Chapter 115.2: Your Highness, Please Use Alice to Your Heart's Content ? (2)

As long as she could complete the sacred test and pass the trials of the Leta queens, she would be qualified for the skeleton transplant and be crowned the new Moonlight Queen.

However, a tragic news arrived unexpectedly.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the meeting hall was solemn and silent.

The demigod teachers did not say anything and Alice sat upright in a perilous manner. She looked at the grim-faced Great Teacher carefully.

It was said that... the Great Teacher had bad news that she had to inform everyone present.

The Great Teacher was not in a good mood right now.

This had nothing to do with her being rejected by Rayne once more.

The matter of Rayne's capture did not give the Great Teacher any pressure. After all, Rayne's calm expression and his words before he left indicated that… everything was under his control.

Right now, the Great Teacher had no time to bother about that godly man.

That was because she had just received an edict translated by the divine priests.

The Sanctum Council that served Goddess Compassion analyzed her edict and finally translated it into a trial list for Alice.

It recorded the names of the past queens of Leta that Alice had to challenge and defeat in order for her to complete the coronation ceremony.

Although the edict was said to have come from Goddess Compassion, in reality... it was just a list put together by a few divine priests in private.

Leta's Compassion was unlike Haines' Order.

When there was nothing to do, Order would assign a few missions to the Haines people and set a few targets. In fact, she would even send Disciplinary Angels to supervise the mortal world from time to time.

However, everyone knew that Compassion had long gone dormant.

Throughout history, she had not appeared once. It was just that her power had always protected Leta in the form of the Moonlight Queen.

However, since it was a name list drawn up by the mortals themselves, it was normal for the Sanctum Council to bow down to the authority of the palace and have their edict rewritten by the Moonlight Court.

Indeed…

The Great Teacher had a grim expression as she looked at the names of the previous queens on the trial list.

"All of you, take a look."

The Great Teacher handed the name list to the various teachers.

The expressions of the few elven demigods changed drastically when they saw the name list.

The elves were dumbfounded. They could not believe that the people from the palace were so arrogant.

The difficulty of this trial was no longer at the level of just making things difficult.

The palace... was completely bent on killing Her Majesty Alice!

In Leta's thousands of years of history, there had been many Moonlight Queens born. Naturally, there were strong and weak ones.

However, the names of the past queens on the list...

It was practically a copy of the previous Leta Queens' combat strength ranking!

The names on the list were all the strongest and most virtuous Moonlight Queens.

At the end of the long list was even a shocking name.

Tragic Moon Queen.

That was the progenitor and strongest Moonlight Queen.

If it was any other past Moonlight Queens, it could still be argued that this was a test. However, when it came to the Tragic Moon Queen... it was clear that they were just waiting for Alice to die.

The expressions of the demigods darkened.

In order to maintain their authority, the despicable actions of the Moonlight Court nobles had completely betrayed their country and Leta!

They were trying to murder this final Moonlight Queen of Leta!

They knew the seriousness of the matter and understood deeply—that moment was finally about to arrive!

"Teacher, should we attack?"

"You've also said that the blood of the palace is now filthy. Since that's the case… we might as well overthrow the entire dynasty!"

"Leta can live without those nobles, but she can't survive without a Moonlight Queen!"

The Great Teacher: "…"

The Great Teacher already knew what the demigods were thinking.

Right now, the Moonlight Court was like a frightened wild beast. Fear caused them to lose their rationality and some extremists were even leading the entire group to their deaths. Their actions were getting more extreme and they had already crossed the bottom line.

However, as the final decision maker, the Great Teacher was still hesitating.

In reality, no one was more familiar than the Great Teacher with the way the palace used the edicts to make things difficult for any new Moonlight Queen that they did not think highly of.

In the past, after the Great Teacher ascended to become a demigod using the divinity of Compassion, she encountered a similarly stringent sacred test trial as well.

Back then, although the Great Teacher had a noble bloodline, the family clan she came from was weak.

Coincidentally, the daughter of the faction leader of the past was also recognized as having the qualifications to ascend to become a mithril demigod.

It was clear who should be abandoned.

Therefore, that year...

The Great Teacher caught sight of the same name at the end of her sacred test list—the Tragic Moon Queen.

To be honest, even though the teachers agreed that Alice was extremely talented and had a bright future ahead of her, she had lacked education since she was young after all, causing her to know nothing about magic and combat.

As a demigod, she was even worse than Elebella.

Even for Haines that only looked at the bloodline purity of their famous purebred dogs, they had all undergone a strict and comprehensive education before the ascension ritual.

However, what about Alice?

In her 19 years of life, the only outstanding act she could list was that she slept with the Prince of Haines…

For someone like her to challenge the strongest Moonlight Queens in Leta's history right after completing the ascension ritual, the Tragic Moon Queen included, was truly… extremely crazy.

However, of course...

This matter was not impossible to resolve.

Since the trial list was made up by the divine priests of the Sanctum Council themselves, there was naturally room for modification.

As long as the White Light Courtyard appeared and forced the priesthoods of the Sanctum Council to write another name list, that would do.

However, first, they had to face the obstruction of the Moonlight Court and even… wage war against them.
