59. Brete is Furious! (It’s Live!)
Letty’s Perspective.
Regarding the matter with the big brother, Letty felt she wasn’t angry at all. If she, as the Empress of the Rosian Empire, were to fly into a rage at the drop of a hat, then she might as well not be an empress; the Rosian Empire might have already ceased to exist.
Letty believed her “tolerance level” was quite high. Even concerning the recent incident, she merely felt “annoyed,” nothing more. However, just as she was in this mood, planning to spar with Kfeier, she received a contract communication report from Siberia.
They said… in Kfeier’s experimental project, the part she was involved in—the mining equipment needed for the actual experiment—had erupted in flames! They wanted to apply to go check it out!
Letty was momentarily stunned. She disliked Kfeier, but she didn’t consider herself as underhanded as that crowned lady from England, who would resort to such low tactics. But now, the experimental equipment had exploded!? An accident? A flaw? Or some other reason!?
Rather than worry, Letty felt more “regret,” because she wasn’t a fool! If she hadn’t listened to Moriarty and shifted the responsibility onto her and Rasputin, how could there have been an issue with the experiment? Wasn’t this exactly what the big brother had said—that she had messed things up?
Without hesitation, Letty thought she needed to resolve this quickly to avoid giving the white-haired girl any ammunition! She immediately ran back to the palace, ignoring Rasputin, and used the teleportation array to head to Siberia.
Clearly, everything in the Rosian Empire belonged to her. If something went wrong, it was just a mistake, so why was she so worried and tense!? Shaking her head, Letty decided not to think about it anymore and stepped out of the teleportation array at the Rosian Empire’s Siberian Snow Mountain Ranger Academy, rushing alone toward the site of the experiment.
The equipment for the experimental project was excessively noisy. To avoid disturbing the rest of the rangers here, the site had been chosen far away in the vast snowy expanse. Just as Letty arrived, she began to hear messages from the ranger academy’s liaison in her ears.
“Your Majesty, we’ve found the suspects and are sending people over! This morning, a ranger witnessed them while drinking at Guoben…”
“No need, I see them.”
Letty’s gaze was locked onto a billowing cloud of smoke, where several figures were attempting to sneak away.
In an instant, an unprecedented anger surged within Letty’s heart.
“I’ll handle this personally!”
Cutting off the communication, Letty drew her sword and strode toward those figures. Suspects? Hmph, they were already caught in the act; what else could they be!?
Dressed like nobles of the Rosian Empire, Letty couldn’t be bothered to remember all the noble families, but she had a slight impression of the figures before her. After all, there weren’t many “oligarch” nobles in the Rosian Empire, and Letty clearly remembered: this family, the Ludskis, was one of the oligarchic families she had spared due to her good mood back then.

But now it’s all gone to hell…
Tsk, I should have just cut them all down back then!
Throwing off her lab coat, Letty plunged her sword into the ground, blocking their path.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
The two lackeys of Passerby Ski looked a bit nervous, trying to hide something, but Passerby Ski at least recognized what Letty looked like, and his body stiffened in fear!
“Y-Your Majesty!? How come you…”
【Crackle】
Passerby Ski shivered at the lightning crackling on the sword’s edge, hastily changing his tune!
“We, we just saw some flames coming from the experiment here, so we came to check it out! We were just about to head back to report… Hahaha…”
His two sycophants finally seemed to realize the identity of this “blocking dwarf” and hurriedly chimed in.
Normally, Letty would have happily asked these incompetent Rosian fools a few questions before teaching them a lesson, letting their guard down before “butchering” them all! But now, in a rush and feeling an inexplicable “anger,” Letty didn’t want to ask so many questions anymore!
“I’ll give you three seconds to say your last words. Three…”
As she spoke, Letty raised her sword, and the dark clouds above gathered ominously, causing Passerby Ski to tremble even more, to the point where he didn’t dare to argue anymore!
“W-wait, Your Majesty! I was ordered to do this, I didn’t… it’s…”
“Three.”
Why was she so angry over something that wasn’t even hers, but rather a project experiment from her big brother that had been ruined!?
Letty still hadn’t figured it out, nor did she intend to, instead opting for the most convenient way to vent her frustration just a little!
“Time’s up.”
With the sky darkening, thunder roared! Striking down these dogs would be a mercy for herself!
“Run, run away!!!”
One of the lackeys turned and fled, finally snapping Passerby Ski out of his shock. Letty, the unpredictable Empress, had always been one to cut down people without blinking; Passerby Ski had always enjoyed watching the show, but he never imagined he would find himself in such a desperate situation one day!
Shoving aside his lackey, Passerby Ski scrambled toward the vast snowy mountains.
“Brett… go die.”
The alien sword fell, unleashing a torrent of thunder that roared like a plow, sweeping everything in its path! In an instant, everything in Letty’s sight was filled with a golden flash, the roar of lightning enough to consume all; any resistance was futile . Those caught in it wouldn’t even have time to scream, leaving behind only charred remains!
This was the ultimate power of thunder magic possessed by Ivan Letty, the Empress of the Rosian Empire, a probability so rare it was less than one in ten thousand! Though she could use it only once a day, it was more than enough for venting her anger!
After the rolling thunder subsided, Letty indeed saw two charred corpses, but… the farthest figure, Passerby Ski, seemed to still be fleeing.
Tsk, did he escape by some angle? Hmph, anyway, her initial anger had passed, and next she would call the mountain hunters to capture him, maintain the scene, and then bring that guy before her big brother for him to deal with. That way… surely, she could clear her own suspicion, right?
Feeling a bit weak, Letty leaned on her sword, turning to head back.
However, a very bad feeling flashed through her, and the next moment…
A strange yet powerful cold wind swept by, precisely blowing Letty’s sword away. Following that, a figure draped in a white cloak, almost blending into the snow, emerged, lowering its hood.

Reti would never mistake it; that treacherous woman in the crown from the Great Ying Empire, who raises a pack of dogs called the “Patrol Team,” is dressed just like this!
“Moriarty!?”
“Thank you for your hard work, Empress Reti. Thanks to you, I can save some effort.”
How did this woman end up here!? Could it be that she was waiting all along…
Reti immediately drew her firearm from her waist and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
