Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 42: The Strongest Demigod of the Elves

After bidding farewell to Mr. Rayne, Alice sat on the bed dejectedly for a long time.

"Mr. Rayne…"

Finally, she hugged the blanket and sniffed the remnant scent of Mr. Rayne on it as her exhausted body slowly fell into slumber.

"Alice, wake up! Alice!"

After a long time, the soundly asleep Alice was awakened by her boss's voice.

Alice opened her sleepy eyes and saw her boss sweating profusely, calling her name with a trembling voice.

"Alice, wake up. An important figure… wants to see you…"

An important figure?

Alice asked vaguely, "Am I to serve a customer? But I'm so tired…"

"Alice, stop fooling around!"

The boss yanked Alice out of bed. "Hurry and wash your face and change your clothes! When you see that important figure later on, you have to be respectful! Answer all her questions without adding anything unnecessary! Do you understand?!"

After washing up briefly, Alice changed her clothes and walked out of the suite to the hall where guests were gathered.

However, the moment Alice entered the hall…

She who was so sleepy that she could not open her eyes a moment ago jolted awake instantly.

The hall today was unusually quiet.

Miss Alice, which was usually lively and loud, was dead silent today.

Although it was filled with customers, their heads were lowered and none of them dared to move or leave their seats.

In the entire dance hall, only one seat in the corner exuded an extremely strong sense of existence that almost felt like a threat!

Alice looked over blankly.

A stunning silver-haired beauty that resembled a goddess was chewing a piece of bread expressionlessly.

A piece of bread and a cup of water.

That was her lunch order.

The silver-haired beauty possessed a godlike charm. However, for some reason, she looked… extremely haggard.

Her purple eyes were a little cloudy and her lowered gaze was filled with fatigue—there was also a layer of darkness that could not be dispelled on her proud and independent figure.

The boss secretly pointed to the silver-haired woman. "That's the important figure. She wants to see you."

Alice walked forward and looked at the silver-haired woman. "May I know who you are…"

"Hello, Alice,"

The silver-haired woman spoke, "I'm the Great Teacher of White Light Courtyard, Elktela Lucia."

"G-Great Teacher?!"

When she heard that shocking name, Alice's heart nearly skipped a beat!

After the intense shock, she finally understood what was going on with the dead silence.

What appeared in front of Alice… was the strongest demigod who had once annihilated and assimilated a quasigod singlehandedly. In the darkest era of Leta, she singlehandedly maintained the elemental ley lines of Leta such that it did not deteriorate for a full ten years.

The legendary Great Teacher of the White Light Courtyard, Elktela Lucia!

In the entire Leta, the commoners might not know the name of the current regent, but they would definitely be familiar with the deeds of this Great Teacher.

"Great Teacher…"

Alice said carefully, "How can I help you...?"

The Great Teacher asked, "Alice, do you know who your parents are?"

Alice shook her head and replied truthfully, "I'm an abandoned infant. My boss picked me up and raised me since I was young."

"Your father is the second son of the Fremont family in the palace. Your mother is the daughter of the previous regent. Unfortunately, they were the losers in a political battle. Knowing that they were in danger, they entrusted you to a family while escaping. Later on, you were moved here."

Alice was dumbfounded. How did the legendary Great Teacher of White Light know so much about her background?!

The Great Teacher asked, "Are you surprised?"

"A little…"

"I merely did some homework before coming to look for you."

The Great Teacher said, "Alice, I need you to follow me now. I'll explain the exact situation to you along the way."

"I understand."

The dazed Alice nodded still.

At that moment, she was filled with confusion and did not know what had happened. Why did the Great Teacher know about her background? Furthermore, why did her background sound a little powerful?!

However, how could Alice reject her?

The other party was thatGreat Teacher…

The Great Teacher finished the remaining bread in no time. "Right, boss."

The boss who was waiting at the side asked respectfully, "Is there anything else, Great Teacher?"

"Hand me the quasigod residue in your collection. That's not something you should have."

The boss said immediately, "I'll get it for you right away!"

When the Great Teacher arrived, the boss already knew that there was no way she could retain that residue.

She respectfully handed the clay jar containing the residue of the quasigod to the Great Teacher.

The Great Teacher said, "I'll get someone to pay you in two days."

With that said, she looked at the clay jar.

When the clay jar was opened, the ore worm within hissed excitedly at the Great Teacher.

In reality, as long as one observed carefully, they would discover that the materials used to make the worm were not ordinary ores.

It was rusted mithril.

"Also…"

At that moment, the Great Teacher said to Alice, "You work here?"

Alice nodded.

"This is a scandal. Don't mention it again from now on."

Alice smiled bitterly. "But everyone here knows that I'm a prostitute. Even if I don't mention it…"

"They'll forget."

"Huh?"

With that said, the Great Teacher rapped her knuckles gently on the clay jar.

Psst!

Instantly, the worm in the jar let out an ear-piercing screech that reverberated through the entire dance hall… no, the entire town!

When the hissing of the worm stopped and everyone in the dance hall looked at Alice again, there was only unfamiliarity and amazement in their eyes.

It was as though they had forgotten about Alice and were merely looking at an unfamiliar elven girl who was as beautiful as a goddess.

Alice was shocked. She looked at the foreign gazes around her and a sense of panic rose in her heart. "Great Teacher, what have you done?!"

"I let this thing eat their memories,"

As the Great Teacher spoke, the residue worm turned into a pool of mithril that flowed into her body.

The Great Teacher walked out the door. "It's time to leave, Alice."

…

Leta's Great Teacher of White Light erased the memories of everyone in the town about Alice.

Thereafter, she took Alice away.

The Great Teacher did not use teleportation to return to the palace directly.

For Alice, the burden of teleportation was too great for her to endure.

That was fine.

Since the candidate for the new Moon Queen was already decided, it did not matter if they spent more time on the return journey.

Furthermore, the Great Teacher could use the journey back to the capital to test and teach this new Moon Queen.

On the other side, Alice was troubled.

She had embarked on this journey out of nowhere and had no idea what was waiting for her.

However, at the very least, she knew that her fate had already undergone a tremendous change.

"Speaking of which, Great Teacher…"

Suddenly, Alice asked, "Have you heard of the name Rayne?"

The Great Teacher replied, "There are many people named Rayne. However, there's only one Rayne that you and I have to pay attention to, the prince of the Haines Empire, Rayne Haines.

"How old is Rayne Haines?"

"19, why are you asking this?"

"Nothing much, I merely heard a customer mention him today,"

Alice replied with a grin, but she was extremely shocked internally.

After all, the Mr. Rayne who had doted on her the previous night... looked to be a young man around 19 years old as well!

The Great Teacher said, "I don't know what your impression of the Haines Empire is, but you have to be clear about one thing. The blood feud between Leta and Haines is irreconcilable. From now on, the Haines Empire will be your enemy and Rayne Haines will be a mortal enemy that you and I have to get rid of. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

Alice nodded solemnly.

She understood.

Rayne Haines, the prince of the Empire… was not her enemy!

If Alice had any feelings for His Highness Rayne, it was not hatred. Instead, it was love!

The feud between the countries had nothing to do with Alice—she was merely an ordinary elf who had nothing to her apart from her bloodline.

Therefore, even if he was the prince of an enemy country, in Alice's heart, there would always be a spot for her beloved Mr. Rayne.

Suddenly, the Great Teacher looked over. "What did you just say?"

"Huh?!"

Alice was a little stunned. She had not said anything just now.

The Great Teacher asked coldly, "I mean, what were you thinking about just now?"

Alice's expression changed drastically as she explained desperately, "I was thinking about how that damned Rayne Haines will be torn into pieces by us sooner or later! He's a scum! He deserves a terrible death!"

"…"

The Great Teacher glanced at Alice coldly and did not waste her breath, continuing on her way.

Sigh…

She sighed internally.

This new Moon Queen... seems worrisome.
