24 Chapter 24 (1/2)

Emperor Nartus of the Satellian Empire was frowning as he read a report from his spy organisation.

He sighed and put the letter down...

”What a thing...” He mumbled and looked out of his window.

It was the beautiful city of Salaten, buildings made of churrigueresque architecture, impressive structures heavily carved into with extreme, expressive and florid detailing...

It was truly a beautiful city and rivalled the most beautiful city in the world, the city of the moon, Luna, also known as the Capital city of the Grand Lunar empire!

Nartus then immediately held a secret meeting with his most trusted subordinates...

Once it was done he decided to have a walk around his wife's garden.

”Imperial Father!” He heard a familiar feminine voice and turned around to look at her.

”Amelia, my child what are you doing here?” He asked her curiously.

Amelia, the eldest of his children and the one whom he will give the throne to! She was so beautiful that even the most battle hardened soldier would fall for her looks...

Her long midnight black hair reached upto her supple rear, curves that were hidden under her luxurious female clothing.

”Nothing much father, I was just taking a stroll in the garden... and also, your face... it doesn't look good, what happened?” She replied with a worried expression.

'Wouldn't hurt to tell the future Empress!' He thought. Nartus then sighed loudly, ”There are a few reports... the other three nations are developing new weapons. All of them are trying to produce the same thing! But not a single one is being built here...” He mumbled with a frown.

”It's almost as if the Gods themselves have forsaken us...” Nartus laughed deprecatingly as Amelia frowned.

”If you keep on relying on the Gods, nothing will change!” Amelia voiced out her opinion and continued, ”Why don't you get your engineers, mechanics and blacksmiths to think of something?” She asked him.

”I wouldn't mind that... but the weapon can kill Divine tier mages! If something like that went into the ears of the mages of our Empire, it will bring about a civil war!” Nartus muttered.

”I've heard that the Lunar empire is mobilising it's military... is that true father?” Amelia asked Nartus who nodded slowly...

”...father, at this point mages are expendable! We need to get that technology and equip our empire with it! If you do nothing, the balance will be broken and it will bring about a war again...” Amelia spoke again and voiced out her concerns.

”You are right, I should have thought of it like that... I'm sure you will be a great Empress in the future! I need to go back to work and initiate a few projects.” Nartus smiled at his favourite child and walked away.

'Empress... huh? All I need to do is defeat that man according to the Administrator and bring peace to the continent!' Amelia clenched her fists as her beautiful black eyes turned cold...

The next morning, Alexis woke up and found himself wrapped around in the arms of Florestine who was still sleeping.

He gently took her hands off of him and went to the bathroom...

Once he came back Florestine was awake and looked at him a smile.

”You want to do it now?” Alexis asked her with a raised eyebrow as she nodded with a grin.

”It's morning... you'll be tired when we go out today!” Alexis reprimanded her with a chuckle as she pouted and went to the bathroom but not before giving her hips a little sway...

Alexis who saw this shook his head, he then went back to his room and dressed himself up.

He wore his regular black suit that was made especially for him under the orders of his mother whom he had yet to visit...

'She would probably make a scene' Alexis groaned and decided to walk out of his room only to find Florestine was only in her wet towel.

-●-●-●-

'Damnnit... we're late!' He thought and looked at Florestine who still had a red hue on her face, her skin was smooth and looked moisturized in the after glow.

”Are you alright?” He asked her as she nodded, but tiredly.

”Your highness, you have too much stamina...” She mumbled meekly as Alexis shook his head and hugged her gently.

The duo arrived at Annalise's palace and came out of the carriage.

”Alexis!” He heard his mother's voice and groaned, he was then immediately hugged by her as he pat her head with a wry smile.

It wasn't until she started sniffing him that he pushed her away.

”W-What are you doing?!” He asked her fearfully and covered himself with his hands while Annalise then turned to Florestine and again at Alexis.

”So... when is she due?” His mother asked him with a smirk.

Florestine went behind Alexis in embarrassment as he sighed and shook his head.

”She's not pregnant!” He stated with an annoyed expression.

”Who's pregnant?!” He heard another familiar famine voice and groaned.

”No one Irene!” He said.

”BIG BROTHER!” She shouted and threw herself at him, hoping he would catch her.

Alexis used his wind mana and gently pushed her away until she could stand on her own.

”What the hell is wrong with you people?!” He shouted in annoyance as Irene and Annalise looked at each other and giggled.

”Big brother, are you sleeping with big sis Florestine?” Irene asked Alexis who stared at her for what seemed like an eternity and nodded slowly...
