Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 132.2: Don't Contact Me Anymore, I'm Afraid That His Highness Might Misunderstand… (2)

"Farewell?!"

The regent was alarmed. "Wait, you're leaving just like that? Don't you still want to challenge Elktela?"

Lynn said truthfully, "That was my original plan, but I just received a new edict."

The regent: "Edict?"

Lynn: "That's right. Thank you for your care, Your Highness the Regent. I have to put aside my challenge to the Great Teacher for the time being. Right now, I have to leave Leta immediately to look for someone…"

"Someone? Who are you looking for? There shouldn't be a need to be in such a hurry, right...?"

Although the regent could still hold it in on the surface, he was burning with anxiety internally.

What in the world was going on?!

Lynn was going to leave?!

If Lynn was gone, who would help him assassinate the Great Teacher and Moonlight Queen?!

How was he going to explain this to the group of people in the living room?!

She was going to stop her current plan just because of some stupid edict?! Couldn't she kill the person on the edict after slaughtering the Great Teacher and Moonlight Queen?!

Lynn's mind was made up. However, out of respect and gratitude to the regent…

"I have to carry out the Empress's edict. If you're curious who he is, I can tell you his name, Your Highness the Regent."

She said, "His name is Rayne Haines."

F*ck…

Upon hearing that name…

The regent's heart that was about to break down calmed down instantly.

It was another ecstasy of surviving a calamity.

Amazing… way too amazing…

He was wondering who this woman was looking for… so it was him.

Rayne Haines?

Wasn't he right here in Leta?

The regent smiled. "Miss Lynn, you might not know it yet, but Rayne Haines is in Leta right now."

"Huh?"

Lynn was stunned. "But His Highness Rayne… should be the Prince of Haines, right?"

This was Leta, wasn't it?

The regent was still smiling. "If you don't believe me, you can take a look at Moonlight Queen's study on the third floor of the palace. That prince committed a serious crime in Leta and is now imprisoned there."

Third floor of the palace?

Instantly, Lynn's eyes widened in surprise.

She recalled the handsome human male she had just seen in the palace… could it be that…

He was Prince Rayne?!

Ah...

Were there truly such fated encounters in this world...?

Inexplicably delighted, Lynn expressed her thanks to the regent repeatedly.

The regent: "By the way, can I ask?"

Lynn replied, "Yes, go ahead, Your Highness the Regent."

The regent asked, "Why are you looking for Rayne Haines?"

In reality, the regent was not very curious about that question.

After all, the woman before him was a violent and crazy follower of the Blood Goddess. She was the ultimate ruthless person who would challenge Histia in order to please the Blood Goddess.

What sort of outcome would there be for someone that's about to be visited by such a fanatic?

That was also the reason why the regent told Lynn the location of Rayne without hesitation.

Rayne Haines had a personal relationship with the Great Teacher. Furthermore, he revealed that he seemed to have a good relationship with Alice as well.

In that case, Rayne's stance made him a complete enemy of the regent.

Coupled with the fact that the regent imprisoned Rayne Haines, the prince must have a strong sense of hatred towards him.

The regent did not want this lad to return to Haines alive at all.

If Lynn could really kill Rayne along the way...

That was naturally a great thing!

In that case, the regent could seek the Grand Prince of Haines directly and exchange for the skull of Compassion!

Furthermore, he did not have to bear any responsibility for the prince's death. Moreover, after killing Rayne, Lynn would continue to hunt down the Great Teacher—it was a double blessing!

However, after the regent asked that question…

A look of embarrassment that did not match Lynn's image as a fanatic follower of the Blood Goddess appeared on her face.

This chosen of the Blood Goddess who could defeat Histia was now like a young girl who was about to do something bad. Her face was flushed red and her heart raced as she stammered the truth with anticipation and fear of the unknown.

Now...

Because she was incomparably shy, this peerless beauty of Inca shrank her body. She gestured a circle with one hand while using a finger of the other hand to insert slowly.

Blushing, Lynn whispered, "Right now... I'm going to be his lover."

...

Not long after.

When the regent returned from outside…

There was no longer a smile on his face.

At that moment, it was as though his soul had been sucked out of him and his heart was dead.

The big shots in the living room were excited at the moment. All of them had regained their confidence after being encouraged by the regent. Right now, they were using obscure code words to discuss how they should concoct a scheme to assist the mysterious assassin in getting rid of the Moonlight Queen.

However, the regent could only feel a bone-chilling coldness and abyssal despair in this lively room.

"Your Highness the Regent"

At that moment, an elder of the parliament looked at the regent with a smile. "When will the assassin you mentioned make a move?"

The regent shuddered. He used his lifetime's worth of acting skills and pretended to be calm. In fact, he even squeezed out a meaningful smile.

"Probably… very soon."

The elder gasped and shook his head repeatedly. "Is that so? How terrible."

Another big shot chimed in, "That's right, what a disaster. I'm sure we must make a move soon in order to protect Her Majesty."

"Hahaha, that's right!"

"Let's think of a strategy together."

"First, the White Light Courtyard..."

The living room was filled with joyful air once more.

At that moment, no one knew about it yet.

However, the mysterious assassin had already betrayed them!

The regent felt that he could not figure it out even till his death.

Damn it…

What sort of brains did that genius named Lynn have to be able to interpret the edict of the God of Strife as such a ridiculous thing?!

And now, that lunatic had converted to the camp of Alice to become a mistress of Rayne Haines... just because of a ridiculous edict!

There would be no more assassination attempts.

The regent and his interest group would never await the day the Great Teacher and Moonlight Queen were killed either.

In this thriving and happy atmosphere, their plans and expectations for the future were a joke!

However, the regent did not dare to say those words.

He could only grit his teeth and endure it bitterly, even waiting for the meeting to end with tears in his eyes.

Finally, these big shots finalized a few plans and made a few deals before leaving the regent's residence in high spirits.

.

The regent was the only one left, looking at the empty living room in despair.

In a single day, the regent seemed to have aged ten years.
