Chapter 202 – #201 4th Empress Scarlet Kshanberg
“Ugh. Ugh. Ugh…”
Midnight when the moonlight falls quietly.
A strange voice rang out from the back room of Count Ashton, the residence of Leopold and Sia.
It was a space with a warm energy like a summer day and hyacinths, a blue flower, all over the walls.
In the center of there, on a long sofa, a man and a woman were having passionate lovemaking.
The elf sat on top and pounded the rice cake mill, and I took in the breasts bobbing up and down underneath.
Jjibobjjibob. Jjibobjjibob.
The elf with scars all over his body shook his hips even more vigorously at my words.
We explored each other’s lips as if we had made a promise, and the act soon ended with pure white liquid pouring down from the weeping joint.
“Squeeze… Sigh. Was it okay, Master?”
“Yes. It was really nice for the first time in a while, Serendi.”
Serendiya stands up from her seat with a smile on her face. She soon got down on her knees between my crotch and started cleaning my dick with her mouth.
Tsk. Chuuup. Tsk. Tsk.
‘Whew. It’s a nice view.’
A beautiful woman of a different race sits on top of me, shaking her hips and sucking my dick.
Although she claimed to be my slave and actually behaved like one, the woman who was now carefully cleaning my things with her lips and tongue was an expert with the skills of a sword master.
Even in this large empire, there are only a few people who can deal with her.
There would be only a few people in an entire era who could receive sexual services from such a person.
Serendiya, who had cleaned up my dick, came and sat down next to me.
Other women would have folded their arms, but she carefully laid my body down, as if she had not lived 900 years in vain.
As a result, I naturally pillowed my head on her thighs.
“If… My legs are hard, and you feel uncomfortable, please let me know.”
“No. Serendi, your legs aren’t that strong normally. Is it because you’re an elf?”
“Of course, there are racial characteristics, but that’s because the muscles are developed in that way. In normal times, the muscles are flaccid, but only expand when strength is applied. This is because elves who are in charge of battle are often agile and need quick agility.”〈 Br〉
I understood what they were saying, but it was still a truly amazing body.
She’s stronger than Tanya, but she’s softer, and her flesh smells like flowers.
After smelling her thighs for a moment, I lifted my head and Serendiya placed her breasts on my face.
“Hmm? Maybe it wasn’t enough? Do you want to do more?”
“No. After ejaculating, the master always touches her breasts…”
“Now it’s okay to pretend.”
I really like it.
Making Serendiya my person was truly a choice I had no regrets.
“Okay. As for the Assassin King? Any news?”
Serendiya nodded her head, playing with my hair.
“Yes. According to those who were part of the assassination guild, there are times when news is delayed, sometimes taking 4–5 months. Instead, they said that when he appears again, he always brings a big case.”
“That means…”
“It looks like they are planning something.”
“Nothing expected?”
“If you look at the history so far, I think there will probably be something for humans to fight about.”
Hmm. It’s an incident that the people of the empire could fight over…
Could it be that it has something to do with the battle for the throne?
I had that thought for a brief moment, but quickly dismissed it. If that had been the case, we would have been active here in the capital.
“Anyway, if you enter this city, you will definitely be captured by us. So, you don’t have to worry about Amelia.”
“Okay. If you’re that confident, there’s no need to worry.”
I got up and stood up. After receiving the report and enjoying it well, I was thinking of moving on.
Serendiya immediately brought my clothes and helped me get dressed.
“But Serendi, there’s one thing I’m curious about.”
“Yes, please say so.”
“From your perspective, would I be able to fight in close combat against someone as skilled as you?”
“Are you asking whether you can increase your chances of winning?”
“That’s right. I’m asking if I can win.”
A moment of silence followed.
I thought I knew why I couldn’t answer easily.
“Tell me calmly. Don’t worry about my feelings. It’s important.”
“… To be honest, your head will fly off in 0.1 second.”
“As expected… I guess so.”
It wasn’t much different from what I thought, so I agreed.
After getting dressed, I carefully walked out of the villa. It was summer inside the building, but outside it was filled with cool autumn air.
“Then I’ll come back later.”
“Yes. If you are not busy, please stop by often.”
Serendiya kissed me and then stepped back with a shy look on her face.
It was a cute act that made it hard to believe that she was once the person who oversaw the defense of the elves and was dispatched here as governor.
I waved my hand and immediately left Count Ashton.
‘Do you think it would be okay to visit Fellhound at this time?’
– Ah. Don’t worry. Because we demons don’t sleep. Rather, that philosophy pervert guy would be more excited to have someone to talk to, right?
And that was true.
As soon as I entered Kael’thas Crareth’s mansion, a slinking figure appeared from the shadows on the right.
1st place in the Demon World hierarchy excluding the Demon King. A high-ranking demon in charge of 1/5 of the demon world who is one step ahead of all dukes.
The 1st Demon Duke Felhound gently raised his monocle and greeted.
“Are you here, Baron? No, I guess I should call you Count now.”
“I’m sorry for coming to you so late.”
“No. Rather, I waited every day to see when you would come.”
“Yes?”
“If I give you what I promised, I too will be able to get what I want quickly.”
Recently, he was showing interest in the mystery of two souls in one body.
In response, I promised Fellhound to arrange a meeting with Icecrown Prince Freyr. What I agreed to receive in return was an arrangement with the 4th Empress.
“Is there a way?”
“Heh. Are we discussing methods now?”
The fell hound’s eyes flashed.
Even though there was no wind, the hem of the dress fluttered.
“If there is no other way, I will kidnap the 4th Empress, erase her personality, or create a puppet and place her in charge, so don’t worry. If that is not enough, I will take action myself and place the 4th Empress’s forces under your command.”
“Ah, yes…”
This demon is serious about something. It’s a bit scary.
– Tsk tsk tsk. We will do anything to achieve our desires!
“… So what did Felhound prepare?”
***
“Stop. Who are you?”
Early morning.
I quickly opened my eyes at the sound coming from outside the carriage.
Soon the coachman’s voice was heard.
“This is the Earl of Cranberry. He has come to educate the two princesses.”
Okay. The plan that Fellhound prepared to make arrangements with the 4th Empress was extracurricular study.
He had been responsible for the education of the royal family under the false identity of Kaeltas Crares, and he used that position to recommend me as a tutor like him.
In fact, being in charge of the education of the royal family is a very honorable thing, but it is also very demanding, and it is a task that cannot be taken on easily even if you are a count. However, as my reputation has soared infinitely recently, the problem has naturally been resolved.
The voices of the guards coming from outside were filled with politeness.
“Yes. Confirmed. Please go in.”
All right. All right.
The carriage that had stopped was moving again. When the movement stopped, and I got off the carriage, a maid was showing courtesy.
“Greetings. I am Soel, the maid of honor to the 4th Empress Scarlett Kshanberg. Do you Count Cranberry, the hero of Florian?”
“Okay.”
“I will take you there. Please come this way.”
She moved her feet carefully, following her maid.
She felt familiar with the road.
When I thought about why that was the case, the road I took recently… It was on the way to the residence of the Third Empress Victoria.
“Is it correct to go to where Scarlett is?”
“I heard that the Count has been to Victoria’s training palace before. Scarlett’s residence is right below it.”
After hearing the story, she said that there were two empress palaces, one in the west and the other in the east.
It was a structure with the residences of the 1st and 2nd Empresses, respectively, to the east, and the residences of the 3rd and 4th Empresses to the west.
“It’s on the right here.”
I stood at the crossroads and looked left and right.
Indeed. Two huge palaces were divided based on where they stand now.
– Coming this far reminds me of the cow’s mother. Let’s eat later when it’s over!
‘Arthur. Even though the Empress wants to meet her, she is not something that can be easily met.
No matter how noble you were, if you wanted to meet the royal family, you had to contact them in advance to make the meeting happen.
Of course, I had no intention of doing something like that in the current situation when everyone’s attention was focused on me.
“Please wait here for a moment.”
The maid who escorted me to the outdoor garden politely bowed out.
When she sat down with her butt on the tea table in front of her and looked around, there were a lot of blue flowers around her.
For a moment, there were so many that I thought I had entered Serendiya’s lodgings by mistake.
It seems that each empress palace had a concept.
– Oh. Then, as expected, this empress…
‘It must be blue hair. ‘Maybe.’
– What, like those kids?
Huh? I turned my head to where Perez was talking.
Two children were hiding behind a round, waist-high tree, watching me.
Their hair color was really blue, a deep blue different from Florian’s emerald color.
Judging by the outfits they were wearing and the cuteness flowing, it was 100% clear that these were the two princesses I had chosen to educate this time.
When I raised my hand and waved, the two children looked at each other and carefully came out.
“Greetings. I am the Earl of Cranberry.”
“Cranberry? Does he really Count Cranberry? Florian’s hero?”
“Ah, yes. That’s what the fortress is called too.”
This is what fame is good for.
The faces of the two princesses, who were 12 and 10 years old respectively, had expressions full of innocence.
Usually, children this age are too wary and have a hard time opening up, but just because of my reputation, a bond has already formed between the two children and me.
And after barely saying hello, the kids came around me and started taking their seats. For some reason, I had a good idea of what kind of request they would make.
“Tell me a story.”
“I want to hear what happened in Florian.”
“Haha. I’ll tell you the story. But can you listen from a little distance?”
Was my reputation better than I thought? Now the two princesses were snuggling against my chest, their eyes shining brightly.
I tried to throw the two princesses away because I would never hear good things about them if this appearance caught anyone’s attention.
But it was no use.
“You can’t run away until I tell you the whole story. Hold on tight to Wendy.”
“Yes. Don’t leave her there either.”
Two princesses entangling my body with each limb. Their behavior, like cicadas hanging from a tree, was like their strong will to never let go.
But who am I?
He is a person who taught and interacted with numerous royal family members and nobles at the Imperial Academy. For me, it was no task to educate these two reckless children.
“Now that I think about it, this is Jan, and this is Wendy.”
“That’s right. We saw each other for the first time today. How do I know your name?”
“Rumors are spreading outside the imperial palace. They say you two are beautiful, pretty, and very intelligent.”
“Really?”
Of course it’s false.
Their names came from something I suddenly heard when Raina was talking about her four empresses.
In fact, they didn’t know which of the two was Jan and which was Wendy, but they easily deduced it through their conversation earlier.
“Sister. I guess we’re famous.”
“I always say that. We have a beauty that can never be lacking.”
It was a bit funny and cute to see a 10- or 12-year-old talking about her good looks, but anyway, now that she had been blown away, it was time to give her a serious blow.
“But these two people break the rules of etiquette and behave so recklessly… I’m honestly a bit disappointed.”
“Uh, huh?”
“Si, are you disappointed? You shouldn’t be…”
The two children are screaming. I don’t know what to do.
I must have been in a bad mood when I was praised by the hero of Florian, who I had always admired and wanted to meet.
However, the two children were unable to come to their senses when a room came right after that.
When I showed a sad expression and said that I was really disappointed, they were so embarrassed that they even started crying.
“I’m sorry. Don’t be disappointed!”
“Because we’ll do well!”
The two princesses jumped up from their seats and moved to the other side of me.
Phew. When I let out a short sigh, the children trembled and looked at me.
“No matter how beautiful, pretty, or intelligent you are, your behavior should not be rude. You know what I mean, right?”
“Yes!”
Seeing the princesses nodding their heads in response, I patted their heads with a calm smile.
Only then did the two princesses’ faces brighten.
“We’ll have good manners from now on! Right, Wendy?”
“Ugh. I’ll have good manners.”
– It’s Aslan’s recipe. How can I handle such small children?
‘Well, it often happens when you’re at the academy.’
For nobles and imperial families, early momentum fighting is important. If you get it right the first time, it will be easier later on.
I’ll send you flying, and then as a matter of courtesy, I’ll drop you into the abyss. After that, all you have to do is gently stimulate that pride.
It doesn’t work well for grown adults, but it was a very effective method for young imperial nobles.
“Then, shall we begin the story in Florian? Are you ready?”
“Yes!”
I told the two princesses a bundle of stories over the course of about an hour. The two little royals were completely engrossed in my story.
Since the story had already been told several times, there was no blockage, and the tension, directing, and level of completion were higher than before.
“Hmm. Just a moment. I’m a little thirsty.”
“Wait a minute!”
So, in a way, it was natural for the two princesses to focus on her without coming to their senses.
Even adults with poor concentration can listen for four hours without stopping, so what can kids do?
“Now, drink this!”
I drank the water the princess herself brought me and started talking again.
The children’s eyes were so bright that they were shining so brightly.
As I was leaving the children distracted for a while, the maid who had left me here before disappeared appeared and bowed to me.
“Count. Scarlett asks to see you. We will serve you.”
“Ah, Soel. We’re still listening!”
“That’s right. Now is the big moment! We’ve just arrived at the bottom of the sea!”
The princesses reveal their dissatisfaction.
But I gave him a look and smiled, ahem. The two princesses adjust their expressions and take a neat posture.
It was quite funny to see a young child trying to show off her dignity, but I gave her a thumbs up towards the two princesses.
It was natural for the princesses’ faces to become angry.
“Yan and Wendy. See you next time.”
“Hmm. Yes. I will be waiting to meet you.”
“Ahem. See you next time, Count.”
The place we arrived at, leaving behind the two children acting like adults, was the study of the 4th Empress.
As I entered, I noticed a space that was quite different from the study of the Third Empress Victoria.
Various weapons hanging all over the walls.
Books related to martial arts that can be found here and there.
“You are the Earl of Cranberry.”
I shifted my gaze to the center of the room when I heard the voice.
There was a tea table, and at the head of the table was a woman sitting with her legs crossed, looking up at me.
As expected, the owner of this place was a person with blue hair.
Beautifully combed jawline and sculpted appearance.
However, unlike the beautiful, feminine face, the body beneath it did not belong to an ordinary woman.
It was beautiful because it was a woman’s body, but it had almost no flab… It was a trained body like Tanya or Serendiya.
– … This girl is strong.
Ah. It has to be that way.
He is one of the few sword masters in this empire. But can it be weak?
“This is Count Cale Crinberry. I meet the 4th Empress, Scarlett Kshanberg.”
I politely bowed before him.
The 4th Empress’ eyes quietly looked up and down me.
