That Is Swearing Allegiance to My Dearest

After stuffing a room key into Rhine's hand, the rabbit-eared girl gave him a seductive wink and gracefully departed.

Rhine smiled, then tossed the key into the trash can.

.

Meanwhile, in White Vulture's room, two communication arrays were activated.

The voices of two other Demigods from the Demon Sword Sisterhood entered White Vulture's ears.

The three Demigods belonging to the Demon Sword Sisterhood were originally carrying out missions in different locations in the mortal world.

But after hearing about the changes in the Golden Land, even the other two Demigods, who were outsiders, immediately realized the gravity of the situation.

"The Prince of Hain killed Goldsmith, causing the Golden Land to completely spiral out of control? Commander, we must handle this matter with extreme caution."

"Now that the Goblins can no longer maintain the Golden Land, it's estimated that the Dwarves will retake it soon. When that happens... do you think the Dwarves will honor the debts left by the Goblins?"

To the Demigod sisters' questions, White Vulture's answer was—anything was possible.

The Demon Sword Sisterhood had a long-term cooperation with the Golden Land.

Currently, the Golden Land still owed the Demon Sword Sisterhood several payments.

And compared to the cunning and sly Goblins, the Dwarves could be described as honest and upright.

These guys were usually kind and enthusiastic, easy to get along with, but once provoked, the enraged honest folk would make the provocateurs deeply understand the brutality of the Dwarf race.

Therefore, depending on the mood of the first Dwarf faction to occupy the Golden Land, the Demon Sword Sisterhood might actually have a chance to collect their commissions.

However.

"Sisters, you haven't seen the Golden Land for yourselves, so some things are still unclear to you..."

White Vulture said dreamily, "The problem now... isn't about those rewards at all..."

Although the Golden Land was a reliable employer, as the strongest mercenary organization in the mortal world with three Demigods, the Demon Sword Sisterhood never lacked work.

But there was one person currently in the Golden Land who had captured the heart of the entire Demon Sword Sisterhood, making them all reluctant to leave the Golden Land...

The Prince of the Hain Empire, Rhine Hyun.

This man, with the most noble bloodline in the entire mortal world, was the first time the members of the Demon Sword Sisterhood had seen his true face with their own eyes.

That face, those eyes, were truly...

enough to eclipse the sun and moon!!

And among all the Sisterhood members stationed in the Golden Land, the one most captivated by Rhine was their Commander, White Vulture.

White Vulture had confronted Rhine Hyun and witnessed the Prince's demeanor firsthand.

At the same time, through the powerful senses of a Demigod, White Vulture had also discovered more unforgettable memories of the Prince that she couldn't stop thinking about.

In short, as a deformed race cursed by the Gods, unable to reproduce normally.

The Demon Sword Sisterhood had never shied away from their desire for Life.

Let's be upfront.

They wanted to perform the Azalea Secret Ritual with Rhine Hyun!!

.

White Vulture ended her call with her two Demigod sisters.

The final decision of their discussion was for White Vulture to continue staying in the Golden Land to observe the situation.

The two Demigod sisters would also prepare themselves to provide support at any time.

White Vulture walked out of her room.

She wanted to see someone now.

She arrived at the ground fortress of the Golden Land and found her target on a rooftop.

The Demigod Imperial Guard of the Hain Empire, Hela Hyun.

Hela today seemed different from usual.

The turmoil in the Golden Land had kept her awake all night. Now, she stood on the rooftop, gazing at the desolate and bleak scenery in the distance.

Hela's heart grew even more complicated.

White Vulture: "Don't worry, I'm just a mercenary. I have no hostility towards you and Prince Rhine. Speaking of which, the scenery here is quite terrible, isn't it?"

White Vulture walked up to Hela's side and said with a smile, "This is the sacred land of the dwarves, and also the richest gold vein in the mortal world. The Golden Dwarves of the past used mysterious alchemy beyond our understanding to transform the life force of the earth into tangible gold, burying it layer by layer deep underground. They were making long preparations for the ultimate ritual of their covenant with the Gods—until their kingdom perished and their race became extinct."

White Vulture asked with a laugh, "What do you think those Golden Dwarves were trying to do?"

White Vulture disarmed herself completely, removing all combat blessings from her body—she was showing Hela through her actions that she wasn't here to fight.

And Hela knew this.

However, regarding White Vulture's question, Hela was completely indifferent: "Does it matter?"

White Vulture chuckled and retorted, "Doesn't it? Speaking of which, I heard you're quite fond of gold. Why didn't you take advantage of the chaos last night to grab some?"

Yeah...

The Hela of the past truly loved gold.

In fact, even Hela herself was a little surprised. Last night, the Golden Land had erupted in chaos, and over a dozen gold vaults were blown open by the dwarf miners. The gold inside was looted and emptied.

Wasn't this exactly the kind of thing Hela would enjoy the most?

Using spatial teleportation to steal the gold from the Golden Land, and then pinning all the blame on the rioting dwarves.

She could have made a fortune without lifting a finger!

Yet, last night, Hela had simply curled up in her bed, unable to sleep all night...

Thinking of this, Hela's mood worsened!

She suddenly realized.

She was wrong.

This mercenary was here to pick a fight! She was provoking Hela, enraging Hela!!

This was a declaration of war, filled with mockery!

—You picked the wrong opponent, you bitch!!

With nowhere to vent her pent-up resentment, Hela's gaze turned icy. She twisted her head, about to tear open space to retrieve her weapon and start fighting immediately—

But then she saw... White Vulture's admiring gaze.

"Don't worry, of course I understand. You must be doing this for your dear Prince Rhine!"

White Vulture said admiringly, "You two really know how to play. To be honest, I just wanted to ask about Prince Rhine. After all, I see you two have such a good relationship."

White Vulture's face was full of admiration: "[Self-restraint]"

Huh?

What?

Uh... uh...

This woman... understood it like that?

Hela's smile became awkward and subtle, unsure how to respond.

White Vulture tilted her head. Seeing Hela's strange expression, she suddenly thought of a possibility and realized with a "eureka" moment:

"So that's how it is. Did I perhaps overthink things?! So you were actually just simply excluded from next door—"

A scythe radiating terrifying killing intent instantly appeared at White Vulture's neck.

Hela: "No."

White Vulture: "Ah, uh..."

Hela: "No."

White Vulture: "Okay, okay, I understand. Miss Hela, I have no intention of being your enemy. You, you can put your weapon down first..."

Hela: "I said, no."

White Vulture: "Big sis, please let me go..."

Hela: "No."

White Vulture: "Big sis, please let me go..."

61: Hela: Tonight, we pop champagne!

Because she had said the wrong thing, White Vulture narrowly escaped being hacked to death by Hela.

After making a clumsy escape from Hela's grasp, White Vulture also obtained the information she was satisfied with.

Actually, White Vulture had been a bit curious. Didn't the Imperial Guard of Hain have a tradition of virginity? How did Hela get involved with her Prince?

After some probing, White Vulture finally understood... So that's how it was.

LMAO, Such a tragic Imperial Guard!

A pitiful Daughter of Order, bound by the ironclad rules set by her Mother Goddess, unable to cross the forbidden line even if she had someone she cherished.

However, White Vulture doesn't believe in Order!

As a cursed race that formed its own faction, the Demon Sword Sisterhood has no faith and no gods. The Azalea Secret Ritual, which brought them new life, is their everything.

White Vulture knows Rhine Hyun's secret. She knows Rhine Hyun's visit to the Golden Land is far from a simple greeting or loan.

This person...

He just obtained the supreme holy artifact that even dwarves have coveted for millennia—New Single-Handed Sword 01!

Therefore, his visit to the Golden Land, even his killing of Goldsmith and causing the Golden Land's loss of control and chaos—it must all be to facilitate him taking the Golden Land's secret treasures for himself!

Very good!

Since Rhine Hyun wants to open the Golden Land, White Vulture will help him open it!

Of course, this will also require the dear Prince to pay White Vulture a little something for her labor...

Slurp.

White Vulture licked her lips.

Just thinking of Rhine made her mouth water with desire!

Knock, knock, knock.

"Your Highness? Prince Rhine?"

White Vulture knocked on Rhine's door.

Soon, Rhine Hyun opened the door and appeared before White Vulture.
