So I'm a sheep.

"Don't think you can get away with this like you did today!"

"Clark, you know my strength very well."

"If you really want to keep a close watch on me, only you and Saliye can do it."

Olena smiled and said, "As long as you find a way to distract Sally and make up some excuse that I can't show my face for a long time, I will definitely be able to get things done for you."

"Easier said than done!"

Is it difficult?

Seeing that Clark remained silent, Orina sighed and said, "Now that things have come to this, I think Your Majesty should be able to make up your mind, right?"

“If we don’t hold Sally back, we’ll be tied down and won’t be able to do anything.”

"Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly!"

"..."

"Sometimes I wonder, did you single-handedly create this situation?"

"Why are you blaming me?"

The succubus said innocently, "If Sariel hadn't been so aggressive, would we be in such a passive position?"

"Besides, we're business partners, why would I..."

“Saliye told me that none of the kings who had worked with succubi had ever had a good ending.”

Clark gave Orina a strange smile: "Tell me, is this true?"

That's right.

The succubus calmly replied, "But do you think becoming a demon is a 'good ending' in the eyes of angels?"

"Your Majesty, what you are pursuing is a 'bad ending'. Those who cooperate with demons never have a good end, so you are bound to succeed!"

"Hehe, you're quite the smooth talker..."

Emperor Arcane breathed a sigh of relief; at this point, he really had no other choice.

"I understand. Go ahead and relax. I'll help you distract Sally."

......................................................

"My lord, Her Highness the Princess has sent an invitation."

"Alyssa Gaunt?"

"Yes, this is His Highness."

"Great, she finally wants to make contact with us!"

The little girl looked delighted as she received the invitation.

While reviewing information about Clark, Sasha noticed this powerful princess who was at odds with her father.

Emperor Clark of Aufa and his deceased queen had three children: one daughter and two sons.

The two princes were of average talent and have now both died of old age, thus losing their chance at the throne.

Only Princess Alyssa Gaunt, who inherited her father's extraordinary talent, became an arcanist at a young age and remains active in the public eye today.

Princess Elisa had a very bad relationship with her father since childhood. After her birth mother passed away, she resolutely left the court and ventured out on her own.

"We didn't say anything to her for the first few years. After all, she was a princess who had never had to worry about food or clothing, and it was normal for her to make some mistakes when she suddenly had to fend for herself."

But ever since she joined the army and participated in the counterattack against the dungeon lord, her life has been like a dream come true.

'Superiors and comrades have died one after another in the underworld, but this princess has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, and a total of six underworld lords have fallen at her hands.'

"She rose through the ranks to become Grand Marshal of the Western Front. It was assumed the princess would continue her career in the army, but when the emperor deemed the counterattack successful enough and ordered the troops to withdraw from underground, she simply walked away."

After leaving the army, Alyssa traveled the continent as an adventurer.

'Searching for lost treasure, resolving the crisis in the floating city and being elected its lord, joining the Arcane Council at the invitation of the Empire's Chief Arcane Mage...'

Princess Elisa is powerful and prestigious; most importantly, she is extremely dissatisfied with Olena, her "favored concubine."

Sasa had long wanted to contact the princess to deal with Orina, but if she made the suggestion rashly, the princess might become hesitant.

Therefore, the little girl waited, firmly believing that when the 'rumor' that Olina was a succubus became known throughout the world, the princess would come to her.

Sure enough, Princess Elisa didn't have to wait long before she sent out invitations.

I hope everyone can cooperate sincerely.

..............................................

"That old man is blinded by lust; he's no longer qualified to lead the empire!"

Upon meeting, Princess Elisa made some shocking remarks.

"Uh"

The little girl blinked. Although she knew that this princess was straightforward, this was still too much...

"The Arcane Empire cannot be led by an emperor bewitched by a succubus; it would be a catastrophe for the people, the church, and the arcane mages."

"Your Excellency Saliye, we are natural allies."

"Although it's our first meeting, I don't want to beat around the bush before getting to the point."

After Alyssa finished speaking, she extended her hand to the little girl: "Would you like to help me?"

"..."

Well, being direct is better; it saves everyone time and effort.

"Your Highness, we should help each other."

The little girl smiled and reached out her hand to shake hands firmly with Alyssa.

"Princess Elisa, do you wish to inherit the throne?"

"Yes, but this is the ultimate goal."

"The thing I want to do most right now is to send that succubus who just popped up out of nowhere to the guillotine!"

Volume 1: Chapter 261 The Emperor Who Transcends the World

Princess Elisa had a very deep bond with her birth mother, so she probably couldn't accept Clark's decision to "find a new love."

“Saliye, I have some information to share with you.”

Elisa naturally dropped the word 'Your Excellency' and said in a serious tone, "Olina is not alone in the Empire. Besides the Emperor, she has a very important figure supporting her in secret."

"To deal with Orina, we must first eliminate Princess Vivian!"

"You mean she has a princess supporting her? But His Majesty Clark only has one daughter, you." The little girl asked doubtfully.

"Although Vivian is not the emperor's daughter, she does have the title of princess."

"Oh?"

"This is a long story, let's sit down and talk about it slowly."

Alyssa poured the little girl a cup of grapefruit tea and said leisurely, "If we trace it back to the source, Princess Vivian's lineage is the legitimate one, while our family is the 'usurper'."

"Huh, this kind of information isn't in the church's records at all."

Seeing Sasha's surprised expression, Alyssa smiled and said, "The angels only descended upon this world during the reign of the fourth Arcane Emperor. The Church naturally doesn't know the secrets of those earlier times."

"..."

The little girl held her teacup, striking a pose as if she were listening attentively.

"The first Arcane Emperor created a glorious Arcane Empire. Before leaving this world, he passed the throne to his eldest son."

"However, the eldest son was mediocre, while the third prince at the time was exceptionally talented and ambitious."

"The day before his elder brother ascended the throne, the third prince resolutely launched a rebellion."

"This war that swept across the continent lasted for more than seventy years before it came to an end. My ancestor, the second Arcane Emperor, did not win completely."

Alyssa sighed: "Although I inherited the throne, it was the result of a compromise between the two sides."

"During the long civil war, the dungeon lords have been itching to make their move."

"Towards the end of the war, the city lords launched a large-scale war of invasion on the surface."

"The Crown Prince voluntarily relinquished the throne. In return, my ancestors did not harm the Crown Prince's supporters and promised that his descendants would also have the right to inherit the empire."

.................................................. .....

"If both sides have the right of inheritance, has Princess Vivian's lineage never won even once?"

The Truth Cult was not a small organization from its inception, yet there was absolutely no intelligence about such a major event.

'The only possibility is that successive Arcane Emperors tacitly suppressed this matter.'

With a smile, the princess proudly declared, "My ancestors have always surpassed Vivian's ancestors. History has proven that the first emperor made a mistake; he should have chosen his most outstanding child as the successor to the empire!"

"..."

"I have a question."

"Please speak."

"How come someone with Vivian's background can still become a 'heavyweight' in the empire?"

After being suppressed by six generations of emperors, Vivian's lineage should have died out long ago.

It is truly incredible that she can still wield power and become a figure of real authority in the Arcane Empire.

"Of course, it's because of the legacy of the first emperor."

Alyssa said with a complicated expression, "Although he only reigned for ninety years, the achievements of the first Arcane Emperor are unmatched by the combined achievements of the subsequent emperors."

He founded the great Arcane Empire.

He perfected the arcane mage training system.

He made forty-seven cities fly into the sky.

He signed a non-aggression pact with the lords of the underground cities.
