Chapter 3

 "After all, the empire is getting sick." said princess

however, as person has lived in the Imperial City for many years, and she could sense an gloominess swirling with its usual energy.

"... It's been three years since His Majesty the Emperor was retired. Even the Empire is starting to tire?"

"At least if my father was alive, this wouldn't have happened.

He was a great emperor who had the ability to lead the empire and was loved by the people. But that's why his demise caused the empire to run into a unpredictable ways .

he Emperor served the role of energizing the nation with enthusiasm, vitality, and spirit of the nation. The loss of a Emperor made it look like an unpleasant fever caused by illness.

"Or, if he had properly nominated a successor, the story might have been different."

Zeruch had three sons.

The first prince Dimetrio supported by old aristocrats.

The second prince Baldrosh supported by military personnel.

The Third Prince Manfred supported by emerging aristocrats.

They were all old enough to be enthroned. But None had met their father’s expectations of Emperor Zeruch. however. Zeruch knew what made a fine ruler. however, the can't entrusts the empire to his sons, who’d failed to meet his expectations.

Then Zeruch died without appointing his successor, and as a result induce a battle for succession by the three prince's. the emperor himself flawed At the end of his illustrious career.

however even now, three years after his demise, the battle for succession has not yet been resolved. Empire is continues to waste time unnecessarily while having a placeless vitality.

"... It's an ironic story, isn't it?" Lowellmina ridicules. "For the well-being of the people of the empire, one of my brothers should be on the throne right now. For my personal ambitions, this turmoil is the greatest opportunity. "

"... The ambition of being a woman but wanting the throne of the emperor. It's important not only to be talented, but also to have good momentum. "

In this era, there are few examples of women wielding their abilities in politics. Not to mention the empress unheard of. Lowellmina is about to walk the thorny road.

For that reason, it is also possible to outsmart the prince's who are enthusiastic about the battle for sucession, and to those who truly worry about the country. she must also preach about justice for all that is not there. So Fyshe is convinced.

"Let's say that the turmoil of the empire itself is not what Your Royal Highness reason of cause. Take advantage of the opportunity. I don't think you need to worry about that. "

"... That's right. For now, though." There, the words between the two were cut off.

Then they heard the hustle and bustle of the guests downstairs, which they hadn't heard before.

The conversations they speak are diverse, but one topic is Lowermina's earlobe. but one particular topic piqued Lowellmina’s interest.
