"The Asate family failed to protect that precious little female and was heavily criticized by the public. Their status plumted. Just one year later, they announced that their gravely ill daughter had been saved. But in reality, the Beast King and the Asatai Family Head had secretly reached an agreent. They created a gene female using so of the deceased daughter’s genes and so of the Queen’s genes. And that female... is you."
Martha Brent walked up to Sophie Asate, pinched her face, and studied it for a mont before sneering, "This face of yours really does bear a slight resemblance to the Queen. No wonder the Beast King dotes on you so much and even gave you the empty title of Princess. But a fake is still a fake. You can never beco a Yalan in this lifeti."
"No, that’s impossible... If I’m really a gene female, why haven’t I gotten pregnant yet!"
Gene females were tools created specifically for childbirth, and they generally had high Fertility. But Sophie Asate now had seven or eight partners, yet she still hadn’t produced a single heir!
"Your womb was removed the very day your incubation was successful!"
Sophie Asate’s legs gave out, and she collapsed to the floor.
Martha Brent continued, "You’re nothing but a fake, a pawn for the Beast King to consolidate his power. He had those Beastn in the lab remove your womb and arranged your engagent to Caesar."
Sophie Asate’s initial shock and despair gradually morphed into resentnt—resentnt for everyone.
And above all, an even deeper jealousy for Sang Luo.
’She could never have children in this life.’
’And yet that rat female not only captured Caesar, possessed such a powerful Talent Ability, but she was even having a child so soon! Everything I’ve desperately longed for, why could she get it all so easily?’
Martha Brent said unhurriedly, "You’re not the only one who wants to get rid of her. I do, too."
"Then what do you plan to do?"
"Fertility like that will surely be coveted by the entire Empire. If we could maximize the breeding of females with this kind of Fertility, it would be a montous event for the Empire. Do you think the Beast King would agree?"
"You an..."
"Exactly. You find a way to persuade the Beast King to send her to the laboratory to be made into a gene female." Martha Brent smiled. "No matter how jealous the two of us are, we can’t make any real waves, let alone openly provoke a King Beast. If we’re discovered, death is the only way out."
"The only ones who can keep Caesar in check are the Old Beast King and the entire Empire. If he’s blackmailed with the interests of the whole Empire, he won’t want to refuse, but he also won’t be able to."
Martha Brent actually had a decent impression of Sang Luo, but unfortunately, they stood on opposing sides of a conflict of interest.
She had her eyes on Duotu Yalan and wanted to seize the Royal Family’s power. Sang Luo would be a considerable threat, so it was best to eliminate her quickly to prevent future complications.
「The next day.」
As soon as Egarli Yalan finished with the morning court session, Sophie Asate clung to him, acting cute and spoiled, and slowly steered the conversation toward gene females.
"Father Emperor, I have sothing I’d like to discuss with you... Of course, it’s not for my own sake, but for the future of the Empire!"
Sophie Asate hugged Egarli Yalan’s arm, her voice soft and sweet, coaxing the Beast King until he was beaming. But a deep look of disgust flashed in her eyes before she quickly concealed it.
Egarli Yalan smiled. "Go on, what is it?"
"The gene female program for this year is about to begin. Father Emperor, why not have that rat female participate? We can cultivate a large batch of females with such high Fertility and produce more high-quality offspring! It would be a blessing for the Empire!"
A Servant exclaid in alarm, "But isn’t that noble female pregnant with the Admiral’s child? Putting her in the gene program might harm the mother..."
"She’s a Beastman of our Western Continent, so of course she should contribute to the Western Continent. With Fertility that high, it would be a waste not to use it!"
"But, in the third year the gene program was active, a female died..."
"The lab said that was an accident. Besides, it’s been running for so many years, and the gene technology has matured. Weren’t all the females after that perfectly fine? What is there to worry about!"
Sophie Asate shot him an impatient glare, and the servant lowered his head, not daring to say another word.
She then said in a soft voice, "Father Emperor, it’s just taking a little of her blood. It won’t hurt her, and we can get a large batch of females with excellent Fertility. It’s a fortunate thing for the Empire! Back then, Father Emperor, you brought Caesar back from the East Continent and raised him in the Empire. He still owes you a debt of gratitude for that. This is the perfect chance to have his partner repay that debt!"
