51 Episode 19 Responsibilities (1/2)

After the feast was over, Lunalie tilted her head .

”Why can't you understand my s*xuality?

”Did you think you were asking me out with that ......?

Vahan looked dumbfounded.

You're right, the outfit was s*xy. I'll give you that.

But I don't see any s*xiness in her words or actions.

I would have thought that he would have flattered her or touched her, but ...... he didn't even do that, he thought he was seducing her. ...... My daughter is pathetic... ...

Flattes III holds his head.

I'm not sure how she became so lacking in femininity despite her beautiful appearance.

Where did I go wrong in raising her, sighs King Frates III.

Well, if the Emperor of Lemuria fell in love with Lunalie and said, ”Give me her! I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to make the most out of it.

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your time and money.

”Lunalie, just give up ......, I don't want to provoke the Emperor.

King Frates III grabbed Lunalie by the shoulders and persuaded her.

Currently, the Kingdom of Khayastan is in the grip of the Lemurian Empire.

He doesn't know what they'll do to him if he offends them in any way.

If the Lemurian emperor is displeased even a little bit by Lunalie's poor seduction, the kingdom of Hayastan will disappear from the map and the Alshak royal family will disappear from history.

...... Okay.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I'm not sure what to say.　Let's not do this .......

I won't stop.

After returning to her room, Lunalie ordered her servant to take a bath.

After returning to her room, Lunalie ordered her servants to bathe, prepare perfume, and bring a negligee for the night crawl.

Basically, servants are creatures that cannot disobey their masters' orders.

The servants tried to persuade Lunalie, but she did as she was told.

After getting out of the bath, Lunalie put on a blue negligee made of silk and decorated with beautiful lace, which the servants had prepared, and looked into the mirror.

The sight of herself in the negligee was very indecent and sensual.

Lunalie blushed involuntarily.

Princess, don't do this. Don't worry, the Emperor of Lemuria is a kind man!

”What proof?

”I can see it in his good face.

Q: Why do you think he is kind?

A: Because he's handsome.

Hey, hey, hey. ......

A: Because he's handsome.

A: You can see it in his face.

And ...... they executed a soldier who tried to assault a woman!　And there's no looting going on. ......

That doesn't prove that he's a good man.

In order to enforce military discipline, we punish those who loot without permission.

It's a rational choice, but that doesn't mean he's acting out of the goodness of his heart.

The Emperor of Lemuria's chambers are guarded by soldiers!

Hercule is always surrounded by skilled elven knights, battle-trained servants, and eunuchs.

Even at bedtime, the door to his ...... room is heavily guarded.

The door to the room is heavily guarded, though the ...... dictator, who tends to be very paranoid, never allows armed men in the room.

”Don't worry. That's not a problem.

Lunalee answers the servant's question and sprinkles perfume on her body.

Perfume, but not just any perfume.

It is a perfume that stimulates the sensuality of the person who smells it. ...... It is a so-called aphrodisiac.

It was one of the specialties of the kingdom of Hayastan, and was a popular product among weary couples, as a small amount of it would turn a man into a beast.

The only drawback is that it works on you before it works on the man.

...... makes me lightheaded.

Lunalie blushed and headed for her room.

She then ordered the servant to place a chair on the bed.

...... What are you doing?

”Nothing.

The servants nodded their heads, but followed Lunalie's instructions.

Lunalie climbed onto the chair, searched the ceiling and opened the ...... hidden door (...).

She then crept straight into the ceiling and ......

I'm off.

He said and closed the door.

The servants looked at each other.

I didn't know there was a way through .......

Erstadt Castle is a Karakuri house.

Lunalie then crawled on all fours, trying not to make a sound, to the ceiling where the Emperor of Lemuria was sleeping.

Then she carefully opened the hidden door and landed without making a sound.

Slowly, she climbed onto Emperor Lemuria's bed and straddled him.

The Emperor of Lemuria ...... No, Hercule was sleeping soundly and comfortably.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

(Now, what should I do?)

Lunalie pondered.

At any rate, I've reached Hercule.

All I have to do now is to be held.

But she doesn't know how to do it.

Should I wake him up?

But if I wake him, he'll kick me out.

This man is not foolish enough to embrace a princess of a country he has no intention of protecting.

In some cases, he might be accused of trying to kill her.

Well, Lunalie doesn't have any intention to assassinate Hercule.

If Lunalie stabbed Hercule with a knife, the next morning the enraged Lemurian army would reduce the kingdom of Hayastan to ashes.

Even though the emperor has this kind of personality, he is somehow well-liked by his subjects.

”Haha. ......

Lunalie sighed.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

You can see it in the faces of his subjects and soldiers.

Everyone is full of confidence.

No one doubted Hercule the man, the emperor.

Even if his personality is not trustworthy, even if he is far from kind, even if he is more of a tyrant than a monarch: ......

In the end, they will bring victory, wealth, and glory to the Lemurian Empire.

The vassals of Hercule, down to the last soldier, have never doubted that.

What is required of a monarch is not character.

It's leadership.

If a monarch can lead a nation to glory, everyone is willing to follow him, no matter how terrible his character.

In comparison, what about King ...... of Hayastan, Lunalie's father, King Frates III?

Lunalie adores King Frates III as a father and as a person.

He's a kind man, she knows.

And everyone in Erstadt and Hayastan knows it.

That's why the volunteer army gathered.

But ......

That's it.

King Frates III always looks unsure.

So do the people of Khayastan, the soldiers, the vassals.

They all look insecure.

And they look at Hercule and the soldiers and generals of Lemuria and sigh.

Though she doesn't say it out loud, Lunalie knows exactly what they're thinking when they sigh.

Because she feels the same way.

That is, ......

I want to serve such an emperor. I want to be loyal. I want to fight for my life under his command. I want him to lead me. I want you to rule over me. I want you to be the sovereign of this land.
