Chapter 9: Attacking the Ancient Dragon Princess

"The Prince of Haines, the future ruler of the Empire and blood kin of Order… Rayne Haines."

There was a teleportation gate beneath Dreamland.

The Ancient Dragon Princess, Olivia, narrowed her eyes and sized up Rayne.

"As you wished, I've accepted your summon. Now, state your intentions,"

The Ancient Dragon Princess's voice was cold and stern.

She had a serious look on her face.

However, in reality, Olivia was extremely excited.

How exciting…

The person who summoned her this time round was the real Prince of Haines.

The new king who was about to replace the sickly Empress and rule over the strongest country!

Although Olivia was a Monarch, her mental state had never changed much because of her status as a Monarch of the Nether Realm.

What was the saying?

Troubles never increased or decreased because of changes in class.

Monarchs had their own troubles as well.

For example, due to the massive expansion of the Haines Empire, the number of followers of the Dragon of Lust decreased. The power of lust that she could once draw from endlessly had long diminished and could no longer fill her appetite as before!

In a few years, her garden would probably start to suffer from a famine!

This psychological weakness was also the reason why Olivia was scammed of so many dragon scales back then.

But now, the real Rayne Haines had appeared before her.

Come on, come on! State your requests!

Olivia was extremely curious as to what the Prince of Haines wanted to say to her.

On the other side.

Although Rayne felt extremely uncomfortable facing this mortal enemy of the past, he forced himself to be respectful towards her.

He said, "Before explaining the purpose of my visit and conversing, Your Highness Olivia, I hope to receive a guarantee from you."

Olivia smiled gently. "Tell me."

"Your Highness, I hope that you can guarantee that you won't use any means to spy on my thoughts."

Olivia had the ability to read minds.

However, Rayne was not willing to let others spy on his brain.

Rayne's request was not for himself, but others.

As someone who had experienced a thousand rebirths, Rayne Haines was someone who understood the origin of the world and a witness of its fate.

Just like certain taboo books, if Rayne's memories were pried upon without permission, even Olivia might break down on the spot because she could not withstand the blow.

"No problem,"

Olivia was magnanimous. She knew that in the morals of mortals, privacy was an important part and must not be offended.

"Now, I'm going to explain my intentions,"

Rayne sighed internally and bowed stiffly to Olivia.

"I want to convert to your faith and become your apostle of the continent, spreading glory for you."

"Hahahahaha!" When Olivia heard that, she burst into laughter!

To think that the reason why Rayne Haines summoned her was so ordinary and unexpected at the same time!

He actually wanted to convert to her faith!

With a new follower who was the next Emperor of the Haines Empire to boot, Olivia was naturally... happy?

Happy?!

Yeah, right!

"I see. No, definitely not! I'm not agreeable to it!"

Olivia crossed both hands to gesture an 'X' and was resistant.

"Rayne Haines, take a look at yourself! Although you refuse to let me read your mind, d-don't you know something? Your expression is filled with hatred towards me!"

Olivia frowned and said in displeasure, "Right now, you look like you're pinching your nose and talking to a pile of feces!"

She questioned, "How does this look like a defection? Is this even a conversion? How am I supposed to trust you?! You merely want to use conversion as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with me! Don't try to fool me!"

"I'm not even important in your heart. You haven't forgotten about Order at all!"

Rayne listened quietly, seemingly surprised.

Thereafter, he smiled.

It was a sincere and pleasant smile.

Olivia frowned. "Ha… what's so funny?"

Rayne said sincerely, "Your Highness Olivia, it's no wonder why you're the greatest and most respected Monarch in the entire Nether Realm."

"…?"

Olivia was stumped.

Did she say something amazing earlier on?

Why did she feel that Rayne Haines's attitude towards her had suddenly turned warm?

Rayne said in surprise, "Even I wouldn't dare to imagine that... there would be a Peerless Monarch in the Nether Realm who would be willing to let go of her arrogance and prejudice to offer to negotiate terms with a mortal."

Fufufu... that was indeed the case.

The other native evil gods in the Nether Realm were all arrogant and haughty. Every now and then, they would hold a few blood sacrifices or persecute their followers as well as a whole load of other nonsense.

No one was like her, Olivia, who was caring and amiable. Even if her followers made mistakes, she would only destroy their fetishes—there could be no other goddesses as kind as her in the Nether Realm!

Rayne Haines, I'll give it to you... you have taste.

"Fu… I'll take that as a compliment,"

Olivia harrumphed and seemed to be in a better mood. She was no longer so disgusted by Rayne's attitude.

She could understand as well. Rayne Haines was the prince of the Empire and was a blood kin of the goddess—this was someone who basked in the glory of Order as he grew up.

It would be strange if someone like this had a good impression of Olivia right from the beginning!

However, from the looks of it… after witnessing the charisma of her character, Rayne Haines had begun to acknowledge her!

Fufufufu… it's no wonder why I'm the most charming god of the Nether Realm!

Olivia was delighted as she looked at Rayne Haines in admiration.

Yes, this man was promising!

However…

What Olivia would never know was that…

All the way from Rayne's initial disgust to his passionate sincerity upon discovering Olivia's charms later on…

The entire change was faked by Rayne.

After fighting against the Dragon of Lust for hundreds of years, Rayne was definitely one of the people in the world who understood Olivia the best.

He was way too familiar with the nature of Olivia.

What a cute and gullible lass.

Rayne mocked internally.

Finally, he could get to the point of the transaction now that Olivia was coaxed into absolute bliss.
