Chapter 826 – 826. A Tyrant For You
“When the divine one stormed into the Second Empress’s residence, she used magic to fly away and escape. It was clearly the divine one’s mistake… Please punish me. I will accept any punishment.”
“Enough.”
I said.
It would be a lie to say I wasn’t angry. But it would be a waste to kill the Grand General right here and now. To steadily gain tyrant points, I need a few competent guys. And Luteon was a competent guy.
“N-no way! Mother…! My mother wouldn’t abandon me!”
Ophelia, crushed under my foot, squirmed. I pressed down harder. Her ample breasts seemed about to burst under my foot. They were so firm, it felt like stepping on a warm water balloon.
“That witch would do something like that.”
The Second Empress. Morgana wasn’t human; she was a witch.
Witches looked similar to humans, but they were born with a special organ called the ‘Magic Circuit.’ This Magic Circuit was the reason why witches could use magic from birth.
Ophelia, a half-blood of human and witch, was unlucky enough not to inherit this Magic Circuit. However, she seemed to have a talent for magic, but having been born a princess and relying solely on her mother, she couldn’t have properly learned magic.
‘In the original story, Morgana ran away as soon as the male lead became emperor. She took Ophelia with her then… Now, she’s even abandoned her own children and fled in a hurry.’
In the original story, Morgana appeared in the latter half and died.
And in this world, I will eventually get my hands on Morgana.
“But that’s that. I can’t stand being angry. Grand General, throw the Eighth Prince into the dungeon. And send a torturer to torture him. The Eighth Prince will be executed in a week.”
“…Yes, Your Majesty. I will obey the imperial order.”
Luteon answered with courtesy.
The Eighth Prince, Morgana’s son, turned pale and rushed forward, kneeling on the floor. His hair was light purple, like Ophelia’s.
“Your Majesty! Please spare me! Your Majesty! I swear my loyalty! I will do anything you ask! Please, please spare me!”
“Shut up. Drag him away.”
Soldiers grabbed the Eighth Prince’s arms and dragged him away. The atmosphere turned cold again.
I looked around at the royals. They didn’t dare open their mouths. Their thought was probably to survive first.
“Listen. From this moment, I strip you of all your positions and authority. You are merely beasts. Take off your clothes and crawl on all fours. You are not allowed to walk upright.”
“……!!”
A silent shock spread.
Even the seemingly calm Chief Advisor was startled and approached me.
“Y-Your Majesty! They are all royals like you! Especially behind them…!”
I raised my hand to silence the Chief Advisor.
“I know the Chief Advisor’s concerns. But there’s no problem.”
What the Chief Advisor was worried about was the families of the Empress and Empresses. Their families were all extraordinary. Princesses from other countries, direct descendants of the Witch Island, great nobles of the Elven Kingdom, and so on. There were political issues, not love, intertwined between the former emperor and them.
“Take them off.”
I said to the royals again. The royals hesitated, looking at each other.
I summoned Stormbreaker and killed the Fifth Prince. The massive spear pierced through the Fifth Prince’s chest.
“Take them off.”
I said again. The spear returned to my hand. As I prepared to throw it again, the royals were terrified and began to take off their clothes. The Empress and Empresses were no exception.
“I’ll say it again. You are merely beasts. You are not allowed to walk upright.”
They sat down with faces mixed with fear and humiliation.
The Chief Advisor raised his hand to his forehead, and the High Priest clasped his hands together and prayed to the gods. The Grand General simply remained silent.
I grabbed Ophelia’s hair and lifted her up. Her proud face was gone. She had a vacant expression. Her tear-stained face held no hope.
I put strength into my hand.
“Ugh…”
Ophelia let out a faint moan. Her ample breasts swayed enticingly.
‘I can’t hold back.’
Since the Second Empress, Morgana, had escaped, there was no need to delay any longer. I just lowered my pants zipper and pulled out my magnificent cock. A cock befitting the emperor’s dignity.
I grabbed Ophelia’s legs and forcefully spread them apart and lifted them up. Her upper body fell limply to the floor. My cock touched Ophelia’s pussy. A pink pussy clamped shut in a straight line. Her clitoris was protruding. A cute pussy that didn’t match her dirty nature.
“S-stop it!”
No matter what she said, I wouldn’t stop.
Her pussy wasn’t wet, but it didn’t matter.
I thrust my cock into her pussy.
“Aaaaaaaaaaah!”
Her maiden blood burst out. Her pussy was tight, and her grip was excellent. When it came to grip, it was quite a pleasing pussy.
I grabbed her waist and fell into sex. The gazes of others were focused on me, but I didn’t care. Soon, I ejaculated inside Ophelia’s pussy.
Ophelia slumped to the floor. I stepped on Ophelia’s head, who was sobbing and crying on the floor. I didn’t intend to kill her. She was a rare beauty, so I would use her as my cum receptacle.
[You have violated your half-sister.]
[You have gained 1,500 tyrant points!]
“Chief Advisor.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Kill all the cooks in the imperial palace.”
“…Pardon? I must have… misheard…”
The Chief Advisor looked dumbfounded. He hadn’t actually misheard; he just couldn’t understand my order.
“The food I often ate in the imperial palace was dark brown bread. Very hard bread. I had to melt it for 15 minutes to eat it. That bread was so hard that it could be a weapon to kill someone. That’s the level of skill of the imperial palace cooks. Kill all those parasites who make weapons out of grain.”
“…But Your Majesty, if all the cooks in the palace die, we won’t be able to serve dinner tonight. At least spare a few, or kill them later…”
“We can go hungry for a day. Kill them all. Or Chief Advisor, would you like to die in place of those parasites?”
“…I will kill all the cooks.”
The former emperor’s head, which had fallen under the throne, caught my eye.
“Chief Advisor. Put the former emperor’s head and the heads of the dead princes on display in the capital square. That way, the people will realize that I have become the new emperor.”
“The people may be horrified and develop animosity towards Your Majesty. Please be merciful… At least, it would be better to bury the former emperor’s body in a tomb.”
“Do as I say.”
“…Yes, Your Majesty. I will.”
I got up from the throne and walked towards the royals.
The Empress, Empresses, and princesses. I would violate them all today.
•••
Late at night.
I left the bedroom alone and went down to the basement. The knights guarding the palace tensed up when they saw me. I ignored the knights.
In the basement of the palace where the emperor resided, there was a storage room. A storage room that only the emperor could enter. It was rumored to be the emperor’s treasure vault, but the reality was a bit different.
I went down the basement stairs. It was quite deep. And the deeper I went, the more eerie the atmosphere became.
‘Stormbreaker.’
I summoned Stormbreaker. The spear separated and attached to my body, becoming armor.
At the very bottom of the basement, there was a large steel door. I took out the ornate key studded with jewels that I had prepared in advance and inserted it into the keyhole. The jewel at the end of the key shone, and the door opened.
A vast space with no light. At its center, a jet-black longsword was stuck into the ground.
Arondight.
The sword used by the original protagonist. Originally the first sword, it did not recognize the later emperors and was stuck in the basement.
I stepped into the space.
Grrrrrrrrr.
From the invisible darkness, a large blue-gray wolf appeared. It acted as if it were guarding Arondight, growling at me. The wolf’s eyes were red like shining jewels.
The divine beast residing in Arondight, Raydos.
To obtain Arondight, one had to gain the recognition of this divine beast.
“I have obtained the power of the Holy Grail. Divine beast of Arondight, submit to me.”
Grrrrrrrrrrr.
The divine beast bared its sharp teeth. My eyes became even colder.
“It seems you want to die.”
I summoned a clone sword and held it in my hand. The divine beast kicked off the ground and leaped like lightning. I swung the aura blade and the sword imbued with lightning. The divine beast’s body was wounded, but not deeply. The divine beast rammed into my abdomen. I flew backward and crashed into the wall.
“Cough…”
I coughed and got up. I wasn’t injured. My stomach was just a little sore. That soreness soon disappeared.
“You’re stronger than I thought. You’re better than most sword masters.”
The divine beast opened its mouth. Mana gathered in the divine beast’s mouth, forming a sphere of light. It seemed like it was going to shoot a laser.
I walked towards the divine beast. There was no need to rush.
The divine beast shot out a laser. At that timing, I swung my sword. The aura blade wrapped in lightning cut through the laser and severed the divine beast’s neck.
Before the divine beast’s neck hit the floor, it returned to its original position as if time had rewound.
The divine beast’s true form was not a wolf but a sword, so this was possible. The divine beast leaped at me. Since the laser didn’t work, it seemed like it was going to bite me.
Thud.
I grabbed the divine beast’s mouth with one hand.
“I’ll play with you until you submit.”
I stabbed the sword in my other hand into the divine beast’s forehead.
I killed the divine beast a total of 23 times and was able to obtain Arondight.
•••
In the largest and most historic square in the Bellacarus Islands, Solbiras Grand Square, named after the first empress, countless people gathered.
Not only nobles, knights, and soldiers, but also commoners gathered.
Among them, I sat on a luxurious chair in the highest position, looking down at the square.
The Solbiras Grand Square was used for important events in the imperial family, and this grand square was chosen for today’s execution.
“Begin.”
I gave the order listlessly. The nobles relayed my words, and the knights and soldiers moved busily. They brought straw and branches to the center of the grand square, piled them up, and poured oil on them.
Soon, a soldier dragged a prisoner by the hand. He was a man with signs of beatings all over his body, half of his head torn off, his right arm cut off, and whip marks on his back that had not healed. He was the Second Empress, Morgana’s son, and the Eighth Prince.
The Chief Justice appeared. He spoke in a booming voice to everyone watching.
“Criminal, Benok Bellacarus, listen! You are the son of the witch Morgana, who deceived and insulted the current Emperor! Your sin is so deep that even the god of hell would lament it, so I sentence you to be burned at the stake. May the sacred fire purify all the sins of your body and soul!”
The commoners murmured. I could hear voices saying, ‘What nonsense is that?’ The nobles were silent with uneasy eyes, and the Chief Justice looked at me.
I curled up the corners of my mouth and said.
“Execute it.”
“Execute the death penalty!!”
Soldiers tied Benok to a tree. Benok did not resist. Exhausted from torture, he was already resigned. Soon, the soldiers set fire to the tree. Flames shot up with acrid black smoke.
Through the smoke and flames, Benok’s screams could be heard. It was a terrible sound. Nobles, soldiers, and commoners alike fell silent.
I rested my chin on one hand and watched the burning. The terrible screams stopped at some point.
It was then.
Dark clouds gathered in the clear blue sky. And the wind blew. It was a wind so strong that the commoners had to lie flat on the ground in fear.
A figure in black appeared in the sky.
“You’ve come.”
I jumped up from my seat. Stormbreaker attached to my body, becoming armor. I held Arondight in my right hand.
However, my face crumpled like a piece of paper when I identified the opponent.
It wasn’t the Second Empress, Morgana. It was an old woman with a hooked nose and a wrinkled face.
“Your Majesty! Be careful! It’s the Great Witch Mertalian of Witch Island!”
“……Indeed. Morgana, that bitch, didn’t come herself and sent her mother. She’s a cunning bitch indeed.”
I looked up at the Great Witch. The Great Witch’s face was distorted with anger. It seemed she hadn’t deliberately come late until Benok was burned to death. Perhaps this was also Morgana’s doing.
“Arrogant emperor, listen! Pay the price for violating my granddaughter and burning my grandson to death! You will not be able to see the future, you will suffer from epilepsy, your skin will melt and regenerate repeatedly, and you will only wait for death in pain! Your death will come in three years, and I will take your soul and tear it into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the world to announce the witch’s revenge to the world!”
“Old hag. You have a great voice.”
“Arrogant fool!”
The Great Witch raised her withered finger and pointed at me. A black curse that originated from the tip of her finger fell towards me.
