Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

However, at the moment, the silver-white tattoo on Alice's chest remained silent and gave no response. Only a few tiny wisps of light flickered feebly, making a weak protest.

Rhine began to sort out Alice's clothes just like yesterday.

"Alice, you've stayed here too long, go back first."

"His Highness is too much. As soon as his talent shows up, he is eager to drive people away..."

However, Alice held Rhine's arm with a look full of attachment and refused to leave. She also pretended to be aggrieved and acted coquettishly towards Rhine.

Lain asked helplessly: "I'm not chasing you away, but I'm asking you, did you tell the Grand Master when you came? Without her assistance, what if your whereabouts are exposed? For you now, but At the most critical moment, the old hatred between Leta and Hein will not disappear. If our relationship is exposed now, it will greatly affect your coronation as Moonlight King."

Alice smiled: "If I can't become the Moonlight King, I will go to Haiyin and become a concubine for His Highness."

Rhine shook his head: "I will not marry a useless woman as a princess."

"Wow, that's too much~"

After a few flirtations, Alice hugged Rhine and kissed her gently. However, Alice still had her mission, so she could only leave reluctantly as Rhine said.

However……

Just when Alice was being served by Rhine, she put on the complicated royal dress one by one, spread her senses, and began to investigate the paths around the study.

"ah……"

Suddenly, Alice's expression became subtle.

Without the help of the great mentor, she still overturned.

Alice was halfway through her clothes and looked at Rhine awkwardly.

"Things seem a little bad."

"What's wrong?"

"There's a...big shot coming from outside."

.

In the corridor outside the palace study, an old elf wearing a black cloak and mithril armor strode forward with a capable posture.

Regent, Hamilton.

As the current highest authority in Leita, it was he who ordered the imprisonment of Rhine Hein.

Cooperating with the Hein people would be a great shame for the regent.

However, the skull of the Goddess of Compassion was the treasure he wanted to get no matter what.

original,

The regent planned to slowly deal with Edgeworth, Prince of Heine.

But now, Alice has defeated the Moon Breaking King, causing his authority to almost collapse overnight.

same day. A large number of nobles bet on the Crescent King, and there were so many guests in front of the White Light Courtyard that the regent had to take immediate action.

And in order to be able to concentrate on dealing with Alice.

The regent decided to test Prince Hein first.

And when the regent Hamilton opened the door and came to Rhine.

He looked at the ruined and messy study and couldn't help but frown.

on the ground,

The Prince Regent saw a silver high heel shoe.

He understood immediately.

It seems that there were guests in this study last night.

The regent's face was expressionless: "It seems that I have disturbed His Highness?"

"Don't worry, she's gone."

Rhine Hein was sitting calmly at Moonlight King's desk with a kind smile on his face.

gone?

That's a real pity.

The regent was very unhappy. As the mastermind behind the house arrest of Rhine, he allowed Rhine to live so freely and happily in Laita. He felt like a failure.

If he knew which bitch from Laita could not control her lower body and committed adultery with the Hein people, he would definitely make her pay the price.

But, speaking of it...

This Rhine prince is also outrageous. He has only been under house arrest in the study for two days. How on earth did he hook up with a woman in the Moonlight King's palace?

This reminded the regent of the report submitted to him by his subordinates.

According to feedback from law enforcement team monitors, Rhein Hein seems to be very popular among women for unknown reasons.

It is said that the female law enforcement officers who came into contact with him were obsessed with his eyes and praised him highly.

Some female mages even reported that there seemed to be some kind of netherworld corruption in Rhine's eyes, which made him more attractive than ordinary people in the eyes of the opposite sex.

However, the regent and other men could not feel this so-called charm at all.

Therefore, the regent silently wrote down the matter, but did not make any other reaction.

He actually didn't quite believe that there was anything special about this human being.

Probably, this is just some unscrupulous and dirty tricks that this romantic and dandy prince has learned through many years of experience.

Moreover, the law enforcers... were clearly flirting with the enemy, but they still gave such high-sounding reasons. Maybe it's time to straighten out this group of losers.

Now,

The regent stared into Rhine's eyes.

No matter how he looked at these eyes, he could not feel the slightest charm from Rhine's eyes.

on the contrary,

Whenever he sees this human being, he becomes inexplicably angry.

The prince of the Haine Empire.

Rhine Hein.

The young man in front of him has always had a calm attitude since he was arrested, without any panic.

He was a little too calm...

A nineteen-year-old kid was caught by an elf who was known to be very malicious towards humans when he went out to play.

However, he didn't seem surprised that he fell into the hands of the elves.

He even has the leisure to find women for pleasure.

And soon,

Regent Hamilton understood why the prince was so calm.

Rhine: "Hamilton, Regent of Letta, was it your idea to lock me up here?"

The regent said coldly: "I don't have such great power. This is a joint decision of the royal court, Rhine Hein. For the crimes you committed in Laita, you should have been thrown to the dragon. If I don't kill you now, you will You should be grateful."

Hearing this, Rhine just chuckled nonchalantly:

"It's ridiculous, you still want to kill me? You should know what the consequences will be."

Rhine said coldly:

"I am the prince of Hein, and I am the heir to the empire. Didn't you suffer enough when you assassinated Emperor Hein last time?"

The White Tower incident ten years ago profoundly made all the mortal nations realize the horror of Hein.

Now that Leta kidnapped Hein's prince, the regent certainly knew what would happen if Hein's anger was aroused again.

However……

The regent's smile was more contemptuous than Rhine's, and he asked:

"You are only a prince, not an emperor yet."

"Think about it for yourself, Rhine Hein, are you really Hein's only choice?"

Rhine: "You..."

For a moment, no matter how hard Rhine controlled his emotions, there was still a trace of panic that could not be concealed in his eyes.

Rhine understood the regent's words.

He is just a prince, not an emperor. The emperor of Haiyin can be someone else, and obviously... his death will create opportunities for other heirs to the throne!

Rhine gritted his teeth and asked angrily: "Who is instructing you?"

Ah……

Seeing Rhine's panic, the regent immediately felt relieved.

It turns out that this guy's inner calm has been relying on his identity as a prince.

However, when he guessed that the people who wanted to imprison and kill him were not only Leta's elves.

He immediately couldn't sit still.

really.

This kid is nothing more than that.

"The Leita Royal Court is not under anyone's orders. I said, Rhine, we had to arrest you because of the unforgivable evil deeds you committed. We have legitimate reasons, Rhine Hein, Tell me—it was you who killed the ancient dragon Obadiah, right?”

This information came from Prince Edgeworth.

He enthusiastically helped the Royal Court of Leita with suggestions and came up with a reasonable charge for imprisoning Rhine.

He called up the travel files of the Forbidden Army, and after carefully checking with Leta's records, both sides soon discovered the clues.

Rhine Hein, as well as the two Imperial Guardsmen who were close to him, Hela Hein and Thea Constance, all seemed to be present at the scene where Obadiah was killed.

And time,

Basically consistent with the date Obadiah was killed.

Not only that, according to some rumors leaked from the White Light Courtyard, it seems that the Grand Master Electra once said that the murderer of Obadiah was related to Rhine Hein.

Of course,

The regent would not believe that a mere mortal and two ordinary imperial guards could really defeat the ancient dragon.

Serves as Regent of Letta.

No one understood Obadiah's power better than he did.

That ancient dragon has been entrenched in the northern frozen soil of Leta all year round. He is not only a threat to Leta, but at the same time, he is also an important gatekeeper of Leta.

This ancient dragon with immortality can crush all demigods, even the Hein Forbidden Army.

Of course, the situation in today's mortal world is different from that of the past. In the past one hundred years, many non-theoretical beings have appeared in all major races whose strength far exceeds the level of demigods.

For example, Hein's Hestia and Italion, as well as Leta's Electra Lucia, are the best among these extraneous beings.

Just talking about combat effectiveness,

All three of them, Electra, were capable of killing Obadiah, and it wasn't even difficult.

but.

Due to the immortality imposed by the evil dragon Olivia on her people, even these three near-godlike beings would never be able to kill Obadiah.

Then, it would be even more impossible for Rhine to kill Obadiah.

In summary……

Although this incident was not done by Rhine, he had the time to commit the crime.

He does not have the strength to kill the ancient dragon, but he is also suspected of killing the ancient dragon.

That would be great...

Now Rhine is just a soft persimmon to be ravaged at will.

And as expected.
