Chapter 88 – Imperial Palace Area ~ Spreading Rumors and Shadows 1
Today, a week has passed since the secret teahouse opened.
At first, thanks to the high expectations of customers who flocked in early, the second floor and basement were full and there were not enough seats.
Even if he became a pervert lesbian who was so absorbed in bobim sex that he tried to fuck all the innocent women around him, he was probably a noble, and he hated waiting and crowds.
The reason was that it undermined dignity. Of course, there was not a shred of dignity in the sight of people lying down in a vulgar manner at a place where they went to have sex and having their pussies tormented one-sidedly with slobber dripping from their lips, but since customers expected dignity, a simple rule was made.
We made sure to make a reservation to avoid crowding out all at once.
Usually, this method was used by high-ranking nobles to utilize their privileges and enter without reservations, but this time, no nobles could visit without making a reservation.
It’s already an open secret in the lesbian village who runs this teahouse, but who dares Natsuki and Fuyuki. Do you want to be hated by the women who will become the next emperor?
And as a penalty, they were banned from entering the lez village and secret teahouses, so it became a rule that they had to follow unless they decided to create a separate lez village.
And as the so-called aristocratic women regularly came and went to the secret teahouse, the merchants who quickly caught on to trends began purchasing surrounding buildings at the speed of lightning. It was filled with stores selling goods for nobles.
Merchants who wanted more nobles to gather here and spend money hired windbreakers without me asking them to do so and started spreading the word on the streets that this was a place where a new trend for noble women was blooming.
As rumors spread on the streets, they reached the ears of nobles through employees, and began to flow as a huge stream, reaching out to nobles who were already visiting.
It only took a week for the situation to spread to this point, so if nobles and merchants who were sensitive to trends and other people’s opinions worked together, anything was possible.
Of course, the better things go, the more strange things get entangled.
There has been an increase in why noble women flock here regardless of faction, what they talk about inside, and the number of things with dark and dirty desires hanging around.
Thanks to this, Aiko, who was on the lookout for any suspicious people hiding in the building, spent the whole day moving around and cleaning up the squirrels so busily that she couldn’t even see their faces. There were so many squirrels that they even thought they were enemies and fought with each other.
Haha!”
When she entered the imperial palace and told this story to the emperor, she laughed loudly and pounded the floor with her palms.
“Is this your first time hearing it?”
“That’s the internal opinion. “I am well aware of the outside world’s perspective and what happens at the royal council meeting.”
“Then, is this something I can ask?”
“Of course. “It’s not something that those with the greatest accomplishments can’t hear.”
The emperor covered his mouth and lowered his voice as if he thought it was funny, and laughed for a while before explaining.
“Okay. You said. “Should we start by talking about the impact of noble women coming to visit regardless of faction?”
“Did it have a big impact?”
“Very. It was definitely big. They were like vanguards who exchanged opinions and fought with each other every day at the royal council, but recently both sides have been under attack from their own sides. “I was wondering if he was secretly communicating with the other party while having his daughters interact with him.”
“Oh…”
I imagined it once.
There are suspicions that the two ministers who were fighting over their own interests and screaming at the royal council meeting are actually having their daughters meet as agents behind the scenes to discuss what to exchange in advance? It was fortunate that he was not immediately branded a traitor.
“Fortunately for those two, a variety of women come and go frequently, regardless of faction, so the attackers are worried that they might backlash if they put too much pressure, so they are just holding back.”
“Then aren’t you sending your daughter to the teahouse to regain influence?”
“Okay. If you think about it normally, it is. But think about it this way. Stop the action as soon as suspicion is aroused? Don’t you feel more suspicious? Since he was caught, doesn’t it look like he’s running away before we can find conclusive evidence?”
If you try to stop because you feel suspicious, the act of stopping itself is also suspicious.
“And you’re not going to a tea house that’s popular with all noblewomen? Don’t you know that when you go out of style and go to social gatherings? It’s a hot topic among nobles these days. And since there is no reason to empathize with each other, the relationship becomes estranged.”
“That’s right.”
As for me, I am thankful for the women who constantly visit the teahouse where new lesbians are born every day, but I had no idea that something like this was happening in the imperial palace.
“And although it is not officially a store run by the imperial family, unless you are an ill-informed and clueless idiot, you would quickly realize that it is run by the imperial family. Recently, a petition has even been filed asking whether three or four daughters who have no room to inherit the family can be allowed to work there. Of course, I dismissed it as having nothing to do with the imperial family.”
“Wouldn’t it have been okay if you accepted it? “It would have been on my side soon anyway.”
“Aren’t my two daughters and you the ones who actually run it? “I can’t give permission as I please.”
When the person who sat in the position of emperor, who holds all the power in this country under heaven, said that, I felt an itch and averted my gaze.
“So. My two daughters’ presence has improved from being ignored to being notable. Above all, the nobles could not gather together and were scattered. Those who directly attacked the two daughters or indirectly put them in a bad situation keep their mouths shut and their heads down at every royal meeting.”
“Personally, I wish we could do something bigger. “There is not enough evidence to sweep it away now.”
Purge nobles who can attend royal meetings as assassins, intruders, etc.? Even if there was clear evidence, it was a difficult path that could only be achieved through extensive cajoling, bribery, and political pressure. If you openly rebel against the imperial family, there may be confusion, but at least it can be dealt with quickly.
“Are you planning on targeting merchants next? “I heard they are preparing something cheaper and more popular.”
“Yes. The teahouses currently in operation are really for upper-class nobles to show off and show off their culture. “A small and medium-sized nobleman who cannot fit into this type of thing is trying to create something to show off to those below him.”
The level of furniture and decoration should be lowered but not vulgar, so that even if merchants have money, they can feel proud of special items that they cannot obtain due to lack of noble status. I was working on the exquisite lines, asking Natsuki and Fuyuki about them.
“Are merchants and merchants next?”
“Yes. Great nobles, medium-sized nobles, merchants, and the general class. We are trying to spread it out by dividing it into four categories. “Thanks to quick-witted merchants working hard to promote it, I think we will be able to move forward with a much fresher and newer trend than expected.”
“The last thing is for you to announce your marriage with my daughters?”
“… “
Let’s remain silent and look beyond the thin cloth as a sign of permission. The emperor huh. He laughed lowly.
“Just go away. “The conversation was too long with a busy young man.”
I bowed my head in respect and let out a long sigh as soon as I came outside.
“Marriage license. “Did you do it?”
But when you get married, there are two other people besides Natsuki and Fuyuki. What do you think about that?
“… “Do you really want to upset the wedding?”
If that were the case, the four people might go on a rampage and ignite a huge fire in the imperial family. I got into the carriage going outside, thinking that if I didn’t want to turn my beloved lovers into traitors or emperor assassins, I should talk to them in advance.
While I was causing confusion by changing directions as usual, I saw a carriage following me persistently.
When I tapped the coach seat with the back of my hand, Aiko, who was disguised as a coachman, opened a small window. She asked calmly, as if she already knew.
“It looks like a tracker. What are you going to do?”
“If I get caught on purpose, will there be much benefit? Or is there a lot of thread?”
“I think I’ll be scolded, at least by Natsuki and others.”
“But, just because they attacked the imperial carriage, we can wipe out the enemies in one go and easily spread the bobim culture, right?”
“I’ll tell you again, you will be very scolded by others. “It’s to the point where all the water in my body has drained, and I’ve turned into dried fruit.”
“…”
I was scared when I thought about four people holding me and tormenting me until not a single drop of their love came out, but I still believed that this was the way to sort everything out quickly.
“Let’s get caught.”
“Whew. “I don’t know.”
Aiko informed her colleagues who were hiding nearby of the plan with a wave of her hand, and I sat on a chair and quietly waited.
