Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects! Chapter 31: Visiting the Empress

After knowing that she would benefit immensely by following Rayne, Hela's attitude changed instantly.

She held Rayne's hand, her eyes filled with sincerity and gentleness.

Miss Hela was an extremely dedicated person.

As long as there was money to be made, this cold-blooded and cruel demigod lady would similarly display shocking loyalty and passion after entering business mode.

Although the grand prince's gold was tempting, it was pathetic compared to the treasure of an ancient dragon.

At this moment, Hela looked at Rayne warmly—she had a clear goal in mind.

She was following this man!

Hela said, "However, Your Highness, I can't defeat the ancient dragon alone, alright?"

Rayne was extremely confident. "Don't worry, we'll definitely win if we go together."

"Yes, alright then!"

Hela felt that she was not a match for the ancient dragon.

However, Rayne seemed confident.

Therefore, both parties took action respectively. Furthermore, Hela told Rayne that he could summon her at any time after he was done.

…

After bidding farewell to Hela, Rayne headed to the Empress's chamber.

At this point, things progressed exactly as Rayne had planned.

Be it Hela or the grand prince, their reactions were completely within Rayne's expectations.

Rayne had indeed let the grand prince off on purpose.

However, unlike what Hela had imagined…

Rayne had no intention of blackmailing the grand prince.

That sort of thing was meaningless.

The prince and grand prince were competitors for the throne—there was nothing more valuable than one of them being gone.

Because of that, logically speaking, the prince should not hesitate to use such evidence to kill the grand prince.

However, for Rayne, that was way too crass.

As the first enemy Rayne encountered, the grand prince had long been controlled by Rayne.

It was extremely simple to get rid of him.

However, to control him and manipulate him to create greater value for Rayne—that was a skill.

As a politician, he was not qualified to be a grand prince; this was a useless person whose throne was snatched away by his younger sister back th
