I Will Surrender My Position As The Empress Novels & Stories

He said it with an air of regret, as if he had let go of something he shouldn’t have. “Exactly! Besides, it’s wrong to keep her in such a grey position. Instead, she should just be given the legitimate position of Empress.” Orlov scoffed. “You really plan on rebranding yourself as Emperor of the Westlands?” “I never go back on my word, Orlov, you know that best of all.” The two men were silent for a moment before Orlov stood. “It’s time to go to the banquet. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to keep your empress waiting.” Ivan grinned as he chased after Orlov.

He's watching me with the intensity of a scholar examining a fascinating text, and I find myself wondering what he sees when he looks at the woman I've become. I incline my head in acknowledgment of their deference, the gesture gracious but measured. It's enough to satisfy protocol without appearing overly grateful for basic respect. "Court is dismissed," I announce, rising from the throne with careful dignity. I descend the dais carefully, one hand gliding across the carved armrest for balance. My body aches. My mind hums with noise. I want to retreat to my private study, to collapse into the velvet chair by the window and pretend—just for an hour—that I'm not the Empress of Nochten. Just A

"You even scolded them, such a bad Master." "Hmm, the kingdom that caused the problem..." "Hands are tied. I let them "convince" me to not wipe them out. With everything going on and our defenses so low, I couldn't risk the loss. The Empire would be easy pickings with the all the injured." Soruda felt disgusted just saying it. "So much has happened that I am ready to give the Empress position up entirely. So much energy spent taking care of problems that my Realm sunk to such low levels."

I added. “Rhianna…please…please…I beg you. She's my daughter too.” “No, she's not. You can't be her father.” I said coldly. I turned towards the door, my feet rooted to a spot, “And one more thing. You will never be crowned Emperor, for I will watch you rot in jail.” I glanced over my shoulder. “I will ascend the throne as an Empress, and ensure that your name is being erased entirely.”I finished speaking, walking away without giving him a second glance.

In a seating area in the courtyard of Sangria Palace, James looked at the stunningly beautiful Xianna, who was dressed in gorgeous attire, and said, “Your Majesty…” The moment he spoke, Xianna waved her hand slightly and interrupted him, saying, “I’m no longer the Empress of Sangria. You are the Emperor of this kingdom.” James said, “Becoming the Emperor was only a temporary measure. I became the Emperor in order to break the seal of the Sword Pavilion and lift the curse on Sangria. Now that these tasks have been accomplished, I intend to leave.”

Every fear I had ever had was coming to life right in front of me and there was nothing I could do to stop it. *** I stood in front of the Wanix. Hopeless eyes stared back at me. “Um...fellow Wanix. It is uh with the heaviest of hearts that I stand before you right now. I am officially renouncing my title and stepping down as Empress of Gynem.” I was met with jeers and cries.

While Aster is the crowned Emperor, he is the people’s symbol of power and I have to convince him that the baby inside me is his until the time comes that he has no choice but to crown me as his Empress. And that is when I will take over the Empire and end his reign because it will be me and Emyr who should be doing this. Aster became too soft on the people of this realm and with Eodelle’s influence, it became hard for me to handle his decisions. That's why I came to the conclusion that I have no need for him once I officially became the Empress.

"Absolutely. The lion of jungpi is more than my name. I am cultivating an identity which is larger and I have to keep my head even when there is an opportunity to sink my teeth into." "There was a secret letter sent to me from the emporer asking for you. He could provide an exchange so that your double could be in your position while you are with his son. Never as empress, but just in the side courtyard. He offered me Wei." Yan Sha choked. "The transition of power is not yet certain, father. Certainly whatever you wish I am happy to--"

He looked utterly pitiful, but Winona didn't spare him a single glance. She only turned back to the empress and prostrated herself again, saying firmly, "Your Majesty, I beg you to give Gideon and me your blessing. I'm willing to donate all of my wealth and retire with him to live in seclusion." The empress let out a cold laugh. "Do you think my beloved general is some kind of object to be traded away at will?" Her voice dropped, becoming icy and sharp. "In your eyes, the only way to achieve merit is to cling to power, huh? You mistake your little corner of the world for the whole sky.

He slammed his fist on the table, making me jump. I feigned puzzlement, mirroring his expression. "I know, I was just as shocked when I discovered the truth. But think about it, Marquis. The empress's only claim to the throne is her ability to produce an heir without succumbing to the curse like so many before her. If word gets out that the curse is broken, she'll be stripped of her title and cast aside like a used rag." Marionette's eyes widened, her voice trembling with excitement. "That's right! The empire would never stand for it. Hazem Empire would be seen as cruel and unjust, allowing so many innocent brides to die in vain."
