Chapter 155 – 16. This Man’s Influence Spreads Through the Empire
“…And Viscount Safines. A total of 4 nobles went over to the 3rd Princess faction.”
“Four people…? Ha!”
The second prince laughed.
4 nobles.
It may seem like a small amount, but it is by no means small.
This is simply an estimate of the nobles who passed over from their own faction.
If the 1st prince faction and the 1st princess faction were added together, there would have been well over 10 people. That, too, was not even taken into consideration at all. It really can’t be ignored. Especially if it’s only a month’s change.
“Whoa.”
Fortunately, the second prince is in a better position.
Princess 1 was really upset.
Except for being the son of the 2nd empress and being older than the 3rd princess, the 1st princess falls short of the 3rd princess in every way. Her abilities, the loyalty of her subordinates, and the forces she has built all show a difference of more than one point.
In addition, the recent change in the faction of the 3 princesses is decisive.
3 Princess Helena’s engagement and change in attitude.
Helena seems to have given up her direct quest for the throne and made her future husband her vassal.
However, the fiancé is a male warrior who is said to be the greatest talent ever. Not long ago, he was officially ordained a saint. Even as the princess herself, and even as her husband who will be her husband, the 1st princess is not as good as her 3rd princess.
Thanks to this, the faction of the 1st princess, whose only advantage is Seohwang, has disappeared, is greatly shaken.
The one with the best situation is, of course, the faction of the first prince.
From the beginning, rather than the incompetent first prince, the first empress from a duke’s family and the nobles who only saw the legitimacy of the lineage gathered. So less damage.
“Damn it…”
The second prince gnashed his teeth.
The emperor’s health has not been good recently, so what is this?
“How dare a little sister to an older brother who is like the sky…! Whoa, I’m sure I can’t be of any help…”
“…”
The 7th princess, who had reported to him about her departure from the nobility, who was standing next to the 2nd prince emitting heat, sighed inwardly.
‘Ugh. It’s a start again.’
They are siblings The 2nd prince, 3rd princess, 7th princess, and some others are children of the 3rd empress.
In other words, siblings in same clothes.
Like the third empress chosen for her appearance and abilities rather than family, her children were generally competent.
Thanks to this, the 2nd prince who stood out from a young age and received attention.
Combined with the Glazer imperial family’s strong male predominance, he grew to be as arrogant as the first prince. He openly revealed that he was greedy for the throne, showing a competitive spirit and jealousy to the first prince, who was 2 years older, from an early age.
This allowed him to quickly gather factions, which fueled his arrogance.
The first prince had never been appointed crown prince until he was over 30 years old, and it is not that no member of the royal family other than the first prince had ever become emperor.
The incompetent first prince and the relatively uncompetitive first princess.
In the meantime, she was confident that the 2nd prince would become the emperor.
Because he was a man with the blood of the imperial family, and he was capable and great.
The only thing the 2nd prince felt jealous of among her royal family was one of her younger sisters, her 3rd princess.
‘Once you get mad like that, there’s no answer. I need to go out for a while.’
7 The princess cautiously exited the second prince’s room.
When she came out, it felt like her stuffy chest was finally relieved.
“Whoa.”
She doesn’t know if the 2nd Prince will calm down and find herself, but she somehow seems to be fine today.
She walked leisurely through the corridors of the imperial castle, humming her song.
A 7th princess with pale orange hair resembling her mother, rather than the dark golden hair typical of her royal family.
Unlike the rest of her imperial family, the girl has little interest in competing for the throne.
Belonging to the faction of the two princes is just because her mother is the same. She said that the 2nd Prince had such an arrogant and self-righteous personality that she did not have many members of the royal family in his faction, nor did she join her entourage. Had it not been for her mother, the 3rd Empress, she would not have been in the clique.
‘So she loses to her sister too.’
In my heart, I want to go to her 3rd princess clique just like her twin sister.
However, she could not refuse her mother’s request.
‘Well, there’s nothing you can do about it this time. Helena’s number was too strong.’
Who would have thought that before she even graduated, she would push forward with an engagement with a candidate for the hero.
To be precise, his ability to seduce the hero Han Si-woo and even make him get engaged is amazing.
It is known that the engagement of the two was first proposed by Han Si-woo as a reward, but the two had only two contact points before that. The first time they met casually, and the second time was because of a mission from the imperial family.
Even so, the man resisted even the temptations of the 4th princess and unconditionally wanted the 3rd princess.
Therefore, most of the royal family and nobles thought that the engagement was entirely a matter of the third princess.
Decisive here.
“Who would have thought I would become a saint?”
Thanks to that, even weeks after that, the atmosphere in each faction is not very good.
Only the faction of the 3rd princess is dominant.
“Who’s talking about him?”
While I was talking to myself while taking a walk, I suddenly heard a voice from behind.
Her startled woman turned her back.
“Ah…?! Ah, Adren-sama…”
“Oh, it was you.”
“Yes yes.’
The owner of the voice was Adlen, one of the two SS-class warriors of the Glazer Empire.
Her son Ren was only around 140, so her 7th princess had to look down on her, but her appearance alone made her 7th princess nervous. Adlen’s nasty and ferocious personality is really famous.
“That’s what he said.”
“Huh? That, if it’s that guy…”
“Han Si-woo. That bastard.”
“…? Uh, yes…”
The 7th princess could not understand the meaning.
Apparently, he was responding to the word “Saint” That he had said while talking to himself.
Rumors do circulate that Adlen does not like Han Si-woo very much. However, both of them are very difficult to touch, so they are in a state of shushing. But, unluckily, she was caught by her son, Ren.
“Ugh, ten scabs will die. Now, wherever you go, you’re talking about him.”
Adlen crossed his arms while making an angry snort.
The 7th princess was nervous.
She wondered if she might be hated by SS-class warriors for telling a story about Siu Han. She didn’t talk in front of her, she was just talking to herself, so it’s unfair to her, but what can she do?
‘I’ll have to avoid Adelen-nim as much as possible.’
Adlen is known for his filthy personality. Her answer is avoiding rather than fighting.
“…Ehh. That’s it. What can you say about something like this? Go ahead.”
“Uh, yes…”
Her son, Ren, waved her hand as if to leave quickly.
With a confused expression on her face, she left her seat as if she was running away, but she felt uneasy.
‘But why does Adlen-sama hate him?’
She doesn’t even have a name, but it seems that she hates it enough to react to the word saint from a distance, but there are very few parts that can be called a point of contact between the two. She wondered if she could use her son Ren, so she researched the reasons why each faction disliked them, but to no avail.
No one could have imagined that it was because of the fact that she was close to Han So-young and Han Si-woo, whom she liked. Even if some of her subordinates thought about it at first glance, they couldn’t say it out of their mouths and to their superiors.
‘Umm, I don’t know.’
7 The princess hurriedly headed for her own palace in her uneasy mood.
Even so, she was constantly lost in her thoughts.
‘Is there really any means to stop him?’
A worry that came to think of Adlen as an opportunity.
But no answer came.
No matter how you think about it, Siwoo Han is too powerful.
The powerful masculinity that fascinates countless women, the overwhelming phallic power that shocked everyone, the brain that thinks properly with the head as well as the lower body, and the symbol of a saint born in hundreds of years. It’s all gathered in one man.
‘The only possibility is, of course, four S-class male warriors, and SS-class warriors.’
But even this is not realistic.
First of all, there is no one among the male warriors who can touch Han Si-woo.
In the Glazer Empire, there is an absolute shield called SS-class warrior Han So-young and 3rd Princess Helena.
The Cheonan Empire has a good impression due to the similar lineage of appearance and the fact that he inherited Guo Yong Seong, and he has a hundred called Princess Beach. The Holy Empire also believes in Ariel, the SS-class hero, and that hero will not move, let alone the male warrior of the Elbazon Kingdom.
‘I’ve already bought the favor of two SS-class warriors. As long as Han So-Young is there, Adlen-sama will not be able to touch him, and even the Cheonan Empire is quiet.’
“…”
7 The princess trembled with her body.
The more I think about it, the more I get goosebumps.
Currently, the man named Han Si-woo was truly an invincible being.
‘It looks like the continent will revolve around him for at least a few years.’
“Mmm.”
She was seriously worried.
Maybe she should put aside her mother’s request and go to her sister, the third princess. She has a twin sister there too and she won’t deny herself if she’s the 3rd princess. He has received a lot of joy since he was young, but how will he push his younger brother away?
‘Here’s a few secrets from the faction of the second prince…’
The 7th princess is deeply troubled.
Thanks to her hard work, she now has her own palace in front of her nose, but she has no choice but to stop her steps.
“Whoops, are you here?”
“Ah…”
Her first princess, Nestra Glazer, was looking at her, waving her blonde hair.
“1, 1 Princess.”
“Whoa, what is the first princess so you can feel the distance. Call me unnie.”
“…?”
The 7th princess was overcome with bewilderment.
When she said just a few months ago that she was more polite and called her 1st Princess, when else would she say something like this? She could be sure that she could count on her fingers ten times in her life that she had called one princess her sister.
But whatever her heart was, the words that came out of her mouth were different.
“Yes, sister.”
“Huh, yes. Now you’re like my younger brother.”
“…”
The intention is too deceitful.
However, the first princess is one of the five most powerful children of the current emperor.
Except for the fact that she is from the faction of the second prince, she has no power, so she has no choice but to bow her head.
“What did you find me for?”
“Whoops, what business does her sister need to find her brother? She just came to see her face.”
‘Ugh, I don’t like it…’
An eerie face full of pretense and clearly showing his intentions.
7 The Princess truly hated her 1 Princess. Her quest for power is the same as her 3 princesses, but for a radically different reason.
If the purpose of her 3rd princess is to obtain her throne and make the Glazer Empire rich, then the 1st princess is just her throne and power itself is her purpose.
“That’s right. I’m glad you came here.”
“Huh, right? Then, why don’t you go to my palace and have a cup of tea to make friends after a long time?”
“Yes…”
The 7th princess following her 1st princess with a half-rotten expression.
She acted so friendly, and her younger sister followed her behind instead of beside her, but it was really like a first princess that she didn’t point out. She thought she was lucky though, thanks to her she was able to crumple her face to her heart’s content.
When the 7th princess arrived at her 1st princess’s palace, she was able to realize her purpose.
“Four o’clock!”
“Ah! Warrior!”
Two men and women hugging as if they had waited as they entered.
‘Haha, it’s Michael…’
S-class hero Michael.
He is the highest-ranking male hero in the Glazer Empire, and at the same time the husband of the first princess.
“What are you doing here?”
“Of course, I’ve been waiting to see you at four o’clock.”
Her couple acted out awkwardly, but the 7th princess noticed that this was her 1st princess’ intention. It is clear that the faction is going to use a different strategy as the faction is increasing and the situation is unfavorable.
To attract another empress or empress as an ally.
The best way for him is to get married too. That is, to dedicate his half-sister to her husband Michael. Even though the expression was harsh, the 7th princess thought that she was practically a sacrifice.
‘It’s the worst.’
“Hey, I never thought you would come with my sister-in-law. Come on.”
“Yes…”
Suddenly, the word sister-in-law struck the 7th princess in the head.
A word meaning the wife’s sister.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t she be a sister-in-law to that person, Han Si-woo?
‘And to me, he’s my brother-in-law… Hehe♡’
Her hour was annoying and annoying, but her words about her brother-in-law and her sister-in-law made her feel better. Of course, not towards this frivolous and vulgar man.
