Chapter 413 – Labyrinth Empire Permaten (9)
After arresting Meradin and Serazade by mobilizing knights.
“This is fucked.”
I took a break from telecommunications, then stopped having sex, and went into an emergency meeting.
“Asty. How many refugees did you say came from the south?”
“About seven thousand.”
“Then does the South currently have the administrative power to unite those seven thousand people?”
“Unfortunately, there is none.”
“Tsk. I’m going crazy.”
The 7,000 refugees are not people who think they have free will.
They are tribesmen and the people of Meradin.
“What will the people do if Meradin and Serazade are expelled?”
“Out of the seven thousand, only about one hundred will remain in Fermaten, and the rest will all follow their leaders.”
“Even though they say they will be siblings?”
“For them, such a thing is a very common occurrence in the leadership, Your Majesty. If you were to compare it to what people on this continent accept, wouldn’t it be similar to your Majesty welcoming Zenith as Empress?”
“Ha.”
There is no problem legally, but there is a slight moral problemly or ethically.
Or, it is something that ordinary people do not usually do, but nobles can do it for political reasons.
“If you say you have a taste for orgies, even the Fermatten Empire can accept you, so why are you incest?”
“Your Majesty is of the position that close relatives should not die.”
“It’s difficult, it’s difficult.”
It’s very difficult.
“Do they have any food left?”
“No. They arrived without water and food, so we provided them with food and drinks.”
“What if I were told to return to my original country?”
“If I go back, I will be executed, so why not go find a new land?”
“How many people will die in the process of finding a new land? If even after finding it, it is a wasteland or a land inhabited by monsters, how many people will die?”
This is the problem.
If we don’t take care, it’s obvious that thousands of people will die.
“If only Meradin, or even Serazade, would take the oath ‘I will not be intimate with you!’… Laura. What do you think?”
“As long as it wasn’t an incestuous relative, I would accept anything as long as it was pure love.”
Laura, who had been silent, carefully opened her mouth.
“Bae, give in 100 times… Weren’t we related by blood? If we say they were close relatives, I can at least understand.”
“Specifically, where does the Maginot Line end?”
“Hmm… “
Laura looked at Astarote for a moment.
“I will be out for a while.”
“No, we should sit separately…”
“Okay then.”
Astarote bowed and walked away.
“I will also set up a barrier, so you two can talk in peace.”
They even placed a barrier to prevent sound from escaping as they left.
“…Even if there is too much consideration.”
“It’s not easy to say this part. Huh…”
Laura scratched her head for a moment.
“…First of all, the biggest problem with close relatives is heredity, right? Your Majesty, well, that’s what you’re worried about too.”
“Yes.”
Gene.
It is definitely not a word from medieval fantasy.
“I don’t know if the future generations born between humans and demi-humans may have some genetic defects, and I don’t want to cause such problems for no reason.”
“What about you?”
“If you say it’s okay with me…”
“That goes for me as well.” I will completely follow your opinion on this, so you can be honest.”
“…Blood relatives are definitely not allowed.”
Laura made a big X with both hands and shook his head resolutely.
“I think that mother-daughter incest, brother-sister incest, and especially father-daughter incest are unacceptable.”
“…”
“Ho, were you planning on having father-daughter incest?”
“You’re crazy.”
I grabbed Laura’s head and shook her from side to side.
“How can you say that to your daughter?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Well, what?”
“…She’s my daughter, not anyone else’s, she’s our daughter, and she’ll grow up to be really pretty!”
“If I were the kind of person who would stick a dick in every pretty thing, when Queen Messalina was alive, she would have called me here and had sex with me.”
I set a clear Maginot line for Laura, who had a huge misunderstanding.
“Just as you wouldn’t have sex with your own brother, I have no intention of doing so with my children.”
“I definitely understand my brother’s will.”
“Then let’s make it clear that incestuous relatives are never allowed…”
Now that the direction has been decided, it is time to lay down the major premise and find a solution.
“I don’t care about Meradin. But Serazade is a talent that should never be missed.”
“As you will find out when you investigate, it is highly likely that she is the heir to the tribe.”
“When they later advance to the southern continent, they will be the ones with the most authentic blood?”
“That’s right. Now there are two siblings, and in fact, there are two of those people… They followed Meradin because they thought he was the rightful tribal leader and king.”
After analyzing several situations, including Serazade’s background, the more I talk about it, the weaker my heart becomes.
“Damn, why did I have such feelings towards my older brother? Is there a way to just change the genes?”
“…There is, but should I accept it?”
Laura bit her own thumb and looked at me carefully.
“What is it? Do you have any ideas?”
“Yes. It’s what Fermaten does best. Although it hasn’t been proven genetically yet…”
“No, but?”
“…If you set a condition that no children will be born, there is one way.”
Even though they are close relatives, they are still pure love.
Or to save the 7,000 people who would suffer if they were abandoned.
“Let’s kill Serazade.”
We decided to make a bold decision.
* * *
In a moment.
[Evelyn. What are these two doing now?]
“Each of us is in a separate room, awaiting His Majesty’s final decision.”
I connected my consciousness to the south through union with Laura again and checked the condition of the two people.
[Did they try to use the people to start an uprising or suddenly run away?]
“There has been talk of such a thing, but for now, it seems like everyone is trying to wait.”
[Why?]
“That’s right, I believe in the great name of the prosperous Rouge Fermatten.”
Evelyn smiles warmly and pats the shoulder of my armor.
“Your Majesty is a kinder person than anyone else, and the reason they came here is because they all trust in you.”
[If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place.]
“Yes. Then, are you a close relative… ?”
[Absolutely impossible.]
Evelyn nods her head as if it were obvious.
This is the opinion of me and Laura, but it is also the average perception of our continent.
[Call Serazade. Serazademan.]
“I understand.”
Evelyn used magic to give instructions to the wizards, and soon the southern wizards returned to us, bringing Serazade with them.
“…”
Serazade glared at me like a prisoner taken after being defeated in a war.
And those eyes were extremely hostile, as if they were looking at an enemy of the Buddha.
‘Should I really kill him?’
Even if Serazade dies, there will be no major changes in the Fermaten Empire.
But.
[Your love cannot be acknowledged by us in Fermaten, but we cannot deny your lineage and trust.]
“…”
[So I made a decision. I will kill you.]
“…As expected.”
[For a moment. Don’t rush, listen to the end.]
I raised my armored hand and stopped Serazade.
[Our Labyrinth Empire respects diverse tastes. There are many things that are not allowed, but there are also some things that are ‘allowed’ depending on talent and ability.]
“What… ?”
[In fact, ‘homosexuality’ is permitted in Fermaten, albeit with some restrictions.]
“…!!”
Serazade’s eyes widen.
“Oh, crazy…! How can people of the same sex…?”
[Would you understand if I told you that the feelings you are thinking about now are the feelings we had when we heard the story of your incest?]
“Ah, ah…”
It was a short response, but I immediately understood Serazade’s sexual notions.
And when he used that to immediately launch a counterargument, despair began to appear in Serazade’s eyes.
[Don’t be frustrated. I said I would allow it, even if it is limited.]
“…!”
[In fact, in the case of one of the public servants of our Fermaten Empire, he still maintains his sexual preference, even though it is a sexual preference that I personally can never accept.]
“…”
[The reason it is not known is simple. This is considered ‘top secret’ even within the empire.]
It’s not a crime, but you shouldn’t do it because the emperor doesn’t like it.
[It doesn’t matter if you call me a homo. If it is for the well-being of the empire and the peace of its people, I am prepared to join hands with a demon god.]
However, if you make a contribution or prove your ability enough to be recognized by the emperor, it is not impossible.
[Excluding close relatives.]
“…Are you making fun of me?”
[If he had intended to make fun of him, he would have opened the portal immediately after catching him, let him into the system, and then eaten him right then and there. Rest assured. I am not interested in your body.]
“Ugh… !!”
We Fermaten are too strong to form a marriage alliance with the head of a tribe from another continent.
[I make a suggestion to you. Protect your innocence, win your love, and make choices for your people.]
“What is it?”
[Die. And be born again.]
In Permaton’s way.
[There is only one choice for you.]
Using the resources in the Infinite Labyrinth that we have accumulated so far, and the vision of sex engineering that we have created over the past 6 years based on those resources.
[Will you be reborn as an elf or a succubus?]
“…!!”
[If you throw away your younger sister’s body and be born as a completely new subhuman, incest will be resolved.]
Now.
[Reincarnated pure love.]
Here, there are no genetic defects caused by close relatives.
