Chapter 181.2: An Unexpected Encounter with the Married Goddess (2)Chapter 181.2: An Unexpected Encounter with the Married Goddess (2)
The other party seemed to have just passed by coincidentally. He was also a little surprised when he noticed the God Consort.
"Your Highness…"
Rayne said respectfully, "I didn't expect to see the God Consort of Dawn here. If I'm disturbing you, I'll leave right away…"
The God Consort hurriedly stopped Rayne. As an esteemed guest, Rayne should be treated well on behalf of the Heavenly Kingdom. Now that the prince wanted to admire the scenery at the periphery of the Heavenly Kingdom, she naturally could not disappoint him.
However…
The God Consort looked at Rayne and asked curiously, "Your Highness Rayne, the edge of the Heavenly Kingdom is very dangerous and not to be approached. Why did you come here?"
Did no one warn the prince after he visited Dawn?
Rayne smiled. "I do know the dangers at the edge of the Heavenly Kingdom. However, the threat here is only the children of Leviathan who occasionally come to the Heavenly Kingdom to prey on others. They are just ordinary wild beasts. Compared to the threats in the cosmos and the surface ground, they should be nothing, right?"
The God Consort: "Your Highness is right…"
The God Consort could tell that surprisingly, Prince Rayne was rather knowledgeable about the Heavenly Kingdom.
The God Consort stood up. "If you don't mind, Your Highness Rayne, shall I accompany you for a walk?"
Of course, Rayne could not agree. "How can I let the goddess deign to accompany me?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe God Consort shook her head with a smile and walked to Rayne's side. "Actually… I was just about to apologize to you for the unhappiness yesterday. Our banquet wasn't well-planned."
Rayne immediately expressed his understanding towards the God Consort's apology.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Thereafter, the prince and God Consort strolled around the wheat field together and chatted happily.
Rayne was knowledgeable, cultured and refined. His words were filled with wisdom and philosophy. At the same time, this prince was filled with respect for the God Consort but not excessive reverence. When she interacted with him, the God Consort felt extremely comfortable.
As expected of the successor of the strongest Empire in the mortal world.
From his words and actions, it could be seen that this Prince of Haines was indeed an outstanding figure.
Compared to the God King she assisted…
Fufu…
There was no comparison at all.
"Speaking of which…"
After chatting for a while, the God Consort finally could not help but ask Rayne out of curiosity, "Your Highness Rayne, you seem to know the situation of the Heavenly Kingdom very well?"
Rayne smiled. "I only know a little. After all, the mission I was sent to the Heavenly Kingdom by my Mother is to help you guys fight against the Evil Star in the outer world. I definitely had to do my homework prior to my visit, right?"
"So…"
The God Consort wanted to say something but hesitated. "Was everything you said last night the conclusion you had after doing your homework, Your Highness?"
Rayne asked, "Are you referring to my suspicion that the corruption of Far Silence had already infiltrated the interior of Dawn?"
"That's right!"
The God Consort nodded vigorously. "I want to know what your brilliant insight is, Your Highness Rayne?"
"I can't say that it's brilliant. These are merely my guesses."
Rayne revealed a worried expression. "Your Highness, when I was flipping through the history of the High Elves in recent years, I realized that about 20 years ago, a plague broke out between the various Heavenly Kingdoms."
"The plague killed a large number of people, but most importantly, it took away many of the people in power at that time and their successors."
Rayne said, "By right, the nobles and their descendants living in the palace have good sanitation. Furthermore, a large number of Star Attendants will use spells to deal with the plague. The plague should not affect the royal family. That's the same in the mortal world."
The God Consort asked, "So, Your Highness, do you think that there's something fishy about this plague?"
Rayne said, "What's strange is the follow-up. This sudden plague almost took away all the famous wise rulers and their descendants whom everyone had high hopes for. This plague was so enigmatic that it was like a large-scale assassination operation using the plague as a smoke screen. However, even so… There were not many people in the entire Heavenly Kingdom who discussed this matter and no one investigated after that."
Rayne's expression was serious.
"It was only at that moment that I realized that the internal problems of the Heavenly Kingdom were probably extremely serious."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLooking at Rayne's face, the God Consort was touched at that moment.
After so many years… someone had finally noticed the existing problem of the Heavenly Kingdom just like she did.
However, after Rayne said that, he looked at the God Consort and revealed an awkward smile. "However, Your Highness, take everything I said earlier as a small talk between me and you. Please don't tell anyone else..."
As the Prince of Haines, Rayne was not suitable to say much about the internal matters of the Heavenly Kingdom.
The God Consort nodded and promised. She smiled kindly at Rayne. "Your Highness Rayne, we share the same worries. Therefore, you can speak freely with me."
Rayne first thanked the God Consort before sighing tiredly as well.
Just like the God Consort who was sighing to the sea of clouds earlier on, at this moment, Rayne revealed a helpless and exhausted expression as well.
He said softly, "Your Highness, the situation in the Heavenly Kingdom is critical right now. Both internal and external troubles are extremely serious. However, Your Highness, I hope you can believe me. I'm the Prince of Haines. Like you guys, I'm anxious about the current situation. My country has the mission of protecting the balance of the mortal world. This mission can sometimes have a negative effect on civilization. However, at the very least, my sister and I are in the Heavenly Kingdom today with only a single intention in mind. We want to help the Heavenly Kingdom defend against the attack of Far Silence."
"The Heavenly Kingdom repelled the invasion of this outer world Evil Star twice in a row and silently endured the pressure for the countries of the mortal world. However, right now, the Heavenly Kingdom is weakening day by day under the schemes of the enemy. The other countries on the surface might be able to sit back and do nothing. However, only the Haines Empire has to interfere and assist the Heavenly Kingdom to defend the mortal world."
Rayne was telling the truth.
This Evil Star named Far Silence that came from the depths of the universe was a threat to the entire mortal world.
In the early stages of the sixth era, the gods of the mortal world, Order and her Disciplinary Angel were in charge of resisting these threats.
Later on, as Order swept through the mortal world and destroyed the elven gods, she worked with Compassion to release the quasigods and forced the High Elves into the skies.
The High Elves became the frontline against the Evil Star to protect the mortal world.
In order to avoid the quasigods, the High Elves fled from the ground. This behavior was often criticized and mocked by the races on the ground.
However, in reality, as the most outstanding intelligent creatures in the mortal world, elves had always been filled with martial strength and peerless wisdom.
