The Princess to Be Castrated After 100 Days 783

Chapter 783 – 90 Days – The Princess Asks a Favor and Heads to the Land Where the Old Gods Sleep.

“Dear Empress Dowager? There are limits to lies, right? I really…”

Jad Ober let out a long sigh with a truly dumbfounded expression and neatly emptied the tea in his hand.

In front of her, sitting in the luxurious drawing room, were the Empress and Hedone, who looked more serious than ever, and her empty seats were filled by Léonie Aubert and Leo Aubert.

Although her seat was sitting very awkwardly, no one noticed her.

“It’s true that you have nothing! There are degrees of humility!”

“I really…”

“What Venus Holympia needs is a woman like you. Not a fiefdom with a magnificent mansion overflowing with gold and silver treasures.”

In the end, it was a compliment, so Jad Ober closed her mouth with a satisfied expression.

“I think it would be perfect if we act according to the plan of the Crown Princess and the Princess. Dad, what do you think? Since there is a good cause, it would be good to invite the nobles who participated in Eternity and continue the exchange.”

“It is as the princess said. If we use our family’s fame, we will be able to more easily attract nobles who joined Eternity, and I think we will be able to gather enough people we need while visiting the crater north of Oz Village.”

The princess was able to relax a little after hearing the two’s story.

“I thought it would be too much of a burden on the Duke of Auvers, but I am really glad that you accepted my foolish request.”

“Your Highness. I am a nobleman and knight of the Empire where the sun never sets. I am someone who has the wisdom to judge what is right and what is wrong.”

“But granting my request means rebelling against Emperor Jupiter.”

It was an obvious story about what would happen if one rebelled against someone with god-like power and the result ended in failure. Because she was the princess who knew this better than anyone else, she gave those who participated in Eternity a choice.

They were going to die anyway. The princess was even able to solve their own problems thanks to her knowledge and wisdom. Since the princess even gave her mercy, they had a choice.

Are you joining the princess or keeping her quiet?

No one bothered to run to the emperor and tell him that the princess was plotting her treason. This is because they had the option to board the princess’s ship at any time.

But what about the Aubert family? What reason is there for them to serve the princess like this?

“Before the war with the Southerners began, the princess asked me a favor.”

“Sadly, I can’t remember that time now.”

“I saw it then.”

Leo Ober closes his eyes and takes a long breath.

“How great it would be to be a part of the world created by such a person. I sincerely hoped that if I could help pave the way for him to walk, I would like to do so.”

“Sir Leo Aubert…”

“Now that opportunity has come to me. Didn’t Your Highness tell you?”

Leo Ober slowly opens his eyes and clenches his fists.

“Emperor Jupiter is a man who tried to kill his own child. He is a heinous man who tried to raise his granddaughter as a sire.”

Hedone told the story of what the princess had experienced in a very calm voice. Although the princess herself was extremely surprised, everyone here who had never even heard of the rumor was truly surprised.

“How can I entrust an empire on which the sun never sets to a man who treats his own children like spare parts? How would a being who does not even cherish children born of his own blood take care of the tens of thousands of people of the empire?”

“Dad is right, princess. An empire where the sun never sets may seem very plausible on the outside, but it is not in reality, right? Nobles who are more greedy than me can go anywhere, and as long as they pay the right taxes, the palace will not interfere, so they can control the people of the empire to the limit. Squeezing is a common thing.”

At the two’s words, the princess nodded her head with a bitter expression.

“Thank you. It’s truly an honor to be able to receive your help.”

“What are you talking about, Her Highness?”

Leo Aubert held the hand of the slightly trembling princess. Her treason against the emperor was not something that could be accomplished with only light courage and spirit.

If you fail, tens of thousands of people who followed you will die. If I wasn’t nervous, it was even weirder.

“While the Old God is visiting the land where he sleeps, the Aubert family will do its best to recruit nobles who will become the princess’s strength.”

“On your way back from Crater, please take Leonie with you. She will take care of all the troublesome things. My father and I will do our best to help the princess with our talents and honor.”

Jad Aubert’s hand held the princess’s hand.

“If it’s your sister and dad’s names, nobles living far away will be interested and come. And there are a few nobles staying in the guest room, so if we get information from there, we’ll be able to very secretly gather the nobles who participated in Eternity.”〈 Br〉

Leonie spoke calmly and looked at Sitri, who was sitting awkwardly.

“Or, Sister Sitri told us a secret phrase that only those involved in Eternity could read.”

“Betrayal, deception, and deceit… It is the princess who gave me, a demon, a chance! I will do my best.”

As Sitri and Leonie’s hands joined, the princess smiled slightly.

Jupiter Holympia placed a vicious curse in an attempt to somehow cut off her princess’s arms and legs, but she ultimately could not.

It was impossible to ruin the bright personality that the princess had had since she was born and the new relationship that was drawn to it.

“I’m sure the princess will do well. The princess I know is someone who always overcomes all her trials to the point of absurdity.”

Unlike other people, Hedone gently grabbed her waist and held her close.

Feeling the warmth provided by everyone in this room, the princess was able to close her eyes with a very comfortable mind.

The flag has already been raised. Since she had no intention of running away from the beginning, there was only one thing she had to do from now on.

“Everyone, please do your best in what I ask you to do. I will also do my best in what I can do.”

* * * * *

The determined princess, Hedone, and Leonie were moving tirelessly northward along the river flowing through Eze Village.

“But wouldn’t it be nice if Sitri came along too? I don’t know why the three of us are going, and why can’t we take a carriage? Furthermore, I don’t mind if we just go on horseback like this.”

The princess, who was riding the same horse, smiled at the words of Leonie, who was holding the reins of a healthy brown horse.

“Wildfire is at its weakest when it is just starting to bloom.”

“I don’t know what it means.”

“What the princess is saying is that now, when the flame of rebellion has just bloomed, is the easiest to extinguish. That means it is easy to be suppressed.”

Leonie nods her head at a word from Hedone, who is standing behind the princess and hugging her waist.

“I understand that, but I don’t know why three people are going!”

“Sister Sitri is a demon.”

“Uh… Did you mean to punish me?”

“No, a demon can transform into the other person with just a drop of blood.”

At the mention of demons, Leonie swallows hard and scratches the back of her head with a very awkward expression.

“Sitri is a demon, but haha, the princess is a bit scary. Punishment like that…”

From Leonie’s perspective, the demons were a very fearsome enemy. He saw that ordering Sitri to use transformation magic was nothing more than punishment.

“The princess didn’t mean to ask for that.”

“Boo, please? No, but using the power of a demon like that… What do you mean, I have a sister and a father too.”

“Is Leonie’s prosthetic hand bad?”

At Hedone’s words, Leonie looked at his prosthetic hand, which was fully charged with magical power, for a moment and then laughed.

“No, there are no good or bad prosthetics! But if I had to say it, it’s good now. I can generate strength that I couldn’t in the past.”

“That’s what the special power of demons is to the princess. There is no such thing as good or bad. If a rumor spreads that I am not at the party at the Ober family’s party, won’t it spread throughout the empire that there is someone up to something?”

“Oh! What, so you gave blood to Sitri, so she could pretend to be Hedone?”

“Yes, there is no such thing as good or bad in power. Just because you use transformation magic for good things doesn’t mean it’s bad.”

The princess didn’t even need to open her mouth to hear Hedone’s clear words. Leonie looked at the two with a truly curious expression and gently grabbed the reins of the horse.

“Well, Sitri only knew that the old god was sleeping here in a huge crater, so there was no need to come all the way here.”

“And I think the fact that Sister Sitri is a demon will be a great help in changing the minds of the nobles who joined Eternity.”

“Even if it were me, I would say that. The princess said that with the technology of the ancient demons? Magic? That could be used to help those who fell for Eternity? Even if there were demons who became allies… That would be unbearable. I like it, so I am on the demons’ side. There won’t be any nobles attached.”

Leonie spoke with a smile and pointed forward with her finger as the steep hill gradually came to an end and a wide open view came into view.

“This is the land where the old gods sleep. That’s what it’s called. How about it, princess?”

Where Leonie pointed, there was a huge pit whose depth could not be easily guessed.

There was a surprising amount of vegetation growing along the equatorially steep slopes, but looking at the landscape from the highest point, it was clear that this place was not entirely natural.

“It seems like something worse has happened here than the terrible things Emperor Jupiter did in the Kingdom of Magica.”

“Do you remember, princess?”

“… No, I only have knowledge that I saw this crater of unknown depth in the devastated lands of the Magica Kingdom.”

The princess was confident when she saw the land with the same result as the tragedy caused by a being with god-like power.

There is a precious power here that can spark rebellion.
