Chapter 166.3: End of the Volume, Farewell to Love, End of the Sacred Test (3)

She had to race against time. She had to…

Alice dragged her severely injured body back to Rayne.

With her last bit of strength, she activated a healing forbidden curse and repaired Rayne's body completely.

After doing that, she was completely exhausted.

Alice finally became the weak girl she was at the northern border back then. She leaned weakly in Rayne's arms and sobbed continuously.

"How wonderful… Rayne… I succeeded. I saved you…"

Alice's long-cherished wish was fulfilled.

At the risk of her life, she had finally… redeemed her lover.

However, the price of this miracle was her life.

Yet, it did not matter.

She no longer had anything else she wanted.

"Rayne… I'm going to die…"

In Rayne's arms, Alice said softly, "You have to live well. You must live well. Even after I die, my ghost will always be watching you. I'll definitely… be by your side forever…"

"Rayne… I really love you so much…"

Alice's heart was filled with regret. Indeed, she could not accept her death calmly.

She still wanted to be with Rayne. She wanted to talk to Rayne, eat with him and have an affectionate relationship with him. She wanted... Rayne to put on her wedding ring and lift her white veil to become her husband.

It was fine even if she had to share Rayne's love with others!

As long as she could stay by Rayne's side and obtain his love, she would be satisfied and have no regrets in her life!

She wanted to stay by Rayne's side forever.

But...

But...

The time to part was still here in the end.

Alice felt that she was getting weaker.

Her eyes were already blurred by her tears.

Farewell forever…

Alice sobbed non-stop.

"My love…"

However, just as Alice lay in her lover's arms in peace and her consciousness gradually floated into the distance…

A basin of cold water splashed Alice awake.

It was Rayne.

He was looking at her in exasperation.

"What are you doing? Now is not the time to sleep, alright?"

Alice could barely breathe. "Your Highness… that's too much… I'm already… about to die…"

Rayne asked, "Didn't you win? Why will you die?"

"That's because… I activated the temporary crown four times. I've already…"

Before she died, Alice hugged Rayne tightly. "Your Highness… I love you… I'm so sorry… I can't be with you… or be pregnant with your child… I really… really…"

Rayne smiled bitterly and tidied Alice's messy hair helplessly.

Rayne said, "Actually, you still have the chance to. Well, regarding the upper limit of the temporary crown being four times... I was lying to you before."

Alice: "…?"

Alice sat up in shock from the verge of death.

She was dumbfounded. "Your Highness, what did you say?!"

Rayne explained, "The temporary crown can be used four times. Although the fourth time will cause your organs to fail and your soul to weaken, that's only temporary. You'll be fine after recuperating for a period of time. It will only be truly fatal if you use it five times."

Alice was shocked.

She checked her body carefully and realized that apart from being extremely weak, she did not show any signs of dying.

Rayne was telling the truth this time round!

Alice broke down. "Your Highness, you're way out of line!"

Rayne: "It's because I was worried you'll throw yourself in death's way!"

Alice, who had survived a calamity, pounced into Rayne's arms again and rubbed against him wildly. "Boohoo, Your Highness!"

After rubbing against him enough, Alice looked at Rayne resentfully. "Although I know that you did this for my own good, Your Highness Rayne, you've gone overboard this time round!"

Rayne smiled bitterly. "What should I do to appease you?"

Regarding this, Alice had long thought of what she wanted. She smiled shyly and whispered into Rayne's ear, "Tonight, Your Highness, you have to fill your exclusive milk bottle to the brim. She won't forgive you until she cries and begs for mercy!"

However, at this point…

Alice recalled something else.

Her aura weakened a little and she asked carefully, "Erm… Your Highness?"

Rayne asked, "Yes?"

Alice squirmed. "I don't think… I passed the sacred test. I just killed the Tragic Moon Queen. I probably… won't be able to be the Moonlight Queen anymore."

She looked at Rayne carefully. "Will you continue to dote on the Alice who can't be the Moonlight Queen?"

"Yes, I will."

Rayne's voice was firm as he stroked Alice's head. "Although I was on the verge of death just now, my consciousness was basically clear. When I saw you protecting me with your life and even willing to give up your life for me… how could I bear to abandon you?"

Rayne smiled. "Besides, who said that you can't be the Moonlight Queen?"

Alice: "…?"

In the end, Alice still underestimated Rayne.

Apart from her own survival, there were still other shocks awaiting Alice today.

"Ahem!"

A light cough sounded.

Not far away, the Tragic Moon Queen, who only had a head left, was carried over by a mithril corporeal body.

At that moment, there was no longer killing intent in her eyes.

There was only exasperation in them.

She sighed and said to Rayne, "I'm not a sore loser… Rayne Haines, you've won."

Rayne smiled. "In that case, will you acknowledge Alice?"

Facing Rayne's sincere gaze, the Tragic Moon Queen seemed to be pleased as the Moon Goddess revealed a smile. In fact, the faint smile on her face seemed to contain a hint of... flirtatious ambiguity.

"She and I fought an intense battle with all our might. However, she defeated me fair and square. According to the rules of the sacred test, no matter if I'm willing or not, I have to submit to her."

The Tragic Moon Queen smiled calmly and said to Alice, "My good child, although you disregarded the big picture and were selfish, deceived by a scumbag, colluded with the evil gods, had an affair with the Haines people and turned your mother into ashes with only her head left, I believe that you're still my good daughter!"

"Accept my blessings. I'll entrust Leta's future to you, you little brat."

The power of the Tragic Moon Queen and even her soul fused into Alice's body.

Soul Imprint of the Tragic Moon Queen +1.

Just like that, the seventh round of the sacred test ended.

The trial of the Moonlight Queen was over.

A new queen of Leta had already been born.

At that moment, the new Moonlight Queen sat on the spot in a daze, looking left and right, at a loss. She was so shocked by the sudden change in the situation that she was confused.

"Huh?"

"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!?!?!"
