211. Noble Competition (3)
The emperor had a dream.
A series of strange dreams he had a few days ago.
A lioness, a wolf, and a young leopard followed the black fox.
Fortunately, they returned to their own arms.
Afterwards, she expressed her affection by rubbing herself against the emperor’s leg.
「Oh… Okay. “You’re back!!”
The animals actually gained weight and looked better than before.
Plus, the fur was shiny and looked really nice.
「As expected…. It was just a dream….」
The emperor was satisfied with the wild beasts that returned with a grin.
He slowly laid down on the grass and pressed his face against the lion’s soft stomach.
Then, a leopard cub came to the side and pounced.
Even a beautiful silver wolf resting its chin on his side.
Leonhard had nothing to envy others at this moment.
I just wanted to let go of everything and fall into a deep, peaceful sleep.
But.
The stomach of the lioness, who had laid her head down peacefully, twitched.
As if reacting to someone approaching.
「… ?」
The emperor raised his body and followed the beasts that raised their heads.
That moment.
「Um, that guy!!」
The black fox he had been wary of appeared.
With the meat of a huge beast in her snout.
With his nine tails, he leisurely approached and placed his prey on the ground.
As if providing food as his husband.
「Go away!! How dare you tell me where this is!”
The emperor wrung his huge hands and tried to drive the fox away.
However, the guy just tilted his head as if he didn’t even feel the old Conqueror’s touch as an attack.
The guy gets on his lap with a rather sly gesture.
As if he recognized the emperor as his family, he even twisted his torso on his lap.
「Hey, this guy… ?!
Leonhardt’s eyes widened at the sight of the fox shamelessly building a nest.
There were fang marks on the nape of the guy’s neck, probably made while hunting.
「How dare you build a coil!」
He tried to throw the guy away to show the majesty of a leader lion.
But, at that moment.
「… !!」
Foxes with curls and wild beasts clinging to the emperor.
They gently embraced the emperor.
「Oh, no. “It’s suffocating, you guys!!”
The emperor tried to somehow send out the fox and monopolize the wild beasts.
However, the lioness, wolf, and leopard embraced them with their soft fur.
To prevent everyone from falling together.
「Wow….」
Leonhardt tried to shake off the warm feeling that surrounded him somehow.
However, the wild beasts’ embrace was too warm for that.
「….」
A spirit that gradually becomes too tired to resist.
He had no choice but to follow the trend and begin to melt in the warm embrace.
However, he soon came to his senses.
And the moment when he somehow managed to show his face from the fur of the wild beasts.
「Hmm… ?」
Without realizing it, a voice as clear as when I was young came out.
Because they witnessed a ‘being’ who came to their side while they had not seen each other before.
「You….」
A beautiful body with brilliant golden fur.
And even the blue eyes that look like they are studded with jewels.
When the emperor saw the lioness who had returned to his side, his lips stiffened without realizing it.
However, the female suffered numerous wounds without anyone seeing it.
The conquering king stretched out his hands, feeling an uncontrollable rush.
The moment when she was about to reach her….
「―――――」
“Father!!”
He opened his eyes to the voices of the princesses calling him.
「Huh… !!」
Leonhardt reflexively stood up.
He barely came to his senses in bed.
“You’re awake!”
“I was so worried!!”
“I will call the medical staff.”
The daughters shouted one after another, starting with Lydia.
Their beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
「Oh, no…. I’m okay….」
The emperor had a dumbfounded expression on his face, as if he could still see the beautiful lioness in his mind.
Then he finally came to his senses and recognized his daughters.
「I had a strange dream….」
“What kind of dream was that to make you look so overwhelmed?” ?”
Leah asked as representative.
Then, the emperor looked at the hair of his eldest daughter, who was as beautiful as a lion, and muttered.
「Lion….」
“Yes?”
Leah, wearing a dress that hugged her voluptuous body, tilted her head.
Her appearance was attractive, and at the same time, she felt like a cute cat.
「No…. “Don’t worry, you just saw something.”
Leonhard caressed her daughter’s soft cheek as if to reassure her.
The feel was similar to the belly of the lioness I felt in my dream.
「Whoa….」
The emperor also looked at Irina and Lydia’s faces one by one.
Afterwards, I was looking around.
「Hmm?!」
He made eye contact with me, who was watching happily from a distance.
‘Why are you suddenly glaring at me…? ?’
The emperor opened his eyes wide as if he were seeing some kind of ghost.
I stared intently at it to see if it looked similar to something I had seen in my dream.
“I’m so glad you’re awake, Your Majesty.”
I bowed my head and greeted him from afar.
Then, the emperor spoke to me in a trembling voice.
「Lord Veil….」
His eyes were especially focused on my neck.
The emperor looked very closely at the area covered by the collar of his uniform dress shirt.
「Please come here for a moment.」
“What’s going on…?” ?”
As I approached him calmly, the emperor stretched out his hand.
And then, as if to check something, I grabbed the collar of my dress shirt with trembling hands.
「Please show me the back of your neck for a moment.」
Everyone fell silent at the touch of the conqueror.

Thanks to this, the tension heightened even more.
「… !!」
Finally, the emperor lifted his shirt collar.
That moment.
He faced the nape of my neck, which was clean and unscathed.
「As expected, it was a dream….」
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, he laughed off Leah’s sudden behavior that he had seen before fainting, thinking it was an illusion.
“I think it’s because you’re tired. “It’s been a while since you participated in a large event, right?”
Leah smiled her sensual eyes at her father.
As if there is something to hide.
「Okay…. There were still things to think about after the game….」
The emperor was under a lot of stress due to the disciplinary action against his son and empress. He decided to move on and say that he saw a vision while fainting.
“Let’s lie down a little longer and get some rest, father.”
Leah, like the sturdy eldest daughter, covered her father’s blanket even more.
As I bent down and helped her lie down, her voluptuous skin also shifted downward.
“….”
I was secretly looking at Leah’s beautiful curves, pretending not to care about her.
Then, she turned her head and made eye contact with her.
“… !”
She gives me a naughty smile.
After pointing to the nape of her neck as if to signal her, she made a ‘shush’ pose, telling him to be quiet.
She nodded, rubbing the back of her neck as if responding to the 1st princess.
Then, her magic was released and the clear fang marks were revealed again.
「Whoa….」
“Father, can you attend the party this evening?”
Irina asked the emperor with worried eyes.
Leonhard slowly nodded her head as if responding to this.
「I have to attend. “Wouldn’t the whole people be anxious after hearing the news that I had collapsed?”
“Okay, don’t overdo it and come out slowly.”
The second princess of the empire has grown into a neat and mature woman.
The emperor seemed to be at ease at the sight of her worried eyes.
“I will definitely wait.”
The same goes for Lydia, the third princess of the empire, who was waiting by her side.
She hugged her father with a cute appearance, like her youngest daughter.
It was only after hugging her small body that the emperor’s anxiety was finally able to subside.
「Okay…. How could I show myself weak for you? “I’ll see you all at the party.”
The three noble princesses each discreetly covered their breasts and lowered their heads.
After that, she passed me side by side.
“See you later.”
Leah passed by, gently touching my neck where there were fang marks.
She has a haughty, leisurely gait like her queen.
Like a confident empress.
“Get some rest, Bale too.”
Irina smoothed the collar of my dress shirt.
She covered the rosary that she had buttoned and given me.
Like a neat wife who prepares her husband for work.
“Don’t get too excited. “Would you write if today’s protagonist was shaking?”
Lydia also gently held my hand.
When we gently clasped our hands together, the rings on each other’s fingers resonated clearly.
Like new lovers who put rings together.
“Please enter carefully.”
The naughty eyes of the princesses.
Even in front of the emperor, their secret marking continued to the point where it was unbearable.
“Whoa…” .”
I was only able to take a deep breath after they were completely out of the bedroom.
「….」
The emperor lying in bed.
He looked at me with a calm expression.
Is it because he no longer has to hide his feelings from his daughters?
He seemed happy because he now felt like he could freely express his affection for them.
「Yes, Lord Bale. “How do you feel now?”
“It feels like I’m flying.”
In line with the emperor’s mood, I also spoke honestly.
I definitely felt like I had also overcome a big hurdle.
「Along with the Great General of the Empire, he was the only knight among the knights worthy of the rank of leader. So much so that he has a say in the emperor.”
Right to speak.
After waiting for those words, I slowly approached him.
After that, he turned his back and politely opened his mouth.
“I was already waiting for that issue.”
「Do you already have something to ask me…? ?」
The emperor said in surprise, his blue eyes flashing.
“Yes. Because it’s a pretty important issue….”
「I’m curious just hearing you say it. “Hurry up and tell me.”
Leonhard got up and leaned against the wall.
And then, he stared at me with the wise eyes of a conquering monarch.
“….”
I took a deep breath for a moment.
Then I brought out the proposal I had prepared.
“How about meeting Her Majesty the Empress at the party tonight?”
When the ruler of the continent heard the person I mentioned, he said nothing for a moment.
He just makes eye contact with me with cold eyes.
「You mean Rosanna…? ? “She said the child is now in confinement.”
“I know, but as you know, Your Majesty, there is currently a misunderstanding between you two.”
I spoke as calmly as I could so as not to get on his nerves.
“I plan to provide a space to clear up that ‘misunderstanding.'”
「….」
The emperor stared at me with very serious eyes, as if trying to understand my intentions.
Then, he looked at the distant window and quietly warned.
「Veil. I commend you for subduing all of Rosanna’s black knights. However, this is a private matter between me and that child.”
Leonhard raised his finger.
Then, he pointed to my face and said.
「There is no need for you to worry about the royal family’s affairs.」
“I know. However, as the First Sword in charge of the empire’s security, I think this issue should be resolved as quickly as possible.”
I spoke confidently, using the position he gave me.
Then, the emperor was speechless when he heard that his wife was openly threatening his security.
「Hmm….」
“I know that Your Majesty still cherishes Her Majesty the Empress. However, it is also true that she is the culprit of this whole situation.”
「Rosanna doesn’t even want to talk to me.」
The emperor muttered in a pitiful voice.
His hands, holding the blanket tightly, trembled slightly.
「I killed all of his younger siblings in front of that child. Even ignoring the voices that were pleading.”
“Wasn’t there a reason?”
「I know. However, if you say that you are going to kill Irina, Leah, and Lydia right in front of my eyes because they are a threat to the empire…. Can you survive with your sanity? ?」
After listening to the emperor’s words, I was speechless for the first time today.
From what I heard, I also wouldn’t have been able to bear it if they were going to kill the princesses in front of my eyes for some reason.
「Honestly, there were innocent children among them….」
I nodded quietly.
Then, the emperor smiled bitterly, saying that not even I could help this situation.
「No matter how much you do, you won’t be able to change that child’s mind.」
Leonhardt sighed like an old lion abandoned by its companion.
Until a little while ago, I thought my mood was relieved thanks to my daughters.
He must have felt sorry for his wife, as his eyes twinkled in the deep shadows.
However, the corners of his eyes soon hardened.
“Don’t worry.”
The empress’s heart, which he could not change for a long time….
Because she said that this black fox-like man turned her around.
“Her Majesty the Empress will attend.”
「… ?」
Leonhardt looked up at me with absurd eyes.
I smiled broadly at this.
“You promised me to talk to Your Majesty.”
The emperor then remembered a scene he had seen in his dream.
The reason why a mature lioness that I had never seen before suddenly appeared.
The female also followed the black fox back to herself.
「How did you…? .」
I came close to His Majesty the Emperor.
Then, he knelt down and spoke confidently like a trustworthy son-in-law.
“I will order you to prepare clothes from His Majesty’s heyday.”
Actually, the main character of today’s party is not me, but the emperor and empress.
“After a long time, you can cool your hair with pomade. “You shave too.”
Now she is the great witch of the empire and a rare evil woman.
All you have to do is bring Rosanna.
I don’t know what sweet traps will lurk in the imprisoned imperial palace.
However, if only she could change her mind….
The last evil that was corroding the empire from within will come to an end.
