Chapter 171 Ideological Struggle is Inevitable
Two days had passed since Princess Ling's visit, and a formal apology meeting had begun.
The gentle and beautiful Princess Ling sat in front of a high platform, surrounded by countless large mirrors, ensuring that every aspect of her posture could be displayed to the fullest.
Suddenly, Hua Ling stood up and bowed deeply.
"Since I was born, I have existed as the mother of life. Helping every weak life is my duty, my ideal, and my belief."
"Those fairies once told me that the dark night fairies were cruel and brutal, causing many of their compatriots to die and killing people everywhere."
"Because of rumors, I believed these one-sided words."
"I also developed a bias because of the rumors."
"Even though I was in a high position and was not aware of the liquidation plan, the massacre was carried out under my name... I am responsible for each and every unforgivable crime."
"I am unworthy of the title of Mother of Life. I am really, really sorry for causing your family to be torn apart and you to wander around..."
Hua Ling did not say anything empty and pretentious. Instead, she bent her waist even more. Her tightly closed eyes and slightly trembling limbs showed her nervousness and apology.
The mirrors around broadcast all of this live without reservation, and all the netizens in the empire felt mixed emotions at the same time.
[She apologized to us... I never thought that this day would actually come. ]
[I have forgiven her, the painful memories have passed, and now we have a brand new life. ]
[Princess Ling was just the trigger. I am not qualified to forgive the ancestors who died in the cleanup plan, but I hope everyone can live a happy life.]
The Internet was in an uproar, but 99% of people chose to forgive. Yue Heng was right. The people of the empire who had received moral education were indeed kind, and they knew who the real murderer was.
It's those privileged fairies! It's their plan to gain more benefits.
Putting the cart before the horse is not advisable, and bullying the weak is even more shameless, so the fairies of the dark night will not blindly put all the responsibility on the Mother of Life and beat the fallen dog in the name of justice.
This apology is enough.
…………
"So you really don't want to go with the Prime Minister to take a look at the rebels?" Yue Heng, who was wearing a loose white robe and walking on the flower avenue in the outer city, looked at Hua Ling beside him and asked curiously.
After the apology meeting, Mandorla immediately took the village chief and a group of diplomatic fairies to the temporary base of the rebels.
Huo Liaoye and Jin Litong also took the steam furnace where Duan Lingyi was sleeping and headed towards the Fire Rainbow Desert, but they were still arguing on the way and wanted to change direction several times to head towards Blade's Edge Canyon.
What is surprising is that the Mother of Life, who should have left like them, stayed.
“No,” Hua Ling shook his head. “Since the Empire has nothing to do with what the Alliance says, I have reason to believe that the rebels were also forced.”
"Besides, I want to see more of the empire." Hua Ling turned his head and carefully scanned every fairy walking on the street and every merchant stopping to sell.
They are so full of vitality, so in love with life, and full of what life should be like. Hua Ling likes this atmosphere.
"Oh, I see." Yue Heng suddenly stopped, and Min Yun beside him also stopped moving forward. He showed a kind smile.
"Then let us welcome the Mother of Life. The Empire always welcomes all friendly fairies."
"But... the Fairyland War is about to begin. If you stay now, you will be choosing to help the Empire."
Seeing the mockery in Yue Heng's eyes, Hua Ling calmed down and asked firmly, "Although I'm sorry, I still want to ask, is this war necessary?"
"It must be done."
"Even if this means the death of many lives?"
"Even if it means the loss of many lives."
Hua Ling seemed to suddenly lose her strength and fell to the side weakly, but Min Yun was faster and caught her.
"Why?" Hua Ling supported himself with the help of Min Yun's shoulders and asked persistently.
She refused to believe that a fairy like Yue Heng would start a war for the selfish desire to conquer the fairyland.
Hearing Hua Ling's question, Yue Heng laughed, "It seems that you are a little late and didn't hear the debate between the Prime Minister and the Lingxi Pavilion emcee."
"The existence of the empire has never been for the purpose of fighting for power, but for protection. As long as there is a fairy who is still being cruelly exploited, the empire will fight to protect the rights of the fairy."
"And the privileged fairies of the alliance are the vested interests of exploitation, so the fairy war is also an ideological battle. It is related to the core concept of the empire: liberation and development. It is inevitable."
"And I think Princess Ling has never been to the Alliance Station. If she had been there, you wouldn't have asked this question. After all, the oppression of other fairies by privileged fairies is like that of evil spirits~"
The last sentence was not said by Yue Heng, but by Min Yun, who was silently supporting her. However, this sentence sounded even more ironic coming from her mouth.
Hua Ling has learned in the past few days that the Grand Justice of the Empire is the most rigorous fairy and rarely uses metaphors. But even she can only use the word "evil ghost" to describe those privileged fairies...
Hua Ling hardly dared to imagine what kind of life the former dark night fairies and the current ordinary fairies were living in the corners unknown to her.
"This is really too much!" Even with Hua Ling's good temper, he couldn't help but curse.
In her philosophy, all lives are equal and one should never harm another life just for the sake of one life living better.
Yue Heng ignored Hua Ling's anger and led the two of them forward two steps, saying as he walked: "If you want to overthrow the rule of a class, you have to pay the price of blood."
"It may seem terrible to you, but for the oppressed fairies, instead of being exploited and dying numbly, why not choose to earn a bright future for those who come after them?"
He stopped and pointed directly at a little elf who was selling flowers on the roadside.
"Did you see that little elf? She is a fairy who defected from the Alliance. Her name is Crystal, and she is a plant mountain lotus leaf elf."
"On rainy days, the petals of the water lily are easily saturated with rainwater because of their extremely thin cell walls. Coupled with the refraction of light, they appear transparent."
"Because she couldn't stand the heavy taxes imposed by the Alliance, she relied on this ability to escape to the Empire on a rainy day."
"But do you know? Such a weak fairy with evasive nature suddenly chose to join the army one day."
Hua Ling was surprised and asked with complicated eyes: "Did she say why?"
Yue Heng nodded, "She said that she knew she might die, but she had to find a way out for her daughter."
"Daughter? Can fairies give birth to children?"
