FEMATY (GXG) (GIRL GIRL) (FL)

50.1

A burst of severe pain followed. Victoria could already taste the tangy sweetness in her throat, yet she still used all of her energy to hug her treasured Princess and those unceasingly shaking hands. She softly said with a smile. “Sofia, you’re stabbing it too lightly……if you hate me, it doesn’t matter even if you do it harder. I love you.”

Su Yanxi’s beautiful blue eyes couldn’t stop overflowing with tears. She shouted while internally breaking down. “Even now you still want to lie to me!”

“I’m already about to die, why would I still lie to you?” The world in front of Victoria flashed to black and back. She still persisted in forcing the corner of her lips to curl up. “I came……to bring you back home……darling.”

【Su Su, look at the succession book on the ground!】007 seemed to have discovered something and suddenly yelled in excitement.【That is not an abdication book; that is a succession book!】

At the same time that 007’s voice was heard, shouts from all sides, shaking the heavens, were also heard——

【Respectfully welcome the King1 back to the palace!】

【Respectfully welcome the King back to the palace!】

【Respectfully welcome the King back to the palace!】

Su Yanxi was shocked as she looked at the succession book that fell onto the ground. The name written on it to inherit the throne was actually——

Sofia Raphael!

At the very bottom, the signatures agreeing to this succession included both Okur Raphael and Astrid Raphael’s names. The stamp covering it was also the personal stamp of her imperial father, who should have been lying on the bed…… 

——Impossible!

“Hey, Victoria Stewart, what in the world is with this situation!” Su Yanxi’s brain was completely in a mess. She asked her in disbelief.

After her wound was quickly bandaged by a nervous subordinate, and her pain was slightly eased, Victoria miserably sat on the ground. She raised her head and smiled. “I said it before, I came here to bring you back home ah, Sofia.”

Su Yanxi found it somewhat laughable. “All that turmoil was caused by you. What is your intention for coming here now!”

“This is my sincerity, Sofia.” Victoria slightly gasped out. She said in a low voice. “Sofia, if it is you, if it is you——I would be willing to bow my head and submit to you.”

“My ambition and pride were already deeply rooted inside my heart, so deeply rooted that it could not be pulled out, till my death.”

“Sofia, do you understand what kind of place the slum is? Filled with filth, poverty, blood, betrayal, fighting, cruelty……I lived in a place like that. All of that was deeply imprinted inside my heart. I could only use my hard work to climb out, to be saved.”

“I didn’t understand what love is. I believed that only by climbing to a high place could I be at ease. I utilized every method that one could think of, only thinking that I must leave that cruel, dreadful place——”

“Precisely because I relied on this ambition, I was able to stimulate my triple S potential, get noticed by Teacher Charles and brought out.”

“But I didn’t think that I would meet you……Sofia.”

Victoria paused. She absolutely would not let Sofia know that she did indeed have the idea to use her before.

“When I realized that my heart seemed to have become more and more soft, starting to gradually indulge in the days with you, I panicked. I started to be unwilling to fulfil my wild ambitions, only wanting to be with you forever like that.”

“But, if I was just a tiny guard, I would not be able to marry the Emperor’s most doted on daughter. I could only leave the capital, listen to my teacher’s suggestion, and go to the battlefield to gain merit. It conveniently also straightened out my feelings, about what is the most important in the end.”

Shedding her layer of magnificent words, her speech was unexpectedly clumsy and sincere.

“I originally thought that I would forget about you in these three years, but I didn’t. No matter the time or  place, I kept on seeing your figure. Your face would constantly appear inside my mind. At times, it was as if I went insane, even hallucinating during battle, thinking that I saw you……”

“My heaviest injury was when I discovered the Chong Clan encircling someone, because I saw that head flashing with long, golden hair and mistook them as you. I actually thought that you came to find me. The fright I felt at that time made my brain go blank. By the time my mind cleared up, I had already charged into the Chong Clan’s encirclement.”

“I’m saying these, not because I want to express something. I only……hope that you, Sofia, would trust me, that I’m not lying to you.” 

“Until I heard the news that you’re about to marry. Then I realized: turns out that everything does not matter. What matters is, you being by my side.”

“But you forgot about me, Sofia.” When her words reached here, Victoria’s tone became less clear. “You actually forgot about me. Fury and hurt made me lose my reason. Treating you like that, I truly am sorry, Your Highness.”

Su Yanxi slightly opened her mouth. “I——”

“Please allow me to finish, Sofia.” Victoria slightly gasped. She spoke, as if somewhat embarrassed. “Or else I don’t know if I could confess like this again.”

Su Yanxi’s lips moved, but in the end, she still turned silent.

“You said that I needed to let you see my sincerity. But Sofia, an arrow drawn on a bow could not be placed down. I and the imperial family already stand on opposing sides, both fighting to our deaths. Also, the capital already had signs of turmoil: the House of Lords feeling restless, Carker intending to rebel, and also those nobles who wish to use Carker, that idiot, to obtain power and influence……If I give up the power within my grasp, I will not even be able to protect you, not to mention the others.”

“So, my sincerity is: returning a peaceful, calm, and easily controllable Raphael Empire to you.”

“This empire, is still the imperial family Raphael’s.”

——If it’s you, Sofia, my treasured little princess.

——I could also be below one person and above thousands of others.

——As long as it’s you.

“You don’t regret it?” Su Yanxi’s expression was complicated as she looked at her.

Victoria naturally laughed. “Regret, I’m afraid is too late, darling? I’m all yours. Power is all in that secession book held in your hands~”

“Humph!” Su Yanxi coldly humphed. She suddenly had an arrogant and domineering smile again. She fiercely said. “Since I am already the King, then my first order is——for you to quickly scram back to the frontlines for me! Without my summon, don’t think about coming back ever again!”

Victoria: “……”As a result, in the three months after the turmoil in the capital, the people in the capital welcomed the only female omega Emperor in thousands of years.

But what made them the happiest to talk about were the following. When is the next time King Sofia will summon2 General Victoria, who would be kicked to guard the frontlines every now and then? What is the shortest time in between? How many times was it that she rejected the General’s varied and numerous methods of proposal? When will the two of them truly be together?

——General Victoria, your family’s King called you back home to clean up her hot mess la!
