Fursac, the city of Taksa.

Due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle, the city is an excellent location to enjoy the Northern Lights, and with beautiful scenery and superior natural environment, it has always been one of the preferred places for the "winter hunting" of the Vorsack royal family.

To the east of the city of Taksa, there is a lake of considerable size, the surface of which is as smooth as a mirror, like a whole green agate.

Especially when the aurora appears, the entire lake will be illuminated dazzlingly.

Therefore, East Lake of Taksa is also known as "the most beautiful jewel in the northwest of Fusak", which is somewhat similar to the title of Miss "Justice".

Such a beautiful place is naturally occupied by royalty and nobles, and the Einhorn family's palace is located on the lakeside in this area, which is refreshing and tranquil.

At this moment, several black-drawn four-wheeled carriages slowly stopped at the gate of the royal palace, and a palace official got out of the carriage first, opened the door, and helped a handsome man with brilliant blond hair down.

This handsome man, named Harich, was an earl in the northern frontier of the empire.

Of course, he was treated so courteously by court officials, not because of his title, but because of his other secret identity - the empress's lover.

Herich frowned and glanced at the court officials, as if talking to himself, "Don't do anything superfluous in public, do your share of work well, especially run the Empress's property well, that is the best performance in front of Her Majesty the Empress."

In fact, Herich is not only the Empress's lover, but also serves as the Empress's private treasurer and investment advisor because of his outstanding business and investment talents, which is why he often gets the opportunity to have private meetings with the Empress.

And that court official was naturally the person sent to him by the empress in the name of assisting, but in fact supervising.

Herich, too, knows this and is not disgusted.

But the court official's words seemed to be extraordinarily much today, and he trotted all the way to Count Helich's flank, and smiled without blushing: "I respect you from the bottom of my heart! In my eyes, even the financial management ability of Earl Hall of Rune is not as good as yours, and it is your series of tricks that have allowed the empress and even the empire's assets to grow for a long time!

"Compared to you, the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Empire is like a curly-haired baboon without a head!

"So I just did it with all my heart, and I had no other purpose...... What industry do you think Her Majesty will put the money from the war bonds sold tonight?"

Although Herichy is a calm and reserved person, he is still a little fluttering by the sycophants of the court officials in front of him, and said casually: "Her Majesty the Empress and the Empire's main goal at present is to win the war with Rune, and according to the news from the south, Fenerport's armored brigade and Rune's artillery fighting vehicles have performed well, so the next step is likely to invest in related fields."

Speaking of this, he glanced at the palace official and said with a smile: "I remember that your family has a factory that produces steam engines, but you can prepare materials and samples in advance, and you can eat this investment one step faster."

"Yes, thanks for the reminder, Lord Count." The palace official said with a smile.

The two walked into the palace as they spoke, and then walked towards the main hall on the fourth floor.

The two rows of soldiers in straight dresses at the top of the staircase indicate that Empress Sophia II has moved into the palace.

Passing through the guards and up the stairs, led by a squire, the two entered the main hall of the palace, the Hanging Gardens.

The pride of the palace's designer, Maestro Pierre, this hanging garden is claimed to be inspired by Russell's Babel.

In the center of the garden is a relatively open air banquet venue, overlooking the lake and mountains in the front, surrounded by flowers and trees...... At the same time, it is also an excellent place to see the Northern Lights.

As soon as he stepped into the banquet ground, Herich's eyes caught eye on Empress Sophia II, dressed in a lake-green dress that framed her curves to the fullest, with her long red hair pulled up like a flame

, the blue eyes are deep and charming, and the temperament is graceful and luxurious, and there is more domineering, as if all beings are trampled under her feet.

Gazing at Her Majesty the Empress with fascination, Herrich suddenly felt that Prince Milon beside her was a bit of an eyesore, although he knew that the other party was her husband and the most suitable person to stand by her side.

But Herich's heart just felt uncomfortable...... This is an emotion he has not had before, he became the empress's lover, in fact, it is more to grab power, to say how much he likes each other...... He asked himself if he was not a person who took feelings very seriously.

"What's wrong with me? Have you suddenly awakened a man's possessiveness?" Secretly laughing at himself, Helrich forced himself to look only at Her Majesty the Empress, ignoring Prince Millon.

But the palace official who saw this scene lowered his head and hooked the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart, "It's reasonable for a young man to be a little jealous, isn't it?"

As if sensing Herich's gaze, Sophia II turned her head slightly, her eyes raised, and she met his eyes.

Sensing her lover's jealous appearance, there seemed to be a light shining in her blue pupils, and it was rare to see her little lover behaving like this, and she decided to "comfort" the other party tonight.

I heard that he has been trying to annex the territory of Baron "Iris" recently, but he has been met with various obstacles and has not succeeded...... Hehe, I'll quietly help him fulfill his wish as a surprise for him.

Now, though, is not the time......

Sophia II restrained the change in her expression and continued to talk to the nobles around her.

……

At the same time, in a hotel in the city of Taksa, Abner, who had taken Furth on a "journey" here, grabbed a quill from the "hole in history" and wrote on the letterhead that he had "created":

「…… The Empress's lover, Count Herich, was aware of her jealousy, who decided to release the personality she had obtained from a secret meeting tonight and read the official documents on her behalf, while she secretly left the palace to give each other a romantic date and comfort her lover's displeasure.

"At the same time, in order to surprise her lover, Her Majesty instructed her own hidden forces to go to the Iris Territory to get rid of the contemporary Baron Iris...... In the end, they were all killed by the current head of the Berial family, the succubus, and Yarubed, who possessed the baron.

"The Einhorn Angels who followed the Winter Hunt chose to turn a blind eye to the Empress's secret because they had known the Empress's secrets for a long time......

At this point, Abner put down the quill in his hand and thought to himself: the only variable is that Boris the "Glory...... She seems to be able to resist the "0-08" arrangement to a certain extent, and it is easy to startle the snake by writing him in......
