Once Uncle Dober made his excuse, the crowds' minds wavered. They began to discuss the things once more.
"Indeed, what Dober said might be true…"
"Told you. How is it possible for a toddler to bond with the sacred guardian when many failed to do so?"
"But what if she bonds with the other two unproblematic guardians instead? That's possible. The hardest one is actually Code-C, not the other two..."
"Oh, you know a lot, huh?"
"Well, the 16'th family head is my acquaintance, so I know a thing or two."
"But….I heard Lady Elliana summons Code-C, the weakest sacred guardian, not the other two!"
"Huh? That super problematic beast? The one who always goes berserk at the bloodline triggering ceremony and kills a lot of our brethren?"
"Yeah, that's the one!"
"Aish, no wonder you said the young miss couldn't bond with that beast…"
"I know, right? Now that Dober said it might be Elliana's lie, it all matches up. The young miss just obediently retold what Elliana told her to say."
"Yes, I bet."
"Hufttt. And here I thought Lady Elliana was innocent. I suppose we have to be more careful next time."
"Hum. If not for Dober, I also won't think that far. Who would have thought that before harming the young miss, that wench even goes as far as lying to her…"
"Right. Maybe she's being cautious in case the young miss wakes up and then backstab her. That's why she lied to the young miss…"
"True! And her worry is spot on, right? The young miss wakes up and takes her side now."
"Poor young miss...to even defend someone who harms her…"
The guests looked at Ainsley with eyes full of pity, but in Ainsley's eyes, those were disdainful gazes. It sent a shiver down her spine, and her palms turned cold.
Seriously? How can all of you believe that bastard Dober so quickly? Don't you have a brain? He's just bluffing!
Ainsley was so enraged that her chest went up and down. Her cheeks bloated, and her eyes were devoid of any warmth.
Damn you, Dober!
Ainsley didn't want to back down. Worse come worse, she could just pretend to be the Godfather, right?
Thus, the baby hurriedly whispered to Grandpa Yofan so that the old man could relay her words to the crowds.
She had to open these morons' eyes!
Of course, not all the crowds were easily swayed. The 9 generals and the five buds were still suspicious of Uncle Dober. But they just kept silent to watch how the event unfolded.
Typical of upper echelons.
"Alright, silent, please." Grandpa Yofan raised his hand and gestured to the guests to shut their mouths. Within seconds, the crowds didn't dare to utter even a single speech.
They knew that the old man was going to retaliate what Dober just said.
There's going to be a good show!
Grandpa Yofan took a deep breath and patted Ainsley's back as he held her in his arms. After calming his mind, the old man slowly looked at Dober, who was standing not far from Elliana's place.
"Dober." Grandpa Yofan called out the middle-aged man with a deep voice. "How are you so sure that Lady Elliana lied to the family head?" The old man squinted.
"What if the young miss really bonded with the sacred guardian, and she's the one who summoned him as well?"
What? The young miss is the one summoning the sacred guardian, not Elliana? She also bonded with the guardian? For real?
Grandpa Yofan's words instantly triggered another uproar among the guests. Some of them instantly rebuked the supreme elder.
"Your excellency, it's impossible for the young miss to summon the sacred guardian. She's still too young!"
"Right, right. And to say that she also bonded with the most problematic guardian…"
That's impossible, isn't it?
Since no one could see the proof of the bond between the owner and the sacred guardian, everyone could make speculations that fit their logic.
How could a mere three years old toddler summon a sacred guardian and even bond with him? Those were a few crucial steps to tame a guardian beast!
Isn't that absurd? Even Blair Aretha didn't summon the guardian beast out of the prairie. She just tamed one that was about to go back to the prairie after failing to bond with the young masters.
To think that a three-year-old baby can summon a sacred guardian, even bonding with him…
Ridiculous!
"Your excellency, it's not that we don't believe the young miss' words, but we can't prove her words…" one of the branch families' heir spoke up. He was the oldest and was the next in line for the Chale Family.
"Indeed, your excellency. If the young miss truly bonded with the sacred guardian, surely she can trigger his bloodline as well and tame him, right?"
"Agree, agree."
The crowds demanded Grandpa Yofan to prove Ainsley's words, thinking that she couldn't do it. No one at the hall thought that the baby could possibly bond with the beast, anyway.
All except for the four accused.
At this point, they already realised that Elliana was truly not the one summoning Code-C out of the prairie. Else, Grandpa Yofan wouldn't openly say that Ainsley was the true hero.
It's only when he was confident that the baby could tame the beast would then he make a move!
Uncle Dober sweated non-stop. The middle-aged man gritted his teeth as he worked his brain.
No! We can't listen to the crowds and make that baby prove her words. Otherwise, we might as well go to hell. That fcking baby might truly tame the beast in front of them!
We...we have to stop her at all costs!
