Chapter 152 – Emperor’s Enthronement (1) *Kurimu Hot Spring Bath Illustration
Ascension of Emperor (1)
While Henry was dying miserably, Prinz and Juno worked hard to restore the declining empire.
And with Prinz’s staff and Juno’s women doing their best to help, the empire quickly returned to normal.
The territories in the northwest, which had not been able to harvest properly due to the Battle of Zenon Plain, began farming again with the rapid distribution of short-term fruiting seeds developed by Hiria, and the crops harvested in the south were distributed for relief, reducing the number of wandering people. I ordered it.
Princess Fiona, who made a secret pact with Yuno, returned to Leon, and as Leon’s army, which had been pressuring the East, withdrew, the Wind Rage Army’s soldiers returned to their hometowns, and the East also quickly regained stability.
The 8th and 9th Legions, which had been returning to Adriatic after fighting against Kentish rebels in the southwest, formally swore an oath of allegiance and set out to subdue Kent again. When Juno personally sent the cavalry led by Cordelia and the Tessidanicana soldiers, Kent’s forces were defeated. The rebels were subdued within two weeks.
Although there was a later story that Duke Windrage was about to become even more angry because he was unable to catch Kent, the leader of the rebellion, the empire was rapidly returning to the strong empire it had been during the reign of Karl III.
The day after Henry died and Juno reported that all the rebels in Kent had been crushed.
The cabinet meeting was wrapping up in front of the empty throne. However, due to the words spoken by the Count of Redburg, all the nobles attending the meeting felt that the day’s meeting would be even longer.
“Your Majesty the Crown Prince! You can no longer leave the absolute throne of the empire empty!! You must ascend to the throne as soon as possible!”
Haha, Minister. Don’t you know that I am not qualified to sit in that position? And don’t you know that, strictly speaking, I have been dethroned from being the Crown Prince? So…”
“The Balkan throne is based on the principle of eldest son succession unless there is another person designated as crown prince!! Don’t the Prime Minister think so?”
Marquis Mark, who served as chancellor during the reign of Charles III and was deprived of his official position when Dietrich was appointed as chancellor when Henry ascended to the throne, was currently serving as chancellor temporarily.
“That’s right, Your Majesty! You must ascend to the throne as soon as possible!! You must complete the grand coronation ceremony and restore stability to the subjects of this empire as soon as possible!!”
“B… But I…”
“Since Your Majesty has not ascended to the throne, aren’t there people who are like gods leading the old people? You must appoint new prime ministers and ministers as soon as possible!! The gods must be replaced as soon as possible so that new blood can be infused into the empire, and the Balkans will become more vital. We will get it back!”
Prinz could not hide his disapproval at the demands of the old gods.
‘Ugh~ I’m in trouble. They continue to create public opinion that Yuno should become emperor… But unlike the people of the empire who consider Yuno as their benefactor and the soldiers who are well aware of Yuno’s activities, it is difficult to persuade the nobles who have government positions at stake. Especially those principled people…’
In particular, Karl III’s favorite subjects, who wanted to pass on government positions to his sons, and the nobles who had been loyal to him continued to look at Prinz as if they were hoping that he would sit on the throne as soon as possible and listen to their demands, so Prinz I had a headache every night to the point where I couldn’t sleep properly.
As Prinz continued to argue with the nobles and expressed his disapproval, the door to the royal palace burst open.
“Brother! I’m back!”
When he heard Yuno’s voice, Prinz’s face brightened.
“Oh! Yuno. Did you finish your work well?”
“As I reported yesterday via communication, we were unable to capture Uncle Kent, but we freed all the lords of the southwestern region who were held captive and obtained their oaths of loyalty. We are in the process of providing relief by releasing military provisions for the 8th and 9th corps, so they will also need seed support quickly. It appears to be”
“Yes, good job!! As expected of you, Yuno, haha”
When Prinz changed the topic by praising Yuno in front of the nobles, the nobles, who could not continue to pressure Prinz, took a step back and praised Yuno along with Prinz.
“For now, I’ll leave today’s meeting to this point. I’m going to have a little talk with my younger brother, so you guys please leave.”
“Yes, I understand. Your Highness”
As the nobles left the palace with a look in their eyes that said they would not leave so easily tomorrow, Prinz sighed.
“Brother, what are you worried about? I heard that Heinrich, who held on so tenaciously, also died yesterday. Why are you sighing so loudly?”
“Ugh~ You need to sit on the throne quickly, but the nobles keep putting pressure on me… It’s a headache. It’s a headache… I can’t so easily abandon the nobles who have supported me all this time, and my father’s favorite people also show their loyalty. Trying to get compensation…”
Yuno burst into anger at Prinz’s deep sigh.
“No, what are you asking for in return for being loyal to the emperor and the empire? Those guys are just like that…”
“Whoa… Calm down. Still, it cannot be denied that those nobles are the backbone of this empire.”
“Anyway, do as you wish. You persuaded me to ascend to the throne, but I actually don’t mind if you ascend to the throne.”
“No. I’m tired now… When you ascend to the throne, I want to go to the Teshidanikana territory you ruled and live quietly with Yunas… I really miss the days of drinking warm coffee and enjoying the clean air there…”
Yuno also sighed as he watched his brother close his eyes and recall his memories.
“Ha… Cheer up, brother. It’s not like I can do anything if I step forward, right… If I take the wrong step, there might be a misunderstanding that a fight between brothers will break out again.”
“That’s right. Actually, that’s the biggest problem we face.”
Literally, if Juno came with the Adriatic citizens and army and said that he would take the throne as emperor, there was no one in the Balkans who could stop him, but if he did so, it was obvious that there would be a lot of backlash, and he would end up denying Juno’s enthronement, and Prinz was very cautious because it was a problem that another rebel force could rise up to raise.
“Phew~ First, would you like to go take a bath? I heard that Kurimu and Yunas have built a hot spring bath in the garden behind the main palace.”
“That’s a good suggestion. Let’s go and cool off.”
Prinz went to his room and brought Yunas, and Yuno took Kurimu and Miruku to the hot springs to praise them for their hard work in making the hot springs.
“Hey~ It’s well-made? Are we the only ones who can come in here?”
Hehe, of course. Master. We’ve set up a magic device so that only you and your madam can enter. Ah! If you tell us, Prinz, we’ll let you use it at any time!”
Haha, I will accept your wishes, Kurimu-sama. I plan to go to Teshitanikanana once Yuno ascends to the throne, so I can enjoy the hot springs there.”
“Oh, that place is nice too. We worked hard to create it, so please enjoy it. And if necessary, we will send out a few more elf spirits, so it would be nice to expand the hot springs and turn it into a hot spring tourist village.”
“That’s a perfect idea. I would really appreciate it if you could do that.”
“No! Kurimu! You’ll give me ideas like that even when I’m around!!”
“Hohoho, when I was with the master, this pleasant club made my mother and daughter feel so good that I was out of my mind… Hehe, if you weren’t here, our pussy maid elf mother and daughter would still provide you with pleasant pussy service ♥”
“I can’t serve your pussy right now, so please be satisfied with enjoying our mother and daughter’s breasts under her towel. Master ♥
“Anyway, the excuse is… Ah! You two haven’t had sex lately, so come to my room tonight, okay?”
“Yes, thank you, master♥”
Since Yuno now thought of Kurimu and Miruku as her only maids, she naturally treated them poorly, but Prinz could not treat them poorly after finding out their true identities.
“Hmm, Kurimu-sama. Miruku-sama, please don’t forget that I’m here too.”
‘Really… This guy is probably the only one who treats the former elf queen and princess as a maid so naturally. No matter how you look at it, he is born with the temperament of an emperor.’
Looking at Yuno being naturally bathed by Kurimu and Miruku in front of her, Prinz once again looked at his younger sister with proud eyes and enjoyed the warm hot springs.
“Hehe honey. What are you thinking so hard about?”
“Ah! Are you here? Come in here.”
Prinz welcomed Junas warmly and gave him space next to him.
Yunas greeted Yuno, Kurimu, and Miruku with her eyes and entered her hot spring, hiding her breasts and lower body with her towel.
Hehe, I’m a little embarrassed to show myself like this in front of you, Master.”
“It’s okay. Don’t worry. I’m not bad enough to covet your brother’s woman.”
“… It’s better to covet your sister-in-law… Isn’t it a bit wrong to commit incest with one’s own mother and one’s own sister?”
“Ah! Brother. Why are we talking about this story that ended long ago… You have unusual tastes, but only to me…”
Haha, you and me… I guess our family has a unique sexual orientation. Haha,”
The two talked about various things and shared deep stories between brothers, and Yunas, Kurimu, and Miruk listened to each other’s pets while they bathed and talked about various things together.
“Ha~ Anyway, I have to make you sit on the throne… My head really hurts…”
“Hmm? What do you mean, honey? Is that what you said about your headache lately?”
“Yes, Yunas. Are you giving me a headache because the nobles keep trying to sit on the throne for me?”
“Then you can just sit on the throne. Is that called worrying?”
“No, I have no intention of sitting on the throne? You said you were not fit for an empress, so you liked me giving up the throne to Yuno, right? Now…”
HeheI have an amazing idea. Whisper”
Junas offered an idea to her Prinz, and Prinz exclaimed in delight at her idea and hugged her, saying he felt like he had earned his wife.
Yuno also smiled at the good appearance of her older brother and his wife, and the evening deepened behind the imperial palace.
