Chapter 16: Love at First Sight

Chapter 16: Love at First Sight

The perception of a demigod was extremely strong. Even without using any spells, they could easily monitor units the size of a town with their innate blessings.

As for Dreamland…

Hela could naturally monitor every single move of this unit that was built two streets away from the imperial palace.

However, it was a pity that there was a powerful Nether Realm barrier beneath Dreamland that was enough to block Hela's detection.

Therefore, the only thing Hela could sense previously was that not long after Rayne entered Dreamland, the aura of the true form of the evil dragon suddenly burst forth beneath Dreamland.

However, apart from that, Hela did not know the details.

Of course, it was enough for her to understand things to this point.

The Haines Empire was a country with an extremely powerful religious faction.

In this country, there was only a single belief.

It belonged to the strongest human god—the Crystal Goddess, Order.

In such a country, one was practically doomed to be labeled a heretical.

It was almost certain that once the truth was exposed, Prince Rayne's inheritance rights would cease to exist and he would face a religious trial personally with a high chance of losing his life.

However…

Hela did not want to blow things up.

This had nothing to do with Rayne.

Hela was not interested in the politics of the Haines Empire nor did she have any evil intentions towards the grand prince and prince. In any case, no matter who took over, they would not mistreat the Imperial Guards.

Even if the prince died, she would not feel any heartache.

However…

Right now, she had a sister who was embroiled in this matter as well.

In the end, Hela did not visit the grand prince.

Instead, she decided to blackmail Prince Rayne.

Hela only used a split second to lock onto Rayne's location.

At that moment, Rayne had just returned from Dreamland.

After returning to the palace, he parted ways with Constance. According to the schedule given to him by the palace, he still had a sword technique class to attend.

Just as Rayne was halfway there…

Hela walked over with a smile.

Initially, Hela intended to get straight to the point and spill the truth in front of the prince. Now that the prince had just done something bad and was naturally nervous, it would be easier to negotiate with him after scaring him first.

However, something unexpected happened.

Hela smiled. "Your Highness Rayne, this afternoon…"

Halfway through her sentence, the smile on Hela's face froze.

For some reason...

Hela felt as though an electric current had surged through her heart the moment she caught sight of Rayne!

To Hela's surprise...

Prince Rayne seemed exceptionally carefree and charming today.

Faint-colored eyes, short black hair, a confident smile on his face and his decent attire—Hela liked them all.

In a daze, Hela even forgot why she called Rayne back.

When Rayne caught sight of Hela, he revealed a respectful smile. "It's Her Excellency Hela. I heard that you've returned victorious from the Emerald Plains. I was just looking for an opportunity to pay a visit to you to welcome you."

"Ah… you're too kind, Your Highness,"

Hela was a little incoherent. For some reason, her heart had been beating so fast after seeing Rayne that even her brain was not working properly.

Rayne smiled at Hela. Seeing that Hela did not seem like she had anything to say, he exchanged a few more pleasantries with her before leaving.

Hela stood on the spot, stunned for a moment.

She touched her cheek and felt a sense of surprise.

So hot...

I'm... blushing?!

For a moment, Hela could not figure out what happened. Why did Prince Rayne suddenly become so charming today?

Furthermore…

Hela went silent.

"…Why did I want to look for His Highness earlier on?"

Oh!

Right!

I came to blackmail the prince! I was here to collect hush money!

Hela turned to look at the departing prince. Although the handsome back view of the prince was gradually disappearing, there was still a lingering feeling of love at first sight in Hela's heart…

Speaking of blackmailing the prince…

For a moment, she actually felt… like she could not bear to do it.

Forget it.

Time to change a target.

Hela would naturally not let go of such a rare opportunity to earn money. Since she couldn't look for the grand prince if she had no intention of blackmailing the prince...

It was clear that Hela had no other choice.

In that case, she could only do it on her sister!
