The Regressed Empress Tames the Hunting Dog (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 121
Having concluded the stalled negotiations with the Yakum Kingdom, the Emperor summoned troops for war.
Knights and soldiers belonging to the Imperial Household, as well as private troops from each noble house.
The Emperor declared he would gather them all and send them to the border facing the Yakum Kingdom.
It was an obvious ploy: the houses receiving the first conscription orders were mostly those supporting the Second Prince, Kalid.
It was the Emperor’s petty scheme—to send Kalid’s faction to the border, rendering him powerless in the capital.
Daring not to defy the Emperor’s command, each house surrendered their private troops, who were dispatched to the border without proper preparation.
“This cannot be! Your Majesty! Due to this blizzard, we couldn’t sow wheat this winter. How could you send soldiers to the border when supplies are insufficient!”
“Do you think the soldiers of the Ingott Empire would all perish merely from hunger?”
Despite the nobles’ desperate protests, the Emperor scoffed.
“Because we’ve taken no action, those barbarians of the Yakum Kingdom are convinced war won’t happen. They must pay for daring to mock the Empire.”
“Your Majesty!”
“I’m not saying we’ll invade the Yakum Kingdom immediately. I know full well the situation is unfavorable. The knights and soldiers will encamp along the border and remain there. At the very least, the Yakum Kingdom must feel what it’s like to have a blade pressed against their throat.”
The Emperor laughed cruelly.
“And. In these turbulent times of war, should I meet with misfortune due to my own frailty, there must be someone to succeed me.”
Everyone present at the meeting understood this was the Emperor’s true objective.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
We are waiting for it too. I am happy that both Kalid and Bellia ended up happy together
Ahahaha 😂 It’s my first time reading that emperor, empress and prince sneaking out of the palace for fun
