Chapter 2389: Since It Has Already Rotted to the Bones

“Hahaha! From tomorrow on, I will be the king of the Wind Forest!”
An arrogant laugh came from the castle in the Brewster Family’s turf. Elliot was sitting on the throne and he had a smug smile on his face.
Meanwhile, all the Brewster Family elders below had equally excited expressions too.
Sally Brewster was going to ascend to the throne tomorrow and be the acting elven queen. This news had already spread throughout the Brewster Family’s territory.
No one knew about the queen’s life or death. Helena was in seclusion. The Wind Forest was going to welcome a new queen now.
And the Brewster Family’s status would rise as well.
Sally was still a child. In the eyes of the elders present, she was just a young girl.
Even though she had displayed some shrewdness, she was still a child.
There was only one Irina in this world and Sally was way inferior to her.
Hence, now it would be the Brewster Family’s turn to be the highest authority in the Wind Forest.
“Congratulations, Chief! You had a good daughter!”
“The Brewster Family’s glory will grow in your hands!”
Everyone raised their cups to butter him up.
……
The clash of toasts, the luxury and dissipation.
Everyone was indulging in their imagination of the Brewster Family being the top family in the Wind Forest after tomorrow. They would then lord themselves over all the other elves.
Everyone clustered around Elliot as if he had already ascended to the throne.
Everyone was in revelry, including those youngsters who weren’t qualified to enter the castle’s hall.
No one noticed that a troop in black armor had already surrounded the Brewster Family’s territory quietly. The perimeter was shrinking and every alert was eliminated before it was sent out.
Just like that, the soldiers in black armor surrounded the castle.
A magic shield rose up and covered the castle.
The laughter in the castle only stopped at that moment.
The castle’s gates opened slowly.
“W-what’s going on?” The Brewster Family elders stared at the armed soldiers in black armor at the door with their mouths agape.
The Black Queensguard, the queen’s personal guards.
It was a household troop formed by the elven elites and was only loyal to the queen.
The Black Queensguard represented the queen’s wishes. Any elf who disobeyed or resisted the Black Queensguard, would be deemed as a traitor and killed on the spot.
Elliot walked out from the crowd and scolded them arrogantly. “Do you guys know what this place is?! How dare you come to surround the future queen’s fiefdom?!”
The Black Queensguard’s leader came forward and showed him an arrest warrant. “Elliot, we came on Princess Sally’s order to arrest you for the crime of threatening the elven race’s safety.”
Two figures dashed out and caught Elliot on both sides as soon as he said that. The black spirit binding rope also bound him up instantly.
Elliot, who was drunk and not alert, only regained his wits after his power was restrained. He angrily said, “Let me go! I’m Sally’s father! The queen’s father! You cannot arrest me!”
“Chief!”
Everyone from the Brewster Family was shocked when they saw this scene. All of them took out their weapons and magic wands. The two sides were tense at that very moment.
The leader of the Black Queensguard troop swept his cold gaze around and coldly said, “The Black Queensguards are doing their mission. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!”
All the elves went ashen. After a moment of hesitation, someone threw away their weapon and like dominoes, they all began to put away their weapons.
The leader revealed a mocking smile. Only Princess Sally had a backbone in such a big family.
“Stop shouting. The Black Queensguard obeys Princess Sally. Of course, she will be the queen tomorrow.” The leader looked at Elliot with a fierce gaze. “We have reliable evidence that you tried to control the queen to achieve your motive of controlling the Wind Forest. Once this charge is convicted, you will spend the rest of your life repenting in prison.”
Elliot went white and exclaimed, “Y-you guys are framing me! I’m her father. She cannot do this to me!”
The leader raised his hands and coldly said, “Seal his mouth and bring him away.”
A black cloth was stuffed into Elliot’s mouth and two Black Queensguards stuffed him into the prisoners’ carriage.
“As for all of you.” The leader turned his gaze onto the fearful elves. “From today on, the Brewster Family’s fiefdom will be under lockdown indefinitely. You cannot leave no matter what happens until the queen lifts the lockdown.”
The Black Queensguard left but another troop was stationed beyond their territory. A spell formation quickly rose up and engulfed the Brewster Family’s territory.
The extreme highs contrasted with extreme lows stunned the Brewster Family members.
They couldn’t understand how they became prisoners when their statuses were just about to increase?
The scary part was, the chief was even arrested?!
Elliot, who was Sally’s father and had just swore that he wanted to control the Wind Forest, was now arrested with the crime of endangering the elven race’s safety.
Sally arrested her father even before she had ascended the throne.
She was indeed an unfaithful child.
***
The news of Elliot’s arrest and the Brewster Family’s territory being under lockdown soon spread all over the Wind Forest.
Sally’s actions before her ascension made all the big families’ heads tingle.
In the impression of the majority of the elves, even though Sally was selected by Helena as the new elven princess to replace Irina, she was merely an obedient tool.
Just as people thought that Sally was weak, Helena was in seclusion and Elliot was going to control the elves’ pinnacle power through controlling Sally, she arrested her father.
What made all the elves even more shocked was that the Black Queensguard, who were only loyal to the queen, was already obeying Sally before her ascension.
The Black Queensguard were the elves’ creme de la creme in their elite forces. The leader and his two deputies were even top 10th-tier powerhouses.
They only obeyed the queen. Even the High Priestess couldn’t order them around.
They used their actions to prove their stance before the ascension. They were already loyal to Sally.
This made the powers, who had some sinister thoughts, re-evaluate the influence of this news.
The Wind Forest was destined to be unpeaceful on this night.
Apart from the Brewster Family, two other families were also arrested by the Black Queensguard.
Their leader and main elders were brought away with the accusation of treason and their territories were also under lockdown.

A strapping figure in black armor respectfully said at the cave entrance, “Princess, we have already reined in the net and no fish have escaped.”
“I appreciate your help.” Sally’s voice rang out from the cave and then it was just silence.
The elf in black armor stood at the entrance for a while before leaving quietly.
“Since it has already rotted to the bones, we have no choice but to cut it all out.”
A soft sigh sounded in the cave after a long time.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Another weak voice sounded.
