Early in the morning, Rayne walked out of the bedroom and saw that a set of materials for the Moonlight Queen's crown was already neatly stacked in the study.
Alice, who had just taken a shower and used magic to dry her golden hair, walked out as well.
"Elebella… sure is exhausted."
Glancing at the bedroom behind the door, Alice closed the door with a smile.
Alice said, "I'll let her rest well."
Yesterday, Elebella endured a lot of bullying because of Alice's whimsical thoughts.
Originally, as a newbie, she should have received even gentler treatment.
Unfortunately…
There was no Elebella in the study last night.
Thereafter, Alice also saw a pile of materials placed in the study.
Alice asked, "Speaking of which, Your Highness, what are these?"
"Can't you tell?"
Rayne said, "The purified skeleton of a quasigod, the primitive mithril that symbolizes the authority of Compassion and the complete set of alchemy materials required for the Aldington secret ritual… This is the formula for forging the Moonlight Queen's crown."
Alice was stunned. "Your Highness, what do you want these things for now?" The debut release of this chapter happened at N0v3l_B1n.
"I'll explain that to you later. I have a question now…"
Rayne crossed his arms and fell into deep thought. "When… did Elktela come yesterday?"
Alice smiled meaningfully. "The Great Teacher came
for a long time last night~"
Rayne: "…"
Forget it.
It was better to get down to proper business.
Rayne said, "I'm going to bypass Leta's usual Aldington ritual and create a temporary Moonlight Queen's crown."
There were all the materials needed to process the Moonlight Queen's crown here. If he wanted to create a Moonlight Queen's crown himself… Although the processing method used was extremely crude, of course, it was feasible.
It was just that the quality would be poor.
Rayne continued to explain to Alice, "Compared to the crown created through an orthodox ceremony, this fake temporary crown has an extremely low efficiency. However, its validity period is shorter. Overall, the power it can unleash in a short period of time is not much different from an official crown."
The temporary crown could allow Alice to obtain extraordinary combat strength at the level of the Moonlight Queen before obtaining the seven late queen imprints and completing the coronation ceremony.
Here comes the problem.
Alice asked, "Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry for me to reach the level of the Moonlight Queen? There should only be three rounds left for the sacred test."
Rayne said, "There are indeed only three more rounds left for the sacred test. Sure, the first two fellas are still alright, but how do you plan to deal with the Tragic Moon Queen?"
Alice smiled. "Can't I just wait for you to tell me how to fight like before, Your Highness?"
"You can't."
Rayne shook his head. "That's because I don't know how to defeat the Tragic Moon Queen either."
Rayne's understanding of the late queens of Leta came entirely from his experience of fighting Alice in his previous reincarnation cycles.
Alice was very strong and had once challenged the top legendary late queens of Leta. However, there was only one person she had never won against.
Rather, she had never even challenged that person to begin with.
It was the original Moonlight Queen, the Tragic Moon Queen.
Since Rayne could not see Alice summon the corporeal body of the Tragic Moon Queen, he naturally had no experience dealing with her.
However…
Rayne continued, "Although I don't know the combat routine of the Tragic Moon Queen, I at least know her personality and her approximate level. I can create a situation where you can win, but the exact operation will depend on you."
Therefore, that was when the temporary crown was required.
After all, Alice was way too lousy under normal circumstances. The only way she could possibly fight against the Tragic Moon Queen was by cheating.
Alice was all smiles as she nodded vigorously. "I won't disappoint you, Your Highness Rayne."
Rayne smiled as well.
In the final battle, Alice could not only rely on Rayne. She had to obtain the recognition of the Tragic Moon Queen with her own strength.
Although there were uncertainties in the plan, Rayne was not worried that it would fail.
Alice was, after all... the Emerald Moon Queen who had destroyed Rayne countless times.
Rayne's scarred body of pain expressed its confidence in Alice.
Apart from that…
There was another use for this temporary crown now.
Rayne still needed Alice to do something.
He needed her help to defeat Sebastian.
"Alice, I have something else to say."
Rayne said seriously, "There's something I haven't told you. It's my true motive for visiting Leta."
When Alice heard that, she could not help but ask curiously, "Isn't Your Highness's goal to turn all the demigods of Leta into your loyal playthings?"
Rayne could not hold it in anymore. "Erm… that's one of the goals?"
It was true that he had that thought and he had indeed done it.
However, to be honest, it felt strange when the victim said those words in such an innocent tone…
Rayne coughed twice and continued, "Actually, another reason why I came to Leta was because I wanted to remove Sebastian's curse on the Haines crystal throne."
"I told you before that the regent is still useful to me, right? I've been putting pressure on the regent so that he can take the initiative to release Sebastian. Only then can I kill him and remove the curse he placed on the crystal throne. However… from Leta's point of view, this matter is clearly not in your interests."
Haines was Leta's enemy.
Naturally, the elves of Leta did not want the Emperor of Haines to have a good life.
Rayne said, "This won't do you any good. In fact, you'll even be suspected by the people. It's just that I need you to do this. So, Alice, will you help me?"
"Your Highness…"
Early in the morning, Rayne walked out of the bedroom and saw that a set of materials for the Moonlight Queen's crown was already neatly stacked in the study.
