The first round of the sacred test was over.
Alice left the venue quickly after completing her speech.
After enjoying the shocking battle, the audience left the venue in satisfaction, feeling hopeful for the future of their country.
At the same time, the nobles of the Moonlight Court underwent a tremendous change in their mental states after watching the trial.
From the initial struggles and conflicts, there was a change.
At this moment…
Many people already had a clear understanding of their leaning in this political game.
Ad
Moonlight Queen Alice!
Many nobles made a firm decision in their hearts.
"My friend, have you finally seen it clearly? The situation of the country is getting more and more difficult. I believe that Her Majesty Alice, chosen by the Great Teacher, is a qualified Moonlight Queen! We have to stop what we're doing now because we're betraying our country!"
Outside the crowd, the nobles of the palace boarded their carriages and conversed excitedly with their friends.
Some people had already made up their minds, but some people were still hesitant.
"But Regent Hamilton said that he has a more suitable candidate for the new queen and we shouldn't let the White Light Courtyard waste the sacred skeleton."
"Fufu, do you really believe that? There has been no activity for so many years and all of a sudden, a candidate appeared in his family right after the Great Teacher brought the new queen back?"
"That's true…"
"At the end of the day, the reason why the regent wants to go against the Great Teacher is because he's afraid the White Light Courtyard will steal his limelight... but what has that got to do with us? The Moonlight Queen needs the palace to manage the country for her. Do you think she's really going to kill off the entire palace after her ascension just because she was groomed by the Great Teacher?"
"But… don't forget, Hamilton said that we're the murderers of the new queen's parents."
"Wesley, don't be silly. The person who annihilated her family back then was Hamilton! The person who murdered the previous regent was also Hamilton! What has that got to do with us? Even if by a long stretch we're considered accomplices, think about it. If we flip the genealogical records of the entire palace for a few generations, which family has no feud with another? My great-grandmother was fed to the dogs by the Alfred family. But now, our families are in-laws!"
"... To be honest, Huggins, I've never understood why you insist on bragging about this matter everyday as though it's an honor."
"Magnanimity is a noble virtue, my friend. Alright, I've decided. Since we have a feud with Her Majesty, shouldn't we resolve it as soon as possible? I'm going to bring gifts to visit Her Majesty Alice today. That's right, we have to move as soon as possible. The White Light Courtyard will definitely be very lively today!"
Ad
"Then… I'll go home and prepare as well."
The first round of the sacred test was just completed.
However, there were many nobles in the palace who could not wait to take sides and place their bets.
After all, although the subsequent rounds were all difficult and dangerous, it was almost certain that Alice could deal with them since she was able to take down the Breaking Moon Queen.
The only uncertain factor was the final Tragic Moon Queen.
That was Leta's strongest Moonlight Queen. Similar to the Breaking Moon Queen, she had never been defeated by any new queens.
However, the difference between the two of them was that there had only been seven new queens who challenged the Breaking Moon Queen in history. Due to the infamy of her killing the new queens, the Sanctum Council would basically not include this late queen to the lists of candidates for the sacred test.
As for the Tragic Moon Queen, there were countless new queens who wanted to obtain the recognition of the legendary and strongest Moonlight Queen. There were close to a hundred attempts so far in the history of Leta, but nobody had ever cleared her.
That was Alice's greatest hurdle. However, nobody would feel upset even if she could not defeat the Tragic Moon Queen.
That first Moonlight Queen was inextricably related to Goddess Compassion who died. To begin with, her existence could no longer be considered as a demigod Empress.
Instead, it would be extremely ridiculous if Alice could defeat her.
In reality, when she defeated the Breaking Moon Queen, she had already obtained the recognition of the citizens and nobles of Leta.
Of course, Regent Hamilton was naturally not included in those nobles.
As the nominal secular ruler of Leta…
Once Alice was crowned as the Moonlight Queen, Hamilton's title of regent would naturally cease to exist.
However, in reality, that was not the only conflict between the regent and the new queen, Alice.
The regent had a private meeting with Alice before.
After that interaction with Alice...
The regent gained a strong dislike for this new Moonlight Queen!
The root of the problem came from their view of a certain country.
Ad
The Haines Empire.
After testing the waters with their words, the two rulers realized that their attitudes towards Haines were complete opposite.
Alice had a good impression of the capital of Haines. At the same time, she had a mysterious confidence in her future friendly relationship with Haines.
However, it was the opposite for Regent Hamilton.
If not for the fact that the White Light Courtyard was not under his jurisdiction, he would have led the demigods of Leta to wage war against Haines a long time ago.
The reason was simple.
Regent Hamilton's hatred towards Haines was not only on the basis of race; he also had a deep personal feud.
For the White Tower incident of the past, the most elite mages of the mortal world were gathered to cast a collective curse. The Empress of Haines, Cassius, was nearly cursed to death.
The person who planned that incident was a demigod mage, Sebastian.
That was none other than his only son.
…
Alice opened a teleportation gate and returned to the White Light Courtyard.
The first thing she did was take a detailed shower.
She washed her body carefully from the inside out just to wait for Prince Rayne to dirty her again tonight.
After the shower, she ate some food.
What Alice wanted to do next was to look for someone.
Regarding the fact that she defeated the Breaking Moon Queen...
Naturally, Alice wanted to share the good news with Rayne right away so that she could wheedle to him for a reward.
However…
Right now, she was faced with a practical problem.
She could no longer find the Great Teacher.
Because Rayne was now under house arrest by the palace, theoretically speaking, Alice could not meet him.
Therefore, if Alice wanted to look for Rayne, she needed the Great Teacher to cover for her.
The quasigod fragments in the Great Teacher's body had mental control and the ability to modify memories. They could modify the memories of the law enforcement squad and patrolling guards to perfectly conceal Alice's tracks.
Logically speaking, those abilities could be done with magic as well.
Unfortunately, Alice did not know how to.
She searched the entire capital with her perception but could not find any traces of the Great Teacher.
Ad
Therefore, she could only wait obediently for the Great Teacher to return.
However, Alice did not idle while waiting.
Right now, the White Light Courtyard was already tightly surrounded by visiting nobles.
These were definitely the most enthusiastic customers Alice had received in her entire life.
In fact, even the patrons who coveted her body back then did not look at her as warmly as these nobles—furthermore, there were even more of them!
Alice was a little flustered.
"Erm... Empress Breaking Moon?"
In her heart, Alice turned to the Breaking Moon Queen for help. "I can't handle such situations. Do you have any suggestions?"
However, the Breaking Moon Queen merely sneered.
"These are trashes who flow with the tide. Kill them to liven things up."
Ah, damn...
It seemed like the Breaking Moon Queen was of no help for this matter as well.
There was no other way.
She had to grit her teeth and face it.
After all, this was the Empress's job…
Although Alice was a little nervous, she still revealed a calm smile and tried her best to receive the guests.
Just like that, the day passed quickly.
In the evening, the guests finally left.
Now that Alice was free, the Great Teacher finally returned as well.
Although the Great Teacher had returned, she seemed to be in a bad condition.
This was unlike her normal bad conditions, it seemed different...
The silver-haired fairy beauty looked wretched yet charming. A few strands of hair fell messily and her fair neck was covered by her long silver-white hair. There were a few rough hickeys that had already been healed but could still be vaguely seen.
As for the magnificent dress she was wearing, it was filled with wrinkles as well, as though it had been through a rough ride. In fact, a sling on the dress was snapped and repaired by the Great Teacher using magic.
Similar to the few hickeys...
The spells used by the Great Teacher who was physically exhausted were sloppy. Alice could tell at a glance using her observational skills as a demigod.
After returning, the Great Teacher's body was weak and she staggered. In fact, she even had to support herself against the wall when she walked.
Ad
However, she did not vomit blood today. That was a clear sign that she did not use divinity and it was merely her body that was overworked.
The Great Teacher could not even be bothered with maintaining her basic manners—there was no way she would behave as such normally.
It was clear that she was extremely exhausted both physically and mentally.
When she saw how exhausted the Great Teacher was, Alice felt… embarrassed to trouble her further.
When the Great Teacher walked past Alice and noticed the latter's hesitant expression…
She left an indifferent statement.
"Don't go looking for him."
"He's tired…"
With that, the Great Teacher left.
A question mark popped up in the mind of the Breaking Moon Queen. "Him? Who is that?"
Alice said, "He's the one who taught me how to defeat you, Your Majesty Breaking Moon."
The Breaking Moon Queen was shocked when she heard that. "I want to see him!"
"Yes, of course…"
As she replied to the Breaking Moon Queen, Alice admired the back view of the Great Teacher as the latter left with a meaningful smile on her face.
The Great Teacher had finally become a woman as well…
The Breaking Moon Queen: "???"
After lamenting, Alice was prepared to make a move.
In theory, Alice should not take the risk to visit Rayne without the help of the Great Teacher.
However, after yesterday's interaction, she finally understood. Right now, she no longer wanted to leave her beloved Highness Rayne for a single moment.
Even if she did nothing but stay by his side, she would be happy as well.
"Well, let's secretly meet His Highness Rayne..."
The first round of the sacred test was over.
Alice left the venue quickly after completing her speech.
After enjoying the shocking battle, the audience left the venue in satisfaction, feeling hopeful for the future of their country.
