āKaisar-sama, about forty of our members are in their monestrous today.ā
āF-fortyā¦ā
It is unusual to hear this number of people from Sarah, who finally changed from her self-appointed to the official title of First Slave because of her achievements, thought that āthere arenāt many todayā, which would be abnormal to others.
To begin with, many, including the dark elves, tend to go on heat during the full moon, so that day became h**l on earth.
Still, these days, the number of pregnant ladies is gradually increasing, and the number of things to do is decreasing, so it is much easier to do it.
I would have definitely dried up if I hadnāt learned recovery magic.
Itās not a drink. Itās just meat, meat, meat.
Thinking about that, I remembered that day four years ago when this happened.
At first, I thought I would do something about it within those three years, but by the time I realized the outer moat got completely filled in those years, it was already too late.
And since it was my slaves who filled the outer moat, I feel like Iāve been stabbed in the back by the very people I thought were my friends.
I was so surprised that I almost said, āBrutus, you too?ā
However, after listening to the story, it turned out that the slaves were acting on my behalf, and for better or worse, their loyalty was just too high for me to push away.
I guess this is more my fault for not noticing it even though I was so close to them.
Itās really pathetic that you canāt even manage your slaves.
I mean, whatās with the Kingdom as a gift? This is the kind of thing I canāt let continue.
I couldnāt say it even if I wanted to.
Rather, it means that when I was engaged to Princess Claude, all escape routes had already been blocked by the slaves.
And just like that, I got Kingdom and Empire in one pieceāI would say no if I couldā. I didnāt want it. I just wanted to live a slow lifeā¦
Of course, it may be that they were frightened of my slaves, but my marriage partner is Princess Claude, a member of the royal family, and I am, after all, a member of a ducal family, so I have some royal blood running through my veins.
Above all, the most significant part was His Majesty the Emperor declaring his retirement during those circumstances and His Highness Prince Douglas renouncing his right of succession to the throne.
It is only natural that I, a distant relative of the royal family who was marrying Princess Claude, should be given the white feather.
In fact, it was so well done that it would be impossible to pull this off without setting it up behind the scenes. In order to find out who drew up this plot, I tried asking the slaves for āthe right to hug me for a minute if you tell me the truth.ā
The first one, Sarah, the self-proclaimed first slave, told me all about it.
