Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 159.2: Thank You for Completing My Consort's Crown (2)

Once any elf found out the truth, they would only sob and tremble in despair like Sebastian.

The endless quasigods under Compassion were not something that the mortal empires could contend against no matter what!

A powerful quasigod was enough to cause Leta to face the calamity of destruction.

Not to mention a hundred or a thousand of them?!

In this world of despair, all the elves could do was… enjoy the final revelry.

"This is great! This is way too great!"

Sebastian laughed wildly.

"I'll tear apart the Haines Empire with those foolish commoners and kill everyone inside. When all my demigods are dead and I die in battle, the remaining foolish commoners will be eaten up by the quasigods. Finally, all of us would end up in that goddess's house to be livestock. Wouldn't that be good?! In any case, sooner or later, the elves would become the playthings of that evil god anyway, right?!"

Sebastian had thought things through.

Now that the truth was revealed to him, he felt a sense of clarity like never before.

All hesitation and worries no longer existed.

Now...

It was time to destroy this world!

At that moment, an unfamiliar male voice suddenly sounded.

"Sebastian."

Sebastian was shocked. "Who is it—ugh!"

Before Sebastian could finish speaking, he could not help but grunt in pain.

His chest was pierced by a mithril sword.

Sebastian's eyes widened. "W-What's going on…"

His body convulsed in pain as he turned his head with difficulty.

The Great Teacher, Elktela, was standing coldly behind him.

As for the man who spoke, he walked out of the dimensional rift and appeared in front of Sebastian.

It was a Haines person with a noble bloodline.

Sebastian knew who he was.

The prince imprisoned by the regent!

Rayne Haines!

After walking around the quasigods' lair, Sebastian was on the verge of a mental breakdown and did not notice the Great Teacher's ambush at all.

Of course, even if he noticed it, he was definitely not Elktela's match.

Sebastian spat out blood continuously. The wound that had just been stitched up by Compassion seemed to have ruptured again, causing him even more pain.

Sebastian was a wanted criminal.

He could understand why the Great Teacher wanted to kill him.

But, what was up with that man?!

"Prince of Haines, Rayne Haines… Why are you… here?!"

"To thank you."

Rayne was calm. He walked forward with a smile and took away the purified skull of Compassion from Sebastian's hands.

Thereafter, he said gently, "You did well, Sebastian."

"Thank you for completing my consort's crown."

C-Consort?!

The amount of information contained in that single word was enough to crush Sebastian's rationality completely!

What was the relationship between this Haines person and Alice?!

Suddenly, he recalled the random question that the Tragic Moon Queen suddenly asked when she was divining.

Who's Rayne Haines?

That's right.

Who was Rayne Haines?

He was the Prince of Haines. But, what else?

The strange way Rayne addressed Alice, coupled with the scene of the Great Teacher working with him right now...

Could it be that…

Rayne Haines had already controlled Leta?!

At this moment…

The final bit of asylum in Sebastian's heart was shattered.

The world betrayed Sebastian.

Immediately after, his country had also betrayed him…

Sebastian broke down completely.

He was already covered in injuries and his heart was dead.

He begged Rayne in a choked voice, "Kill me… Kill me quickly!"

"Of course I'll kill you."

Rayne said indifferently, "Speaking of which, Sebastian, you're in a bad state. Could it be that you've already seen that lair?"

Rayne asked, "What do you think?"

He continued to ask, "Are you afraid? Or are you already in despair?"

Rayne looked at Sebastian with a smile.

"This is the world you live in, Sebastian. In fact, there are many things even more terrifying and despairing than this. It's just that most people can't see them."

"Stop talking… Kill me… Kill me quickly!"

Sebastian sobbed in despair.

Rayne stared at the tearful Sebastian.

Suddenly, he felt emotional as well.

This was the first time Rayne had seen Sebastian cry.

In countless reincarnations…

There were many ways for Sebastian to die, but there had only been madness and hatred in this maniac's eyes. It was the same even until his death.

However, this was the only time that Sebastian witnessed the truth of the quasigods thanks to the prank of the Tragic Moon Queen. In the face of immense despair, he suffered a mental breakdown and wailed for death.

Sebastian was Rayne's sworn enemy.

However, this time round, it was finally going to be a complete farewell.

There was additional pity in Rayne's heart this time round. He did not know if he was pitying Sebastian or himself.

Rayne said indifferently, "Sebastian, your soul has already been snatched away by Compassion. Even if you die, you have to go to Compassion and suffer eternally. If not for your sacrifice, Her Majesty Alice would probably never ever be able to obtain such a beautiful crown. Thank you."

"With this power, Her Majesty Alice will definitely be like a tiger with wings, achieving a great feat that the previous Moonlight Queens could not."

Rayne asked, "What do you think?"

Sebastian was silent. He seemed to have calmed down a little… Perhaps, he believed Rayne's words.

The strongest imprints, the strongest crown and the most talented Moonlight Queen. Perhaps a miracle would really happen?

However, Sebastian had another question. "What… is your relationship with Alice?"

Rayne said, "She's my future wife—one of them."

Sebastian: "Rayne Haines…"

At the brink of his death, Sebastian looked up with tears streaming down his face and gritted his teeth.

"F*ck your moth—"

Before he could finish, the Great Teacher swung her sword a second time and beheaded Sebastian.

Sebastian's head rolled far away. There seemed to be a hint of peace in his angry expression…

"… Fufu."

Rayne laughed.

Indeed, I've lived for too long and I've become sentimental.

I can't even hate these former mortal enemies…

A thousand reincarnation cycles.

Come to think of it, the time Rayne had spent fighting these enemies was probably longer than the life of an ordinary old couple.

They had killed Rayne before.

Rayne had killed them many times as well.

Over a long period of time, hatred had become the most meaningless thing.

There was only one belief left that kept Rayne's fighting spirit.

With a sigh, Rayne threw the matter of Sebastian to the back of his mind.

Stepping past Sebastian's corpse, Rayne followed the Great Teacher into the dimensional rift.

The Great Teacher looked at Rayne and hesitated.

Rayne noticed the Great Teacher's abnormality. "Is there anything you want to ask?"

The Great Teacher nodded gently.

Rayne asked, "Is it about my conversation with that guy?"

The Great Teacher: "No, if you want me to know about those important things, you'll take the initiative to tell me. I know you know what you're doing."

Rayne smiled. "Thank you for your understanding."

If that was the case…

What exactly did the Great Teacher want to say?

The Great Teacher said, "I was wondering… why you're always so happy when you see others cry."

Ha…

Elktela, you…

Rayne laughed and asked, "Do you want me to make you cry tonight?"

The Great Teacher's voice was soft like a docile rabbit.

"Yes… I do."
