Chapter 945 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (3)
“Abama! Are you sure you’re declaring war?”
“The rumors are so fast. I didn’t know that the news had already reached the prince’s ears.”
“You said you would become friendly there?”
“Yes. I decided to.”
“If it’s true, I want to go with Soja too!”
I was thinking of calling the prince anyway.
However, the beginning of the war was a bit chaotic and dangerous, so I planned to call the crown prince when the war was almost over.
Isn’t war simply over in a day or two?
Moreover, the Geos Empire, no matter how weak it is, will not be an easy opponent.
‘Because the population is no joke.’
Therefore, the war will always be a long-term war.
It was also a state in which preparations were already made for a long-term war.
Therefore, the education of the crown prince has nothing to do with calling him later.
By that time, the probability of a variable occurring will be greatly reduced.
“It will be difficult for a young prince to go to war. Everyone will be against it.”
“Soja learned swordsmanship since childhood. Warfare too!”
He learned in detail how to wage war.
“Isn’t the reason why you let me take such lessons because you wanted to see me active in the war against the Geos Empire?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“If so, you’ll have to take me too. I’ve learned hard. There must be something I can do!”
“Prince, this war cannot simply end in one or two years.”
“Yes? That long?”
“Yes. I fully understand wanting to go to the battlefield, but there is no need to think so impatiently. Even if the crown prince is ready to experience the battlefield, it means that it is still too early.”
I’m not sure if the prince understands what I’m saying.
But he couldn’t just send them to the battlefield just because he used a group.
The emperor’s own country also has a lot to prepare, but the prince is also sent out with him?
There was no way the Geos Empire would sit still over this.
“It’s no different than taking the enemy’s weakness and offering it. If you’ve learned the art of war, you’ll know what to do, right?”
“…Well, if one day you’re ready, can you take Soja with you?”
“Of course. At that time, even if you don’t want to follow me, I will forcefully drag you away, so you have to prepare your mind. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Obama.”
I asked him to come closer to the prince’s dignified answer, and I touched his round head for a long time.
I liked the courage of not being scared and asking to go to the battlefield with you first.
It was a world where affection was not allowed, but my baby was precious and precious regardless of the reason.
In fact, the same was true of the children born to the three thousand concubines.
All of them were growing up comfortably without getting hungry because they were meticulously cared for, even though they couldn’t be loved like the crown prince.
As a father, it means that even if you can’t give ‘Jeong’, you are taking on basic responsibilities.
Since I openly admired the Crown Prince, and there was no particular favorite among her concubines, she had no concubines greedy for useless power.
‘It couldn’t have happened at all, but at this level, it’s as if there’s no such thing as a headache because of women from the inside.’
As expected, the family should be good to the wife of the royal family.
It is his own know-how acquired from leading a harem family for a long time.
Of course, just because you’re doing it right…
“Where is the person who says that he will know it again just because his child said he wants to go to the battlefield? Aren’t His Majesty worried about what he will do if the crown prince goes wrong?”
It wasn’t that I didn’t even hear the nagging.
“If another prince had said that, he would have scolded me.”
“Why not the prince?”
“Shouldn’t the crown prince succeed Jim as emperor? It would be nice if the war ended while Jim was alive, but if not, the crown prince must continue the war.”
“Are you planning on going to war that long?”
“Of course. Because simply defeating the Geos Empire is not the goal.”
The Empire will swallow Geos.
“I will put all of their rich land into my hands.”
“!!!”
“The Geos Empire will disappear in history, and instead, only our Empire will remain. This war is such a war. When you take the crown prince to the battlefield, it will be when the war is nearing its end.”
I didn’t want to make the crown prince into a person who doesn’t know what war is and goes on table discussions.
Unless you experience it yourself, you won’t get a clear sense of what war means.
‘They say that when you have more money, it’s just a numbers game. It’s easy to feel the people that way even in the position of emperor.’
Even I, who plays the emperor, sometimes felt that risk.
This is because the images of the suffering people are not shown in the documents.
It is difficult to sympathize with the pain that cannot be seen in front of the eyes.
And you will make the mistake of passing the work that comes naturally to you indifferently.
“Does the emperor need to be that perfect?”
“If you’re Jim’s son, this should be enough. Didn’t he give birth well enough to do that?”
The empress was well aware that the crown prince’s talent was unusual from an early age.
Of course, the children born to her concubines also look like me, so they are all unusually talented.
The empress believed that the crown prince was smarter and better than the clever princes who were a threat.
“…That’s right. Our Crown Prince would be able to do that. Because he’s going to be a sage.”
“Take a look. Don’t you think the empress can do it too?”
“I’m still young, but the battlefield…”
“The Crown Prince will not get hurt on the battlefield. Jim will do anything to stop it. Please trust me, Empress.”
“…I believe it. Your Majesty.”
Even as the empress sighed in her lingering worries, she reluctantly allowed the prince to be taken.
“I’m sorry.”
“You don’t need to apologize. Instead, you must protect the crown prince.”
“Sure. I will definitely do that.”
She had quite a few things she was sorry for until now, but when she thought about her future, there were only things she was sorry for.
When I said that I would protect the crown prince no matter what, it meant that I would use my life to protect the crown prince.
This conversation will be used as a build-up for exiting this world.
‘Still, my departure won’t be all sad for this woman. Because she married me for power. She might rather like it.’
When I die, this woman will rise to the center of power instead of me.
She is a woman who chose to become empress, even though she had other options.
‘So she chose this woman there too. Because she didn’t want to be needlessly entangled with her emotions and see me suffer emotionally after I went back.’
How fortunate is it to have a relationship that started with calculations because I knew there was an end from the beginning?
If it had not been for this arrangement, I would have suffered for a long time because of the remorse of conscience.
‘What’s left now is the spectacular finale.’
Declaration and opening of war.
And only the big event of leaving was left.

“Lung, Your Majesty!!! It’s a big problem!!!!!!”
“What’s going on again… There’s nothing to fuss about. Anyway, there must be other aristocrats protesting outside. Did they say they’re not even going to attend today?”
Whoa~
Clouds of smoke flowed from the smoking pipe in the emperor’s mouth.
It was a fact spreading among the nobles that there was no day when the smoke from the Emperor’s residence would not dry.
However, no one thinks of correcting the emperor’s erring behavior.
Rather, he would become a disabled person and hope that he would die.
“It’s all noisy. I don’t want to bother with anything, so don’t report it and leave.”
The emperor was sprawled on the floor.
The courtier, who had been stomping his feet without being able to come inside from the outside, said.
“Your Majesty…! We have urgent news that you must hear!! The country is in trouble!”
“So daa~ no blood~ whether or not something big happens to the country!! What does that have to do with Jim~ haha! It has nothing to do with it. It doesn’t matter at all. Ah~”
If something really big happened, the nobles would take care of it.
All you have to do is just sit there and sit still.
Perhaps someone came hoping for that, but unfortunately Emperor Geos didn’t want to move at all.
“Uhhhhh…”
The strength of the body is released and the mind is cut off moment by moment.
When he comes back to his senses, he puts the pipe he was holding in his hand back to his mouth.
The memory of someone coming and calling him anxiously had long since disappeared.
Thump thump thump!
However, the emperor’s lazy afternoon, which had been peaceful without thinking about anything, was soon shattered by uninvited guests.
“Your Majesty!! Come out, Your Majesty!!”
“Ugh…”
They rushed in and tried to scream what they were doing.
However, his body did not move at will to point out the rude nobles’ attitude.
And when the emperor came to his senses again, he was not spread out on the floor, but was quietly lying on the bed.
“Ummm…”
My body was a little stiff, but I didn’t feel any major pain or lack of energy.
‘It must have been cured.’
I was told to do it as late as possible…
The emperor tsk! And clicked his tongue.
In addition to serious addiction, drug use can lead to adverse side effects on the body.
However, by pouring the holy power of the priests, the side effects and addiction could be completely erased.
However, few people had enough wealth and power to use the holy power of the priests to get rid of the side effects of drugs.
And one of those few people was the emperor.
Even if you take drugs, there are no side effects on your body!
It was a pity that others could not enjoy it, but the emperor disapproved of the treatment.
Of course, I have no intention of dying suddenly while taking drugs.
However, the fact that he would return to a clear mind after being cured made the emperor displeased.
So he was the emperor who would call in a healer to heal his body after holding out for as long as he could.
“Who! Who dares order treatment without Jim’s permission?”
The emperor summoned courtiers to try to find out who had recklessly ordered the treatment.
But the courtier said with black dead eyes.
“Your Majesty…Now is not the time for that.”
“What? What did you just say? Isn’t it time like this? You, a courtier in the middle of the day, are you ignoring me now!!”
“War is coming!!!! Your Majesty!!!!”
Uh…?
“The Empire has declared war on our country. Your Majesty!! You must prepare for war as soon as possible!”
