Village Head's Debauchery

"High King, you have been truly blessed with wonderful children. One is ready to sacrifice his life for his junior brother, while the junior brother seeks to repay his efforts by bestowing one of god Aerendir's Divine artefacts upon him. This will undoubtedly help High Prince Kael further solidify his authority as the next High King of the Pixie kingdom," chimed in another High Elder, his voice filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Their voices sounded out one by one in appreciation.

Meanwhile, some of those who had been happy that Fourth Prince Alden was one of the few to have obtained one of the two Divine artefacts suddenly frowned upon hearing that he would be handing it over to High Prince Kael. Considering the Fourth Prince's current status, which was considered the lowest among the royal family, they had hoped to use this opportunity to groom him into a suitable High King or someone more respectable for the future.

They knew that regardless, his standing would be equal to or higher than the High King's, so they were displeased with his seemingly foolish judgment. They knew that High Prince Kael didn't possess the exemplary character to be the next High King due to the unacceptable behaviours he had been displaying lately.

Nevertheless, they didn't raise their voices, fearing being branded as High Prince Kael's opposition. Instead, they decided to wait patiently until they could speak to him privately and convince him to reconsider his decision.

As for the others, their gazes briefly glanced at Second Prince Bran before refocusing back on Fourth Prince Alden, their minds filled with various thoughts racing.

Despite the loud words of appreciation from the High elders and elders behind him, High King Eldric didn't pay much attention to them. His focus remained on Prince Alden, scrutinizing him from head to toe with a solemn expression. Eventually, he nodded in understanding.

"Very well, your reasons for your actions are valid," High King Eldric acknowledged. "If you want to do that, then you can do it. I am certain that your First elder brother would be thankful to have a brother like you. Also, as long as the Divine artefacts of god Aerendir remain in the royal family's possession, I don't care who possesses them. So, it's okay if you choose to change your mind later on," he said, his voice firm.

"Also, from today onward, I will remove any crimes or false accusations against you and ensure that anybody who still dares to slander your name will be locked up in a dungeon, with the keys thrown away," he added.

He had always believed that his fourth son was falsely accused of all the allegations and crimes levelled against him, and fortunately, his son's actions today proved him right. He truly was an upright son.

"Thank you for your support, father. Without you, none of this would have happened today," Prince Alden said, sighing gratefully.

He then summoned back the golden threads, causing them to disappear out of thin air and turn into a stream of light that returned to his chest.

Hearing Prince Alden's appreciative words, High King Eldric's smile widened even more. "Let's us return to the castle as quickly as we can—" he began, but just as he was about to turn around and soar into the sky again, Princess Morgana's voice suddenly rang. "Father, I would also like to hand over my divine artefact to my First brother," she said quickly.

Princess Morgana summoned her 'Aquilus Clear Water,' causing a large stream of water to materialize out of thin air and float around her.

The clear stream of water captured the dazed attention of High King Eldric, the High Elders, and everyone else in the area.

However, it wasn't just the sight that stunned them; it was her words. They all questioned whether they had heard her correctly.

"What do you say, child?" High King Eldric said, almost staggering as he landed back on the ground. His eyes were fixed on Princess Morgana. He needed confirmation that he had heard her correctly.

"You heard me correctly; I would also like to hand over my Divine artefact to our First brother. However, unlike Fourth Brother, I have one condition," Princess Morgana responded.

Silence immediately enveloped their environment.

Their eyes widened in shock at the revelation that Princess Morgana intended to give her Divine artefact to High Prince Kael. The prospect of him wielding two Divine artefacts was enough for him to cement his unrivalled authority in the kingdom. It was risky to consolidate the entirety of the Pixie race's inheritance into one individual's hands.

Prince Bran, however, couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief. Two of his junior siblings who had obtained the inheritance of god Aerendir casually relinquished it as though it held no significance.

Am I that invisible to you? Aren't I also your senior brother? Is it wise for one person to wield such immense power?

High King Eldric narrowed his eyes at Princess Morgana. "On brother? Is it wise for one person to wield such immense power?

what condition?" he asked. Though his sixth daughter's words shocked him, he was more curious about her condition.

A condition made in exchange for a Divine artefact wouldn't be simple, right?

"I will willingly hand over the Divine artefact to our First brother on the condition that our marriage is annulled, and we are free to engage with whomever we want," Princess Morgana said.

As she finished speaking, she sensed a fierce, piercing gaze behind her. She didn't need to turn around to see who it was; it was obvious that the only one troubled by her request was her First sister.

High King Eldric wore a contemplative expression as he regarded Princess Morgana. "Are you certain about this condition of yours? I'm sure you might have already considered this, but allow me to reiterate: you and High Prince Kael are the only ones with the purest bloodline in the royal family. If you proceed with your condition, not only will it dilute the royal family's pure bloodline, but it will also weaken our strength," he said.
