2. The Gaze of the Purge Personnel
In the northern continent, on the ancient permafrost brought by the harsh climate and perpetual snow, lies the Rosia Empire, a name that strikes fear into the hearts of small nations on the continent, and even great empires cannot easily ignore its provocations!
The extreme climate has forged the fierce citizens of Rosia, bringing absolute combat power to the Rosia Empire; the citizens’ almost innate ability to be close to wild beasts has added various beasts as a major weapon to the Rosia Empire; most importantly: there are no party disputes or internal strife within the Rosia Empire, because since the ascension of that great person, there has only been one lifelong monarch, the great, powerful, and of course, very cute, Empress Ivan Letty!
However, although Empress Ivan Letty has an extremely high approval rate within the country, the Rosia Empire is so large that it would not be paradise without a few fools. Therefore, there are still a few scum in the empire who are dissatisfied with Empress Letty and even audaciously attempt to overthrow her.
If Empress Letty knew about this, she would certainly not sit idly by, right? However, the ministers who knew about this unanimously did not reveal too much to Empress Letty. After all, these parasites of the empire do not need to trouble Empress Letty; they can be dealt with entirely. And this is the seventeenth most proud task of Rosia’s first wise man (self-proclaimed) and Empress Letty’s closest minister, Sister Rasputin!
The first task, of course, is to wake Empress Letty.
At this moment, in the basement of the Lubyanka Academy, where the Ministry of Internal Affairs is located.
Rasputin was facing a woman tied to a chair, unable to move even her head, with a group of burly Rosian men.
Then, with a “snap,” Rasputin turned on the light. The intense light from the high-intensity magic stone forced the woman tied to the chair to wake from her slumber, but unable to move, she could only close her eyes, her face full of pain.
The next moment, Rasputin slapped the table.
“Miss, I think it’s about time you talked, right? Who exactly instructed you to do that?”
“Shut up!”
The response to Rasputin was a direct curse. Even after being hungry for days, she still had such momentum, truly a model of Rosian citizens. But what she said was not model-like at all.
“I will never talk! Do whatever you want! Even if these dogs defile my body again and again…”
“Um, miss, none of us have that interest. We’re all married. Do you really think we’re a bandit organization?”
Rasputin wanted to explain for his subordinates that they only looked like bad guys, but the woman tied up didn’t listen at all and continued her righteous speech.
“I will never succumb to your tyranny! Ivan Letty! Your master is a tyrant who deceived Rosia! An enemy of the Rosian people! A waste…”
Before she could finish, Rasputin slapped her jaw, directly interrupting her slander of Letty. Naturally, after directly accusing Empress Letty, Rasputin’s attitude was no longer as friendly as before.
“Say one more word, and I’ll fill your mouth with cement! Without Empress Letty, we ordinary Rosians would still be working for the nobles for free, as slaves. Without Empress Letty, there would be no strong Rosia today. Only under Empress Letty’s rule can Rosia be so strong. It’s such an obvious fact that anyone with intelligence in the Rosia Empire would understand. Why do ignorant fools like you still exist? And you’re even a Rosian noble.”
Rasputin grabbed the woman’s neck and suddenly laughed, “Ah~ yes, only nobles like you, who have lost their former glory, would hate Empress Letty’s great achievements. Sorry~ the Rosia Empire is no longer your noble era.”
The woman, as if hearing an unbearable insult, spoke in a sharp voice.
“Shut up! We’re not trying to overthrow your tyrant rule for our noble status! We’re doing it for Rosia…”
Rip
Rasputin tore off the tape and slapped it on the woman’s mouth, then turned and left.
“Keep questioning her. I have to prepare a speech for Empress Letty. Recently, Empress Letty has been in a good mood. Don’t let this kind of crap make her unhappy again. Leave these scum to us in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.”
“Yes! Lord Rasputin! Remember to get me an autograph!”
“First come, first served! I barely have a few left, Blet!”
Rasputin cursed as he left the basement.
The recent interrogation was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision while passing by the Lubyanka Academy; what mattered more to Rasputin now was to accompany Lady Letty! As he tidied up his clothes, Rasputin quickened his pace, running towards where Letty was in the Lubyanka Academy!
However, as soon as he entered the office where Letty was, he was promptly “educated” by her!
“Too slow, Blet! Rasputin!”
“Chirp chirp chirp!”
What followed was a flurry of “electric shocks” to his rear, but these were trivial matters; Rasputin was completely unfazed.
“Lady Letty, I… I was just getting ready, okay!? Chirp…”
“Hmph.”
Only then did Letty put down her crackling, otherworldly longsword.
Then she turned around in front of Rasputin: “How about it? Is this outfit suitable for my speech, Your Majesty?”
“Perfect, perfect!”
Rasputin excitedly gave a thumbs up. How could Lady Ivan Letty be so adorable! Hehe, ahhh! Today at the Lubyanka Academy, for the final lecture of the semester, it would surely draw a frenzy of admiration from the students!
So…
It was quite strange that the woman from earlier had managed to slip into the crowd; by the time the Ministry discovered it, they were almost ready to act. This was not just a failure on his part, but definitely a significant issue recently. The Rosian Empire was no paradise; among the many supporters of Lady Letty, there would undoubtedly be a few with twisted minds. But this time, it turned out to be a noble lady from the Rosian Empire, which was rather odd…
In any case, he had to ensure the safety of Lady Ivan Letty.
No matter what, he would protect Letty’s safety.
Rasputin made up his mind and then jogged to catch up with Letty, who had left ahead of him.
