Chapter 127 - "Put Her On Trial"

The clock was ticking. Time flowed like water. It was the third day ever since Ainsley's soul left her body and entered Code-C's sea of memories.

On the third day, the news couldn't be suppressed anymore.

Almost all people living in the main mansion already knew that their puppet family head fell into a coma because of the sacred guardian's mysterious ability.

Even those living at other mansions around the main mansion also discovered the issue. The saying that 'the new family head is in a coma!' becomes the most popular phrase to discuss among the family members.

The servants, the maids, the family forces, almost all of them talked about their new family head's demise.

No one knew who spread the news in the first place, but even Grandpa Yoyo couldn't stop it from happening.

In just three days, the branch families' family heads caught up to the news, and 4 out of 6 family heads rubbed their palms with glistening eyes.

"Isn't this the perfect time to drag that woman from the temporary family head seat?" Someone with a name close to a dog species name muttered to the other three middle-aged men in the plain room.

"Of course! We have been waiting for a scandal, and it's as if God granted our wish." A middle-aged man that resembled a lion nodded proudly.

"Khekkhe! What will you guys do now? Protest to the supreme elder and drag that bitch?" A creepy middle-aged man similar to a chameleon slammed the table excitedly.

He couldn't hide his hideous laughter at all, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.

Only Uncle Roger, the vice family head of the Riger family, could stay calm facing such evil laughter. The old cunning tiger cleared his throat before looking at the three accomplices.

"That's right. This is our chance. First, let's meet the supreme elder and question him. Of course, we have to make it so that Elliana seems guilty in our eyes."

Uncle Roger looked at Uncle Dober and nodded. "All four of us should start now before that baby wakes up. It's best if she doesn't wake up at all, but…" Uncle Roger paused. He quickly covered his mouth and coughed.

"Nevermind. I don't hold a grudge with Lady Ainsley, and I wish she could wake up soon, but for the sake of our plan...she better sleep longer." He added.

Of course, his words were soon countered by Uncle Dober.

"Tch. There's no use thinking of that baby. Even if she wakes up, what can she do? Say that Elliana doesn't do anything to her? She can't even prove her words!" The dog-like man harrumphed.

"If we just say that it's Elliana's evil plan by letting the sacred guardian stay near that baby, everyone will be convinced." Uncle Dober continued to explain his great evil plan.

"No one knows whether the sacred guardian can really harm others by making them fall into a coma, anyway."

"Hmm, true." The creepy old guy from the Chale family nodded with a sneer.

"No one can deny our words even if it's false. They can't prove it. As for whether Elliana is guilty or not...our reasonings are much more logical!"

The others quickly agreed with the creepy middle-aged man.

"Good. Then, we shall spread rumours about Elliana's misdeeds. I want it to be done today while we meet the supreme elder." Uncle Roger, the one who held the most authority in the room, knocked on the table.

"By tomorrow, we should already drag Elliana to do the 'family judgement'!"

"Family judgement? You want to fire Elliana or...kill her?" The lion-like guy from the Lionel family furrowed his eyebrows.

He only thought of stripping Elliana's status as the family head's guardian, but family judgement…

That's too harsh, isn't it?

A family judgement was a trial held when they wanted to judge a criminal who had betrayed the family. If Elliana was dragged into that trial, it was hard to save her. She might even get executed after one judged her to be guilty.

Surely there's no need to do that only to lose another good fighter? Elliana had quite a good ability, and the family couldn't afford to lose a talented member after suffering from the territorial war.

The other family heads also nodded at the lion guy's statement. This middle-aged man still had a soft heart despite wanting to overthrow Ainsley's reign.

Alas, Uncle Roger shook his head. A cold gleam flashed by his eyes.

"No can do. We have to pull out the weed from the root, at least! Without Elliana, no one can support that baby other than the powerless elders." Uncle Roger rubbed his chin while tugging the corner of his lips.

"Only then we can completely divide the family head seat among ourselves. We can reform the family and bring it out of our current wretched state." He continued.

"You all...don't want to see our family being governed by an incompetent baby and an idiot temporary family head, right?" Uncle Roger swept his gaze across the other three men.

His desire to bring the family out to the shiny world wasn't just his personal greed. It was truly his wish to bring the family to stand at the top. Of course, with him as the leader.

"So? Do you guys agree with me?" Uncle Roger raised an eyebrow, taunting the others. "Tomorrow morning, we have to put Elliana on the family judgement trial!"

His words echoed in the silent room.

"All for our Sloan Family!"

"...." The other three gulped in hesitation. They looked at each other, confirming the other parties' thoughts before reluctantly nodding.

"Alright, let's do that. Let's blame Elliana and...put her on trial."

With this, Elliana's fate…

Was sealed.
