Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 114.1: I Want It… Please Reward Me… (1)

After healing Edaline and retrieving the Destiny Jade, Rayne had already completed all the missions in the Deep Tundra… no, there was only one more.

"Little Eda, do it."

"..."

Needless to say, Edaline understood what Rayne meant.

She activated the forbidden curse from afar and instantly, the crystal teleportation gates in the Deep Tundra turned into ashes against the explosion that carried the sure-kill attribute.

The crystal ark of the fifth era had already lost its constructors. At this point, with the crystal teleportation gates destroyed, it had lost its path to invade the mortal world as well.

Without Order, there was no way to repair those crystal structures.

After losing all the teleportation gates, the crystal ark would be completely lost in the alternate dimension. Apart from a rare few divine beings with powerful divinity and fate with the crystal ark, no one would be able to travel back and forth between the two worlds.

At this point…

Rayne's mission in the Deep Tundra had already come to an end.

Next, Rayne's target was the palace of Leta.

Edaline tore through space and opened two teleportation rifts, stabilizing the paths within.

One led to the Leta palace and the other to the capital of Haines.

"Take care of yourself. Remember to call for me if you encounter any danger."

"Don't worry about me."

After bidding farewell, the siblings entered the rifts.

…

Capital of Leta.

White Light Courtyard.

"So… everything is over?"

In her study, the Great Teacher received the Prince of Haines.

This was a secret meeting. After all, according to the rules, the capital of Leta was firmly against any visits by the people of Haines.

"Yes."

Rayne reported to the Great Teacher the results of his battle in the Deep Tundra. "The teleportation gates have already been destroyed and the problem of the Black Catastrophes in the Desolate Tundra has been resolved. As for the bug swarm, they have also been completely destroyed by Prosperity. Right now, the Desolate Tundra is extremely clean and the temperature is even rising… Who knows, we might even be able to develop it."

"Is that so? That's good… Leta has benefited immensely from this collaboration. Thank you…"

As the Great Teacher spoke, her expression turned unnatural.

Upon seeing Rayne again, the Great Teacher's body turned a little hot. She had already sensed something, or rather… She was already looking forward to something.

The battle was over. Be it the Great Teacher's mission or Rayne's work, everything was over.

Next… was the time for promises to be fulfilled.

"Rayne, I'm guessing... you're not only here to report to me about work, right?"

The Great Teacher began to rub her legs together unconsciously. The way she looked at Rayne also contained an additional hint of infatuation.

After changing into a brand new dress, this beautiful silver-haired elf, the strongest elven demigod in the mortal world... Every single move she made was peerlessly coquettish and shockingly beautiful.

"If you want to do anything to me… the room downstairs has great soundproofing. You can do as you please."

With that said…

The Great Teacher looked in a direction shyly.

That was the Great Teacher's bedroom.

After processing it with a spell barrier, that place possessed the highest level of sensory blockage.

She had long known that Rayne was skilled… but if she was in that room, no matter how she lost her composure, no one would know.

However, the Great Teacher's courtship received no response.

Rayne merely smiled bitterly in exasperation.

"Elktela, do you really want it that badly?"

The Great Teacher was extremely embarrassed. "N-No! Isn't everything because you..."

The smile on Rayne's face faded. "Because I?"

"S-Sorry…"

The majestic Great Teacher of White Light instantly admitted defeat against Rayne's cold question. She said weakly, "I… I mean… Rayne, you said that… you would reward me…"

When Rayne heard that, he smiled once more.

"We'll talk about that a few days later. Elktela, now is not the time to flirt. We have important matters to discuss urgently."

"Oo…"

The Great Teacher let out a sorrowful whimper of disappointment.

Right now, the Great Teacher did not have the right to bargain in front of Rayne. She could only obey his conditions and requests in silence.

"…So, what do you want to say?"

Rayne asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties on the side of Alice?"

At the mention of those troublesome matters, the Great Teacher sighed helplessly.

"Yes, the palace has a lot of objections towards the coronation of Alice. Right now, they're obstructing the coronation ceremony in all sorts of ways."

Rayne nodded gently. "Actually, the resistance of the palace is not entirely a bad thing as long as we can make use of it properly. Elktela, I can stay and help you guys."

"You're thinking too much…"

The Great Teacher did not bear much hope for Rayne.

"It's not that I doubt your capabilities. However, as a foreigner, you might not be able to imagine how strong Leta's hostility towards Haines is. Notwithstanding the fact that you want to interfere in Leta's internal affairs, your appearance in the capital of Leta right now is already extremely dangerous."

Regarding that…

Naturally, Rayne knew.

Legend has it that elves were the essence of life born from the earth.

They were intelligent and powerful, protected by the elven gods who were also born from the concept of nature.

However, Order slaughtered all the elven gods and turned them into quasigods, hunting the elves in reverse.

It was blasphemy against the gods and destroyed their civilization. The sin of every single elf in Leta that was killed by the quasigods could be blamed on Order.

As the spokesperson of Order, it was easy to imagine how terribly Haines was viewed in Leta.

It was extremely common for them to expel or even execute anyone from Haines who entered Leta's territory.

However, Rayne revealed a meaningful smile.

"What if I have a way to stay in the capital of Leta?"

The Great Teacher: "I'll look forward to that then... Hmm?"

Before she could finish, the Great Teacher's expression changed.

That was because she could sense that someone had barged into the White Light Courtyard.

It was… the law enforcement squad controlled by the Moonlight Court!

Thereafter, there was a knock on the door of the Great Teacher's study.

The Great Teacher's expression turned serious. "Rayne, the people of the palace have discovered you. I'll immediately…"

"It's fine."

Rayne said calmly, "Go and open the door."

The Great Teacher: "…"
