Chapter 214 – #213 the Wind of Change That Came With the First Snow
“The reason I have prepared this place is because of none other than the Earl of Cranberry.”
The 2nd and 3rd empresses nodded at 1st Empress Angelica’s remarks. They were jealous of Cale, who visited the 4th Empress’s palace every day and taught the daughters.
“It’s unfair. Florian’s hero, who is becoming a hot topic, is being exploited for two hours every day.”
“So what do you want to say, Angelica?”
The Fourth Empress was not there yet. Two hours before dinner, she was Empress Angelica, who had called the 2nd and 3rd empresses in advance to discuss.
Angelica tapped her head on the table.
“If things continue like this, everyone will fight to take him away. Shouldn’t something like that be avoided in this turbulent political situation?”
1 The Empress did not want her current situation to change due to a sudden quarrel.
As much as the 2nd Empress was at the forefront of her relationship with the Earl of Cranberry, she did not want the tables to be turned.
Even as the third empress, she wanted to avoid quarrels with the other empresses as she still had to prepare things in secret.
Perhaps that was why the three empresses nodded in unison as if they had reached an agreement. Second Empress Vivien asked, shaking her teacup.
“Then what do you plan to do?”
“The answer is simple. All we have to do is share equally the powers that the Four Empresses monopolize.”
“Will Scarlett give in?”
“We have to make them make concessions.”
In essence, politics is about giving and receiving. If something goes, something must come as well. Hmm… The empresses all began to worry.
At that time, I heard a shout from outside.
Knock.
“Scarlett has arrived.”
“Take it.”
The door opens, and a woman comes in, her blue hair flowing.
Just as her title as the strongest in this empire was not in vain, the moment she entered, her air changed, and a heavy silence fell upon her.
Her three empresses greeted her, hiding her nervousness behind her smile. Scarlett smiled her cheerful smile as she took her seat.
“Thank you again for the invitation, Angelica.”
“Not much to say.”
“But there’s no way that people who normally dislike me would gather to eat with me for no reason. What’s the business?”
As soon as her greeting was over, sweat ran down Angelica’s back at the direct question she asked.
In fact, of her three empresses, the one she found most difficult to deal with was Empress Scarlet. Etiquette and background… Because she had the power and power to ignore everything.
“Don’t be offended, just listen, Scarlett.”
Angelica spoke carefully, as if comforting her child. Scarlett’s face became quite serious as she handed over the details of the agreement she had reached with the other two empresses.
“So… You, like me, want to entrust the education of your children to Count Cranberry.”
“Yes, it is as you said.”
“But the Count is working as an associate professor at the Academy. I asked him before, but he said he has no intention of quitting his job. What do you plan to do?”
“That’s why I’m asking for Scarlett’s understanding.”
Hmm? Scarlett’s eyes grew fierce. At the same time, the surrounding atmosphere became even heavier and colder.
“You mean… Take the time away from teaching my children and give it to your children? Angelica. Am I right in what I understand?”
Gulp. Her evil eyes poured out.
The 2nd and 3rd Empresses held onto the hem of her skirt tightly due to the harsh energy, and a lot of force went into Angelica’s toes, which were directly exposed to the gaze.
“Angelica. You can’t do that to me, can you?”
It was Angelica who pushed for Scarlett’s execution, citing an incident in which Scarlett’s two daughters clung to her teacher and played a prank on her. After that, Scarlett was unable to find any teacher except Kael’thas.
But now they’re trying to intercept that teacher too?
“You guys, do I look funny? Huh?”
“S-Scarlett. That’s what we are…”
“Shut up, Vivien!”
“Hiccup.”
The Second Empress, exposed to death, was startled, hiccuped, and dropped her teacup.
She wasn’t the only one surprised.
Angelica, who was exposed to life for the first time, felt like getting up from her seat and going to the bathroom.
3 Empress Victoria cautiously opened her mouth.
“S-Scarlett. Why don’t you calm down a little?”
Thing.
“Oh, we’re not just going to ask you to do this for free either. We’ll pay you a fair price. So just calm down. Okay? Haha.”
“… Whew.”
The riotous life has calmed down. Scarlett, having gathered all her energy, sat down.
It was a disaster because the 3rd Empress, who had no bad relations, stepped forward. If only the other two Empresses were present, she would have left her position.
“Okay. So what are you planning to put out?”
When the path to negotiations was opened, the empresses came forward with joy.
“Ta, is there anything else you want, Scarlett?”
“Try to speak.”
“Something I’ve always wanted…”
The three empresses promised much bigger things than they had planned in advance. My spending increased, but I couldn’t help it.
The perpetrator cannot remember what he did. She had been quietly wielding her sword in the empress’s palace until now, but she realized too late that she had done a lot of bad things to her.
“Uh, how are you, Scarlett?”
“Well, okay. I will accept that offer. Of course, if the person concerned rejects it, there is nothing I can do.”
“Thank you!”
In this way, the negotiations between the four empresses were concluded.
The next day, when Cale heard the story, his face crumpled.
“Scarlett. I’m disappointed. You’re selling me out like this.”
“Ugh. I’m really sorry. But there’s a reason…”
“Tell me honestly, ‘No matter how good love is, I can’t hold on any longer. If I do this, I only have to do it once every four days, so it will get better.’ Well, didn’t you accept the offer with this in mind?”
“Well, well, that could be possible!”
4th Empress Scarlet screamed.
But she wasn’t good at lying. On the contrary, Cale was good at detecting her lies.
It is because both Beres, and he has the ability to glimpse the other person’s emotions.
“Scarlett?”
“Well, it’s not like there wasn’t a reason… I guess it would be a bit embarrassing if I was isolated from the other empresses…”
“…”
“Oh, no. I’m sorry. Furthermore, I was wrong.”
Falling to her knees, Scarlett apologized politely. Cale picked her up, laughed, and lifted her up.
“I accept your sincere apology. I don’t want Scarlett to get into trouble either.”
“Thank you. As expected, you have great courage. I am perfect at seeing people.”
“Instead.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t even think about sleeping tonight.”
I hesitated. A woman stepping back.
Cale smiles and follows her as much as she ran away.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Please, calm down. The look in your eyes right now…”
Hehe. Don’t worry. But I will control my strength appropriately. Today, let’s try to achieve one or two hundred orgasms.”
“Hey. Lee, Lee Baek? No!”
He catches her as she runs away and drags her to her bedroom. Kale really filled in exactly 200 times. As a result, Scarlett had to stay home until lunch the next day due to her dehydration.
***
Negotiations between empresses excluding the parties involved.
As expected, as the most powerful person in the empire, there was no one asking for my opinion.
So I ended up teaching each empress’s children for two hours every day. However, the parents did not seem to be very interested in education.
The children clearly participated in my education with interest and fun, but their goals were very clear and explicit.
– Count. Is things going well with Bella?
– I heard that the Count eats together with Bianca every day.
A legal meeting involving a child. And appeasement.
1 The Empress was probably the mother who gave birth to Bianca, and she was more haughty and arrogant than most nobles. 2 The Empress was an unknown person.
The emotions were very difficult and complex.
So, Veres and I had a good time heading to the 3rd and 4th empress palaces.
The reason was simple.
“Sssss out… And he and it. On.
3 In the case of Empress Victoria, she was tall and had breasts that were national treasures, bigger than Reina’s. Just by touching her, she heals, how could it not be good?
“Yes. Okay… Now, wait. Not here. Why is it always in the men’s bathroom… Ugh. Ugh… I’m caught. I’m caught. The door is open… Someone is coming in here…”
In the case of the 4th Empress Scarlet, the reaction was beyond cute. When the Sword Master, who was infinitely strong and noble in front of others, was around, I was embarrassed like a girl and didn’t know what to do.
I have such a good time every day… Time flies so fast.
– Uh? It’s snow.
“…”
When I looked up, I saw something white coming down from the sky. The pure white thing melted and disappeared as soon as it landed on the ground, but as time went by, it was slowly staining the whole world white.
‘Has a whole year already passed?’
It seems like only yesterday that I was wandering around vowing revenge, but we had already passed through summer and fall and entered winter.
As I was looking at the snow piling up, one person suddenly came to mind.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s time to go see him again.’
– Who?
‘Freyr.’
– Oh, that girl who was held hostage in the Icecrown Kingdom?
Kael’thas Krareth… So Fellhound and I made a deal. If you establish a contact with the 4th Empress, I will introduce you to Freyr.
‘I received what I promised, so I must keep my promise.’
– When are you going to meet me?
‘Well. Should we go as soon as we have the 4th Empress’s power?’
However, meeting her came much earlier than I expected.
“Scarlett! Scarlett! Where are you? This is an emergency summons order from His Majesty the Emperor!”
Empress Scarlet, who had been making rice cakes on the roof of the building amid the maids’ commotion, put on her clothes and went down.
As I carefully landed on the other side, a black-furred beast shouted at me from the corner of the building.
“Meow!”
We entered a deserted place together, and Aria, who soon changed into human form, bowed to me.
“What’s going on here?”
“I thought it would be better to tell you as soon as possible, so I came here in a hurry.”
“Is it related to the former emperor’s emergency convocation order?”
“Yes, I am.”
What she heard was definitely enough to make her jump.
“Two days ago, a big fight broke out in the border area with the Icecrown Kingdom. There were many casualties on both sides, and it was on the verge of sparking a fuse and spreading into a large-scale war.”
As a result, the emperor became angry and decided to dismiss the lord in question and give the territory to the person who could solve the problem.
“Aria. Where did you hear that news?”
“I overheard the conversation between the maids who served the emperor.”
Aria, who entered through the opening of the imperial palace, was wandering around the entire imperial palace. The reason she’s been so busy lately is that she’s asking me for important information.
“It’s a border area with the Icecrown Kingdom… How big is it?”
“Halstenberg is the same size as Florian, a large tourist destination and port city to the south.”
“What is the value?”
“If you consider not only the various mines but also the trade with ice crowns, it is more than twice the amount earned in Florian in a year.”
Under. Are you going to hand over that entire place? Isn’t this truly a huge opportunity?
It is even a border area. A large army directly under the emperor is always on standby. In other words, taking over the management of that place meant taking over its military power.
‘That’s interesting. It’s fun.’
I immediately got up from my seat and headed outside the castle.
Now that I was held captive by the empresses, I could not participate in the competition. I needed a way to escape their clutches and get a ticket to Halstenberg.
And there was only one person in this empire who could do that.
The only one who teaches the royal family, doesn’t care about their power, and lives with everything they have to say.
I entered the mansion of Kael’thas Crares.
