316: Decaying Empire

Imperial capital.

As the heart of the thousand-year-old empire, it is naturally solemn and prosperous, but under the new and bright exterior, there is a bottomless darkness and a completely decaying atmosphere.

As the imperial palace that decides the fate of the entire empire, every step towards destruction is staged all the time.

Today, everyone has the impression that the little emperor, who is not yet an adult and ignorant, still sits on a high throne as usual, looking down at the courtiers below.

It's just that the shaking in the depths of his eyes and the slightly trembling body from time to time are revealing abnormalities.

Fortunately, no one looked at her.

The old man kneeling in the center of the hall had sadness in his eyes.

He was the high priest of the empire, and he used to have great prestige, but now he looked like a prisoner about to be executed.

"Your Majesty······"

He knew his destiny well.

If you refuse the minister's envelope, you will inevitably become the target of killing chickens and monkeys today.

But what if you know?

Just as he knew his fate, he also knew that the empire had decayed to the point of hopelessness, and even some truths and secrets could not reach the emperor's ears.

Now, the little emperor who is in charge of the empire, what he sees and hears is the scenery and sounds that the minister hopes the little emperor to see and hear, so that the little emperor can see and hear.

How sad is it to be an emperor?

How unfortunate is it to be a subordinate?

Even if you say some truth out loud at this moment, it will be considered rude, and then you will be fooled by the minister's words.

No, in this era, it is the minister who is in charge of the empire - Ornest.

There is no doubt that the empire is dying step by step under the tyranny of the ministers.

Loyal ministers were killed for various reasons, and even their families could not escape the poisonous hands of the minister.

Officials, co-opted by ministers, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, must go to the front of ministers, otherwise they will be eliminated.

Civilians, under various policies, can only choose to endure silently, being squeezed little by little.

And that's just internal trouble, the borders of the empire are surrounded by multiple foreign armies, and there are even more anti-imperial forces in the south rising at an alarming rate.

The empire is in jeopardy?

It's no longer counted, the empire has long since perished, and now it's just a pitiful extension of time with the essence of a thousand years.

"It's really sucking, this empire ······"

With a long sigh, the high priest looked at the girl in the corner of the hall.

His heroic posture is sassy, and his temperament alone is worthy of the name of the general who guards the empire, but the sadness is that this powerful general only has foolish loyalty to the empire.

Obviously he had foreseen the future of the empire and could hear the wails of the people, but he chose to only do his duty, abide by the purpose of the family, and not interfere in any political affairs.

"The Great General······

"Huh? Me? uh······ What's this name? Anyway, if you want to ask me for help, you may be disappointed, I can delay your death at most, and as for the specifics, I can't help much. ”

The girl's face was dazed, and she looked perfunctory with a troublesome look.

"No, the old man just hopes... The general can take care of His Majesty more, after the old man is gone, I hope the general can... Forget it, everything has its own fate. ”

With that, the High Priest shook his head and looked up at the Emperor and the demonic figure behind him.

"Come on, what do you want to do with the old man, just use your means."

A huge figure stepped out of the shadow of the throne, holding its belly up, biting at the slices of meat.

This is the Imperial Chancellor - Earnest.

"Hahaha, the High Priestess laughed, I don't have the right to dispose of you, everything is in accordance with Your Majesty's will."

The slow and kind tone was as if he was coaxing a wounded child, but there was undisguised mockery in his eyes.

But even so, he maintained respect for the high priest and respect for the little emperor in his words.

This is a disguise, and its very existence is made up of lies.

But it is precisely because of this mask that is worn on the face all the time that the horror of the minister is revealed, and he appears in front of the little emperor with a cordial and kind attitude at any time to gain absolute trust.

Biting the slices of meat again, looking at the high priest's gray eyes, the minister was suddenly in a much happier mood.

"Okay, Your Majesty, it's time to issue a verdict, although the loss of the High Priest makes me very sad, but if no punishment is given, the anger of the people will not be simply calmed down."

"Traitor... Verdict? ”

"That's right, judgment, Your Majesty don't worry, don't be afraid, I will share your worries, whether it is the expectations of the people, or those traitorous ministers, their actions, I will report them to you one by one, you just have to give your will with peace of mind, you are a wise monarch, there will be no mistakes."

"But but but ······"

The little emperor trembled and looked terrified.

"What are you waiting for?" The minister was a little dissatisfied.

What's going on, could it be that the little emperor has noticed something?

However, the little emperor's heart is fighting a completely different kind of than he imagined.

It's dripping, it's going to be dripping, the gravy is going to drip onto the body, hey, it's disgusting, it's disgusting!!

Resisting the urge to stand up immediately and slap the disgusting moving Mr. Piece of Meat next to her, the girl smiled reluctantly.

"That, I... No, Chancellor, can you stay away from me? It's so close. ”

"Huh?"

"Just, stand farther away, understand?"

The girl's brows twitched, and she looked at the general on the other side, as if asking if she could kill the fat man.

However, the general wrapped his fingers around his long silver-white hair and ignored her directly.

That's right, the little emperor and the great general, respectively, Akino Masa and Altair.

Altaïr was indifferent to his current status, only dissatisfied with the mission.

What does it mean to conquer the world and give it to that bastard woman?!

This is not allowed!

Anyway, she has already decided to mess up this mission.

And Akino Ya is about to cry.

God is pitiful, she just wants to be a salted fish silently, and when she accepted the system, she was only pulled by Hoshino Suzu, so she reluctantly accepted it.

After that, he didn't go on a single mission.

How good is it to sleep in Brother Bai Hua's arms, and what tasks do you do?

With that international kung fu, it is better to make up for sleep more, be coquettish to Brother Bai Hua more, and cultivate favorability.

Doing tasks or something, the most annoying, long live the salted fish!

However, she never thought that the dog system would forcibly take her through without consent, and the most excessive thing was that it separated her from Bai Hua!

Of course, it's not really a big deal.

But what does it mean to give me the status of an emperor?

Well, the emperor is the emperor, being a mascot, and touching fish every day to make up for sleep, it is still acceptable.

But what the hell is this disgusting minister?!

You still want to touch me? They're trying to strangle him, bastard!

"Ahem, I'm tired, send the high priest back, and we'll discuss this matter tomorrow."
