"Okay, just leave it to grandpa, " Yofan whispered to Ainsley before casting his gaze at the guests. The poor guests didn't know anything, and were still patiently waiting for an explanation.

  Even the unruly five buds shut their mouth while secretly observing Ainsley from afar.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I shall explain what's going on according to what the family head said." Grandpa Yofan's face turned grave. He especially made a glare at the branch families, mainly the four bastards.

  "According to our family head's testimony, she fell into a deep coma not because of Elliana nor because of the sacred guardian's power." Grandpa Yofan made sure he made eye contact with almost all the guests at the hall.

  "Our family head said that she was creating a bond with the sacred guardian! That's why she was not aware of her surroundings for four days straight."

  Once Grandpa Yofan's words dropped, the guests' eyes widened. Their jaws dropped. They instantly broke into an uproar!

  "What? The family head was bonding with the sacred guardian? Impossible!"

  "Yes, yes! Doesn't that mean she's the one summoning the guardian from the magic prairie?"

  "Is that possible? She's still 3! Maybe she lied to protect her nanny."

  One of the guests glanced at Elliana when he said 'nanny'.

  Of course, his words were instantly met with others' refusal.

  "We can't deny the possibility. So far, only the family heads can summon the sacred guardians. I think it's more logical for the young miss to do it!"

  "But to bond with the sacred guardian? Do you think it's possible? She hasn't even awakened her power!"

  "Shhh. Don't you hear of the rumour? The young family head already awakened a charm!"

  "The heck? She's only 3!"

  "So what? The Aretha family's adopted daughter also awakened her ability when she's still 5 this year."

  "Yeah. She also contracted one of their sacred guardians. If she can do it, why not our family head?"

  "But…"

  "No 'but'. The family head already tells us the truth. What else do you want to hear?"

  "If this is true……doesn't it mean whoever reported that lady is framing her? Isn't this quite a controversial case?"

  "That's it. Who reported Lady Elliana, anyway? They should be ashamed."

  "Yeah, they must have malicious thoughts."

  The majority of the guests immediately sided with Elliana and Ainsley simply because the eyewitness of that side was just a child. A child tends to be honest. She should be more trustworthy than whoever framed Elliana!

  Once the crowds' favour tilted to the baby, the four branch families panicked. They were about to speak to Grandpa Yofan to wash their sin ahead of time when the old man beat them to it.

  "I should tell you that the one reporting Lady Elliana and accusing her guilty are those four esteemed guests." Grandpa Yofan pointed at Uncle Roger and the other three without holding back at all.

  Lifting his head, the old man bellowed.

  "The four esteemed guests. What is your excuse for accusing the family head's guardian?"

  Ba-thump!

  Uncle Roger and the others felt as if their heart was about to fly away. The four of them instantly became the focus of the 100+ guests in the hall.

  Even the five buds curiously looked at the four fools.

  "This……esteemed elder……" Uncle Roger opened his mouth, trying to speak for himself, but he found his tongue gone stiff.

  Oh, damn. Cat got his tongue. Must be Cellino's revenge! Even when the cat didn't enter the hall just yet, his curse already worked, huh…


  Karma!

  Seeing Uncle Roger unable to speak, Ainsley immediately gloated.

  Hmph! Want to accuse Elliana? Dream on! I'm here now. Who can accuse her?

  Ainsley already thought that she's going to win this tug war. However, she underestimated the power of the old foxes' wits.

  Uncle Dober, one of the four accused, immediately stepped out and bowed toward Grandpa Yofan. His face was solemn as he opened his mouth.

  "Your excellency, I believe that Lady Elliana is still a sinner."

  His voice wasn't that loud, but the pure confidence in his voice startled every guest at the hall. Even Ainsley and Grandpa Yoyo were taken aback.

  What the fck– you still want to accuse Elli?! Hello??

  Ainsley rolled her eyes in disbelief. The baby was about to ignore the old uncle and persuaded Grandpa Yoyo instead when the old uncle's next words froze her silly.

  "Your excellency, I don't doubt the young miss's words, but what if she thought like that because that was what Lady Elliana told her?"

  "……"

  The crowds zipped their mouths. The 6 elders looked at Uncle Dober with confused gazes while Grandpa Yofan's face darkened. His voice immediately traveled throughout the hall.

  "What do you mean?" The old grandpa knitted his eyebrows. His body stiffened for a bit as he forced his lips to move.

  "You want to say that our family head's testimony isn't the truth because she's beguiled by Lady Elliana?"

  Just that one excuse actually shook everyone's beliefs. It was a simple reasoning, but it sounded so logical that they couldn't help but rethink the case.

  "Indeed, your excellency. The young miss is still young. She doesn't know anything about the sacred guardian. If lady Elliana told her that she will be in a coma because she bonded with the sacred guardian……"

  Uncle Dober took out a handkerchief and dramatically wiped his non-existent tears.

  "I believe that our pure young miss will trust Lady Elliana's words and think that her comatose has something to do with the sacred guardian."

  The old fox put on a sorrowful face before shaking his head.

  "A pity, I think that's not the case! Lady Elliana just lied to the young miss and the young miss believed her lie!"

  Fck you, Dober!
