Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 178: That Day, All the Demigods in the Capital Received Their Happiness

In the capital of Haines.

After bidding farewell to Hela, Rayne prepared to head to his next destination.

Heavenly Kingdom Dawn.

As the prince, Rayne naturally needed a legitimate reason to visit foreign countries. Therefore, Rayne had long asked the Empress to send an imperial edict for him and inform Dawn.

Right now, the High Elves should have long been prepared to welcome Rayne.

Just as he was about to set off, Rayne invited Edaline who activated the teleportation spell to Dawn for him.

There was no need for Rayne to visit Edaline. As long as he called out to his sister through the air, a dimensional rift would open immediately and Edaline would appear before him.

Edaline had a strange expression today.

She looked at her brother with a subtle gaze. In the past few days, Hela's laughably weak blocking magic did not hinder her observation at all. She said bitterly, "You're finally ready to head out?"

Rayne asked with concern, "Why don't you seem happy today? Could it be that you can't bear to part with me because you know that I'm leaving?"

"Hmph, it's not as though you came to visit me even when you were staying at home? All you do is stick with Hela all the time shamelessly…"

Edaline grumbled, "Really now... Can you not have those puppets call you Big Brother? It sounds extremely weird..."

Rayne looked troubled when he heard that. "… Little Eda, you're really strict."

Edaline blushed. "Y-You're blaming me?!"

Thereafter, the shy Edaline harrumphed and returned to the main topic hurriedly.

Edaline said, "So… you really don't need me to accompany you to Dawn this time round?"

Rayne nodded and said seriously, "Your body still needs to rest. Stay in the capital and continue recuperating."

However, Edaline was not satisfied with that answer.

"My combat strength has already recovered and I can help you completely. The reason why you're unwilling to bring me along is because I'll interfere with you flirting with women, right?"

Rayne said helplessly, "Little Eda, don't think that way…"

This was the first time Rayne had successfully carried out this divinity division operation for Edaline after so many reincarnations.

He was more or less certain that Edaline had almost recovered and would be fine.

However, the excessive caution in Rayne's heart made him want to have Edaline stay in the capital and recuperate in peace until she recovered completely.

Rayne stared at Edaline. "Little Eda, you know that you're my sister and I love you very much."

Edaline was at a loss. "Why are you suddenly saying that…"

Rayne said sincerely, "Little Eda, do you know what your body just experienced? You were originally a vessel of Goddess Order. However, after the surgery, you've now become an independent divinity existence. You're basically a newborn god. This phenomenon is extremely rare in the mortal world and there are too few examples to take reference from. I've never had such an experience before. I'm really afraid that our efforts will be in vain and I'll still lose you in the end. Therefore, I don't want anything to happen to you. I hope that you can recuperate in the most suitable environment until you recover completely…"

Edaline sighed. "I-I understand… After saying so much, aren't you just worrying for nothing? I'm clearly fine, yet you're still scaring yourself."

However, Edaline could no longer refute Rayne after all he said.

Edaline stood on her tiptoes and kissed Rayne on the cheek reluctantly.

"Don't worry, I have teleportation magic. I can go to Dawn to protect you at will. When you go there, I'll monitor your physical condition and wait for your summons. I won't let anyone hurt you even if I have to risk my life. Therefore, the next time you come back, you have to take more time to accompany me… Big Brother."

Edaline activated a teleportation spell for Rayne.

A deep and pitch-black rift appeared out of thin air. Inside the rift, the fluorescence of various other dimensional native beings refracted thousands of blurry lights between the dimensional rifts.

She watched Rayne walk into the dimensional rift.

Edaline sighed with a disappointed expression…

Although she had already promised Rayne, she still wanted to be with her brother as much as possible.

The disappearance of the curse of the crystal throne finally dispelled the conflict between the siblings.

Now, Edaline could finally get close to Rayne legitimately and enjoy her brother's love.

Once her sick leave was over, she would have to resolve the dangers all over the world like before. As the situation in the mortal world became more and more turbulent, what awaited her in the future would be endless overtime. It would probably be difficult for her to have a chance to stay by Rayne's side for a long time.

Edaline felt a little regretful.

When she was negotiating with Rayne just now, should she have… been more determined?

Right then.

Suddenly, a hand popped out of the dimensional rift that was gradually healing and grabbed Edaline's wrist.

It was Rayne.

Edaline was a little surprised, but it was mostly a pleasant surprise. She asked curiously, "Rayne? What are you doing back here?!"

Rayne smiled. "I'm sorry, Little Eda. I just thought about it. Although you need to recuperate in your current situation, a peaceful living environment will only reduce the probability of accidents. However, if an accident really does happen to you, it's still safer to have someone who knows what to do by your side. Little Eda, you'd better come with me."

Edaline was overjoyed. She shattered the space happily and held Rayne's hand tightly as she followed her brother into the teleportation passage.

"Hmph, you should have figured out such a simple logic long ago!"

…

At the same time, in Constance's Church dormitory.

"F*ck, this guy is a true b*stard for real. Boss, aren't you going to f*ck him up?!"

After Obadiah and Doherty shared their perceptions and watched the entire interaction between Rayne and Edaline, they were extremely emotional and stomped their feet in anger.

"This scumbag made a trip home and had Hela bend over for him all day long. Before he left, he even brought his sister with him. In the end, among all the Imperial Guards at home, you're the only one he ignored!"

Obadiah felt nothing but fury towards the tragic fate of his mistress!

"Monitor the physical condition of that scumbag and be prepared to appear to his summons and protect him at any moment? That's clearly something that my mistress has been doing all along! Now, that little piece of trash is taking credit for it. She's simply disregarding my mistress!"

However, when the indignant Obadiah looked at Constance…

He realized that… Constance was still as calm as ever.

At the side, Doherty, in a clone that she sent to Constance while guarding the golden warship, was the same as Constance—she was calm and peaceful.

Obadiah was extremely surprised. "Mistress, aren't you going to say anything?"

Constance said, "This is nothing. Hela is His Highness's lover and it's normal for them to be intimate. As for Edaline, she's His Highness's trusted sister. Furthermore, she's one of the strongest demigods. It's naturally the best choice to bring her along."

Constance had no complaints about Rayne's actions.

Long before Obadiah arrived and Hela and Rayne fell in love...

Rayne was already a pirate king who had conquered countless women.

In order to protect Rayne's safety, the observation technique that Constance left on Rayne recorded the sound of his pounding heart each time he was engaged in vigorous activities.

Constance was already used to all of this.

The only difference was that now, Rayne's partners in beds had changed from those stranger noble ladies to... her sisters.

"His Highness did not do anything wrong. Furthermore…"

Constance said gently, "Obadiah… His Highness did not neglect me. Look, he gave me a gift."

With that said, Constance walked to the only small bookcase in her shabby room.

She opened the bookcase and in an incomparably precious manner, retrieved a pastry recipe and some special condiments from within.

After Rayne heard that Constance was learning how to cook, he took advantage of the opportunity when he returned home this time round to give her this gift.

It was a recipe with a strange content and a completely different style from the eating habits of Haines.

Constance did not know where Rayne obtained this recipe either. However, she liked the taste of the end product after she attempted it.

Furthermore, the most precious thing was that Rayne wrote this recipe personally!

The tone of the book was completely Rayne's style. Looking at the recipe, Constance felt as though Rayne was by her side, teaching her every step of making a perfect dessert patiently.

In addition, Constance also noticed that the material used for the recipe were paper-based spell conductors.

Doherty's clone looked at the recipe and lamented, "My mistress, for mortals, using magic conductors to carve words requires a huge amount of magic power and mental strength. Although that mortal prince is extremely intelligent, his talent in spells is terrible. He must have spent a lot of effort on these 40 pages of the recipe."

Naturally, Constance understood that logic.

Constance silently hugged the recipe in her arms, as though she was hugging her unwavering lover.

"Yes, I know…"

At the side, Obadiah stared at the recipe and could not help but break out in cold sweat.

It seemed like his mistress really liked this gift that Rayne had 'carefully' prepared!

B-But...

His mistress and Doherty seemed to have misunderstood Rayne's efficiency in writing with spell conductors.

Obadiah made a decision.

He decided not to tell his mistress about the mountains of spell conductors waiting to be burned like firewood he saw in Rayne's study back in Leta...
