The tallest places in the centre of the city were the city hall and my residence.
Since Im just a prince, my so-called palace couldnt be considered a complete palace. It wasnt even half the size of the elven imperial palace. But considering the people by my side, it would be pointless even if it was larger.
The outer palace alone was enough for to ss around in. My palace is basically a square palace. The guards pulled the door open. The floor was made of smooth and white marble. A lawn and a flower bed were arranged on the side, except that they hadnt grown yet. In the centre of the plaza in front of the palace was a huge water fountain. The fountain was a statue of a person wielding a sword atop a horse
Wait! Isnt that ?!
Im still alive damn it! Im still alive! I dont think its such a good idea to make a statue out of !
But it looks like they dont share that belief here.
After we had entered the palace, the stablen and servants who had been waiting for a long ti started busying themselves. The maids and guards the empress brought along also began to hand over jobs, as well as beginning to moving items.
I arrived at the entrance of the palace, took in a deep breath and stepped up onto the steps.
This place is mine, now.
Mom, have Vyvyan and Lucia arrived? When I turned around to ask Mom, who was sitting behind , that question, she paused and looked at slightly unhappy.
She replied, Son, does that woman have to be the first thing you think about, upon arriving here for the first ti? Mommy accompanied you on such a long trip, but you didnt even thank Mommy after arriving, and instead asked about that woman first Mommy is a little unhappy, now. No, Mommy is very very unhappy, now Mom showed her displeasure with her entire body.
If I could see murderous intent then her murderous intent right now could cover the entire sky I swiftly shook my head.
I looked at Mom, who had her head down and her fists clenched tightly, and smiled helplessly. I explained to her, Mom Mom thats not it thats not it Im not thinking about just her its just its just that I havent seen her in a long ti, so I thought shed be here waiting for
Mom folded her arms angrily and went hmph before looking away, refusing to answer my question.
Co on, why are you acting like a young girl getting jealous? Dont you think its not a good idea to be acting like this at your age, and with people around? What do you want to do to make you happy? Hugs? Kisses? A princess carry?
Ah, I looked at Moms bosom rise and fall. I dont think I could carry Mom I smiled mischievously and walked up to Moms side. I wrapped my arm around her arm and acted coquettishly, Alright, alright, Mom, dont be angry, Mom. Of course, I care about you. Im very grateful that you accompanied on such a long trip So dont be angry~. Ill do anything if you stop being angry, Mom.
Mom snorted and then turned her head to look at . With a tinge of excitent, she asked, Anything?
Mom, mind yourself a bit Nier is right next to us
Whatever do you an? What are you thinking, Son?! Mom looked at slightly unhappy. She continued, But I do hope that you can co and dance with at the evening banquet in two days ti. Yep, thats what I want. Son, I wont be angry if you promise that.
Really? I can promise you that. Ill dance with you on the night then I was planning to anyway. But Im not good at dancing Mom I dawdled.
Her request was unexpectedly simple. I didnt even need to sell my body I feel like Im quite pitiful. Everyone else who goes to another world has won seducing him, or they undergo a gender change and seduce others. But Im using my body as a male to appease my mothers.
Is there any other dinsional traveller whos more pitiful than I am? Tell !!
Its okay, its okay. Mommy is happy just to dance with you. Mommy shall go along with you! Mom imdiately revealed a smile, even though it wasnt exactly very visible since she still had her black face-veil on
Alice smiled helplessly as she watched the empress excited and immature behaviour in front of her son. She didnt know what to say. Countless people wouldnt even dare to dream of dancing with the empress. His Majesty was blessed with great fortune to have the right to dance with her. However, the empresss elated mood as she spoke of the dance was like a young girl proposing a date and her crush agreeing.
She was the empress who stood above all, yet she was acting like a cheerful young girl in front of her son just to get a little closer to him.
Alice had never seen the empress delicate like this before. It appeared she was right. Regardless of how excellent His Majesty was, how diligent he was or how competent he was as a wise ruler, he weakened the empresss courage and determination. The empress is a brave general who slew her enemies, yet she was all giddy because she could dance with her son now.
She was no longer the empress but a lovesick young girl chasing her first love. She was no longer the empress who thought about how to rule a country and bring down cities, but an idiotic mother whod get upset because she couldnt cook well or make clothes well.
Its all His Majestys fault! No, its not that he did anything wrong, but that his very existence itself is a mistake!
His Majesty must be eliminated. Her Majesty will only be Her Majesty when His Majesty disappears. The empire can be without him, but it cant be without Her Majesty! As Her Majestys personal attendant, I must eliminate all threats from Her Majestys side!
His Majesty didnt do anything wrong, but his existence is a mistake!
When I stepped into the palace, I discovered that it was in no way different to a normal palace. It was basically the sa as the one I lived in previously, except that it was now a square-shaped building.
My room was on the second floor. Outside of the massive window was the palaces courtyard with a small white pavilion. However, the flowers and grass around had yet to grow.
I believe that this place will be a magnificent scene to behold in sumr.
Luna scanned the huge room with curiosity, and then said, This place is larger than the bedroom in the outer court. It sure makes it clear that it is the room of the master of the palace I only went to Her Majestys inner court once. This place is almost the sa size as Her Majestys room Ah, there is a secret door here. Hehe, Your Majesty, my room is connected.
There was a secret door on the wall next to the window. Well, it doesnt really count as a secret door, because its a very visible timber door that opens by hinging.
Behind the door was Lunas room. Freya checked it out curiously and said, Its a double bedroom. This must be your personal servant and guards room. It looks like it will be where Miss Nier and Miss Luna live together. It is similar to the outer court, except that now
Freya looked my way and then hugged my arm. She looked at Nier out in the courtyard with excitent, giggled, and said, It looks like this will be Miss Lunas room and mine.
Freya, you have your own room, dont you?
Yes.
Freya giggled softly and then blushed. She added, But I feel that it is safer sleeping next to you, Your Majesty
Nier turned her head around and said, I cant pretend I didnt hear that
Miss Nier, there is no need for you to be angry. Or should I call you sister-in-law?
Youre a good girl, Freya call that again. Call that again!
Oi, oi, oi, miss, arent you too easy?!

*Making a statue of soone while theyre still alive is considered bad luck in traditional Chinese and Vietnase culture because its the equivalent of saying youre dead. Its basically the sa as setting up an altar for soone whos still alive.
