123.The Moonlight King Under the Table (1/2)
The silver tattoo on Alice's chest flashed crazily all night long without stopping for a moment.
Wait until it gets light.
Only then did Rhine realize that he had stayed up all night again.
After defeating the Moon Breaking King, the next Holy Trial will be held in two days. Rhine and Alice do not have much time, and Alice must learn the strategy to defeat the next former king as soon as possible.
"The second late king on the Holy Exam list is the King of Upper Moon six hundred years ago, and she is another powerful enemy. Although her physical strength is much inferior to that of King of Breaking Moon, her fighting style is more calm and meticulous. It's much more difficult to deal with that madman than Po Yue King."
For such slander, the former Po Yue King would definitely be furious.
However, at the moment, the silver-white tattoo on Alice's chest remained silent and gave no response. Only a few tiny wisps of light flickered feebly, making a weak protest.
Rhine began to sort out Alice's clothes just like yesterday.
"Alice, you've stayed here too long, go back first."
"His Highness is too much. As soon as his talent shows up, he is eager to drive people away..."
However, Alice held Rhine's arm with a look full of attachment and refused to leave. She also pretended to be aggrieved and acted coquettishly towards Rhine.
Lain asked helplessly: "I'm not chasing you away, but I'm asking you, did you tell the Grand Master when you came? Without her assistance, what if your whereabouts are exposed? For you now, but At the most critical moment, the old hatred between Leta and Hein will not disappear. If our relationship is exposed now, it will greatly affect your coronation as the Moonlight King. "
Alice smiled: "If I can't become the Moonlight King, I will go to Haiyin and become a concubine for His Highness."
Rhine shook his head: "I will not marry a useless woman as a princess."
"Wow, that's too much~"
After a few flirtations, Alice hugged Rhine and kissed her gently. However, Alice still had her mission, so she could only leave reluctantly as Rhine said.
However……
Just when Alice was being served by Rhine, she put on the complicated royal dress one by one, spread her senses, and began to investigate the paths around the study.
"ah……"
Suddenly, Alice's expression became subtle.
Without the help of the great mentor, she still overturned.
Alice was halfway through her clothes and looked at Rhine awkwardly.
"Things seem a little bad."
"What's wrong?"
"There's a... big shot coming from outside."
.
In the corridor outside the palace study, an old elf wearing a black cloak and mithril armor strode forward with a capable posture.
Regent, Hamilton.
As the current highest authority in Leita, it was he who ordered the imprisonment of Rhine Hein.
Cooperating with the Hein people would be a great shame for the regent.
However, the skull of the Goddess of Compassion was the treasure he wanted to get no matter what.
original,
The regent planned to slowly deal with Edgeworth, Prince of Heine.
But now, Alice has defeated the Moon Breaking King, causing his authority to almost collapse overnight.
same day. A large number of nobles bet on the Crescent King, and there were so many guests in front of the White Light Courtyard that the regent had to take immediate action.
And in order to be able to concentrate on dealing with Alice.
The regent decided to test Prince Hein first.
And when the regent Hamilton opened the door and came to Rhine.
He looked at the ruined and messy study and couldn't help but frown.
on the ground,
The Prince Regent saw a silver high heel shoe.
He understood immediately.
It seems that there were guests in this study last night.
The regent's face was expressionless: "It seems that I have disturbed His Highness?"
"Don't worry, she's gone."
Rhine Hein was sitting calmly at Moonlight King's desk with a kind smile on his face.
gone?
That's really a pity.
The regent was very unhappy. As the mastermind behind the house arrest of Rhine, he allowed Rhine to live so freely and happily in Laita. He felt like a failure.
If he knew which bitch from Laita could not control her lower body and committed adultery with the Hein people, he would definitely make her pay the price.
But, speaking of it...
This Rhine prince is also outrageous. He has only been under house arrest in the study for two days. How on earth did he hook up with a woman in the Moonlight King's palace?
This reminded the regent of the report submitted to him by his subordinates.
According to feedback from law enforcement team monitors, Rhein Hein seems to be very popular among women for unknown reasons.
It is said that the female law enforcement officers who came into contact with him were obsessed with his eyes and praised him highly.
Some female mages even reported that there seemed to be some kind of netherworld corruption in Rhine's eyes, which made him more attractive than ordinary people in the eyes of the opposite sex.
However, the regent and other men did not feel this so-called charm at all.
Therefore, the regent silently wrote down the matter, but did not make any other reaction.
He actually didn't quite believe that there was anything special about this human being.
Probably, this is just some unscrupulous and dirty trick that this romantic and dandy prince has learned through many years of experience.
Moreover, the law enforcers... were clearly flirting with the enemy, but they still gave such high-sounding reasons. Maybe it's time to rectify this group of losers.
Now,
The regent stared into Rhine's eyes.
No matter how he looked at these eyes, he could not feel the slightest charm from Rhine's eyes.
on the contrary,
Whenever he sees this human being, he becomes inexplicably angry.
The prince of the Haine Empire.
Rhine Hein.
The young man in front of him has always had a calm attitude since he was arrested, without any panic.
He was a little too calm...
A nineteen-year-old kid was caught by an elf who was known to be very malicious towards humans when he went out to play.
However, he didn't seem surprised that he fell into the hands of the elves.
He even has the leisure to look for women to have fun.
And soon,
Regent Hamilton understood why the prince was so calm.
Rhine: "Hamilton, Regent of Letta, was it your idea to lock me up here?"
The regent said coldly: "I don't have such great power. This is a joint decision of the royal court, Rhine Hein. For the crimes you committed in Laita, you should have been thrown to the dragon. If I don't kill you now, you will I should be very grateful."
Hearing this, Rhine just chuckled nonchalantly:
"It's ridiculous, you still want to kill me? You should know what the consequences will be."
Rhine said coldly:
"I am the prince of Hein, and I am the heir to the empire. Didn't you suffer enough when you assassinated Emperor Hein last time?"
The White Tower incident ten years ago profoundly made all the mortal nations realize the horror of Hein.
Now that Leta has kidnapped Hein's prince, the regent certainly understands what the consequences will be if Hein's anger is aroused again.
However……
The regent's smile was more contemptuous than Rhine's, and he asked:
"You are only a prince, not an emperor yet."
"Think about it for yourself, Rhine Hein, are you really Hein's only choice?"
Rhine: "You..."
For a moment, no matter how hard Rhine controlled his emotions, there was still a trace of panic that could not be concealed in his eyes.
Rhine understood the regent's words.
He is just a prince, not an emperor. The emperor of Haiyin can be someone else, and obviously... his death will create opportunities for other heirs to the throne!
Rhine gritted his teeth and asked angrily: "Who is instructing you?"
Ah……
Seeing Rhine's panic, the regent immediately felt relieved.
It turns out that this guy has been relying on his status as a prince for his inner peace.
However, when he guessed that the people who wanted to imprison and kill him were not only Leta's elves.
He immediately couldn't sit still.
really.
This kid is nothing more than that.
"The Leita Royal Court is not under anyone's orders. I said, Rhine, we had no choice but to arrest you because of the unforgivable evil deeds you committed. We have legitimate reasons, Rhine Heine, Tell me—it was you who killed Gurung Obadiah, right?”
This information came from Prince Edgeworth.
He enthusiastically helped the Royal Court of Leita with suggestions and came up with a reasonable charge for imprisoning Rhine.
He called up the travel files of the Forbidden Army, and after carefully checking with Leta's records, both sides soon discovered the clues.
Rhine Hein, as well as the two Imperial Guardsmen who were close to him, Hela Hein and Thea Constance, all seemed to be present at the scene where Obadiah was killed.
And time,
Basically consistent with the date Obadiah was killed.
Not only that, according to some rumors leaked from the White Light Courtyard, it seemed that the Grand Master Electra had also said that the murderer of Obadiah was related to Rhine Hein.
Of course,
The regent would not believe that a mere mortal and two ordinary imperial guards could really defeat the ancient dragon.
Serves as Regent of Letta.
No one understood Obadiah's power better than he did.
That ancient dragon has been entrenched in the northern frozen soil of Laita all year round. He is not only a threat to Laita, but at the same time, he is also an important gatekeeper of Laita.
This ancient dragon with immortality can crush all demigods, even the Hein Forbidden Army.
Of course, the situation in today's mortal world is different from that of the past. In the past one hundred years, many non-theoretical beings have appeared in all major races whose strength far exceeds the level of demigods.
For example, Hein's Hestia and Italion, as well as Leta's Electra Lucia, are the best among these extra-theoretical beings.
Just talking about combat effectiveness,
All three of them, Electra, are capable of killing Obadiah, and it won't even be difficult.
but.
Due to the immortality that the evil dragon Olivia bestowed upon her people, even these three near-godlike beings would never be able to kill Obadiah.
Then, it would be even more impossible for Rhine to kill Obadiah.
In summary……
Although this incident was not done by Rhine, he had the time to commit the crime.
He does not have the strength to kill the ancient dragon, but he is also suspected of killing the ancient dragon.
That would be great...
Now Rhine is just a soft persimmon to be ravaged at will.
And as expected.
After hearing the regent's accusation, Rhine.
The look on his face was blank.
Rhine: "So, you want to kill me?"
Regent: "We will deal with you according to the laws of Leta."
Rhine: "Oh, that's nice to say..."
The situation in Rhine is quite bad now.
Leta was not going to let him go. At the same time, the prince on Hein's side also swore to the envoy that under his operation, it would only take three months for the queen to change the heir, and he would kill the prince. The impact is reduced to a minimum.
And when the regent, after testing Rhine.
The regent also didn't find out that Rhine had any means of making a comeback.
When Rhine learned that he had royal blood relatives in Heine, and that he and Laitali should cooperate with each other, his face lost confidence.
very good.
It seems that this kid no longer poses a threat.
Prince Regent: "Is there anything else you would like to say? Rhein Hein."
Rhine: "Do you want to hear it?"
The regent sneered and asked sarcastically: "Can I still prevent the future emperor of Hein from speaking?"
"Then I'll say it."
Rhine laughed first, and then glared at the regent.
Rhine: "Hamilton, you will no longer be the king soon. You can't kill me."
Rhine's words stimulated the regent.
The regent's eyes were gloomy: "Really?"
Rhine smiled and said: "I have a personal relationship with the Grand Master, and I heard that Her Majesty Alice also has a good impression of Heine. Leta's times have changed. When the coronation ceremony of the Moonlight King is completed, will your plan still be there?" What's the use?"
"A little personal relationship? A little affection?"
The regent was full of disdain for Rhine's words:
"Based on your friendship with them, are you sure that those two people will spare you?"
The regent said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are too confident."
Prince Regent: "You blasphemed a woman dressed the same as Alice last night... Do you still find it interesting? A sense of accomplishment? Do you think your despicable behavior would reach Alice's ears?" , will she still have a good impression of you?"
Rhine asked: "Maybe the woman I brought last night is Alice herself, and maybe... your queen is hiding under this table now, doing something nasty?"
ha!
When the Prince Regent heard this, his face suddenly twitched violently. He was suppressing laughter, trying his best to suppress it.
No, I can't hold it in any longer.
This guy is so funny.
It’s really hopeless! !
"Is my joke funny? Prince Regent."
Rhine asked: "But don't you think your current situation is even more ridiculous than this?"
Rhine: "More than ten years ago, you killed a couple for power, and now, their child will soon take your throne and become the supreme ruler of Leta - you are still in the mood to laugh at me ?”
Rhine's cold words immediately made the regent stop smiling.
Rhine: "At this time, I really don't understand why you still have time to care about me. Prince Regent Hamilton, haven't you realized that you are already on the verge of death?"
The Prince Regent stopped laughing.
Rhine's words deeply hurt the regent, making him remember again the tragic and desperate situation he was facing now.
His expression became dignified and serious.
At the same time, with murderous intent.
Prince Regent: "Really? So now you, a prisoner, have started to give me advice?"
"You know that too, don't you? Hamilton."
Rhine continued to put pressure on the regent: "Alice defeated the Moon King. With this achievement, there will be no problem for her to be crowned the Moonlight King. You have already lost. What do you want to use against Her Majesty Alice?" ? "What method do you want to use to escape her revenge?"
The regent gritted his teeth, unable to find any words to refute for a while.
Rhine sneered and made his verdict: "You are hopeless, unless you can find a Moonlight King who is better than Alice... Even if I die, you will die in front of me."
"Hmph, that's all you want to tell me? That's so stupid!"
The regent could no longer refute Rhine. He could only say a harsh word coldly and leave.
"Await your verdict."
After all,
The Prince Regent turned and left, slamming the door behind him.
Rhine: "..."
Watching the regent leave the study, Rhine's expression became calm again.
At this moment.
Alice's voice came from under Moonlight King's desk.
"Your Highness...the words you just said, are you trying to hint at something to the Regent?"
Rhine lowered his head and looked at Alice who was hiding in the table.
What Rhine just said was not entirely a joke to the Prince Regent.
Alice was indeed hiding under the desk.
but.
Rhine was not so mad that he would do anything outrageous in front of a powerful elf veteran.
Alice just hid there obediently, holding her breath to prevent the Regent from discovering her.
Rhine raised his head and looked out the window: "Yes, the regent is still useful now, otherwise it would be easier to just find a reason to kill him... Judging from the regent's reaction, he should have understood what I said."
However, as he spoke, Rhine suddenly frowned.
He lowered his head and found Alice looking at him eagerly.
Rhine: "What are you doing?"
Alice hid under the desk and listened to the entire conversation between Rhine and the Regent.
And then to the end.
This stupid elf with a head full of colors just remembered one sentence.
The Elf Queen was inspired, and a meek and charming smile appeared on her face:
"Of course Alice is going to do what Alice should do."
"There's nothing you should do here. Get out quickly. It's time for you to go."
"I don't want it~"
"Be serious, the regent is going to attack you next, you should... hiss."
.
The regent left the Moonlight King's study with deep thoughts.
He visited Rhine Hein to test Rhine to see if he had a solution to his situation.
The result was good, Rhine was unable to escape.
But... after a conversation with Rhein Hein, the regent was also successfully breached.
The arrogance of this Heinian made him sick to his stomach,
As the prince of Haiyin and a descendant of Jingshen, he actually sat majestically on the chair belonging to the Moonlight King and sat in front of the Moonlight King's desk during the entire conversation with the regent.
That's it,
He actually expected Alice, the Moonlight King, to save him.
but……
Just like the regent was determined that Alice would not save Rhine.
The regent was also convinced that Alice would never spare him in the future.
Rhine Hein's words made the regent extremely anxious, almost fearful.
He's right,
His time has passed.
On the day Alice defeated the Moon Breaking King, the White Light Courtyard was filled with dignitaries who were flattering Alice.
Facing the true king of the future.
They had decided to abandon Hamilton.
Moreover, Prince Regent Hamilton clearly understood that he and Alice still had a deep hatred.
Because it was him who directly killed Alice’s parents,
Alice will seek revenge on him.
On the day Alice was crowned Moonlight King!
but……
Hamilton still has a chance!
Just like Rhine said, if you want to defeat Alice and the Grand Master, you must find a Moonlight King who is stronger than Alice.
otherwise,
No one will pay attention to him as a mere regent. No matter what he does, he will be betrayed and abandoned by everyone sooner or later!
This is the general trend.
All he could do was to create some obstacles for Alice before he died, or to provide some support.
but!
What if Hamilton could really find another Moonlight King? !
Not the kind of Moon God blood descendant with a promising future.
But a real mithril demigod who is qualified to be crowned!
Hamilton really has a clue about this!
Today's Laita, the demigod who holds mithril divinity, is not only the Grand Master and Alice,
There is another person.
And one last person!
That is his son.
The demigod mage who has integrated his existence into the earth - Eve Bastine.

Let me tell you something interesting. Yesterday I paid attention to my reading of this book. As a result, in the middle of the night at 520, my reading of this book was extremely stable. It was no less than usual, and it even seemed to be a little more.
I'm so relieved that everyone is always here!
