Rudra raised his hand like he was in school , waiting for Frey to give him permission to speak.

Frey said " You may speak Bishop Shakuni ".

Rudra said " May I suggest a way to verify the claims of her majesty the Queen? ".

Everyone was take by surprise , the honorary Bishop was indeed a resourceful person to say the least.

Pelopne glared daggers at Rudra ... Was this man only be satisfied by her ruin and nothing else? What was his motive behind his actions anyway , he was not a part of the kingdom , he would not benefit with interfering with their world , then why? Why was he doing this?

Frey nodded , he asked Rudra to elaborate.

Rudra said " the elven kingdom should be in possession of the flames of Truth. Made from the fires of the flame god Agni himself , the flames turn from Blue to red in someone is lying and to green if they say the truth. Why not use the artifact to verify the Queen's claims , King Frey ".

Frey arched an eyebrow , he did not expect the foreigner about the flames of Truth. It was a legendary grade artifact and the only one in the world , a priced collection of the Elves its existence was very highly protected.

Frey marked Rudra , it was mostly because the guy was genuinely a Oracle , that is why he knew things others would not know , however in the off chance he was not. Then he was someone who needed to be monitored closely , he knew too much ! ".

Pelopne said " My dear , we do not need to verify my words , the queen of the elves will not face any questions about her moral character. ".

She pleaded with fear evident in her voice to Frey. She knew that if the flames were indeed brought out here she would be caught. There would be no more escape.

Frey already knew that Pelopne was guilty , but he had to save the face and prestige?of the royal family , even just for show. Hence he said " I will bring out the flames Bishop , but you will put your freedom on the line , should you be found to be lying , you shall be imprisoned in the dungeons and whipped hundred times everyday for the next 3 years , do you accept it ".

He questioned Rudra , Pelopne beamed , he hoped that this would deter Rudra. But Rudra only instantly agreed , he said " Sure ,I agree ".

Frey nodded , he told his general to bring out the flames.

It was at this point , that Rudra started explaining his plan to Jhonny , Yume and Karna. Jhonny was tasked with not letting a seemingly unimpressive minister escape the court. While Yume was tasked with restraining the Royal prince once he bolts.

Finally Rudra murmured to Karna about his bit in his ears. Karna's eyes widened in shock , but he quickly agreed.

5 minuted passed and the flames were brought in the court.

The dazzling blue flames were beautiful to watch , even though they were only as large as a plate. They burned soo intensely that the temperature of the room increased by almost 5-7 degrees because of its presence.

Frey motioned towards Pelopne saying. " Go on , prove the human wrong , let's get this over with Dear ".

His eyes gleaming coldly , the way he said let's get this over with , made Pelopne feel a deep chill down her spine , it felt like he was threatening to kill her life.

Walking slowly towards the flame , Pelopne suddenly tried to bold away and towards the exit. However before she could even take three steps the royal guards had snubbed her to the ground and restrained her.

Pelopne started to wail " You barbarian Frey , how dare you let your wife be questioned like that. I spit on you , yes I cheated on you with a servant , but that is because u only had that bitch Sara in your eyes , I was never loved for , never cared for , it was only one night but the servant got me pregnant , his seed was much more potent than yours which failed ten ti....".

Before she could complete her words , her head flew off her shoulder. She was dead! Killed in the court before hundreds of people by the royal guards .

The queen of the Elves was a cheater and the first prince was a bastard who was not even a high elf!

The once silenced crowd erupted In clamours , this was an earth shattering event for the Elven kingdom .

Rumi knew he had no more options left , he could only use his ultimate skill and escape from this place. However not before killing Ruby first. If she could not become his , he would not let her become any one else's either.

He was only waiting for his chance. And that chance appeared when the king rose from his throne to pick up the decapitated head of his mother.

He felt very bad that his loving mother was dead , however he committed the name and face of the culprit behind her death , the honorary Bishop Shakuni and swore to avenge her someday. Finally he activated his special ability invisibility as in the chaos he silently disappeared from all eyes.

Dagger in hand he planned on assasinating the princess before escaping.

The royal guards around him suddenly panicked , as the prisoner they were guarding had suddenly dissapeared , their detection skills could not find him .

Rumi was very confident in his skill , as it stemmed from a semi legendary artifact , it avoided all detection spells and made one dissapear to naked vision.

However unbeknownst to him , a certain vice guild master of the True Elites guild , had closed his eyes. Using his minds eye to scan the room , he could still see the wicked prince with his dagger out....

Karna smiled , he got him!
