Lords go left, Emperors go right

The Lord is on the Left, the Emperor is on the Right Author: Diligence is the only way to salvation

Summary:

Do you want to be a lord of a region or a famous emperor? This is a question that only children make. Adults know that it is impossible to have both. Of course, there are some exceptions. People cannot be generalized. After all, some people are born to be Romans, and some people are born to be cattle and horses.

Imperial Envoy: Your Highness Aosta, His Majesty asked me to bring you a message. The throne has always been reserved for you. As long as you are willing to return, the throne...

Osta: No need. Even if I become a lord here until I grow old and die outside, I will never go back to inherit the throne!

Imperial Envoy: Your Highness Aosta, the Queen also wants you to go back and visit when you are free.

Osta: What! Mother said that. Why didn't you tell us earlier? When are we leaving?

Imperial Envoy: .... (This...is too difficult for me)

Chapter 1 The Prince and His Maid

In the central area of ​​Mesfilta Continent, the capital of the Obelisk Empire, the depths of the Royal Palace of Onisret City, the palace of Queen Margaret III, in a luxurious palace in the center of the "Emerald Palace". The third prince of the empire, Osta, was sleeping in. Compared with other princes, this guy was quite lazy, never getting up early, giving people a very lazy impression.

Originally, every prince of the empire had his own palace, but Queen Margaret III particularly doted on the third prince, Aosta, and was particularly fond of this biological prince, so she took him to live in her own palace.

Prince Aosta accepted this arrangement very naturally. In terms of luxury and conditions, the palaces of those imperial princes could not compare with the "Emerald Palace" of his biological mother, Queen Margherita III. Therefore, Prince Aosta has lived there for more than ten years, from the time he was born to now, a full eighteen years, and he has no intention of leaving.

"Lord Osta, wake up, get up. If you don't get up now, you will be late for breakfast, and it's almost cold."

"Chris, stop shaking. I'll get up right away. If you miss breakfast, you can still have lunch. Then you can count breakfast and lunch together."

"That won't do, Lord Aosta. Her Highness Margaret has told you to eat both breakfast and lunch. Get up quickly!"

"Okay, I'll get up right now."

Prince Aosta was awakened early in the morning. He was shaken so hard that he had no choice but to climb out of his warm bed.

Beside Prince Aosta's bed was an exceptionally beautiful silver-haired girl. The silver-haired girl was extremely beautiful, almost surpassing the limit of the human race, and had reached the standard of beauty causing trouble. Her snow-white skin, like white marble, exuded a charming luster under the light.

The silver-haired beauty looked like a goddess who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world. She shouldn't be here at all.

The silver-haired girl had a gentle smile on her pretty face, and her pair of silver eyes were full of infatuation. She only showed this seductive look in front of Prince Osta. If outsiders wanted to see it, it would be an unattainable luxury.

She had almost no expression in front of outsiders. The gentle side of this beautiful girl with unparalleled beauty only appeared when she was facing Prince Aosta.

Prince Osta looked at Chris, who was wearing silver-white mithril armor, and had no choice but to get up as she requested. Chris's facial features seemed like carefully carved works of art, without a single flaw. Even with Prince Osta's experience of seeing countless beauties over the past decade, he could not find a few beauties who could rival Chris, except for those two special girls.

Chris is Prince Osta's exclusive maid and personal guard, and has been with Prince Osta for twelve years. When Prince Osta was six years old, Chris, who was still a little girl and looked the same age as the prince, mysteriously appeared in the palace and pestered Prince Osta to be his maid and guard.

At that time, Chris, who was still a little girl, defeated all the masters of the Obelisk Empire Palace by herself. That fighting power was unbelievable to Emperor Augustus VIII, who was shocked after seeing it. Although the emperor repeatedly recruited Chris, wanting her to work in the army and train her to become a future female general of the empire, and even possible to obtain the title of Valkyrie.

However, Chris rejected the emperor's invitation and insisted on her original intention of becoming Prince Aosta's exclusive maid and personal guard. It is hard to imagine why this six-year-old girl would insist on this reason and be so persistent in not changing it.

Finally, Emperor Augustus VIII had no choice but Queen Margaret III personally stepped in to take power and coordinate, and Chris got her wish and became the exclusive maid and personal guard of the third prince Aosta. At that time, the other princes were envious of this, but they did not dare to say anything because of the majesty and power of Queen Margaret III. Everyone knew that Aosta was the only son of the queen, and the other princes were not.

Others may not know the reason, but Prince Aosta himself knows it, but he has never said it out loud. In fact, the current Prince Aosta is not the real Prince Aosta, and he is no longer himself.

When the prince was six years old and just beginning to understand things, he went out for a trip one day and when he came back he had a mysterious fever and was bedridden for several days. Queen Margherita III invited countless famous doctors, but in the end none of them could cure Prince Aosta's strange illness. Prince Aosta was in a coma for several months before waking up.

Since then, Prince Osta is no longer the original Prince Osta. The real Prince Osta had died during the coma, and his soul dissipated. The current Prince Osta is the soul of a time traveler who died suddenly after working overtime and staying up late to "cultivate immortals" on Earth.

After all, he had read a lot of time-travel-themed online novels on Earth. The newborn Prince Osta quickly accepted the reality because he was a stay-at-home in his previous life before the time travel. After the time travel, this habit did not change. Later, there were negative rumors about the third prince being lazy, but Osta himself did not care.

As for Chris, Osta was certain that she was not a pure human. This was a different world, and there were many other alien races besides humans. One could not judge that a person was human just because they looked like humans or had human appearance.

Based on the vague memories left by the original owner, Osta vaguely remembered that when Prince Osta was about five years old, which was a few months before his death, the prince was playing outdoors by the lake and picked up a wounded silver dragon by an unnamed lake. He took care of the dragon for several months and waited for the dragon to recover from its injuries before letting it go. The dragon was reluctant to leave at the time.

Not long after the young dragon left, Prince Osta was in danger and fell into a coma. Not long after he woke up, the mysterious beautiful girl Chris came to him. There was a certain connection between the two, which was certain. Prince Osta could not determine whether Chris was the incarnation of the silver dragon. So far, these were just his own subjective speculations, without any actual evidence.

Because he was not sure whether Chris was a human or an alien, even though he had a beautiful girl with silver hair and silver eyes who obeyed his orders for so many years, Osta had no evil thoughts about Chris. After all, he didn't know her background. Even if Chris's love for him was not concealed, Osta could only choose to ignore it for the time being.

Chris initially addressed Prince Osta as "Master". Osta was worried that this title would be ambiguous and cause misunderstandings among outsiders. Therefore, after his repeated insistence, Chris reluctantly changed her words and addressed him as "Sir".

However, Chris refused to follow the tradition of addressing Aosta as His Royal Highness. Princes are usually addressed as such, but Chris was unwilling to use that title for some reason. She would address the Empress of the Empire, Aosta's mother, Queen Margaret III, as Her Royal Highness.

"Lord Osta, what are you thinking about? Go and have breakfast quickly. You have to report to the palace later. The herald has just come here. His Majesty has issued an imperial decree requiring all princes to attend the morning court on time. If you fail to show up, you will be punished!"

"Chris, I understand. This is very important and I won't forget it."

Chris saw Prince Osta in a daze, looking at the floor-length mirror in front of him. She couldn't help but remind him that Osta was thinking about other things before and happened to be standing in front of the mirror, which made Chris think that he was distracted.

Prince Osta is 173cm tall, with short black hair and black pupils. He is handsome. After all, he has royal blood, which gives people a smooth and cunning feeling.

His exclusive maid and personal bodyguard, the silver-haired and silver-eyed beautiful girl Chris, is 169cm tall, with a pair of breasts about the size of a C. She is a lot shorter than Osta, and usually behaves like a standard three-no beauty, with no expression in front of outsiders. This beautiful girl with a simple personality only reveals a particularly warm smile when she is alone with Prince Osta.

Chris's sweet and gentle voice and the touch of her slender jade fingers finally brought Aosta's attention back here. Aosta didn't want to go to the summons of Emperor Augustus VIII. However, he had no legitimate reason to disobey the order.

Osta himself doesn't have much good feelings towards this "cheap dad" he "picked up" after traveling to another world. In his impression, Emperor Augustus VIII of the Empire is a very strict father who demands a lot from his son.

Among the many princes in the royal family of the Obelisk Empire, only Aosta himself was an exception. Thanks to the doting of Queen Margaret III, he was not subjected to the strict discipline of Emperor Augustus VIII like other princes.

Except for the third prince, Aosta, the other princes received all kinds of education. If they made a mistake, they would be punished mercilessly without mercy. The princes were generally afraid of the emperor Augustus VIII. They dared not speak when they saw the emperor and walked with their heads down. Only Aosta did not care.

Needless to say, the emperor's summons was definitely not a good thing. Although Prince Aosta lived in the "Emerald Palace" of Queen Margaret III all year round, he was not completely ignorant of what was happening outside.

The Obelisk Empire has been at war for many years and has conquered many new territories in the neutral continent. In order to temper the will of his sons and test their abilities, Emperor Augustus VIII plans to arrange for the princes to go out to various parts of the neutral continent, grant them a piece of territory as lord, and assess their management ability so that he can use their specific performance and political achievements in the territory as a reference to decide what positions to assign to them.

Unlike other princes, Osta did not have such a strong desire and obsession for power. He just wanted to live a peaceful life. The sudden fever he had many years ago was not an accident. It was someone who had deliberately poisoned him, but it was not discovered because of his clever means.

After traveling through time and space, Osta received some memory fragments of his former master and was very clear about the matter. He just didn't want to investigate it in depth, for fear of being drawn into the boring vortex of political infighting.

Ever since Chris came to serve as Osta's exclusive maid and personal bodyguard, all assassination attempts on Prince Osta have been thwarted. Chris is almost invincible. No matter what means the opponent uses, she will ruthlessly see through them and then destroy them.

As time went by, no one dared to ask about Prince Aosta's affairs. Moreover, Prince Aosta later behaved like a typical dandy boy, without the appearance of an emperor, which made the hostile political forces who were dissatisfied with him relax their vigilance.

"By the way, Lord Aosta, Her Highness Margaret has also sent her maid to pass on a message, asking you to go to her place to pay your respects first, and then go to the morning court."

"It's still my mother...it's still the Queen Mother who thinks things through. It looks like I have to trouble the Queen Mother this time to see if she can help me reject the arrangement of the Emperor Father."

"Lord Osta, I think you should not have too high expectations. Her Highness Margaret also hopes that you can have an independent side."

"Chris, do you also want me to succeed?"

"Lord Osta, no matter what decision you make or what happens in the future, I will always stand by your side. This is unchangeable."

Chapter 2 An Unavoidable Task

The capital of the Obelisk Empire, Onysret, has a palace that occupies almost half of the city's area, and the imperial power has reached an unprecedented height. The palace is mainly divided into two parts. The "Emerald Palace", the palace of Queen Margaret III, occupies half of the palace, and is evenly divided with the "Sun Palace", the palace of Emperor Augustus VIII, dividing the area of ​​the palace by half.

In the political system of the Obelisk Empire, anyone who knows a little bit of the inside story knows that the power of the empire is not only enjoyed by Emperor Augustus VIII, but that Queen Margarita III also has equal power to challenge her husband.

The aristocratic forces in the imperial city are roughly divided into three factions: the Emperor's faction headed by Emperor Augustus VIII, the Empress' faction headed by Queen Margaret III, and the Native faction in the middle. The Native faction is the original force of the Obelisk Empire. The current Emperor Augustus VIII and Queen Margaret III are both outsiders in the final analysis, tracing their roots.

After Prince Aosta changed into a gorgeous dress, he hastily finished his breakfast with his maid Chris, and then went with the maid to the "Emerald Palace" of Queen Margaret III for an audience. Aosta was already familiar with the Emerald Palace. He had lived in this palace for more than ten years and was already very familiar with it.

The guards and maids in the Emerald Palace basically all knew Prince Aosta. After seeing the third prince, they all saluted him respectfully. As the only son of Queen Margaret III, the queen was very protective of him. In the Emerald Palace, Prince Aosta was almost the second most powerful person, second only to Queen Margaret III, and he could walk sideways at will.

However, the current Prince Osta was replaced by a time traveler and is no longer the original prince. Therefore, he did not become self-inflated in this special environment that could easily lead to depravity.

"Mother, you're looking for me?"

"Well, you stay in the palace all day long, and never go out to walk around and get some sun. I thought you were kissing and cuddling with Chris every day. I asked Chris several times, and she said you didn't have any thoughts in that direction."

"Mother, I'm not here to stay in the palace with you! Father is too busy dealing with government affairs and has no time to accompany you."

"You're the only one who talks sweetly. Don't mention your father. He's basically never been here. Come here, Chris. You too, don't have to stand."

In the main palace of the Emerald Palace, Prince Aosta met his biggest supporter in the palace, Queen Margaret III. Margaret III did not look old at all, and was obviously a beautiful lady with a lingering charm. She had pure golden hair that was tied up, and a pair of beautiful eyes like emeralds.

The Empress Margaret III originally had standard shoulder-length hair that reached the waist area behind her. After putting it up, her whole style changed, as if she had added a space to make her look smart and capable with short hair. The Empress had a hot and plump figure, belonging to the voluptuous type. The pair of peaks on her chest gave people a heavy visual feeling. The height size was obviously around D grade. She had a special aura that only mature ladies had, which was incomparable to the inexperienced girls like Chris.

Although Chris beats Queen Margaret III in terms of appearance, if men are asked to choose a partner to spend the night with, nine out of ten times they will choose a mature and beautiful lady like Margaret III. Whether in terms of skills or feelings, an undeveloped young girl like Chris cannot compare to her.

Ever since Prince Aosta traveled through time and took over the body, he has never understood Emperor Augustus VIII. He felt that his father was not capable in that aspect, otherwise, there was no reason for him to ignore such a beautiful wife. Except for the wedding night, he has not visited Queen Margaret III for so many years. The relationship between the two sides has always been respectful, without even a hint of overstepping the line.

Of course, this is just Aosta's own subjective speculation, and it is actually not tenable at all. If Emperor Augustus VIII was not capable of impotence, there would not be so many princes and princesses in the current imperial royal family, unless the crown worn by the emperor was green.

Queen Margaret III has not complained about Emperor Augustus VIII for many years, nor has she committed any unfaithful acts. She has a majestic aura of a queen. If she had not married Emperor Augustus VIII, Margaret III could have become an independent empress. She is a super woman with the talent to become an empress.

Margaret III wore a snow-white gorgeous palace dress. When she met people, her expression and aura were strong and domineering. Only in front of her son, Prince Aosta, would Margaret III's eyes reveal a warmth that was rarely seen in normal times, and her face showed all the gentleness that she usually had. She could never be strict with her only son. Even if people outside secretly said that she was protecting her, Margaret III didn't care, and she still did her own thing.

Prince Aosta always played the role of a good kid in front of Queen Margaret III. Queen Margaret III was tall, 172cm tall, just a little shorter than Prince Aosta. At her invitation, Aosta and Chris came to sit at the Queen's table, which was already filled with a variety of delicious dishes, as well as various cakes, snacks and pastries.

"Mother, can you help me get some leniency with my father's invitation to the palace?"

"You bad boy, you want me to help you get out of this again? No, this time is different from the previous expeditions and expeditions. It is a tradition of the empire to give the princes trials to serve as lords when they go out. Even your grandpa and grandma have the same idea as me. I hope you can temper yourself through the test."

"Is it really impossible? Mother, if I go out, there will be no one to accompany you!"

"No... No, you're grown up now, you should learn to be independent. Besides, if you don't have any political achievements, when your fiancées come over in a month or so, they will look down on you during blind dates."

Queen Margaret III hesitated for a moment, but finally made the decision. Prince Aosta felt very disappointed. This trick had always worked in the past. Queen Margaret III would basically not refuse her son's requests, no matter how willful and rude the request was. As long as it was within her ability, she would try her best to satisfy it.

If it doesn't work now, then it's really over. To be honest, Aosta was very unwilling to take on the trial task given by Emperor Augustus VIII. Unlike his brothers, after hearing that there were fiefs to be obtained, these princes' eyes lit up and they were all rubbing their hands, ready to perform well so that their father would look at them with admiration and improve their personal evaluation.

Osta did not have such lofty ambitions. Before he traveled through time, he was just a typical otaku. He never thought that one day he would be like the protagonists in online novels, going on adventures, defeating the devil and becoming a savior, and having ideals and missions like that.

The Central Continent, also known as the Sudimanster Continent, is known as a continent rich in resources, but there is no country there so far. It is an extremely chaotic and unowned land. If you are a lord there, you will encounter various dangers if you are not careful. It is considered an extremely high-risk area.

When Prince Osta was still a minor, he had three fiancées since he was young. They were all princesses from other continents. Although it was a political marriage, they were definitely beautiful girls. Their looks were guaranteed. They might not be as beautiful as Chris, who was beyond the average level of human beauty, but she was definitely much more beautiful than the average human.

Because of his complicated background and special identity, Osta's fiancées, whom he had never met, were either an imperial princess selected by Queen Margaret III in the Northern Continent or an imperial princess carefully selected by the Queen's family, her maternal grandfather Granmart IV and her maternal grandmother Maritia II, for his only grandson in the Eastern Continent.

The last one is a relative of his father, Emperor Augustus VIII. She is an imperial princess chosen by his grandfather, Orlandar VI, and grandmother, Elizabeth III in the southern continent. She was originally chosen for political marriage and was intended to marry any prince of the royal family of the Obelisk Empire.

According to the original plan, the last one wanted to marry Prince Aosta's eldest brother, the eldest prince Ossid, who had the right to inherit the throne. Ossid was the son of the former queen and had been the focus of Emperor Augustus's training since he was a child, and he regarded him as his official successor. At that time, Emperor Augustus VIII suddenly changed his mind and transferred the marriage to the third prince Aosta.

This was not because the emperor had a change of heart, or the result of the queen's intervention. In order to allow his eldest son to inherit the throne smoothly and consolidate his power in the Western Continent in the future, Augustus VIII wanted the first empress to marry a princess from an important empire in the Western Continent. This would meet political needs, and thus the third prince, Aosta, got it for free.

Although Prince Osta was a time traveler, he did not reject this designated political marriage. After all, after traveling through time, he had to adapt to the local customs and the environment of the other world. As for his fiancée, if she was unwilling, he could only follow the example of his father and mother and treat each other with respect for the rest of his life. Feelings were something that could not be forced.

Moreover, his reputation among the royal family members and princes of the Obelisk Empire was not outstanding, and he had not accomplished any great achievements worthy of praise. Those fiancées who had never met him probably had a very bad first impression of him, thinking that he was a greenhouse flower who had relied on Queen Margaret III to protect him until now, and that he would not achieve anything great in politics in the future.

"Lord Osta, please don't be discouraged. I will be with you wherever you go."

"Look, Chris is a sensible girl. A grown man should have great ambitions!"

"Mother, I think my brother and his friends are more suitable! Can't we ask father to be flexible? Just like the previous times, ask the imperial physician to help issue a certificate."

"Forget it. The imperial physician can't find a suitable treatment for your condition now. Don't make things difficult for her. I'll arrange for someone to go with you this time, and Chris will protect your safety together. Even if you get to the Central Continent, you don't have to worry about any problems."

Queen Margaret III still had a gentle smile on her face, but this was the first time she had rejected her son's request in so many years. Although she was extremely protective and doted on her son, Margaret III, like most mothers in the world, hoped that her son would one day stand out and make a career. After all, she did not believe that Prince Aosta, who inherited her excellent bloodline and genes, was an incapable person.

Prince Osta didn't think too much about it at the time. But when he heard that his mother was going to arrange guards for him with fighting abilities comparable to Chris', he looked strange and his expression was a little subtle. It seemed that she was the only person in the palace whose strength was comparable to Chris'.

Chapter 3 The Queen's Special Arrangement

In the Obelisk Empire, Chris, the exclusive maid and bodyguard of the third prince Osta, is a celebrity. Almost everyone in the capital of the empire, Onesret, knows her and she is a household name.

After all, when Chris was just a six-year-old girl, she defeated all the royal guards in the palace by herself, and won without any injury. If Chris had other ideas at that time, she could have completely changed the history of the Obelisk Empire. She could have easily defeated the guards around the emperor, and it would not have been difficult for her to kill the emperor.

It wasn't just the palace guards that Chris defeated. Even though Emperor Augustus VIII seemed very calm, he was actually afraid of Chris's fighting ability. When the recruitment failed, the wise emperor tried to dispatch the secret guards in the palace and the masters who protected the palace to deal with the little girl to eliminate future troubles.

As a result, all these so-called hidden masters were beaten unilaterally by Chris without any suspense. Many masters were directly beaten to the point of being useless, and their life-long cultivation was completely destroyed. They were easily destroyed by that little girl.

At this point, Emperor Augustus VIII of the Empire completely gave up the idea of ​​opposing Chris, but he was a little unhappy that Chris was actually a die-hard fan of the third prince Osta. He was worried that if the third prince had any ideas about the throne in the future, the eldest prince Osed's right of succession to the throne would be in irreversible crisis.

Until now, there has been no master who can compete with Chris around other princes or even Emperor Augustus VIII. The strength of that silver-haired beauty seems to be unfathomable, maintaining an unfathomable mystery.

Chris is not completely invincible. She has an opponent in the palace, that is Yulia, who is a maid and guard beside Queen Margaret III. When the queen said that she would give Osta a maid who is similar to Chris, Osta roughly guessed it. For a while, he was a little overwhelmed. Six years ago, some unpleasant things happened between Yulia and Chris.

"Mother, you don't want Yulia to accompany me to the Central Continent, do you? That's impossible. She is your maid."

"You have guessed it, so I won't introduce you. What's wrong with Yuliya? She is not my exclusive maid. Now I arrange her for you, but you are still unwilling. I don't know how many princes wanted me to arrange Yuliya for them, but I didn't agree."

Queen Margaret III had a gentle smile on her face, but her tone was unquestionable, making it clear that everything had been arranged long ago, and there was no room for negotiation. Julia's background was also mysterious. According to Prince Aosta's memory, this beautiful girl also came to the palace when he was six years old, a month or two later than Chris. It was said that she was a street child picked up by Queen Margaret III when she was patrolling outside the palace.

Osta originally had no special impression of this mysterious maid until six years ago, when Queen Margaret III issued a false order to assassinate her own son, the third prince Osta, in order to test whether Julia was loyal to her and whether she would obey her orders.

At the same time as the assassination, Queen Margaret III also took the opportunity to test Aosta's exclusive maid and guard Chris, who had accompanied him for many years, to see if they were devoted to the prince and willing to fight to the death to protect him. After learning the truth, Aosta was depressed for a long time, stunned by his own mother's magical operation, which was too much of a pitfall for her son.

The result of that death fight was known only to a few people, including Prince Aosta. It was a tragic loss for both sides. Julia and Chris fought to a draw, and they almost died together. Fortunately, Queen Margaret III arrived in time to clear up the misunderstanding.

However, because of this incident, Osta blamed his mother for a long time. It took Queen Margaret III more than a year of comforting him and promising him a lot of welfare benefits to calm her son's dissatisfaction.

Of course, after the life-and-death battle, one can imagine that the relationship between Chris and Julia has almost reached a freezing point. If it weren't for the presence of Prince Osta and Queen Margaret III, they would probably have fought to the death. Now taking them both to the Central Continent together, Osta is going to have a headache as to how to reconcile their relationship along the way.

"Prince Osta, I will protect you wholeheartedly. You don't have to worry. I was just following orders. Chris, I'm sorry, I was a little too harsh back then."

"Humph! Yulia, you're really harsh. You're just trying to fight to the death."

Yulia soon appeared in the Emerald Palace. She had been waiting here for a long time. Queen Margaret III had arranged it in advance. Chris snorted coldly in response to Yulia's apology. It seemed that the relationship between the two could not be repaired so quickly.

Yulia's pure black hair and a pair of pure violet eyes exude a mysterious aura at all times. This beautiful girl is as beautiful as Chrissy, with extremely fair skin, a perfect figure with golden ratio, and delicate facial features. There is no obvious flaw to be found.

Yulia's voice was not as sweet and gentle as Chris's. Instead, it gave people a cold and ethereal feeling, as if it did not contain any emotion. Yulia's smile was harder to come by than Chris's. Even in front of Queen Margaret III, after so many years, the Queen had never seen her truly smile.
