Chapter 478 Are You Blind?

"Schubert was also one of the main advocators for the elven laws, and in the past few years, he has changed those laws as he saw fit. Those aren't laws; they're just rules invented to benefit him so he can control other elves more easily. Countless elves have struggled amid crushing despair and lost their lives in attempts to resist this oppressive system. If all lives are meant to be equal, then what gives the elves from the major families the right to kill other elves without any consequence? Should they not be killed for those crimes?" Irina looked at Helena with a sneer on her face as she continued, "What's the point of having a system of laws like this? Are you allowed to do whatever you want just because the weaker elves can't resist? Even the humans of Rodu aren't as filthy as all of you!

"That's why I killed him. He deprived countless elves of their freedom, and killed countless more innocent elves. For those crimes, he deserved to die." Irina raised her voice as a vehement look appeared in her eyes, and she said, "Helena, do you know how many elves left the Wind Forest after you forcibly implemented your new social system? Over 20% of our population was forced out of their homes! They are elves, and elves are meant to be free! You're constantly preaching about the despicable nature of humans, yet you're nothing but a human in elven skin!"

The Krol Family members hung their heads upon hearing that, while some of the enslaved elves began to sob. The sobs seemed to be contagious, and soon, all of the elven servants had broken down into tears.

"The elven race is becoming more powerful, so this is clearly a correct strategy. The elven race has never been this unified in its history, and in the future, we will continue to become more powerful. We will be able to defeat all enemies and guard our Wind Forest." Helena wasn't backing down in the slightest as she said, "This is a revolution that will take the elven race to greater heights. Collateral damage and sacrifices will be inevitable during this process, but it's all worth it for the greater good of the entire elven race."

"Revolution? What a load of bullsh*t!" Irina couldn't help but burst into laughter at the absurdity of what she was hearing. She pointed at the enslaved elves, and asked, "Have you asked them whether they were willing to be a part of your so-called revolution? Are they willing to become sacrifices for you? If scum like you can become more powerful just from enslaving others, then what's the point of hard work?"

"Thud!"

The elven servants all fell to their knees, and many more elves emerged from the castle before also kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please save your people from this never-ending torture! We believe in the God of Life and treat even flowers and plants as our equals, but we're being oppressed by our own brethren and even resistance is illegal. We would rather be banished from the Wind Forest than live in such humiliating conditions," the leader of the dancers spoke on behalf of all of the servants.

"Your Majesty, please banish us from the Wind Forest!"

All of the elves yelled amid broken sobs. All of them wore grief-stricken expressions, and many of them had visible wounds on their bodies.

"The God of Life will bless all of you. From this day forth, you are free once again to return to your homes. It is your choice whether you would like to stay in the Wind Forest or leave." The elven queen's eyes were filled with pity and sympathy. She waved a hand through the air, and spots of green light fell from the sky, instantly healing all of the elves' injuries.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Highness!"

All of the elves turned to the elven queen and Irina with excitement and gratitude on their faces.

Irina's expression also softened a little.

"Your Majesty," Helena still wanted to offer some objections.
