That Is Swearing Allegiance To The Beloved

After that, she took Alice away.

The Grand Tutor did not use spatial teleportation and returned directly to the Royal Court.

For Alice, spatial teleportation was too burdensome, and she couldn't handle it.

It didn't matter.

Since the candidate for the New Moon King had been decided, it was fine to take a little more time on the way back.

Moreover, during this journey to the Royal City, The Grand Tutor could also test and teach this New Moon King.

Meanwhile, Alice was preoccupied with her thoughts.

Having embarked on this journey inexplicably, Alice had no idea what awaited her.

But she knew at least this much:

Her destiny had undergone a drastic change.

"Speaking of which, Grand Tutor..."

Alice suddenly asked, "Have you heard the name Rhine?"

Grand Tutor: "There are many people named Rhine, but there is only one Rhine we need to pay attention to. He is Prince Rhine of the Hain Empire."

Alice: "Then, may I ask how old Rhine Hain is?"

Grand Tutor: "Nineteen. Why do you ask?"

"It's nothing, I just heard a guest mention it today."

Alice replied with a cheerful smile, but her heart was filled with shock.

Because, The Mr. Rhine who had favored her last night... looked like a young man around nineteen years old!!

The Grand Tutor said, "I don't know what impression you have of the Hain Empire, but there's one thing you must understand: Leta and Hain have an irreconcilable blood feud. From now on, the Hain Empire is your enemy, and Rhine Hain is a mortal enemy that you and I must eliminate—do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

Alice nodded solemnly.

She understood.

Rhine Hain, that Prince of the Empire—was not her enemy!

If Alice had any feelings for that Prince Rhine, it was certainly not hatred, but rather, love!

The hatred between nations had nothing to do with Alice; she was just an ordinary Elf with nothing but her bloodline.

Therefore, even if he were the prince of an enemy nation, Alice would always keep a place in her heart for Mr. Rhine, whom she adored.

The Grand Tutor suddenly looked at her. "What did you just say?"

Alice: "Huh?!"

Alice was a little confused. She hadn't spoken just now.

The Grand Tutor asked coldly, "I mean, what were you thinking just now?"

Alice's expression changed drastically, and she desperately explained, "I mean, that damned Rhine Hain will be torn to shreds by us sooner or later! He's a scumbag! May he die a horrible death!"

"..."

The Grand Tutor glanced indifferently at Alice and said no more, continuing on their way.

Alas...

The Grand Tutor sighed in his heart.

This generation's New Moon King...

Is not very reassuring.

43. The Empire's Imperial Princess

After leaving Miss Alice, Rhine and Hela wasted no more time and set off for their destination at full speed.

Further north of the northern border line lay a vast expanse of Desolate Frozen Land.

And the lair of the ancient dragon Obadiah, It was said to be hidden in a certain Abyssal Fissure in the outer regions of the Desolate Frozen Land.

As they approached the Desolate Frozen Land, Hela sensed a sense of aggressive pressure in advance, And the deep hostility of that frozen land towards outsiders.

Hela looked into the distance.

They would reach the Desolate Frozen Land after crossing just one more mountain range.

The thought of possessing the ancient dragon's treasure immediately made Hela tremble with excitement.

But upon remembering that she had to fight an ancient dragon one-on-one before that, she didn't seem to look forward to the treasure anymore...

As warriors under the creation Gods of legend, ancient dragons were undoubtedly the supreme race in the mortal world. Their existence was already infinitely close to true gods.

And among them, there was indeed one dragon that worked extremely hard and, through its own efforts, successfully obtained complete divinity.

Merely Demigod Imperial Guards, in terms of prestige, were quite inferior to ancient dragons.

Of course, this wasn't absolute...

In Hela's impression, there were still a few special Demigods who could defeat ancient dragons.

For example, Leta's Grand Tutor of White Light, And also, the two monsters within their Imperial Guard.

--Ancient dragons and such... If Histia or Italien were here, they could probably crush them with one punch.

Hela mused in her heart.

After all, those two had truly heaven-defying bloodlines.

The eldest sister Histia, and Imperial Princess Italien, they broke the purity records for Demigod bloodlines in the Hain Empire and were hailed as the greatest miracles of the Hain Empire in a thousand years.

However, excluding these two ultimate Demigods whose bloodline purity exceeded 90%, with a touch of the Goddess of Order herself.

Hela, who ranked third, ... had very little confidence in herself.

Hela was naturally very powerful too.

Possessing three Demigod Dolls and four sets of max-level divine equipment, she could easily defeat ordinary Demigods in battle.

But...

She was only ordinarily powerful.

If placed in another era, Hela could also serve as the eldest sister of the Imperial Guard, or the Shield of the Empire, or something similar.

But with those two divine beings stationed in Hain, She could only resign herself to fate.

"Your Highness Rhine, actually, there's something I've always been curious about."

Recalling Italien, Hela suddenly thought of a question that had perplexed her for a long time.

"Isn't Italien Your Highness's own sister?"

Hela asked, "Why is it that the twin sister is ranked second in the Hain Empire's history among the Imperial Guard, yet you, her brother..."

Hela struck up a conversation with Rhine.

But she received no reply.

Hela turned her head to look and twitched her lips.

A Spatial Rift had appeared beside Rhine.

The Dolls, through the Spatial Rift, Were chatting and laughing with Rhine.

Good heavens...

These three brats were indeed obedient.

The Dolls had not violated the rules Hela set and left the Spatial Rift without permission.

But it was clear that this did not prevent them from deepening their relationship with Rhine.

"Your Highness's eyes are so beautiful, I wish I could see your eyes every day!"

"Miss Italien Hela, these eyes are a blessing from an Evil Dragon. Staring directly at them is not beneficial for a pure and flawless Demigod Doll like yourself, is it?"

"Then Your Highness, please [self-regulate] [self-regulate]!!"

"Right, right, I want to too!"

The Dolls [self-regulate] [self-regulate] [self-regulate] [self-regulate] [self-regulate] [self-regulate] [self-regulate] [self-regulate]

Rhine heard this and immediately put on a serious expression:

"Please don't joke around, ladies. How can Demigod Dolls be compared to prostitutes? No matter how depraved I am, I wouldn't lay a hand on Miss Hela's daughters."

"Sigh..."

The Dolls were extremely disappointed and asked weakly, "Really not allowed?"

Rhine said with a serious face: "Yes, not allowed."

"Wuwuwuwuwu..."

The Dolls were utterly dejected and let out wronged cries.

But soon, The Dolls came up with another plan.

"Then Your Highness Rhine... aren't we going to hunt an ancient dragon next?"

"Mm, that's how it is."

"Then if we perform well in battle, can we ask Rhine Your Highness for a reward?"

"A reward?"

"After all, Hela and I are going to risk our lives fighting for Your Highness! Your Highness gave Hela treasure as a reward, so what reward will you give us?"

Rhine heard this and felt it made sense: "Then, ladies, what specific reward would you like?"

The Dolls looked shy, with a "you know what I mean" expression.

"Hmm..."

Rhine frowned, thinking seriously.

Hela, who was nearby, immediately spoke: "Rhine Your Highness, you don't need to take those few perverted girls' jokes seriously. You don't have to promise them..."

Rhine: "Alright, I promise you!"

The Dolls: "Ooh ooh ooh!!!"

Hela rolled her eyes.

Rhine continued with a smile: "However, the most I can give you as a reward is just kisses."

Hela breathed a sigh of relief: "Just a kiss... then it's nothing."

"Kisses..."

The Dolls immediately got excited: "Then I want to kiss Your Highness all day!"

Hela's mouth twitched again.

The Dolls: "We want kisses every day!"

Hey
