The Third Empire Novels & Stories

“I don’t want them to win, but I do understand what they want. And I feel that longing in myself.” Her gaze turns inward, and I know that she is no longer seeing us in front of her. “Before Endymion died and Pan faded from the human world, trios were everywhere. We not only inspired mated trios, but those made by choice as well. It was a time of great prosperity and love. That was the reason that we created the trios in the first place. There were so many wolves and humans that were like us. Too much love for just two. Their souls were fractured, their hearts and minds needing the balance of a third.”

However, the next second, Vincent shot to his feet, a desperate fire igniting in his eyes. No. It's not over. As long as he lowered his pride, apologized properly, and reminded her of what they once had… She would forgive him. She had to. As he frantically began planning how to win her back, even imagining how he could use the Costa family's power to strengthen the Russo family in the future… The door burst open. His consigliere stumbled in, his face pale, his voice trembling with panic. "Don… something's happened! "Our northern arms line has been wiped out!"

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, and could be changed as a younger 'first born' came of age."

"Nonsense. We are husband and wife. What is there to thank me for?" As time went on, my belly swelled with life. Prince Carlson never left my side, even moving his court work into the residence. The ministers who had once mocked him as a eunuch now looked on, stunned and uneasy. "Your Highness, the imperial physicians warn that the twins may be premature." I stroked my high, rounded belly, worry flashing in my eyes as I looked at him. He immediately set aside his pen and strode to me, enveloping me in his arms.

What mattered was this: I hadn’t burned him. I hadn’t collapsed under him. I had built beyond him. And in the end— That was the real empire.

King Astius said. "Thank you for reminding me, your majesty." Ferlah stood up. "We are all aware of the incoming darkness and right now it was slowly crawling to every corner of the world. But even if you've agreed to listen to me, your majesty, I would still want your approval to trust me whatever happens, and in return, I will cooperate with you." "And what assurance do you have to make me approve your request?" "Your majesty, would you believe me if I say that I came from the past and I lived before the Great Battle Of The Three Realms happened?" Ferlah clutched both sides of her robe where her hands hanged near while nervousness was slowly consuming her.

I wonder how long it will take him to figure it out though? "Not really." Setsu shrugged and stopped his eyes on one of the tapestries. "That one is wrong. The reigning Empress at the time did not defeat the 12 Headed Hydra. She married him as her seventh husband to rebuild the empire from the battle involving the South Empire during that time. The descendants are currently the 19th Kingdom in the Empire. The strongest bloodline members are however no longer a part of the empire and kingdom." "Lies!" The Chancellor said. Setsu shrugged and continued looking around. Blatantly ignoring the man. "Of all the nerve."

“Wrong?!” "Ha ha ha! Of course! The Emperor might not be a good leader in Caihong. However, under the leadership of the Third Sovereign, that place would become even worse than Hell! The Third Sovereign had been eyeing Caihong for a long time, but we postponed the attack because our troops had not succeeded in uncovering the great project the Emperor was carrying out. It turns out that the Sanzu alliance has driven him away so easily, that means, Caihong is an easy target for us!”

Spencer was not able to distinguish if it was a mock or not. Emmette gazed at the overview of the Empire. Thrascias was so huge Emmette could not seem to see the end. It was a peaceful, magnificent empire that is the total opposite of Aparactias. If Thrascias is an Empire of Defense and land of peacemakers, Aparctias is an Empire of Offense where most of the forces were war-freak who only obeys the Ruler. Emmette released a stressful laugh. What iconic places to be ruled by one woman.

I introduced myself to her. "Are you the founder?" she asked me, tilting her to the side. "No, what made you think like that?" "Your last name is Harlow... The empire is called the Harlow empire," she replied. The imperial system started three hundred and fifty years ago, so her question was reasonable. The world had gone through many changes to reach the final established system. "Emperors have to give up their actual last name and use the last name of the actual founder which is also the name of the empire once they take that position," I explained to her. “I’m the third emperor of this empire.”
