Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 147.2: If You Don't Like My Daughters~ (2)

At that moment, Rayne echoed, "Madam is right. The two of you have gone overboard with your jokes. That's your mother we're talking about. How can you say such things?"

After being reprimanded, the sisters apologized to their mother obediently. "Hehehe, you're right, darling. We're sorry, Mother. Don't think about our darling in the future… Darling, you'll be our exclusive possession from now on."

With that said, the two elven beauties could not help but kiss Rayne again.

Rayne returned their kisses one by one.

"Ugh…"

On the other side, the elven wife looked at her two daughters flirting with their boyfriend with a complicated expression.

In fact, there seemed to be a hint of… jealousy.

"Erm, cough cough…"

Without thinking about nonsense stuff, the elven wife coughed. "Shouldn't we get to the point?"

The sisters were stunned when they heard that and sat down reluctantly.

The younger sister smiled awkwardly. "Ah… that's right. Darling, we're here today to ask you to be our advisor."

Next, the mother and daughters explained to Rayne about how they tried to save themselves during this period of time and the regent's reaction.

The elven wife whispered. "Now that my husband has already stolen the fragment of the goddess… what should we do next?"

Rayne had a charming appearance and spoke pleasantly.

However, those were not the only reasons why the elven mother and daughters were so reliant on him.

More importantly, Rayne was going to teach them how to save themselves from this disaster.

Right now, the change in power in Leta was imminent and everyone was queuing to take sides with the winner. However, there was only one person who had to persevere.

That was the regent.

It was impossible for the regent to submit to Alice. Once Alice took over, he would definitely face reckoning.

The impending crisis made the elven mother and daughters extremely uneasy.

Rayne merely explained the pros and cons to them.

With the enhancement of Rayne's looks and favorability, coupled with his analysis and judgment which were always proven true, now, the elven mother and daughters believed his words without a doubt.

Therefore, under Rayne's instigation, they urged the regent to make a decision to release Sebastian.

In a sense, Rayne was not lying to them.

Given the current situation, once the regent fell, the Moonlight Queen would settle scores and take revenge on her political enemies. The regent's family would definitely welcome a bloodbath.

How should the pitiful mother and daughters deal with that?

Daphne's father was unreliable. That man looked friendly and gentle, but he was actually extremely cold-blooded and selfish.

When his daughter was useful, he was the kindest father.

Once his daughter's existence became a burden to him, she would only be an abandoned pawn to him.

Not to mention… The bishop had more than one child.

Not long ago, in the entire elite circle of Leta, the bold bishop was the first to introduce his son to the Moonlight Queen, wanting to matchmake her with his youngest son.

Marriage.

That was good stuff.

Of course, this was rejected sternly by the Moonlight Queen in the end.

The usually docile and amiable Moonlight Queen was extremely angry about this matter. This frightened the nobles so much that they no longer dared to mention anything about marriage to the Moonlight Queen.

In any case…

The wife and daughters of the regent were bound to the regent. Their value had already plummeted along with their husband and father, turning them into street rats.

In that case, how could the elven mother and daughters save themselves at this moment?

Perhaps instigating the regent to release Sebastian would not save their lives directly.

However, Rayne could arrange for Alice to spare their lives and even maintain their current standard of living.

This was a deal that the mother and daughters did not know the details of.

Morally speaking, this was not a good choice.

However, it was already the only way out for them that Rayne could foresee.

Rayne asked gently, "His Highness the Regent has taken out a fragment of the goddess? In that case, the summoning ritual should be able to begin. Madam, is there anything else you're worried about?"

"There's still something missing..."

The elven wife whispered.

In the end, she knew more than her two ignorant daughters.

Daphne said, "I once heard from my husband that Sebastian fused his existence into the earth. In theory, he's already dead. If we want to awaken him, someone has to stay in the earth in his place."

The elven wife had a worried expression. "In other words, we need a sacrifice with a high purity bloodline of the Moon Goddess. That's something that… can't be found at all."

Nobles with high purity bloodlines were all reputable big shots in Leta or came from powerful families.

Where was the regent, who was already deserted by everyone, going to find such a suitable candidate and kill the latter? Furthermore, it had to be someone that wouldn't arouse suspicion later on.

That was the most troublesome thing for the regent right now.

However, regarding that…

Rayne had already thought of a way for the regent.

"I have an idea about that."

The elven wife's eyes lit up. "You mean… you have a way?"

"That's right."

"Ah, bless the goddess... This is wonderful..."

The elven wife looked at Rayne with a gentler gaze. The handsome young man in front of her was much more reliable than the man in her family.

Rayne continued, "I know of a noble bloodline of the palace. Although the purity of his bloodline is high and he has a noble status, no one will be implicated if we kill him. However, I'm afraid... you won't be willing to make a move on him, Madam."

The elven wife's voice was firm. "It's a matter of life and death. If we don't make a move, we won't be able to survive. It's fine. Please tell me who it is!"

"It's the bishop."

Rayne smiled and said, "You might not know, but there was a period of time when the capital was invaded by a follower of the Blood Goddess. This despicable follower left a curse on the bishop and it will flare up not long after. I think… even if the bishop dies a few days earlier, based on the traces of the curse technique unique to the Blood Goddess followers on him, you shouldn't be suspected."

The elven wife's eyes lit up.

T-That made sense!

If there was a noble who already had the curse of a follower of the evil god on him, as long as they used the right methods, people would at most point their fingers at the evil cultists after his death.

Only, the person who was cursed and was about to be sacrificed was also her father.

However, Daphne did not feel any pressure.

That was because she knew very well that if the situation between her and her father were to be exchanged one day, her father would sacrifice himself without hesitation.

Since that was the case, what was there to hesitate about?

Just like that, the plan was finalized and the elven mother and daughters parted with Rayne reluctantly.

Before leaving, the elven wife came to Rayne's side with a gentle voice.

"Thank you so much… darling."

The elven wife leaned close to Rayne's ear and said shyly, "If you're not interested in my daughters… Perhaps you could consider me instead?"
