Emperor Novels & Stories

the woman answered sharply. "Is it true?" The girl wanted to know. Nanny sighed, "It's not my place to say what's true, but I'm sure the Empress will take care of everything in due course. Why do you ask?" Nanny could sense there was more to her questions. Aurora stood from her desk and brought the book to her caretaker. "Look here! Did you know emperors used to have more than one wife? It's strange, don't you think?" Nanny nodded slowly and the girl took this as a cue to continue. "Under the law, the emperor's first born from each woman had a claim to the throne. The heir was usually recognized on the child's twelfth birthday,

“You’ve been looking at him from time to time.” I took a deep breath and began, “Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. He was one of the greatest Romans. In fact, he was part of a continuous line of the so-called Five Good Emperors. They ruled the empire with good governance, wisdom, and virtue. Well, that’s what history books said about him.” He tilted his chin. “Ah, well-versed in history, aren’t you?” “It’s a future career of mine,” I replied with a shrug. “I wanted to go to Rome and study their ruins someday.” That wouldn’t happen anyway since I’d be dead if I got recalled.

he asked. Wait, would I be wrong if I say that this Mr. Ryso was also a royalty like me? I mean, human beings, just like immortals, would simply bow to others only if they were inferior in terms of ranks. I looked at Mr. Ryso and he simply gave me a side glance before returning his attention to the elderly man. “Yes. We will be at the dining hall so do not bother sending some maids in my room,” Mr. Ryso replied.

the emperor roared in frustration. I didn’t know what face to make in the face of his outburst and apparent distress. Admittingly, I found half of the matter quite funny and entertaining. I mean, I knew it was a big deal about the heir and all; however, I never knew that the emperor was so scared of his own mother. That was what I thought was funny about all this. “She’s always been like that. She’ll calm down soon enough…” Ren said without worry. “It’s been a long time since Lady Kamiya was promoted to Lady White Lotus…” the empress said with a thoughtful face.

After the said incident, he ascended to the throne and served the Eastern North as their emperor. The Emperor may have a cold nature but he has a soft spot for animals. He actually had a beloved animal companion which is a phoenix. It was given by the former King of Heaven as a welcome gift when he entered the legion. He has loved the creature so much and it is with him through every silent battle he has gone through. The phoenix itself was precious, having come from a race which is now extinct. The former king found him outstanding which made him give the phoenix to Alois.

Lady? "Rise," the emperor commands. I raise from deep curtsy. And I wish I could tell you the Emperor is a healthy-looking man. But he isn't. I know from my history class Emperor Titus dies young. The history books don't mention what he dies of. But the man in front of me is sickly. His skin is paper-thin, stretched against bone. His hair is graying, and he looks gray and tired. He's not much longer for this world.

“There is a Marcher League. There is a border dispute. There is a Lord Vale, of a minor house in the north of the country, who has, I understand, recently come into a considerable inheritance.” “And it doesn’t bother you?” “I find everything suspicious, Your Highness. It is my profession.” But nine million crowns does not trouble me nearly as much as a mutiny. There was a pause. The Emperor stared into the fire. His face looked very old in the red glow. His skin was pale and paper like and his eyes were sunken. He used to be the most handsome man in the Seven Provinces. He used to ride at the head of his army with dark hair blowing in the wind and a sword draw

He answered honestly, he was also curious why the emperor and queen's hearts suddenly became so emotional. "Hm..?" Everyone immediately looked displeased with the advisor's answer. They knew that among those present, if anyone understood the emperor and king's situation better, it was the advisor. Because the advisor himself was the emperor's adopted brother, who had played a crucial role as a general during the early days of the empire. And as the empire grew larger, he stood by the emperor's side as both an advisor and a trusted brother.

“Well, you see, I sort of run an empire around a large area with lots of men and women working for me and following my orders, so it is important I monitor my safety.” She tilted her head, a thousand questions crossing her face. “Does that make you a king?” “An emperor, but... yeah.” “What’s an emperor?” “An emperor is above the kings. The kings answer to the emperor, but there’s no one an emperor answers to.” She chuckled. “My uncle Matteo doesn’t look like he answers to anyone, so he’s an emperor, too

He nodded, his eyes filled with determination, “I understand your reservations. I can’t promise I’ll always be perfect. Especially when we’re back in DC. Many things about myself will never change. The way I practice law, the way I run my empire. Those are all absolutes in my life. But I want you at my side, ruling with me. I want you to be my Queen. Then, I can protect you and make sure you’re always taken care of." Lying side by side on our bed, the weight of our conversation hung heavily in the air. I couldn't shake the nagging doubts that festered in my mind. I knew Adrian's dark past all too well, and it was a shadow that cast a long and unsettling presence over our relationship. I watc
