Chapter 361: Oh, the Irony
Chapter 361: Oh, the Irony
"Hmm, alright. I'm here to tell you about the truth and the revelations. Would you like to hear it?" Rhea gave a soft sweeping motion with her hand.
Yralissa became a little surprised to hear that. Nevertheless, she couldn't judge anything before listening to this guest. "Be my guest and tell me."
"Long time ago--" Rhea started telling a little about the lost history based on her memories. She spoke in the ancient language, Vrelenia.
However, she was more focused on the curse-bearing race that had come from out of nowhere.
She also did not forget to inform about what happened after that decisive war. Although it wasn't detailed, it could already illustrate what happened a hundred thousand years ago.
By the time she finished telling the story, she felt her story was not appreciated. These sovereigns only had bored and indifferent expressions on their faces?
"Wait a moment. You're not here just to tell us a fairy tale, are you? If it's the true incident of lost history, how do you know about the said truth? You're so young, so you can't possibly live that long. Or, do you perhaps have any cipher records of lost history?" Onyx felt this guest story was quite reasonable and quite detailed. Nevertheless, he needed to seek the shreds of evidence first.
"Mm, you are so great and fluent in the ancient language. You've got me interested, Ms. Aria. Are you sure that your story is historical truth? How did you know about the accursed monsters, those curse-bearing monsters?" Alyssum became enthusiastic and interested. She was inclined to believe in that story simply because this guest was an expert in the ancient language.
"Hum, what do you want to achieve by telling us your story?" Yralissa put her hand to her chin as she thought about something.
"Mm, I have no other intention than to provide guidance and direction. Whether you want to believe that or not is your decision. However, the safety of the Fairy Race is my ultimate goal." Rhea shook her head gently.
"You speak as if you were a savior or something. As far as I know, only the Human Race and the Devil Race have records and relics of ancient history. Tell me, are you associated with them as a messenger?" Flix combed back his lime shoulder-length hair. He actually had extreme dissatisfaction and suspicion toward this guest.
It all started with this guest's arrival, who stood still in front of the five sovereigns. This guest didn't kneel! Then, the way this guest spoke seemed to imply that this guest was superior.
"Why do you think so?" Aria didn't change her relaxed yet graceful intonation.
Flix looked at the other four sovereigns and shared his assumptions. "Let's look at it again from another point of view. A guest who came out of nowhere told us something that has no basis or clear evidence. This guest can't even show any evidence."
"Then, this guest is just an ordinary fairy with no power. Perhaps, she is only 16 years old fairy, and the magic circuit in her body has just activated. No matter how much I try to think, I can only consider that this guest is nothing but a dispensable messenger from somewhere for something." Flix pointed at the guest while stating his opinion.
"..." Rhea decided not to say anything in response.
If it had reached this point, she could only see that her own presence and arrival was a source of suspicion. If she continued, everything she said would lead to nowhere but a dead end. No one would believe her words.
Her vital problem was she didn't know what else to do. She expected these sovereigns would at least ask for evidence, and she would prove it. Unfortunately, the only problem was her.
These fairy sovereigns seemed unable to believe her at all. To make matters worse, they had already considered her as a messenger or a spy? She hadn't even finished proving anything yet.
"Look, she can only be silent and unable to answer. So, my words are most likely true. Girl, you can't leave without telling the truth. Tell us honestly, or we have no other choice but to interrogate you." Flix snapped his finger and changed his expression to a lofty, stern one.
The other four sovereigns came to think twice just because of Flix's assumptions. They questioned again in their minds... Who sent this guest, and how this guest could appear in the palace out of nowhere?
Surprisingly, no one suspected this guest more than disbelief. And, it was because they saw this guest only as an ordinary messenger girl.
Elena understood Rhea's distress very well. Thus, she sent an envoy to annoy the fairy higher-ups. 'Sigh... Celes, you can go out and express your grievances to a fairy named Yralissa Quifiel.'
'Ooh! Understood.' Celes saluted then flew toward the ceiling. No one noticed her sudden appearance other than the Goddess of Light, as she expected.
When she had locked onto the target, she shot down and hit Yralissa's head like a cannonball.
*Bam* *Puff* *Puff*
"Yra-lissa! How dare you. You or anyone from your family does not visit me in the last three days. Huh-hah, take this! Kick, kick, does it hurt? Huh-ah, feel my grievance!" Celes was jumping up and down and kicking Yralissa's head in exasperation.
Since she was in a form that could move freely, she wanted to use it to the fullest.
Meanwhile, Yralissa completely baffled to see a soft object patting her on the head. She glanced at it, and it was only a tiny fluffy ball that could talk. It had eyes and a mouth like a living doll. What an adorable little one.
"Oh my, what is this? Why are you yelling your complaints to me all of a sudden? Have we met before?" Yralissa caught the mischievous ball from her head.
"Uff, Kuh, we meet often, and you've forgotten me after only three days? So cruel. Let me kick your head into oblivion, then! Hiya, hiya." Celes freed herself nimbly and vented her grievances in the past three days again.
"..."
The hall was enveloped in silence at once just because of the appearance of the talking ball.
Yralissa also couldn't allow herself to be kicked all the time. Although it didn't hurt in the slightest, it ruined her image as the most powerful sovereign. Well, the fluffy ball also didn't have legs, though.
Thus, she caught the mischievous ball again. "Then, who are you? You speak as if you already know me? Please don't say that you are my ancestor."
"I am Celes Quifiel, the Celestial Tree's spirit entity! Indeed, your ancestors gave me the surname. Sadly, you've forgotten me after only three days. Humph, no wonder you can't recognize the Fairy Goddess over there. You even suspect her of being a liar or a spy?" Celes snorted and fled from Yralissa's grasp. She flew to the Fairy Goddess instead.
"Uh, wait, what did you just say?"
"Eh?" "Huh?"
Yralissa and the four other fairy sovereigns were stunned to hear that confession.
Before anyone could talk any further, Elena revoked her invisible magic. She, Nell, and Vanessa appeared in the hall. However, the fairy sovereigns weren't aware of Elena's group just yet.
"Oh, the irony. You fairies are looking for your Goddess's whereabouts, but you seem to fail to recognize your Goddess. Oh, hey... You even immediately dropped your accusations without giving your Goddess any chance to prove anything. She's not even done yet." Elena made her voice echo throughout the hall.
"Who is there? What do you mean by that? Show yourself." Yralissa was the first to respond. She glanced here and there but couldn't find any third party apart from Aria and the talking ball.
"Why don't you look 90 degrees to your right?" Elena glanced down with a smirk. She felt that she had become a titan but in the world of fairies.
They turned in the direction they were told to and realized a heavenly golden Goddess was near them. She was there with a unique fairy and a big white tiger.
"The- the Goddess of Light!?" Yralissa stuttered to realize that. She and the other sovereign did not expect this sudden and shocking arrival.
"Mm, I've come as I promised." Elena held out her hand to invite Rhea to join the group. "Looks like the simple way is the only way. They do not consider what the truth is, but who conveyed it."
"Hum..." Rhea just heaved a subtle sigh and flew toward Elena. Elena was utterly correct.
"Are, are you perhaps the Goddess of Life?" Flix stuttered and began to turn pale. After connecting the dots, he realized that he had already accused a divine being before she had finished delivering the revelations!
Rhea only emitted a golden energy aura in response. At the same time, the five sovereigns were thunderstruck.
Flix immediately knelt down to apologize without thinking any further. "Please forgive this lowly mortal for committing such a presumptuous act, o the Goddess of Life!"
Then, Yralissa and the other sovereigns also knelt down to apologize. Even Alyssum went so far as to prostrate on the floor for it.
A few moments later, Rhea became uncomfortable hearing the persistent apologies. These five sovereigns were at Emperor-level, but now they apologized so pitifully.?"Rise, that's enough."
Hearing that, Yralissa and her fellow sovereign rose from the floor to look at the Goddess of Light.
"Why are you looking at me with that look? Are you trying to see what's under my dress by taking advantage of your small size? Shame on you. I have the divine light that always protects me." Elena spoke carelessly and sat down in a seiza position.
"..." The three Fairy Emperors turned their heads to the side. They were innocent, but the two Fairy Empresses had already given them a death glare.
