Volume 2 + Chapter 125: The Charge
Xia Yi found herself facing the young master of the Elvin family, Oba.
Behind him sat a middle-aged dragon who bore some resemblance to him but had a much stronger presence.
He was likely the president of the New Chamber of Commerce and also the head of the Elvin family, Arland Elvin.
In addition to this father and son, there were many dragons dressed in noble attire. Without exception, these people were the new nobles of Corolle.
They ordered Thousand Kills to bring Xia Yi back.
All eyes were on her, observing.
“Why aren’t you talking, Princess?” Oba asked happily.
“Y-You know I’m a princess, and you still dare to talk to me like this!?” Xia Yi shouted, “A capital offense, a capital offense!! You have committed a capital offense!!”
“Hahaha! She really thinks she’s the Princess, she’s even deluded herself from pretending!!”
Oba laughed heartily.
The other also laughed, their eyes filled with disdain.
Arland raised his hand, signaling his son to step aside.
Oba, knowing his place, simply stood by his father’s side.
In this way, there was no obstruction between Xia Yi and Arland, the two directly met each other’s gaze.
“Are you all lacking eyes? The esteemed princess has come to our Corolle, and you don’t even entertain her?” Arland questioned the other nobles, “How can we be so rude to the Royal Dragon Family? You should know that the rapid development of our Corolle is all thanks to Her Majesty the Queen’s wisdom.”
But this voice didn’t sound like it was speaking for Xia Yi at all, but rather sarcastic.
After he gave the order, the servants brought a chair for Xia Yi to sit on.
“Don’t take it too personally, Princess.”
When Aland spoke, he was still smoking a cigar, taking a puff, without the slightest respect.
“You dare to disrespect me like this, I will have my father and mother punish you!!” Xia Yi’s voice sounded panicked.
“Hahaha, can’t hold it in anymore!” Oba laughed again, “You impostor, did you even do your homework? The Silver Dragon Queen has never been married, what nonsense are you spouting!”
“Oh… no, no… I mean… Mother dotes on me very much, if you dare to harm me, she definitely won’t let you off!”
Xia Yi lowered her head, her gaze wandering, just like someone whose lie had been exposed but refused to admit it.
Arland had originally planned to interrogate her, but now it seemed unnecessary.
With this temperament, there was no way she could be the princess.
The Cavendish family really found an unqualified actress.
“Tell me, who are you really?” Arland asked, “Reveal your identity.”
“I am… the Dragon… Princess…” Xia Yi’s voice sounded like she was about to cry.
“If you’re the Princess, then I’m the hero Frey!” Oba shouted.
Arland was getting impatient with his son’s interruptions and gave him a stern glare.
Oba shrank his neck timidly, not daring to continue being presumptuous.
“Little girl, stop pretending and speak directly. Who instructed you to play the role of the Princess, and for what purpose?” Arland asked directly, “You better think carefully before answering, because this is a capital offense.”
“Capital? Capital…”
Xia Yi stood up in horror and ran towards the door.
However, she was blocked by the other dragons.
“No, no… I don’t want to die!”
“Then tell me, who are you really?”
“I… I… I am the Dragon Princess… They said, I am the Dragon Princess!” Xia Yi seemed to have a mental breakdown.
Seeing this, the other nobles had an idea about Xia Yi’s identity.
“President Arland, it seems she’s just a puppet controlled by the Cavendish family. Without the support of the Cavendish family, she’s in such a panic. She keeps repeating those two sentences and doesn’t have the slightest temperament of the royal family.”
“It should be.”
Arland felt like he was watching a clown’s performance, very clumsy. He pressed his cigar into the ashtray, extinguishing it, having lost interest.
“Father, why don’t we just kill her?” Oba suggested.
The other new nobles had the same idea.
“No, there’s no need to rush.”
Arland had a plan in mind.
“If we just kill her like this, directly discarding her as a pawn, the Cavendish family might deny everything.”
“Then Father, what do you suggest?” Oba was curious.
“We can immediately convene the court and try this impostor pretending to be the Dragon Princess,” Arland said happily, “You see, just a few words from us and she’s already scared into that state… In court, under the pressure of all of Corolle, won’t she just collapse?”
“Father, that’s brilliant!” Oba praised.
The other new nobles also nodded one after another, deeply agreeing.
“President Arland’s move is good. In this way, we can expose the ambitions of the Cavendish family in front of all of Corolle. We can gain the advantage in public opinion and even put the Cavendish family on trial on the spot with justification!”
“Yes! Let’s do that. President Arland, we should gather all the people of Corolle to witness this special trial!”
“The pawn created by the Cavendish family has instead been used by us, now the tables have turned!”
Arland looked at Xia Yi, narrowing his eyes.
“Tomorrow will be the dawn of a new era for Corolle.”
…
“Have you found Miss Mu Guang?”
“No, boss, we’ve mobilized all our brothers, but we still can’t find any trace of Miss Mu Guang.”
“Damn it!!”
Jiye punched the wall, creating a hole.
The gang members didn’t dare to make a sound.
Chen Tie crossed his arms, his expression grave.
The spokesperson for Corolle’s gangs—Miss Mu Guang, mysteriously disappeared tonight. The entire gang had been dispatched to search, but after several hours, there was still no news.
Serra watched Jiye and Chen Tie from the side, thinking that these two guys’ acting skills were quite good, how come she hadn’t noticed before?
“Hey, what’s that?”
A gang member pointed to a billboard on the street.
All the billboards in the city had changed, displaying a unified image, a portrait of a silver-haired dragon loli.
“It’s Miss Mu Guang!!” the gang member exclaimed.
“How is that possible!”
Jiye was shocked to see the content on the billboard.
It was an urgent announcement, a notice for a court session, requiring all dragons in the central city district to attend. Tomorrow there would be an important trial, and the accused had committed an absolutely unforgivable crime, the charge being—
Insulting the dignity of the Royal Dragon Family’s Princess.
