Chapter 1428: Are You Worthy Of It?

The music sounded, and the elves’ fervent gazes were locked on Sally, who was walking up the platform slowly.
They were witnessing the making of elven history right now. The elven princess was about to take her place, and she might even be the new queen in the future.
However, most of the elves had forgotten that this music had once sounded over the Wind Forest, and was known as the Sound of Freedom.
The Tree of Life’s hundreds of thousands of branches were swaying downward gently as if they were reminiscing about the past.
An excited gleam was flickering in Elliot’s eyes. Every step that Sally took meant one step up in the status of the Brewster Family. Among the eight major families, the Brewsters’ status was going to be really different from the rest when Sally became the elf princess.
Vincent looked at Blour with a complicated expression. He was feeling a little guilty.
Sally finally made it to the platform. She stood at the same height as Helena as she looked down with a calm expression. She wasn’t ecstatic about her imminent promotion to the elven princess. It was as if all this had nothing to do with her.
Helena was looking at Sally with satisfaction. Even though Sally’s power and talent were not as good as Irina’s, her presence and attitude had already far exceeded her peers’. This was also the reason that she had chosen her.
She didn’t have much time left, but it was enough for her to groom Sally into the elves’ real queen.
As for Elliot? A hint of derision flashed through Helena’s eyes. Nobody could control the elven queen. She couldn’t, and neither could this idiot Elliot. However, his and the Brewster Family’s presence would allow Sally to control all the families more easily.
Helena raised her arms, and all the elves quieted down instantly. Only then she spoke. “Her Majesty The Queen is still in her seclusion, but we couldn’t leave the post of the elven princess hanging like this. Hence, today I shall host the conferring ceremony on Her Majesty’s behalf, and declare Sally as the new elven princess under the witness of the Tree of Life!”
All the elves were staring at Sally with an intense gaze. Irina had insolently tried to overthrow the elves’ system and bring them to the ground.
Now, they were going to have a new princess who would lead them to extend their glory and let them continue to enjoy their high status.
Helena’s gaze swept across the elves’ faces as she said in a cold warning tone, “After the princess takes her position, she’ll give the order to hang all the traitors who tried to overthrow the Wind Forest to show our determination to defend the ruling authority and warn those bewitchers that those who resist meaninglessly will only be killed, and not bring any changes.”
Pity flashed across some of the elves’ eyes, while others evaded Helena’s gaze in a panic, but the majority of them had fanaticism and joy in their eyes.
Everyone would know that the Night Elves who threw themselves into the dark were going to die today, but they hadn’t expected that the order would be given by Sally.
Helena’s gaze stopped on Blour.
Blour, too, didn’t evade her gaze. He was looking back at Helena calmly, without any pity or joy, as if he had no reaction to Helena’s words.
A hint of astonishment flashed across Helena’s eyes. She had investigated all the young people in the elven tribe. She didn’t notice much about this third young master from the Baibilly Family who didn’t have a good reputation. She only found out more about him after Sally requested to continue with her betrothal. Looking at him now, he was better than what the reports said.
If he is obedient enough, he would be a good choice to be the male elf behind the queen. None of the youngsters in the elf race is good enough for Sally now. Helena pondered.
Sally’s fingers moved when she heard Helena’s words. Although she remained calm on the exterior, it was obvious that her inner self wasn’t calm at all.
“The transfer of power is usually bloody. If you want to gain the respect and support of those elves down there, you have to show them enough will and guts for them to stand on your side,” Helena said to Sally in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Sally looked at her and said nothing.
Helena didn’t care in the least. She raised her right hand, and a beam of silver light slowly converged in her palm. A silver crown emerged on her palm, giving off glowing silver beams.
The music stopped suddenly, and the square fell into silence instantly too. The elves looked up at that silver crown with an increasingly respectful gaze.
The queen wore the golden crown, while the silver crown belonged to the princess.
Wearing the silver crown would mean that Sally was the new elven princess, and had a noble status that was just below the queen.
“Sally, come forward,” Helena said to Sally.
Sally looked at that hovering silver crown, and hesitated for a brief moment. Eventually, she still slowly moved in front of Helena.
“Sally, are you willing to become the princess of the elves, and protect the Wind Forest and all our people?” Helena asked loudly, looking into Sally’s eyes.
Her voice reverberated throughout the interior and exterior of Life Square. Even those elves watching at the periphery could hear her clearly.
All the elves held their breaths as they watched Sally, waiting for the historical moment to come.
Sally looked at Helena and hesitated for some time before her gaze became resolute, and she nodded gravely. “I am willing to protect the Wind Forest and all our people.”
Her voice, too, reverberated throughout the Wind Forest, and she specially emphasized the last three words.
“Very good. Then, I shall declare you the princess of the elves on behalf of the queen. You will take important responsibility to protect the elven race.” Helena nodded slightly as she placed the silver crown on Sally’s slightly lowered head with a solemn expression.
The silver crown was glistening under the sunlight.
Sally—standing on the platform in a long silvery dress—suddenly gained some noble queenly presence. In a trance, all the elves seemed to have seen the image of Irina.
“Princess Sally!”
“Your Highness, Princess Sally!”
The elves in the square were kneeling as they paid their respects to Sally. Next, cheers erupted everywhere.
They had just witnessed an historical moment. They finally had a new princess after Irina deserted the Wind Forest. A princess who would stand with them.
Most of the elves had a relieved smile on their faces. It was very much in line with their expected development. Many years down in the future, they and their descendents would continue to rule this forest and enjoy a high status.
Helena raised her hand, and the square slowly quieted down again. The elves slowly stood up, and looked at the Tree of Life with a fervent gaze.
Every elven princess would receive the blessing and protection from the holy Tree of Life and an enhancement of strength.
“The great Tree of Life, your sincere believer and servant prays for your testimony. Please acknowledge Sally’s identity and become her guardian tree.” Helena knelt in front of the Tree of Life and prayed sincerely.
“Are you worthy of it?”
A sarcastic voice appeared above the Tree of Life.
