Chapter 694 Matriarchal Society

Alex looked at Kary, stunned, his jaw hanging loose.

"Excuse me, what? Nobility? How have I never heard of this?"

Kary giggled.

"If you had taken time to learn of all your men, you would know many of them don't come from the Elven kingdoms. Every non-elf comes from human settlements or other cities across the continent. n))O--v.-E)-l)/b.)1(/n

"Our no-discrimination policy brought people from all over the two continents. Although we have almost no Demonoids or Undead, the rest of the races are aplenty all over the city. This also means a lot of our soldiers come from a bit of everywhere. This includes Rodney."

Alexander took a moment to process what she was saying.

'This is why he wanted to discuss things. He probably knows how the matriarchs will react. Was making him wait a bad idea?' Alex wondered, gulping.

"I might have told Rodney to wait until we log back in to take any action concerning this matter..."

Kary looked at him before sighing loudly.

"Of course you did... Sometimes, you make me think you are the smartest one in the room. Other times, I feel like I'm taking care of a teen."

She said those words with no malice, but the dig still hurt Alex a bit. It wasn't like he was doing this on purpose.

"Hey. I'm not to blame if no one tells me anything. I react according to what?know."

Kary shook her head with a smile.

"I know. It's too late to change what you said. We are already out here. Let's take care of our day, and we can log back in right after dinner. This way, we won't make him wait too much."

Alex nodded his head, agreeing to this course of action, before shoving the remaining pancake on his plate into his mouth.

He would rather shovel food in his mouth than think about the events to come.

And now that her action stopped so abruptly, she was hit with a wave of drowsiness. She couldn't care less if the diplomacy branch wanted to view the recordings.

Selena didn't react to her rudeness, and instead waved her hand at the orb, making the images on it wind back until before the altercation. On them, they saw the guards rushing to the room, and they heard the man in front of them tell them of the broken laws, and to surrender.

But they did not train Mana Knights to surrender their quarries without fighting. They could only expect a combat to take place.

However, there was no such thing. The next moment, a petite girl with milky white hair appeared from the man's back, and shot two thin beams through their heads, killing them instantly.

"Whomever that girl is, she must be powerful. Those were not our most powerful Mana Knights, but it would still take considerable power to kill them in a single attack. Please switch to the diplomat, and wind back until before the altercation," Selena commanded the orb.

As if it had a mind of its own, the orb suddenly changed from two perspectives to one and started rewinding.

After a moment, they saw images that made all of them gasp in horror and anger.

On it, they saw Gerald attack a manservant, which wasn't much of a problem, given the difference in ranks. But then, they saw the young girl, who jumped in to help the boy.

When they saw the hands of Gerald latching onto her wrists and dragging her like a slave about to be punished, they all felt anger rise in them.

The moment he slapped her, Selena wanted to stop the video. But an older woman raised her hand.

"Let it play. I want to know the full events," she said, with a husky voice.

Selena respectfully nodded her head and resumed the playback.

When the scene went from the slap to outright rape, almost all the matriarchs were gritting their teeth in anger.

"Alright, we've seen enough!" one of them shouted, forcefully stopping the recording.

"I don't know how you train your diplomats, Selena, but this is unacceptable. Assaulting a girl? Forcing himself into her? This man deserves to get castrated and burned at the stake!"

The elder woman raised her hand again, bringing quiet to the table.

"Let us not devolve into savagery amongst ourselves. I am sure Lady Lorhen has an explanation for this. Let us discuss, as we always do."

"Yes, Head Matriarch!" the eleven other women said, bowing their heads.
