Chapter 328 – #327 the First Empress Is Confident and Happy About Victory

Again. Again. Ttogak.

The sound of shoes echoed lowly in the corridor.

The owner of the footsteps went upstairs to the building and stopped in the middle of the hallway. Next to him, two knights were standing guard in front of a door.

They raised their example toward her.

“Empress Angelica. Are you here?”

“Yes. I am going to speak with Her Majesty for a moment. Please make room for her.”

“I understand.”

The knights retreated.

Upon entering the room, a blond man was lying alone on a bed large enough for 10 people, receiving care from the imperial wizard.

“Everyone, please leave. I have something to talk with your Majesty.”

At her request, her maids and wizard bowed and went out.

“Shadows. I hope you, too, will leave your seats.”

“We…”

“I want to have some time alone with Your Majesty, even just once. Are my demands as your wife too much?”

The shadows looked at each other and quietly retreated. Empress Angelica quietly climbed onto the bed.

The emperor’s image was clearly reflected beneath her.

Just a month ago, he looked like he was in his mid-thirties, but he quickly aged and became an old man.

Empress Angelica laughed softly.

“It must be great. For someone who is bothered by everything, you can just lie in bed and sleep all day.”

Even though her voice echoed throughout the room, the emperor did not open his eyes. I just raise and lower my chest and make a weak breathing sound.

“You’ve been like that since we got married. No, since we first met.”

The emperor was bothered by everything.

Taking care of affairs, having conversations, and even eating.

His appearance was fair, and he was like an emperor, so I couldn’t see anything like that in the early days of his marriage.
There was a time when Empress Angelica thought that if there was such a thing as a prince riding a white horse, it would be him.

However, about five years after giving birth, that illusion completely collapsed.

It took me a very long time to realize that it was a bright apricot.

I can’t believe I’ve been in trouble for 5 years.

“In the meantime, he took this woman as his concubine… But he didn’t even treat me properly…”

Empress Angelica picked up her pillow next to her.

“You don’t even bother to be with our son. You have been the worst as an emperor and a husband. So try to help us this once.”

Angelica lifted her pillow and pressed it to the emperor’s face.
There was a faint struggle. Soon the resistance disappeared and the emperor’s body went limp.

Empress Angelica got up from her seat and walked out of her room. She then caught the sight of the dead emperor through the slowly closing door.

“Now sleep forever in hell, Your Majesty.”

As the door slammed shut, a presence was heard next to me. It was Kael’thas Crares, a blonde handsome man wearing a monocle.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“No. On the contrary, when I use my hands like this, my insides feel refreshed. It feels like everything I’ve built up so far is being released.”

Angelica moved on her feet with a quite refreshed face. Kael’thas followed next to him.

“So what do I have to do now?”

“First, it is important to move before the opposing forces, seize the throne, and declare it. Whatever the reason, if you ascend to the throne, you will be emperor. If that happens, their defiance is just a rebellion, so it can be dealt with by national law.”

“Yes, that’s right. No one knows that His Majesty has passed away yet, and when we are ready to fight, they will make a hasty move only then. The ignorant people will follow our will without much resistance.”

A satisfied smile appeared on the First Empress’s lips.

Everything was going smoothly for her after Kael’thas Krareth, the brain of her empire, gave her his hand.

Just by his joining, the flow of our army’s forces that had been wandering away came to a halt. Rather, the central point of the enemy camp was shaking as Florian’s hero was away for a long time.

“You have to move quickly.”

“Yes. I need to quickly give instructions to my subordinates right away.”

Empress Angelica gathered her own limbs and instructed them to secretly rally her army. Kael’thas just looked at that in silence.

‘… For now, I have done as you wish, Aslan.’

***

“What? What do you mean! My father is dying?!”

The entire capital was in an uproar with the news of the emperor’s death.

Although the emperor has not been meeting nobles recently, I thought he was simply tired of the periodic annoyances… It was because I wasn’t feeling well.

The 3rd princess Reina and the 1st princess Bianca were surprised, and even the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th empresses who were living close to the emperor were shocked by this situation and did not know what to do.

Until now, because her first empress had monopolized the position with her emperor, there was no way for them to receive any news… No, it’s still true, His Majesty didn’t give you that one news until after he passed away.

“They say he died suddenly, but I doubt it.”

“My thoughts are the same, Sister Bianca.”

“That’s not the problem.”

Bella started her luck, twirling one side of her twin-tailed hair with her index finger. All the eyes of the people around her were focused on her.

“The fox, who was holding on tightly to the information, made it public. Why did he do that?”

People who can’t think of something easily.

However, after about ten seconds had passed, Linnell, the real power of the great noble Lenatri who was sitting on one side, opened his mouth.

“I think everything is already ready, Lady Hardrence.”

“That’s right. There’s no way that fox would pass up such a good opportunity. He’s confident, so he’s probably revealed it now. Maybe he created the opportunity by killing himself.”

“Bella! Don’t speak so meanly of my mother!”

“I’m sorry. What I said earlier was my mistake.”

Bella, who neatly apologized to Princess Bianca, crossed her legs and rang her call bell. Soon, a faculty member came rushing in from outside and bowed.

“Did you call the Dean?”

“As of this time, the academy is being sealed.”

“Yes?”

Everyone looked back at Bella with surprised eyes. Either way, Bella made her instructions more specific.

“Declare a level 1 crisis and begin fortifying the academy. Fully activate the defense shield.”

“Yeah, but… Then it becomes impossible to go in or out?”

After hearing what the faculty and staff said, Raina also expressed concern.

“It is true that it is a crisis situation, but isn’t it a bit hasty? If we want to begin fortification, we must first call in our allies from the streets of the nobles…”

“No. It’s already too late. Hey, go quickly and activate the fort.”

Bella kicked the teacher’s butt with her foot and sent him outside.
And soon after, a blue barrier was erected over the Imperial Academy, causing a second uproar in the capital.

The 1st Empress’s revival was crowned as the new emperor of Kshanberg.

And the moment the news spread through the streets, the First Empress’s private soldiers who had been waiting outside pushed into the capital.

They soon split into the Academy and the streets of the nobles, urging Princess Reina’s followers to surrender.

***

“Listen. You have committed the sin of praising the powerless and incompetent Third Princess and disrupting her state affairs.”

In the streets of the nobles, the two forces faced each other.

One side is an army composed mainly of private soldiers. On the other hand, the other side was made up of nobles and their relatives.

The only soldiers were a few guards guarding the main gate.

“Originally, he would have captured everyone, beheaded them, and destroyed their families, but the merciful First Prince took pity on you who would lose everything in a moment of mistake, so he decided to give you a chance. Put down your weapons and surrender right now, and I will preserve your positions. .”

The nobles looked at each other at the power difference of more than 30 times.

Usually, nobles have considerable skills after going through the academy, but there is still no answer when it comes to page numbers.

Above all, nobles hated having scratches on their bodies. There was no way they would risk their lives and fight like commoners.

Uneasy faces gathered together and started whispering.

“Well, you. Have you found out any news? Where is the Third Princess?”

“I heard before coming here that the soldiers also surrounded the Imperial Academy. I heard that the fortifications are currently in operation and under siege.”

“What about the capital’s south gate and east gate? Isn’t there any support coming from there?”

“I guess… It’ll be difficult…”

Currently, the north and west gates of the capital are in favor of the 1st Empress, and the south and east gates of the capital, where the Isabel family is located, are in favor of the 3rd princess Reina.

If they came forward to support, the other side would also join the war, so it would only increase the situation and make it difficult to change the situation.

“Drop your weapons and surrender immediately! The 1st Prince will never wait long!”

In the end, the nobles who followed trends like migratory birds drew their swords from behind.

“Now, you guys. How…”

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t you know the Marquis of Cranberry? Make no mistake!”

“No. You’re wrong. By the time Florian’s hero returns, it’s already too late. I’ll return to the First Empress.”

As they caught on to the flow of betrayal one by one, the number of people taking advantage of it gradually increased.

“Well, then me too.”

“Hmm. I’m sorry.”

Traitors followed the instigators and came out one after another. The number immediately exceeded 1/3 of the camp.

In a way, it was a natural result.

Death is scary, and we have a lot.

Street of nobles. The fight in Strong Hold was decided between victory and defeat without even being properly fought.

***

“Your Highness. News has just arrived. It is said that all the forces following the Third Princess in Stronghold have been captured.”

“Really? That’s a really nice story.”

Although the central nobility of the capital has few fiefdoms and private armies, it accounts for more than half of the total number of nobles. And they are relatives in one way or another to the nobles of each region.

Capturing them was practically the same as almost winning the fight.

A smile bloomed on the First Empress’s lips.

“What about the Third Princess?”

“The academy is still putting up a lot of resistance. I guess it’s because it was built so solidly that it withstood an attack by demons a thousand years ago…”

“Yes, yes, but you will change your mind when your own relatives start dying before your eyes.”

“That means…”

“Use the nobles we captured earlier. If they don’t disarm the barrier and surrender, I will kill their entire families.”

“How many people can set an example?”

“Show them one by one, and if no one responds, kill them all.”

“Everything… You mean?”

“Yes. Everything.”

The reporter swallowed dry saliva.

If all the nobles and academy students were killed right away, it was clear that the empire would fall into a recession for the next 100 years.

It is natural to be pushed back in the war with Argentina.

But Empress Angelica had no choice.

This fight was not about her overwhelming victory, but about taking control of the government with a trick in a battle she had already lost.

If you leave behind those who could become victims, problems could arise at any time in the future.

“I obey your orders.”

The reporter withdrew like that, and an imperial knight came inside.

The first empress’s eyes sparkled.

“I am reporting. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Empresses living in the imperial palace and their children have all been imprisoned in the tower.”

“Good job.”

“And Lord Kael’thas… Was not found.”

“What do you mean? You can’t find it?”

It was Kael’thas, whom we had suddenly stopped hearing from the day before yesterday.

Next, I went to ask about the plan, but it wasn’t in the dorm and there wasn’t even a note left.

“I released the person and searched all over the imperial palace, but he was nowhere to be found. Maybe he went outside for a while…”

“… Okay, just go back.”

The knight stepped aside, and the First Empress tilted her teacup. The gap between the eyebrows has become narrower.

It’s because I feel a bit uncomfortable.

Of course, his usual behavior is strange, and we have already reached a point where we don’t need his help…

‘Why am I so uncomfortable? Like an ominous omen.’

… It must be because of my mood. Since things are going so smoothly, the only reaction is to feel uneasy for a moment.

“Your Highness. It’s time to go to sleep.”

“I don’t really want to sleep today. Please prepare what I always drink.”

“Yes.”

Fill the glass with red wine. Then I open the window wide and look at the cold moonlight.

Because she always pursued perfection, she was often overcome with anxiety.
Isn’t that what life in the imperial palace is like? Throwing everything away in a moment of mistake.

‘Everything worked out well. My son has become emperor, and all those who oppose him are being punished.’

She’s still a little shaken up from committing murder with her own hands, but she drinks and looks at the moon… She was as calm as ever.

‘Now, even if the Marquis comes, this situation cannot be changed.’

The cool night air refreshed my mind. A calm smile appeared on the First Empress’s lips.

She thought of kale.

What is he doing right now?

Slurp-

An alien wind came in through the balcony. Empress Angelica’s eyes landed on the window leading to the balcony.

“Are you here?”

At the same time as she asked, the masked person she had seen before appeared in front of her. When she let go of her hand, something fell on her floor and made a thud.
The silhouette looked like a person.

“Who is this…”

“The request has been fulfilled. The Florian hero has been captured alive.”

“?!”

The First Empress’s eyes brightened. She leaned her body towards the man who was lying on the floor with her hands trembling.
The masked man pushed the man with his foot and turned him over.
Florian’s hero was right. Not long ago, she made a request to the King of Assassins.

“Ah, haha!”

First Empress Angelica’s eyes drew a crescent moon. With her face flushed red, she hugged her own body and cupped her crotch.
Her red tongue flicked her lower lip. Greed flashed across her face.

Hehe. Now I can finally feel the fact that I won. I can’t believe a gift like this arrived at just the right time.”

Between her crotch, her pure white panties became wet. Her nipples stood out greatly outside of her dress.
