Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 228: Eternal Night Queen's Request

She took off her armor and saber.

She put on gloves to cover her sharp claws.

The efficiency of the Haines Empire was truly terrifying. She had just arrived in Haines this afternoon and saw ten sets of gowns tailored for her by the human maidservants by night.

However, she realized in despair that the dresses were either too long or too short.

Otherwise, they would bind her legs tightly like torture tools

Did she really have to choose from them?

Furthermore, there were a few strange shoes with slender heels for unknown intentions

She really did not know how those demigods could move at high speeds with such things on.

The human maidservants had somehow managed to groom her tail meticulously, making it softer and fluffier with a beautiful luster. It was sprayed with perfume and even tied with a ribbon.

That was good, apart from the fact that it made her feel like a dog.

As though they could sense her displeasure, the maidservants hurriedly took out her armor and asked tactfully if she wanted to change back to her original attire.

She shook her head in rejection.

Thereafter, at her request, the maidservants continued to dress up as this queen with a divine appearance like the Imperial Guards according to their past habits of serving the royal family.

Therefore, she looked at herself as though she was wrapped in a cocoon, causing her threat level to be reduced continuously thanks to these meticulous and unfamiliar processes.

Gradually, she became docile and beautiful.

After finishing their work, the maidservants looked at her with emotional gazes, as though they had discovered the greatest work of art in the world.

The grand banquet to welcome her in the Haines palace was about to begin.

As the star of the show, the Eternal Night Queen looked at herself in the mirror expressionlessly.

Right now, she had lost all her wildness and was no longer as feral and ferocious as before.

However, she was blindingly beautiful.

In fact, it was close to the point of being seductive...

In the corner of the dressing room lay an old wolf with grayish-white fur. The old wolf's eyes flickered with extremely human-like surprise as an old voice sounded from its throat.

"Leader I didn't expect to see you in a gown and high heels one day before I die."

""

"If our clansmen see you as such, they'll probably be so shocked that they'll doubt the world, right?"

""

"After all, apart from being the queen of the wolf pack, you're also the most beautiful female wolf in the history of the pack. Ha, believe me, that's what everyone thinks. It's just that they don't dare to say it in front of you."

""

"You're talking about the ear problem? Hmm, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this topic However, leader, please forgive me for being nosy. Is there really a need for you to go so far?"

""

"Is this the only way to express our sincerity?"

""

"Yes, I understand. Asking for help from the Empress of Haines is already our only choice"

""

"Leader"

The second day after Rayne returned to Haines, a grand banquet was held in the palace.

The star of this banquet was the Eternal Night Queen from a neighboring country.

The Wolf Queen, Hedwig.

She had a famous title.

The divinity creature that posted the greatest threat to the Haines Empire.

She was the strongest divinity creature in the neighboring countries of Haines. The rule of the vampires over Eternal Night for thousands of years was shattered by her personally. Furthermore, it was said that in order to stop the resurrection of her immortal enemies, she devoured 11 True Ancestors in a literal sense.

She was the strongest Wolf Queen who had already lived for 300 years.

This Wolf King was rather famous in Haines.

After knowing about the visit of the Wolf Queen, the officials and nobles were prepared to welcome the most ferocious wild beast in the mortal world before attending the banquet.

However

When they really met this Wolf Queen, everyone only felt endless amazement.

In the impression of most Haines people, werewolves were a group of dirty and ferocious man-eating beasts in human skin. In fact, most of the time, they did not even bother to disguise their human appearance and acted in the form of giant wolves.

However, this Wolf Queen was completely different.

She was simply... as beautiful as a goddess.

As a divinity creature, the Wolf Queen was the same as demigods. She had a divine appearance that made mortals feel inferior and could not help but kowtow in submission.

She looked very thin and did not exude strength that a wild beast should have at all.

Thanks to the powerful regeneration ability of the werewolves, the Wolf Queen had incomparably tender and fair skin despite her immense battle experience

Under the light of the fishtail dress, her skin was revealed and shone with a delicate luster, like warm jade.

It was unimaginable how wonderful it would feel to hold such a warm and charming being in one's arms.

Apart from that fluffy and soft black tail, that face and body were no different from humans.

In fact, even the iconic wolf ears of the werewolves did not exist on her.

Instead, it was a pair of delicate human ears hidden under her long, black and smooth hair.

She was dignified, quiet and even a little shy and reserved.

She was absolutely fascinating

The legendary Wolf Queen sat in her seat without saying a word. Beside her, an old wolf was chatting happily with the Empress in her place.

The old giant wolf beside her was her "Wolf Throat". It was in charge of observing the Wolf Queen's expression and guessing her intentions before conveying her thoughts.

That's right, the Wolf Queen could not speak.

She could only communicate with the outside world through the Wolf Throat.

Therefore, just like that

At the side, the Wolf Throat spoke eloquently on behalf of the Wolf Queen. The latter looked at Empress Cassius with a smile and communicated with her with her eyes.

As a VIP, the seat of the Wolf Queen was beside Empress Cassius.

In the other seat beside Cassius was another peerless beauty.

The beauty swirled her wine glass, her eyes filled with both disappointment and nostalgia.

It was Histia.

"This is pretty much our highest level of defense"

On the other side of the banquet, Edaline sat with Rayne and whispered to him, "In order to entertain that werewolf, she specially called Histia back. Cassius really thinks highly of that female wolf."

Rayne replied indifferently, "Didn't everyone say that she's the most dangerous divinity creature around Haines?"

Edaline asked, "So, there's a monster that only Histia can stop living next door to our house? To think that they could even sleep at all."

"However"

Edaline looked at the way the Wolf Queen cut the steak in front of her with a knife and fork and took small bites to eat and lamented.

"I keep getting the feeling that this Wolf Queen is so obedient that... it's fine to even raise one in our home."

Rayne said, "Take it easy, sister. They can hear you."

Edaline laughed nonchalantly.

So what if they heard it?

She was praising the Wolf Queen.

Even if the Wolf Queen was angry, Edaline could fight her. She was even more open to that.

However

Looking at her humble and respectful appearance, it would probably not be easy to successfully anger her and take the opportunity to fight her.

Edaline asked curiously, "So, Rayne is this Wolf Queen usually like this as well?"

Rayne asked, "Don't you know?"

Edaline shrugged. "Histia has always been in charge of liaison with Eternal Night. This is also the first time I've seen her in person."

There were many troubles waiting for Edaline to deal with in the mortal world. However, Eternal Night was not under her jurisdiction.

"Of course, the Wolf Queen is naturally not so quiet and cute all the time. She's merely using this method to express her goodwill."

Rayne told the truth calmly in the face of his sister's request. "Actually, the Wolf Queen has a favor to ask of us."

Edaline continued to ask, "Tell me, what can she ask of us? So much so that she has to change her appearance to interact with us?"

Rayne naturally knew the answer to that question.

However, the answer was something that would not be pleasant if it was said aloud in front of the Wolf Queen.

Rayne said, "Give me your hand."

Edaline: "Yes"

Edaline handed her hand to Rayne obediently.

Rayne did not say anything else.

He merely opened Edaline's palm silently and wrote on it.

Eternal Night, plague, famine and wolf pack riots.

Edaline seemed to understand.

Eternal Night was a human Empire ruled by werewolves.

To these human Empires that did not have divine blood and could not produce demigods, in an extreme sense, the arrival of divinity beings was inevitable and necessary.

The Wolf Queen, Hedwig, was the strongest leader since the birth of the wolf pack and was the only werewolf who could kill the True Ancestors.

After she defeated the violent vampires and liberated the humans of Eternal Night from the clutches of the vampires and ruled Eternal Night in place of the Vampire Queen

In order to repay the humans who fought with her, the Wolf Queen issued a strict ban, causing the wolf pack to abstain from hunting humans. In this way, the werewolves and humans could get along peacefully and benefit from each other, allowing Eternal Night to develop with prosperity.

This should have been a good tale between wild beasts and humans. However, there was a sharp contradiction beneath the beautiful legend.

In the end, werewolves still had to eat meat. Furthermore, they loved the meat of humans the most.

But now, a calamity had happened.

The outbreak of the plague caused all the livestock in Eternal Night to die in a short period of time.

The wolf pack would soon lose the food that provided for them.

By the time the famine arrived, this wolf pack that had already reached five digits in numbers thanks to the stable development of 300 years would carry out a massacre that could destroy the entire country of Eternal Night.

That was the purpose of the Wolf Queen's visit to Haines.

She was already at her wits' end and desperately hoped to obtain the help of this strongest Empire in the mortal world.

However, when faced with the almost pleading gaze of this unruly Wolf Queen for the sake of her country

The smile of Rayne's mother, Empress Cassius, was a little conflicted.

She seemed to be hiding some...

Indescribable secret...
