Chapter 102 – 11. Gifts.
* * *
“Your Majesty! This is impossible! It’s not enough that you acknowledged a mere barbarian, so you sold off half of the Throdia Peninsula!”
Seorae stared at them with an indifferent expression.
About 3 hours after the negotiations, the nobles gathered in Daejeon somehow, and as soon as Seorae came out, they fell to the floor.
All of them exclaim, ‘No.’
It was more persuasive because it wasn’t something I said blindly, and that’s why I was more annoyed.
Fortunately, he had thought about the reaction of the nobles in advance, so he had prepared for that.
“Is that sound again?”
After she reacted indifferently, one of the nobles came out and eloped.
“Your Majesty! This has never happened in the history of thousands of years! Allowing the barbarians and their envoys is something we should be aware of, much less allowing the name of the country! Countless vassals will also harbor disquieting hearts. Please reconsider!”
“Please reconsider!”
Well over a hundred nobles slammed their foreheads on the ground.
Once,
Twice,
And three times.
The thud thump rang loudly in the battlefield.
“Tell me to say two words with one mouth? It’s already past.”
“Your majesty!”
The nobles shouted as if they were letting out all the breath from their lungs.
“This is to reduce the prestige of our Mei Empire! Although Your Majesty’s mouth may be dirty for a while, if it is in the interest of the nation, wouldn’t it be a good thing for Your Majesty in the end! (殉國先烈) Think of the souls!”
“Think!”
“Ah, well, it’s already been decided. My mouth must have trust, and you all know the meaning of it, right? Who would believe and follow a liar emperor?”
Then another noble came out this time.
“Your Majesty! How can you think that way? By nature, they are barbarians. Even if you say thank you, it would not be enough. I wore Your Majesty’s yellow silver even for a moment, so even if I withdraw it, it will not be a flaw. As a result, Isn’t His Majesty showing good intentions?”
“What?Haha.”
Seorae laughed as if it was absurd, but the nobles agreed.
Yes.
Originally, Basa was a country of barbarians.
Hwang-eun is devastated just by acknowledging them for a moment and letting them suck on the sweet candy called hope.
“That’s right, Your Majesty! There’s no fault at all!”
Seorae looked at the nobles and suddenly burst into laughter.
It was a pretty hearty laugh.
After laughing for about ten seconds, she looked at the aristocrats with bewildered expressions and straightened up.
“It’s crazy and I’m sleepy.”
“Pe, Your Majesty…!”
All the nobles were surprised by the words and actions that could not be seen as an emperor.
But regardless of that, Seorae continued.
“Your head isn’t even round. Do you really think so? If that’s the case, you guys don’t have an answer.”
The aristocrats murmured.
Although he was originally a person with no dignity in his words, he did not use vulgar terms in public.
“Well, it’s not that I don’t understand what you guys are saying at all. I also think giving away all of the lower peninsula is too much.”
“If not!”
“But like I said, it’s already happened and it’s an issue that has even been stamped on. I can’t bite you now. That’s the attitude of a great country. So, if you say nonsense one more time, I’ll cut your throat.”
Gulp.
Seorae had a smile on his face, but the nobles felt that their blood was drying up.
It was forgotten because he had been idle for a while (20 years), but there is a precedent in which Seorae purged as many as 200,000 nobles and government officials in the first year of his accession.
Among them, there was a ducal family that had the highest authority at the time, but it was purged in one day, the lofty castle was burned, and thousands of family members were executed or sold as slaves.
There is no law that it won’t be reproduced again.
The chairman was quiet.
There were over a hundred people, but all I could hear was breathing and spitting.
“Even so, you have to reward and punish?
She stabbed the most aggressive aristocrat.
The nobleman trembled and replied.
“Yes, yes.”
“The guy in charge of the negotiations should be held accountable, right?”
“Of course. Call me and punish me severely!”
“Punish me!”
The nobles recite in unison.
‘Stupid bitches.’
Seorae clicked her tongue and shouted loudly.
“Bring the sinner!”
The great door opened and a woman entered, seized by two guards.
She had her head bowed down, but just by looking at her aura and silhouette of her, I could tell that she was a great beauty.
The nobles who were lying down stood up and made a path to the left and right.
“…”
A woman kneeling in front of Emperor Seorae and over a hundred nobles.
She raised her head.
“!!”
“Hwa-Hwa-Hwa, Her Highness her…?!”
The nobles were greatly surprised, and especially the nobles who said that those in charge should be punished trembled.
“As you can see, the first princess, Moae Yueun, was in charge of this negotiation. However, she was incompetent and made things to this point.”
“…”
“How do you think we should punish this person?”
“Yeah?”
“You attacked the most aggressively. It’s impossible. Since he did all of that, how should I punish him? Should I kill him as well?”
“Heeep.”
Do you have to kill
Moae hiccuped for a moment.
She might have fainted if she hadn’t been told beforehand.
“It’s not like that…”
“Why? I did something impossible, so shouldn’t it be right?”
“Oh, no.”
“What do you think? Shouldn’t I kill you?”
“No, Your Majesty! We made a mistake!”
The nobles bowed in unison.
“Why? I’m asking because I’m curious. Tell me. What should I do?”
“Kill us, Your Majesty!”
“Kill me!”
How could he tell her to kill the princess?
If Seorae had no intention of doing so, but if she said such a thing and got involved in the wrong way, she might be charged with the crime of annihilating the royal family or rebellion, and the old family might be destroyed.
“I don’t know why these things are like this.”
Seorae drew her sword.
She passed the surprised mother-ae with a smile and placed the sword in her nobleman’s hand.
“Come on.”
“Your Majesty…”
Shaking.
The forcibly gripped sword swayed wildly.
She looked around with eyes begging for help, but the nobles only turned their heads at breakneck speed.
She soon burst into tears and banged her forehead on the floor.
She was on a different level than she had been before, and she immediately burst into blood.
“I’d rather kill God!!”
“…Okay?”
The cold voice of Seorae.
Soon, with a creaking sound, the nobleman who had banged his forehead collapsed.
“Aww…!”
“Heeek…!”
Blood flowed along the blade and dripped down.
Seorae was holding it.
The nobles were shocked.
And silence.
In the sacred battle, the emperor had blood on his hands.
“If a woman draws a sword, she should cut a radish.”
Seorae clicked her tongue a few times and went up to the Heaven’s Clothing (天椅).
Her silence continued until she sat down.
“You think killing all of you is gross?”
“That’s right, Your Majesty.”
The nobles trembled.
“Okay?”
Seorae threw the sword at random.
The sword flew and stuck in front of the nobles.
Burr.
The nobles almost fainted when they saw the trembling blade right in front of their eyes.
“Then I’ll punish you arbitrarily. No objection, right?”
What safety would you object to?
“It’s my beloved daughter, but I don’t like the death penalty either. Still, handing over half of Throdia was harsh. You can’t go over without punishment, right? There’s no order. So, you’re going to be Prince Aran’s wife.”
“!!!”
It has already been roasted and roasted, but it is a measure to calm the opposition of the nobles.
As expected, perhaps because of what happened just before, the aristocrats didn’t object much.
“Of course, the succession right to the throne is also forfeited. You, as the princess of the Mei Empire, go into Prince Aran’s wife and help him.”
The nobles shouted ‘Your Majesty!!’ Reaching the roof of their mouths, but they struggled to press it in.
He is a true emperor who owns nobility. He doesn’t know what he’s going to do either.
So even if you oppose it, it’s best to keep quiet today.
When there was no objection from the aristocrats, Seorae raised her mouth in satisfaction.
“Yeah. It’s nice to keep your mouth shut. I thought I was dying of noise.”
In the end, Moae decided to enter Aran with many gifts and goods. Even in the House of Lords she was unanimous.

“Pubam bum pbam bum~ Pbam bum pbam bum~”
Round and round.
“Ta~ la la~ la la la la la~ la la~ la la~.”
A woman spun gracefully.
It was a smooth and graceful movement, like a swan walking and floating on water.
“This is the Persian dance!”
It was Hancock in a pure white dress.
“…You really do everything.”
“Whoops. Isn’t that great?”
“…Not really a compliment.”
Aran was quite distracted, but he didn’t dare to speak.
It was because Hancock was really upset on that day, so I took some effort to calm him down.
“Anyway, you’re quite excited. You’ve had a lot of banquets, right?”
There is no fundamental difference.
After all, any banquet is all about meeting promising nobles and young ladies and building friendships and networking, and a banquet hosted by the emperor of the Mei Empire is no different.
Still, Hancock was very excited.
She replied, still making her graceful movements.
“Your Highness’ joy is my joy.”
“Yes?”
“Shruluk~!”
“…”
Hancock flew high and let out five spinning spirits.
Beep!
“Huh?!!!!”
Then she stumbled on her foot and broke it.
Gnawing pain.
A single teardrop stumbled out.
“…It’s okay?”
It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s still 6th tier.”
He quickly recovers and turns his feet around.
The question of Tier 6 stumbling on his foot her reached his throat his, but did not come out of his mouth.
“The equation is still the same.”
“Hehe. This is my charm.”
“So, what do you mean? My joy is the count’s joy… What does that have to do with this dance?”
She put her arms around her waist.
“Yes, because Your Highness’s happy insult time has come!”
And, of course, she had a sweet night.
