Chapter 847 – 847. A Tyrant for You
“This is the Golden Garden.”
The answer came from behind. It was a pretty voice even for a woman to hear. Linda looked back.
There was a witch with purple hair in a light blue dress.
“It’s a meeting to kill the emperor.”
Linda swallowed. Considering the order she had to enter this place, she could have expected it without difficulty.
However, I was nervous because all the members gathered here were all great people.
In particular, Morgana, the witch at the center of this place, was famous as a notorious woman. Linda, who knew about Morgana through her original novels, was both suspicious of Morgana and convinced at the same time.
Morgana is the enemy who killed the emperor’s mother. And the emperor kills Morgana’s son and mother, captures the daughter and treats her like a dog.
Linda thought of Ophelia. I’ve seen her a few times. Ophelia pursued only her sexual pleasure with her empty eyes, with no hope for her. It is a tool to deal with the emperor’s sexual desire, whose mind has already been broken.
“Looking at you, do you think you know who I am?”
“… Aren’t you Morgana Latier?”
“Right. A witch chased by the emperor. Are you Linda Valentine? A candidate for the emperor’s concubine.”
Concubine candidate.
The emperor’s chosen women. The important thing here is the candidate, not the real concubine. Currently, there are no concubines in the imperial palace. The reason doesn’t matter. This is because Ernel has not yet officially married the emperor.
“… Is it okay if I come here? All of them are great people to participate in this gathering….”
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. Even if there was opposition, most of them accepted you because the story was already over. And once you’re in, you can’t easily let it go. If you don’t want to decide, I’ll erase your memory and let you go.”
“…….”
Linda was troubled.
Killing the emperor objectively is madness. I saw such a great person, but the possibility of success only felt slim. Like Linda in the original novel, she could be used and abandoned.
Thinking of comfort, I’d rather lose my memory and go back. However, people suffering from the emperor keep catching their ankles.
“… What do you want me to do?”
“It’s something only you can do.”
“What only I can do… ? The emperor has many concubine candidates besides me.”
“Right. And most of them succumbed to the emperor. And you are special among concubine candidates. I don’t know why, but the emperor cares about you.”
“…… If you want me to poison the emperor or assassinate him while he sleeps, I’ll decline.”
“We know you can’t kill the emperor in such a clumsy way. All we ask of you is to monitor the Emperor’s every move. I need information from the Emperor. And when the time came…. Help me kill the Emperor.”
“… I know. But I have no intention of doing just what I am told.”
Morgana smiled faintly and nodded her head.
“Thank you for your cooperation. Bernard. Guide Miss Linda.”
“Yes. I don’t know.”
Morgana reaches out to others and shares her story. Linda focused on her ears. It’s quite far away, so I can’t fully understand what it’s about, but I hear words like military.
“Linda. Come this way Let me introduce you to some of the main characters.”
Said Bernard, raising his glasses.
“… That. It’s really embarrassing because I’m in my pajamas right now….”
“It’s okay. No one here cares how Linda dresses. It’s common to come in her pajamas. See Aren’t those people and those people wearing pajamas too?”
“…….”
All of the people Bernard pointed to were men. There were very few women in this garden in the first place. She is only 10% of the total. Linda was the only young woman. Unlike her youthful and beautiful appearance, Morgana is more than twice Linda’s age.
‘After all, if Bernard had told me in advance, she wouldn’t have been wearing pajamas….’
There was no point in arguing now, so I just grumbled inside.
Linda greeted people with Bernard’s help.
“This is Termanplast. And this is Miss Linda Ballatine.”
“Feel free to call me Therman.”
He was a middle-aged man. There are a lot of white spots in his poisonous hair. He said impassively, looking at Linda with her skeptical eyes.
“Call me Linda. The surname Plast is….”
“Okay. Count Plast is me. Our family rebelled against the emperor’s demand to pay taxes, and in return fell. My family was executed, and my daughter was raped by the emperor and committed suicide.”
“…….”
Terman said calmly. However, the rage hidden by the indifference sent chills down Linda’s spine.
“The emperor did not chase after me, who had fled. He only issued a wanted order. The emperor doesn’t even acknowledge me as an enemy. Damn child. He will surely kill me someday….”
“Terman. You were so excited.”
Bernard said. Therman sighed.
“Ah, that’s right. When I think of the emperor, my fever runs out. Did I mention the lady’s name is Linda? She said I’ve heard that name too. It must be a lot of hard work as a candidate for her concubine.”
“… No. At least I won’t die.”
Linda smiled bitterly.
Being a concubine candidate because of her good talk was like a courtesan spreading her legs to the emperor. Still, in exchange for dedicating oneself to the emperor, one could acquire enormous power and wealth.
“I was indifferent. From that day on, it was quite difficult to be considerate of others. Apologize.”
“I’m fine, but I’ll accept Terman’s apology.”
“Thank you. I operate in the shadows and collect all information related to the Emperor. As a concubine candidate, you can get close to the emperor, so there is a high chance of getting information. Let me know when you find out. That’s probably why Bernard introduced you to me.”
“I know. Still, I don’t think I got much information. What the emperor does… Most of it is about hugging a woman.”
“Even small information is good. The trivial information becomes the most threatening…. Let me know if you find out anything new.”
“Yes. Okay.”
Bernard subsequently took her to a cheerful young man with tanned skin and red hair.
“Miss. Do you look good in pajamas?”
“This is Linda Valentine. Don’t tease me too much. Because I am ashamed.”
“Jorhan Melkos. I am the great Admiral of the Empire. Would you like a drink? The wine here in the garden is very good, so you will like it too.”
Johan Melkos. He was a young admiral who ruled the seas of the Empire.
“Thank you, but I will decline. Because I’m weak in alcohol… If you drink now, tomorrow morning will be a big deal.”
“Sorry.”
Linda had a conversation with Johann. It was a small, pointless conversation. Yohan was a heavy man who seemed light-mouthed. What he was up to, she didn’t tell Linda. But she guessed Linda’s work was not difficult.
‘It’s a very big advantage to be able to roam the sea freely.’
There were so many things I could do with Yohan.
Verna introduced another person, then approached Abel Leist. Heir to the Grand Duke of the North. He had dark hair and red eyes and looked at Linda with cold eyes. Linda was startled. His red eyes remind me of Ernel.
“It’s Abel Leist.”
“This is Linda Valentine.”
“…….”
“…….”
The atmosphere cooled down. Linda was reluctant to continue the conversation. Knowing Abel’s personality through her original novel, forcing her to talk to him was counterproductive.
Linda and Bernard sat across from Abel and enjoyed refreshments. Abel did not touch the refreshments. He hated sweet food very much.
She said, “I heard that Ernelle is haunting you.”
“… Among the concubine candidates, it seemed that she didn’t like me very much. Probably because I acted differently than the other concubine candidates.”
Ernel’s bullying was nothing special. At best, it’s all about verbal insults. The reason is that she is a concubine candidate. If Ernelle had really tried to hurt him, he would have had all of his fingernails forcibly removed.
Ernelle did not physically harass her concubine candidate and her beau.
“I have no intention of apologizing for what she did, but first of all, she is from Raist. She is sorry When the Emperor dies, I will kill her myself, so wait for her.”
“… You want to kill Ernel yourself? Wasn’t she a brother and sister with the same blood?”
“She has a hatred for the Raist family. Because she couldn’t become the heir to the Raist family. If she doesn’t have it, she breaks it. She is the bad temper of the woman. She is a disgrace and disgrace to the Raist family, so it is only right for me to deal with her myself.”
“…… You see.”
Linda chewed on her refreshment in a cold sweat. In front of her, it seemed that she would have a hard time getting along with men.
Moments later, Morgana’s voice resounded throughout the garden. She was sure of her magic.
“I have good news.”
Everyone looked at the center of the garden. Morgana stood gracefully.
“A union has finally been formed.”
People in the garden started to mumble. Some people admired it, while others started talking loudly. Everyone was delighted.
“Union… ?”
I’m not talking about this meeting. If this meeting had been an alliance, I would have said that from the beginning.
“Oh, Linda is here for the first time today, so I don’t know. The union Morgana is talking about is a union of countries other than the Empire. Against the empire… , More precisely, the allied powers against the emperor were created.”
“Did all the other countries besides the Empire unite?”
“No. Excluding the northern giant country Solamit. Solamite is currently being conquered by the commander-in-chief, General Lutheon, along with the Raist family, according to the Emperor’s order. Isn’t that right, Abel? How is the war going at this time?”
“… The war is over soon. It is the victory of the empire. It was great that the emperor appeared the other day and slaughtered 10,000 giants of Solamite and returned.”
“Are the nations other than the Kingdom of Solmarit united?”
When Linda asked, Abel and Bernard nodded at the same time.
“The island country in the eastern sea, Grande Kingdom. The King of Grande is famous for his holy sword Excalibur. The Slade Empire, the ruler of the western desert, and the Sultan, who led numerous beastmen, made a decision. The elven kingdom of Maillord believes in the Earth Mother. Since the Emperor has fallen in love with the Earth Mother, he naturally participates in the alliance.”
3 countries united. Excluding the solamite giants in the north, they were the last proper countries. This is the last stand.
‘In addition to the people gathered here… Maybe I can really kill the emperor.’
The emperor must deal not only with enemies outside, but also with enemies within. No matter how invincible the superhuman emperor he is, he will not be able to handle all of them as long as he is alone.
If he had prepared this much, the emperor would die.
If you think about it common sense, yes. But Linda felt uneasy for no reason.
“The time is coming. Everyone, please do your best in your position.”
Despite Morgana’s calm voice, the anxiety did not go away.
•••
Linda walked through her imperial palace.
The place she is heading to is the emperor’s bed. Tonight, she is embraced by the emperor. It wasn’t anything strange. Linda periodically visits the Emperor’s bed and is embraced. She has already done it over 30 times just for that experience alone.
But she never gets used to it. Every time she walks to bed, her body tenses. I am still nervous and my heart is pounding.
Her lower belly tickles as she gets closer to her bed. Linda blushed. My body’s recent reaction was embarrassing.
“Yes.”
Linda stopped her steps. Her lower stomach tickled so much today, perhaps because she didn’t wear panties and was wearing a silk slip that came down to her thighs. No, it’s not just her belly. She put her hand between her legs with her concerned face. Then, with the sound of her goo, her hand slipped out. Her hands were soaked in clear liquid.
Linda’s face was now almost red.
‘At this rate, I’m like a pervert expecting sex with the emperor….’
Pop.
Hearing her juices drip to the ground, Linda bowed her head.
