Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 15: Quasigod



Chapter 15: Quasigod

There was a secret in the capital.

The omnipotent Imperial Guards could use surveillance magic to its limits such that the entire capital was under the surveillance of this group of demigods 24 hours a day.

Be it the commoners or even the Empress, theoretically, everyone was always under their watch.

It was as though the Crystal Goddess was looking down at the mortal world from the heavens.

Her daughters could also see through the mortal world with ease and control the entire situation.

The officials of Haines were basically well aware of this.

However, when one was locked on by these demigods despite the vast amount of complicated information flowing through…

That fear was still enough to make one shudder.

Nothing good would come out of being visited by the Imperial Guards.

Among the current Imperial Guards, Hela's bloodline was ranked third in purity.

She fit the stereotype of the Imperial Guards in the eyes of ordinary people.

Beautiful, powerful, greedy, cold-blooded and perverted…

Against Hela, the two guilty civil officials lowered their heads hurriedly, leaving only fear in their hearts.

As for Hela, she seemed to be in a good mood with a friendly smile on her face.

"What's wrong? You're not talking?"

The two civil officials shuddered.

Due to the high purity of her bloodline of the goddess, the appearance of the black-haired beauty before them was naturally closer to that of a god and possessed a shocking charm that was almost divine.

Just by looking at her, one's heart would flutter.

If one was alone with her, he would definitely fall in love with her like a lunatic.

This was the magic of the gods and was a manifestation of their power to absorb faith.

With a joyful smile, her tone was light and her eyes were kind, as though she was easy to get along with…

However.

This sl*t merely loved to smile!

Be it on the battlefield or in the palace, she was an executioner drenched in blood.

Although she had killed many foreign enemies, she had persecuted many political enemies as well.

She was as brazen as she could be and was unwilling to be restrained.

In any case, nobody dared to blame her either.

"Lady Hela…"

The civil officials endured the pressure in their hearts and said truthfully.

"We just heard that Prince Rayne was bewitched by the evil dragon and went to Dreamland to fornicate with those fiends…"

Hela asked, "So, you guys intend to tell the Empress about this?"

Suddenly, the civil officials had an epiphany and asked in shock, "Lord Hela, are you already on the side of the prince?"

"No, I'm not on any sides!"

Hela chuckled. "However, think about it. Rayne Haines visited Dreamland and even activated the door to the Nether Realm to meet the evil dragon, Olivia… Don't you think that information is worth a lot of money?"

Those words were like thunder from a clear sky.

The two civil officials were so shocked that their hearts raced.

"Y-You mean to say that Prince Rayne has really gone to meet the evil dragon?!"

However, after saying that, their faces turned pale instantly.

This was bad!

The reconnaissance capabilities of the Imperial Guards were far superior to those few stinky beggars.

It was clear that Hela had obtained even more information in Dreamland!

Rayne Haines truly had something going on with the evil dragon!

If these were not rumors, this would be the biggest piece of news in the empire this year!

The two civil officials were dejected…

Information that was scarce was like invisible gold.

As for Hela, she was famous for her love of accumulating wealth.

Prince Rayne made a deal with the evil dragon—be it selling this information to the grand prince to deal with the prince or asking the prince himself for hush money, both were good deals.

Naturally, she would not allow anyone to share this business with her.

But now, because of their glib tongues, the two civil officials wanted to inform the Empress about this important piece of information by accident.

How could Hela sit by idly?

However, the information was already imprinted in their minds and could no longer be retrieved by Hela.

What else could be done?

Death then!

Instantly, the two civil officials understood and skillfully took out the poison they had prepared.

"We understand, Your Excellency Hela,"

The two civil officials knew their limits.

"We're all from the palace, we know the rules!" We're going to meet the God of Crystal now. See you in our next life!"

"Wait, wait!"

Hela stopped the two of them and asked in surprise.

"What are you guys doing? Do you think that I'm forcing you guys to commit suicide? Please, do I look like someone that violent?"

This time round, the two civil officials revealed puzzled expressions. "Erm… aren't you?"

Hela smiled brightly. "At least, not today. Have you heard of the Meredith Country? Last week, I went to patrol the Emerald Plain and scared those people out of their wits. Thereafter, they gave me a bunch of good stuff—here, take a look."

Hela tore open the space with ease and took out a clay jar.

She opened the clay jar.

There was a crystalline ore worm within.

Hela introduced excitedly, "This little fellow is known locally as Priestley. He's the residue of an elf quasigod and can be considered as a treasure amongst treasures!"

"Ha…"

The two civil officials were confused. They knew that Hela's greatest hobby was collecting high-end equipment from all over the mortal world.

It was clear that she had obtained another spoil of war that satisfied her during her expedition—that was also the reason why she was in a good mood today.

However, why was she taking that thing out now?

Was she intending to use this worm to deal with them?

Hela said, "Its function is to devour the souls of living beings. It can be used now."

The two civil officials were about to cry.

Tsk!

That was the bloody case indeed!

However, Hela consoled them, "Don't be afraid. This guy's lethality is very random. If you're just bitten gently by it, you'll only lose a few days of memories if you're lucky. Don't you think that this is very suitable for the current situation?"

The civil servants asked weakly, "… And if we're unlucky?"

Hela smiled and did not say anything.

The civil officials trembled.

Quasigods… those were ferocious and terrifying monsters. If they did not only target elves, they would be an ultimate nightmare that was even more terrifying than the demigods were for humans.

As for this worm…

It was a part of a quasigod's body.

Compared to being bitten by this thing, the civil officials would rather choose the poison that was effective and painless.

"How about just letting us die..."

"Hahahahaha!"

Hela burst into laughter before retracting her smile.

"No."

The ore worm's body turned scorching hot before a series of wails could be heard. Finally, with a flash of light, the conversation prior was lost eternally.

Thereafter, Hela tore open the space once more. However, she did not return to the Church to continue praying. Instead, she skipped work and went home.

"Alright, time to think about it carefully. To think that our beloved prince would make a deal with the evil dragon… How should I make use of such interesting information?"
