Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects! Chapter 123.3: The Moonlight Queen Under the Table (3)

Chapter 123.3: The Moonlight Queen Under the Table (3)

Ha!

When the regent heard that, his face convulsed violently. He was trying his best to hold back his laughter.

No, he could not hold it in any longer.

This person was way too funny.

He was truly hopeless!

“Is my joke funny, regent?”

Rayne asked, “However, don’t you think that your current situation is even more laughable than this?”

“More than 10 years ago, you killed a couple for the sake of power. Now, their child is about to take away your throne and become the supreme ruler of Leta. Yet, you still have the mood to mock me?”

Rayne’s cold words caused the regent to retract his smile.

Rayne said, “Even at a time like this, I really don’t understand why you’re still in the mood to bother about me. Regent Hamilton, haven’t you realized that you’re already on the brink of death?”

The regent could no longer smile.

Rayne’s words pierced the regent deeply, reminding him once more of the tragic situation he was in.

His expression turned grim and stern.

At the same time, it was filled with killing intent.

The regent: “Is that so? So now, a prisoner like you is giving me pointers?”

“You know it yourself, don’t you, Hamilton?”

Rayne continued to exert pressure on the regent. “Alice defeated the Breaking Moon Queen. With that achievement alone, she can be crowned the Moonlight Queen without any issues. You’ve already lost for sure. What do you want to use to go against Her Majesty Alice? What method do you want to use to escape her revenge?”

The regent grit his teeth and could not refute.

As for Rayne, he sneered and declared, “There’s no hope for you unless you can find another Moonlight Queen who’s even more outstanding than Alice… Even if I have to die, you will die before me.”

“Hmph, that’s all you wanted to say to me? You incorrigibly stupid fool!”

The regent could no longer refute Rayne. He could only leave a cold remark and leave.

“Await your judgment.”

With that said, the regent turned to leave and slammed the door.

Rayne: “…”

When he saw the regent leave the study, Rayne’s expression turned calm once more.

Alice’s voice sounded from beneath the Moonlight Queen’s desk.

“Your Highness… were you implying something to the regent by saying that?”

Rayne lowered his head and looked at Alice who was hidden beneath the table.

What Rayne said earlier on was not entirely a joke with the regent.

Indeed, Alice was hiding beneath the desk.

However…

Rayne was not so deranged as to do something lewd in front of an extremely strong old elven general.

Alice merely hid there obediently and held her breath so that the regent would not discover her.

Rayne raised his head and looked out of the window. “That’s right. The regent is still useful right now. Otherwise, it would be more convenient to just find a reason to kill him… judging from the regent’s reaction, he should have already understood my words.”

However, as he spoke, Rayne suddenly frowned.

He lowered his head and realized that Alice was looking at him eagerly.

Rayne asked, “What are you doing?”

Alice hid beneath the desk and listened to the entire conversation between Rayne and the regent.

At the end…

This degenerate elf whose mind was only filled with lust only remembered a single sentence.

The elven Empress was inspired and revealed a docile and charming smile.

“I’m naturally doing what I’m supposed to do ^_^”

“There’s nothing for you to do here. Hurry and get out. It’s time for you to leave.”

“Nopes~~~”

“Be serious. The regent is going to make a move on you next. You need to… Ahhhh…”

…

The regent left the Moonlight Queen’s study with a heavy heart.

The reason why he visited Rayne Haines was to test the latter and see if Rayne had a way of resolving his current situation.

The outcome was great—Rayne had no way of escaping.

However… after conversing with Rayne Haines, the regent’s defense was successfully broken as well.

The arrogance of this Haines noble made him nauseous.

As the Prince of Haines and descendant of the Crystal Goddess, he actually sat on the chair behind the desk openly throughout his conversation with the regent—those were the property of the Moonlight Queen.

Someone like that actually expected Moonlight Queen Alice to save him?

However, similar to how the regent was certain that Alice would not save Rayne…

The regent was also convinced that Alice would not let him off in the future.

Rayne Haines’s words made the regent extremely anxious and even fearful.

Rayne was not wrong—his era was already over.

On the day that Alice defeated the Breaking Moon Queen, the White Light Courtyard was filled with influential nobles pandering to her.

In the face of the actual true queen of the future…

They had already decided to abandon Hamilton.

Furthermore, Regent Hamilton had a clear understanding of his deep personal feud with Alice.

That was because he was the one who killed Alice’s parents.

She would take revenge on him…

The very same day she was crowned the Moonlight Queen!

However…

There was still a chance for Hamilton!

As Rayne had said, if he wanted to defeat Alice and the Great Teacher, he had to find a Moonlight Queen who was even stronger than her.

Otherwise, nobody would care about a mere regent like him. No matter what he did, he would be betrayed and abandoned by everyone sooner or later!

That was the trend.

The only thing he could do was to cause trouble for Alice or drag a few people down with him before he died.

However!

What if he could truly find another Moonlight Queen…?!

Not just a random promising descendant of the Moon Goddess, but a true mithril-element demigod who was qualified to be crowned!

Hamilton truly knew of a way to go about this!

Right now, the Great Teacher and Alice were not the only two demigods in Leta who were in possession of the divinity of mithril.

There was someone else.

Yes, one other person!

That was his son.

The demigod mage who had already fused his existence into the earth—Sebastian.
