Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects! Chapter 105.1: The Truth With Edaline (1)

Chapter 105.1: The Truth With Edaline (1)

The crystal lift descended rapidly.

In the lift that could theoretically only accommodate a single person, Rayne hugged Edaline and stuck close to this sister of his.

“My head kinda hurts…”

Edaline rubbed her forehead and said softly.

For some reason, her head felt increasingly uncomfortable as the lift descended into the depths of the crystal world.

For some reason, this unfamiliar crystal world gave Edaline a sense of déjà vu.

It was as though she had been here before.

A strong but inexplicable feeling surged in Edaline’s body, as though something hidden in the depths of her body was about to awaken.

In reality, the pain was not something that Edaline could not endure.

However, what truly tortured her was that as the mysterious emotions in her soul intensified, her body seemed to be breaking free from her control.

“I can’t take it anymore…”

Edaline grumbled softly, “Why did you bring me to this godforsaken place for no reason without even explaining why to me? Rayne… what are you trying to do?”

Rayne looked at his sister in his embrace tenderly. He felt that it was time to reveal the entire truth.

Rayne said, “Edaline, I have a question for you.”

Edaline replied, “Ask whatever you want…”

Rayne: “Do you think there’s really a possibility that there can be a demigod with a bloodline purity of more than 90% in this world?”

Edaline: “…”

Edaline fell silent and her expression turned complicated.

She had always known that something like that was extremely ridiculous.

It was not that she and Histia had not thought of this question.

However…

There had never been an answer to the question.

She was the strongest demigod and was the most eye-catching existence in the mortal world. Everyone attributed the birth of her and Histia to the greatness of Goddess Order.

Apart from that, there was no other special meaning.

As the eldest and second daughters who had received the greatest favors from Goddess Order, Edaline and Histia naturally had no right to raise any doubts.

Now that Rayne brought up the past, it made Edaline feel displeased as though her scars had been peeled.

She asked coldly, “Why? You know this as well?”

Rayne said indifferently, “You are a vessel for the descent of Order.”

Edaline: “!!!”

Still hugging Edaline, Rayne said in a deep voice, “Before long, you and Histia will become the bodies she will use when she descends.”

The reason why Order went silent was also to prepare for the descent.

“Edaline… I’m going to lose you before long.”

Edaline: “…”

When Edaline heard that, she merely said tiredly, “I see…”

Rayne smiled bitterly. “You don’t look surprised at all?”

Edaline said, “Histia once told me about this guess. Do you know, that lass’s bloodline purity has continued to rise even after she was born? She said that every time her bloodline purity increases, she will feel less and less like herself.”

“She doesn’t want to become like that, but I don’t think it matters…”

Edaline shrugged. “After all, isn’t that the day everyone is looking forward to? At that time, everyone would only cheer for the descent of the goddess. As for what would happen to us… Ha, no one would care anyway.”

Edaline added softly, “You won’t care either.”

“I care.”

Rayne’s voice was resolute. “I’ve never believed in Order and I won’t allow her to take my younger sister away. Little Eda… that’s the reason why I brought you here.”

“Eh… ?”

Edaline sounded surprised. Instantly, she seemed to have thought of something. Diisscover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n n0𝒗e(l)bi𝒏(.)com

This was the homeland of Order, a secret ground related to her.

In other words… there was a high chance that there was a way to prevent Order from turning Edaline into a vessel in the future here!

So…

Rayne was doing this for her the entire time?!

Edaline stared at Rayne in disbelief with a trembling gaze. “So, Rayne… that’s the reason why you brought me here. Are you actually… trying to help me?”

Rayne smiled. “You’ll be fine.”

“Idiot…!”

Emotions surged in Edaline’s heart and she suddenly wanted to cry.

She pressed herself tightly against Rayne’s chest and whispered, “You should have told me earlier. I thought that you were just asking me to work for free… I even scolded you so many times in my heart.”

Rayne was exasperated. “You’re the one with a personality flaw for scolding me, isn’t it? How is that my fault?”

Edaline said, “Fine… it’s my fault. I apologize to you.”

Rayne sighed. “After all, this matter is too difficult for you to accept. Therefore, instead of telling you the truth, I thought it was better for me to find an excuse to trick you over first.”

Rayne understood Edaline’s character. She was a strong-willed child. If she knew that Rayne was helping her, she would not accept his goodwill so easily.

However, if she was the one helping him, no matter how much Edaline resisted, she would not abandon her brother who was asking her for help.

That was the reason why Rayne only divulged the matter in its entirety now that he had reached the final step with Edaline and they were about to begin the divinity division operation.

After knowing the truth, Edaline was silent for a long time. At that moment, she no longer had her usual arrogance and merely leaned into Rayne’s embrace obediently.

“Don’t lie to me anymore in the future.”

Edaline said gently, “No matter what happens to you, just tell me… I’ll help you.”

“Yes.”

Rayne added softly in his mind.

If there’s a future, that is.

At that moment, the lift had reached the end.

The lift doors opened and a cramped crystal cabin appeared before Rayne.

The cabin was lined with a large number of electron pipelines and there were machine chambers made of crystals on both sides.

In the middle of the machine chambers and the pipelines, there was a sealed cabin that could accommodate a single person.
