Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 119: Breaking Moon Queen

At the venue of the sacred test ceremony.

After an intense battle…

The soul of the Breaking Moon Queen was burned away. The blood light and sword qi around her dissipated as though she had fallen from grace and turned into a mortal instantly.

Anguish Bane fell limply to the ground as well, its scarlet blade gradually dimming.

Victory was finally decided between Alice and the Breaking Moon Queen.

"I've lost…"

The Breaking Moon Queen said.

The Breaking Moon Queen seemed to have calmed down after she destroyed everything before her in her rage and was completely exhausted.

She looked up at Alice. There was no longer anger in her eyes, only fatigue.

She did not get hysterical or break down in the face of failure. She did not have any admiration for Alice either.

She was merely extremely calm and accepted reality.

"You did well, newcomer…"

The Breaking Moon Queen panted softly and her voice was already extremely weak. "You're the first new queen to defeat me. This is the glory of your life. According to the rules, I'll grant you my blessings after this and fight for you."

However, at that moment, the Breaking Moon Queen changed the topic.

"However, before that, there's something I don't understand."

The Breaking Moon Queen's fingertips touched Alice's shoulder gently. The forbidden curse incantations on the Breaking Moon Queen's body lit up and a detection spell was activated instantly, searching through Alice's soul and divinity.

Finally, the Breaking Moon Queen could see Alice's interface clearly.

It was as she had guessed.

Right now, Alice was nothing but an extremely talented cripple.

Thereafter, a question arose.

"This should be the first time we've met. However, why does it seem like you've seen through me completely?"

Alice did not dare to lie to a late queen of Leta.

"Someone told me the method to defeat you, Your Majesty Breaking Moon."

"Fufu, indeed…"

"So, will you still acknowledge me?"

When the Breaking Moon Queen heard that, she sneered.

"Recognition? What a joke. I was defeated by you. Do you still need my recognition?"

With that said, the Breaking Moon Queen picked up the fallen Anguish Bane and handed it to Alice.

"Take it. Didn't you want it?"

Alice was flattered. "But… isn't this your favorite sword?"

The Breaking Moon Queen laughed. "After defeating quasigods, I'll dismantle them and use their blood as sacrifice. Their bones and flesh will be used to forge weapons and their souls will be dedicated to the goddess. In my opinion, the losers are only worthy of being harvested and will offer everything to the victors without holding back. And now... it's my turn."

"I've decided. I'll entrust everything to you. My soul, my strength and this Anguish Bane."

The Breaking Moon Queen let out a hearty smile.

"In official terms, this should be called… soul binding, right?"

Alice was extremely surprised. "Yes…"

Soul binding.

That was the highest level of blessing from a late queen.

Ordinary blessings came in the form of an imprint on the new queen after the late queen's defeat. Through a special ability of Compassion's divinity, the new queen could make use of the imprint to create an incarnation of the late queen when necessary.

However, such blessings were incomplete.

Not only was the power of the summoned incarnation limited, the will of the late queen would not have any additional interactions with the new queen either.

However, it was different for soul binding.

The late queen would fuse her soul and divinity directly into the new queen's body—that was the most perfect blessing.

However, when she heard that suggestion...

Alice panicked.

She averted her gaze and asked awkwardly, "Erm… does that mean that you intend to possess me?"

"Sort of."

The Breaking Moon Queen was stunned. "Isn't that the case for all Moonlight Queens?"

Actually… the word 'possession' used by Alice was not entirely accurate.

Soul binding was not meant for the late queens to assimilate Alice.

This was more similar to the relationship between the Great Teacher and the quasigods in her body. They would just watch and chat everyday and would be released from time to time to fight.

It was them awakening from slumber and entrusting their souls to the new queen.

This was the highest level of blessing that a Moonlight Queen could give the new queen.

That was because this meant that the late queens would accompany the new queen for life.

If they had not met a junior that they truly loved, the late queens would definitely not do this.

Alice should feel honored.

Not only did she defeat the Breaking Moon Queen, the latter was even convinced to the extent that she was willing to hand over her precious soul as a blessing.

However…

That was the most fatal part!

As a lewd Empress who had an improper relationship with a human prince, Alice did not dare to let this late queen watch her daily life!

Furthermore, due to the characteristic of soul binding, Alice's five senses, everything she experienced and her emotions would even be transmitted to the Breaking Moon Queen!

Alice panicked.

"Erm… well… actually…"

The Breaking Moon Queen frowned. "What are you stuttering for? Speak your mind!"

Alice wanted to speak but stopped. If the Breaking Moon Queen's soul were to enter her body, the blessing would indeed be stronger, but...

Didn't that mean that her affair with His Highness Rayne would be made known to the other Moonlight Queens?!

Alice lowered her voice and said shyly, "Actually, Your Majesty… my private life is very messy… you won't like it…"

"Oh, that's normal. Everyone has some unspeakable interests."

The Breaking Moon Queen laughed. "In fact, let me tell you, I love to abuse my power and punish prisoners of war in private! Tortured souls are the most suitable to be used as sacrifices for my sword."

"N-No…"

Those were completely different matters!

Alice looked shy.

Most of the time, it was not a matter of interest. If Breaking Moon were to enter her body, she would… she would...!

However, it did not matter if Alice resisted.

The Breaking Moon Queen could no longer be bothered to waste her breath on Alice.

Her taking a fancy to Alice had nothing to do with Alice herself.

Therefore, without waiting for Alice's permission, the Breaking Moon Queen stuffed Anguish Bane into her hands.

Thereafter, through the sacred test ceremony, she turned herself into an imprint completely and transferred it onto Alice's body.

The Breaking Moon Queen's corpse fell slowly to the ground.

On Alice's chest, a small shimmering silver-white tattoo appeared.

With that, the first round of the sacred test was over.

Alice defeated the Breaking Moon Queen and obtained the recognition of the latter.

The silent audience burst into enthusiastic cheers.

She had won!

The new Moonlight Queen, Alice, defeated the tyrant, Breaking Moon, in the first round of the sacred test with perfection!

Since when was there a new queen as formidable as such in Leta in the past few hundred years?!

The shock in the hearts of the audience turned into ecstasy.

They stood up one after another and shouted Alice's name excitedly, offering their warmest congratulations to their queen.

The crowd was like a tsunami and it was extremely spectacular.

On the other side.

With a smile, Alice waved to the audience and received their cheers.

However, her smile seemed a little forced.

The elven Empress pushed down her dress expressionlessly with her petite hands.

It's coming out!!!

Alice felt extremely shy.

Everything was leaking out...
