Although Alicia's words were full of humility and her attitude was very low, the pride in her bones was like a flame hidden under the ice. Even if she tried her best to restrain it, it was still impossible to ignore it.
The calmness and confidence in her every move seemed as if everything in the world was under her control. The occasional flash of light in her eyes revealed her unquestionable arrogance.
Cui Lina looked at her royal sister in shock, her mouth open so wide that it seemed as if an egg could fit in it.
She knew very well what a proud person Alicia was. In her memory, her sister was always high and mighty, accepting everyone's worship. She had never seen her bow her head to others, let alone kneel down to apologize to a human being. This completely subverted her cognition.
"How is this possible! What is going on?" Cui Lina's heart was filled with turmoil and she kept screaming in her heart.
Alicia Isabella, the legendary figure of the elves, has shown amazing talent since she was a child.
While other elf children were still learning to walk and learning basic magical perception, she was already able to skillfully cast elementary magic and manipulate the power of elements for her own use.
Her growth path was smooth sailing. No matter whether it was a profound and obscure magic tome or a complex and exquisite magic skill, she could easily comprehend and quickly master it, which amazed all the elf elders.
In terms of status, she is the eldest sister of the Isabella family and the Elf Queen's most trusted right-hand man.
Her bloodline is even more amazing. She was born with a rare phenomenon of atavism. The blood flowing in her body carries noble divinity, giving her the supreme status among the elves.
With this unique advantage, she became a priestess of the Moon Temple at a young age, controlling the power of the Moon Goddess and guarding the faith and heritage of the elves.
Normally, when Alicia travels, she is always surrounded by countless elves. Wherever she goes, everyone bows to her and shows her respect.
Her every word and action is like a golden rule, and no one dares to disobey.
That pride has been integrated into her soul and transformed into her temperament, leaving others to look up to her.
At this moment, an elf seemed to be suddenly awakened from chaos, and the words of Alicia just now echoed in his mind, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Did she call this human the high priest just now?"
This whisper was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.
"High priest?! How can a human be the high priest of us elves? And which temple is he the high priest of?"
The elves around were whispering and talking to each other, their faces full of astonishment and confusion.
They stared at Merlin with wide eyes, as if they wanted to see through him, trying to find the answer from him.
Cui Lina looked at Merlin in disbelief, pointed at him with trembling fingers, and said in a lost voice: "Royal sister, you are wrong, you are definitely wrong, how can he, a human, be the high priest of our elves."
Her voice was sharp and piercing, full of reluctance and questioning, breaking the brief silence.
"Shut up!" Alicia's face darkened, and her eyes instantly became icy cold, like a biting cold wind sweeping past, causing Cui Lina to shiver uncontrollably.
She slowly turned around, facing everyone, and introduced solemnly: "Merlin is the High Priest of the Moon Temple. He is one of the most respected people in our elves, second only to the Pope of the Moon Temple. Even Her Majesty the Queen must treat him with courtesy in temple affairs. He carries the power of the Moon God and has made many contributions to the welfare of the elves. There is no doubt about that."
Alicia's voice was firm and powerful, echoing throughout the banquet. Every word was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's hearts.
What! Merlin is actually the high priest of the Moon Temple? This identity instantly became like a bomb, exploding in the hearts of everyone present and causing an uproar.
You know, the Moon Temple has an extremely high status in the hearts of the elves. It is like a holy place among holy places and is the pillar of faith and spirit.
If Merlin was really the high priest of the Moon Temple, let alone beating up the elves, even if he turned the whole banquet upside down, the elves would not say anything to him. After all, this was a matter concerning the glory and dignity of the Moon God.
Cui Lina was completely dumbfounded. In her knowledge, weren't Her Highness Elsa and Her Majesty the Queen the only High Priestess of the Moon of the Elves? When did a human appear?
Her mind went blank and she felt dizzy, as if her worldview had been completely turned upside down.
But Cui Lina also knew that Princess Alysia would never lie. She was so proud, how could she make a mistake in such a big matter?
In other words, all of this was true. When she thought of Merlin's noble status and the unreasonable words she had just said, she felt cold sweat instantly soaking through her clothes and her back felt cold.
When the invited guests heard what Alicia said, they also looked at Merlin in astonishment and disbelief.
They originally thought that Merlin was just the president of the student union of the Arcane Academy and possessed a certain amount of power and status. They didn't expect that he had such an astonishing identity hidden behind him. He was actually the High Priest of the Moon of the Elves. This was really magical.
Even Merlin's friends stared at him in disbelief with their eyes wide open and mouths open. Arthur scratched his head, as if trying to confirm whether he had heard it wrong; Scarlett was so surprised that she almost dropped the food in her hand; Chris even covered her mouth, fearing that she would scream out.
After expressing her sincere apologies to Merlin, Alicia gracefully turned around, faced the guests present, bowed slightly, and expressed her apologies in a voice as sweet as a nightingale singing in a valley. Her earnest words and sincere attitude calmed the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts a little.
Then, she moved lightly, pulled Cui Lina up, and with an unquestionable majesty in her eyes, she asked Cui Lina to apologize to Merlin.
Cui Lina stood timidly in front of Merlin, her body trembling like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
She lowered her head, not daring to look Merlin in the eye, and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "I'm... I'm sorry..."
Seeing this, Alicia frowned slightly, and said with a hint of displeasure: "Louder!"
Cui Lina was so frightened that she trembled all over and apologized to Merlin loudly in fear: "I'm sorry!"
The voice echoed throughout the banquet, filled with fear and regret.
Merlin looked cold and pointed at Cui Lina, and said in a cold and hard voice: "You should not apologize to me, but to Lilia and Stacy!"
As he spoke, he stepped aside and signaled Cui Lina to look at the two people behind him.
