After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 286

286~ Sinner~

"You, you don't come any closer!!!"

"Mm? Why is Mo so resistant to me?"

Isn't it because your head is filled with those things every day!?

However, she didn't dare say it directly, afraid the Empress would get upset and immediately subject her to some intensity.

"I'm tired, I want to sleep!"

"Want to sleep? But it's still early~"

The Empress grabbed her foot and pulled it toward herself.

"So it's time we did some things adults should do~"

Do a hammer! She was so young, how could this hentai Empress bring herself to do it!?

Although she was already an adult, her appearance really didn't look like something you could lay hands on!

......

......

"What you call things adults should do is this?"

"Otherwise? What else did Mo think it was?"

This rendered the Little Princess silent.

She couldn't answer, and not answering wasn't right either. In the end, she just casually deflected and let it pass.

She truly hadn't expected that what the Empress called things adults should do would actually be this......

It was actually sitting together discussing the Scarlet Phoenix Nation's future development trends, plans, and various feasibilities?

"Mo, what do you think the Scarlet Phoenix Nation will ultimately develop into?"

"......Most likely it'll be overthrown by a new regime."

"What do you mean?"

"Literally. Whether it's the Scarlet Phoenix Nation, Glaze Nation, or any other country, they'll all ultimately be overthrown by new regimes. It's just a difference in how long the rule lasts."

"No matter how well you do now, your descendants, your descendants' descendants, among countless descendants there will eventually be one who ruins the entire Scarlet Phoenix Nation to the point of collapse, ultimately leading to a popular uprising......"

The Little Princess mercilessly recounted the Scarlet Phoenix Nation's future demise.

She acknowledged the Empress was strong, strong enough to suppress an entire nation by herself. But what about the future? Would future descendants always be as powerful as the Empress?

Great Archmages were already difficult to produce, not to mention the Empress had repeatedly broken through and rebuilt to reach her current heights. Could the Empress's descendants guarantee that every single one would reach the level of Great Archmage?

"This kind of thing is inherently a process of regime change. No one can stop the train of the times. If someone attempts to stop it, they can only end up being smashed to pieces by the train of the times."

"So you're saying everything I'm doing now is futile?"

"Not quite. At the very least, your achievement of unifying the continent will be passed down through the ages."

"Is that so?"

No one can block the train of the times from heading toward the future?

She didn't believe it. She had to try, try to block the train of the times, to stop it from heading toward that future where the Scarlet Phoenix Nation collapsed.

As long as she remained in power for even one day, she absolutely wouldn't let the Scarlet Phoenix Nation fall from history's stage!

"......"

The Little Princess was quite speechless about this.

Because she felt the Empress's idea was completely fanciful.

Ridiculous. How could anyone possibly keep a nation eternally prosperous? Didn't the empire on which the sun never sets eventually see its sunset?

"Whatever you want. I can't get involved anyway."

A Great Archmage like the Empress who could live for a thousand years was completely beyond her reach! She was just an ordinary person. Living a hundred-some years was already the limit.

Therefore, she had absolutely no intention of participating.

It was originally destined to head toward destruction. No matter how much you delayed, you were only extending some lifespan. Sooner or later, it would still be overthrown.

However, in this world, wouldn't the time needed be even longer? After all, magic existed, and those who mastered magic were mostly the nation's middle or upper echelons.

Under such circumstances, even if the people at the very bottom were oppressed to the point of having no other options, it would still be very difficult to overthrow the regime of those above them.

But who knew if some chosen one whose parents both died wouldn't appear, directly killing their way up to overthrow the regime?

Simply skipping over the topic, the Little Princess lay on the bed.

At the very least, the Empress still hadn't laid hands on her until now, only continuously playing with her cat ears and cat tail.

"Fei."

"Mm? What is it, little kitty~"

"You really don't plan to do anything to me?"

"Does little kitty hope I'll do something to you?"

"......No!"

"Then why is little kitty asking these things?"

"Isn't it because of you! Every time you brought me out on vacation before, it was...... it was doing those kinds of things!"

"What kinds of things?"

Seeing the Empress had absolutely no intention of acknowledging it, the Little Princess simply shut her mouth directly.

Want her to say it herself? That was completely impossible!

However, because she'd already slept enough on the way here today, she tossed and turned in bed without the slightest bit of drowsiness.

Looking at the Empress's side, she'd already started snoring, obviously having fallen asleep.

Great! She was the only one who couldn't sleep!

Ordinarily speaking, the Empress should always sleep later than her. Before sleeping, she should be groping her. The current situation was truly extremely rare.

If she herself weren't lying right beside the Empress, she really wouldn't dare believe the Empress could be so well-behaved?

She tried several times using her little foot to rub against the Empress's thigh, and there was no reaction whatsoever.

Alright, she really was asleep.

If it were the Empress of the past, she probably would have long been unable to restrain her impulses and dealt with her.

Sneakily getting out of bed alone, she casually picked up a book and pen, starting to circle and draw, incidentally writing down her ideas in a notebook.

The Scarlet Phoenix Nation's future...... The regime being overthrown was certain, but if you were talking about maintaining a stable regime during the Empress's tenure, there was still no problem. Who knew when the Empress would step down?

This kind of continental apex expert could easily live for a thousand years.

"......"

......

......

"I'm saying, Lady Ling, isn't this unnecessary?"

"Are you in charge or am I in charge?"

"Mmm, alright. We'll do as you say."

Somewhere within the Scarlet Phoenix Nation's borders, beneath a City Lord's manor, the Maid Ling gripped a young girl with one hand, holding a whip in the other hand and dragging it across the floor.

"Don't harm my daughter! I'll confess! I'll confess everything!"

"Didn't City Lord just say something about preferring death to submission? What, what's going on now?"

While speaking, the Maid Ling had already thrown the young girl onto the ground. The long whip in her hand broke through the air and struck the floor.

"I'm guilty! I secretly communicated with remnants of the previous dynasty! I deserve death! My daughter is innocent! She knows nothing! I beg you to spare her! My daughter just turned sixteen! If there's anything, come at me! Let go of my daughter!"

"Is that so? So City Lord also knows what he's done is defying Her Majesty. However, if that's the case, do you think you still have the qualifications to negotiate with me?"

The Maid Xiao Xi dropped the long whip and placed paper and pen beside the City Lord.

"Now, write down your crimes one by one. Let the citizens have a good look at all the deeds you've done over these years. Then write clearly in the letter, drawing a clear line between you and your daughter. This way, I can still guarantee your daughter won't descend to the Yellow Springs together with you in this purge."

"Yes...... Thank you, Lady Ling!"

The City Lord took the paper and pen, writing everything on the paper. When the Maid Ling took it and looked it over, she nodded with satisfaction, looked toward the City Lord's daughter, and tossed over a knife:

"Now, go execute this sinner who betrayed Her Majesty. Only then can you wash away your connection to this sinner."
