The Eternal Debauchery's

renting a room

Even though I said that I would make Dina emperor, actually doing it is harder than it sounds.

Currently, Dina no one supported him. Shit, most nobles would take the idea of a female emperor as a joke.

Maybe even my mother's family wouldn't support her if they knew our ambitions.

So, if I want to make my sister emperor, I have to start by giving her my own strength.

Noble is not a good place to start. As I said before, none of them will support a woman as emperor, at least, not before she shows that she has what it takes to become an emperor. But right now, my brother doesn't have any support, so no nobles agree to support him.

Of course, I can show them my strength and make them obediently use force, but as I said before, I don't want to do it. Moreover, Dina's government would not be as stable as that. If for some reason I have to leave, then Dina will lose all her authority.

Another option is the military, but there is the same problem. No general would agree to follow a princess just because I told them. Before big sister Dina showed enough ability, they would not agree to follow her.

So, my last choice was the commoners.

In contrast to the last two options, very few people paid attention to the commoners in terms of contesting for the throne.

Other than wealthy merchants and some powerful practitioners, commoners seemed insignificant in this kind of political fight. They had no money or connections that could support a prince. At most, they produced quite good cannon fodder.

But I think it's different.

As someone whose life reaches into the hundreds, I have seen the true power of the masses. When people come together for a purpose, they create an almost unstoppable force.

And the best part is that you don't have to do much to pull them to your side.You just need to show them some benefits and manipulate the information so they see you as a 'good person'.

Dressed in a robe and veil, I entered the capital.I then searched around to find a place to stay.I will continue to come to the city after tonight, so I need a place to stay regularly.

Soon, I found a beautiful two-story house. The house looked rather old, but well-maintained. Besides, it was quite close to the noble district, so it was useful for my plan.

Outside the house, there was a small sign announcing that they were renting a room.

I thought for a moment before approaching the house and knocking on the door.

"wait a minute!" A voice came from within. Shortly after, a beautiful twenty-year-old black-haired lady opened the door. "Yes?"

I put on a polite smile. “Good night, miss. I can't help but notice the sign outside. Is the room still available?”

The woman put on a look of shock. "The room? Ah, you asked about that. Just a minute." He then invited me in and closed the door.

Once inside, he went looking for someone. He was soon again accompanied by two others.

The first was a middle-aged woman, aged around thirty-five to forty years old. She had her blond hair neatly tied to the side and a gentle smile.

Beside him was a middle-aged man. He's about forty, maybe a little older. If I'm not wrong, they're husband and wife.

"Are you interested in the room?" The woman looked at me and asked. He was a little surprised when he saw my handsome features and unusual hair color, but he quickly hid his shock and replaced it with a gentle expression.

The middle-aged man, on the other hand, watched me with a frown. He narrowed his eyes when he saw my face, and when he saw my clothes, his eyes narrowed even more.

I nodded politely. “Name Clark. Are you still renting it?”

“Well, I arrived today in the capital and needed a place to stay.I will be staying in the capital for a while, and I cannot always stay in the inn. I think renting a room is better. ”

"Oh? May I ask where you are from? ”

"South." I replied without hesitation. “I am a martial artist, and someone invited me to the capital. Unfortunately, he did not offer me lodging.”

"A martial artist, huh?" The woman furrowed her brows. "May I ask about your strength."

"Above the sixth layer." I said with a smile. Instantly, the three people showed surprised expressions.

"L-Seventh layer !?" The woman stuttered. I held my smile and nodded.

The three people froze. For a while, none of them knew how to react.

However, the middle-aged woman quickly recovered her position. "really surprising. So young and so strong. Just for curiosity, is the young master a noble?”

Wow, such a quick change of attitude.

I pretended to smile wryly. “I first. My brother is the official heir, so I have to leave my house.”

The woman looked at me with pity in her eyes and smiled understandingly.

"So so. That explains the manners and appearance of the young master.”

The woman then asked me, aware of several other questions, from how long I would stay, to how much I paid. I answered all her questions calmly to reassure her doubts.

“Then can I stay?” i asked.

The woman was deep in thought.

At that moment, the middle-aged man looked at the woman with a frown. “Lluvia, I don't think it's right to bring strangers into our home. What if something happens?”

“We've talked about this, Peter. The room is not in use now and we are in desperate need of money. Besides, you and my son are imperial guards. I'm sure we'll be safe. No one was crazy enough to hurt the imperial guard family. ”

But the middle-aged man was stubborn. “I just disagree. What if he did something to our daughter or our daughter-in-law? you never know what a person like him would do.”

I frowned. Did this old man forget that I was still here?

The middle-aged woman seemed to realize my displeasure as she looked at her husband with an angry expression. "Shut up! Show respect to our guests! Moreover, we wouldn't be in this situation if you hadn't lost so much gambling money! If you don't want others to stay with us, then get the money we need!”

The man clicked his tongue and threw away his face. He was still not happy with the idea.

The woman, on the other hand, looked at me with an apologetic expression.

“I'm sorry about this, young master. Why don't you wait outside for a minute? I need to talk to my husband about something. Clarice, accompany him.”

I nodded and followed Clarice, a beautiful twenty-year-old woman, outside.
