Chapter 301 Growing Five Empires (5)
"I can really ask for something?"
"Yes, you can… But you have to earn it. You can always ask for something, and I'll give it to you as long as it is reasonable, and you earn it for yourself," I say with a sadistic smile.
She shivers before lowering her head.
"Then please allow me to attend to your for the remaining week when you check on the other empires," She requests, slowly shifting into a kowtow.
I glanced at the emperor, hoping to feed off of his disgust or shock… but he didn't seem fazed in the slightest.
Disappointed, I decided to move on to the next step, where I raised her head with my heel, having her stare directly into my eyes.
"Then you'll have to earn it… right?"
"Of course," She responds before backing up and placing her hands gently underneath my heel, where she began to kiss it and slowly work her way up my leg.
It was a new type of pleasure that turned me onto the max, so I couldn't suppress my sadistic smile from growing even further.
Hoka eventually reached my thigh, where she glanced in between my dress at my panties which were dripping with juices.
"Would you like me to-"
"Do you think you're noble enough to look there?" I cut her off.
"O-of course not," She responds before kissing my inner thigh, and after one more glance, she works her way up to my stomach and then my chest.
And once she placed her hands on my shoulders, she began to kiss my neck, not moving any further from there.
I glance once more at the emperor, but disappointingly he wasn't fazed in the slightest, once again.
He even walked away to go have some dinner.
Ah… Was this marriage may be arranged? Is that why he doesn't love her… and why this woman doesn't mind submitting to me in front of her husband.
"Okay, that's enough," I order, and she pulls away from me, returning back to her kneeled position in front of me.
"You've made me quite horny… But, as I don't feel like having sex with you, rest your chest against my lap. I want to have at least some form of entertainment,"
"As you wish, Mistress," She responds before pressing her chest against my thighs and even a bit harder once she finished getting into position as if she was trying to seduce me.
SLAP
I slapped her ass once, causing a moan to echo through the empty palace.
"M-Mistress…" She mutters, glancing back at me with needy eyes.
"What?"
"P-please… please touch m-"
SLAP
I interrupt her request with another slap to the ass, causing her to shut up.
SLAP
SLAP
SLAP
…
"Good morning, Mistress,"
Upon opening my eyes, I see Hoka and Lon standing beside the massive comfy bed I was given.
I also had my own private room that was just a tiny bit smaller than Hoka and her husband's bedroom.
"*yawn*... Time?"
"The sun is just rising," Lon responds without hesitation.
"I see… Okay, let's have some breakfast," I muttered before hopping out of bed and being wrapped in a warm robe by Hoka.
We made our way toward the dining room, where we had an excellent breakfast.
"Yo, you gonna take care of the homeless people or not," I taunt the emperor who sat across from me as he just began to finish his meal.
"I have already put an order in place to arrest whoever chooses to be homeless. They will be identified through their previous documents, so there should be no confusion," He responds without even looking at me in the eye.
"Oh… Nice, nice… I like you," I mutter, causing Hoka to glare intensely at her husband, who naturally ignored her.
"It is an honor to receive such praise,"
"Also, how is the equipment?"
"About 75% of the jobs in this empire are now based on creating standard equipment and enchanted equipment. We have also been raising children to become amazing enchanters and blacksmiths in order to prepare for a brighter future," The emperor responds as a few maids clean up his dirty plate and silverware.
I nodded in satisfaction upon hearing such promising words.
The Empire of Glaciers isn't really based on glaciers but just a name I gave that I thought would sound nice.
And this empire focuses on making equipment such as armor, bracelets, and a multitude of enchanted jewelry that will help buff the stats of everybody across the plane.
The Empire of Lava run by Kolora focuses on mining and gathering tons of underground materials that are necessary for the progression of each empire.
Then there is The Empire of Shadows, which focuses on creating weapons and solely weapons.
They also produce highly trained warriors since they are the basis of weapon creation and distribution across the plane.
Next, there is The Empire of Grass, a pretty boring name, but it has one of the most important roles… agriculture and creating sustainable food for the plane.
Of course, every plane has farms, but with the help of the empresses, I was informed of an untouched piece of land that a bunch of empires was fighting over…
Was it because of the underground cave system filled to the brim with gems and ores? No.
Was it because of the open plane that was perfect for expanding an empire onto? No.
It was because of the rich and nutritious soil… and I ended up giving this entire place to The Empire of Grass.
And finally, there is the Empire of Alchemy, and I took the name from a kingdom I had heard from.
As you would guess, it focuses on nurturing alchemists and creating all types of potions that can not only temporarily enhance abilities and stats but possibly permanently enhance them.
They also focus on developing medicine and healers that can be distributed through the plane at the right price.
"Mistress, are you alright? You've just been staring into space for a while," Hoka checks up on me.
"I'm fine. Let's go to the next empire… How about Kolora's?" I muttered.
…
"Mistress, I have been awaiting your arrival," Kolora greets me as I appear in her massive throne room.
It was utterly different from Hoka's throne room as it was made entirely of stone bricks and two thrones made from red hot metal sat evenly before me.
"We're heading off immediately," I order, and she nods her head.
We walked through her empire, which didn't look much different from Hoka's beside the occasional circle holding a mine.
"Is there anything specific you would like to see?" Kolora asks.
"Nah, I'm just here for an inspection," I mutter, and we continued our way down the rough stone road.
I visited tons of mines and took note of the conditions that the miners were working in.
There were some problems that I immediately noticed, but I wasn't going to say anything until we arrived back at her stone palace.
"Mistress, why are the other two empress's here?" Kolora asks.
"Because they are serving me for this round of inspection,"
"S-s-serving?!"
"What, do you have a problem with it?"
"O-of course not. B-but I can attend to you as well if need be as you are in my empire after all… so… I-I can even massage you… I-If you want," Kolora stuttered.
"Don't be so nervous… I was already going to make good use of you anyway," I smirk.
…
"That is all. If you want, we can continue to the inspection tomorrow… I've seen enough," I mutter as soon as the sun sets below the horizon.
"I-Is there something wrong?"
"Tell me, how many deaths have happened in the mines throughout the time I was gone?" I ignored her question and brought up my own.
"D-deaths? I don't understand what you're talking about,"
I wasn't the only one who noticed her nervous appearance as Hoka and Lon both sighed, already envisioning the cruel punishment that I was about to dish out.
But since I was in a good mood, I gave her another chance.
"Speak the truth… Otherwise, you'll have to be punished,"
She looked as if she was about to cry but suppressed it as she was in front of her citizens.
"A-about ten thousand…."
I snapped again.
"TEN THOUSAND! FUCK!" I shouted as I grabbed her wrist and quickly made our way into the palace.
I then pushed her to the stone floor, causing her to shiver in fear.
"And you didn't consult me on any of this?!"
"I-I'm sorry,"
"Don't apologize. I won't be accepting them anyway!"
"Y-yes Mistress,"
I took in a deep breath to calm myself down as getting angry wasn't going to do anything.
"*sigh*... Did you at least try to figure out the cause," I say as I sit on the throne meant for the emperor.
"Y-yes, b-but I thought we could handle it, and I didn't want to trouble you,"
"Are you serious?"
She just lowered her head, unable to meet my eyes.
"Is the emperor here?" I ask, and suddenly, a man with short black hair enters the room.
"What is it, your highness?"
"What are the solutions you've tried?"
"We've contacted the Empire of Alchemy, and they are currently experimenting with potions to try and see if we could combat the illness that every miner gets,"
These idiots…
