Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 90.2: Command, Compulsion, Humiliation and Obedience (2)

While he was waiting for the Great Teacher to return, Rayne's attention was back on Little Black Duck.

By now, Little Black Duck had already died 34 times.

After being killed by the Black Catastrophe time and again, Little Black Duck had already obtained a skull that was as tough as a rock, a flexible spine and a steel body that was covered in armor.

It seemed as though Little Black Duck could finally survive from the Black Catastrophe with such a powerful defense.

However, it was still way too naive.

The environment that Little Black Duck lived in was not the vast nature.

It was a duel colosseum.

The final endpoint to Little Black Duck's evolution was never to survive against its natural enemies.

It was to become the natural enemy of the Black Catastrophes.

This little fellow still had a long way to go.

A few hours later.

Edaline had returned.

After killing the Black Catastrophes outside, she even went to the elven secret ground in the skies and destroyed a fallen country that was corroded by black magic. However, when Edaline returned to the greenhouse…

She frowned.

She questioned, "Why are you the only one, Rayne?"

Where was the Great Teacher?

Wasn't that pointy ear supposed to protect Rayne?

Right then.

Another dimensional rift was torn apart.

The Great Teacher had returned.

At that moment, the Great Teacher who had returned already possessed a completely different mental state from when she escaped from Rayne earlier on.

After pondering in the palace for a long time, the Great Teacher finally decided to lay her cards on the table with Rayne and sever all emotions with the latter.

Rayne Haines, this fiendish man, was constantly tempting her to fall into the abyss.

She had to resist that temptation.

The fact that Alice was already his loyal puppy was enough of a headache for the Great Teacher.

If even she fell into the claws of Rayne, what would happen to Leta?

Speaking of which, the Great Teacher did not think that the Haines Empire would invade Leta's sovereignty or steal its resources by controlling her and Alice.

After all, the Haines Empire was a country that followed the edict of Order strictly.

They had little ambition to invade and plunder resources externally.

Their main interests and hobbies were to maintain the balance of the mortal world and be a shit-stirrer everywhere.

Even so, the Great Teacher still felt that she had to be wary of Rayne.

Even the quasigods seemed to be in silent acknowledgment towards him courting her.

However…

Wishing her happiness?

Ridiculous…

For a flesh sacrificial weapon that was about to die soon, the Great Teacher did not need that sort of thing.

Her remaining life should be turned into firewood and thrown into the furnace of the Leta until the day it burned completely.

The Great Teacher did not only want to draw a line between her and Rayne.

She even had to be wary of his actions towards Alice; she had to let Alice recognize the danger of Rayne.

At that moment.

The moment the Great Teacher returned to the greenhouse, she heard the accusations made against her by Edaline.

"Pointy ear, where did you go?"

Edaline said coldly, "Your mission is to ensure the safety of Rayne. Why? Do you wish for nothing more than for the Prince of Haines to be killed by the Black Catastrophe or the monster below?"

Yes…

This was a younger sister feeling indignant for her brother.

Towards Edaline's sarcastic accusation...

The Great Teacher was extremely calm and even a little happy.

Very good.

She felt that this was a good opportunity!

She could make use of this opportunity to switch jobs with Edaline.

Since you're worried that I'll hurt your brother, how about you protect him in the greenhouse instead?

The Great Teacher would head out to fight against the Black Catastrophes.

Edaline would stay in the greenhouse with Rayne.

With that, there would be no chance Rayne could tempt her with his evil dragon eyes.

That's right, that would be the way...

The Great Teacher heaved a sigh of relief.

She felt as though a weight had been lifted off her shoulders—she had finally escaped from the hands of Rayne.

However, just as the Great Teacher was about to express her thoughts…

Suddenly, a pair of hands pressed down on her shoulders.

It was Rayne.

The Great Teacher's body shuddered slightly.

Rayne smiled warmly. "Don't say that, Little Eda. The Great Teacher merely left for a short while."

"I've been inspired by discussing academia with you, Great Teacher. If possible, I hope that you can continue to teach me."

The strength in Rayne's grip seemed to have intensified.

He gripped the Great Teacher's shoulder and asked gently.

"Do you think that's alright? Great Teacher Elktela Lucia."

The Great Teacher began to panic.

Through Rayne's gentle words...

There was a hint of coercion and threat that only the Great Teacher could identify.

The Great Teacher's heart skipped a beat.

Ever since she smelted himself into the God Regulating Mechanism and became Leta's undeniably strongest demigod, she became one of the most respected existences in the mortal world.

She represented Leta and possessed immense strength.

Nobody dared to offend the great Great Teacher of Leta.

All these years, when she interacted with others, the only things she heard were pleas and official invitations to cooperate.

Even the arrogant Moonlight Court had to be extremely cautious when they spoke to her and consider the consequences of every single sentence.

That was because she was the strongest elven demigod.

At the same time, she was the terrifying cage that sealed the quasigods.

But today…

She was ordered and even coerced.

She should have resisted such humiliation.

Furthermore, she was completely capable of making the offending Rayne pay…

Even if it was in front of Edaline.

However…

When the Great Teacher turned back and looked at Rayne…

Those alluring eyes that shone like stars were so beautiful that the Great Teacher even forgot to breathe.

Rayne's tender gaze.

Once more…

It took away her rationality and self-esteem.

Suddenly, she had no choice but to nod slightly and speak softly, as though she was possessed.

Her voice was filled with humiliation and sadness, as well as a cowardice that surprised even the Great Teacher herself.

"Yes, I'll protect Rayne… Please… don't worry."
