Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects! Chapter 125: You Can Be Even… Rougher With Me

Chapter 125: You Can Be Even… Rougher With Me

After the regent left in a huff, the elven Empress ignored Rayne’s rejection and enjoyed her breakfast.

Finally, she wiped her lips elegantly before leaving the study in satisfaction.

After that, two days passed.

The second round of the sacred test against the Upper Moon Queen began.

Naturally, Rayne, who was under house arrest, could not go and watch the battle.

Thankfully, there was someone else accompanying him.

This day, the Great Teacher paid another visit to Rayne.

“Previously, you asked me to pay attention to the teleportation within the capital. I’ve discovered something.”

Rayne asked, “Did someone sneak into the capital?”

The Great Teacher replied, “Yes, yesterday, the geomantic compass sensed a slight spatial fluctuation.”

Rayne was not surprised. “She’s indeed here…”

The Great Teacher asked, “She?”

Rayne: “A powerful character.”

The Great Teacher asked, “She’s also your chess piece?” F0lloww new 𝒄hapters at nov/(e)l/bin/(.)com

Stunned, Rayne shook his head. “Chess piece? No, she’s a dangerous fellow. Powerful and crazy, her actions are unpredictable. Once we’re embroiled in her game, my men might die at any moment.”

Recalling the terrifying acts of that woman in the past, Rayne felt a chill run down his spine.

The woman named Lynn was not a chess piece or friend of Rayne. In fact, she was not even his enemy.

She was more like a natural catastrophe.

Nobody could explain where or why it started… In any case, by the time one snapped out of their stupor, she would have already destroyed and massacred everything around them before leaving leisurely with an innocent smile.

But… a chess piece?

Yes… Perhaps he could try for it.

Rayne smiled. “The person I’m referring to is called Lynn. If possible, help me keep an eye out in the future.”

“I understand.”

The Great Teacher nodded and continued asking, “How’s the arrangement for Alice’s trials?”

“There’s no problem for now.”

Rayne replied, “Apart from Tragic Moon, I know the weaknesses of all the Moonlight Queens on the list. Although it’s inevitable that there will be a few troublesome existences, I believe that with her talent, she should be able to resolve them easily.”

Apart from the Tragic Moon Queen, of course.

In that case… how should they deal with the Tragic Moon Queen?

Initially, the Great Teacher wanted to ask that. However, when she saw the calmness in Rayne’s eyes, she felt that her worries were unnecessary.

The Great Teacher said, “Alice is Leta’s last hope. Please protect her.”

Rayne smiled. “Of course, I also need her to maintain the relationship between our two countries. Our interests are the same.”

The Great Teacher nodded gently. “With her around, the relationship between Leta and Haines should change significantly in the future, right?”

After explaining everything, Rayne no longer had anything important to say.

He looked at the Great Teacher’s face and suddenly realized something. “Speaking of which…”

The Great Teacher asked, “What’s wrong?”

Rayne looked at the Great Teacher. “Elktela, you look better than the last time I saw you.”

“Is that so…”

The Great Teacher was silent for a moment before saying tenderly, “It’s probably because of a certain someone. Beyond merely waiting for death, he infused newfound meaning into my life…

With that said, the Great Teacher looked at Rayne and smiled gently.

This time round, the Great Teacher expressed her feelings to Rayne very naturally.

Suddenly, Rayne realized.

Those once cold and dark eyes seemed to have gained a new radiance today.

This was something that Rayne had never seen before in his previous 999 reincarnation cycles.

Elktela’s mental state had undergone an unprecedented change. She had become optimistic and sincere. As she had said… beyond merely waiting for death, her life had taken on a new meaning.

And everything…

Was all because of Rayne.

It was the variable, Rayne, that made her smile for the only time in the thousand reincarnations.

Suddenly, Rayne froze for a moment as complicated emotions flashed through his mind. He felt emotional, surprised and even an urge to want to dote on her.

However…

The smile on the Great Teacher’s face did not last for more than a few seconds. After recalling some terrible things, she turned negative again.

She sighed and smiled bitterly.

“However, although that’s the case, I probably won’t be able to live for long. Forget it… I don’t have any regrets either.”

The Great Teacher said indifferently, “Everything that happened has made me understand that as long as you’re around, I don’t have to worry about anything concerning Alice anymore. If she can obtain the blessings of the Moonlight Queens on this list, she will definitely be able to protect Leta in the future.”

The Great Teacher revealed a reassuring but desolate smile. “In that case, I can leave Leta to her without worry.”

When Rayne heard that, he smiled as well.

“Isn’t it too early for you to be relieved? Aren’t you afraid that after you die, I’ll control Alice and turn Leta into a vassal of Haines?”

The Great Teacher was a little helpless. “Although I know that this is a joke, when you’re the one saying it… it’s quite realistic.”

“How do you know that this is a joke? Everything is possible, Elktela… Of course, that includes you.”

Rayne held the Great Teacher’s hand with a gentle gaze. “Don’t have those pessimistic thoughts anymore. You won’t die with me around.”

“Rayne…”

The Great Teacher was stunned.

This time round, when she looked into Rayne’s eyes, apart from his usual shocking charm, she seemed to see something… different in them.

Her heart skipped a beat.

It was as though a ball of flames was burning in her maiden’s heart…

The Great Teacher’s voice was gentle. “Do you want to do something else?”

“I’m happy to oblige. However, wasn’t the previous time… a little too intense?”

“N-No…”

There was an unprecedented charm in the Great Teacher’s voice.

“…You can be even rougher to me.”

…

At the sacred test venue.

Under a series of targeted tactics that were customized for her, the Upper Moon Queen was finally exhausted and her soul was depleted. She sighed helplessly and handed over her imprint, returning to the tomb.

The second round of the sacred test was over.

Another powerful late queen was defeated by Alice’s godly actions and the audience witnessed another great legend.

.

The Breaking Moon Queen let out a sorrowful cry of envy.

“Damn it… that woman left an imprint and left. Why didn’t I do the same as her back then?!”

After letting out a long sigh of despair, the Breaking Moon Queen surveyed her surroundings with her senses.

The Breaking Moon Queen asked, “By the way, is someone missing here?”

Alice replied, “You mean to say… the Great Teacher?”

The Breaking Moon Queen said coldly, “That’s right. That woman should be the strongest among this batch’s teachers, right? She sure is arrogant. To think that she would dare to excuse herself from the new queen’s sacred test, how dare she!”

However, Alice did not seem bothered and merely revealed a meaningful smile.

“That’s right… Sneakily doing something naughty behind the back of the Moonlight Queen, how dare she…”
