"Do you think so?" Revalor looked at his sister-in-law dubiously. He doubted that Tang Shaoyang would let off his second son after trying to kill his wife.
"I am not sure, but this is the best chance for us to strengthen our relationship with him. Just telling you that he has not touched me yet." Aleesa warned her brother-in-law. "If you want to take the bet and are willing to hand over Arbane, I will talk it out with him. I will do my best to ask for his forgiveness."
"No!" Queen Ava barged into the room and interrupted the conversation. "You can't do that, Aleesa. Didn't you remember what your husband said? Everyone deserves a second chance but not my Arbane."
"But if he finds out that we are lying to him, not just Arbane will die, but The Elven!" Aleesa shook her head. "I know you love Arbane, but there's a chance that Alissa and Virion will die if you lie if you do that. You know that, right?" She looked her sister in the eyes.
Queen Ava stumped when she was reminded of that. She could not deny that. If Lord Tang found out about their trick, not just Arbane would be in danger but everyone, including her first son and her only daughter. She looked at her husband as she did not know what to do anymore at this point.
"Do you promise that you will talk this out with your husband?" Revalor lost his wits when it came to Tang Shaoyang. Just like Aleesa said, this was the best chance for all of them. "But can you convince him if he has not even touched you yet?"
"Unless you have a better solution, then I will follow your plan. However, if you insist on swapping the culprit, I will not follow your plan. So if Lord Tang asks anything about Arbane, I will tell him anything that my husband wants to know about your second son." Aleesa did not try to hide that she was not going to help them with their crazy plan.
Of course, the reason she did not want to help was because of the Marriage Oath. Tang Shaoyang told her that she could not betray him or else the oath would be against her. She did not know hiding this from him was an act of betrayal or not, but she would not want to take the risk. If the oath detected this as an act of betrayal, then not just her would die, but also The Elven.
'On top of that, this is my new family. I have started to think for the Empire's benefit rather than The Elven Kingdom.'

On the other side, Virion was trying his best to buy time for his father. But he could only do this much when Lord Tang Shaoyang said this to him. "Don't you have to go with your people? You can go and celebrate the coronation with your people, but I want you to return in two days."
Elven King Virion nodded his head. If he stayed longer while trying to flatter his Lord, the latter might be suspicious of him. Virion had no choice but to nod and left Lord Tang alone in the room.
After Virion left the room, Alton, Moonsong, Ashley, Selena, and Sylvia entered. It was him who called them over. He tapped his index finger on the table and looked at Chief Moon, Sylvia, and Alton. "Do you know an Elf named Arbane?" When he brought that name, he noticed a change of expression on Chief Moon and Sylvia.
"That name sounds familiar to me." Alton rubbed his chin and thought the name carefully. Before he could remember the name, Moonsong spoke first. "Arbane is the Elven Kingdom's second prince. He is Virion's younger brother."
Alton went with, "Ah!" and nodded his head repeatedly. "No wonder I felt like the name is familiar because he is the Elven Kingdom's second prince. What's wrong, My Lord? Did he say something to you?"
"This is interesting." Tang Shaoyang smiled. So the attacker was The Elven Kingdom's second prince, but why did he attack me? No, he was not attacking me, but Sylvia.
"Talking about Second Prince Arbane, aren't you supposed to marry him?" Alton suddenly turned toward Sylvia, but the old knight soon realized his mistake. Sylvia was not just a mere Moonlight Maiden but his Lord's wife. "I apologize for my impudence, Lady Sylvia."
"Ah!" Tang Shaoyang immediately understood what had happened. He finally understood why the attacker chose to kill Sylvia instead of him. "I was engaged to Second Prince Arbane before, but we have canceled the engagement. Also, I swear that Second Prince Arbane has not touched me yet, My Lord." Sylvia hastily explained before things went south.
"It's okay." Tang Shaoyang waved his hand indifferently. 'They must be talking with Aleesa now since she is not here. Let's see what they will do.' He then glanced at Alton. "Send a message to Aki, get the force ready to fight."
Everyone in the room was shocked by his order. "Don't worry, just tell them for a potential fight." He did not know what Revalor would do for his second son, but it was better safe than sorry. Especially, Revalor did not have the responsibility for The Elven Kingdom anymore.
Even though Alton was confused with the sudden command, he did not question his Lord and made his move. "Yes, My Lord." Alton got up and left the room. After he left the room, a knock rang. "It's me, Aleesa, My Lord. Can I enter?"
After Tang Shaoyang answered 'yes', the door opened. Aleesa entered the room with Revalor and another stunning elf woman. He had seen this elf woman, the previous Elven Queen. She was there when Revalor welcomed him earlier.
As soon as the couple entered the room, the couple knelt toward Tang Shaoyang. "Lord Tang Shaoyang, we ask for your forgiveness for what our second son did to you.. We wish for the Great Lord's benevolence and forgive our second son."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
