Novel & Cerita Imperial Lord Is Too Popular

Chapter 30: The Shadow of the Spire The outer rings of the Eastern Imperial capital, known across the continent as the Obsidian Spire, did not resemble a standard settlement. The city was a geometric marvel of black basalt and polished white marble, built in three concentric, heavily fortified circles around a central mountain peak. For centuries, the Pureblood Dynasties had lived within these walls, insulated from the rest of the world, believing their wealth, their military sophistication, and their segregated lineages made them completely invincible.

His fingers reach for my hair, and I nearly recoil when a faint whiff of what I’m sure is Lila’s juice reaches me from his skin. “Even if you can’t fulfill your role as a wife,” he continues, twirling a strand of my hair around his finger while holding my gaze like we’re discussing something perfectly normal, “you’re still very useful when it comes to running Imperium.” A glare flashes across my face before I can stop it, and I slap his hand away. “So what? I’m not entertaining or good enough to be your wife, but I’m educated enough to be your cash cow?” I spit out.

Erick says. “I am sorry. I was running because I was upset, and now I have no idea where I am,” I say to him. “Why are you upset?” Erick asks, circling me. “They were asking me why I am here,” I answer him. “Why are you here? You should not be here. I can tell you are an imperial. Imperials are royalty and should serve no wolf,” Erick asks me. “I am here because of my father. He did not want me anymore. Gambling and money are more important to him than I am. I am not royalty. I am a no one important,” I say.

The leader asked with great interest. "Could it be related to the great battle in the Immortal Realm?" Caspian asked again. “Oh? It seems that you still know!” Seeing that Caspian also knew the cause and effect, the man talked non-stop, "The imperial court of the immortal land has been overturned by the war, but a brand new imperial court has not been established yet. Now there are many feudal princes in the immortal land. Everyone is fighting for resources and territory, so we need to capture the weak and bring them back to be slaves. Otherwise, there will be no one to be used."

the man said, too casually, "we didn't think the empress had such backing." Sebastian's eyes narrowed at them, "you don't dare look down on my wife." "She is a merely a pretty little servant to you, isn't it? It was a foolish thing to do to leave your precious empire to a female. Have you no pride?" "A wolf man has no right to tell a vampire lord what to do and what not to do." "Vampire lord," the man clapped his hands, amused, "what a title. We should nsme me werewolf lord, shouldn't we?" He turned to his followers and they laughed mockingly.

"When Lord Grantino could righteously bear it no more, the two friends slowly fell out. You see, Lord Grantino had the support of the council men while Lord Pablo had the support and love of the people." "So when their enmity became unbridled and clear to all, he was able to manipulate the situation, as the politician he was, and hold the position of utmost supremacy, becoming the first legal Emperor." Bianca ignorantly chattered on, enjoying the undivided attention she was getting. Astheria was an obscure Empire. However, there was no rivalling the power it had! The history of Astheria was so sacred to her citizens that not every foreigner had complete access to its knowledge.

“Can you let me go? I’m really not Agatha. He can’t see it, but you can. I look completely different from her, right?” “Master Lucius’s words are absolute.” Violet felt baffled when she heard this. “How could you...” Something clicked in her mind. “Are you guys a gang of human traffickers? The old man laughed. “Madam, did you forget what your husband’s family does for a living? Imperial Enterprises might operate in legal business and work with underground organizations, but we don’t break the law.” Imperial Enterprises? Wasn’t it the corporation that ranked first in the world in market value? It was also the one where its leader kept a low profile and practically never showed up, wasn’t it?

He shrugs his shoulders like he sees me as nothing. "Please do not call me little princess again!" I find that worse than these guys staring at my damn body and drooling. Little princes! Who the hell does he think he is? "Is my conception of you wrong? If it is, please just say, but we all knew your mother was the queen and didn't get her hands dirty, and we all know you will follow her steps." "Mr Lewis, your conception is very wrong and off. You used the power of my name for immunity recently yet have the guts not to pay?" I look at him, trying not to get into an argument over stupid things right now, like him seeing me as weak.

the Town ruler pleaded while on his knees. “Well…that’s unfortunate, but you see, no where in the terms does it state that it has to be the ruler’s daughter. The term just states that the most beautiful and talented virgin be sent to the Empire. Of course, you’re more than welcomed to send more than one if you want the Empire to favor your town more. After all, competition between towns for the favor of the main Empire is fierce,” Shin replied briskly but with a chilling smile. He knew well why the emperor had explicitly added this term, twisting the norm that existed before.
