Chapter 3: Dreamland
Regarding Constance, if Rayne had to describe her in a single sentence, she would probably be this:
When asked to change positions during sex, she was the type of person who would just push up her glasses and answer with a straight face, "Yes, I understand."
Even among the inhumane Imperial Guards, she was also famous for her coldness and rigor.
Extremely obedient and capable of execution, she could be considered as a heroine among the tools.
However, no matter how useful Constance was, she was still just a single person.
After a thousand deaths, Rayne finally recognized the current situation. If it was just him and Constance, there should be no hope of clearing the game.
If he wanted a better outcome, he had to obtain more powerful chess pieces.
With no other choice, Rayne could only attempt to work with the Imperial Guards once more.
Yet, coercion and bribery were useless against the Imperial Guards. However, Rayne now had another idea.
Perhaps, this was the answer for the Imperial Guards to pledge their fealty to the Emperor.Before long, Rayne and Constance arrived at the most famous gold squandering cave in the capital.
[Dreamland]
This was a majestic palace that was grand and extravagant. Just by passing by, one could smell a mesmerizing fragrance coming from within.
The wealth amassed from rich merchants all over the world over the years made this degenerate love nest even more spectacular. In fact, it could even compete with the imperial palace next door.
In the fountain at the front square of the palace stood a statue of a succubus with an enchanting figure.
Although she was made of tough rocks, she was sculpted in a life-like manner like a young girl's skin and her vertical pupils were filled with emotions, as though she could speak.
This dragon succubus that symbolized evil and depravity was looking at the imperial palace on the other end with a smile, seemingly provocative and seductive.
The name of the sculpture was Olivia and it was named after the evil god of the Nether Realm who was in charge of lust and enjoyment.
This was also the most famous attraction of the capital of Haines.
How laughable.
Rayne sneered. "The wonder of my Empire is actually a brothel."
Visiting a brothel was a cultural activity that rich people in the capital loved to experience.
However, Rayne had never been there before.
The nobles of the Haines Empire were mostly descendants of goddesses and were candidates to be nurtured as Imperial Guards. Although they loved to indulge in pleasures as well, they placed great emphasis on the backgrounds of their partners.
Therefore, they preferred incestuous relationships within their private circles.
The Rayne of the past was no exception.
However, Rayne's visit to the Dreamland today had nothing to do with seeking pleasure.
Rayne said, "You can move around freely first. I'll call you in later."
In fact, Rayne's request was extremely overboard.
An Imperial Guard's womb was a strategic resource for the Empire and the Orthodoxy Church would not allow the Imperial Guards to fool around outside.
Places like the Dreamland were even more forbidden.
Because of that, Constance reminded, "Your Highness, the Imperial Guards have to abstain from lust."
However, Rayne did not care. "This is an order."
Constance: "…"
After a moment of silence, she finally relented.
"... I understand,"
Just like that, Constance was left behind. Rayne tidied his collar and walked into Dreamland nervously.
