Chapter 298: New Imperial Godblade

Ah, all adoptive fathers, didn't I already say that about ginseng? This month ginseng needs to rest, relax the mind, otherwise inspiration will run dry.

Isn't it perfect that after May Day, I can go out and play? Hahaha!

You told your aunt what had happened recently, and when she heard the news of your father's death, she was just as incredulous.

Nobody could believe that such a mighty Imperial Godblade would fall so easily—not even your aunt.

Although your aunt can wake up, she still needs continuous treatment, waking only occasionally once a week, but even so you're quite satisfied.

The natural disaster's erosion continues; even the once-mighty empire has fallen into peril. Your uncle, as the current head of the family, may not be weak, but he cannot withstand such a powerful disaster.

Besides, without your father's presence, the surrounding nobles occasionally ostracize and target him, driving your uncle's mindset to the brink—he almost drew his sword and killed them all.

And with the church bereft of its holy maiden, only the pope can resume duties; the empire's interior is already in utter chaos.

To keep the empire from falling apart, the helpless BOSS can only help stabilize things, but because the imperial family is corrupt, even stabilizing the situation does no good.

Now the hollow empire desperately needs a new leader—or to rebuild a new nation—since the empire is part of his plan; without its guardianship, blood disaster would border the demon lands.

Thus the consequence is a high probability of another ultimate gu king appearing—just like the ultimate gu king like Feili, there would definitely be more than one.

「？」

What? You want me to become emperor?

This was said by Big Cat; she looks bewildered right now, while BOSS is teasingly glancing at Jiert.

Ask your knight lord whether he'd be willing to become that emperor.

Jiert raised his eyebrows; being emperor of the empire? He couldn't care less.

Big Cat looked pleadingly at Jiert, but he coldly shook his head.

Big Cat, you could give it a try—you're not always envious of those noble ladies, are you?

Now you can just become emperor.

One sentence made even Sapphire burst out laughing, holding her stomach.

Big Sister Big Cat, this is BOSS's 'mission'!

Why are you saying something so strange?

Big Cat is furious; she loves wandering freely and has no desire to be an emperor.

Jiert, why don't you try?

I'm not interested.

Jiert shook his head; he wants to roam challenging strong foes, not to govern.

But he knows his uncle is probably having a tough time.

Then there's nothing we can do, Big Cat; just hang in there for a few years.

No way!

I'll do it.

Suddenly a steady voice came from beside the three, and Jiert raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It's that red-haired guy he can never beat.

Well, you finally showed up.

BOSS smirked slyly; there's no way he'd let unreliable Big Cat become emperor.

Hmph, is this another part of your scheme?

So Jiert, please reintroduce yourself.

I am Clement Rosetti, the current imperial princess.

If anyone is to become emperor, it should be me who inherits it.

That's correct.

Jiert nodded; he knows little about royal affairs—this princess left the royal household long ago, and he's never even seen her, let alone recognized her.

BOSS, don't tell me I'm not involved this time—just see if I believe it.

Haha, of course there is.

Your task is to become the new Imperial Godblade.
