Chapter 777: Chapter 401: Innate Female Sacred Body

The emperor’s words left Louis in a tumultuous state.

The good mood he initially had was now more than half gone.

Yet, it certainly gave Louis a cold sweat.

He simply didn’t expect the Ense Royal Family to be so resolute.

He had always thought before that the promotion channels in Ense weren’t that smooth.

At least on the surface, it wasn’t even as liberal as neighboring Tunisia.

After all, Tunisia directly promoted a commoner to the position of Prime Minister.

But now looking back, the operations of the empire were harsher than imagined, yet there was a sense of warmth.

As long as you are strong enough and can pass the probation, you can share power with the emperor.

No, perhaps it’s not just limited to that.

After mulling it over, Louis went to investigate the records of previous emperors in historical documents.

Without investigation, it was fine. But upon investigating, he was truly taken aback.

All previous emperors allowed their counterparts to enjoy power similar to theirs, and if the other party still felt it wasn’t enough, they might even pose a threat to the emperor.

The history of Ense is never short of instances where emperors die, but they all have a commonality—that before their deaths, they always left a successor for the royal family.

——At least theoretically, that’s how it’s supposed to be.

For instance, a typical example in history is the 16th emperor of Ense, who died early due to various reasons after marrying the imperial consort.

But the royal lineage wasn’t cut off because the 17th emperor, the younger brother of the 16th emperor, was supported by the imperial consort to ascend the throne, married her, and later fathered the 18th emperor.

One can only say that’s quite something.

Seen emperors who had short tenures, but never saw an emperor treated as a disposable.

There was even a case where a prince remarried wisely, and the empress did not act against him; they still treated each other with respect and even had children.

What could Louis say?

All he could say was "six," meaning amazing in Chinese slang.

Of course, if you really aren’t at all greedy for power, it’s fine too.

Other positions in the empire could also be kept for you.

The more he delved, the more chaotic Ense’s past seemed to him.

What innate Zhihu short essay sacred body!

I can’t stop laughing, my family.

Louis didn’t want to speak; he just wanted to say the inner circle was truly chaotic.

One can only say that the Ense Royal Family truly worked hard to maintain such a vast empire.

But...

Louis coughed lightly.

This terrible innate Zhihu short essay sacred body seemed to have room for manipulation!

Suddenly, a thought emerged in Louis’s mind that this situation seemed rather attractive to him.

Not to mention, if it were in Ense, maybe he really could give the little swans a title next to Beatrice.

If this were in other countries, the possibility would be almost zero!

However, Louis could also imagine how other countries would evaluate Ense then.

But it didn’t matter, as long as it didn’t reach his ears, it was fine.

What? You say it’s unreasonable?

Louis had to pull out a question someone asked on Zhihu before:

[How do foreigners view the fact that Rabbit is the only non-white nation in the Five Permanent Members?]

Someone replied below:

"How does one view Eagle as the only country in the Five Permanent Members without its own language?

How does one view Rooster as the only country in the Five Permanent Members that has surrendered?

How does one view John Bull as the only country in the Five Permanent Members acting as a son to its son?

How does one view Bear as the only country in the Five Permanent Members with an economy lower than the top ten?"

Every time Louis remembered the witty remarks of netizens, he couldn’t help but laugh each time, also having to admit that indeed people cannot fully understand each other.

Moreover, every country has its own dark history; if one must dwell on past mistakes, there’s nothing more to talk about.

Louis believed that since he respected other countries, it should be no problem for them to respect him in return.

For example, when he becomes the only designated son-in-law of the Ense Royal Family in the future, outsiders saying a few idle words about Beatrice and Olivia, or even possibly returning Black Swan, should be fine, right?

Upon thinking about this, his earlier irritation vanished without a trace.

Those who can’t adapt find the system repugnant, but smart people utilize the system.

This time, he won.

Of course, he also set himself a small goal.

Like during Demon King Helmer’s reign of terror, he’d demonstrate to everyone what ’an unparalleled genius’ truly means.

The emperor’s prestige isn’t built by words; it’s established through battles.

Everyone knows the emperor is sometimes overly domineering in handling matters, but those demigods only dare to gossip privately; never have they openly rallied against the emperor.

Even legends dare not tread into the territories demarcated by the emperor.

——Sean and Fafnir, the couple, know this well.

Louis once took advantage of when the emperor was lucid to inquire about this matter.

The emperor then expressed: "Isn’t it normal to threaten enemies not to cross the line after defeating them? As long as you don’t overdo it, there’s no point in bothering with them."

Apparently, it meant that the emperor didn’t care if the couple Sean and Fafnir went to retrieve the Dragon King’s remains.

On the contrary, causing trouble like the Sapphire Dragon disaster increases the likelihood of getting killed.

Oh right, how was the Sapphire Dragon disaster resolved?

It was said that Ense organized a group of legendary masters to decapitate it.

Damn.

One can only say Sean, Fafnir, and their generation are truly fortunate.

The next thing to arrange is the matter with the Lokeshi Empire.

Although the emperor didn’t clarify, he indicated his stance.
