Chapter 123.2: The Moonlight Queen Under the Table (2)

Before long, Regent Hamilton understood why this prince was so calm.

Rayne said, "Hamilton, the regent of Leta. Was it your idea to lock me here?"

The regent said coldly, "I don't have that much power. This is a joint decision of the palace, Rayne Haines. Your crimes in Leta were enough to have you sent to feed the dragons. You should be grateful that we're not killing you right now."

When Rayne heard that, he merely chuckled indifferently.

"What a joke. Do you guys even want to kill me? You should know the consequences of that very well."

Rayne said coldly, "I'm the Prince of Haines and the successor of the Empire. Haven't you guys suffered enough for your previous assassination attempt on the Empress of Haines?"

The White Tower incident 10 years ago had deeply enlightened the mortal countries about how terrifying Haines was.

Naturally, the regent understood what would happen if they incurred the wrath of Haines again by Leta's capture of the Prince of Haines this time round.

However, the regent's smile was even more disdainful than Rayne's as he questioned, "You're only a prince and not the Emperor yet."

"Think about it yourself, Rayne Haines. Are you really the only choice of Haines?"

Rayne: "You..."

For a moment, no matter how much Rayne controlled his emotions, there was still a hint of panic in his eyes.

Rayne understood the regent's words.

He was only a prince and not an Emperor. There were others who could be the Emperor of Haines still. Furthermore... it was clear that his death would create the opportunity for the other heirs of the throne!

Rayne gritted his teeth and questioned angrily, "Who was the one who instigated you guys?"

Fufufu...

The regent was relieved when he saw Rayne's panic.

So, the reason why this guy had been calm the entire time was because of his status as the prince.

However, when he guessed that the Leta elves were not the only ones who wanted to imprison and kill him...

Immediately, he could not sit still.

Indeed.

That was all there was to this lad.

Rayne: "So, you want to kill me?"

The regent said, "We'll punish you according to Leta's laws."

Rayne: "Fufu, nice excuse..."

Right now, Rayne's situation was rather terrible.

Leta had no intention of letting him off. At the same time, on the side of Haines, the grand prince swore to the envoy that given his maneuvers, he could get the Empress to change the successor in just three months. That way, he would minimize the impact of them killing the prince.

After the regent tested Rayne...

He discovered that Rayne did not have any means of turning the tides either.

The moment Rayne found out that a kin of the royal family in Haines was cooperating with Leta, there was no longer any confidence on his face.

Very good.

It seemed like this lad was no longer a threat.

The regent: "Is there anything else you want to say, Rayne Haines?"

Rayne: "Do you want to hear it?"

The regent sneered and asked sarcastically, "Who am I to stop the future Emperor of Haines from speaking?"

"I'll tell you then."

First, Rayne laughed. Thereafter, he glared at the regent.

Rayne said, "Hamilton, soon, you won't be the regent anymore. You won't be able to kill me."

Rayne's words triggered the regent.

The regent's gaze was dark. "Is that so?"

Rayne smiled. "I have a personal relationship with the Great Teacher. I heard that Her Majesty Alice has a favorable impression of Haines as well. The era of Leta will change soon. Once the Moonlight Queen's coronation ceremony is completed, what's the use of your plan?"

"A personal relationship? A favorable impression?"

The regent was filled with disdain towards Rayne's words.

"Are you sure that the two of them will let you off just because of your relationship with them?"

The regent said with a smile, "Your Highness, you're way too confident."

"Just last night, you blasphemed a woman who was dressed the same as Alice.... Did you think that it was interesting? Did you gain a sense of accomplishment? Do you think that she will still have a favorable impression of you if she hears about your despicable actions?"

Rayne asked, "Who knows, the woman I brought with me last night might be Alice herself. Who knows... your Empress might even be hiding under this table doing something despicable?"
