Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects! Chapter 23

In a manor on the outskirts of the capital.

Imperial Guard Hela Haines was lying comfortably on the couch in front of the fireplace, enjoying the service of the servants.

Beside her, a few girls in maidservant attires and looked like gods were massaging her feet silently.

Like all the Imperial Guards, Hela's divinity was based on the essence of the Crystal Goddess Order. However, each Imperial Guard was supported by a different aspect of the essence.

Hela's pillar of support came from the former God of Elves, Life.

These girls who looked similar to Hela were all demigod puppets created by Hela using herself as the mother.

Or rather… They were her daughters.

At that moment, Hela was scrutinizing her loot—the Dragon Soul Sword that she obtained from Constance.

As a golden weapon, the quality of the sword was rather high. The Dragon Soul that was used as material had a pure bloodline and some of its components were comparable to an ancient dragon.

Hela was very satisfied.

“Yes.”

She handed the Dragon Soul Sword to the puppet that was massaging her shoulders.

“You'll use this in the future,”

However, the puppet glanced at the sword and shook her head resolutely. “I don't want it.”

Hela: “Huh?!”

The puppet said in a righteous and stern manner, “You extorted this from Miss Thea. She needs it more than us.”

Hela was a little surprised—why was the moral standard of the puppet she created with her blood so much higher than hers?!

Hela stuffed the Dragon Soul Sword into the puppet's hands. “Thea has backup weapons. You don't have to worry about her!”

The puppet still refused to accept the Dragon Soul Sword and she smashed it onto the ground.

With a tense expression, the puppet looked down at Hela as though she was scrutinizing the latter's soul.

“However, Miss Thea only has a single golden weapon. You should know that!”

“Err…” Hela was speechless.

At that moment, she turned her head away guiltily.

Unlike the other sisters, Constance would never seek any benefits for herself and therefore did not have much money.

That golden-grade Dragon Soul Sword was her only golden equipment.

Not only was the puppet girl upright, she even educated her mother in reverse.

“Hela, if you continue to bully your sisters like this, you might end up having no friends one day.”

Hela was exasperated. “… In that case, you guys return it to Constance.”

“You're way too childish!”

Another puppet criticized, “Although Miss Thea is very magnanimous, how is she going to live with herself if you take away her sword but donate it back just like that?”

Hela: “Wow, nice! You guys sure are considerate!”

I really hope that all of you kind and considerate people won't hide behind me and use me as a meat shield the next time we're on the battlefield. Thank you!

Thereafter, the puppets gave their insensible mother a suitable plan.

The puppet massaging her shoulder said, “You should look for Prince Rayne and make a deal with him. Sell him the sword at a low price and allow him to return it to Miss Thea.”

The puppet massaging her feet said, “That way, you won't really take a loss as well, right?”

The puppet who was pretending to massage her but was actually skiving revealed an expectant expression. “Furthermore, we can meet the prince again. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?!”

At the mention of Prince Rayne, the other puppets revealed looks of anticipation as well.

When Hela met the prince today, she was not the only one captivated by his charm—her puppet daughters who were hiding in the rift in the void were also mesmerized.

With just that single glimpse of the successor of the Empire through that gap between time and space, the puppets found their hearts racing because of the prince's shocking charm.

It was a mysterious feeling…

Both the puppets and Hela could not help but wonder.

Could that be… the outcome of the transaction between the prince and the evil dragon?

If that was the case, that might not be such a bad transaction after all.

Hela did not mind whether Rayne used the power of the evil god to control her. After all, the so-called bewitchment was merely a blessing to increase his attractiveness.

Furthermore, notwithstanding the evil god…

The prince right now was truly a pervert!

Right then, Hela sensed something and looked out of the window.

The alarm devices around the manor were triggered.

A visitor had arrived.
