Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chris Who Has Surrender
"Darling, lately you've rarely been close to me. Why don't we take a walk occasionally? Just the two of you."
Margaret was hugging Issac spoiled. The two of them were cooking in the mansion for dinner. Mrs Heid and some of her servants are out. So Issac took on the role of cooking dinner.
Margaret helped too. But rather than cooking, he just wanted to be close to Issac. That'sthat's all. To attract more attention, Margaret used a half-naked apron!
"Why not? What about tomorrow? We're empty, right?"
"All right! Thanks baby! I love you so much!!"
Margaret happily rubbed her cheeks repeatedly onto Issac's back. Unfortunately, as he was cutting some ingredients, he could not kiss Margaret.
"Ease! Why are you two doing that in the middle of the kitchen! And you too, Margaret! Why are you wearing an apron like that!!?"
Lothawat! The two of them got too carried away and forgot about the presence of the third person! Agatha is here too. He just steamed something.
"But....Agatha herself too. Why are you wearing clothes like that?"
Although Agatha criticized Margaret's clothing. Maid cafe dress with knee-length skirt and sleeveless shirt. His stomach was also open and his huge mountain stood out.
"It's okay! It's not just you who want to look beautiful in front of Issac! Me too!"
"cheat! You are with my darling too often! This time I'll take control of him!"
Wait up! Why is it a storm?! But this is a good sign for Issac. Agatha opened up to Margaret. Is it possible because they always 'play' Issac together? Then....
"Well, a storm here is pointless. While waiting for the cooking to ripen, let's 'fight' in the room."
The two girls instantly turned pale but they were happy. Using his teleportation, Issac directly carried the two girls into his room and fought until they were satisfied.

"So so. You decided to surrender and let the throne fall into the hands of your brother?"
"You want how else, right? As soon as father steps down, it is likely that a commotion will occur. My brother and I will definitely fight each other. If I force myself to become the next emperor, the national stability will be even more chaotic and the possibility of an open invasion will be wider."
What Chris said may have a point. The Moskov Empire was openly hostile to the Grand Aria empire. Once the instability occurred, Moskov would have immediately capitalized on that momentum and invaded the empire.
But Issac did not think so. Even when Chris surrendered and handed over his right to the throne to his brother, domestic turmoil would still ensue.
The tribe that inhabited the western region had calmed down and swore allegiance to Chris. When they found out that Chris, who was supposed to be an emperor, was stepping back from his duties, they would panic and prepare for a possible war.
That alone was enough to make the nobles move westward and finish them off. Like a hundred years ago, the nobles had the same policy in treating those tribes. With oppression and violence.
"I don't know what you're thinking. But I don't think I'm gonna get into any trouble. I will decide to live quietly and no longer interfere in the political affairs of the empire.
"My father and I were alone. Since the bankruptcy and collapse of the Lambard trade union, our only remaining allies have been Margrave Mariendolf and Prime Minister Eugene. Had the war been fought, we wouldn't have won."
It turns out like that. Maybe Chris forgot he had the support of the people. But if it was Chris, he would definitely not want to sacrifice the people to fall into such a futile war. It was clearly different from Issac who would use various means if it was necessary.
"I have no right to interfere in imperial affairs. But one suggestion from me, Chris. The nobles will not let you live. As long as they assume that there is a figure or group that will stand in their way, those people will do anything to get rid of it.
"I won't ask you to fight them. However you do not have enough resources to defeat them. I'm sure even the generals would rather side with the nobles than the emperor or you. And from that, run.
"If you want, I'll help you escape as best I can. I would very much welcome a very talented and great person like you at Versailles. From there, maybe we can work together to build an ideal place."
Chris laughed a little. He was pleased with Issac's offer. But it seems he can't do that. He was born and raised in the Empire. Therefore he will stay in the empire until his death will pick him up.
"Then there's nothing I say anymore. Careful, Chris. Feel free to send me a letter and ask for my help if you need it."
Isaac stood up from his chair. The talks have been concluded and he intends to leave the palace. But before that, he lifted Chris' chin and... Chu! Issac kissed Chris' lips. It was just a simple kiss, but it made Chris' face feel hot!
"Who would have thought except for your father, right, that a prince who had been the prima donna of the people was a tomboyish princess? Goodbye princess Christina."
Reverse Trap, right? Not bad. Looks like for Chris, Issac has to prepare another plan.
