Chapter 191.2: Caring for the Abused God Consort (2)

The God Consort forced a smile. “Fortunately, there’s still the Star Incineration spell developed by the Star Attendant Court that can cause a Starburst phenomenon. That way, even if there’s no suitable person, I can still display my value… That’s pretty good too.”

Rayne looked at the God Consort with an indescribable sadness in his eyes. “Is that what you think, God Consort?”

“What else…?”

The God Consort smiled bitterly. “I’ve already made an oath with Sommerfeld. I’m his tool and his wife. I have to serve him for the rest of my life. This is my mission. The other Star Elves also spent their lives like this. Although it might be very painful, for the sake of my mission… I’ll persevere.”

Rayne hesitated and stopped, as though he wanted to say something.

However, in the end, he revealed a smile.

“Your determination and benevolence far surpass your husband. God Consort, you’re the only person I’ve met in the Heavenly Kingdom who deserves my admiration.”Fi𝒏ndd 𝒏ew upd𝒂t𝒆s on n/ov/e/l𝒃in(.)com

“You too, Your Highness Rayne.”

The man and woman of two different worlds looked at each other and saw helplessness and bitterness in each other’s eyes.

In this decaying country that had already been played to death behind the scenes by Far Silence…

The only two normal people felt deep helplessness.

Just like that, this meeting ended in regret.

…

That night.

In order to celebrate his triumphant return, the God King held another luxurious banquet.

As for the God Consort, she was also forced by the God King to participate.

Helpless, she dragged her weak body and arrived at the banquet venue.

Here, she saw Rayne again.

And… the Moonlight Queen?

Once again, the God Consort could not understand the God King’s train of thought. “Your Majesty, why did you invite the two of them at the same time?”

“Don’t worry, my beloved.”

The God King chuckled and said, “Of course I know that the Moonlight Queen has a conflict with the prince. However, Brother Rayne said that for my sake, he will get along harmoniously with the Moonlight Queen. He told me not to mind and just enjoy the banquet to my heart’s content.”

The God Consort said, “Your Majesty, His Highness Rayne was just being polite to you. You can’t take it seriously…”

However, the God King did not believe it at all. “How is that possible? Prince Rayne and I are as close as brothers. We’re sincere to each other!”

The God Consort: “…”

She felt mentally exhausted by the God King’s naivety.

Fortunately, the atmosphere of the banquet today was indeed rather harmonious. The Moonlight Queen and the Prince of Haines enjoyed the banquet respectively and did not interfere with each other nor did they have any intention of going at one another.

Perhaps to show that he was not a threat, Prince Haines did not even bring his demigod sister to the banquet today.

Clearly, the Moonlight Queen had her dignity as a demigod as well. Even though she hated Rayne, she was not shameless enough to bully a mortal with the strength of a demigod.

The conflict between the two of them was resolved just like that.

“Though seriously, you’re sure a good drinker, Rayne.”

The God King clicked his tongue in wonder and admiration as he watched Rayne drink cup after cup of fine wine.

The God King praised, “You’re young but you can hold your liquor well. You’re a hero!”

The God Consort sighed and left the God King’s side silently, arriving in front of the Moonlight Queen.

The God Consort was dispirited and asked with a bitter smile, “Alice, can you spare me a seat?”

Alice welcomed her warmly. “Sister, please sit!”

During the period of time when Leta and Haines’ two esteemed guests visited the Heavenly Kingdom, not only did the God Consort establish a friendship with Rayne, she even became close best friends with the Moonlight Queen.

Perhaps it was not appropriate to use that term to describe the leaders of the two countries. However, yes… the personal relationship between the God Consort and the Moonlight Queen was indeed very good.

Ever since the accident at the banquet last time, the two of them got to know each other and became connected as though they were old friends.

Furthermore, it was unlike Prince Rayne. If the God Consort wanted to meet him, she would have to try her luck in the wheat fields.

There was no need for her to be so particular when interacting with the Moonlight Queen of the same sex.

The two of them often visited each other and had already begun to address each other as sisters.

The God Consort sat beside the Moonlight Queen. Alice was still filled with hatred when she saw Rayne today.

However, compared to hatred towards the Prince of Haines…

There seemed to be more surprise in Alice’s eyes today.

The Moonlight Queen frowned. “How strange…”

The God Consort asked, “What’s wrong?”

Alice stared at Rayne Haines in confusion. “I remember that this guy doesn’t like to drink.”

“Huh?”

The God Consort was stunned.

His Highness Rayne was not… a lover of wine?

However, he was drinking very fiercely today.

Alice was puzzled as well. After some thought, she muttered to herself, “Could it be that this guy has suffered a blow of some sorts? Fufu, it’s most likely because this scoundrel was plotting against the Heavenly Kingdoms but after witnessing your Starburst Spear today, he must be feeling afraid.”

Alice smiled and asked, “Don’t you think so, sister?”

The God Consort smiled bitterly and did not reply.

Of course, she knew that Rayne’s depression was not because he was afraid of the Starburst.

With the Oath Angels and Histia, the Haines Empire was unafraid of any country in the mortal world. Even the God King with a Starburst weapon was nothing to them.

Perhaps, the real reason why Rayne was sad and even had to drown his sorrows in alcohol was because…

The God Consort’s heart skipped a beat.

She had an unbelievable but seemingly reasonable guess.

Could it be that…

His Highness was feeling sad for her?

She recalled the sadness on Rayne’s face when they met in the wheat field today as well as how he wanted to speak but hesitated.

The God Consort was stunned and had mixed feelings.

Because he did not bring his sister along, Rayne sat alone in a corner. He did not speak or eat and only drank in silence.

From time to time, he would cast a glance at the God Consort before quickly looking away.

When the tactless God King saw that, he sat beside Rayne warmly and brought over a few more bottles of good wine. As he drank, he kept pouring wine for Rayne.

Rayne, who could not handle the alcohol, did not refuse. With a bitter smile, he forced himself to drink cup after cup as though he was punishing himself.

When the God Consort saw this scene, she felt her heart break for the first time.

The God Consort could no longer remember how long the banquet lasted…

Her heart had already been captured by Rayne. She was distracted throughout the entire banquet and merely looked at him worriedly time and time again.

It was not until Rayne was almost drunk that he staggered to his feet. He chased away the servant who wanted to support him and left alone.

Rayne left.

Worried about Rayne, the God Consort also asked the Moonlight Queen to cover for her and found an excuse to leave quietly.
