Volume 5 Chapter 80: It’s Time

"What is going on?" Alfia frowned. All the elves on the island were called into the main lobby. Iston had even used his imperial title to call everyone here. That was rare.

"Brother Licht, what's the matter?" Alfia turned to Licht. He had been out of it these last few days. However, the person never told her about it, which worried her.

"That fool is trying to do something crazy. That's what." Licht groaned.

"Hmm?" Faelyn and Alfia frowned.

"Thank you for gathering, everyone!" Iston was on top of the second floor. He smiled, "You all must be wondering why I call you here." He took a deep sigh before he stated,

"The reason is simple! Don't you think it's time for us, elves, to show our superiority!"

"!" Alfia's expression dropped when she heard that!

"We, elves, had been suffering under the suppression of other races! However, the time is now! We must show everyone that we are not to be trifled with!" Iston's words were powerful.

"..." The other elves felt a deep connection to what he said.

He was right. Elves had been sought out by others due to their beauty and figure. Even after these years, the anger had never subsided.

"Follow me! I shall show you a new world never seen before! It shall be us who shall be number one!" Iston declared!

"Are you kidding me?!" However, there was one person who didn't share the same sentiments.

"What is the matter, Sister?" Iston stared at Alfia.

"What you're doing is trying to incite a war with the other races!" That was definitely what Iston planned to do. Iston shook his head,

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

"I'm not trying to incite a war. That war started long ago." That war was never started by him. Even though the war ended between each race, that didn't mean it subsided. Each race still had hatred for the other. It showed in the academy.

"We will never understand the other. And why should we? We are the superior race!"

"We're not the superior race!" Alfia grabbed her head. How could this person be thinking of something like that?!

"Have you no elven pride, Sister?!"

"This had nothing to do with pride! What you're doing is nothing more to increase your chances for the throne!" Alfia understood what Iston's end goal was: to increase his influence!

However, that made it even worse! And it seemed these elves didn't understand what was going on.

A majority were affected by Iston's words, while the minority was with Alfia.

"Sister, are you going to face me?" Iston smirked.

"If it means stopping you from doing something to ruin our race, then yes!" Alfia stepped up. She couldn't let this happen. This was going to cause further strife.

"Sister," "Princess," Licht and Faelyn's expressions changed.

"I have to. We can't let this person do whatever he wants."

"Come forward, sister!" Iston laughed as he jumped down from the second floor. The elves quickly made way for the two. It was going to be a fight between two royalties.

Alfia was the first person to make a move as she fired magic. However, Iston snapped his fingers and created a barrier.

"Sister, many elders said you're the strongest mage of the century. However, is that really so?" Iston talked.

"Shut it and fight." Alfia used fire magic. However, Iston used water magic to deal with her. He's using the concept of elemental weakness.

Figures. Iston was taught in the academy as well. However,

"Tch!" Iston groaned as he looked down at his shoulder. Her magic landed.

Alfia wasn't done as she continued to fire. Her ability to quickly cast was something the elves marveled at.

"The princess has become so powerful!"

"Is the prince going to lose?"

However,

"Agh!" Alfia screamed.

What in the world?! The elves were confused. One minute, Alfia was winning and was going to finish Iston. But the next second, she was swaying around like a drunk!

"Heh," Iston didn't hesitate as he fired magic straight at her!

"Princess!" Faelyn wanted to get closer to her. However, two elves got up,

"She lost," Iston scoffed, "Take her and lock her in her room."

Two elves had dragged Alfia into her room.

"Right now! We need to take action against the others!" Iston stated with a calm expression.

"Who is with me?!"

"We are!" They couldn't say anything to refute it. Iston had become the only royal to follow.

...

"Good job, Princes Iston." His aide bowed his head.

"It was nothing." Iston had a big grin. The minority who had been against Iston had been under Alfia. However, with her gone, they had no choice but to follow him!

"Who do we attack first, Prince Iston?" One of the elves questioned. Since they would display their might, who should they go to?

"The first target will be the beastmen. Those barbarians need to be taken out." Iston already had his eyes on the target.

"And we shall deal with the first years," Unlike the others, they were still unorganized. And there was one person he set his eyes on.
