Chapter 17: Transaction Between the Imperial Guards



Chapter 17: Transaction Between the Imperial Guards

After bidding farewell to Rayne, Constance noticed that there were no Imperial Guards guarding the Church. Thereafter, she prepared to return to the Church and continue with her daily prayer ceremony.

However, she stopped halfway.

That was because she had noticed the meeting between Rayne and Hela.

The area of the palace was too cramped for the Imperial Guards and Constance could clearly hear the conversation between Rayne and Hela.

Hela seemed like she wanted something from Prince Rayne.

However, for some reason, Hela failed.

Hela was not someone who would give up on benefits.

Constance was sure Hela would definitely come looking for her soon.

Indeed.

A dimensional tear appeared in front of Constance and the coquettish black-haired beauty walked out with a smile.

Hela beckoned to Constance with a bright smile. "Thea, are you free this afternoon? Do you want to have tea together?"

In the garden of the palace, Constance and Hela sat under a pavilion, sipping afternoon tea.

Thea and Hela, the two stunning beauties, decorated the sea of flowers behind them with their bodies, forming a wonderful scenery.

However, this was a beautiful scenery that no one dared to admire.

Hela said, "Speaking of which, I actually saw you working for Prince Rayne today?"

Constance replied indifferently, "He's the future Emperor."

The future Emperor…

Yes, Rayne was indeed the successor to the throne in theory.

Unfortunately, this prince did not know that governing a country was not as simple as sleeping with someone's wife.

.

Hela asked curiously, "Thea, do you really believe that guy can be the Emperor?"

Constance nodded gently. "Yes, I believe so."

Constance's tone was sincere.

She was speaking from the bottom of her heart…

"Thea, it's not wise to take sides so early,"

Hela was a little helpless. "The fight for power in the royal family has nothing to do with us. Thea, the Imperial Guards never need to get involved in this mess. Although you are indebted to Prince Rayne, there's no need for you to… forget it, let's not talk about him anymore."

At the mention of Rayne, Hela could not help but recall that handsome back view. She could not help but feel her mind go into chaos once more.

Hela shook her head gently and avoided the topic of Rayne, getting straight to the point.

"Thea, you know what I'm here for."

Constance replied, "Yes, I know."

In reality, there was nothing much to talk about between the two Imperial Guards.

As an Imperial Guard, Constance's perception could also cover the entire city. Furthermore, she was very clear about her sister's capabilities and her character.

Although Hela knew about those things, Constance knew that Hela knew about them.

Similarly, Hela knew that Constance knew that she knew about them.

In any case…

With a single look, the two sisters understood each other's thoughts.

Constance said, "I understand. As long as you're willing to shut up, I'll give you a satisfactory price."

"That'll be the best!"

Hela smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, Thea. Although we're sisters, we still have to be clear about some things."

Constance nodded. "I know."

Greed was the nature of the Imperial Guards. However, each of them had different hobbies.

Due to her unique combat style, Hela loved practical equipment and items the most.

Although she loved to accumulate wealth, in the end, the gold coins she obtained would also be used to purchase equipment.

Since that was the case, there was no need for Constance to beat around the bush.

As a fellow Imperial Guard, she had something on her right then that Hela was interested in.

After a moment of silence, she removed her necklace and handed it to Hela.

"This should be something you need."

"Mmm…"

Pondering for a moment, Hela shook her head. "Thea, you know that this is a serious matter. I'm taking a huge risk to hide it for you guys."

She was not satisfied with Constance's offer.

Constance asked calmly, "What do you want then?"

Hela said shyly, "How about your sword?"

Sword…

Constance touched the sword on her waist.

A conflicted expression appeared on her face.

"This price is way too high for me."

As a thousand-year-old Empire, the Haines Empire had a strong foundation and countless items that were compatible with the strength of demigods.

However, high-end equipment was always scarce.

For example, Constance's sword.

Ever since the Crystal Goddess Order ascended to the position of a Main God, the silver-white crystals created by the goddess had the ability to appraise the grade of magical derivatives and measure them uniformly for the mortal world.

These magical derivatives included high-level warriors who could gradually transform themselves into magical beings through training.

At the same time, magical weapons and items were included.

The division of quality was extremely simple and plain. The five colors reflected by the silver-white crystals—white, green, blue, purple and gold—were enough to encompass all non-living magical creations in the mortal world.

A golden weapon was already the highest quality weapon that could be found in the mortal world. Even as an Imperial Guard, she only had this single sword that was of golden quality.

Hela's asking price was extremely high.

However, Constance could not blame her for it either.

Constance and Rayne made a deal with the Dragon of Lust privately. It was not impossible for the Goddess of Order to kill them on the spot with her crystal spear for such a disobedience.

This was extremely troublesome for Constance.

For Rayne, it was even fatal.

Nobody in the palace was willing to cause trouble for the Imperial Guards.

However, there were many ambitious people who coveted the crystal throne and wanted to replace the prince.

Constance knew very well that Hela would have done this transaction with anyone. Given this woman's temper, it was already considered kind of her to be willing to look for Constance first.

However, to her surprise…

Hela was even kinder than she had imagined!

"Forget it, I know that you're not rich with equipment. How about this? I don't want your sword anymore."

Hela shrugged.

"Then I'll have to ask Edaline for money. She's the younger sister of Prince Rayne. She should be happy to spend money to resolve some troubles for her brother, right?"

"Forget it, that's going to cost a life." Sigh… Constance felt a little helpless.

Eventually, she gave up in exasperation.

Constance removed the mithril ceremonial sword that was refined from a dragon's soul from her waist and placed it on the table.

"Take it."
