Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 129: But I…

In a remote residence in the capital of Leta.

Lynn held the copied version of the edict.

She fell into silence.

Perhaps, at that moment, she was facing her greatest test after receiving the faith of the Blood Goddess.

It was extremely rare for her to receive an edict from the Blood Empress.

However, she could not understand it at all.

First was the name, Rayne Haines.

Wasn't that person… a prince of the Haines Empire?

Lynn had never been to Haines before, but she had just heard Histia mention this person.

She heard from Histia that he was the successor of the Haines Empire. However, although this prince's endowment was not bad, he had an inferior character and was obsessed with debauchery, causing her to be worried.

Why…

Would the Blood Empress mention this prince in her edict?

Furthermore, shouldn't the prince be in the Haines Empire?

However, most importantly...

Serve him and do him...

Lynn was extremely shy.

W-What is the meaning of this?!

Could it be that she wants me to... do... those... l-lewd things with this prince who loved... debauchery?!

But that can't be... right?!

My faith is in the God of Strife!

Wasn't this the sort of thing that would be done in the evil dragon faction that the Empress despised the most?!

As a follower of the Empress, if I did such a lewd thing, it would be no different from blasphemy!

Furthermore, isn't it way too embarrassing to do it with a man I've never even met before?!

I'm... still a virgin!

That's enough!

Stop!

That's definitely not what the Empress meant!

At the thought of that nonsense, Lynn could not help but blush.

Finally, she tried her best to control the impure thoughts in her mind and let her mind return to the right track.

So...

Does Her Majesty intend for me to do away with this prince? Is that it?

But why would she ask me to serve him with reverence in that case?

Or could it be there's some other meaning to this...?

Lynn could not figure it out.

Not at all.

Just like that, Lynn stared at the Blood Empress's edict and pondered for a long time.

It was only when it was getting late that Lynn realized… that she had been in a daze in the room for the entire day.

However, she still had no clue as to how to go about the edict.

Firstly...

Since it was an edict from the Empress, Lynn would carry it out no matter what.

As long as there was a clear mission, it did not matter the price she had to pay or the risk she had to endure.

She would definitely not let down the Empress's expectations.

However, she was helpless towards an unclear edict.

Perhaps...

She should head out for a walk.

With a sigh, Lynn held the edict and left the room.

As she walked on the streets of the capital of Leta, she could clearly sense wary and hostile gazes from all directions.

Elves hated humans.

To be precise, they hated the Haines people and all existences that believed in Order.

Thankfully, because Lynn had the face of the Inca people, the elves merely disliked her.

If someone from Haines were to appear before them...

Something terrifying was bound to happen.

In the face of the malicious gazes from all over the place, Lynn would always reply with a gentle smile, trying her best to tell them—Don't worry, I'm very safe and I'm not hostile towards you.

That was until...

Lynn met that girl.

Unlike Lynn who was hated by both humans and dogs alike, the moment that golden-haired girl appeared, everyone's attention was attracted instantly. The elves on both sides of the street clapped and cheered for her. In fact, some of them were even kneeling down to her sincerely!

Lynn could tell at first glance that she was extraordinary.

The majestic divinity and authority in her body was a silent indication of her noble bloodline. As for the silver-white tattoos on her chest and wrist, as someone who had once been the servant of the Death God, Lynn recognized them immediately.

The tattoos contained noble souls.

So, that was the case. This girl was no ordinary demigod.

She was... the Moonlight Queen.

As the Empress of Leta who had the souls of the late queens in the ancient eras residing in her body, this Moonlight Queen should be a very knowledgeable person. Lynn thought that perhaps... she could ask this person for guidance regarding the edict.

Lynn looked at the Moonlight Queen who was walking over from not far away. The latter lowered her head in deep thought, looking like she had something on her mind.

Lynn could not help but feel curious.

She wondered what the Moonlight Queen was pondering about.

.

His Highness must definitely be very happy now that I've completed another round of the sacred test, right?

How… will His Highness reward me tonight?

Ahh, the mere thought of it makes my body burn up...

Alice admired the silver-white tattoo on her wrist but the only thought in her mind was sex.

As for the Breaking Moon Queen, she was already speechless. She ridiculed in Alice's heart, "Say, you've already destroyed the Upper Moon Queen and me, two martial arts experts. The commoners say that you're the one true queen who only appears once in a thousand years... So can't you have any other pursuits now?"

"No."

Alice said blissfully, "It's the most normal thing to miss and love someone. I'm going to be lovey dovey with His Highness for the rest of my life!"

The Breaking Moon Queen: "You're the only one who's in love! But what about me? What sin did I commit to have to be toyed together with you... Damn it, looks like I'm going to be trampled by that bastard again tonight..."

The Breaking Moon Queen cursed to express her displeasure.

However... The tone of the Breaking Moon Queen right now no longer contained her initial rage and pride.

Instead, it was much more docile.

On the way home, Alice walked through the crowd and arrived at a narrow path with no one around.

The reason why she did not use spatial teleportation to return to the city was because she wanted to find an opportunity to infiltrate the palace and head to Rayne's room to claim credit.

However…

On the silent path, a phantom suddenly appeared in front of Alice without warning.

Even with her demigod senses, Alice did not notice her beforehand.

It was a coquettish woman in black robes with a black and white dagger on her back. She seemed to be from Inca.

"Be careful, Alice."

At that moment, the Breaking Moon Queen reminded, "That woman is not simple. She's a ruthless character."

"Got it…" Alice replied softly.

"Hello... Your Majesty Moonlight Queen. I'd like to delay you for a while."

However, in reality, the beautiful black-haired woman had no ill intentions.

She merely took out a note in embarrassment.

In order to not arouse the disgust of the Empress of Leta, Lynn erased the name of Rayne Haines.

In the end, Lynn still chose to seek help from someone reliable regarding the edict.

She said, "I know that you're an intelligent and outstanding Moonlight Queen. I feel that if it was you, you would definitely make a correct and reliable judgment of this edict… Therefore, please."

Alice was stunned. "Huh... edict?"

Alice did not have much faith and did not know if she had the ability to interpret the edict like the divine priests.

However, just as Alice looked at the note in confusion...

She went silent.

She looked at the note and at Lynn, a meaningful smile gradually appearing on her face.

Wasn't this edict... extremely easy to understand?!
