Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects! Chapter 114.2: I Want It… Please Reward Me… (2)

Chapter 114.2: I Want It… Please Reward Me… (2)

Under the guidance of the Great Teacher, the seal on the study door was removed and opened automatically.

An elven noble led a group of fully armed law enforcement riders into the study.

The arrogant elves loved to solve problems with elegance and a dignified manner. The noble’s face was filled with smiles and he seemed extremely enthusiastic.

“Welcome to Leta, Your Highness Rayne Haines.”

The elven noble even bowed to Rayne.

Rayne revealed a smile as well. “Hello, Mr. Bridges Barton.”

“…?”

The elven noble’s body stiffened for a moment. He did not know why Rayne could say his name accurately.

He presumed that it must be because he was famous in Haines.

The elven noble did not think too much about it and continued with a pleasant expression, “Your Highness Rayne, since you’ve already visited Leta, on behalf of the Moonlight Court, I have a presumptuous request for you.”

Rayne smiled. “Please speak.”

Elven noble: “For the sake of the friendship between our two countries, we warmly invite you to stay in Leta for a few days and accept our hospitality.”

Rayne asked, “When can I leave then?”

The elven noble smiled. “No comment.”

Simply put, the Moonlight Court was prepared to imprison Rayne.

It could be seen that these elves truly hated the Haines people to the core.

In fact, they could not even be bothered to find an excuse or put it nicely for this unreasonable offense.

However, the actions of the Moonlight Court were not completely without reservations either.

With that said, the elven noble looked at the Great Teacher at the side.

The Great Teacher maintained her silence with a calm expression.

Although the elven noble was nervous, he pretended to be calm and said respectfully, “Revered Great Teacher, the palace wishes to borrow your guest for the time being. What do you think?”

The Great Teacher’s reply was still calm. “It’s up to you guys.” Expploore 𝒖ptod𝒂te stories at no/𝒗el/bin(.)c𝒐m

“Huff…”

The elven noble heaved a deep sigh of relief. Thankfully, the Great Teacher did not obstruct their actions. Otherwise… the situation would have been extremely difficult to resolve.

From the looks of it, even the Great Teacher of White Light had to tuck her tail between her legs in the face of the Moonlight Court’s reputation.

At that thought, the elven noble could not help but feel smug and conceited.

“Your Highness Rayne, please follow me.”

Just like that, the law enforcement squad of the Moonlight Court arrived out of nowhere and took away Rayne for no reason. They even announced that Rayne would stay in the capital of Leta for a long time.

The Great Teacher looked calm.

However, she was actually dumbfounded when she saw that.

She was silent and stumped. No matter what, she could not figure out why the Moonlight Court would be so cooperative with Rayne…

After a long silence, she could not help but lament…

There was really no doubt that the man was an expert.

…

A few days before Rayne arrived at the palace of Leta.

Not far away from the capital of Haines, in a small, cold town that was beyond the detection range of a demigod.

The grand prince, His Highness Edgeworth, met with an envoy of Leta in secret.

The attitude of the elven envoy was not good as he asked coldly, “Why are you looking for us, Edgeworth? ”

The grand prince did not mind the explicit hostility of the envoy of Leta at all. Today, he seemed calm and confident.

“I want to negotiate a deal with you guys.”

“Deal?”

The expression of the elven envoy was still filled with disdain. “Tell me about it.”

“I heard that the prince, Rayne Haines, seems to have gone to your side… Can you help me kill him?”

The elven envoy questioned coldly, “Kill him so that your Imperial Guards can have a reason to bombard our city once again?”

In the White Tower incident 10 years ago, in order to take revenge for Empress Cassius, the demigod Imperial Guards carried out a tragic revenge on all the curse casters and their countries.

Leta suffered immense losses in that catastrophe as well.

The grand prince had long known that the envoy would not agree to it. As such, he compromised and said.

“In that case, don’t kill him. Lock him up for a long time so that he is far away from Haines. That can work, right? You guys can use him as a hostage. That way, the Imperial Guards won’t dare to attack you guys recklessly either.”

“I only have a single question.”

The envoy of Leta asked impatiently, “Why should we help you?”

“Why? You’re asking me why? Hahahaha!”

The grand prince burst into laughter—he was amused by that stupid question.

Now, it was time to lay his cards on the table with the pointy ear.

“Let me tell you a secret. At the beginning of this month, my subordinate obtained an interesting item from a merchant. It’s said to be a relic of your elven god. I invited the most knowledgeable elven scholar to appraise it. Thereafter, I was shocked to discover that… the item I received was authentic! I managed to get my hands on such a treasure with such ease, can you believe it?! Hahahaha!”

“Take a look for yourself, elf.”

The grand prince burst into laughter and took out his bargaining chip.

It was a great treasure that no elf of Leta would reject.

As the chest containing the treasure opened slowly, the envoy finally saw clearly that the treasure that the prince took out to trade with the elves was a skull made of mithril.

The moment he saw the skull, the elven envoy was stunned.

Even though it was made from mithril, the skull was not a work of art—it was truly the head that once existed on the neck of some existence.

The mithril skull emitted a reverent and familiar aura that made the envoy of Leta revere it.

Moonlight Queen!

No, rather… it was the Mithril Moon, Goddess Compassion!

Instantly…

The elven envoy fell silent. There was only reverence and madness in his eyes.

At that moment, the envoy did not possess a shred of doubt—no matter what, he had to bring this treasure back to Leta!

The grand prince asked with a bright smile.

“Compassion’s skull, do you want it?”
