Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects! Chapter 24

It was not difficult for Hela to determine the identity of the intruder.

Her perception was a blessing of the norm. Logically speaking, if anyone wanted to talk to Hela about something, they could just shout her name from their homes to attract her attention.

With that, everyone could start making deals happily.

However, according to the habits of mortals, they still liked to pay a personal visit, as though it would show more sincerity.

In reality, such sincerity was worthless to the Imperial Guards. The powerful intelligence gathering capabilities of the Imperial Guards were enough to accurately analyze a person's motives and demands through various evidence.

They could tell from a single glance whether one was sincere.

Hela looked at a puppet. “You go.”

The puppet nodded.

Thereafter, the puppet girl's body melted into the dimensional rift and shuttled out of the manor.

Before long, the puppet returned.

The puppet held a receipt in her hands. “It's the envoy of the grand prince. It seems like His Highness is still brooding over you killing his men previously.”

A puppet that stayed at home asked, “Is the grand prince here to cause trouble?”

Shaking her head, the puppet handed the receipt in her hands to Hela. “How is that possible? He merely wants to talk to you. This is a greeting gift.”

Hela received the parchment.

This was a transfer agreement that was signed and in force.

The item that was transferred was a medium-sized gold mine located in Kent County in the south of the capital.

This novel is available on bit.ly/3Tfs4P4.

Yes, it was an ordinary gift.

Hela tossed the agreement to the puppet. “Keep it.”

The puppet nodded. Thereafter, she arrived at the underground storage and tossed the receipt into a mountain of gold, silver and treasures.

The next day.

Hela visited the residence of the grand prince.

Under the lead of a servant, Hela arrived at the grand prince's study. Although she did not see the grand prince here, she saw a spell formation.

It was a voice transmission spell.

The grand prince was not in the capital.

“Miss Hela,”

A middle-aged man's voice sounded from the voice transmission formation.

In reality, as the older brother of the Empress, the grand prince was only in his forties this year. He had a noble status and was in his prime to be the ruler.

It would be strange if a noble as such did not harbor any designs on the crystal throne.

Hela was not interested in the fight for power among the mortals and had always been watching the show with an indifferent attitude towards the prince and grand prince.

Hela asked the grand prince why he invited her.

“I know that any activity within the Haines Empire can't escape the eyes of the Imperial Guards. All the demigod ladies have the ability to control the entire situation. It's just that they usually keep a low profile and are unwilling to be directly exposed.”

The grand prince revealed a sincere smile. “Therefore, I'll be blunt. Your Excellency Hela, I hope that you can stand on my side in the fight for the throne in the future.”

Ha!

How direct.

Without even exchanging pleasantries, Hela was asked to take sides.

However, Hela quite liked this method of communication.

It was convenient.

For mortals, fighting for the throne and taking sides was an extremely difficult and important decision.

However, for the Imperial Guards, it was merely an interesting festival at best.

Hela coughed twice and said solemnly, “The Imperial Army is the sharp sword in the hands of the Emperor. Your Highness, have you ever seen a weapon that can choose a master for itself?”

The grand prince said, “But at times, a weapon can hurt its master.”

“Fufu…”

Hela narrowed her eyes.

She understood what the grand prince meant.

The grand prince wanted Hela to carry out a traditional movement of the Haines Imperial Guards.

Regicide.

To be honest, Hela was not against such work.

It did not matter who was the Emperor. In any case, everyone was part of the royal family chosen by the Crystal Goddess. It did not matter if one of them died or ascended.

The main thing was whether the money was enough.

The reason why the grand prince invited Hela to his house was most likely because he was worried that she might kill his subordinates if she was on the side of the prince.

That was the reason why he was in a hurry to rope in Hela.

The grand prince added, “I've already prepared a huge gift. I hope that you can consider it carefully.”

The grand prince's intentions were clear.

If Rayne ascended the throne, Hela would think of a way to kill him.

The grand prince would then give her a satisfactory reward.

As long as there was money to be made, Hela did not mind doing such a despicable job.

After all, what was despicable was defined by mortals based on their moral standards. However, the Imperial Guards had always had a poor understanding of the morals of mortals.

However…

The current Hela had a different mental state from before.

The moment she thought of the prince's voice and smile…

For some reason, she actually hesitated.

At the same time, her daughters in the dimensional rift protested.

Compared to Hela, the puppets had an even better impression of the prince.

They were not willing to see their mother kill their favorite prince.

Finally, after pondering for a moment…

Hela shook her head.

“I'm not interested.”
