Elf Princesses

Episode 31's. You're a killer

"You.." Zac ran out of patience, the man clenched his hands tightly. "How can I nurture a nobleman not knowing yourself like you in my power?" Zac bit his own lower lip.

"I. I really didn't do it." the headband shown by Marquess Ahen long ago fed Zac up. It felt like he was going to cut off the man's neck right now.

"Maraquess.." Rubby suddenly approached Zac, he stared intently at the man who was still bent on the knee.

"If this evidence isn't enough to make you honest, then let the witnesses here be honest." Rubby smiled thinly. He still remembers Jeina's words if it was no secret that Marques Ahen was often dirty, and some people already knew but did not dare to dismantle it. And now, the Emperor had handled it himself, so no noble would still be afraid of dismantling the man's rottenness.

Rubby turned around and looked at the nobles. They whispered to each other and glanced at Rubby for a moment.

"Should I reward anyone who would bear witness to Marques's filthy deeds?" Rubby stared intently at the nobles there. Slowly, some people started to step up and went to face Zac.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I've seen Marques Ahen play women from the village a lot, and it looks like he's enslaved those women too."

"I'm sure I'll definitely see it, Sire."

"Operator, Your Majesty, I can clearly tell you what I saw at the time."

Several nobles began to arrive and dismantle the rottenness of Marques Ahen. While the man was still stubborn and said that everything they said was just a lie.

I've been acting this far, it should be fine, right? inner Marquess Ahen with a slightly trembling body.

The noise was heard again. Suddenly the atmosphere became crowded and noisy. Crowds also began jostling with Rubby, who said he would reward anyone willing to bear witness.

On the other side, there was a man who was still standing. He scrunched his eyes and closed his eyes. Rubby looked at him, and exhaled a rough breath. He retreated his steps and aligned his body beside the man. "Are you okay?" ask Rubby a little worried.

The man's consciousness slightly improved after Rubby came and approached him. He regained his senses and refocused, "Yes, I'm fine." Zac nodded, the man indeed did not like the commotion like now, which made him unfocused and uncomfortable.

"Stop! Go back to your respective places!" rubby insisted on the crowd.

Sure enough, the atmosphere became quiet again. Zac exhaled a rough breath and looked back at Marquess Ahen. "There's still one proof I have to show you."

Zac glanced back at a glance, the sound of a footstroke managed to attract everyone's attention. Now, the woman who was aged, but still comfortable to look at the eye came and approached Zac. He bowed respectfully to Zac, as well as Rubby who was the empress.

"Hail me, Sire." The woman who was none other than Diana, Zac's own nanny's mother faced the man. He bowed a little and looked back at Zac.

"Thank you for hearing my words, Sire." Diana smiled, for a long time she had not spoken calmly before her foster son. A man whom he had considered to be his own son, was now an adult, and now he had defended justice as an 'Emperor'.

Whahuh? The old woman, how could she.. Marquess Ahen bit her lower lip, her heart pounding even more as Diana came and became the main witness this time around.

"I'm old, and maybe I don't have much time. But I am grateful to be able to put this before so many people." Diana began to raise a voice, a voice that sounded hoarse yet was still clear to understand.

"Several weeks ago, exactly when the battle took place in this Empire, I was an eyewitness to all the filthy things done by the man before me now, Marquess Ahen Von Zolvach."

Deg. deg.. It is undeniable, that the anxiety of Marquess Ahen is increasing. The man frowned and clenched his hand.

"Stop!" he screamed loudly enough that all eyes were now on him. "I did enslave women in villages far from the nobility, but that was it! And I. I will also apologize and give a fee to them and. and I promise I will not repeat it again!" Marquess Ahen finally explained everything. He said half-truthfully that he was indeed enslaving the women. For Marquess Ahen, stating this is better than bad things that will be greater and come later to threaten his future.

THE PLAQUE!

One loud slap suddenly filled the voice in the room. The nobles then fell silent and looked at the perpetrator of the cross section.

"Bia*ab!" the screams of a woman, none other than Rubby, echoed throughout the room. The woman could no longer hold back her anger when she heard the statement from Marquess Ahen who managed to stab her wrath.

"Is that how you treat women?" Rubby bit his lower lip. While Zac, he let his wife release her anger right now. Because it was natural for Rubby to be angry, even one slap of Rubby was not enough for Marquess Ahen's crime recompense.

"What do you mean-"

"BABES*NGAN!" Rubby yelled loudly again. The blue-colored eyeball stared intently at Marquess Ahen, and the man could do nothing.

"Your Majesty, can I slap him?" from behind, Diana came with reddened eyes. It seems that it is not only Rubby who is emotionally wrapped at this time. But also dozens, even hundreds of women who lined up here. And Rubby represented him first.

THE PLAQUE!

"You're the one who killed my daughter, right?" Diana shook Marquess Ahen's shoulder. The man's eyes were wide open. "No. I.." he glanced at the nobles, so many whispers were directed at him.

"What's? To kill? A Marquess killed someone?"

"Pus.. My daughter..! My daughter died because of you!" a clear liquid came out from the base of Diana's eyes. The woman who usually strengthens others, will eventually be weak as well in the presence of a man who has killed his daughter.

Yeah, you're a killer.

Flashback, a few years ago

"We are officially divorced. So get out of your life, and live your life with your daughter." said a man with Baron status, he is also a man who has just been the ex-husband of Diana. More precisely, he was still Diana's legal husband in law, but the man no longer wanted to regard Diana as his wife.

"Divorce?" tears came out from the base of the woman's eyes. How could her husband say that so easily? Divorced? even he has not asked for approval from Diana, but why does the man seem to think Diana is his ex-wife now?

"Viona is your daughter, our daughter. You shouldn't have thrown it away either." said Diana with a bitter smile.

"What's? You said as if you didn't love her now, Diana." the man chuckled and looked down on Diana.

"You approved of this marriage yourself, so why did you end it?" Diana smiled, again she let out tears that she could not bear anymore.

"agreed with? Me?" Baron Jones pointed to himself, he again laughed crisply and looked down at Diana. "You should be self-conscious, lowly woman! Ah, no, rather you should be thanking me, because your family is debt free because I want to accept you as a wife. Isn't that right, Diana?" Baron Jones smiled faintly. He cupped Diana's chin with one palm. "Go away from here, then I might be able to give you a free life" the man said.

"ugh.." Diana grimaced softly, yet to him, the pain felt as a result of Baron Jones' hand cupping her face violently is lighter than the pain of a one-party divorce that was suddenly filed by her husband without a legal divorce.

"No, I'm not leaving here! At least, once my daughter grows up, I'll go." Diana tried to focus her gaze.

"What?" Baron Jones screeching. "Ha.. ha. ha.. you want to make a joke, huh?!" the man smiled his smile, but the smile did not at all resemble sincerity. "Don't ever assume that I want to carry a burden like you and your daughter. So, go!" sarcasm Jones humbled Diana.

Diana shook her head slowly, the woman was still stubborn to stay at home like hell.

Blind love? Sure didn't. She did have a taste for her husband, but there was no way she wanted to survive just because of such a stupid thing.

Diana's goal is only one, she wants to give her daughter a decent life. If his son could get decent rights just because he was a man who would later become the ultimate heir, then why not his daughter? Viona is the daughter of Baron Jones and Diana, just like her first male child.

"No. I. I can't leave this house before our daughter, Viona, grows up.." Diana looked slowly. He came back crying, shedding his tears. He is very weak when it comes to his son.

Born from the same womb, should Viona be given a heavy burden just because she is a woman?

Baron Jones smiled faintly, looking at a toddler who of course was his daughter, Viona. A bad plan came to his mind. The man looked back at Diana so intensely that Diana swallowed her coarse saliva.

"I will take care of him and take care of him. As long as you keep out of here." Baron Jones said with a smile on his face. Just like earlier, his smile did not hint at the slightest sincerity.

Diana was speechless a thousand languages, between her and her daughter, which one should she choose?

But the facts convince everything. Viona is a toddler, she no longer needs much breast milk from her mother, Diana. And the only way that Viona can live properly is to settle in this hell-like residence.

Maybe, Viona can live happily. Because of the evilness of the Baron, he could not have hurt his own flesh and blood.

I thought so Diana before everything happened.

But in reality..

Years later, after the separation of Diana and her husband

"Vi.. Viona's? You..my daughter?" Diana took out her clear liquid from the corner of the eye. Back, when a girl came by the street facing him.

In such a narrow and dark room, the girl's face was not so visible. However, a belief Diana remembered most, that her daughter had a birthmark on her neck, and it convinced her that Viona was the girl who was walking smoothly in front of her at this time.

Ah, wait! Why were Diana and her daughter in this dark room? Diana should be in the Imperial Palace, right? She was the mother of Zac's nanny ever since she was banished by her husband, and had settled in the palace. But why? Why is he in that place?

Krekka..

"Well, a breakup that took a while still made a mother remember her daughter, huh?" the sweet smile of a man who suddenly gave light in the dark, narrow room came, he carried a lantern in his hand, as well as a box that had no idea what it contained.

"Marquess.. Ahen? How could you-" Diana be silent. Come to think of it, the reason he was suddenly in this dark place was probably because of someone's actions. But who?? Maybe it's...

Diana bit her lower lip. His steps slowly retreated once the man who was none other than Marquess Ahen walked up to him.

"It seems you misunderstood. I don't want to come near you" Marquess Ahen smiled faintly. His hands hugged the body of the girl who was still walking away with a blank look. His steps came to a halt as Marquess Ahen pulled her waist and hugged the girl's body. "Ah, I want to play tonight" said Marquess Ahen loud enough, and that was enough to make Diana understand the man's intentions.

"Don't mess with my daughter!" diana threatened.

"Your daughter?" Marquess Ahen chuckled softly. The man suddenly kissed Viona's hair and looked back at Diana. He whispered something in Viona's ear but it clearly sounded from Diana's ear because the room was indeed really narrow.

"Do you know him?" marquess Ahen asked, and was then cut off with a headband by Viona.

"Good." Marquess Ahen smiled. On the side, Diana was only speechless staring at her daughter. He did not blame Viona in the least. Because their separation took a very long period of time. It was natural for Viona to not know a mother who had struggled to conceive and give birth to it.

"Viona, I'm your mother. A woman who was already pregnant, even gave birth to you into the world." hoarsely, Diana tried to hold back her tears. It was difficult for him to convince the princess that she was his mother. Because Diana did not leave any photos or other items as a sign that she was her biological mother.

"You...my mother?" Viona started to raise her voice, it managed to invite a smile that made Diana even more beautiful. The woman smiled happily when she heard her daughter's voice.

"Dear, I am your mother..! Your birth mother!" Diana smiled wryly, her cries could not stand it anymore. The woman walked forward and directly hugged Viona's body.

Srett!

"Stay away from my body!" Viona said quite firmly, the girl stared intently at Diana with a feeling that was much different from Diana's.

"Why.."

Diana was silent, what else was the problem? Did she make a mistake so Viona could vigorously push her body? Or the.. Doesn't Viona believe that Diana is her real mother?

"I hate my real mother. I hate the woman who gave birth to me into the world." Viona bit her lower lip. Tears began to come out from the base of her eyes, which made Diana's heart suddenly slashed upon seeing Isak cry Viona. No, not just that. How could Viona say that? How could she not appreciate the struggle of a mother who was even willing to die for the sake of giving birth to her daughter?

It hurts to hear the fact that the daughter from her own womb hates her. Did something happen that made Viona hate her birth mother?

"You shouldn't be telling the truth that you're his mother, you idiot!" the insults coming out of Marquess Ahen's mouth made Diana bite her lower lip. However, on the other hand the woman was silent while looking at her daughter who was still staring intently at her face. A face that does not mean the slightest happiness, but rather a 'hatred'
