268 Episode 186.5: Scarlett's office

That day I summoned three people to my office: Rose, Ruby and Jonathan.

The three are locked up because they disobeyed my life, the emperor, and because of the sin of putting their hands on Jin, the guest.

The three of them who called are still handcuffed and shackled, with their freedom sealed.

Ruby looks sad, Jonathan is about to regret it, but Rose is flat.

Until a while ago, I said that I was in a state of no remnants to see...

I declare with a view to Rose and Ruby.

"Rose, Ruby. I want you to be Jin's slaves."

"Accepted."

Rose was instant. I didn't see any strays.

"Hey, Dad! What are you going to do!? And Rose! Why are you accepting?

As expected, but Jonathan's been biting.

Rose, apart from punishment for Ruby and punishment for Jonathan, Jonathan cares about her half-brother Ruby.

If Ruby was told he would be a slave, there would be no way he could keep quiet.

"Whatever you're going to do, you're going to disobey my life, and you're going to punish me for putting your hands on Jin."

"So how can that be the story of that bastard's slave!

"What? You want all three to be executed? If you disobey the Emperor's life, you deserve to be executed, don't you? I'm not gonna let you tell me you don't understand that, okay?

"Gu......"

Groaning Jonathan.

This country has a very strong emperor power. That's a country that's turning around well.

For the sake of purpose, I am not willing to let down the Emperor's authority in my stead, even though I will eventually descend from the Emperor's throne.

If you do that, I can't apologize to Lion for thinking about this country until the end.

Therefore, even I cannot translate it more than once proclaimed "Emperor's Life".

Whether it's your own child, you can't stop the execution.

I guess I'm disqualified as a parent around not being able to prioritize my own children.

Now, I don't think I can even change it...

The only person in such a situation who can wait is the victim, Jin.

Only if there is a proposal from the victim will a path emerge other than execution.

If a disrespected Guest says so, it gives him warmth.

Honestly, there are some parts of me that I was hoping Jin would suggest.

It was a little unexpected to say slave, but it should be better than execution.

"If Jin hadn't told me he would enslave Rose and Ruby, I would have executed all three of them"

"... what happens to me?

He had a full head about Ruby and didn't even care about his disposition.

"All you do is strip me of my inheritance. Otherwise it will be basic, as it has always been."

"Then I'll be a slave! So make Ruby's disposition a disinheritance!

Obviously, Jonathan's disposition is light, so I don't know what it's like to say that.

But I can't do that.

"Ruby becomes a slave, which makes your disposition lighter. You can't reverse it there."

"... what do you mean?

"Jin says it's to make Ruby a slave without worries"

Jin has a really good personality.

"Imagine how you would feel if you were alive and if you were executed, after being enslaved."

"I'm a hostage..."

You're probably right.

To say whether Ruby is alive or not is a big difference, as a certainty that Ruby will become a slave.

If my brother had been executed, there would be a lot of resentment, but I can't resent him on the matter any more than he is alive. That's why Jonathan's disposition is clearly light.

"... why did Rose not complain and admit to being a slave?

So Jonathan's spearhead headed for Rose.

"I have nothing against being Jen's slave. I mean, I'm already Jen's loyal servant, just not engraved with a slave crest. Absolute obedience."

"Yep...?

Jonathan extinguishes.

I don't think I put it on my face, but I feel the same way.

Humans, it's something that changes if you change...

"Jonathan, this is a message from Jin. 'If Jonathan and Ruby both become legitimate people, you can let them see you'... so be it. At least Jin said he wasn't going to shake Ruby pointlessly. I don't mean to be relieved, but it's not like there's no hope."

"Is that true!?

I snort in silence.

Either way, you don't have to tell me Jonathan is more conditionally strict.

Ruby is to be re-educated as a slave under Jin.

The Crown Princess's authority disappears and she is educated as just a slave girl. You'll grow up the way Jen wants.

Can the opposing Jonathan be what Jen wants from now on?

Anyway, trying to protect my sister, the means chosen were the raid.

I find it difficult to re-tap the sexual roots now.

"Disposition is something we've already decided on. No matter what Jonathan says, there's no turning around.... when you get out of here, you won't be able to see each other until the conditions are met, so finish your greeting."

Jonathan looked remorseful, dropped his hips and made him the same height of sight as Ruby.

Holding Ruby's hand with his handcuffed hand, he speaks with a serious look.

"Ruby, I know it's hard, but come on. I'll do my best to see Ruby, too."

Ruby nods cocklessly.

Then, for a little while, the two exchanged words and it was time for division.

Rose and Ruby are taken to Jin's maid of honor, and Jonathan will be spending some more time in the cabin. At least not until Jin returns.

"Father, are you calling?

"Oh, come in."

It was my eldest daughter, Carmine, who came into the office.

It remains in military uniform because it called it in shortly after the end of military service.

I said I didn't need to rush, so I could have changed...

"It's been a long time since your father called me."

Probably the most interactive of my kids is Carmine.

I've missed you for a long time. I can't handle a nostalgic child without a boulder.

You said you were uplifting and interested in the emperor's administration, so you called me when you had time and taught me a lot.

I've been busy here lately, so I haven't had a chance.

"Oh, I have something to tell Carmine."

That's all I said, the office door opened again.

Brother, we're coming in.

It is the silly sister, Rouge, who also came in without a knock.

I heard you were educated under Jin, was that what I heard wrong?

"Hey, why are you here!?

"Mm, Carmine? If you ask me why, it's up to me because my brother called me."

As always, we don't seem to get along very well.

"I know that's true... Or knock!

"I called you, so it's only natural that you should come in. What a waste of time, knocking, huh?

Rouge to say confidently.

"Rouge is right in some ways, but as a lady, what do you think of that?

I can't even say it makes sense, but it's not a good thing if the Empress does.

"Why don't you talk to Jin..."

"Stop that! It was my fault!

Rouge, who used to say there was nothing to be afraid of, is like this.

Human beings, if they change, they change.

"So, what do you want with us?

Rouge coming out of the way openly.

As always, you're an asshole.

"Oh, I called you two to talk about the next emperor."

Ignore the two people who are stunned and move on.

"I know, but I'm not that far away from quitting the emperor in the future. The Emperor's throne is going to give way to those who deserve it at that point."

Hear my words, Carmine asks terribly.

"Your father… talk directly about the matter?

"Oh, I talked to Jin, and I thought it was time to tell him seriously."

Thanks to Jin, things are going to get a lot faster.

My exit could also be faster. You should root it out so you don't have any trouble then.

"He's that important to your father, isn't he?

"Oh, he's an indispensable person for my purpose."

"Again..."

I've heard about Carmine doing Jin a favor.

That's why I tried to tell Carmine first.

"So, who's the next emperor going to be? Is it either of us to say that I called you at this time?

Carmine looks very sorry.

You think I'm gonna pick Rouge.

"Well, it's up to Carmine, isn't it? You don't think you deserve an emperor, do you, Rouge?

"Naturally. I have no reason to be an emperor. We can only make puppet emperors."

"Huh?"

Carmine gives a frightened look, like she doesn't know what it means.

"Carmine, you're the one most deserving of an emperor at the moment."

"Is it true...?

"You can't lie about this."

So far, Carmine's expression hasn't changed dramatically.

I guess I still can't believe it.

"But is it likely that Carmine will be the next emperor? Then it's going to be hard for me to get back to this country."

Carmine and his unfriendly Rouge say a little bit unfortunately.

Only a little bit unfortunate, I guess, because Rouge's place is not already in this country.

"Don't bother with that. Rouge is also deeply connected to Jin. Considering Jin's heart certificate and the country's interests, it would not be a good idea to kick him out. Carmine, what would you do?

"... I cannot give you a position of power in this country, but I will not imitate it like I would throw you out."

When I asked, Carmine tightened her expression and thought a little before answering.

"That's good. There's nothing good about giving Rouge a place."

"Isn't that a little terrible?

"Look at what you do, then say it"

"... you can't say anything"

From the front, it got a lot better, but still, it would still be a no-go range.

The important thing and the position to give is a different story.

"With that said, why did you only call us here? Carmine wouldn't have to call me anyway, would she? Conversely, I am also concerned that I have not called for any other candidates"

For Rouge, you noticed something surprisingly good.

I thought it was Carmine who mentioned that...

"Because Rouge is the one you're most unfriendly with Carmine. It was the former's answer that I wanted to see how both reacted. You're relieved Carmine said he wouldn't rule out Rouge."

"I hate it, but I don't even want to get rid of it"

Carmine muttered in a small voice, "Because your father will grieve," but decided not to listen.

"The latter answer is to say that the other candidates have dropped their priority because they are not as eager to seek the throne of the emperor as Carmine.... two people who were eager to get out of this commotion."

Rose and Jonathan were after Carmine for the throne of the emperor.

rust out of themselves, but it is huge that those two fell off.

"I don't know, but what's going on with the other candidates' stance?

Rouge, who has been away for several years, knows very little about the situation in the crimson empire today.

"You're saying that you don't want to be an emperor are twins of the Third Prince (Ash), the Fourth Princess (Raspberry), and the Fifth Princess (Cranberry). I guess the twins suit their hobbies better in research."

To tell you the truth, it's not like I have no desire to give the Emperor's throne to Ash... the son of Vermillion. But I'm not willing to force myself to do anything I don't want.

"The passive ones are the First Prince (Red) and the Second Princess (Strawberry) and the Sixth Princess (Magenta). They say the two princesses are not very confident. Red says if there's no one else who deserves it, he'll be."

In a way, I guess Red is the darkest heir to my blood.

"If Red admits Carmine, Carmine will be the next emperor without complaint"

"I see, Carmine is certainly the most powerful"

"... Rouge admits to me?

Carmine looks unexpected.

"... I had a lot going on, too. You can't deny Carmine's strength and track record because it's true."

"Yes..."

Says Rouge as he turns away from Carmine.

Listen to Rouge and make Carmine seem just a little happy.

To say you're not close to someone you like and someone you care about is not quite good for your spirit.

I won't even tell you to get along, but it's better to have no extra obsession.

"Excuse me, sir."

That's what came in, Pierre, close by.

"Is something wrong?

"Yes, I received a letter about Master Strawberry"

"Ho."

I asked Strawberry to apologize to the Regalia Beast Nation about the Elgant Empire.

If you think about it at a distance, it would be time to come home.... Something wrong?

"Apparently, Master Strawberry lives in the Kingdom of Brown Wall."

"Huh? Why?

There is a Brown Wall kingdom in a completely different direction from the Regalia Beast Nation.

"After reaching the Land of the Legalian Beasts, they say it was the Kingdom of Brown Wall that got lost and arrived"

"I don't know what that means...... What did the letter from Strawberry say?

"No......, I did not receive a letter from Master Strawberry"

With that said, Pierre said 'in the matter of Master Strawberry'.

I didn't say (...) from Strawberry.

"It came from the Advanced Chamber of Commerce, the Kingdom of Brown Wall branch. They're sending you by air."

"You got everything. Gin guy......"

Also, I owed more to Jin.

Seriously, would you marry Carmine or Strawberry?
