will protect you, Liana,” the guard said.

“Protect?” Minoga took a step forward. “I do not believe that the two of you can guarantee Her Highness’s safety better than I can.”

The moment the Judge spoke, the two guards quieted down.

“If there is something important you need my help with, just say it. I will do my best to help. But this act of letting me in alone while stopping my family outside makes it very difficult for me to trust you,” Liana said.

“How about this? I don’t trust you. You go and call Princess Sephirena and Princess Avira over. I trust them,” she said.

“Princess Avira can probably be called over, but Princess Sephirena cannot,” the guard said.

“Why?” Liana was a little confused. Hadn’t Sephirena been accepted by the Elf Forest before?

“Because Princess Sephirena has committed a grave crime,” the guard said.

“Huh?” Liana frowned. What did she do now? Committed another grave crime?

“Your Highness Liana.” Nimeris walked out from the forest.

“What is it?”

“You went to the Forbidden Land of the Elf Forest before, didn’t you?” Nimeris asked.

“...” So it really is because of this? “Yes. I have already discussed this matter with Headmaster Ibett.”

“At the entrance, the guards had already reminded you that this was a forbidden land, right? You knew it was a forbidden land, so why did you still go in?” Nimeris asked.

“I have learned about this matter and know that that place is no longer a forbidden land.” After all, the guards had indeed warned her once. It was not realistic for Liana to say she had entered unintentionally, so she might as well just admit it.

“It is no longer a forbidden land, but only for elves. Your Highness, you are a human,” Nimeris said.

“A human?” A small flower appeared in Liana’s hand. “I have received the blessing of the Tree of Life. I can be considered an elf, can’t I?”

The word of the Tree of Life carried more weight than this princess who had not received its blessing.

Sure enough, when Liana said this, the other party’s face clearly darkened, but she could only force a smile. “That is true. With the blessing of Mother Tree of Life, you can indeed be considered an elf. But whether you are an elf or not is no longer important.”

As if I’d believe you. You were just harping on my human identity. Seeing that you couldn’t do anything with that, you changed your tune.

“So, what is it?”

“Sephirena said that you were the one who saved her, right?”

Liana nodded. “I suppose so.”

“And then the two of you went to the Forbidden Land together. That is also a certainty, right?”

“Mm.”

“Then for us to suspect that you might have been involved in Sephirena’s destruction of the mountain in the Forbidden Land is not a problem either, right?” Nimeris said.

“Huh?” Liana hadn’t expected that Sephirena had really done it.

One must know, the mountain in the Forbidden Land was immune to magic damage. That meant you ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) could only rely on brute force and tools to chip away at it bit by bit. Not to mention, you weren’t even sure where exactly the holy sword was, so the time required was also unknown.

If any abnormality occurred, the elf guards would come over. Under these circumstances, you really dared to do it, Sephirena?

Forget that you’re a princess who has just returned. If even Princess Avira had done such a thing, she would have been killed as a traitor.

Liana’s eyebrows twitched. “Destruction of the mountain? What do you mean?”

She still held a sliver of hope. What if she had misheard? Before today, this kind of situation hadn’t occurred in the Elf Forest. But she also knew very well that this was just her deceiving herself.

Sephirena is in the Forbidden Land right now. To find out if it’s true or not, can’t we just go and see?

“I will say it again. I must ensure my own safety. They must come with me.” Liana would not back down either.

With something like this having happened, if there wasn’t someone by her side who could protect her, she didn’t know what kind of accident might occur.

“Alright.” Nimeris didn’t press the issue any further and let Liana’s group enter the Elf Forest together.

Along the way, Liana could clearly hear some elves murmuring about her, and their dissatisfaction with Princess Sephirena.

Not everyone understood her. In the eyes of many elves, Sephirena was still the same willful elf as before, the one who had caused the death of the third princess.

Mephilia followed Liana’s side, looking as if she wanted to speak but was holding back.

Liana was also a little confused right now. She would only know what had happened when she saw Sephirena.

Right now, they were probably going to the elves’ prison. With such a thing having happened, there was no reason Sephirena wouldn’t be arrested.

“Liana?” At this moment, an old acquaintance also appeared before her. “Princess Nimeris, what has happened?”

“Second Prince Oester, this is a private matter of our elf race and has nothing to do with you. I will explain it to you slowly later,” Nimeris said very politely.

To have the mind to say such things to another human when something like this has happened, it seems the relationship between the second prince and Princess Nimeris is indeed not ordinary.

“Alright. Since you’ve said so, then I will continue to search for the holy sword. Recently, some traces of the demonkind have appeared near the Elf Forest. We must find the holy sword as soon as possible,” Oester said.

Liana: Too lazy to even roast him.

“Liana, don’t cause any trouble for Princess Nimeris and the elves, okay,” Oester said.

“There’s no need to say such hypocritical things to me, Oester. you will never get any change or a good face from me. Trash is trash. Get away from me quickly,” Liana said icily.

“Your Highness Liana...” Nimeris wanted to say something but was interrupted by Liana.

“This is also a private matter between us. I don’t care how good your relationship with him is, Princess Nimeris. In my eyes, he is just a beast lower than a pig or a dog.” At this point, Liana couldn’t be bothered to act anymore.

You want to pretend to be a good person? You want to act like a gentleman? Then just endure it. Endure being pointed at and cursed at without being able to refute it.

The corner of Oester’s mouth twitched, but he couldn’t fly into a rage in front of Nimeris. He could only force a helpless smile. “It’s also normal for Liana to hold such malice towards me. It’s alright.”

“Hilarious.” After leaving these two words, Liana walked away without looking back. “Let’s go, Princess Nimeris. Since such a big thing has happened, let’s not waste time. Especially not on trash like this. It makes me feel disgusted.”

Nimeris hadn’t expected such words to come out of Liana’s mouth. She really didn’t hold back at all.

“I understand.” Nimeris nodded and continued to lead her deeper into the Elf Forest.

However, the further they went, the more familiar Liana felt. Wasn’t this the road to the Forbidden Land? Could it be that Sephirena hadn’t been arrested?

After walking for about five minutes, they stopped at a place surrounded by elves. Sure enough, it wasn’t her imagination. The place Nimeris had brought them to was the Forbidden Land.

And here, she also saw Princess Avira. At this moment, she was frowning tightly, her eyes filled with incomprehension.

“Your Highness Liana.”

“Princess Avira, what on earth happened?” Liana asked.

“Your Highness, you should come and see for yourself,” Avira said with some helplessness. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

“Do you need me to follow, Your Highness?” Minoga asked.

“No need. I trust Princess Avira,” Liana said.

She followed Avira into the Forbidden Land and saw many elf guards in combat stances.

And the person they were facing was none other than Sephirena.

At this moment, she was standing at the entrance of a hole in the mountain.

That’s right. With her own strength, in a short period of time, she had forcefully opened a large hole in the mountain.

This also made Liana freeze on the spot. This girl...

Sephirena’s hands were constantly dripping blood, and in them, she held a strip of stone.
