"What? Governor Elfino is being investigated too? But she’s a Dragon Fairy, how could that be?"
"The Augustus family is getting more and more outrageous, how dare they behave so recklessly?"
"Do you know what charges they have against Governor Elfino?"
"Violating the Kingdom’s laws, opposing the Kingdom’s review, disloyalty to the Kingdom, constructing buildings beyond standard for palace use, accepting banquets from foreign royalty and major nobles, abusing her position to gain benefits in official selection and appointment, accepting bribes from numerous major guilds, providing political protection, occupying large tracts of forests, selling power to foreign forces..."
"I haven’t finished yet, there are twenty-four charges against Governor Elfino."
The Great Fairy who hadn’t finished reciting, said eagerly.
"Are they crazy? Those guys, don’t they know the status of Governor Elfino among the fairies?"
Although the number of Dragon Fairies is no longer so rare now, with a total of seventeen Dragon Fairies born thus far, the status among Dragon Fairies isn’t the same.
The first three Dragon Fairies born have now become insurmountable mountains in the heart of fairies, they are the three giants among a million fairies, and Elfino is one of these three giants, with a chance to rise as the Fairy Queen in the future, reappearing as a legendary existence.
Such a special status is not only reflected among the fairy group, but when fairies enter human civilization and hold power, this status is also reflected in their positions.
Elfino serves as the Great Governor of the Capital, a position that is the pinnacle of political careers for fairies, just like her status as one of the three giants, she is an existence looked up to by millions of fairies.
But now, the mountain in the eyes of fairies has come crashing down. Twenty-four charges, each a heavy crime, it seems simply stripping her of her position and seizing her property isn’t enough to atone for the guilt.
"Fairy? Are you still asleep, dreaming? The people of Augustus have already stopped respecting us fairies, otherwise, where did they get the courage to investigate Governor Elfino?"
"Is this a lack of respect for us? This is clearly disrespecting the Holy Dragon Emperor!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you mean to sever the relationship between the Augustus family and His Majesty?"
"What sever? This is the truth, the Augustus family no longer needs Noah, they’re purging Noah’s influence in the Kingdom."
"Exactly, Noah’s Book has already stopped printing, I believe it won’t be long before all versions of Noah’s Book become forbidden books."
"Stop talking nonsense, there are still fairies employed in Uther, if these words spread, it would be very dangerous for them."
"What’s dangerous about it, at worst they all come back, and we’ll go to Fairy Town to plant Magic Potions together!"
"What are you thinking? Do you think Fairy Town is big enough to accommodate so many fairies? There’s no place for us now, it’s already packed!"
Outside the platform, the chatter and arguments of the fairies were endless. Similar discussions have been happening since the first batch of fairies were relieved of their duties and sent back, but it wasn’t until Dragon Fairy Elfino was relieved of her position that the topic peaked in intensity among the fairy community.
Because with the investigation by the Augustus family into the fairy governing group, a large number of fairies were stripped of their duties, their illegal gains seized, becoming fairies without employment, property, or purpose.
Such fairies could only gather noisily around Noah’s palace, hoping Noah would step in and regain all they lost.
They felt they were treated unfairly, although they were adept at accepting bribes, these skills weren’t innate, they learned from humans.
Compared to human officials, fairies thought themselves much better; though they accepted bribes, they delivered results and never oppressed civilians or seized properties from the lower ranks.
The fairies’ somewhat dirty bribery practices stopped at the upper middle level, and in the lower levels, their reputation was surprisingly good.
Many children regarded the city fairies as angelic beings. Because the essence of fairies is not malicious, and when in a good mood, they’d aid and rescue the weak.
"Your Highness, are their voices disturbing you? I’ll order a ban on discussions related to the Capital right away."
The Dragon Fairy Sifreya, who served beside Noah, noticed the fairies’ noise below the platform, which seemed to disturb Noah as he basked in the sunlight, and proactively suggested.
"There’s no need for that, if I even forbid verbal venting, that would be too harsh, I’m not a tyrant."
Noah intervened, then showed a thoughtful look in his eyes,
"Besides, the unemployment rate of fairies now is indeed too high, with nothing to do they naturally gather to chat. As the Sect Master, it’s indeed my duty to solve these issues."
"But didn’t you say before that you wouldn’t interfere with the Kingdom’s affairs?"
Sifreya asked in confusion.
"I’m just raising the employment rate, I don’t need to interfere in the Kingdom’s affairs, I can still assign all the fairies work, my territory isn’t small."
