Chapter 197 – #196 Declaration of War Against the Third Empress

“Then I’ll just leave. If I’m late, the imperial palace will send someone.”

“Just sleep today like last time.”

At Bella’s words, Princess Bianca glanced at me and her cheeks blushed.

“Hmm. I’d like to, but I think staying out overnight would cause misunderstandings. Wouldn’t it be better for all of us to just keep doing it the way we are now?”

“I don’t mind, Sister Bianca.”

“Me too.”

Bianca lowered her head in response to Raina and Tanya.
Although it was only for a moment, a worried expression appeared on her face.

“… Still, it’s a bit difficult today. Instead, I’ll try to prepare to play all night on my day off this week.”

“Ohh.”

After taking her coat and straightening her clothes, Bianca stepped out of her room. She followed suit and Bella waved her hand at me.

“Then I’ll walk you to Bianca’s front door!”

“Bella. I will go with you.”

“No. Raina and Tanya, get some rest. I’m the one who will take you to my dorm anyway.”

Just like that, the two people disappeared, and I also got dressed and headed outside.

The group disperses to sleep in their respective accommodations. I secretly moved out of the academy using invisibility + soundproofing magic.

– There it is. I’m using it quite well now?

Recently I realized one ability.

It’s about my descendants, and if I focus on each of them, I can subtly feel their emotions and positions.

The emotion that Bella felt when she followed Bianca a little while ago was ‘resolution’.

That got on my nerves, so I quickly got out of Reina’s dorm. As she walked closer and quietly followed behind her, Bella stopped in an alley.

“Bianca.”

“… I’m listening.”

Princess Bianca shows tension.

It had to be that way. Right now, this place is in a deserted alley and there is no sign of popularity at all.

Moreover, the person standing in front of her is the Empire’s crazy bitch and a person with the ability to rank among the top 1% of knights in terms of combat power.

Bianca, who until recently had been hostile to her, could not help but stiffen.
Bella smiled with her only eye.

“Don’t be nervous. I brought you here for work because I have something I want to say.”

“What is it? That’s what I want to say.”

“I trust you.”

“What?”

“I am. I have a very good sense of touch. My senses tell me that you are a good girl. Especially, I know that the goodwill you show us is not a lie.”

Bella can use advanced detection magic to detect whether the opponent is lying or not.

But Bianca, who didn’t know that fact, scratched her cheek and answered.

“Thank you. For looking at me so kindly. Although I can’t prove whether it’s true or not. So, is that confession all you want to say?”

“It can’t be.”

Bella’s mood changed completely.

“My story begins now, Bianca. Before you join our party, let’s get one thing straight.”

“… What is that?”

Bianca swallowed her dry saliva at the sight of Bella suddenly having a serious look on her face.
A witch who always smiles. There are very few times when Bella with that title puts on her serious face. This probably means that what I’m talking about from now on is important.

“You probably heard what happened a while ago, but Reina chose Kale over her family. Tanya also chose Kale over her husband. And I abandoned my family and chose Kale. If my grandfather finds out about this, he will probably be upset. The whole family will be upset too.”

Bella reveals top secret information without hiding anything.

I took a quick look around.

‘Pharez, are there any listening ears around you?’

– Doesn’t exist. You don’t even need to worry because you don’t even have a familiar.

I put my gaze forward again.

Bianca closed her eyes after hearing Bella’s story.

“Does that mean… You all only work for Kale and no one else?”

“Okay.”

“The fact that you’re bringing that up to me now means you want me to do the same.”

“As expected. Unlike Raina, you are quick-witted. That’s right. Well, I’m not asking you to do that right away. However, if you’re not willing to do that, I’d like you to leave our party on your own.”

“…”

“I’m saying this because I like it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have even brought this up.”

“Clearly… I am receiving great favor from you.”

It is a very uplifting feeling to be trusted by someone who was once your enemy.

Isn’t Bella even a key figure in the 2nd Prince faction, which is the biggest obstacle to the 1st Prince faction?

“Do I choose my family, or do I choose you and Kale…”

“You don’t have to choose right away. It gives you time to think about it…”

“There is no need for that. I am Bianca Kshanberg. I am the most beautiful woman in the empire and hold the title of First Princess. There is no way I would have done something without making a choice, right?”

The higher a person’s self-esteem, the more likely they are to make their own choices about behavior.

“The day I mixed myself with Kale, I already decided. The one who will be my partner is Kale. The wife takes her husband’s last name. On that day, I already decided to dedicate my life to Kale. So don’t worry about that part. You don’t have to, Bella…”

A deep smile appeared on Princess Bianca’s lips.

“I would rather say thank you for asking the question. Thanks to you, I can focus more on Cale instead of having to be saved by you and Raina.”

“Kkekekeke. Awesome. Awesome! Everything I’m saying right now is true! Haha!”

A smile bloomed on Bella’s face again.

The two people looked at each other and showed their pure white teeth.

“Okay. Then, please take good care of me from now on, Sister-in-law!”

“Hehe. I am asking you to take care of me.”

The two people who shook hands took their steps again.

Ah! Bella raised her index finger and looked back at Bianca.

“But I suddenly have a question.”

“Whatever, but.”

“What did you see in Kale that made you decide to follow him?”

As I was about to move towards Count Ashton, I was so curious about Bella’s question that I followed her again.
Princess Bianca spoke as if it was no big deal.

“Everyone is trying to take advantage of us in any way they can. On the other hand, the only choice given to us as women is what to wear today.”

A life where you can’t eat what you want and can’t do what you want.

It wasn’t much different even for the princess.

“That’s it. I didn’t feel like Kale was trying to take advantage of me at all. She even refused to kiss me at first. That’s right. I wonder if she knows what it’s like for a woman to approach her first.”

“Oh? I thought women would just take out their dicks first, but that’s not true, right?”

“That can’t be right, Bella. Surprisingly, Kale is extremely shy.”

– That girl, even if she misunderstands something, she clearly misunderstands it.

… That’s right.

Should I manage the image again now?

“Anyway, that’s why I thought I could sacrifice my life for this person, or something like that.”

“Hmm. I see.”

Bella looked behind her with a meaningful smile.
Those eyes were looking exactly at me.

‘As expected, did he notice that I was there?’

– I guess so. You know Bella’s abilities well, right?

Bella lifted her arm and placed it on Bianca’s shoulder. Acting like an old man, Bianca rolled up her arms with her bewildered expression.
Bella raises her arms again. And she is the princess who runs to her side to avoid the witch.

“Bianca! Then, how about we celebrate being on the same boat? Would you like to have a drink with me?”

“I have to go back to the imperial palace quickly. Let’s drink next time.”

“Sleep. Stop complaining. Let’s go!”

“Hey, hey. Drop your arms. I understand. Just a little. Hey! Yaaaaa!”

… There’s no need to worry.

I was worried about whether he would fit in well as he had just joined as a new member, but when I saw that he was not fighting and that he had a strong faith in me, I could see that he had a strong faith in me.

‘Then, since the work has been completed well, I should go and give you a nice word.’

– Oh, oh. Are you finally responding?

Yes.

If you touch my woman, she will pay the price.
Even if it is his family.

– What are you going to do? In order, you can’t touch it yet, right?

‘I guess I should give you a warning first. It’s like a declaration of war.’

Next day. Despite my women’s affection, I moved my feet after leaving the sex party a little early.

The place I was heading to was Suryeonggung.

Sulyeon Palace, located to the west of the imperial palace, was famous for its abundance of flowers that matched the color of the owner’s hair.

Although it was late fall and the water lilies in the pond had withered, the azaleas scattered here and there were turning nearly a quarter of the palace into pink.

“If you need anything, please let me know.”

The maid who guided me left. About an hour has passed since then. Soon a woman wearing a dazzling pink dress came in and smiled.

It was Victoria Kshanberg, the owner of the training palace here and the third wife of the emperor.

“It’s been a while, Count. I didn’t expect you to accept my invitation. What about Raina?”

“He won’t come out. I told him not to come out.”

Empress Victoria smiled her eyes.

“Is it because it’s inconvenient to call them in one place? If I had known that would happen, I should have called them separately sooner.”

“Certainly, if you had done that, you could have met me earlier. Of course, it may not have been easy for Victoria, who is anxious.”

“It seems like there is a thorn in your words. Is it because of my mood? Hehe.”

“It’s not my fault. I’m very angry with Victoria right now.”

“… That’s interesting.”

I heard that she had an impatient personality, but I could see the Empress’s forehead and cheeks twitching slightly as if that wasn’t just an empty remark.
Victoria stirred the inside of her teacup with a teaspoon. It seemed like a way for her to cool down her emotions.

“You said you were angry… Yes. What is the reason?”

“That day. I saw Princess Reina crying in her alley.”

“…”

“I can’t forget what happened that day.”

Empress Victoria’s hand stopped.

The pretentious smile that was on his lips had already disappeared.

“It looks like our Reina… Has become quite precious to the Count. I’m glad.”

“It would have been great if that happy event could have extended to the family.”

Silence fell.

Perhaps sensing my hostility, a short sigh escaped the Empress’ mouth.

My eyes were staring directly into the Empress’s eyes. The Empress’s eyes moved from side to side, as if she was looking for a way to overcome the current situation.

– Oh, oh. Are you still making fun of her during this time? If you’ve waited this long, there’s no need to look any further.

I know. If you don’t think of Raina as just one of her shoguns, you should have made an apology or excuse right away.

Or, on the contrary, get angry.

However, as she was thinking about ‘how should I behave wisely?’, I could not see any affection for her daughter.
It just felt like the nobles treated the commoners like livestock or tools.

A tool for the imperial throne.

I don’t think I’ll get a good answer if I wait any longer, so I broke the silence first.

“But why is it like that?”

“Hmm?”

“I know that they are trying to get Reyna and me involved in a fight for the throne. But Victoria, you also know who has the lowest chance of winning among those with the right to succeed to the throne.”

The 4th Empress has no son.

In fact, the weakest among those currently competing for the throne is the Third Empress herself.

Since the gap with the second place was so enormous and the prince was too young to enter the academy, the normal route was for her to give up her right to succeed to the throne and secure her safety.

“But why do you insist on the right to succession to the throne? I need to know why.”

“Hehe. If I tell you the reason, will you be my strength?”

“At least things will get better than now. Victoria is like an enemy to me right now.”

“… Then there is no other choice. The reason is simple.”

The Third Empress’s face became grim.

A lot of murderousnesses bloomed in her eyes.

“Angelica and Vivian. This is to put pressure on those two bitches who treated me like trash.”

– Hehe. I wondered what this sister’s desire was, and it ended up being this?

It’s a combination of revenge and lust for power… Indeed. Since it was an extremely personal desire, it was not worth mentioning her family.
If this is the case, there can be no family love.

He probably had a strong feeling that even his love for his son was a necessity for revenge rather than affection.

‘That’s interesting. Things are going to be quite interesting.’

– Tsk tsk tsk. That’s right.

Perez read my thoughts and laughed frivolously.

I stood up and stretched out my arms to the Empress, who was tilting her teacup to calm her excitement.

“It’s revenge… I can sympathize with you. But if it’s such a personal matter, is there really a need to connect me and Raina?”

“Whoa. Count. Do you know what the 1st and 2nd Empress want most? That their son becomes emperor, and that they reign over him.”

“The best revenge is to destroy and take away the dream that the other person wanted so much. Well, I guess that’s what it means.”

“That’s right. My child, who they always looked down on and looked down on, is now standing in the place they dreamed of. Hehe. Just thinking about it makes me very, very happy!”

– Oooh. Aslan. The gay sister’s desire that makes her whole body tingle is real. It’s a wonder she didn’t summon a demon. How on earth did you survive?

You have survived in the imperial palace so far.

In this place where the survival rate is as high as a battlefield, it is impossible to live simply by relying on emotions. This is only possible if you have a cool-headed mind.

Her desire was clearly strong and strong, but her rational thinking would have somehow prevented her from summoning demons.
I went around the tea table and took a step towards the Empress.

“Well, if it’s that kind of revenge, I have a good way. The success rate is overwhelmingly higher than now, and the risk is very low.”

“Interesting. What is the method, Count? For your information, I have no intention of modifying the results of my revenge.”

“There is no need to correct it. If I do it the way I do, Empress 1 and 2 will fail to crown her emperor, and the 3rd Empress, Her Highness Victoria, will become the next emperor.”

“Wow. Just listening to it makes me feel perfect.”

Victoria said it was not a joke, it felt perfect, and she was expressing that feeling with her whole body.
I smiled brightly as I took a step closer to her.

“On the contrary, the price is a bit high.”

“It’s a price… Hehe. In a way, it’s natural. The world is fair. Low risk and high success rate require a high price.”

A deep smile appeared on the Empress’s lips.

“Count. It’s like you’re testing me. Will you do anything for revenge?”

“That’s right. I’ll take her at her word. Are you willing to do anything to avenge her, Victoria? Even if it means giving everything she has?”

There was no need to worry.

Empress Victoria’s mouth immediately moved.

“Of course. Even if it brings me destruction, I will accept it if it can bring about my revenge.”

“You have a good attitude. I understand. I will help you avenge Victoria. Instead, I would like to receive compensation first. That way, we can talk faster.”

“Yes, of course. So what is the price?”

I reached out my hand and grabbed the Empress’s large breasts.

Mulkyung.

“… Eh?”

It’s so big that you can’t even fit it in your hand.

It was truly enormous. I felt like this would be enough to completely cover my dick.

“Count. What are you doing now…”

Even the texture was amazing considering how much good food I usually ate.

Beyond soft, it’s squishy.

Five fingers were buried in that soft fat. The feel of the nipple, which gradually became hard in the palm of my hand while being soft like a marshmallow, was truly exquisite.

The Third Empress’s body froze in embarrassment, so I smiled brightly while continuously massaging the breasts of the Third Empress, who freely gave me her upper body.

“The price is simple: the Empress’s body.”

“What?”

“You do anything I tell you to do… When I tell you to stick out your ass, you stick out your butt, and when I tell you to spread your legs, you spread your legs… Well, that’s right! To put it simply, if you become my sex slave, I will take revenge on you. And completely!”

Third Empress Victoria’s mouth dropped open.
