Chapter 4124
The group in the stone palace burst into laughter, and the tension in the air dissolved into merriment and joy.
The fiend race was terrifyingly powerful and was a huge threat to the Demon tribe. They had avoided a confrontation with
the fiend race, so of course, they were gleeful.
'Your Majesty."
Just then, a servant entered in hurried strides. There was uncontainable joy on her face as she greeted the White Tiger
King. "The High Lady is awake."
The stone palace instantly became more abuzz with celebration, glee written on all the elders' faces.
'Wonderful, Lady Leia has woken up too!"
"What a great day it is for the Demon tribe."
"That's right!"
The White Tiger King smiled. His chest felt light.
His daughter had finally woken up after being unconscious for over a day.
On the other hand, Oliver stood rooted to the spot in the middle of the palace. All the previous joy on his face had vanished
entirely. 1
Leia had woken up, and the truth would be out soon.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Black Tortoise King, too, had an unreadable expression on his face.
"Let's go."
The White Tiger King smiled at the servant girl and said, "Bring me to her."
They exited the stone palace.
'Father!'
The unease in Oliver's chest multiplied even quicker. He said, "What should we do?"
The Black Tortoise King took a deep breath before speaking in a comforting tone. "Don't
fear. You will have to face the music either way. Plus, you just did a great deed. The White
Tiger King won't be too harsh on you.'
The Black Tortoise King waved his hands. "Let's go have a look."
Oliver's heart calmed slightly. He turned to follow in the Black Tortoise King's lead, heading
toward Leia's room.
Meanwhile, in Leia's room.
Leia sat on the bed, her body throbbing with aching pain. Even her head felt heavy. She
took in her surroundings and stopped short.
Was that the new territory?
That could not be it. Had she not been drugged by Oliver?
The thought of what had happened filled Leia with shameful rage. To think she had trusted
that b*stard! In return, he had taken advantage of her.
Leia got even more furious when she thought about it and moved to get off the bed.
"Leia."
Just then, she heard her name from outside her room before the door opened-the White
Tiger King, Colori Phoenix, as well as a few Demon elders went into the room.
The White Tiger King was joyous and relieved to see Leia awake. He walked forward,
clutched Leia's hand in his, and spoke in a comforting tone. "My darling daughter, I'm so
glad to see you're fine. I'm so sorry you had to go through what you did in the past few
days."
As he continued to speak, the White Tiger King's expression darkened in anger. "It's all my
fault for trusting the wrong man. I can't believe that Darryl Darby would do something so
despicable. To think that I sent you to take care of him too. What a mistake that was!
Thank heavens you're fine. What a relief!"
What?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeia's face drew a blank.
What did her father say?
He had trusted the wrong man? Darryl Darby was a b*stard?
None of it added up at all.
Just as Leia frowned, Colon spoke up along with the other elders.
"Rest well, Leia. That despicable imbecile Darryl Darby has met his fate."
"Yes, don't you worry about it too much. Get as much rest as you can."
"Even if Darryl Darby lives, the Demon tribe promises to take revenge on your behalf if we ever see him again."
As they spoke, the Black Tortoise King and Oliver remained silent at the back of the room.
Leia was even more confused.
What was going on? Why were they all blaming Honorable Master Darby?
Honorable Master Darby had not laid a single finger on her.
Leia finally opened her mouth to ask the White Tiger King. "What are you all talking about, Father? What did Honorable
Master Darby do to me?"
The White Tiger King thought his daughter was still hazy from Darryl's ministrations and grew angry. He said through gritted
teeth, "My dear daughter, how could you have forgotten? Darryl Darby spiked you with Essence of Delusion to take
advantage of you. Thankfully Oliver made it to the scene in time to stop him."
