Chapter 201: Imperial Family and Guards (1) *

Chapter 201: Imperial Family and Guards (1) * The capital of the Lexis Empire, which boasts the greatest national power of mankind, especially the Imperial Palace.

The emperor was busy working in the imperial palace, which was so large that even from outside the inner city, its grandeur could be appreciated at least in part.

People who don't know think that if they become the emperor, they will be able to have fun and eat, but that wasn't the case at all.

In the empire, the higher the status of people, the more divided they were.

In places like small kingdoms located in the rear, far from the front line against the Demon King's army, there were places where the king really enjoyed hoarding all kinds of gold and silver treasures, but at least that wasn't the case in the empire.

Did God decide to make it the last bastion of mankind? It was a holy army during the three reigns since the war against the Demon King began.

They ruled under an outstanding emperor for not 10 or 20 years, but for decades, and all the corrupt nobles had to be cut off and hung in the square.

There were cases where lower-ranking nobles, who were not easily visible to the emperor, managed to hide themselves from such purges, but from the perspective of the empire as a whole, it was a matter of lower priority than other matters.

In any case, most of the high-ranking members of the empire, who had been honed over three generations, were excellent individuals who shouldered duties commensurate with their status.

The emperor, who was at the top of the imperial nobility, was always busy with his work.

The emperor had been going to work for several hours today, and was just looking at documents.

– Knock.

For the first time, a different sound was mixed into the fight against the mountain of documents that seemed to continue endlessly if left as is.

– Your Majesty, this is Barei.

"Please come in."

The person who opened the door, which was so well maintained that the hinges did not even make a sound, and came in was Baray, the successor to the Thames family, who is in charge of politics among the three ducal families of the empire.

As soon as the door opened and the face of the emperor working at the desk came into view, Barei saluted the emperor from his spot.

"Okay, come in quickly."

The emperor, Tyrois, waved her hand in the air as if such courtesy was a hassle.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Don't we have eyes to see today?"

Normally, Barei would have expected this kind of reaction from the emperor and simply passed over it, but today there was a different person present, so it was necessary to attach more importance to the ritual.

"Seeing eyes? Ah... Are you okay? This person is... "

T. Royce interrupted him there, thought for a moment, and then spoke again.

"... No. What if it's not okay? "I am the emperor."

"Well, what your Majesty said is correct."

Despite T. Royce's reckless words, Baray just shrugged his shoulders.

Certainly, at a time when the emperor's imperial authority was at its peak at an unprecedented level even in the entire history of the empire, there was no one who would criticize the emperor for simply asking her to skip court etiquette.

Moreover, it was said that the reason was not for anything else but because it interfered with his work as an emperor, and there were few people who could complain about that.

I was just saying it to Baray, but I didn't intend to say that I wouldn't be a good example if I didn't follow etiquette seriously.

Barei glanced behind the emperor.

Not long ago, there was only the emperor in the emperor's office, but now one of the palace guards is now escorting the emperor in the office.

The emperor, who had said that he did not need troops to guard him, saying, 'A guard has a guard's job,' decided to receive a guard on some whim.

Literally one day, he suddenly changed his words, and it was hard to describe it as anything other than a whim, but Baray just clapped his hands in joy.

In the first place, isn't protecting His Majesty the Emperor the highest priority among the guards' duties? It was strange that until now I had refused to do something else.

Of course, in terms of simple force, there were not many people in the empire who were as strong as the emperor, but as protection was not simply due to weakness, Barei was one of the people who regularly recommended receiving protection from the emperor.

'But wasn't that guard the same guard yesterday?'

A thought suddenly occurred to Barei, and he looked closely at the face of the guard standing behind the emperor, but nothing came to mind.

Although he was not as big as the emperor, he was the most busy person in the Bareido Empire.

He was not leisurely enough to remember the faces of each and every palace guard.

Barei quickly put his doubts about the guard out of his mind.

"So Baray, what's going on?"

"Oh, yes. This is a report on the battle that occurred on the 24th Front."

"24th Front?"

When Tyrois tried to remember where it was, Baray told him first.

"This is where His Majesty Gartson is currently."

"Ah. "It was where he was."

Gartson is the husband of Empress Tyrois.

Since Tyrois possessed all the power that an emperor should have, Gartson was not given much power.

However, as the authority and symbolism of being the emperor's husband remained, he would tour the front lines about once a year on behalf of Tyrus, who was busy with her work, and boost the morale of her soldiers.

Of course, it was not a single-digit front line, but at most a double-digit back line, but it had a significant morale-boosting effect, so it was like an event that took place every year.

"How is he doing these days?"

"They say there is no particular problem. Ah... "

Barei's words, which he had been answering indifferently, were briefly interrupted.

What does this mean something happened?

Tyrois was anxious and urged Baray to say his next words.

"What happened? "Say it."

Baray was a little hesitant about T. Royce's words, and only after taking some time did he reveal his story.

"That... This is not properly confirmed information yet... "

"Speak."

"I'm in a good mood with the princess of a certain kingdom who also came to comfort me at the front... "

"Hmm... "

T-Rois just snorted quietly, but somehow Baray felt the air in the office getting colder.

Baray hastily added before T. Royce's eyes grew colder.

"Ji, this is truly unconfirmed information! There are such rumors, but it is not even known which kingdom the princess is, so the intelligence agency assumes that it is really just a rumor!"

It was only after pouring out the remaining information at such a rapid pace that I wondered if I had ever spoken so quickly in recent times that the temperature in the office began to return little by little.

"Then it must be a rumor. Or maybe some reckless country is playing a trick... "

T. Royce made that decision with slightly calmer thoughts.

Plots aimed at rising status by clinging to high-ranking power figures were, in fact, so common that it would be embarrassing to even call them ploys.

It would be very rare if the 'high-ranking authority figure' was the emperor's husband, but the method itself was the same.

So, Tyrois thought this time was another one of those tricks. seaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Either he is really trying to seduce Gartson and become his concubine, or he is leaking information that he is on good terms with Gartson and showing off to neighboring countries that he has connections with the empire...

Of course, Gartson was only the emperor's husband, not the emperor, so the idea of ??Gartson taking a concubine was nothing more than nonsense in the empire, but in most kingdoms, like the empire, the position of supreme leader was not open to women. There were often cases where it was mistaken as an opportunity worth taking.

Because people do not properly consider things that are different from their common sense.

At least it won't be a matter of Gartson's own will.

In that case, there is nothing that an emperor cannot show mercy to.

Thinking so, T. Lois said enough was enough and sent her barre away.

Although it was not directed at him, Baray, who experienced the emperor's intimidation even for a moment, retreated from the emperor's office faster than usual.

And again, only the emperor and the guards were left in the office.

The emperor paid no attention to the guards and meditated for a moment in front of the documents brought by Barei.

When you are in the position of emperor, you inevitably count people as numbers.

Every single soldier has a family and a life, but the death of such a soldier is only expressed as a number going up on a piece of paper.

Therefore, in order not to forget his feelings of mourning for them, Tyrois always held a solemn moment of silence in front of documents related to post-war processing.

After finishing the silent prayer, Tyrois held the quill pen again.

No matter how necessary mourning was, mourning for the dead was not more important than the lives of the living.

Inside the office, only the crunching sound could be heard again.

And a few hours later.

"Your majesty. It's time for a break."

The voice of the guard woke up Tyrois, who was lost in his work.

"Ah. Thank you. ... Barnes."

After hearing the guard and Barnes' words, T. Royce looked up and checked the time, relaxed his body and leaned back against the back of his chair.

The chair, which boasts the highest quality, to the point where even the word 'highest quality' is not enough, embraced T. Royce's body comfortably.

"Excuse me."

Barnes came up behind T. Royce, who was sitting on a chair and relieving his tiredness...

"Uhm... "

I slowly massaged T. Royce's breasts.

T. Royce stuck out his chest as if asking for more touching, closed his eyes, and made a moaning sound.

Barnes, who was massaging T. Royce's breasts gently but not violently, eventually slowly lowered his head and stole T. Royce's lips.

"Hmm... "

Chureup, Chureup.

Tongues intertwined, creating an obscene sound of water.

The two exchanged saliva for a while, feeling the other's body temperature, and only when their jaws got sore did they separate their lips.

Said Barnes, looking at his cheeks flushed with excitement and his lips glistening with saliva.

"Were you that worried that Her Majesty Gartson might have been having an affair?"

"Ah... That... "

T. Royce couldn't give a proper answer to Barnes, who gently twisted her nipple and asked mischievously.

If you think rationally, the positions of the emperor's husband and the emperor were different.

This means that even if Gartson cannot take a concubine, there is nothing that Tyrois, the emperor, cannot do.

However, apart from being rational, it was a bit disturbing to T. Lois to ask for chastity only from her husband, so she couldn't say anything.

As if he was okay with that, Barnes tickled and kissed Tyrois' nipples again.
