Chapter 135: At the Thought of Your Highness, Everyones Bodies…

Chapter 135: At the Thought of Your Highness, Everyone's Bodies…

The tradition of Mother Saint's Day tempted Alice.

However, it was clear.

That was not what Rayne wanted to talk to her about right now.

Rayne said, "Alice, listen up. Up till now, the nobles you've come into contact with were merely small fries that are trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. They are easy to deal with. After all, you are the most orthodox leader of Leta. As long as you are not hostile towards them, they will naturally be united under your lead."

However, there were some nobles who would not take the initiative to curry favor with the Moonlight Queen, Alice.

At the Mother Saint's Day ball...

Alice would finally face her true opponents.

"Right now, the true controllers of Leta don't want the Moonlight Queen to return. The regent will share the country with them but the Moonlight Queen's authority is absolute. Therefore, Alice, apart from the sacred test, you have another problem."

And that was how she should deal with the regent and the interest group that was bound to him.

At the moment…

Those nobles were still united under the regent. Even if the regent were to fall, a large portion of them would not be willing to submit to the Moonlight Queen and would pose a huge threat to the development of the country.

At the ball of Mother Saint's Day, all the aristocrats and big shots of the royal family would definitely be present. That would be the first round of the game between Alice and these nobles.

The documents on Rayne's right hand were the detailed information of the group of people under the regent's lead along with all the notable upper echelons of Leta.

It summarized the preferences, personalities, interpersonal relationships and weaknesses of those nobles as well as all sorts of scandals that could be used to have leverage over them.

As long as Alice could master those strategies proficiently, she could suppress these bugs within the palace.

Once the old guards were properly handled after a change of dynasties, the fate of the country in the next era could be decided directly.

Towards these old guards of the previous era, whether to get rid of them or collect them, as well as how to manage them... it was a skill to know what to do.

"You have to take this problem seriously, Alice. In order to be a good Moonlight Queen, it's not enough to just possess extraordinary strength."

Rayne said in seriousness, "If we can resolve the issue of the palace, Leta can take off under your lead. However, if we can't, these people will be a burden to Leta for at least ten years."

Of course.

Actually, Alice had a simpler way of dealing with it as well.

She could kill all her political enemies and eliminate the power of the regent completely, creating a new order.

However, Alice did not like that method.

Among the nobles who were secretly going against Alice in the dark...

The only one whom she truly could not forgive was the regent who killed her parents.

As for the remaining interest group, as long as it was controlled properly, they would be good tools.

Although annihilation was a simple and effective strategy, it would be a waste to do it after a perfect resolution to the situation had already been found.

Alice could understand that logic.

However, she still felt uneasy.

"But… Your Highness, I still don't have confidence in myself. Can I really persuade those big shots in the palace to support me with your strategy?"

Alice truly knew nothing about politics.

Ever since she was young, the only knowledge she had learned from her elders was how to please men.

There was probably a long way for her to go before she could improve and grow into an outstanding political figure in the future.

However… at this stage, it might be too much to ask a newbie like Alice to fight against those old foxes who had been in the palace for dozens of years.

Naturally, Rayne knew that logic.

Although Rayne had prepared as detailed a strategy for her as possible, he could not let her memorize it in advance and plan the counterattack to every sentence, movement and attack like she did against the Moonlight Queens.

Even if Alice could memorize the details of everyone, it did not mean that she could crush this group of big shots with evil intentions perfectly and take them in.

However…

Rayne felt that the problem was not great.

"Dealing with these nobles isn't like dealing with the Moonlight Queens. Even if you make a mistake, it won't be fatal. At most, you'll just cause the deaths of a few more loyal officials and less scheming people. Just take it all as practice."

Perhaps in the future, she would have to pay a high price for her wrong judgment in these critical days.

However…

At this point, time was tight and he could no longer pursue perfection.

Rayne said, "After all, apart from these nobles, you have to be careful of the demigods of White Light Courtyard as well."

With that said, Rayne took out a pile of paper from the documents.

What was written on them was the information of the four demigods of the White Light Courtyard.

Rayne said, "Alice, apart from the Great Teacher, you have to be careful of the other teachers as well. There's no doubt that they're on your side, but that's because they don't know that… your man is the Prince of Haines."

The elves had an unforgettable hatred towards the Haines Empire and the four demigod teachers of Leta were no exception.

The reason why the teachers supported her was because she was the Moonlight Queen and the fated Empress of Leta.

However…

Rayne said, "If you, the Empress, were to have an affair with someone from Haines and even marry the Emperor of Haines in the future... how would the teachers feel?"

Arlys tilted her head and replied somewhat uncertainly, "Probably very envious?"

Rayne: "…Huh?"

Rayne received an unexpected reply.

As for Alice, she recalled the subtle behavior of the teachers when Rayne used the communication magical tool to communicate with the White Light Courtyard.

Alice: "I think... everyone seems to like you, Your Highness."

Rayne: "Like me? Why?"

Alice smiled. "I don't know either, but I can tell that everyone has a favorable impression of Your Highness Rayne. Furthermore, it's the kind of… favorable impression where one's body would turn naughty."

After hearing those ambiguous answers…

Instantly...

Rayne seemed to have thought of something.

Rayne's gaze focused on the door to the Nether Realm in his eyes. "Your Highness Olivia?"

"Ding! Dong!"

Instantly, Olivia logged in and declared proudly, "Rayne, are you surprised? This is yet another surprise I prepared for you!"

Rayne: "???"

Olivia: "Do you remember the residue of the spell projection that your sister threw away casually when you headed to the tundra previously?

Actually, those residue were recovered by the elf demigods of Leta later on. Furthermore, I've already bewitched the three elf demigods for you through my Nether Realm door on the spell projection! Right now, their minds will go fuzzy and lovesick the moment they hear your name!"

Good lord...

So, the demigod teachers of Leta had already fallen with the help of Olivia before Rayne could even make a move himself.

Since that was the case...

There was no longer a need for Rayne to get Alice to deal with the demigod teachers.

After a moment of contemplation, Rayne made a decision in his heart.

Perhaps, it's time for me to head out for a walk as well.

"Alice."

Rayne stood up and patted the documents in his right hand.

"Take these as extracurricular readings. There's no need to memorize them anymore."

Rayne said, "I'll settle those big shots and the teachers for you."
