WHEN SHE WENT BACK TO HER PARENT'S parent's house, I was curious as to how it was possible for her to seize control of the entire palace, disregard even her brother, the emperor, and wield power comparable to that of the empress; nevertheless, Burnett even told me that in detail.
"After the Imperial Unification War, His Majesty has recompiled a new code of laws."
An appropriate administration structure is required in order to exercise authority over a vast region. After the law was enacted, the emperor could no longer wield power as he pleased.
Even though the emperor was technically the head of the nation, the aristocratic council was the primary body responsible for lawmaking. To put it another way, if the Emperor is the President of the country, then the Council of Nobles would be the equivalent of the Congress.
With the emperor unable to save even his own wife, it seems the nobility have made the sword master emperor their puppet, who is only helpful during wartime.
"It contained insults that the nobles could not bring themselves to say about His Highness' mother. It's disastrous."
The emperor must have hoped for a new empress. However, things didn't go as planned, so when it was already troublesome, Princess Lotte returned to her parent's house, The Imperial Palace.
Even around the time of Princess Lotte's wedding, the circumstances in the empire were at their most precarious.
"At that point in time, the tyranny of dragons had brought the empire to the brink of a major disaster. If the afflicted dragon were to leave Winterbaum, then it was a moment of crisis in which the entire empire might perish."
The dragon seemed such a monster that even my dad, the most powerful person in the world, couldn't stop him.
Therefore, the emperor gave many lures with the condition that the monster be killed, and Stan's father, a simple mercenary, defeated the dragon and became the owner of the vast Winterbaum.
"At the time of the arranged marriage, I heard that Her Highness had someone else in her heart, but they said that she couldn't disobey His Majesty's orders."
Everything for the Empire.
Even though he was known as the mercenary king, this title was bestowed upon him later. Duke of Winterbaum was originally a commoner and had no noble title, and even he was ten years older than Princess Lotte.
In fact, the emperor bets on his sister as a prize.
In this way, Princess Lotte became the spoils of the mercenary king who saved the empire and went to a faraway Winterbaum to marry.
Because of this, even now, elderly people call Princess Lotte their princess and treat her affectionately.
They wished they could have a good life. Even after years of their marriage, they still had no children.
