"Empress, about those children… is there really no other way to resolve this?" After hesitating for a moment, Hawk asked carefully.

What's with that disgusting look? Old man, you're ninety years old, what are you trying to do, acting cute?

"It's possible, but they won't be able to gain their powers again. However, it will still drain their lifeforce. The damage the zuizai (young ones) do to the body is irreversible; they'll probably lose about ten years of their lives."

"Yes, I'll tell them. Then I'll take my leave. Oh, and Your Majesty, this is my scroll; you can use it to contact me."

"Hmm? Alright, I was thinking of modifying you a bit."

(,,#ﾟДﾟ) "N-No need!" I want to live a few more years and witness the rise of the kingdom with my own eyes. I don't have many days left!

"It's the kind without side effects, you know."

"Hmm??? Really!"

"Yes, since you know so much about good food."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hawk really wanted to laugh out loud. Haha, a coffee shop in exchange for so much! Learn magic? Screw that! I'll start learning to cook tomorrow! Hahaha! ~\ (≥▽≤)/~

"Here, take this and eat it."

"Haha, thank you, Your Majesty." ?c(ﾟ.ﾟ*)｡｡｡ "E-Eat this?"

No! Please don't nod, Your Majesty! Your old subject doesn't want to see this!

*Gulp.* Don't misunderstand! That wasn't a swallow of anticipation, it was a swallow of fright!

"Hmm?"

Empress, what are you doing? Oh my, say something! Don't look so profound; it makes me feel like if I don't eat it, you'll run away and quit!

…

Fine! I'll eat it! Isn't that enough?

It's just a ball of meat, how scary can it be?

Holy crap! This thing is alive! Holy crap! *%￥#@!!

…

After leaving the palace, Hawk felt a mix of emotions.

I'm not clean anymore, I'm not clean anymore. I thought it was just a ball of meat, who knew that thing could move? My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable now, not physically, just psychologically.

But a warm sensation is surging through my limbs, and it seems like I can stand up straighter when I walk. So… could I try it out?

That's not right, I'm the Grand Advisor…

Well, maybe I could try it out quietly at home… no one would know anyway.

No! When did I decide to try it out! Why am I already thinking about where to try it out!

No! No!

…

Ah! Second spring!

(¯﹃¯*)

Long live the Empress, praise the Empress!

"Y-Your Majesty, may I come in?" A knock sounded, and Lin Mo frowned but agreed anyway.

"Yes, come in."

Dressed in a standard maid outfit, but Lin Mo wasn't satisfied with the skirt. The design wasn't good; it was too long. How could she move around easily like that? It's not convenient for work!

It should be shorter!

"What is it? You can raise your head and speak."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'm here to change your clothes. Your evening gown is ready."

"So fast? You have such a fast tailor and you didn't tell me about a single cupboard? The previous king should be beheaded!"

Lin Mo's words frightened the little maid, who didn't dare to speak loudly. Her Majesty seemed difficult to serve.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, that's Princess Elsa's tailor…"

"Then wait a moment! Is the Queen still here?"

Lin Mo's mind was racing again.

The king is dead, so if there's a princess, does that mean there's a widowed queen!

Oh my god!

As soon as this thought appeared, Lin Mo couldn't hold back the reins of the beast within. It's… it's coming out!

This isn't good!

"Your Majesty, the previous king didn't have a queen. The queen before that is already dead. Princess Elsa is her child."

"Wait, let me sort this out, it's a bit messy."

In other words, the previous king was not related to the current princess. This isn't good, I just don't know if the princess has blonde hair…

"Yes, but let me do your makeup first."

"Your hair is very good, so I'll just put it up simply and use a crown to hold it in place. However, your crown is still being made, so we'll have to use this as a temporary replacement."

Saying that, she took out a brand-new crown and placed it on Lin Mo's head.

…

"Done!"

Looking at herself in the mirror, Lin Mo couldn't help but want to imagine some inappropriate things, the kind that wastes a lot of data.

"Seems not bad. By the way, will the princess be attending tonight?"

"Yes, all members of the royal family will be attending." Just waiting for your order; after tonight, they won't be royal family anymore.

"Hmm, that seems not bad. Let's go."

"Yes."

But as the king, going to a noble's castle to attend a party doesn't feel right. Sigh, it's so chaotic. It's a miracle this country is still around.

"Empress! There's something bad on you! It seems to be used to make you…" The rest of what Kaka said was cut off, but with the Empress's thinking, she could definitely imagine it instantly.

Sure enough.

"Are you saying I've been drugged?" Lin Mo's expression was strange. So, there really are perverted lolicon (those who are attracted to young girls) who like me?

Liking is fine, because I'm cute, but can they really get *%￥**?

Rejecting youthful aesthetics! Starting with you!

"Yes, you don't feel it yet, but it will take effect in a while. Wait a moment, Kaka will analyze it."

"Hmm… the specific effect on your body will be about an hour from now. You'll feel weak all over, and then the instinct to reproduce will be developed… Empress! Should we use the zuizai (young ones)? Three minutes! The zuizai will be there immediately!"

Flatten these humans!

Kaka was a little unhappy. Although the Empress wasn't in any danger, this behavior was too terrible!

Lin Mo stroked her chin and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"No need. Bring Little White over; she should have recovered, right?"

"Hmm, physically she has, but psychologically she still seems a bit off. Your Majesty, you wouldn't…"

(￣w￣) Lin Mo grinned. Seeing her expression, Kaka shivered. Someone was going to be unlucky. The Empress's devilish nature had risen…

"…So pitiful…" Kaka shook her head. It seemed that Little White was just a toy for the Empress to have fun with. Then everything was fine~

"Oh right, capture the maid who attacked me and let Long Ye go."

"Okay."
