Chapter 421 Where is my husband?
Chapter 421 Where is my husband?
Tang Yue quickened her pace as she made her way towards Eldoria, the elven settlement where her life had taken a turn. Her heart pounded loudly, filled with anticipation and a touch of nervousness.
An unsettling feeling gnawed at her. Despite revealing her presence for only a brief moment, she expected some of the elves to have noticed by now.
Yet, no one had come to greet her...
"Are they still angry with me?" She worried, her thoughts resembling those of a troubled teenager.
Nevertheless, everything would soon be resolved. She doubted that the two of them would remain angry with her once they saw her. After all, it had been quite some time.
Upon entering Eldoria, Tang Yue headed straight for the royal palace. With a smile on her face, she burst into the courtroom. "I have a bone to pick with the crown prince!" She playfully grabbed the collar of the elf seated on the throne.
However, in the next moment, her expression froze. The elf occupying the throne was not Xander.
Tang Yue's face immediately changed, and her grip on the elf tightened. Her aura surged forth like a torrent, overwhelming everyone present in the courtroom. "Where is he?" Her voice thundered.
The atmosphere in the courtroom grew tense as Tang Yue's powerful aura filled the space. The other elves in attendance exchanged worried glances, taken aback by her sudden outburst.
From the moment she entered, everything had happened so fast that they all were recovering from their stupor only now, realizing that a serpentine clan member was here. None of them were even able to react.
"Where is Xander?" Tang Yue's crimson eyes dragged on her prey. Under her predatory gaze, the elf on the throne started trembling and shaking. He did not understand what was going on.
Wasn't this woman supposed to be missing? And how did she become so powerful all of a sudden?
Finally, snapping out of it, he stammered in shock. "I… I… Guards! Arrest this traitor!"
That's right. This was precisely why they had taken all these painstaking efforts. They had already branded this filthy snake as a traitor.
She might have gotten a bit powerful but so what? With all of the royal guards combined together, how would she still be able to fight?
The next instant, the room filled with commotion as the guards rushed in, their weapons at the ready. These were the elite shadow guards of the elven empire, famed for their victory in various conquests.
Tang Yue's eyes narrowed, her grip on the elf tightening even further. Her voice cut through the chaos, cold and resolute. "So you are not going to answer me, huh?."
"I wonder how many I have to kill to get my answer." She cracked her knuckles and grinned, sending shivers down the elves surrounding her.
The tension in the courtroom escalated as Tang Yue's words hung in the air, her threat unsettling the guards and the courtiers alike. Fear flickered in the eyes of the elf on the throne, realizing the severity of the situation.
And before they could blink, several blades of wind materialized in the air. These blades flew forward at an incredible speed and deftly sliced across the room.
Not a single guard was able to defend against the attack. When they realized what had happened, their bodies had already received numerous cuts and injuries and they were profusely bleeding.
This was no simple matter as each of these guards was well equipped with top-tier items.
Throughout their lives, they had received all sorts of elixirs and resources to strengthen their bodies and progress their cultivation, but right at this moment, all of that seemed to be a joke as the snake's attack cut through their bodies like it was a newborn baby's bottom.
Watching the group stand frozen in shock, unable to even register the pain, Tang Yue licked her lips and laughed. "Is that enough? Or do you want me to continue?"
"Listen up. I am not killing you for one reason and only one reason. I know that my husband personally groomed each and every single one of you. I do not want his hard work to be wasted."
"So if you are loyal to my husband, step aside. This is not your fight."
As Tang Yue's chilling voice echoed through the courtroom, her words struck a chord within the guards. What she was saying was not wrong. They had all been personally trained by Xander, and their loyalty to him ran deep.
Gritting their teeth, a few guards managed to gather their strength and stepped aside, making way for Tang Yue. It was an act of both respect for their former leader and a recognition of the futility of opposing her now.
Tang Yue's crimson eyes flickered with a mix of satisfaction. She then turned her glance at the remaining guards who also looked like they were about to yield.
The elf sitting on the throne immediately started to panic. "What are you all doing? Xander is my brother. If you are loyal to him, then you should be loyal to me. This snake is a traitorous filthy bitch! Stop standing around and kill her! Kill her!"
However, unfortunately for him, not a single elf stepped forward to obey his command. The courtroom was silent. Only Tang Yue's laughter once again resounded.
"Ba ha ha ha! So you are my husband's brother?"
The elf became even more enraged. "Ptui! Stop calling him your husband you slut. We all know where you have been all these days!"
"How is the dwarven prince in bed? You dare defile our honor and still claim to be my brother's queen? Shut up! Why are you even here? Did you sell all our secrets and come back for more? Why are you all waiting? Kill this slut right now!"
"Oh?" Tang Yue mused. So this was the news that was spreading about her. She looked at the elven prince and clicked her tongue pitifully. "Poor thing. Are you dumb? Even though you are my husband's brother, your brain seems to be not that developed huh?"
"What?"
"Heh. Fool. I just did a number on your guards and you saw how useless they were and you still expect something to happen?"
The elf swallowed hard, his voice barely audible. "There are more… guards. The elven high council…"
Tang Yue, however, did not bother hearing him. "Right. Where were we? Where the hell is my husband?" When the elf did not answer her, this time she did not hold back. She moved her finger and suddenly the elf started choking.
The entire throne room became deathly silent. What the hell was happening? This was Eldoria! The strongest Kingdom in the entire land! Now all of a sudden one of the serpentine clan members appeared out of nowhere and started wreaking havoc.
What were they supposed to do now? Was a royal prince going to be assassinated just like that?
Before things could take a turn for the worse, thankfully someone else in the throne room stepped forward to speak bravely.
"Princess Tang Yue. Please spare his highness. I can fill you in on all the details."
"Hmmm?" Tang Yue turned to see an old seasoned elven warrior. It was Charlotte's father.
