Rayne said sincerely, "What I want is not the Starburst, but you. I've already told you, God Consort, I like you."
Rayne's words broke through the God Consort's defense once more.
The stern face she tried so hard to put on revealed an unconcealable shyness. However, immediately after, she hurriedly coughed twice and turned her head to say in a low voice, "Please stop joking! I'm the goddess of the High Elves. I'll abide by the traditions of the High Elves and serve only one God King for the rest of my life… It won't do either of us any good to break the taboo!"
The atmosphere turned silent.
Rayne looked at the God Consort speechlessly.
However, thereafter, he smiled.
As though he had expected it, Rayne took out the words that he had prepared in advance.
"Alright, I understand your difficulties… How about we both take a step back?"
Rayne smiled. "After all, I risked my life for you. If you want me to dispel my thoughts about you, Your Highness the God Consort, you should at least compensate me, right?"
The God Consort asked helplessly, "May I ask how you want me to compensate you?"
Rayne immediately said, "Let me use you again!"
The God Consort: "!!!"
Rayne persuaded the God Consort. "Once, just once will do! As long as I can use you again and experience the feeling of being one with you once more, as though I've obtained everything about you, when I'm satisfied… we'll write off everything that happened last night!"
The God Consort was in a difficult position.
She did not expect Rayne to desire her so much…
She was secretly delighted.
Originally, she wanted to settle things with Rayne completely today. However, if it was just once, it did seem...
Just as the God Consort was hesitating…
Rayne struck again.
He sneered and said leisurely, "That's already my greatest concession. If you can't even agree to that, it'll be too sad, God Consort."
Rayne continued, "Why don't… we let the entire Heavenly Kingdom know that your husband is an incompetent coward who has not undergone a normal Starburst summoning for the past ten years? As for his wife, last night, the Prince of Haines pulled out her Starburst with ease. The Starburst that should be exclusive to the God King was molded into the shape of Rayne Haines!"
The God Consort's face flushed red as she defended herself in grief and indignation. "I-I wasn't molded into your shape. The transformation of the Starburst... was just an instinctive reaction!"
Rayne smiled. "How about you explain that to your husband later?"
"Um, um…"
The God Consort was embarrassed and lamented, but she could not think of a single retort.
When Rayne saw that, he reached out with a smile and grabbed the God Consort's slender hand that was wrapped in a white silk glove.
That offensive action frightened the God Consort so much that her body trembled.
However, the God Consort did not resist. Sensing the feeling of her fingers intertwining with Rayne's, the God Consort… was momentarily infatuated.
If not for this layer of white silk, the movement of their palms would have triggered a Starburst and the God Consort would have experienced that same feeling of highness once more...
Finally.
The God Consort realized in despair that she could not reject Rayne's deal at all.
She nodded in humiliation and made a decision.
Thereafter, she looked at Rayne timidly and warned, "Just... this once. Furthermore, you must not let the God King and the Star Attendant Court…"
Rayne nodded with a smile. "Alright, I swear to the goddess that this will be the only time!"
Rayne promised, "After this is over, we'll just be ordinary friends and mind our own business, alright?"
After negotiating the terms, the God Consort relaxed a little.
She agreed softly. "Alright…"
Rayne revealed a delighted smile. "Since we've already discussed it, let's not delay any longer. Shall we set off?"
The God Consort was no longer able to resist Rayne. In the face of blackmail, she could only violate her agreement with her seniors and obey Rayne for the time being, treating him as her God King and serving him attentively.
The God Consort sighed helplessly. "Your Highness Rayne, where do you plan to use the Starburst?"
Rayne replied, "Heavenly Kingdom Knull."
The God Consort was stunned for a moment before warning, "Your Highness Rayne, the Starburst is not used to cause sibling strife in the mortal world."
When Rayne heard that, he said gently, "Calm down, Your Highness the God Consort. There's a reason why I'm heading to Knull. You should have heard about what happened to Knull recently, right?"
The God Consort replied truthfully, "Yes, I heard that there was a famine there."
Rayne said, "There was a huge loss of food and fields because they were attacked by Cloud Mayflies... What a convenient excuse. After all, those Mayflies come and go without traces.
Your Highness the God Consort, have you thought about it? What if the famine in Knull has nothing to do with the Mayflies and was purely caused by the local rulers?"
The God Consort frowned. It was not as though she had not considered this question. "However… those in power don't have such a motive. The situation in Knull has been stable recently and there's no reason for them to suddenly persecute the citizens. If King Knull only wanted to cheat Sommerfeld for help, there should be more convenient methods. The person in charge of Knull has no motive to cause a famine at all, unless… wait?!"
Suddenly…
The God Consort thought of something and her gaze turned horrified.
Under Rayne's guidance, the God Consort finally thought of the answer to her question and her voice trembled.
"They require corpses..."
"They're summoning the Evil Star..."
Rayne nodded. "Although this is only a guess without evidence between you and me, it's enough for us to make a trip, right?"
The God Consort's expression turned serious. "You're right, Your Highness Rayne."
Right now, a huge calamity was about to happen in Heavenly Kingdom Knull. Someone had to interfere.
Just like Caldera.
Once again, the God King was deceived by the calmness on the surface and did not realize the danger hidden beneath the quiet water.
In order to protect the first line of defense against Far Silence, Rayne could only clean up the mess for the God King.
The God Consort sighed. Once again, she imagined how good it would be if her God King was Rayne.
Furthermore…
The God Consort could not help but feel her body heat up at the thought that she was about to be used by Rayne.
The God Consort looked at Rayne shyly.
There is a serious crisis in Heavenly Kingdom Knull.
For the sake of the Heavenly Kingdoms and the mortal world, right now… I can only allow this man to use me once more.
Yes.
Just this once!
Once this is over, the two of us will part ways and have nothing to do with each other anymore!
At that moment, a teleportation gate opened in front of the two of them.
Rayne said, "Let's go."
The God Consort replied, "Yes."
The God Consort obediently followed Rayne into the dimensional rift.
Rayne said sincerely, "What I want is not the Starburst, but you. I've already told you, God Consort, I like you."
Rayne's words broke through the God Consort's defense once more.
