The Empire’s Red Rose 9 【POV: Marquis Dagon】 Dyngir Maxwell… Picturing the name of the man who impregnated Rossellia Baal made me grimace and click my tongue. He was what caused the fall of two of Baal’s imperial princes, as well as the cause of the decline of my House of Dagon. The fact that he also turned out to be the father of the child of my current worst political enemy, Rossellia Baal, sounded almost like a prank of fate. (It was quite the stroke of luck to learn about the identity…

The Empire’s Red Rose 8 【POV: Marquis Dagon】 “Damn it! That fool of a woman…!” Drinking alone in my personal residence in the capital, I smashed my fists against the table.

The cause behind my current irritation was the woman who recently took the title of empress. Rossellia Baal…fourth child of the previous emperor, the sole princess among the imperial…

The Empire’s Red Rose 7 【POV: Rossellia Baal】 “Fwaah…no more…” One of my newest subordinates, Raine Halphas, was currently experiencing a dizzy spell right before my eyes. The hot water and heat in the bath had gotten to her head; my maids put a bathrobe on her and carried her to the sofa in my room. I wonder how she was going to react, once she realized she was in the Empress’ private quarters, where only select people were allowed entry? (She’s pretty, serious, with a touch of adorable…

The Empire’s Red Rose 2 “We shall now move to the next issue — the reconstruction of the regions most affected by the recent conflicts.” The female functionary turned to the next page in her stack of documents and read aloud, in a stiff tone. The newly presented topic was the restoration of the regions brought to their knees by the oppressive rule of the “False Emperor” Grett Baal. “The region around the capital, as well as the western and southern provinces, have suffered relatively minor…

Chapter 74 - The Final Conspiracy 【POV: Marianne Rosais】 Lamperouge Kingdom, residence of House Rosais. In a room located deep within the lavishly luxurious residence, to symbolize the prestige of our clan, there were two other people with me. One was my loved and respected father, Gray Rosais.

Chapter 73 - The End of The War — And the Greatest Defeat Several days after the bath time rumble and Mist’s tempting incursion, the time for me to depart from the western province had arrived. I wasn’t going back to the Maxwell province by horse, as Vert Sphinx had prepared a horse carriage for us. Thus, I was sitting in the luxuriously decorated vehicle, with Sakuya next to me and Nefertina on the seats across from us. The carriage was escorted by soldiers, among whom were the adventurers from the…

The Empire’s Red Rose 3 “I understand that the debate has not concluded yet…but I will announce my opinion.” “........!” The moment Rossellia opened her mouth, the atmosphere of the room changed completely. All she did was speak, yet her presence, her beauty alone, was enough to influence her surroundings. The young functionary too swallowed her breath; it was easy to imagine how the other men present would react. Even Sargue’s arrogant behavior subsided as he silently admired Rossellia’s…
