Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects! Chapter 55: The Pick Up Artist

Rayne and the puppets were enjoying a short vacation on the sunny beach.

During this period of time, Rayne got along very well with the puppets and this did not even require acting skills.

At that moment, Rayne was touched.

This was the first time Rayne had seen this group of Imperial Guards spending their own money to work for him!

In the past, even when Rayne had the best relationship with the Imperial Guards, both parties merely had a purely transactional relationship.

Invasion was not part of the Imperial Guards' duties to begin with. Hence, Rayne could only offer high prices continuously for the Imperial Guards to work
