I am a wicked dragon, and you want me to fall into goodness?

Chapter 99 Hmm? How could I not know how wronged she was? (3k)

Pu Se was overjoyed; this was simply a golden opportunity delivered to his doorstep!

Gabriella sneaked into the wheat field, whatever her initial intentions or other purposes.

As long as he insists that she did it to destroy the Levi people's wheat fields, that accusation will be enough to nail her to the spot.

Then he could openly arrest and try her, and finally, justifiably imprison her deep within his palace.

As for whether she was wronged or not?

A cruel smile curled at the corners of Pu Se's lips, his inner voice filled with undisguised arrogance and self-righteousness.

I was the one who wronged her; how could I not know she was innocent?

But so what?

Within Starfall City, once I've arrested you, that's it. I'm the one who arrested you, and I'm the one sitting in the judge's seat. How can you possibly escape?

Gabriella seemed completely oblivious to the sinister scheme in Pousser's heart, nor did she catch the fleeting cruel smile on his lips.

She suppressed the trembling in her heart, striving to maintain the composure and calmness of the Long-Eared King. Her emerald green eyes met Puse's gaze honestly, and her voice was clear and steady.

"Your Highness, I have come here today not with any ill intentions, but simply to pay my respects to the fairies in this wheat field."

She gently raised the emerald green leaf in her hand, and the life energy flowing on the leaf became even more gentle, blending into the atmosphere of the surrounding wheat field.

"Elves and fairies have always been on good terms; I was simply asking them for guidance on the magic of life."

"I have always maintained a distance from the fairies, never interfered with the growth of the wheat field without permission, let alone committed any acts of destruction."

She bowed slightly and performed a long-eared tribe greeting to Puse, her posture neither humble nor arrogant.

"If my visit has disturbed Your Highness or violated the rules of the Starshine Kingdom, I am willing to leave now and apologize to Your Highness."

At this moment, Pu Se listened to her reasonable explanation, but his dark blue vertical pupils remained unwavering.

The plan in my heart was not dispelled, but instead became even more firm.

She came secretly, and even brought only a few professionals who secretly followed her.

Puse suppressed a smile and let out a low growl, gathering the Red Fang Knights who were already waiting nearby.

In just a few breaths, the rhythmic rustling of armor and the sound of horses' hooves approached from afar.

A group of knights clad in crimson armor and riding warhorses with manes as red as fire were galloping toward them.

The Red Fang Knights swiftly reined in their horses, knelt on one knee before Puse, their movements perfectly synchronized, their voices loud and respectful: "Your Highness!"

Poseidon's dragon claw still pointed at the emerald green leaf in Gabriella's hand: "The Long-Eared King Gabriella Forest Hunter has trespassed into the wheat field."

"I have reason to suspect that she intends to destroy the Levi people's food supply!"

His words were piercing, twisting Gabriella's actions into the image of heinous crimes.

"Red Fang Knight, heed my command!"

"Imprison her immediately! If she resists, kill her without mercy!"

Gabriella's composure and calmness shattered instantly, her emerald green eyes widening in disbelief and astonishment.

She instinctively took a half step back, as if she couldn't believe the command she had just heard.

She had clearly stated her purpose, and she had never had any ill intentions, yet this blue dragon still wanted to imprison her.

Cedric opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed his words at the prompting of Puse's eyes.

He never expected that Pousser would issue such an order, leaving no room for maneuver and completely ignoring Gabriella's explanation.

The fairies surrounding Puse instantly fell silent. Their chattering and noise ceased abruptly.

The tiny figures, in gold, yellow, and silver, froze in place, their crystal-clear eyes filled with bewilderment and astonishment.

They looked at Puse, then at Gabriella, who was being slowly surrounded by the Red Fang Knights, their little faces filled with confusion.

Why did Puser, who was just playing around with them, suddenly grab Gabriella Linxi Hunter, who was only there to ask for advice on magic?

Lia was the first to recover from her shock. She flapped her wings and used her small body to try to stand between Gabriella and the Red Fang Knight.

"No, that's not right."

"Miss Gabriella did absolutely nothing to harm the wheat field!"

"She came to us to learn about life magic! Not to be destroyed! Puse, you can't do anything to hurt her."

An impatience flashed in Puse's eyes; he was very dissatisfied with the fairies' obstruction, especially since Starfall City needed the fairies' help to accelerate the growth of the wheat.

He glanced at the fairies who were gradually gathering around, their faces full of confusion and protest, and his mind raced with several calculations.

These little guys may be small, but they are an indispensable part of this wheat field.

The grain harvest of Starfall City, and even the life and death of the Levi people, all depend on them using life magic to make the wheat ears grow.

If we were to become angry with the fairies now and force them to stop serving the Starshine Kingdom, the loss would be far more than just the imprisoned Long-Eared King.

Suppressing his agitation, Pu Se addressed the gathered fairies in a deep voice, "I have not convicted her, only suspected her!"

Pousser's dark blue vertical pupils swept across the golden wheat field before returning to Gabriella, his tone carrying a hint of ambiguous "tolerance."

"The lives of nearly 100,000 people in Starfall City rest on this wheat field. She has trespassed; if something happens—"

This dragon must be on guard!

He paused, then turned his gaze to the still bewildered fairies, his voice calm.

"Rest assured, I do not intend to imprison her without cause."

"As long as this wheat field remains unharmed and shows no signs of withering or abnormality in the next few days or even half a month, it proves that she truly meant no harm —"

Puse gave a plausible reason: "I, the dragon, will naturally dispel my doubts and let her go."

These words sound reasonable, giving the fairies a way out while firmly establishing the reason for their imprisonment on the noble cause of "protecting the wheat field."

I did this for the sake of nearly 100,000 people behind me. Do you really intend to disregard the survival of those 100,000 people behind you?

I'm just standing on my moral high ground and pointing fingers!

Lia's clear voice came to an abrupt halt, her bright eyes filled with hesitation.

She turned to look at Gabriella, who was surrounded by Red Fang Knights and whose emerald green eyes were filled with astonishment and resentment, and then looked back at the endless golden wheat field with its full ears of wheat.

The stubbornness on her little face was gradually replaced by hesitation.

Pu Se's words weighed heavily on her heart like a stone.

The lives of nearly 100,000 people in Starfall City depend on this wheat field.

If something were to happen to Maitian because of her obstruction—wouldn't she become a sinner against all humanity?

Lia's little head drooped slightly, her inner voice struggling.

Although this sacrificed several days of Gabriella's freedom, as long as the wheat field remained safe and sound, and as long as nothing unusual occurred in the next two weeks—

Pusser will let her go, and no one will hurt her, right?

Once the thought arose, it quickly entwined her thoughts like vines.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but found that she couldn't find any reason to refute it.

The fairies surrounding her also lowered their heads, their clear eyes filled with the same hesitation and helplessness as hers.

Only Daisy knew the twisted logic that Pousser was spouting, but she didn't refute it.

Because anything that gets close to her sister is an eyesore to Daisy.

Pu Se sneered inwardly. A bunch of naive little devils, they think they can fight me?

Puse's gaze returned to Gabriella, and he lightly waved his dragon claw: "Red Fang Knights, carry out my orders immediately!"

"Bring Gabriella Linxi Hunter of the Long-Eared Tribe back to Starfall City and imprison her temporarily! Keep her under strict guard and forbid anyone from visiting her!"

The Red Fang Knights roared in agreement, dismounted, and instantly drew their longswords, the cold light reflecting on Gabriella's astonished face.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, quickly forming an impenetrable encirclement and closing in on Gabriella step by step.

Puse's tone carried a false sense of "preferential treatment," as if he were truly considering the bigger picture rather than deliberately imprisoning someone: "Rest assured, this dragon will not mistreat you, the king of the long-eared tribe."

"I will treat you like royalty, arranging for you to have the best prison cell in Starfall City."

As he spoke, he slowly turned to look at Cedric beside him: "Cedric, where does she live now?"

Cedric's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed in response, responding obediently.

"Your Highness, Princess Gabriella was previously staying at the Long-Eared Clan's embassy in the eastern part of Starfall City."

Upon hearing this, Puser said, "Very well, then there's no need to go through the trouble of imprisoning him in some strange place. Just lock him up in the Long-Eared Tribe embassy!"

His gaze swept over Gabriella, who was cornered by the Red Fang Knight, and then turned to the fairies who were still hanging their heads in hesitation, as if to declare his "mercy" to everyone.

"Everything I've done is for the lives of nearly 100,000 people in Starfall City!"

"I merely restricted her freedom slightly, confining her to her residence. I neither harmed her in the slightest, nor dishonored her status as the Queen of the Long-Eared Clan, nor will I punish her!"

"Is this really that excessive?"

"No, I am far too merciful."

As for what happens after you're locked up, isn't everything still up to you?

The so-called "temporary imprisonment" and the so-called "verification after half a month" were just excuses he made up on the spot.

As long as Gabriella is imprisoned in that seemingly safe embassy, ​​as long as the Red Fang Knight surrounds it completely, as long as he orders that no one is allowed to visit.

That embassy would then become a prison.

At that time, he can see her whenever he wants, and no one will know what he wants to say or do to her.

Starfall City is his territory, Red Fang Knights are his henchmen, and even the so-called "judgment" is nothing more than a plaything in his palm.

Half a month? Half a year? Or a lifetime?

It all depends on his own will.

As for those innocent fairies?

Ha, these demons have never even been inside Starfall City. As long as the nearby Red Fang Knights don't spread rumors about the imprisonment.

Will these fairies keep watching?
