Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects! Chapter 180.1: Your Highness-Alice Wants… (1)

Chapter 180.1: Your Highness, Alice Wants… (1)

Miraculously, after this guy obtained the support of Haines, he was not pretending to be subservient by saying those words.

He was truly puzzled.

I’m so invincible. Why do you guys still think that I need help?

Rayne smiled. “It’s just to have more bargaining chip and more chances of winning. If that doesn’t work, Your Majesty, just take it that we’re overly cautious.”

Rayne wanted to say something but hesitated. “Besides…”

The God King asked with a smile, “Besides?”

Rayne said, “Furthermore, Your Majesty the God King, the threat of the Evil Star is not only reflected on the battlefield. Its corruptive power can’t be underestimated either. For example… perhaps some of your subjects have already been corrupted or replaced by evil beings from the outer world?”

That was an enlightening statement.

Although it was a seemingly casual sentence, it stirred up a huge wave in some people’s hearts the moment it sounded at the banquet.

The moment that was said, the expressions of some people changed instantly. However, they returned to normal quickly as though nothing had happened.Fiind upd𝒂ted 𝒏ovels on n𝒐/v/elbin(.)co/m

When the God King heard that, he did not mind. He chuckled and waved his hand. “That’s not true. My subjects are loyal to me. Furthermore, with the supervision of the Star Attendant Court, how can there be a problem? Furthermore… Your Highness Rayne, your words are a little strange. Why does it seem like the Haines Empire is monitoring us? Hahahahaha!”

The God King made himself laugh out loud at his own joke.

The officials echoed and laughed. Even Rayne laughed.

However, there was someone who did not laugh.

The God Consort did not laugh.

Initially, the peerlessly beautiful God Consort was indifferent to the banquet. However, after hearing Rayne’s words, her gaze froze.

She looked at Rayne with a gaze that was more like… astonishment than surprise.

The God Consort said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, you should listen to this prince more.”

However, the God King laughed loudly and waved his hand. “Nope, nopes! Not going to. My beloved consort, let’s not talk about such troublesome things at the banquet.”

The God Consort: “…”

The God Consort sighed tiredly, somewhat exasperated.

The God King did not notice the God Consort’s displeasure, or rather, he did. However, he decided to ignore it.

He chuckled and said to Rayne, “No matter what! Your Highness Rayne, since you’re in my country, regardless of your support, you’re my guests. I’ll definitely do my best to entertain the two of you!”

Rayne thanked him with a smile.

However, right then…

An accident happened.

Apart from the Prince of Haines, another important guest residing in Dawn arrived on time.

The dolled-up young Empress attracted the attention of everyone the moment she appeared. She snatched away the focus of the banquet from the white-haired God Consort instantly.

Countless High Elves were stunned.

They were stunned by the shocking reality before them. The mortal world actually… truly had a beauty comparable to their God Consort!

It was the Moonlight Queen of Leta, Alice Fremont!

She was accompanied by two officials from Leta in charge of finance and foreign affairs.

She was different from Haines who came to provide military support for Dawn.

The Moonlight Queen of Leta was here to discuss a collaboration with the God King of Dawn.

The Heavenly Kingdoms and Leta maintained trade and cooperation for a long time.

The elves up in the skies and on earth were relatives thousands of years ago to begin with. When Leta was in a difficult situation, the High Elves were magnanimous and happy to help them as much as they could as well.

To put it bluntly, the High Elves understood the logic of their interdependent relationship.

If Leta was destroyed one day, the quasigods would be out of food. If they evolved wings and flew towards the Heavenly Kingdoms, what would the High Elves do at that time?

As the new Moonlight Queen ascended the throne, Alice felt that she had to meet these close relatives of Leta personally.

However…

Today, Alice’s expression was extremely ugly. She arrived at the scene with a dark look on her face and was even more displeased when she saw the man chatting happily with the God King.

“Your Majesty, is that the… Prince of Haines?!”

“The High Elves had actually invited him to the banquet?!”

The two officials were enraged.

What’s the meaning of this?

Are they humiliating us?!

On the other side, when Prince Rayne noticed the arrival of the Moonlight Queen, he frowned in displeasure as well.

Leta’s new Moonlight Queen, Alice Fremont.

The Prince of Haines, Rayne Haines.

The moment the ruler and successor of two ancient empires that had been hostile to each other for a thousand years met gazes…

The atmosphere became tense.

Sensing the impending danger, the High Elves shut their mouths and retreated carefully, not wanting to get into trouble.

The lively banquet gradually fell silent…

“Alice Fremont…?!”

When the God Consort saw that, she was shocked and questioned the God King in a low voice, “You actually invited the two of them at the same time for this banquet?! Don’t you know how hostile the Leta people are towards Haines?”

The God King shrugged, indicating that he had his difficulties as well. “I know… but beloved, such a grand banquet can’t be held a second time in a short period of time. Wouldn’t it be rude of me to invite one and not the other?”

“You…”

The God Consort was speechless.

“In that case, you’re going to be seeing even ruder things happen soon.”

The God King smiled and said confidently, “My beloved consort, you’re thinking too much. It’s not as though the two of them can quarrel in front of me? This is my banquet and I’m treating them with respect. They have to give me face, right?”

However, the next moment, Alice sneered and cast a hostile gaze at Rayne.

“Hmph, it’s the Prince of Haines, huh? Why are you here? Could it be that the Haines people want to lay their hands on the Heavenly Kingdoms after harming the civilizations on the ground?”

Rayne frowned. “Your Majesty Alice, please don’t misunderstand. Haines is a country that yearns for peace. It’s the same for most countries in the mortal world. Not every country is so bloody and cruel that they associate everything with invasion and killing.”

Alice’s anger intensified.

“Yearns for peace? Your Highness, you’re already 19 years old this year, right? How much calamities did those bloodthirsty hounds you guys raised bring to the entire mortal world ten years ago? Have you forgotten about that? Your Majesty the God King! Am I right?!”

The God King had an awkward expression. “I can’t say if I’m right or wrong about this matter. However, the two of you, please give me face at the banquet…”

Rayne gritted his teeth. “It was you despicable elves who couldn’t control your own people and cursed my mother! If not for the edict of the goddess… The Imperial Guards would have long razed Leta to the ground!”

Rayne sneered. “In my opinion, Leta was way more docile and obedient without a Moonlight Queen…”

“Oh?”

Killing intent surged in Alice’s eyes as the silver-white imprints on her body lit up.

The imprints on her chest and forehead shone continuously in extreme excitement.

The mithril sword that contained the Dragon Soul appeared in Alice’s hands.

“Your Highness, are you trying to imply that a scourge like myself should be gotten rid of?”

Rayne smiled. “Why not… Edaline.”

Edaline wiped her mouth and walked forward.

She whispered and asked her brother, “Hey, didn’t the two of you just get engaged in front of Cassius? Why are the two of you… fighting?”
