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

Chapter 79

79~ Return Journey~

Pet Contracts and such were really too much for him. He didn't know what to say.

"Fei..."

Stop talking already... She didn't want to lose face in front of her own Father the King...

She didn't know why, but even though including this life she had a combined experience of about fifty years, every time she lost face she still wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Logically speaking, if someone lived to fifty years old, they shouldn't take these things so seriously, right?

The little Princess twisted her body while sitting on the Empress's lap, trying to break free from this damned contract's control over her. Unfortunately, she failed. Twisting her body while sitting on the Empress's lap only caused her skin to continuously rub against the Empress's, and the places that were rubbing were rather odd...

"Mo."

"Mm!? What is it, Father the King?"

The little Princess struggled to respond while enduring the shame.

"How did you feel during your time in Scarlet Phoenix Nation?"

Gong stared intently into her eyes as he asked.

"..."

The little Princess didn't dare speak, because she felt a chill run down her spine. Looking back, the Empress was smiling, her face bearing a benevolent smile, as if the moment she said one wrong word, the next second she would be executed on the spot.

"I, I lived quite well... But I feel home is still better."

"Is that so?"

Gong of course knew this was just his precious daughter placating the Empress.

It seemed the Empress had his precious daughter completely under control...

He didn't know what that Pet Contract thing was, but he could roughly guess it was something used to control his precious daughter...

But even if he knew, what could he do about it? There was absolutely no way at all! Even knowing his precious daughter was restricted by this contract, the problem was, could he defeat the Empress?

After waking up, he had gone to understand the current situation a bit. Scarlet Phoenix Nation's army was just outside the city and could flatten Glaze City at any time. Moreover, he himself only possessed the strength of a Great Mage, two levels below the Empress. For her to eliminate him would be as simple as killing a chick.

After simply asking his daughter some questions, he was completely certain his precious daughter was very afraid of the Empress...

However, exactly what she was afraid of was unknown.

"Um, Father the King, do you know where Xiao Xi went?"

She still hadn't seen Maid Xiao Xi until now. She was really quite worried.

"Xiao Xi..."

Gong thought for a moment and answered:

"At that time, I had her take some things and leave first. When she receives word, she should return immediately."

After chatting a bit more with his precious daughter, the Empress stood up and interrupted:

"The Eighteen Alliance Nations won't come anymore, so I'm preparing to withdraw the troops. I'll bring Mo along and withdraw tomorrow."

The Empress looked at Gong, her eyes seeming to ask if he had anything else to say.

"...I hope you can treat my daughter well."

"Heh... That goes without saying. My pet won't be bullied by anyone else."

The Empress said while picking up the little Princess.

The little Princess had already buried her head in the Empress's ample bosom at this point, not daring to look at what expression her cheap Father the King currently wore.

"Sigh..."

Gong rubbed his temples.

Whether he believed what the Empress said or not, he had to believe it...

...

...

Soon it was the next day. The Empress led the little Princess back to the military camp and announced the withdrawal. Very quickly, the entire camp packed up. What should be taken was taken, and what shouldn't be taken was all left on the ground.

"Let's go."

The Empress pulled the little Princess's hand and boarded the carriage.

Inside the carriage, the Empress played with her just like before...

Pet... Was she really just a pet in the Empress's heart and nothing more?

Thinking this, the little Princess inevitably fell into contemplation.

Was her position in the Empress's heart really just that of a pet?

"Mo, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing."

The little Princess shook her head.

She felt she must have lost her mind to be thinking about this question. Why would she be dwelling on this issue? Since the Empress wanted a pet, then she would just play the role of a pet properly...

She somewhat resented this identity, but there was no helping it. What she had been forced to sign back then was a Pet Contract...

At least everything she cherished was still there...

The little Princess lay on the Empress's lap, enjoying the Empress's lap pillow.

At least the Empress's thighs were quite comfortable to rest on.

However, very soon, a hand began playing with her cheeks, preventing her from falling asleep using the lap pillow.

"I want to sleep..."

"Then sleep."

After the Empress let go this time, she didn't play with her anymore, just letting her off like that. This didn't quite match the Empress's style, but at least for her it was a good thing.

Very quickly, she entered dreamland...

For the next several days, the Empress was like she was abstaining, not doing any perverted things to her anymore. Most of the time she just let her hold on, without any of those perverted behaviors from when they came here.

So what was going on? If it weren't for the Empress staying by her side these past few days without leaving, she would have thought the Empress had been replaced with someone else. She actually completely didn't make any moves on her. This state continued until they returned to the Imperial Palace of Scarlet Phoenix Nation...

Her sixth sense told her the Empress might be holding back a big move!

The next second, the Empress's question seemed to confirm her sixth sense.

"Mo should be eighteen years old now, right?"

"Uh uh... I, I am?"

The little Princess answered in a small voice.

"That's good then."

Leaving this one sentence, the Empress left her alone in the bedroom and went out herself.

What was going on? It was just...

The little Princess scratched her head, then very quickly realized. Just now the Empress had asked her if she was eighteen yet, and she answered yes, so didn't that mean...!?

Holy crap!!!

These past few days the Empress hadn't played with her, letting her rest fully for several days. Then just now she asked if she was an adult, and as soon as she answered, the Empress immediately went out. Didn't that mean...!?

The little Princess regretted it. She really shouldn't have answered that question just now, or she should have directly said she wasn't eighteen yet. Now it was done for. Tonight she probably couldn't escape her fate...

She quickly scanned her surroundings. The only place to hide was under the bed, and the probability of not being discovered there was basically zero...

So she chose to give up, lying flat on her back on the bed, silently waiting for her doom.

She definitely couldn't escape. If she tried to run, tonight might be even worse. Better to obediently listen and wait here. Maybe she could suffer a bit less...

The little loli maid and Maid Ling had both been sent away. Right now in the entire inner Imperial City, there were only her and the Empress. In other words, no matter how loudly she called out, no one would hear.

The little Princess's face had practically turned green. Just thinking about what would happen tonight made her afraid...

Finally, the Empress returned. The little Princess huddled under the blanket, listening to the approaching footsteps and staring fixedly at the doorway. The Empress pushed the door open and entered, but strangely, both her hands were empty. She wasn't holding any strange things...
