Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 53.2: Dirty Deal Between the Imperial Guards (2)

The grand prince was alarmed. "What do you mean by that?!"

The goblin spread his hands with a bitter smile. "Literally, Your Highness. It's said that Prince Rayne is a playboy and slow-witted. Therefore, if what you said is true, we're guessing that he must have received instructions from someone behind the scenes… In that case, it's obvious that the IOU is a warning to both you and us!"

The goblin continued, "Your Highness, please stop. This is for the best for all of us. Of course, we will use our own methods to retrieve your loan so far."

"Stop? Impossible!"

Gritting his teeth, the grand prince said, "I came to look for you guys so that you can resolve the problem. Yet, you guys want to quit on me?!"

The goblin said, "Your Highness, we're merchants, not gamblers. We can't find out who is behind Prince Rayne. If it's a noble or minister, we might be able to deal with him. However, what if it's the Empress? Or perhaps, even more terrifying… what if it was Miss Histia who is trying to cleanse the politics in Haines? What can you do then?"

The Empress and Histia…

At the mention of those two names, the anger on the grand prince's face dissipated slightly…

The grand prince asked, "Lilia, do you think Histia is involved in this matter?"

"No, I'm very sure."

Imperial Guard Lilia smiled. "Sister Histia is not a gentle person. If Histia was investigating this matter, you would have been torn into pieces by Sister Histia based on the accusation of you intentionally losing the battle and giving the Caines Islands to the dwarves."

The haze on the grand prince's face intensified as he forced a smile.

"You heard that, right?"

"Yes, I heard it very clearly…" The goblin seemed to be in deep thought.

He activated his magic tool and communicated with the other higher-ups…

Finally, after some consideration, the goblins arrived at their final answer.

"I've still decided to maintain my original plan, Your Highness. Gold Village won't give you any more funding."

"You cowardly beast! Don't force me!"

The grand prince was enraged. "You guys were the ones who came knocking to force me to betray my country. Now, you want to abandon me?! If you dare to mess around with me, I'll let you witness the prowess of our Haines Imperial Guards!"

Stupid green-skinned shorty!

The grand prince was enraged—didn't these goblins understand why he brought an Imperial Guard here?

"Your Highness, why are you so angry? If you stop now, you won't suffer any losses."

"I've got losses!"

The grand prince grit his teeth. "I'm going to lose the crystal throne that belongs to me!"

Goblin: "…"

The goblin fell silent.

The atmosphere turned dangerous.

The grand prince hinted to Lilia that he was ready to make a move at any moment.

At the side, Lilia Haines nodded on the surface but she was rather calm, as though it had nothing to do with her.

At that moment…

A ring on Lilia's finger suddenly lit up.

It was a messenger tool that Lilia was in possession of.

Using it, Lilia could receive orders from her superiors at any time. At the same time, she could chat with her sisters who also had rings…

Right now, the ring received a message from an Imperial Guard sister.

Hela: [Lilia, what are you doing?]

Lilia: [I'm watching the grand prince discuss business with Gold Village.]

Hela: [I knew it… you're stationed in a city with the grand prince. He'll definitely come looking for you.]

Lilia: [Don't worry, Sister Hela. Once the grand prince is done talking to these dwarves, I'll kill all the dwarves. It won't be a problem!]

Hela: [Lilia, don't get involved in this matter anymore.]

Lilia: [But the grand prince said that he will give me a Silvermoon Dragon. My little white duck hasn't had a good appetite recently. I can kill the dragon to cook tonics for it...]

Hela: […]

Hela was silent for a moment.

Thereafter, she sent a picture to Lilia.

Lilia asked curiously: [Is this a rib? It's so huge! What sort of an animal is it?]

Hela: [The ancient dragon, Obadiah.]

Lilia: [The f*ck?!?!]

Hela: [Come back immediately and don't make any more mistakes. I've got an entire storage of this stuff.]

Lilia: [!!!]

Lilia immediately closed the communication.

Without another word, she tore a dimensional rift and prepared to leave.

Immediately after, the tense tension in the stone chamber ended.

The grand prince was shocked and asked in shock, "Lilia, what are you doing?!"

Lilia waved her hand lazily. "I'm knocking off, Your Highness~"

The grand prince was dumbfounded. "Wait, are you sure you want to… knock off work at this time?!"

Lilia said, "There's no other way. My little white duck peed on the bed."

The grand prince said, "Stop right there! Stop!!!"

The grand prince roared at Lilia.

However, Lilia did not seem to have heard him at all. She hummed a song and left in a good mood.

The goblin at the side had a stern expression but his mouth was quivering.

"Your Highness…"

The goblin bit his hand and tried his best not to laugh. "The Imperial Guards of Haines are indeed... powerful. I've truly witnessed it."

The grand prince broke down.

He smashed everything he saw wildly. "Ahhhh, damn it! What in the world is happening? What's going on?!"
