The Eternal Debauchery's

crown prince and empress

As the empress of the greatest human kingdom, Lilia Riea's room was extremely luxurious. Filled with the most expensive decorations in the world, with clothes so precious that an ordinary family can live a luxurious life just from selling clothes, and beautiful servants chosen to serve the empress faithfully.

But the tranquility of this beautiful room was interrupted by the entrance of a young man.

"Mother, something wrong happened." Crown Prince Alan said as soon as he entered his mother's room.

“Why so serious, my son. Come here, it's been a long time since you last visited me.” A carefree voice answered from behind the curtain.

"Now is not the time for that, mother." Alan shook his head with a grim expression and walked towards his mother, only stopping when he reached the curtain. "It concerns my ascension to the throne."

Empress Lilia frowned. The next second, he clapped once.

Instantly, all the female servants except the two young ladies left the room and closed the door. The empress then sat on the bed and removed the curtains, before activating the magic spell to make the room soundproof and avoid their conversation being heard.

Finally, he looked at his eldest son and opened his lips.

“Speak.”

The prince looked at his mother for a moment before seeing the two maids behind him. Understanding his point, the empress waved her hand. "Don't worry, they can be trusted."

The prince frowned, but knowing that the two of them were his mother's confidants, he stopped hesitating.

"I tried to kill Claus today."

"… Did it fail?"

"Yes. (Fig) has not returned, but my brother is back in the palace. ”

"Explain that to me." The Empress ordered with a cold face. Prince Alan hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell her the truth. In her mother's way, she was confident she could learn about the details.

When the prince finished recounting the event, the empress fell silent.

Second next-second

"PLAAK!" With an angry expression, the empress slapped her son's cheek and shouted. “What are you thinking!? Do you even understand the consequences of your actions !? ”

“But Mom, I think the plan is very easy. No one will know anything! ”

“Do you think everyone is an idiot !? Even if you succeed and kill the four of them, an old fox like my brother will instantly suspect you! Next, one of them is your sister! Are you going to kill your sister too!?”

Prince silent. Different from his mother, he did not mind any sacrifice if he could obtain the throne. Even her mother and father were nothing more than tools she could use.

Moreover, he considers the words of his mother as hypocrisy. After all, he was the one who wanted to kill his two half-brothers more than anyone. Are Claus and Dina not his siblings, either? But even so, he taught her not to be merciful towards them.

For her, the only difference between Claus and Lena is that one of them shares more blood with her.

But even though she knew her mother would react this way, she needed her help now.

Seeing her son silent, the empress calmed down immediately. He closed his eyes for a moment before giving an order to one of the servants behind him.

“Lotus, investigate if something happened to my daughter and that little bastard today. Also, observe Lena closely. He's a very bad liar. If he had a murder today, his face would reveal something.”

"Understood." The waiter nodded respectfully and left the room.

"mother?"

"i'm sure."

“... Then it means they were killed secretly, without telling anyone. If my suspicions are correct, not even Lena knows that she is the target of the murder.”

"You mean…"

“It seems like the power behind your little brother is not as simple as we thought. I already felt strange when I heard about his master, but now I confirm it.

“My son, you have a Transcendent who takes care of you, but even he does not pay attention to anyone protecting that little bastard, and even so, those assassins died secretly. For such a thing to happen, the implications are dire.”.

A deep wrinkle appeared on the empress' face. Lately, she felt that things were out of her control, and she did not like that feeling.

“No, we have to dispose of that little bastard as quickly as possible! If things continue like this, he will become a real threat to you! Son, do you have an idea? ”

Alan thought for a moment. Quickly, a flash of insight appeared in his mind “... Within a month, the institute will realize the first expedition of the year. It will be in the woods one week from the capital. The place will be perfect and we can eliminate all suspicions easily.”

"Perfect!" The Empress nodded with a dark smile. “I'll make preparations then. That little bastard won't last this time. ”

At that moment, he looked at the servant beside him and frowned slightly.

"Hope, you look a little pale, is something wrong?"

“T-Nothing, Your Grace. I just feel a little unwell.”

“Is that?” The empress put on a slightly suspicious expression, but in the next second, she shook her head and laughed at him.

After all, Hope had been her most trusted confidant for many years. In fact, she trusted Hope more than her own son.

hope would never betray him.

…

In another room in the palace, the emperor overheard the empress' conversation with her son.

When the conversation ended, an old man appeared behind the emperor.

"Your Majesty, your orders."

Emperor remained silent. For a moment, an expression of pain and self-hatred appeared in his eyes.

But in the next second, the pain was replaced by an obsessive hatred.

“... Make sure the plan is successful.” Emperor says.

The old man looked at the emperor and sighed. A second later, he nodded. "i understand."

In the end, the emperor's orders were absolute.

Even if the old man was from 'that place', and 'that place' had the power to stop the emperor, fighting the emperor for the sake of a prince was a foolish act.

Even if the prince was extremely talented, even if a strong power was behind him.

After all, there was no power in this world that was stronger than the empire.
