Chapter 70: Disclosing The Truth

Versailles sent Ramose off with her shimmering violet orbs. Raising her hand, she touched her forehead, the place he kissed. Cheeks flaming, she turned to leave.

"Hahahaha, this is definitely a sight worth seeing. Are you blushing now, Versailles? Since when did our hot-tempered serpentine begin blushing?" Queen Nakee walked over, surprised to catch the scene of her serious friend blushing.

This was a matter she had never anticipated of ever seeing before. Now that a day came where she did, how could she let go of the opportunity to tease her?

Excitedly thrilled, she swiftly slithered to her side and pulled on her flaming cheeks.

"Look at this! Our Versailles is getting shy!" Beckoning to the other serpentines, she got her encircled, taking turns with the others to tease.

"Oh? Old gray, have you ever seen our golden serpentine blush before?"

"Nope, at least not in any of our encounters."

"You're kidding, right? This is truly the first time our serpentine blushed?"

"This calls for a celebration!" The crowd roared in enthusiasm.

"Alright. That's enough! We have a lot to do and need to focus on the matter at hand." Someone's attitude and personality changed with the flip of an expression.

Sweeping her sharp gaze over the serpentines, Versailles coldly snorted and left.

"Wow! Wasn't that change too quick?" Queen Nakee was amazed as she watched her friend enter the portal.

"I know, right? She seemed so sweet and obedient when the werewolf king was around. But the moment he left? She became the fiery serpentine again." The brown elder could not help sighing in disappointment.

Their serpentine seemed more inclined to express herself with her mate than her clan. How could she not feel dejected?

"Yes. I don't have anything to live for anymore. That serpentine just sidelined her kin for her mate." The yellow elder was bawling her eyes out.

"Come on, everyone. Let's go. We don't want to wait until someone glares at us for dilly-dallying, right?" Queen Nakee clapped the white elder's shoulder, and the group of serpentines proceeded to the portal.

Inside the moss-covered cave, the serpentines all stood with serious expressions, listening to Versailles' explanation on the black shadow.

"I believe the dark smoke is a sort of energy. Like fire, water, air, wood, light, and earth, but only different. The dark smoke might be related to the darkness element. As we all know, the seven elements of the realm have both good and bad sides depending on the wielder of the magic." Versailles paused for a moment, hesitant on sharing the rest of her speculation.

"Versailles, go on. Remember, holding things back will only lead to a brief respite. Sooner or later, everything will come to light. At least by sharing it with us now, we would be prepared to face the future." The white serpentine, Wisdom, saw the hesitant expression on Versailles' face, and encouraged her.

Even if the matter shook the whole clan, they had to know. Only by knowing, would they be more prepared.

Understanding the serpentine's intentions, Versailles no longer hesitated.

"I believe the wielder of the dark magic is converting or invading and taking control over the minds of the races. Through them, they are either slaughtering, enslaving and converting more races, and sucking out their souls to create shadow armies." The moment her voice dropped, the serpentines erupted.

"Shadow armies? Impossible!"

"How could they create shadow armies? Do they want the six realms to wipe out the Nar realm?"

"They are out of their minds! They are creating shadow armies out of the other races?"

"What are we going to do about this?"

"This is too much! Versailles, are you certain that they are creating shadow armies?"

The Serpentines were in a panic. If they were only fearful and worried about the Snake clan's future and protection of the gem before, they were now terrified for their souls.

Once shadow armies came into the mix, not only them, the entire Nar realm would be in turmoil. They'll not only have to protect themselves from the wielder of the dark magic creating shadow armies, but they'll also have to defend against the wrath of the six realms. They will become stray beasts.

"What are we going to do? What are we going to do? What can we do?"

All of the serpentines felt powerless and hopeless. Shadow armies were difficult to defend against. They were dead creatures resurrected through forbidden ancient magic. They neither felt pain nor were afraid of death, their souls already lost.

The most important point? They corroded the thoughts of any beast that got in contact with them.

Hearts cold, mind blank, the serpentines listlessly stood frozen in their spots, their eyes filled with despair.

"No need to despair. It is not the end of the realm yet. I am precisely here because I found a solution." Versailles' calm and unperturbed voice rang out, pulling the elders out of their trance.

"Versailles, you really found a solution?" The serpent asking was the Snake Queen.

Her voice shook in disbelief, her gaze flickering uncertainly.

The moment she heard Versailles mention the words 'shadow armies', her heart chilled, her mind going blank in fear.

She knew what the terms 'shadow armies' entailed.

It entailed the end of the norm.

Once they descended, the Nar realm would no longer abide by the survival of the fittest. It would abide by the survival of the darkest. Only the vilest, cruelest, deadliest, and darkest of creatures would survive.

And they, in turn, would be wiped out by the six realms.

Yet, Versailles had a solution to prevent the end of the realm.

No matter how much she trusted her best friend, she could not imagine how she was planning on stopping the madness about to descend. For the very first time, her firm belief was shaken.

"Yes. More specifically, our ancestors." A beautiful smile of light and radiance spread across the golden serpentine's lips, confidence and grace oozing off her body, mesmerizing the stunned elders.

"Our ancestors?" The silent whisper spread from the white serpentine's mouth.

"Yes. Our ancestors. Elders, there is a magical barrier surrounding our Floating Flame Island. As it just so happens, the magical shield defends against corroding darkness magic. We just need to fortify the shield until no attribute related to the darkness element can pass through. Moreover, our Snake Queen's illness can be treated through the shield as well. However, it will be a painful process." Versailles turned to Queen Nakee with pity in her eyes.

She remembered the horrendous pain she went through to lessen the black mass surrounding her soul. Queen Nakee would have to go through the same pain in order to reduce the black mass corroding her mind. Only then, would she be able to help her.

"Wait. You are saying there is a magical shield around our Floating Flame Island? And that shield can treat Queen Nakee?" The gray elder, Uligous, asked in confirmation.

"Yes."

"And how do you know this?" She continued in suspicion.

Versailles eyes turned cold and sharp.

"Exactly the same way I know about the previous Snake Queen's demise." She derisively replied.

She did not mind others asking questions for clarification. However, she would not tolerate being openly suspected.

She owed no one. Her coming back to the Snake clan had nothing to do with the elders and since her mating with Ramose, she no longer answered to them. She came back for her friend and her revenge.

As for the others?

They could flame themselves for all she cared.

The grey elder realized she went too far after seeing the mocking sneer on the golden serpentine's expression. She was so focused on getting to the bottom of the supposed solution that, for a split second, she forgot herself.

Every elder in the Snake clan was aware of Versailles' status. She was the blessed child of lord Tarke that no serpentine dared to order or question. And now that she was the werewolf's mate, she was even more off limits.

Seeing her blunder, the other serpentines watched in quiet pity, their expressions indifferent. The elder overreaching herself had nothing to do with them.

Besides, who did she think she was, to question the fiery serpentine to her face?

"Do forgive me, Versailles. I did not mean to be rude. I was just trying to find out how you came about such information. In the end, it is a question of our Snake clan's queen's life." The elder self-righteously replied while apologizing.

"Your Snake clan's queen is also my best friend, right? Do you believe that I harbor ill intentions against my own best friend and queen? I will be very blunt with you today, elder. I couldn't care less whether the Snake clan prospered or went extinct. After all, I was a serpentine raised in the clan in my past life. This life? I owe the clan nothing. Whatever I do, I do it for my friend. So don't you ever question me like that again, understand?" The aura surrounding Versailles turned cold in an instant.

The radiant and bright serpentine vanished, her spot taken by an ice cold serpent. There were neither emotions nor attachments in the violet-gold eyes. Only ruthless coldness.

The grey elder shivered, regretting her lose of self-control. Earlier when she apologized, she only felt she had gone too far. But somewhere in a corner of her mind, she did not feel what she did was wrong.

After all, as an elder of the serpentine clan, even if she questioned a younger generation of the Snake clan, it was no big deal. The younger should accept the apology of the elder if they were wronged.

However, she forgot.

The serpentine before her was not a younger generation of the Snake clan. She was just a serpentine. A beast of the same race as her. She had no need to tolerate her unreasonable suspicions or attitude.

"I understand.." Shame-faced, she gritted through her clenched teeth as she stepped back.
