Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 95.1: So, You and Mr. Rayne… Did It? (1)

Leta Palace.

The Great Teacher shattered the space and stepped through the gaps in it. In the blink of an eye, she returned to the capital of Leta from the greenhouse of the Deep Tundra.

The Great Teacher was not returning to the palace as an excuse to escape from the claws of Rayne and gain a breather.

That was because as the commander of the White Light Courtyard, she indeed had a lot of work to do in the capital.

Furthermore, Alice was still there.

The disagreement over the succession of the Moon Queen was the greatest predicament for Leta right now.

For the longest time, the moon demigods who inherited the power of the elven Main God, Compassion, and ascended through the purified remains of quasigods had noble statuses in Leta that surpassed all other demigods.

They were revered as the Empresses of Leta and were known as the Moon Queens.

The Moon Queen's nurturing process had always been done by the Moonlight Court.

At the same time, the relationship between the Moonlight Court and the Moon Queen had always been intimately linked.

But now, an exception like Alice had appeared in Leta.

Although she was also a descendant of the nobles of the palace, she was an exile who was completely unfamiliar with the palace.

What was even more awkward was that due to the cruel persecution of Alice's family back then, it was difficult for the powerhouses of the palace to welcome her back into the palace with smiles.

The Moonlight Court was afraid of losing their final authority and could only use all sorts of methods to stop Alice's ascension ritual.

Since the capital was the main base of the Moonlight Court, the Great Teacher was naturally worried about leaving Alice there alone.

For the time being, the Great Teacher was not worried that the nobles of Moonlight Court would threaten Alice's life in order to suppress her.

After all, that was way too crazy and almost meant that they would fall out completely with the demigods of the White Light Courtyard.

However…

Although they would not fall out completely for the time being, it was still simple to use some despicable methods and schemes to frame Alice and make the latter feel uncomfortable in the palace.

That was also a concern for the Great Teacher right now.

The teleportation gate opened and the Great Teacher headed straight to the White Light Courtyard.

After settling some daily matters, she went to visit Alice.

As usual, she stayed in the White Light Courtyard to learn magic. Right now, she was faced with a problem.

Since she was young, she had no experience in learning magic.

Despite that, she now had to prepare for the ascension ritual and familiarize herself with and understand a set of forbidden-grade spells.

In any case, by now, Alice already knew that the Great Teacher was working with Rayne.

It wasn't the Great Teacher who told it to Alice—she found out about it from Elebella.

Although they had only spent a short period of time together, Elebella and Alice seemed to have become best friends.

Elebella was rather unguarded towards Rayne Haines. In fact, she became his fangirl in just a few words.

In reality, the Great Teacher suspected that most of it was probably because of Alice's influence.

As a leader, she was able to let her subordinates understand and agree with her own ideologies. Her words were infectious and she was able to make her will a common goal for her subordinates… this was a talent that Alice possessed.

This was an extremely outstanding ability and had an extremely positive meaning for Alice's future path.

Of course, if the leader was using her talents to promote her sex fetishes… that was a different story.

Furthermore, after careful consideration…

The Great Teacher wondered if the reason why she was so moved towards Rayne Haines was due to Alice as well.

I-Impossible…

Although the Great Teacher lost her composure slightly under the fiendish provocation of Rayne Haines, she should not have been moved by him.

After all, the Great Teacher could not imagine how she would look like when she was in love and did not expect that day to ever come.

Each time Alice met the Great Teacher, she would ask the latter endlessly about Rayne. As such, the Great Teacher was reluctant to meet her these days.

Arriving outside the large library of the White Light Courtyard, the Great Teacher took a look at Alice who was studying from afar. After ensuring that everything was normal on the latter's side, she sighed and prepared to leave quietly to return to the Deep Tundra…

However, right then.

The door to the library was pushed open.

Alice ran to the Great Teacher excitedly and was pleasantly surprised.

"Great Teacher, you're back!"

…

In the end, the Great Teacher was still captured by the future Empress.

Under Alice's warm invitation, the Great Teacher followed her helplessly to the garden opposite the library.

The moment the two of them sat down, Alice asked impatiently.

"Great Teacher, how has Mr. Rayne been recently? Did he encounter any danger in the tundra?"

Danger?

That fellow was served by two of the strongest demigods in the mortal world—what danger could he be in?

As for how Rayne was doing recently…

Regarding Alice's question…

The Great Teacher could only give an awkward reply.

"He's been… very energetic recently."

"Is that so? That's good!"

When Alice heard that, she revealed a smile and begged sincerely, "I heard that the Deep Tundra is extremely dangerous. Please, Great Teacher, please take good care of Mr. Rayne no matter what!"

The Great Teacher nodded helplessly.

Since Rayne was the Prince of Haines, there was naturally no way she could let him die there.

"Great Teacher, you look terrible…"

Noticing the fatigue on the Great Teacher's face, Alice asked with concern, "Are you getting along fine with Mr. Rayne?"

"Not at all!"
