Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 111: Brother… I Love You

Edaline could still clearly remember what happened after she entered the work cabin.

Her soul was divided and her consciousness was crushed. Her body endured immense pain and she gritted her teeth to persevere because she knew that… this was the path of survival that Rayne had desperately found for her.

However…

In the end, she still failed.

The divinity division operation seemed like it was splitting Edaline's soul at the same time. Gradually, she was unable to withstand the pain of her soul being torn apart.

Edaline fell asleep.

During this process, she had a dream.

In the dream, she turned into a god.

She was arrogant and omniscient.

She looked down at the mortal world coldly, as though she was observing a group of ants that had nothing to do with her… Then, she killed Rayne.

No!

Instantly, Edaline was jolted awake.

When her consciousness broke free from the chaos and returned to her body…

She saw something that she would never forget for the rest of her life.

What appeared before her were massive crystal clusters with a large number of silver-white crystals charging into the distance.

They froze midway and formed an extremely moving and spectacular scenery.

Within the crystals, Edaline could vaguely see her brother, Rayne Haines.

Finally, Edaline recalled…

When her consciousness was in a state of chaos, she threw out a sure-kill crystal spear—her target was Rayne!

Gradually, she recalled the feeling of the crystal spear when it was activated and when his life ended.

Without a doubt, the sure-kill crystal spear had already killed Rayne completely.

Edaline looked at Rayne who was sealed in the crystals—his eyes were closed and he had a peaceful expression. In fact, there was a hint of a smile.

It was as though he no longer had any regrets in the world.

Edaline's heart skipped a beat, as though she could hear what Rayne had said to her once more.

"You might fail, but if you lose yourself, I'll wake you up."

Rayne had fulfilled his promise.

He saved Edaline.

Using his life.

At that moment… the crystal armor on the pseudogod's body was shattering.

The silver crystal mask gradually fell off.

Eventually, a trembling and teary face appeared.

"Rayne…?"

"Rayne, can you hear me?"

With tears in her eyes, Edaline called out her brother's name softly.

However, the ark world was dead silent and she received no response.

Edaline was in despair.

Instantly, her body lost its strength, causing her to kneel on the ground dejectedly.

She did not dare to look at Rayne again. She did not dare to look at that smile that had no regrets before his death.

Rayne was dead…

In order to save her, he died.

Although she said that she would not cause trouble for her brother, it was still because of her own incompetence that she lost herself in the chaos and killed her brother personally.

Yet, her brother used his death to awaken her.

The girl knelt helplessly in front of the crystals and was already sobbing…

At that moment, she finally understood.

All along, the person who truly needed protection, care and help had never been Rayne!

It was her!

Edaline, the willful, arrogant, stupid and useless sister!

"Brother… I'm sorry… Brother…"

Edaline's voice was tragic and her heart was shattered. At that moment, her soul was filled with endless regret… why!

Why didn't she care about her brother and tell him how much she loved him right before they parted?!

However, it was already too late.

Her brother had already died for her.

Edaline could only cry helplessly with endless regret.

She knew that everything that happened today would be a pain for her for the rest of her life. She would spend the rest of her life mourning her brother and cursing her rotten self.

No… wait.

Suddenly, Edaline froze for a moment.

Since Rayne had already died for her… did she really need that so-called rest of her life?

At that moment, an impulse rose in Edaline's heart.

With trembling hands, Edaline picked up the crystal spear on the ground.

If she were to die now…

In that case, when she arrived in the netherworld, she could throw herself into her brother's embrace once more and tell Rayne in her most sincere and affectionate voice...

Brother, I'm willing to do it. If you don't have a wife to accompany you for the rest of your life… then I'll take care of you forever, brother.

That sounded... great.

However, when Edaline raised the crystal spear calmly and examined the sharp tip that could pierce the body of a demigod with ease…

A teleportation gate suddenly opened behind her—it was Thea Constance.

At that moment, Edaline shuddered.

She had never liked Constance. However, now that she saw Constance, Edaline broke down completely.

That was because Edaline had always known.

Thea Constance… had always been her brother's beloved.

Edaline stood up shakily and staggered towards Constance. Thereafter… she bumped into the latter's embrace sadly.

It was as though she had finally found a way to vent the regret in her heart.

"Constance… I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…"

The tearful Edaline repented for her sins with a trembling voice.

"Rayne, my brother, he... Brother died to save me…"

In a daze, she hugged Constance tightly and began to wail without caring about her manners, like an extremely sad child.

It was all her fault!

It was because she was useless!

In order to save her, her brother had traveled thousands of kilometers into the ancient ruins. But now… she had killed her brother personally!

Edaline hoped that her crime would incur the wrath of Constance. In fact, had no qualms about dying under the sword of Constance so that the latter could... take revenge for her brother.

However...

Constance was still as calm as ever.

She was expressionless and seemed a little helpless towards Edaline's agitated actions.

In fact...

She seemed confused.

Constance said calmly, "Edaline, Rayne is not dead."

"Eh?"

The sobbing of Edaline stopped for a moment as she looked at Constance in surprise.

Edaline said, "Then… what are you here for?"

Edaline knew that Thea had set up a spell to monitor the condition of Rayne's body—this was prepared by Constance so that she could rush over at any moment to protect Rayne if the latter was in danger.

Edaline could not understand her words. "Didn't you… come here after noticing Rayne's death?"

"No."

Constance replied indifferently.

Thea Constance said, "His Highness asked me to leave with everyone earlier on, but I left a pet behind."

"… Pet?"

"It's called Obadiah."

"The ancient dragon?"

"Yes, the one you're hugging right now, Your Highness."

The one she was hugging?

Edaline's gaze shifted to Rayne in confusion.

Thereafter…

She went silent.

The sobbing and choking stopped abruptly.

That was because when she finally regained a trace of rationality from the pain of killing her brother…

She finally noticed.

On Rayne's chest, where the crystal spear pierced and killed him...

There was a fat pig with scales that started cursing incessantly the moment he was resurrected.
