Chapter 23: That’s Right, It Was Me

That very night.

After leaving Eden’s estate, Amelia and Eileen avoided the patrolling soldiers in the streets and headed straight for the northern city wall. Taking advantage of a moment when the guards on patrol had moved farther away, Eileen held Amelia tightly and they escaped over the wall.

Soon after the two departed, chaos erupted within Falcon City.

A vast number of homeless people poured out of Eden’s residence, furiously denouncing Eden as a fraud.

Due to the sheer number of people, the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces could not ignore the incident. They were forced to go to Eden’s estate to quell the unrest and discovered the deceased Eden and most of his subordinates.

Furthermore, they found traces on some of the bodies indicative of Elven involvement, immediately bringing the Elven Court’s envoys to mind.

Had an Elf done this?

The next day, a groggy Yuna Sidney stumbled out of an alley, clutching her head.

“Found you at last, Miss Sidney!”

Before Yuna could even clear her head, she heard someone call her name. She looked up in confusion to see quite a few people approaching her in the street, chattering away at her as soon as they arrived.

Soon, more people showed up, including the other Elves from the Elf Envoy delegation.

After listening for a while, Yuna understood what was going on. She rubbed her temples and said, “You’re saying an Elf took action last night and killed a Slave Owner, and you think it was me?”

“Miss Sidney, was it not you?”

“We asked the other Elves. You’re the only one with the abilities Wind’s Sigh and Wind Blade.”

“Besides, you weren’t with the rest of us yesterday evening. No one knows what you were doing.”

Facing the members of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces and her fellow Elves, Yuna felt utterly bewildered.

Yesterday, when she was drunk, she had used Wind Blade to slice a group of people in half, killed a Slave Owner, and also used Wind’s Sigh to kill the rest of his underlings?

The abilities one received from the Gods varied from person to person, but it wasn’t strange for different individuals to have the same ones. And Yuna just so happened to possess Wind’s Sigh.

As for Wind Blade… the marks left by Wind Blade were practically indistinguishable from Sword Aura, or even a sword slash.

Under the barrage of questioning gazes, Yuna’s mind gradually became clear. “I see. So, I did a lot of unexpected things while drunk last night, right? Fine then. So, what do you want to do with me? Put me on trial?”

Yuna wasn’t worried. As the head of the Elven envoy delegation, even if she had killed someone, these three human kingdoms wouldn’t dare do anything to her.

“No, no, no! No one would blame you, Miss Sidney! You were killing criminals. We are simply confirming the facts,” a human officer hurriedly explained.

“Well, have you confirmed them now? That’s right, I killed them,” Yuna said, utterly unconcerned.

Although she didn’t remember anything from the previous night, she was indeed the only Elf who possessed both Wind’s Sigh and Wind Blade, and she certainly had the strength to do such things.

Yes, it was her doing!

Meanwhile.

In a cave somewhere in the wilderness, Amelia slowly woke up.

After escaping Falcon City the previous night, she and Eileen had entered the mountains and found a cave to rest in. What she hadn’t expected was that upon waking, she found herself lying on top of Eileen. She could vividly feel the warmth of Eileen’s body beneath her own.
