Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 98.2: Lure, Negation, Disparagement and Love (2)

Rayne said, "Forgive my disrespect, Elktela. After I confessed to you, I thought about it carefully for a long time. Gradually, I realized that… there doesn't seem to be anything about you that's worthy of my courtship."

Rayne said indifferently with a calm tone.

However, every single word he said was like a sharp awl that pierced into the depths of the Great Teacher’s fragile heart.

Rayne said, "To be honest, you're way too boring. I merely flirted with you for a while and you used mithril to threaten me right away. From the way you dress, I can't see your passion for life, let alone sense your charm. Perhaps I was attracted to you purely due to your divinity. That was just an animalistic carnal instinct borne by mistake. Isn't that laughable?"

The Great Teacher was thoroughly shocked and was completely stunned. She looked at Rayne foolishly and her mind almost stopped thinking.

As for Rayne, his expression was serious as he asked, "Miss Elktela, do you feel the same way as me? Tell me the truth, do you like this shell of mine that was blessed by Olivia, or do you like me as a person?"

The ball was now in the Great Teacher’s court.

The Great Teacher’s heart wavered and she was at a loss.

However, she knew that Rayne's question was probably... her last chance.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that Rayne might be an existence with a special meaning to her.

That was because after being mocked by Rayne, what she felt was neither anger nor coldness.

It was different from facing the questioning of any other mortal.

Right now, she was very sad.

She did not want to become the boring woman that Rayne mentioned.

She wanted to argue and salvage the situation so that Rayne would continue to pay attention to her.

At the very least…

She should let Rayne see her true intentions.

"I-It's your soul and you in essence…"

The Great Teacher endured her grievances and shyness and tried her best to say what was on her mind to Rayne.

"I like your wisdom, your demeanor and your coldness towards me... I like it all. You're like a drug that I can no longer... quit.

Eventually, the Great Teacher spoke.

Leta's legend, the strongest demigod among the elves, and the Great Teacher whom the citizens of Leta admired as a myth, Elktela Lucia.

In the end, she used such a lowly tone and confessed to the prince of an enemy country with humiliation.

So... how will Rayne reply me?

The Great Teacher’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Rayne pitifully, awaiting his reply.

However, Rayne's cold reply almost tore the Great Teacher’s soul apart in pain.

"Fufu."

Rayne sneered. "You're truly pathetic then."

Rayne rejected the Great Teacher’s proclamation of love.

It was as though he had seen a pile of trash and scoffed.

With that said, Rayne turned to leave indifferently, unwilling to get entangled with the Great Teacher anymore.

The Great Teacher was left standing on the spot, not knowing what to do as her soul convulsed in pain.

Rayne's final advice entered the ears of the Great Teacher along with the wind.

"Give up, Elktela."

…

Time passed bit by bit in the dead night.

A long time passed.

The Great Teacher was still rooted on the spot with an indescribable sadness in her heart.

Everything that happened tonight was the same as seven days ago.

A certain someone confessed.

Thereafter, a certain someone was rejected.

Finally, Rayne shed his pretense of politeness. At the same time, the Great Teacher finally understood Rayne's true feelings.

He did not like her.

His reasons were fully valid—that was an answer that he had come up with after careful consideration.

He rejected the Great Teacher completely.

Pathetic and boring…

That was the final answer he came up with after cohabiting with the Great Teacher for a month.

Yet, unlike Rayne...

The Great Teacher could no longer lie to herself—she truly did not want to lose Rayne!

The Great Teacher no longer knew what to do.

She could no longer look at the mess she created.

She no longer dared to imagine how she was going to face Rayne Haines the next day.

However, the only thing she was certain of was…

Indeed, she had already lost the love of Rayne and would probably never be able to regain it.

S-She...

All she had to do was agree to it at that time!

Why did I have to be so stubborn over something so simple?!

A strong sense of defeat and regret almost tore the Great Teacher apart.

At that moment, the quasigods could not stand it anymore.

[Elktela, there's no need to be so sad. Everything isn't over yet.]

The Great Teacher’s voice was pained. "I'm sorry, everyone. Please let me be alone for a while…"

[I could sense his emotions. He didn't reject you sincerely. This is just a game between him and you.]

"That's enough… please don't speak to me now…"

[Elktela, you're actually secretly delighted after being scolded, right?]

"I'm not!"

"Enough, that's enough…"

The Great Teacher’s heart was shattered from the blow. She sat down on the spot in pain and curled up.

"I'm just a modified machine… what rights do I have to fall in love with someone…"

Finally…

In the body of the Great Teacher, even the supreme god who had maintained his silence for the longest time could no longer sit still and scolded angrily,

[Arghhhh, Elktela! Why are you so naive?! If this goes on, when will you finally be able to hunt down a man you fancy and start reproducing?!]

[Isn't it normal to meet shy guys in the field of love? Or have you gotten so arrogant to the point where you think that you can make all the opposite sex fall in love with you and make love to you willingly with just a couple of whimpers without having to pay any price?!]

That was the Main God of the elves in the past.

Free spirit of the blazing sun—Life.

"Life…"

The Great Teacher was stunned. She could not believe that the supreme Main God of the past would give her guidance at this moment as well.

Except... his words did not sound too pleasant.

The Great Teacher: "I don't understand what you're talking about. What exactly do you think I should do?"

The Main God of the elves sent an edict for Elktela.

[Elktela Lucia, stop pretending to be a virtuous maiden.]

[Hurry and display your aggressiveness as a beast in heat!]

[Lick him!]

The Great Teacher was shocked. "Huh?!"

[What's wrong?]

The Great Teacher sounded surprised. "Lick… him? You're saying that I should court him instead, right?"

[Yes, court him! But not like a human!]

"I-I… can't do something like that! No! That's not something I should do at all!"

[Use every means available! Stop at nothing!]

The Great Teacher’s voice trembled with incomparable resistance.

"H-How can I give up my pride as an elf and do such a thing…"

[You can't do it?]

The Great Teacher’s beautiful face turned pale as she shook her head furiously.

"It's impossible! Absolutely impossible! It's way too humiliating! Furthermore, chasing after someone relentlessly... isn't that just plain harassment?! Wouldn't that only make him look down on me even more?! "

The Great Teacher would not relent even if she had to die.

At that moment, a quasigod with the power of mind reading had already seen through everything.

[Ah, ah... Elktela. She's secretly delighted once more.]
