Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 28: Bad Prince

Rayne found evidence of the grand prince colluding with external enemies and even invited Imperial Guard Hela to use teleportation to retrieve more evidence of the grand prince's crimes.

The grand prince was stunned.

Due to his fear and nervousness, his mind went blank in the face of this extremely dangerous situation and he could not think of any countermeasures.

The atmosphere in the study became extremely tense.

The grand prince could not believe that his ending would come so suddenly. In the blink of an eye, he went from being a schemer behind the scenes to being dragged into the open by Rayne and beaten up viciously!

If Rayne were to produce more evidence, the grand prince would be finished.

Colluding with external enemies was not a small matter.

Depending on the evidence found by Rayne, the most tragic outcome might be for the Church to step in with the crime of blasphemy. They would nail the grand prince to a crystal pillar and drain his divine blood before burning him to death!

At this moment, Hela's puppet daughters readily agreed to the prince's request and waited for him to report the coordinates.

It was as though tragedy was predestined.

The journey of the grand prince would come to an end today.

However…

Right then, the strangest turn of events happened.

Rayne was about to speak when he suddenly recalled something.

He looked at the IOU in his hands and sized it up, frowning sternly.

Thereafter, he crumpled the IOU into a ball and tossed it casually.

"I was wrong. This IOU is fake. Sorry for disturbing you, uncle,"

With that said, Rayne left the grand prince's residence right away.

There was no hesitation at all.

Fake…?

The grand prince was dumbfounded and his heart skipped a beat.

That IOU was clearly authentic!

The crisis that had appeared suddenly was resolved instantly as well.

Now that Rayne was gone, no one would expose him anymore. This made the grand prince heave a deep sigh of relief.

However, after a moment of relaxation, a chill enveloped the grand prince.

Fear struck him continuously and even seeped into his bones…

The grand prince clenched his fists and grit his teeth. "Rayne… what are you trying to do?!"

…

After leaving the grand prince's residence, Rayne walked to a quiet place.

Rayne asked, "Your Excellency Hela?"

The moment he said that, a dimensional rift opened up and Hela came to Rayne's side with a smile.

Hela asked, "Is there anything, Your Highness?"

Rayne smiled. "Sort of."

After Rayne left, Hela did not linger at the grand prince's place and bid farewell as well.

Regarding the outcome of Rayne's stand-off with the grand prince, be it Hela or the puppets, neither was surprised.

Prince Rayne merely did something that was even more common than eating and drinking for their mother.

Catching hold of someone's weakness and blackmailing them thereafter.

It was clear that Prince Rayne had long known about the grand prince colluding with Gold Village.

Collecting information was an ability.

However, how to make good use of information was an art.

Rayne's choice of timing was extremely ingenious.

It was the same as when he visited Dreamland previously.

This time round, the prince even used an Imperial Guard as his shield.

Right now, apart from the grand prince and prince, Imperial Guard Hela was included as well.

With that, the situation changed drastically.

If the prince was the only one who knew about it, the flustered grand prince might try his best to silence the prince the moment he lost his cool.

Although it was a dirty move, it was an option nevertheless.

But now, the situation had changed.

Under the watch of Hela, it was no longer realistic for the grand prince to want to silence the prince.
