Chapter 658 – Second Chance – Part 1

Tang Shaoyang glanced at the green-cloaked figure standing on the top of the tree house's rooftop. The figure had a fully-pulled bow, and he noticed that the mana gathered in the arrow. It was not just a regular arrow, some sort of a skill he had to guess. He did not do anything even though the figure threatened him with the arrow, and he was interested in the development. What Elven would do about this was what he wanted to see.

Revalor's heart skipped a beat when he heard the voice. 'How could he be out here?' He recognized the voice, his second son, Arbane. Before he greeted Lord Tang, he made sure that his second son was locked up. He knew that his second would not let it slide like that when the woman he loved married another man.

'Who!?' That was the first question that came up in his head. Who let his second son out? 'No, it's not the time to think about that. I have to think of a way to get that foolish son out of the situation.' The only thing that crossed his mind was death if he did not minimize or deescalate the situation.

Before Revalor could think of anything, he noticed the wind spiraling around the arrow. Arbane was about to shoot the arrow. "Protect Lord Tang Shaoyang!" He yelled to his people, but not a single Elven moved, but one, Virion, was the one who made his move. He rushed to the front of Tang Shaoyang.

However, Arbane changed his target toward the girl next to Aleesa, Sylvia. "If I can't have her, then no one can have her!" After saying that, Arbane released the arrow.

Swoosh!

The arrow accelerated throughout the air as the spiral wind covered the arrow. Twenty meters distance was nothing for the arrow as, within the next second, Arbane shot the arrow, it arrived in front of Sylvia. Arbane changed the target and caught everyone off guard, but one person.

Tang Shaoyang extended his hand toward the arrow-enveloped wind and activated his skill, [Gravity Pull]. At the same time, he also got rid of the wind from the arrow. Just like that, the arrow that almost pierced Sylvia's forehead was in Tang Shaoyang's hand right now.

"Lowly human, huh!?" Tang Shaoyang snapped the arrow in his hand and muttered in a low voice. "I am not a human anymore, though." Everyone could hear him, but no one understood what he was saying. He then looked toward the green-cloaked figure and smiled. "What a great welcome."

After the failed shot, a series of figures rushed toward the person on the rooftop. The incoming figures were wearing a deep green cloak and had their face covered with a mask. Arbane was not expecting his arrow to miss in this short distance, so the group easily subdued Second Prince Arbane.

"I apologize for the accident, My Lord. We will execute the offender soon after the coronation. We will not tolerate anyone who tries to hurt you." Revalor had a quick think and thought of a way to get his second son out. First, he had to keep his second son's identity hidden. Second, he would find a criminal in the dungeon and present the prisoner's head to Lord Tang. Third, he would ensure that his second son did not meet or even speak to Lord Tang. If Lord Tang heard his second son's voice, he might identify the culprit.

"Not all Elven agree with my decision to surrender to the great Empire, but I don't think they will do something stupid like this." King Revalor added. That additional information was telling Lord Tang that there was opposition from his faction.

Tang Shaoyang squinted his eyes and looked at the green-cloaked figure subdued by The Elven's force. He then glanced at Revalor, and he was not that stupid to not notice that. Revalor was hiding something from him, and it was the identity of the shooter.

"Please give us a second chance, My Lord." Virion bowed ninety degrees. "We will make sure to get rid of the opposition before our war against the Lionax Kingdom."

"Right, a second chance. Everyone deserves a second…." His voice cut midway, and he looked at the subdued figure. "But that guy does not deserve the second chance. But we will talk this out after the coronation. I will not ruin the coronation for that senseless guy."

Aleesa looked at her brother-in-law and also her nephew. Of course, she recognized the voice of his nephew the moment Arbane shouted. The Elven Elder then glanced at Sylvia. The same for the Moonlight Maiden; she recognized her ex-fiance's voice as well. It was shown from the shock on her face, but that was a good cover as well. People might misunderstand that she was shocked because the arrow almost pierced her head.

The one who was in a panic was Revalor. He did not want his second son to die like this, so he kept thinking of a scenario where he could save his second son. The previous plan might work because Lord Tang decided to deal with this after the coronation. However, he had to ensure that Aleesa and Sylvia did not say anything about the attacker's identity.

Revalor looked at his sister-in-law with a pleading gaze. There were two messages behind his pleading gaze. It was to not speak about Prince Arbane to Lord Tang, and he pleaded with her to convince The Moonlight Maiden Sylvia not to talk as well. Of course, he had to talk with Chief Moon, but he believed that Moonsong would help him if he spoke up. So he was not worried about Moonsong.

Crown Prince Virion ordered the Royal Guard to take the attacker to the dungeon. He made a motion of grassing his lips with his thumb, telling the Royal Guard to shut Arbane's mouth. Like his father, he did not want Arbane's identity to get revealed for a different reason. If his father did that to protect Arbane, he did this so Lord Tang would not find out Arbane was part of Elven Royal.

'I have to present Arbane's head, but I will make sure no one speaks about that foolish brother of mine as my brother..' Yes, Virion was ready to sacrifice his brother to clear up the misunderstanding and avoid the conflict with Lord Tang Shaoyang.
