Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 26: Shy Puppet

Prince Edgeworth was Rayne's uncle. At the same time, he was the first enemy Rayne encountered.

For Rayne who had been reborn endlessly through reincarnation, every time he restarted, he had to deal with the grand prince first. Over time, destroying the grand prince was as easy as eating and drinking for Rayne.

Regarding this Beginner Boss whom he had fought a thousand times, Rayne knew when the grand prince would play punk and how he should counter every action—he had memorized everything and it was almost like instinct.

The grand prince's voice was dark. "Rayne…"

The moment Rayne Haines appeared, the grand prince's calm and amiable demeanor vanished.

Rayne greeted respectfully, "Uncle."

"Rayne Haines, this is my residence. I didn't invite you today."

Rayne smiled. "That's right, you didn't invite me. You invited Her Excellency Hela. Speaking of which… What were the two of you talking about?"

The grand prince grit his teeth. "It has nothing to do with you."

Rayne walked into the grand prince's study with ease, arriving before the bookshelves as though he was in his own home.

Instantly, the grand prince turned nervous. "What are you doing?!"

Rayne skillfully found an ordinary-looking dictionary on the bookshelf.

Thereafter, he withdrew an IOU from the dictionary.

"Let me see what this is… Prince Edgeworth of the Haines Empire borrowed a billion golden swords from Gold Village. They were forged into gold bars and transported to the Caines Islands in the North for storage."

Rayne read the contents of the IOU and revealed an incredulous expression. "Uncle, were you intending to bribe Her Excellency Hela with dirty money borrowed from the enemy?"

The grand prince was extremely agitated. "Bullsh*t!"

At the side, Hela was enlightened.

So… the gold was borrowed from the dwarves of Gold Village by the grand prince?

It was no wonder why the grand prince could fork out so much money in one go.

However, Gold Village was named as a calamity in the edict of the goddess. As the grand prince of the Haines Empire, what conditions did Edgeworth use to borrow so much money from the dwarves?

Hela's gaze gradually changed.

The grand prince was even more exasperated. "Rayne, how dare you slander me! That IOU was clearly prepared by you to frame me, right?!"

Rayne laughed. He ignored the grand prince and continued smiling to himself.

"Seems like you need more evidence, uncle. Since Her Excellency Hela is here as well, why don't I state a few coordinates for her to take a look at?"

The grand prince said angrily, "That's complete slander! Miss Hela, don't listen to that lad's nonsense!"

When Hela heard that, she opened her mouth, wanting to say something…

However, at that moment, the dimensional rift opened up on its own and a puppet popped her head out. "Your Highness Rayne, if Hela is unwilling to help, we can run the errands for you."

The puppet daughters knew the big picture. If the grand prince was truly in cahoots with external enemies, things would not be as simple as an internal strife within the royal family.

In order to prevent her avaricious mother from doing any more lousy work, the puppet girl appeared from the dimensional rift happily and remarked to Rayne.

Rayne smiled. "Thank you, Histia Hela."

The puppet was shocked and stammered shyly, "A-Ah… Your Highness, you actually know my n-name…!"
