Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 29: Initially, I Wanted to Refuse, but His Highness Gave Too Much

If the prince were to suddenly die one day, regardless of the cause, Hela would know that it was the grand prince's doing.

Furthermore, she could conclude that everything Rayne said was true.

At that time, the grand prince would be in an extremely dangerous situation.

Although the Imperial Guards were not interested in the morals of the mortal world, they still had to abide by the ironclad rules written in the edict.

The Imperial Guards were happy to watch the internal strife within the royal family.

However, once the royal family committed treason, the Imperial Guards would no longer be standing by the sidelines.

The grand prince was spared by the prince.

However, he was now in a desperate situation.

The prince had a hold on him but there was nothing he could do about it.

Before the fight for the throne even began, the grand prince had already lost half of it.

Of course.

Right now, there was also someone who could reverse this adversity.

It was still Hela.

That was because Hela also knew a secret that belonged to the prince.

Similar to the grand prince, the prince had also committed a crime that violated the ironclad laws of Order.

The prince colluded with the evil dragon and even received her blessing openly.

If Hela was willing to tell the grand prince about this, he would be able to turn the tides and return to the same starting line as the prince.

If they both had a hold on one another, it would be equivalent to nothing.

Hela thought to herself…

The actions of the prince and grand prince had seemingly allowed her to be the greatest victor to reap the rewards.

In that case, what should she do?

Right now, in the dimensional rift, the three little big shots were bewitched by Rayne's sugar-coated shells.

As demigod puppets, the few of them had less tolerance towards the corrosion of the Nether Realm than the actual Imperial Guards to begin with. As such, they were even more affected by the prince's bewitchment.

The three puppet girls were delighted just by the prince mentioning their names accurately.

If Hela chose to work with the grand prince to deal with Rayne, the three little big shots might just bring down the entire house.

However, the problem was…

If Hela wanted to side with the prince, was he able to offer a deal that could meet her demands?

"Your Excellency Hela,"

At this moment, Rayne's voice woke up Hela who was deep in thought.

He smiled at Hela. "Just like my uncle, I actually have a gift for you as well."

"Oh?"

Hela raised her brow. "Your Highness, you're going to be generous for once as well?"

Rayne nodded. "We'll talk as we walk."

He led Hela towards the palace.

"Lady Hela, you know that compared to my uncle, I'm not considered rich. I'm afraid I won't be able to produce any treasures that satisfy you either."

Rayne said, "Therefore, I intend to do the same as my uncle and offer you something I obtained from others."

"You're too kind, Your Highness. So, what are you intending to give me?"

At this moment, Hela did not take Rayne's gift too seriously.

She did not think that Rayne could offer anything more tempting than a cave of gold.

However, it did not matter. As long as the prince could ensure that she did not suffer losses, she did not mind being more biased towards the prince in the political fights in the palace in the future.

She couldn't help it—her children preferred this man.

However…

What the prince said next nearly caused Hela to explode on the spot.

"Let's talk about this in private. Well, you know that I made a deal with the evil dragon, Olivia. After that, I convinced her yesterday to help me remove the immortality of an ancient dragon."

Rayne chuckled and asked, "Lady Hela, are you interested in hunting an ancient dragon with me? I only want two of the treasures obtained after the deed is done. The rest are all yours."

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, Hela stood stiffly on the spot and spat out a mouthful of blood.

By now, she had gone completely numb.
