Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects! Chapter 124.1: Gift of the Blood Empress (1)

Ever since he came out of the Moonlight Queen's study, Regent Hamilton had been uneasy.

He was no fool. In reality, ever since the Great Teacher brought Alice back to the capital, what he felt was not a threat.

It was the impending arrival of his doomsday.

No matter how arrogant he was, he would not think that a mere regent could be compared to the Moonlight Queens who had ruled Leta for thousands of years.

The White Light Courtyard would not do something like going through a series of coronation ceremonies that were destined to fail just to prove their authority and make others recognize their existence.

The regent knew from the beginning...

The child they brought back would definitely be the next Moonlight Queen.

She was the granddaughter of the previous generation's regent and possessed the oldest surname in the palace—Fremont.

Apart from Hamilton, she was the fated true queen for everyone.

Rayne's sharp tongue reminded Hamilton once more of a dreadful fact that he had intentionally forgotten.

He was about to die.

Today, he lashed out at his wife and daughters at the table over a small matter.

Looking at the numb gazes of his two daughters and young wife, he was even angrier. He resisted the urge to overturn the table and smash everything before him and left the restaurant.

At night, the regent was even more frustrated and his heart felt like it was about to be crushed by a mountain.

He laid on the bed alone and tossed and turned without sleeping the entire night.

He had to find a way out for himself.

Escape?

Could he escape?

Once he lost his power, the grudges he had sowed over the years would slowly arrive on a timer.

For the regent, that was the most terrifying doomsday.

In fact, it would be an outcome a hundred times more tragic than if he were to die in the hands of the Moonlight Queen.

After all, his political enemies in the palace were much more vicious and twisted than an innocent and kind girl.

It was impossible for the regent to escape. He had to continue being the regent or die.
