9. Experience What Cruelty Is

From noble mtl dot come

Ivan Letty’s perspective.

The powerful, martial, and valiant extreme northern realm of the Rossiya Empire, a gift from the great Rossiya Mother to the Rossiya people, and standing at the pinnacle of the Rossiya Empire, commanding the winds and decreeing irrefutable orders, the highest point of the Rossiya Empire—the Emperor—is the power bestowed upon Ivan Letty by the Rossiya Mother.

This was not something Letty obtained through her own short and cute appearance, nor through acting coy, but… taken by force! The previous Emperor, Letty’s father, had died quite early, leaving a mess for the young successor, Letty. Her mother, amidst a pack of nobles eyeing the Emperor’s position like hyenas, eventually died of overwork soon after.

Fortunately, by this time, Ivan Letty was no longer a child clutching a doll. Her one-in-a-million lightning attribute talent steadied her footing; her genius intellect won her the support of excellent warriors; and finally, Letty was a bit annoyed: her cute appearance almost garnered her a hundred percent approval rating among the populace!

After eliminating the nobles who opposed her, Ivan Letty became the sole hegemon of the Rossiya Empire—the commanding Emperor of Rossiya. This was Empress Letty’s empire, and those who defied Letty’s orders deserved death! Those who displeased Letty would be sent to Siberia to dig potatoes the next day!

However, as domineering as Letty was, she now encountered a frustration that she couldn’t scream out or electrify no matter how much it simmered inside her!

Angry, Letty returned to her royal palace. Along the way, from the guards to the nobles, not one dared to speak to her, for the angry Empress Letty was radiating thunder magic all over, sparks and lightning in her wake—who would dare approach? Even fools knew the Emperor was in a bad mood and certainly didn’t want to provoke her.

Then, back in her chamber, she saw Rasputin standing there full of expectation.

“Lady Letty~”

[Crackle and zap]

Before Rasputin could even ask, a spark of electric fire struck him, leaving him convulsing on the ground, drooling. Fortunately, the extreme climate of the Rossiya Empire meant its citizens were robust. A mere bolt of lightning, and Rasputin, known as Rossiya’s number one strategist, afraid?

No big deal~ Just consider it a massage.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak… Lady Letty, are you, are you upset?”

“Nonsense!”

Letty roared in anger, directly drawing her sword and poking at Rasputin’s rear.

The sour thrill between the two almost made Rasputin blurt out immediately, but at the same time, Rasputin also got excited.

Opportunity has come!

These past few days, Lady Letty has been all about that weak foreigner, calling him ‘big brother’ this and that, haha~ Is she tired of it now, or what? Finally in a bad mood? It’s about time to settle the score with that foreigner who almost made me run around naked, not to mention that foreign woman who caused my mission to fail and left me frozen for two or three days. Hmph…

“Lady Letty, is it those foreigners that have upset you?”

“Shut your mouth, Rasputin! No way! Bret!”

Letty lifted her foot and delivered a painful kick to Rasputin’s kidney, which was so sourly thrilling that it almost made him vomit last night’s dinner. However, Letty’s reaction made Rasputin even more convinced: Lady Letty has indeed taken a dislike to those foreigners!

“Lady Letty, please calm down~ Have you forgotten? I, Rasputin, am your most loyal servant, the number one strategist of the Rossiya Empire! Just tell me who you’re displeased with, and I can make their lives worse than death with ease!”

After a moment of silence, the crackling lightning around Letty finally disappeared. She kicked Rasputin a bit, and he immediately got the hint, rising to his knees to serve as a human chair for Letty.

“It’s… that Kefir!”

Letty muttered. Clearly, this morning she was put in her place, ignoring that it was ‘big brother’ who defied her orders. But now, Letty found herself disliking Kefir even more.

This thought was indeed very strange, even making Rasputin, kneeling as a chair, turn his head.

“Ha!? Shouldn’t you hate that bean sprout instead?”

“!”

Letty’s eyes twitched angrily, and then she stabbed the sword back into Rasputin’s behind.

“Squeak squeak squeak!!”

“Do you have any opinion on who this great emperor should hate!?”

“No… no squeak! I understand, Lady Letty, I’ll think of a way to drive that foreign woman away!”

“Do you need me to send you KGB men?”

“Not at all!”

Rasputin completely forgot about the sword still stuck in his behind, ecstatically overjoyed! Although unclear about the reason, that woman had provoked the most dangerous person in Rossiya—Empress Letty!

It was just the right time to settle the score with that woman! Taking this opportunity for a bit of personal revenge! Let that woman know: she’s messed with someone she shouldn’t have! Hmph!

With that thought, Rasputin suddenly felt a lot more imposing.

As for the method?

“Lady Letty, this is the Rossiya Empire, and they’re staying at the Lubyanka Academy. You say it’s difficult to take action, but to teach her a lesson and make her pack up and leave, I have plenty of ways. Just you wait~”

“Hmph…”

Letty hummed unhappily, but without the immediate crackling electricity, Rasputin knew that Lady Letty had tacitly agreed.

“Speaking of which, the KGB has been investigating the loss of our Rossiya Empire’s secret documents. Lady Letty, if you ask me… those ying-country folks are very suspicious~ Not to mention that man who’s always smiling at you, I think, this traitor… might just be him…”

【Crackle】

A sourly thrilling current of electricity made Rasputin shut his mouth instantly.

Although Rasputin also wanted to take the opportunity to slander those two foreigners, what’s with Lady Letty, why the sudden displeasure?

“Rasputin, mind your own business!”

“Yes… Squeak!”

No, there’s no other way, I must find a way to teach that Kefir a lesson. Starting a fight in the street is out of the question; I’d be the one to lose face, so I need to find another way to legally and rightfully humiliate that arrogant woman.

Hmm, she seems to be a student of Professor Moriarty, preparing for an upgrade? Hmph~

Suka Blyat, Kefir, you foreign woman, you’ll soon know the consequences of offending me, and the cruelty of Rasputin, the Empire of Rossiya’s number one staff officer.
