Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 172.2: My Son Had the Elven Empress Do What?! Impossible, Absolutely Impossible! (2)

Edaline was still indifferent. "Does it matter if I’m happy? Haven't you already recovered from your illness?"

"Child... you've never been close to me ever since you were young. You only know how to stick to that dear brother of yours as well as Heavenly Pity."

The Empress chuckled and complained. However, she did not really mind her daughter's terrible attitude.

"However, speaking of which…"

"My curse has been removed. Heavenly Pity should be able to sense it immediately. Heavenly Pity… why isn't she back yet?"

Heavenly Pity was the name of the Disciplinary Angel that was oath-bound to Cassius.

In essence, all the Disciplinary Angels were former gods that had been disassembled and formatted by Order.

Their birth was similar to that of quasigods. However, because they were blessed and protected by Order, they were generally stronger than quasigods.

These Disciplinary Angels did not have souls to begin with. However, when they descended to the mortal world with a mission, in order to facilitate the execution of the mission, they would obtain an incomparably perfect personality from the perspective of mortal morals.

They were either the most loyal lovers, the most selfless heroes or the most heroic warriors… Everything was customized according to the requirements of the mission. In the end, they would be reset upon returning to the upper God Realm and return to their original state.

As for Heavenly Pity, just like her name, she was bestowed with the virtue of mercy and loyalty.

She had a loving motherly nature and was considerate. Furthermore, she had a temperament as gentle as water. Heavenly Pity's character was that of a perfect wife and mother.

Cassius and Heavenly Pity were of the same sex and Cassius did not have any special fetishes either. Therefore, the two of them naturally could not develop a relationship as lovers.

However, the oath of divine authority customized by Order still bound them tightly together. Just like a sister, Heavenly Pity took good care of her fragile sister and carried out all of her orders loyally.

At the same time, Heavenly Pity took care of Cassius's two children meticulously and accompanied them to grow up with deep love like a caring mother.

However, everything changed ever since Cassius was cursed.

The malicious curse from Leta's demigod crushed Cassius rapidly. In order to ease Cassius's illness, Heavenly Pity took the initiative to share the corruption of the curse.

Although this reduced her strength drastically, it also allowed Cassius to barely retain a human form despite the torture of the curse.

However, Heavenly Pity, whose strength had decreased drastically, lost the right to protect Haines. Her position was quickly replaced by the next Oath Angel.

Ever since then, Heavenly Pity bid farewell to Cassius and left Haines alone to look for a way to treat the latter.

Cassius missed her angel dearly. "So… Is the reason why I'm rid of the curse now because Heavenly Pity found a way to remove it?"

Edaline: "Fufu…"

The Empress turned to look at her daughter curiously. "What's wrong, Little Eda?"

Edaline said, "Rayne saved you."

Thereafter, Edaline revealed Rayne's actions in Leta.

"Sigh, I think your curse has already corroded your brain. Your son has been missing for more than a month and you actually didn't notice anything amiss? Rayne was the one who killed that lunatic of the past for you. When he returns, you have to thank him properly!"

Of course, Cassius knew about Rayne's departure from Haines.

However, she had high hopes for Rayne since he was young. Now that Rayne had left Haines and was moving around the mortal world, there must be a reason for him to do so. As such, Cassius did not probe further.

Furthermore, Thea was constantly paying attention to Rayne's safety.

However…

Indeed, Cassius could not have imagined that Rayne could have removed the curse on the crystal throne in such a short period of time!

"Rayne, indeed, I knew that child was different…"

Cassius was extremely gratified and touched.

"However, Little Eda, didn't Sebastian, who cursed the crystal throne, already fuse into the ley lines? How did your brother do it?"

How did he do it?

Edaline did not know much about that either.

That day, she brought Obadiah to visit Rayne in a rush. Thereafter, she did not get to say much to him before the elven teachers brought her around to play.

While they were exploring everywhere, Edaline exchanged some gossip with the teachers and chatted rather happily.

However, she did not gather much information related to Sebastian.

Edaline thought for a moment. "In any case... It should have been through that Empress lover of his."

Cassius was stunned. "Empress… lover?"

Edaline said, "The new Moonlight Queen of Leta."

Cassius revealed a puzzled expression. "You mean Alice Fremont? I heard that she's about the same age as Rayne. However… one of them is the Empress of Leta and the other is the Prince of Haines. Things would definitely be irreconcilable between them the moment they meet! It's impossible for them to even get along normally as friends, let alone fall in love at all!"

Yes, they were indeed not in love.

That was because the truth was even more terrifying than the Empress could imagine.

The elven Empress, Alice, was merely a simp for Rayne with one-sided affections.

Cassius chuckled and waved her hand. "Little Eda, you must be joking with me, right? Hur hur, child, you're acting so serious even when you're joking. I can't believe you."

Edaline shrugged. "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

In any case, after calculating the time, the seven rounds of the sacred test of the Moonlight Queen should have ended and Rayne should be back soon.

When the time came, Rayne could just explain to Cassius.

However, Edaline was surprised.

Rayne returned faster than she had thought.

As they spoke...

Edaline suddenly received a report from the custodians in the underground ecosystem.

The custodians reported that the Bird's Eye Vivarium that enveloped the entire capital had sensed the invasion of an unknown divinity and had already automatically activated a spatial lockdown with the outsiders in the ecosystem to block the visit of the unknown divinity.

This was a security system that had existed since ancient times in the capital of Haines. After all, Haines was way too eye-catching and had long become the target of public criticism in the mortal world. If the capital did not have any decent protective measures, wouldn't it be possible for some reckless demigod to come looking for trouble at any moment?

However, considering the current situation…

The foreign divinity that was about to arrive in the capital should not be from an enemy.

Edaline thought for a moment. "Let them in…"

When Cassius saw that, she asked curiously, "Little Eda, what's going on?"

Edaline smiled faintly. "Your son has brought his woman here to see you."

The next moment, a dimensional rift opened in front of the Empress's chamber.

A dazzling divine light burst forth from the dimensional rift in a resplendent manner.

It was an extremely strong reaction to divinity.

If the divinity of an ordinary demigod was compared to a candle in the darkness…

The divinity that Cassius was observing right now was like a raging fire blazing through the night!

Cassius had only seen such a reaction from one person.

Histia!

However, as the visitor walked out of the dimensional rift…

Cassius realized that it was not Histia.

Instead, it was a breathtakingly beautiful golden-haired girl.

The exquisite and beautiful silver-white tattoos on her body had already silently revealed her identity.

The Empress of Leta, the Moonlight Queen!

She was a transcendent existence that surpassed ordinary demigods. This was a top-notch threat that Haines could only handle by sending out an Oath Angel in the past!

However, right now, this formidable opponent of Haines, the new Empress of Leta, was holding the arm of a young man intimately!

This was way too ridiculous!

The proud Moonlight Queen actually had a male companion?!

However, what was even more ridiculous was that…

The man who made the Moonlight Queen snuggle in his embrace like a little girl… was her good son, Rayne Haines!!!

Cassius was dumbfounded and shocked.

Rayne smiled at the Empress and said respectfully, "Mother, I'm back."

However, Cassius did not respond to Rayne.

She was silent.

After an unknown period of time, her trembling voice sounded slowly.

"Little Eda."

"What?"

Cassius's face was filled with panic. "Quick, slap me. I feel like my curse has already invaded my brain… I'm actually seeing a hallucination!"
