Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 123.1: The Moonlight Queen Under the Table (1)

The silver tattoo on Alice's chest flashed wildly the entire night without stopping.

When the skies gradually lit up…

Rayne realized that he had burned the midnight oil again.

After defeating the Breaking Moon Queen, the next round of the sacred test would be held two days later. Since Rayne and Alice did not have much time, he had to let her learn how to defeat the next queen as soon as possible.

"The second late queen on the trial list for the sacred test is the Upper Moon Queen from 600 years ago. She's another strong foe. Although she's not as strong as the Breaking Moon Queen, her combat style is much calmer and more meticulous. As such, she's a lot more difficult to deal with than that lunatic."

The Breaking Moon Queen of the past would definitely be enraged by such slander.

However, at the moment, the silver-white tattoo on Alice's chest was silent and did not have much feedback. There were only a few thin wisps of light that flickered weakly in a dispirited protest.

Just like yesterday, Rayne began to tidy up Alice's clothes.

"Alice, you've stayed here for too long. Go back first."

"Your Highness, you're so mean. You're already in a rush to chase me away right at daybreak..."

However, Alice hugged Rayne's arm with a reluctant expression and refused to leave. She even pretended to be aggrieved and wheedled to him.

Rayne asked helplessly, "It's not that I want to chase you away. Let me ask you, did you tell the Great Teacher when you came here? What if your tracks get exposed without her help? This is the most critical moment for you right now. It's difficult for the old feud between Leta and Haines to be resolved with ease. If our relationship is exposed now, it will greatly affect your coronation as the Moonlight Queen."

Alice smiled. "If I can't be the Moonlight Queen, I'll go to Haines and be your consort, Your Highness."

Rayne shook his head. "I won't marry a useless woman as a consort."

"Boohoo, you're way too much!"

After flirting for a while, Alice hugged Rayne and kissed him gently. However, she still had a mission and could only follow his instructions to leave reluctantly.

Under the service of Rayne, Alice put on the complicated palace attire one layer after another and released her senses to investigate the path around the study.

"Ah…"

Suddenly, her expression changed.

Indeed, she had failed without the help of the Great Teacher.

Halfway through her attire, Alice looked at Rayne awkwardly.

"This is bad."

"What's wrong?"

"There's a... big shot outside."

...

In the corridor outside the palace's study, an experienced old elf in a black cloak and mithril armor strode over.

It was the regent, Hamilton.

As the current person in charge of Leta, he was the one who ordered for Rayne Haines to be imprisoned.

Working with the Haines people was an immense humiliation for the regent.

However, the skull of Goddess Compassion was an utmost treasure that he wanted no matter what.

Initially, the regent intended to deal with the Grand Prince of Haines, Edgeworth, slowly.

But now, after Alice's landslide victory over the Breaking Moon Queen, his authority had almost collapsed overnight.

On the very same day. A large number of nobles hedged their bets onto the new Moonlight Queen and the White Light Courtyard was swarmed with guests. The regent had no choice but to take action immediately.

In order to focus on dealing with Alice…

The regent decided to test this Prince of Haines first.

When Regent Hamilton pushed the door open and arrived before Rayne...

He looked at the ruined study and could not help but frown.

On the ground, the regent caught sight of a silver high heel.

Instantly, he understood.

It seemed like there was a guest in this study last night.

The regent was expressionless. "Seems like I've disturbed you, Your Highness?"

"Don't worry, she's already gone."

At that moment, Rayne Haines was sitting calmly in front of the Moonlight Queen's desk with a kind smile.

Gone?

What a pity.

The regent was very displeased. As the mastermind behind the house arrest of Rayne, the fact that Rayne was living such a carefree life in Leta made him feel like a failure.

If he knew which sl*t of Leta was the one who was unable to control her lower body and fornicated with this man from Haines, he would definitely make her pay the price.

However, speaking of which…

This Prince Rayne was ridiculous as well. He had only been locked in the study for two days—how did he hook up with a woman in the Moonlight Queen's palace?

This reminded the regent of the report that his subordinate had handed him previously.

According to the surveillance team of the law enforcement squad, Rayne Haines seemed to be extremely popular among women for some unknown reason.

It was said that the female law enforcers who had interacted with him were deeply mesmerized by his eyes and praised him immensely.

In fact, a female mage even reported that there seemed to be some sort of Nether Realm corruption in Rayne's eyes, causing him to possess an extraordinary charm in the eyes of the opposite sex.

However, the regent and the other men could not sense his so-called charm at all.

Therefore, the regent remembered this matter silently but did not make any other reaction.

Actually, he did not believe that there was anything special about this human.

Most likely, this was just some cheap method that this playboy prince had learned through many years of experience.

Furthermore, those law enforcers had the cheek to make their reasons sound dignified despite the fact that they were clearly flirting with the enemy... Perhaps it was time to clean up this group of useless fools.

Now, the regent stared into Rayne's eyes.

No matter how he looked at those eyes, he could not sense any charm from Rayne.

On the contrary, he was inexplicably furious just by looking at this human.

The Prince of the Haines Empire.

Rayne Haines.

Ever since he was captured, the young man before him had been nonchalant without any hint of panic.

Wasn't he way too calm...

This 19-year-old brat was caught by a bunch of elves who were notorious for being hostile towards humans while he was out sightseeing.

However, he did not seem surprised that he had fallen into the hands of the elves.

In fact, he was even in the mood to have fun with women.
