Chapter 401: Mother-in-law shall assist!
Unfortunately for Stella, she couldn’t take a taste of being a mother yet, for it was time to go with the plan. There was a whole island of children being mistreated, bullied, and whipped just so that they could awaken authority.
They couldn’t waste time.
Her fiance didn’t want to involve her mother and their family in this affair. It was not only because another household of the same status performed those cruel acts, but Alex also didn’t want to be a nuisance for both the Alliance and Flayott Household.
Players from the mortal continent had grown significantly in the cloud islands, so it would be a fatal strike to their growth if they were to lose access to the Winged Realm. That also would cause unnecessary chaos in the Alliance’s ranks, for people could turn fed-up even with the war looming over their heads.
Alex also didn’t want to trouble Stella’s grandparents. Veronica’s authority wasn’t confirmed yet, and he didn’t want to appear as a troublesome in-law. Had he relied on them now, he would’ve cost them lives, status, and more.
“But…” Alex thought, turning his eyes to Stella, “We can ask mother-in-law to visit that household. She would draw the attention of everyone, wouldn’t she?”
“That’s right,” Stella nodded, smiling faintly at her fiance. If he hadn’t proposed that idea a few minutes, she would’ve forcefully stopped him to tell it to him. Besides, Alex didn’t know to what extent her grandma could push herself to gain whatever she wanted and how bold she could become!
And now that they had an even better plan, the couple turned around.

A few minutes later, after Alex and Stella requested help from Danielle, the whole realm shook as a certain and a familiar voice boomed in the clouds.
“Come outside, you senseless creatures!” Danielle’s voice, akin to a clap of thunder, drummed in everyone’s ears. But a certain household heard her the best, for she paid a sudden visit to them.
Standing on a vast cloud island, alone in her usual clothes, Danielle gazed at the gates with a written kanji she would not understand.
Lefius Household.
Behind those gates, a mansion with a similar architecture to her household was perched proudly, decorated in Lefius’s way. They didn’t like flowers, but more stones and small ponds.
Everything trembled here, though. The lake in the middle and small ponds all over the cloud island rippled in abundance, continuously shaking. The stones cracked alongside walls, for Danielle was in volcano mode!
In that mansion, the head, his wives, and children had been wondering what had gotten into that woman and whether she was right in the head.
The head called everyone at hand to his side, wanting to know who could possibly rile up the only volcano in their Winged Realm. He would punish that person, for dealing with Danielle was the worst.
She had just come, and some of his houses were already in ruins! And since it would take some time for his descendants to fly over to the main island, the head called one of his wives— who was certainly clueless about Danielle’s visit — and made her talk with Danielle.
“Husband, oh my great husband, the man loved by clouds and gods from above,” the wife hadn’t heeded his words, however. Instead, she parted her lips and cajoled her husband, clearly not wanting to leave the gates and face Danielle.
Amidst the rumbling, falling pieces of ceiling, and simply chaos, the head gawked at one of his wives, who had been singing praises left and right.
Other wives and children were the same, not believing their eyes and ears.
“You don’t really want to take the brunt and face Danielle,” the head said, not blaming his wife, for he would’ve done the same, “Enough. You can stay in the house.”
He turned his eyes to his other wife. He skimmed them all, then stopped at a certain lady that was always bold. And as far as he could remember, this wife had an argument and a clash with Danielle a few hundred years ago.
She should be able to…
“Loved by gods and the most beautiful girls in our realm, the man who carries the clouds with his wind-” she parted her lips, singing praises….
The head gawked at her with widened eyes, and from the ceiling, a significant wooden piece broke and then fell onto his head.
“…”
No one really wanted to face Danielle.
“Should I call Auberon?”

Danielle knew the full story, except for Veronica wielding the authority— that was not confirmed yet, after all. Her eyes went on fire after learning that there were kids held captive by a noble household, or at least someone from it.
It was not just a matter of pride. No household should keep slaves or people against their will, for it went against the holiness within their blood!
And then, poor kids. They were already alone without parents, abandoned for many reasons. How could a noble house even think of enslaving and hurting them? Leave those kids alone, or help them!
“I, Danielle Flayott, have personally come to you, and you greet me with a maid who lacks style?!” her voice thundered even louder!
She hadn’t told names, purposely causing chaos within the mansion. No one sane would face Danielle without any arguments, for normal talk was impossible when she was in volcano mode.
She would just be louder, so it would be hard to talk with her. A proper argument would give her some time to think. But as no one had come yet, Danielle knew she had been doing a great job.
With her better senses, Madame had found out that some descendants had been flocking the island from other angles.
She did a phenomenal job!
Her lips curved into a wide smile before calling more and more people to her side.
At last, the head of Lefius Household popped out from the gates, his back not alone, for he had his wives behind him.
Auberon didn’t answer his call, so the man just brought everyone out.
And as Danielle saw everyone important here, her eyes gleamed in victory.
“Who has caused you trouble, Danielle? For you to come-“
“Where’s the greeting?”
The head’s eye twitched.
