84~ Imperial Consort~
"What. Did. You. Just. Say!?"
The little Princess slammed the table furiously, loudly questioning, trying to get Xiyan to say this was all fake.
"You're saying she publicly declared to the outside world that I'm her Imperial Consort!!??"
Burning with rage, filled with indignation, embarrassed and angry, flustered and exasperated, rising from her seat in fury, jumping with rage!
What the hell kind of Empress! Publicly declaring I'm her Imperial Consort! Damn it!
She exploded. Her entire being exploded. She exploded the moment she heard this news, even exploding without needing to look twice.
"Uh... Princess, please calm down, you must prioritize your health..."
"Health my ass!"
She couldn't take it anymore! She was going to storm over there right now and demand an explanation!
"Princess! Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!"
Xiyan hurriedly hugged the little Princess, lest her Princess Mo really let her brain overheat and charge directly to the Empress to question her. Right now Princess was at the height of her anger. If she really went over, who knew what kind of scene she'd cause!
"No! I'm going to kill her! I must kill her! I'm going to kill her right now!"
To actually say she was the Empress's Imperial Consort, where would her dignity be!? If this spread to Glaze Nation, how would the people below view her!?
"Princess!"
...
After a bout of struggling, the little Princess finally calmed down.
Thinking carefully, aside from publicly declaring this to legitimately keep her by her side, was the Empress also trying to make her come over on her own initiative?
Thinking of this, the little Princess frowned.
The scheming pervert Empress! In order to make her come over on her own, she even used such underhanded tactics?
Her expression immediately darkened.
She had said before, if the Empress really did that to her, then it would be impossible to forgive her, she would even hate her for life! The result was that the Empress completely didn't take this seriously...
Going over there was of course impossible. Even if the Empress came personally with humble apologies, she would absolutely never forgive her! She would absolutely never forgive the Empress's actions!
If it weren't for being constrained by the Pet Contract, causing her to be unable to leave the inner city even one step, otherwise she might have already started rushing back to Glaze Nation.
"Princess, please have some tea to calm down."
Xiyan sensibly handed the little Princess a cup of black tea. After the little Princess downed it in one gulp, she calmed down a bit more.
Wasn't the Empress's purpose in doing this just to lead her by the nose? She just wouldn't comply. She'd directly ignore the Empress. From now on, she'd just do things according to her own ideas, no need to pay attention to the Empress's every move...
"Chocolate! Vanilla!"
"Meow meow meow?"
The two cats jumped out from the cat den fixed to the wall and climbed into the little Princess's embrace.
Who cares about that damn Empress? Having cats was enough for her!
The little Princess buried her head in the two cats' soft bodies and took a deep breath.
With the Pet Contract's restrictions, she couldn't attack the Empress in any way. And because the Empress always harassed her in various ways, making it impossible to ignore her, it was especially, especially annoying.
To put it bluntly, what difference was there between this and continuing to control her with the Pet Contract? There was no difference at all. The Empress simply hadn't realized this. Fundamentally, she never considered her feelings.
On this point, she felt the Empress really was... wanting her to obediently stick close without using the Pet Contract, how was that possible!?
She could only say, unless special methods were used to brainwash her, otherwise this was absolutely impossible.
"Mo."
Very soon, today's less angry time ended, because the Empress had returned.
Little loli maid Xiyan was once again sent away. Only she and the Empress remained in the bedroom.
The little Princess didn't speak, turning around to continue petting the cats. The Empress temporarily didn't bother her, but first toured the little Princess's "masterpiece."
"Quite nice."
The Empress praised.
"These are probably the two best cat dens in the world in terms of materials used, right?"
The little Princess didn't respond, as if she hadn't heard anything.
"Mo, I think we can chat a bit."
The Empress approached, reaching out to touch the little Princess.
"I have nothing to say to you."
The little Princess shifted toward the middle of the bed, not letting the Empress touch her.
Nothing to say. Since it was already done, then it was done. If she wanted forgiveness, she'd have to wait for the next life.
"I want to make you my consort."
The Empress said with a serious expression.
"I know that day I..."
"Enough! Don't mention that day anymore! I don't want to hear it!"
The little Princess shouted loudly.
"..."
"..."
The two fell silent like this, the atmosphere becoming extremely awkward.
"That day I also don't know why I..."
"Heh, is that your excuse?"
Never willing to admit her own mistakes. Even if she had problems, she wouldn't think about where exactly the problem lay. Even now, she could only come up with excuses like "I don't know," too lazy even to fabricate something. This was the Empress...
The little Princess thought.
"Will you let me explain?"
"..."
The little Princess put the two cats down from the bed, crawled under the blanket herself, and covered her ears, refusing to receive any sound from the Empress.
"Mo, come here."
The Empress commanded.
Unable to control herself, the little Princess could only sit beside the Empress with a disgusted expression.
"I'm sorry..."
"I'm sorry? All the torment I've suffered these ten-plus days, you think you can end it with just 'I'm sorry'? Also, is your so-called apology using the contract to restrict my movements these past days, and now forcing me to listen to your explanation?"
"I..."
"You what? From the very beginning, imprisoning me by your side was fundamentally to dig out that knowledge from me, while conveniently satisfying your own perverted needs, right?"
"Yes, I'm grateful you helped me resolve Glaze Nation being infiltrated and facing the risk of national extinction. But when I wanted to open up my heart to you a bit, what did you do?"
"Forcing me, tormenting me, humiliating me, is this your so-called 'liking'? Then I'm sorry, this kind of liking is too heavy. I really can't bear it. If you want to satisfy your perverted desires, could you please go find someone else? Your Majesty the Empress of Scarlet Phoenix Nation?"
After saying everything in one breath, the little Princess was somewhat out of breath, gasping in small gulps.
The Empress was struck speechless, because everything the little Princess said was true. At first, she indeed thought that way, wanting to obtain the little Princess's knowledge, while conveniently satisfying her own desires...
Those who ruled all had some unknown desires, including herself. This was normal. She could face her own needs squarely. This was her strength, and also her weakness.
Just as the outside world said, she didn't like men. She liked women, and the kind that were sweet and soft, small and cute...
Simply put, she was a yuri lover plus lolicon, and the little Princess greatly fit her preferences. Moreover, her knowledge reserves were abundant. So when she learned the one coming to negotiate was the little Princess, she thought to forcibly keep the little Princess in Scarlet Phoenix Nation.
The little Princess was right. At first, she was indeed as the little Princess said, coveting the little Princess's body and knowledge...
