The Archangel of Death - Chapter 347
347: Wish 347: Wish Chapter 347 “His Highness, the fifth imperial prince, and the third crown candidate is now entering!!!” The concierge of the imperial court announced my presence loudly once arrived outside the courtroom.
As I entered, all eyes turned to me.
Well, I was the youngest SS ranked individual after all.
The crown was as good as mine and I was the only one capable enough now as well.
The rest were… well, with the vegetative state of the current crown prince, none of his children were baring their fangs at the moment.
While many of the nobles were still on their side, my side was strong enough as well.
After all, I had the holy saint on my side.
And soon enough…
A massive army as well.
“Prince Adrian,” Orion said, looking at me with a smirk, “It feels like just yesterday you were here, a failure, convicted of horrible crimes, and now, here you are, standing as a hero.
How do you feel?” To obvious dissing remark, I simply smiled and said, “I left this deranged family.
That’s my only secret.” This was a family of dysfunctional people.
Everyone present here would admit that.
Well, I was a bit dysfunctional as well.
Maybe that was why I mixed in so well.
“Hahaha.” Orion laughed boisterously before he added, “That we are.
That we are.” He stopped laughing after a few moments and said, “For your many achievements, not just this one, but the ones before this one as well, I, as the emperor of this empire, grant you one wish.
One wish that is within my power.
No matter what it is.
Whether it is the abolishment of some noble family, I will lead my army there myself, or if you wish to be crowned of a kingdom’s ruler, I will put that ruler down myself.
So say it.
What is your wish?” While it might have sounded like a joke, it wasn’t actually a joke.
This old man would do whatever he was saying and he wouldn’t think twice doing so.
Dysfunctional.
No doubt the old man would give me whatever I asked for but my wish was actually very simple.
“I want all the slaves in this empire,” I replied.
“What?” He asked, unsure of my incomplete request.
“Slavery.
I want it to be abolished in this empire, and for every slave to be sent to my city, Caligulas.
Slavery be made illegal in the empire and anyone found to be engaged in it in any way would be punished by only one method.
Death.” I elaborated on my wish, inciting a lot of whispers among the crowd.
Even the old men looked at each other.
Getting a nation was easy.
Ridding a nation of its disease at the smaller levels was difficult as hell.
When you build a house, major issues can easily be solved.
It was those minor issues that gave you a headache.
Similarly, ridding a long, long, obviously criminal business wasn’t as easy as it sounded.
My wish was anything but easy.
There would be a lot of kickbacks from the nobles of the empire.
Especially after their toys were taken away.
So for those kind of people… “If any of the noble families fail to comply, I will march into their houses myself and kill them.
Down to their last infant.” A threat.
Of course, I wouldn’t kill children.
But they didn’t need to know that part.
They had seen my power.
My threat was as good as properly delivered.
The only left thing was… “Give us some time to discuss, Prince Adrian,” Orion said and turned to his two only advisors.
As for the rest, if they weren’t asked, then their opinion didn’t matter in the least.
After a short discussion, the emperor turned to me and said, “Very well, Prince Adrian.
Your wish will be granted.
By tomorrow, you will have every slave in the Cortum empire in your city.” I nodded and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.” ~~ After that, there was a short banquet where I had to present.
Of course, I didn’t stay for more than half an hour.
The reason for that was… “Letzz drimkk, your hishgness.” Alicia clung to me like a magnet and spoke nonsense.
Her slurry tongue would have been very cute if she wasn’t drooling all over the place.
My left shoulder was drenched in her saliva.
Still, I didn’t mind her and carried her to her room.
The other girls gave me a stink eye but I wasn’t intending to do anything other than drop Alicia to her room.
As we arrived, I laid her in her bed, her maid moved but I waved my hand, excusing them for the night.
Once she was properly tucked in, I turned to left but she wouldn’t let go of my hand.
“I ordur you to get in my beddd!!!” She yelled like she was literally giving an order.
“Sleep,” I said.
“NO!
I wwant to dwink mowe!!!” She said, voice still as loud.
I shook my head and simply lay down beside her.
I closed my eyes as she hugged me tightly.
“Why did grandfather have to come that day…” She muttered.
I knew what day she was talking about, “Had he not… we would have had a child by now…” Haha… I couldn’t help but chuckle.
She must have liked Adrian a lot.
Even letting him do that horrible thing to her was something she didn’t mind.
It was a little upsetting.
She shouldn’t love like that.
And on the other hand, I couldn’t have a child with her.
This was a fragment.
I couldn’t have children in this place.
Best place to have s*x.
No need to suit up.
Anyway, the world’s laws didn’t allow me to have children in fragments and it had never happened before so I had to disappoint Alicia in that regard.
“Adrian,” She said in a very low voice.
“Hmm?” I replied, giving her the signal to go.
“Do you love me?” She asked.
“I do,” I replied as I combed her hair.
“Will you marry me?” She asked.
“Yes,” I replied.
“Will you have two hundred children with me?” She asked a number that made even me flabbergasted.
“Haha…” I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“You will not?” She looked up at me, her angry expression hellishly cute.
I shook my head and replied, “I don’t want to make any promises in that regard.” “What?!
Why not?!
Am I not beautiful?!
Do you think I will not be a good mother?!” She asked, her mouth inflated which only made her cute but even then, I couldn’t promise just to calm her down.
“No.
That’s not what I’m saying.” I said.
“I do not care!
I want a baby!” She said and before I could think of my next course of action, she went straight for my treasure and… “Stop!
Alici-ooff-stop.” I tried to stop her but she was relentless.
Well, she wasn’t stronger than me but I didn’t want to hurt her so I didn’t exert much pressure.
However… ~~ We did it.
[All] [Night] [Long] ‘Did you enjoy the show, you pervert?’ [Despite saying no] [You didn’t give the poor girl a break even when she couldn’t move anymore] [And I’m the pervert here?] ‘Yeah, well…’ I had a lot on my mind, honestly.
I was still very worried about Becca.
Where she was?
Was she all right or not?
What was the state of her pregnancy?
And most importantly… Who was the child in her belly?
How was she connected to all of this?
Question upon question but no answer in sight.
It really stressed me out a lot.
And the worst part was that most of those questions were because of me.
Was I not as conceited as I was, I might not have lost Becca.
[You don’t know that] ‘Well, I’ll never know.’ Whether I was right to feel immense guilt or not was a question I couldn’t answer.
I might regret it with all my life.
Putting in the pile of my regrets, increasing that mountain a little more.
[There was something your father used to say] ‘What?’ [Regrets are life] ‘Ha.’ I couldn’t help but chuckle.
I for one could guarantee those weren’t my father’s words.
Those were wise words.
They sure as hell didn’t come from my Dad.
[You’re right] [Those are his father’s words] ‘Sounds like my grandpa.’ [Not even close] ‘What?’ I asked.
[Nothing] Allison’s words left me to ponder on something but before I could pursue the topic, the girl in my arms trembled.
Her blonde hair, white skin, and long pointy ears slightly tickled my chest.
Oh yeah, I might have taken the bracelet on her wrist somewhere last night.
Maybe it was the fourth or fifth round.
[Sixth] ‘So you kept count.
Pervert.’ [Sure, sure] I smiled and turned to Alicia who had just woken up, a little confused.
She just looked around before her eyes finally widened.
With those wide eyes, she mechanically turned to me, and when she saw me… “Good morning,” I said.
“Ah… Ahhh….
Ahh…” And she lost consciousness.
