Chapter 277 – #276 Even Though She’s the Empress, She’s Just a Woman

The capital of Kshanberg was experiencing quite a noisy situation from early morning.

Originally, the demotion of Fellermil, one of the two dukes of the empire, would have been the hottest topic, but major incidents occurred one after another that made his actions in Argentina buried.

The first thing that became problematic was the announcement of the Fourth Empress Scarlet.

『We have maintained our neutrality up until now, but as of today, we are withdrawing it. I and the subjects who follow me will support the third princess, Reina Kshanberg. 』

It was like a thunderbolt.

Although imperial law provides for the right to succession to the throne regardless of gender, the throne often went to men rather than women.

This is because the nobles and royal family are male-centered to begin with.

“She’s not our first princess, but she’s the third princess, the third among women in the hierarchy. Huh… I wonder what her intentions are…”

It was a decision that 1st Empress Angelica could not understand at all.

“Duke Artemire. Are we missing something?”

“Well, I really don’t know what the 4th Empress thinks. To support her child, who was abandoned by her own mother, without any foundation… Hmm…”

“Did you ever say that you support the 3rd prince?”

“Others may think so, but isn’t she the 4th Empress? She certainly won’t be. No one will even think that she will say anything.”

Angelica’s eyes sank.

“How will things turn out like this?”

“With luck, Princess Reina will have the power of the 4th Empress on her back, and she will absorb the power of the 3rd Empress. When that happens…”

“It will be a three-way match.”

“Yes. Of course, even if that is the case, it is still not enough to compare with the 2nd Empress.”

Empress Angelica had an intuition of what Duke Artemire was trying to say.

A person who has been on the rise recently and has always been a concern.

“If we capture the Marquis of Cranberry, things will be different.”

“We may surpass the current power of the Second Empress. You heard the news today.”

Okay. The second major event shaking the Kshanberg Empire from early morning.

That is, the seven central nobles, who were close to neutral forces, suddenly decided to follow the Marquis of Cranberry.

Among them, the Grayport family, which is in charge of the southern gate of the capital, is a fairly large noble among the neutral forces.

The fact that they, the furthest from politics, suddenly began to take on color was like encouraging other neutral nobles.

For one reason or another, the battle for the throne has come to the surface as of today.

“Your Majesty. We must somehow get the Marquis of Cranberry on our side. Promote his marriage to Princess Bianca.”

“Phew. I know. But I haven’t received confirmation yet.”

The whole situation is quickly revolving around him, so I want to win by somehow capturing him…

In fact, the Marquis of Cranberry was delaying his response to her proposal.

‘I gave you time to think about it, but now I can’t rush you.’

Widely. Crackling.

Empress Angelica’s hand tapped unsteadily on her armrest.
After chewing her lips for a moment, she nodded as if she had decided.

“I understand, Duke. Let’s talk about it one more time today.”

“Well thought out.”

Now was not the time to care about pride or formality.

If she pretended to be relaxed and got him taken away, she could have been punished.

“Hello!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“The Marquis of Cranberry is in the Second Empress Palace now?”

“Yes. I heard that you headed there with Duke Pellermill.”

“Please bring her to me as soon as she comes out of the Second Empress Palace.”

“I understand.”

And in the meantime, a similar situation was taking place in the third empress’ palace.

The nobles of the three empresses gathered in front of the three empresses and presented a report. Victoria’s eyebrows narrowed sharply.

“Is that… Really?”

“It is true. I captured 23 imperial knights and asked them, and they all gave the same answer. She said that the Fourth Empress had decided to elevate Princess Reina and instructed her to announce the fact.”

“Scarlett… Why on earth are you my daughter…”

“Don’t you have anything to point out?”

No, the moment Empress Victoria heard the news, a point immediately came to mind.

Kale Cranberry Marquis.

He had apparently given her the following advice:

-Hmm. If it’s that kind of revenge, I have a good method. The success rate is overwhelmingly higher than now, and the risk is very low.

-If I do it my way, the 1st Empress and the 2nd Empress will fail to crown her emperor, and Her Highness Victoria, the 3rd Empress, will become the next emperor.

‘At that time, I thought that resuscitation was referring to our Marcus.’

Now that things have turned out this way, I understand.
The Marquis referred to her own life as Reina.

“Her Highness Victoria?”

“… What’s the situation down there?”

The nobles looked at each other.

The five nobles gathered here are those who can be said to be Empress Victoria’s closest associates.

When she saw their worried faces, she quietly urged her to answer.

“Report the truth.”

“Yes, then…”

The noble looked apologetic for a moment and then carefully began to tell the story.

“Everyone is agitated. Most people are still saying to wait and see, but those who are a bit impatient are already switching to Princess Reina.”

“…”

“Since they are the same descendants of Her Highness Victoria… They say the 3rd princess has a better chance of winning than the 3rd prince… I think it’s only a matter of time.”

“Is it at a level where I can’t even intervene?”

“Yes. For some reason, there are also rumors that the relationship between His Majesty and the Third Princess is not very good… Above all, wasn’t there a rumor of a romantic relationship with the Marquis of Cranberry? The aftermath cannot be ignored.”

Empress Victoria touched her forehead.

‘What should I do with this…? . It’s late, but should I also support Raina?’

That’s the best move for the current situation.

I felt a little sorry for her son, Marcus, but if Reina became emperor, she could get revenge on the 1st and 2nd empresses.
Those two years could have achieved the position they so desperately wanted.

It was possible for her to trample on those who ridiculed her for becoming empress just because of her looks and enjoy the power they so desperately wanted.

‘Is it so. This is the most right path for now.’

It was the moment to make a decision and open your mouth.

Knock.

“Please come in.”

A nobleman came in quickly and bowed.

It was clear that the matter was quite urgent, as she had a lot of sweat rolling down her forehead.

“What’s going on?”

“Your Highness. Things are getting a little strange.”

“Is it going strangely?”

“Just now, at the Academy, Your Majesty’s daughter, Princess Reina, gathered people together and made an announcement.”

The empress and nobles who heard the contents could not help but be embarrassed.

『 Rumors and rumors have been rife since early morning, so we felt the need to announce our official position as a party, so we prepared this event. First, this matter has nothing to do with my mother and younger brother. This is to build my own power for the throne… 』

A brief explanation of the support of the 4th Empress.

The important issue is the declaration of an independent force unrelated to the Third Empress.

“G-J, are you saying that Raina has drawn the line between me and her? Am I right in understanding this?!”

“Well, I guess so.”

“Such nonsense…!”

The person who was reporting took a deep breath and continued speaking.

“Princess Reina’s value is rapidly rising now. Other nobles are already rushing to the academy to prepare gifts for her.”

The people there heard his story and did not know what to do.

The nobles who were watching Empress Victoria stood up one by one and bowed.

“I’m sorry. I’m thinking about how busy things are at home… I think I should go.”

“I also have a lunch appointment…”

“I’m sorry.”

In an instant, they left, leaving Empress Victoria alone in the reception room of the Third Empress.

She laughed with her empty face.

– By the way, how do you feel? What is my suggestion?

-Do whatever I ask you to do… When told to stick out your butt, stick out your butt; when told to spread your legs, spread your legs… Um yes! To put it simply, if you become my sex slave, I will take revenge on you. Perfectly too!

“Um, Your Highness?”

Her maid, who was waiting next to her, called out to her carefully.

“Where is Lord Kayle now?”

“I understand that the Second Empress is at the palace. Isn’t today the day Duke Pellermill leaves?”

“Yes, I did.”

Only now did Empress Victoria begin to come to grips with reality.
The puzzles that had been invisible until now were appearing one by one and being put together right before her eyes.

‘The Duke of Fellermill was also struck by him. Even that old tiger…’

She should have noticed from the moment she first came to see her.
She was a person who showed no signs of being discouraged even though she was meeting the empress of a country.

Rather, he very confidently touches her breasts, rubs her cock, and makes her suck his dick… She plunged her dick into her without any mercy, making her cum and making her pregnant.

She said, ‘She thought he was just a guy with a swollen liver, but he wasn’t that. She had that ability, so she did whatever she wanted with me. Hehe.’

She now had to make her choice.
No, does she even have a choice in the first place?
If you go this way, you’re still a slave. If you go over there, you’re still a slave. The only path given to her is to become his sex slave.

“Get ready to go out.”

“Yes? Where…”

“I need to meet Sir Kayle.”

“Yes. I will send someone to fetch you right away. I will also prepare refreshments in the garden…”

“No. Just keep track of Sir Kayle’s location.”

Victoria got up from her seat and went into her own dressing room.
She then opened her underwear box and quietly looked around,

“I… Will go myself.”

***

“Hmm.”

“…”

Red hair like Bella. Hair done up nicely.

The Second Empress Vivien had a fairly naive appearance. If it weren’t for her fiery red hair, she would have seemed quite belittled.

– Still, if you see it at an official event or something like that, it doesn’t really show that way.

‘That’s right.’

In that respect, he was also a great person.

It means that she decorated her weak personality with a mask and acting.

But when her fella mill disappeared, she lost control of her own emotions. It was more serious than I thought when I saw it right in front of her, rather than hearing it from stories.

I filled her empty cup with warm tea and handed it directly into her hand.

“Thank you, Marquis.”

“No, but Vivian has very good hands. Isn’t she on par with the Academy students?”

“Oh my. The Marquis too… Is this really true?”

“Yes. Her fingers are thin and white too. She must have been popular when she was young.”

“Hehe. No. Surprisingly, it wasn’t popular.”

Since ancient times, there has been a saying in the ancient world that if a pretty girl pours a drink next to her when she is full of worries, her troubles will disappear completely from her head.
Does that only apply to men?

It can’t be.

Empress Vivien smiled cheerfully as I, a very popular person with a fairly smooth face, young age, and all kinds of fame, flattered next to me.

It was a moment that proved that no matter how much she was the most successful empress in the empire, she was just a woman.
I said, gently stroking her hand.

“Now, I am the only person in this imperial palace that you can trust, Vivien. But don’t worry too much. I will assist you well.”

“Yes. I will trust only Lord Cale.”

“Be careful not to make a mistake and ruin the current advantageous situation.”

With a nervous look on her face, Empress Vivien nodded her head vigorously.

“Just do whatever I ask you to do without questioning it.”

“Oh, I understand.”

I gently touched her head as if I was caressing a child. Empress Vivien’s cheeks turned red.

“Then shall we do a light test?”

“Yes!”

Then I undid my pants and took out my fully erect dick.

She was smiling brightly at me but blinked her eyes several times.
Empress Vivien looked at my dick and my face with a smile on her face, not yet fully understanding the situation.
I smiled at her and spoke confidently.

“Vivien. Suck my cock.”
