"Oh, right, I forgot old women like you aren't liked by anyone and don't have children either."
Cipher's tone was even more filled with mockery.
Caenis looked at Cipher, wanting to pull out a weapon and stab her to death.
"Ah, so scary, so scary." Cipher patted her full, firm chest and grabbed Derick's shoulder, moving behind him.
"Derry, you'll protect me, right?"
Seeing Cipher's actions, Castorice silently clenched her fists.
I'll protect you from Caenis's attack, but I wouldn't dare move with Castorice's intense killing intent over there, Derick thought to himself.
He continued speaking in a clear voice, "Come on, everyone, take a look. So an Elder of the Elder Council can randomly harm Okhema's citizens. Then I wonder, will the other Elders of the Elder Council also face such a day?"
As he said this, the expressions of the Elder Council members looking at Caenis turned quite unfriendly.
It was one thing for you to fight with Aglaea for power and profit, and trying to uncover the secrets of Derick's body was also fine.
But now you've stooped to a whole series of despicable acts, from kidnapping to planning a dissection; this has crossed the line. And these despicable acts have even been exposed.
Apart from Caenis's die-hard loyalists, the Elders in the Elder Council all had the thought of punishing Caenis for her actions.
Aglaea also walked to the center of the plaza to speak.
"Fellow Elders, I propose that at the Citizen Assembly, in addition to my self-criticism regarding the failure at Suspended Sword City and the inquiry into the secrets of Derick's body, we add another item: the impeachment of Elder Council member Caenis."
Caenis's loyalists naturally objected strongly, but the remaining Elders, amidst hesitation, chose to support Aglaea's statement.
"Since you can impeach Lady Aglaea for her mistakes, then Lady Aglaea can also initiate the same inquiry and impeachment," an Elder said.
Lycurgus slowly spoke, "Now, in the presence of Talanton and Kephale, let the Elders vote on whether Lady Aglaea's proposal passes."
The Elders present began to vote.
In the end, even with Caenis's loyalists obstructing, the impeachment resolution passed. Elder Caenis and the Golden Lineage's Aglaea would both need to face the inquiry of the Citizen Assembly.
Derick, Aglaea, Castorice, Mydei, and the others left happily.
Cipher and Tribbie had incredibly bright smiles on their faces, and Aglaea and Castorice were also smiling. Even Mydei, when passing by Caenis, directly said, 'Tsk'.
The Elders next to Caenis wanted to flip out and start a fight, but Caenis reached out and stopped him.
Only after Derick and Aglaea had gone far away did Caenis coldly say, "You still have a long way to go if you want to compare yourself to Mydei."
Her subordinate anxiously asked her, "Lady Caenis, what should we do next? If they pull something again at the Citizen Assembly, we will be even more passive."
"Regarding those accusations, we currently have no way to deny them," Caenis said to her subordinates after a moment of contemplation.
As she spoke, she secretly gritted her teeth.
It's all that Cipher's fault. If it weren't for her, how could we be so passive?
If I ever get the chance to deal with the Golden Lineage, I will definitely kill Cipher first, Caenis thought.
After a moment of contemplation, she said to her subordinates, "If we cannot deny it, then what we need to do is make this matter worthwhile. If it can be confirmed that the secrets of Derick's body are indeed helpful to our Okhema, then I will have many more things I can do and explain."
"But, we can't even touch Derick's body. How can we investigate the secrets of Derick's body?"
Caenis's subordinate asked.
Caenis slowly said, "It's naturally not good for us to approach him, but what if it's people from the Grove of Epiphany? Anaxagoras, one of the Seven Sages of the Grove of Epiphany and the founder of the Nousporists, if he knew about Derick's situation, given his personality, he would definitely find a way to study the secrets of his body. With him around, we can save our strength and do more things."
As she spoke, a hint of vengeful pleasure appeared on her face.
"That Excellency has a huge conflict with Aglaea."
"Derry, how did I do?" Cipher patted Derick's shoulder, wanting to get closer.
"Mm, thanks to you today, Cipher."
Derick nodded repeatedly.
Even Castorice nodded in acknowledgment, "Today's matter was indeed thanks to Miss Cipher."
Cipher proudly puffed out her chest, then looked at Derick and said in a seductive tone, "Seeing me operate , don't you think the life of a thief is very interesting? Are you interested in joining me?"
"Miss Cipher, although what you did today helped us a lot. But the work of a thief is very dangerous. If something goes wrong due to a slight carelessness, it will truly be too late for regrets."
Castorice said faintly.
Clearly, she was talking about Cipher's blunder today.
Hearing Castorice mention her blunder, Cipher couldn't help but clench her fists and glance at Aglaea.
Evidently, her recent experience hadn't been so pleasant.
Seeing this, Trinnon quickly changed the subject, "Let's talk about Caenis instead."
Trianne nodded repeatedly from the side.
"This time, we must make that woman leave the Elder Council."
As several people were chatting, Tribbie glanced at Aglaea and noticed that her expression was extremely unsightly at the moment.
"Aglaea, what's wrong?" Tribbie asked Aglaea with concern.
"Nothing, just an annoying Dading Beast is coming over."
Aglaea said, lightly biting her silver teeth.
Dading Beast? Annoying?
Derick was a little puzzled when he heard Aglaea's words, but then he immediately understood.
Is she talking about Anaxa?
Aglaea, who inherited the Core Flame of the Romance Titan, was usually very rational, but she seemed to have placed all her irrationality onto Anaxa.
"When he arrives in Okhema, it will be necessary to monitor and restrict him immediately. Otherwise, he will bring considerable destruction to Okhema."
Aglaea muttered to herself.
Hyacine, listening from the side, quickly defended Anaxa, "Um, Lady Aglaea, Teacher, he wouldn't do that."
Castorice actually also held Anaxa in high regard.
She glanced at Derick.
"Teacher should probably stay in the Grove of Epiphany to conduct research and not come to Okhema for the time being," Castorice thought to herself.
