Chapter 68: The Emperor’s Daughter

Emperor Karl Heinz read over the letter he had just received and grinned.

The substitution operation had been successfully completed. Ermengard had been found, and Ernesta had returned home.

However, the fact that a war had broken out between Shenka and Leutravia was unacceptable. Due to the alliance, they had to send troops and supplies to the werewolves, if only as an apology.

He was such a fool not to have realized that his wife had been replaced. It was still frustrating to think that he had to form an alliance with those savages on equal terms.

The emperor lit his cigar and took a deep drag to calm himself down.

Nevertheless, it was a happy accident that his daughter, who had been thought to be useless, proved to be useful now.

That scholar – he had forgotten her name – seemed to have been a good parent to raise a daughter who could accomplish such a task.

Perhaps he could continue to use her in the future. It was Ermengard’s unpredictability that worried him; no one knew when she might try to escape again.

“Just to make sure we can replace her anytime.”

As he spoke his mind, Empress Constanze narrowed her eyes beside him.

“What do you mean?”

“That girl. If she can do this much, let’s have her keep working for us in the future.”

He called in the Knight Commander and gave instructions to secure the girl who was said to be in Weisbergk, and have her waiting somewhere where she could be replaced at any time without being noticed by the werewolves.

“Of course, with surveillance. Now go.”

However, the Knight Commander, with eyes wide open as if he couldn’t believe it, did not move. Karl Heinz felt a sense of irritation and rubbed his cigar on the ashtray.

“With all due respect, Your Majesty, involving outsiders any further…”

“Outsiders? Who’s an outsider? That’s my daughter.”

He called the child he had once abandoned his daughter again if it was necessary. Karl Heinz did not realize how selfish this act was.

“If you keep pushing too hard, the likelihood of it being exposed will increase! Please reconsider…!”

“Silence, you incompetent who spent a tremendous amount of time looking for just one clueless princess! I don’t need to take advice from the likes of you!”

Knight Commander, why won’t you listen to orders?

Constanze spoke as Karl Heinz seemed to be repeatedly shouting impetuously.

“Well, Your Majesty. I will go.”

With an unexpected proposal, the two men looked at Constanze with confused expressions.

The Empress remained expressionless as she silently sat there.

“If she becomes a substitute for that girl… no, I will make her an eternal shadow. If it is your proposal, Isolte will surely agree.”

The Empress, who had hardly ever left the castle and never interfered with politics, headed to the border to capture her own daughter. It was an unimaginable situation, as if a bolt from the blue.

“Very well, Your Majesty. Please give me your orders.”

Constanze showed a beautiful smile. It was a smile that closely resembled the smile of her eldest daughter, who had become the source of turmoil.
