Although it wasn't that strange for the crimson-haired girl to tease her from time to time, Cynthia knew that the real reason she was receiving the 'special treatment' these days was because she had denied being introduced to the 'mortals' that Emilia favored. Of course, while she looked down on mortals in general, Cynthia normally wouldn't go through so much trouble without reason. If it only took a few minutes of her summoning time to let the mortal girls stare at her magnificence in awe,…

Although he had been unable to refute the girl from the start to the end, the president of Red Dusk was still someone with decades of political experience. One failure, no matter how massive, wouldn't make him completely lose his cool. "Since the empress is unwilling to be reasonable, we—" Emilia sighed. "What a waste of time. Bye." Cutting off the call before the opposite side could protest, the crimson-haired girl quickly pulled up Noelle's number with a smile. "For any…

Halfway through their 'inspection', Emilia received a call from Noelle letting her know that the president of Red Dusk wished to 'get in touch' with her to discuss certain 'sensitive matters'. Emilia hummed. "We can let him wait for a while, why don't you—" Crystal interrupted her with a cough. "W-Why don't you go take the call, a-and we can handle the matter here?" The crimson-haired girl blinked at her in surprise, but after thinking about it for a moment, she agreed. "Well,…

As people who had agreed to go on what was pretty much a 'suicide mission' with very little chance of returning alive, the loyalty of these captured soldiers towards the commonwealth was initially quite extreme. Faced with not only complete abandonment, but also betrayal, however, quickly caused their convictions to waver. And when Emilia proposed 'rescuing' their families, a few finally couldn't help but start confessing. Of course, they weren't stupid enough to just admit everything…
-
Instead of answering them directly, Emilia just motioned for Dixie to play the next clip. This one wasn't a high-definition video like the announcement from before, but an audio tape. The contents, however, were no less chilling to the captured soldiers. "Mr. President, the thing about the implantation of explosives inside the soldiers going for mission Blue… can I suggest we go with some alternate method?" The voice was unmistakably that of their general, and if they hadn't…

It was clear that the captured soldiers were more than a little terrified of Michelle, no, the fate that awaited them, but Emilia didn't feel that was necessarily a good thing. After all, when compelled like this, people were much more likely to 'confess' what they believed the one torturing them would want to hear instead of the actual facts, as that would be the most 'reliable' way out of their desperate situation. Moreover, Emilia didn't really need these people to 'tell' her…
-
The crimson-haired girl giggled as she jumped off and twirled around on her heel in front of Crystal. "Don't be so worried, ah, Michelle knows how to control herself, and aren't we already here?" Crystal bit her lip as she nodded, though she didn't say that she was really more worried about the destruction of evidence and witnesses than she was about the 'fate' of those people. After all, for those who tried to hurt Emilia… the hatred she felt for them in her heart wasn't any less…

For most people, the truly terrifying thing about monarchs was not that they had too much power in their hands, but that they could make full use of that power with little to no justification at any time. How little they would tolerate or how far their 'retaliation' would go against someone's 'offense' depended entirely on their temperament. If they were in a good mood, perhaps the offender could be completely let go, while the same 'offense' might get another's entire family…

Faced with the diplomat's desperate attempts to clear themselves of any 'suspicion', Emilia couldn't help but tilt her head with a curious smile. 'It's almost admirable how loyal he is to the country that used him as a disposable pawn, isn't it?' Unfortunately, the poor man's efforts were bound to be ruined by the indignant Linda. "I cannot believe it! AHHH! How dare they, how dare they?!" Her companion tried to reach out to cover her mouth in a panic, but before he could, a painful…
-
The 'arguments' between the diplomats of Red Dusk and the Empress of Blue Dawn were going as usual when the door suddenly opened without warning. Emilia grinned when she saw the serious look on Noelle's face. "Are they finally here?" The gray-haired girl nodded. "It should take them less than twenty minutes to get to the second chamber." Naturally, the confused murmurs of 'what's going on' were pointedly ignored by everyone in the know. The crimson-haired girl sighed in…
