Chapter 120: Desired Product II

Emperor Carol of the Holy Empire

A powerful monarch who ruled over the largest territory on the continent, rivaled only by the Tarkic Empire, a formidable nation in the east.

Despite his position as the emperor of the continent’s strongest empire, both in name and reality, Emperor Carol, in his mid-twenties, was young and brimming with ambition. His ultimate goal was to achieve the great feat of continental unification, something no one had ever accomplished before.

To this end, immediately after ascending to the throne, he personally ventured onto numerous battlefields, earning countless martial accolades.

However, his relentless pursuit of power now faced a significant crisis.

The vast territory of the Holy Empire, while impressive, also meant that there were many regions to defend.

The number of countries bordering the Empire was so great that they could not be counted on one hand, and among them were several nations with considerable power.

The Kingdom of Frank, which separated the empire’s territory from the center, possessed formidable national strength based on the most fertile land on the continent, even though its territory was smaller than that of the empire.

The Kalmar Alliance in the north, the headquarters of mages, was another traditional powerhouse, small but incredibly strong.

Unlike these nations, which shared a certain level of communication with the Central Church, the eastern enemies of the empire posed a real-time threat.

The Dragona Empire, an emerging power that had rapidly risen over the past 80 years, had even claimed the title of an empire. It was a nation founded on the ideology of being a haven for witches, sorcerers, and demons, who had been rejected by the Church.

Above all, the current Dragona Empress was a witch of immense power, and her husband was a demon, not an ordinary human, leading to a deep-seated grudge against the Church.

Inevitably, this put the Dragona Empire on a collision course with the Holy Empire, the representative of the Church’s forces. Although they were not yet in direct conflict with the Holy Empire, it was already clear who the next target would be once the situation with Hangury was resolved.

Moreover, behind the Dragona Empire stood an even more formidable enemy—the traditional power of the Tarkic Empire, whose national strength rivaled that of the Holy Empire.

This was a dangerous and powerful nation, often seen as the Holy Empire’s primary adversary.

The current ruler, Padishah Shreman, was regarded as the most competent leader in the Tarkic Empire’s history. He actively supported the Dragona Empire to check the Holy Empire and Hangury.

During this time, Shreman was gradually neutralizing the threat posed by Bennett, a maritime powerhouse that had long safeguarded the continent’s seas. ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

There were even reports that, despite religious differences, he had secretly allied with the Frank Kingdom, which was under pressure from the Holy Empire.

This indicated that a full-scale war might begin as soon as the preliminary arrangements were completed.

“It’s comforting that Hangury’s national power is recovering... but this is probably just a temporary reprieve. It’s unreasonable to expect Hangury to contend with both the Dragona Empire and the Tarkic Empire.”

In such a situation, where he possessed significant power but faced dangerous enemies on all fronts, Emperor Carol needed a new strategy to overcome this predicament.

Of course, the current event hadn’t been mentioned in the original novel, and it was highly likely that it hadn’t happened in reality. Bahamut was uncertain about how things would unfold, especially after the Eastern trade incident in Benessa.

The only things he could rely on were Bertina, the organizer, the character of Emperor Carol as he knew him, and the occasional flashes of good ideas that crossed his mind.

‘I lack information, especially compared to the disaster that will happen in the future... But I’ll face it head-on. He’s someone I was bound to meet eventually anyway...’

With these thoughts, Bahamut slowly stopped the carriage and began to disembark. As he did, the woman he was pleased to see appeared before him.

“How are you, My Lady”

“You!”

The two entered the bedroom inside the mansion.

After confirming that there were no more obstacles around them, she joyfully embraced Bahamut, her body full of delight.

Bertina Minerva’s voluptuous figure and sweet scent immediately overwhelmed Bahamut’s senses.

“I missed you... really...”

“I, too, always wondered if My Lady was doing well. So, shall we enjoy the next story for the first time in a while? It’s quite late, so...”

“Yes, that sounds good... really.”

Bertina blushed slightly at Bahamut’s words. The two of them then slowly lay down on the bed to spend some time together.

It had become as natural as saying hello.

It felt as though they were the only two people left in the world...such familiar yet intense moments.
