A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 476 Sorry, You’re Too Late

The holy light crashed into the center of the green vortex, causing it to instantly crumble. All of the trees around the castle were felled as if violent gusts of winds had forced them into submission.

“The forest star storm has been terminated!”

All of the elves stared up at Irina with awe and veneration in their eyes.

“How could this be?!” Schubert’s eyes widened with shock. That was his signature ultimate forbidden spell, but it had been destroyed by Irina’s holy light in seconds. Hadn’t she been severely wounded and debilitated when she had returned to the Wind Forest three years ago?

However, Irina wasn’t going to stand around and patiently answer his questions. She had already disappeared.

Crap! A hint of caution welled up in Schubert’s heart, and he waved his wand to summon a wall consisting of countless vines. At the same time, he attempted to hurtle back in retreat.

However, right at that moment, dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the ball of light that he had been encapsulated in. It contracted violently, instantly immobilizing him. He hadn’t sensed any danger from the ball of light, as it wasn’t an offensive spell, but a binding one instead!

Schubert’s heart jolted with shock, and he began to chant a spell to create a green shield of light around him. The shield’s color became more and more pronounced, and he frantically looked around, trying to determine where Irina would appear. The sealing magic was only a temporary one, and he would be able to break free from it in three more seconds.

Irina’s power had indeed exceeded his expectations. Three years ago, she had returned to the Wind Forest and birthed a half-elf child. In the process, she had bled profusely, leading to a drastic drop in her power. Mistress Helena had declared that she would never be able to recover her power as a 10th-tier great magic caster. However, just from the holy light she had summoned to destroy his forest star storm, Schubert could determine that she was already back to full power. In fact, she could be even more powerful than three years ago.

However, he wasn’t cast into despair after making that realization. With his status and the contributions that he had made to the elven race, Mistress Helena and the queen definitely wouldn’t allow him to die like this.

He had already made up his mind: after today, he would join forces with the other major officials to exert pressure on the queen, forcing her to abolish Irina’s status as the princess. A new princess would then be chosen from one of the major families. He was aware of the fact that Irina had birthed a child with a human, so even the queen had to be wary of him in case he spread this news.

“I think you know why I want to kill you.” Golden light flashed behind Schubert, and Irina slowly emerged. She raised her staff with a frosty expression, and said, “You and everyone who played a role in that incident back then… I will find and kill them one by one. I won’t forgive anyone who hurt him and my child.”

“No! You can’t kill me, Irina! This will be viewed as treason!” Schubert felt as if his entire body had been plunged into a glacial pit as he sensed the magic waves materializing behind him. He suddenly thought back to that rainy night three years ago, and that man who had fought valiantly with a child strapped to his chest. His voice had been just as cold back then.

At the time, all he did was spectate and unleash a few spells from time to time to distract him. He was indeed very powerful. Schubert had never seen such a powerful knight, but he was only one person in the end, and was no match for all of them.

Schubert still recalled the frosty look in his eyes as he supported himself with his sword. Even though he had already been disabled, his expression still sent chills running down Schubert’s spine.

“Irina, stop!” The space warped nearby, and Helena appeared in the mid-air with her wand pointed directly at Irina.

“Irina, let him go.” A gentle voice also sounded at the same time. No one could see where the voice had come from, but all of the elves present bowed their heads in a respectful manner.

“Splat!”

A burst of sharp golden light erupted from Irina’s staff, piercing through the green magic shield before striking the back of Schubert’s head. Several magic barriers had been set up, including even a golden one, but they were still unable to stop her devastating attack.

Blood and white intracranial fluids splattered out from his shattered skull as the green light shield crumbled. Schubert’s eyes were still wide open in disbelief even as the vitality faded from his body.

“Sorry, you’re too late.” Irina turned to Helena with a mocking smile. Faint golden light shimmered around her staff, cleansing all impurities as if she had just killed an annoying fly.

“Master Schubert’s dead!!!”

The Krol Family elves were all horrified at the sight of Schubert’s lifeless body.

As one of the most powerful elven families, they were already used to living under Schubert’s protection. However, the pillar of the Krol had been felled without any warning nor reason by Irina, and all of them felt as if the sky were falling on their heads.

“The princess killed the smiling devil! She killed Schubert!” The enslaved elves all looked up at Irina as adrenaline and excitement pumped through their veins.

The leader of the Krol, a 10th-tier great magic caster, the official presiding over punishments in the elven race. He had devised one law after another to strip them of their freedom, reducing them to lowly slaves. Now that he had fallen under Princess Irina’s hands, all of them felt as if holy light were shining down upon their hearts, and that freedom was close within reach.

The guests attending the banquet were all horrified. If even someone as important as Schubert had been killed for enslaving elves, then what would become of them?

“Irina, do you know what you’ve done?!” Helena glowered at Irina with a cold expression.

“Mistress Helena! You have to uphold justice for us! Princess Irina suddenly turned up and killed my brother without any reason. My brother is a highly revered and respected figure in the elven race, and he dedicated his entire life to bettering our race, but he has fallen in such heartbreaking circumstances. An explanation must be provided!” Schubert’s brother rushed forward with a grief-stricken expression.

“Mistress Helena, Your Majesty, please uphold justice for us!” The Krol Family members all fell to their knees in unison.

Helena’s expression cooled even further, and black light surged behind her as if she were a volcano on the brink of eruption.

“Do you really not know why I killed him, Helena?” Irina turned to Helena with mockery in her eyes. Her long silver hair danced in the air around her, and she completely disregarded the members of the Krol Family.

“According to elven laws, anyone who kills an elven official without a justifiable reason will have judgment passed down upon them by the panel of elders. Irina, you’ve committed a heinous crime; you must be punished even if you’re the princess. Do not resist and I won’t hurt you.” Helena raised a hand, and the clear skies were suddenly obscured by an inky black night. The entire Wind Forest was enshrouded in darkness, with only a bright moon and specks of starlight in the sky. Helena stood in mid-air with starlight shimmering down on her, making her appear as if she were an omnipotent goddess.

“I only know our elven laws of nature; I don’t care about your bullsh*t elven laws. Using human laws to restrict elves is nothing but a joke. Helena, if you want a fight, then a fight is what you shall get!” Irina stepped forward, and dazzling light erupted from the tip of her staff as if a bonfire had been lit in the night.

At the same time, scintillating light began to glow in the cave where the tree of light was situated. A burst of green light pierced through the darkness before injecting itself into Irina’s body, creating a bond between the two.
