Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 174.1: Hela on the Desk, Moonlight Queen Under the Desk (1)

After rejecting the invitation to attend a banquet with the Haines royal family, Moonlight Queen Alice's entire trip to Haines ended after the private meeting with Empress Cassius.

As Rayne had said before, Alice should not show too much kindness to Rayne.

It was the same for her and the Haines Empire.

Leta had fought with the quasigods for a thousand years and had been in a high-intensity state of war for a long time. They were constantly prepared to fight.

For a race of berserkers who looked elegant and beautiful but were actually unafraid of death, it was impossible for their relationship with humans to improve to how it was before certain major incidents had happened.

Next, Rayne's plan was for Alice to head to Heavenly Kingdom Dawn first. After he settled some work in the capital, he would reunite with Alice at Dawn.

No...

Perhaps 'reunite' was not the best word to be used. That was because once they were at Dawn, Rayne and Alice would be completely opposite political enemies.

After knowing Rayne's plan, Alice was a little unwilling. "Your Highness… can't we go together?"

Rayne smiled and explained to Alice gently, "We can't expose our relationship. Given that, wouldn't people be suspicious if we visit the Heavenly Kingdom together?"

"Boohoo…"

Alice was a little disappointed, but she could not find a reason to refute Rayne.

Initially, Alice was very happy to obtain the recognition of her future mother-in-law. However, now that she was about to part with her lover, she was filled with reluctance.

In Rayne's embrace, Alice felt the warmth of her lover and sniffed the infatuating scent on him. The elven Empress's eyes were filled with dreamy desire.

It was not Alice's fault.

As the chosen of the evil dragon, her body had already been modified by the eighth imprint and was completely molded into Rayne's shape.

After bidding farewell to Cassius, Alice opened a teleportation gate that led straight to Rayne's residence.

Ever since the thousandth reincarnation cycle began, Rayne could count on his fingers the number of days he spent in his residence. During this period of time, he was either busy outside or spending the night at Hela's house.

Rayne said gently to Alice, "I still have something to deal with in Haines. I can settle it in three days. Go to Dawn yourself now."

Alice agreed softly. "Yes…"

Rayne continued, "After you go to the Heavenly Kingdom… Although our goal is to suppress Compassion, if you tell this idea to the High Elves directly, I'm afraid you'll only be mocked by them. I suggest that you negotiate some acceptable cooperation with them first to deepen your relationship and work hard to integrate into them… You can discuss the details with the late queens. You're already the legal Empress. From now on, I can't interfere too much with your decisions."

Alice: "Yes…"

Although she had agreed to Rayne's request, Alice had no intention of leaving. She hugged Rayne tightly from behind and refused to let go.

Rayne asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Alice said coquettishly, "I want to accompany Your Highness…"

Rayne persuaded, "Alice, listen to me."

However, Alice could not do it.

Alice really yearned to be with her lover. Today, she was engaged to Rayne in front of Cassius, which made her love for Rayne deepen even more. She had nowhere to vent it. "Just one day is fine… Or I can leave tomorrow morning… That works too, right?"

Rayne said, "I told you, our identities are special. We should keep our distance, right?"

Alice was still unwilling to back down. "No one will see me here… Furthermore, I have the concealment magic taught to me by you, Your Highness. Even the perception of the Imperial Guards won't notice me."

"Fufu, that makes sense."

Rayne grew interested. He looked at Alice's stunningly perfect face and chuckled. "Beg me."

Alice looked at Rayne eagerly and said in an extremely pitiful tone, "Your Highness, please…"

After wagging her tail and begging her master, Alice finally received the reward she wanted.

A small accident happened not long after.

…

North of Haines, Starfall Land.

This was an ominous land. In an ancient era that could not be traced back to, countless meteors from the outer world bombarded this area one after another, flattening the mountains and evaporating the rivers.

The meteors brought with them the alien lifeforms in the stars. They were incomparably satisfied with this world as though they had obtained a treasure. They quickly enslaved and modified all living beings in the mortal world to establish a colony.

However, in the end, these aliens were forced back repeatedly under the siege of the Disciplinary Angels and the bombardment of the crystal spears. Eventually, they retreated from the stage of history tragically.

Thereafter, Starfall Land was returned to the mortal world and changed owners repeatedly in history.

In recent years, due to the unique geographical advantage of Starfall Land, it had become an important distribution hub for merchants. Finally, it relied on the Haines Empire to grow continuously and even established a business alliance on the scale of a country.

However, with the crazy expansion of the business alliance, the rising competitive pressure and the endless greed of the beneficiaries caused sex and morals to become increasingly thin in this city.

This business alliance that occupied the borders of Haines gradually became lawless after developing steadily for a few years. First, it smuggled and resold weapons. Thereafter, its business expanded and developed to the next stage. They began to carry out human transactions, selling addictions and reselling prohibited alchemy products.

These goods would be transported to the countries of the mortal world through Starfall Land. However, it was also almost certain that they would dump a large number of prohibited goods into the richest empire in the mortal world beside them.

Following that, the business alliance welcomed an unprecedented development.

The human trafficking business was well-received. In order to obtain more slaves, mercenaries were sent out consecutively to attack a few small countries. However, even so, the supply gap was not filled.
