Lords of the Warp Beginning with Violet

The banquet full of flattery and profit came to an end, and the Imperial Parliament followed closely behind.

"Ta Ta ~ Ta Ta ~"

The high heels of the leather boots made a crisp sound when they stepped on the smooth marble floor.

The Duke pushed open the wooden door of the parliament and walked in. The originally noisy parliament hall suddenly became quiet.

Anyone with eyes could see that the Duke's face was darker than before at the banquet, and her husband and assistant, who was rumored to have always been by her side, was not around.

After taking a quick look, Violet sat down in a seat near the front where there were not many people around.

There is nominally no seating order in the parliament hall, but just because there is no seating order in name doesn't mean there isn't one.

For example, usually only the grand dukes of the empire can sit in the first row, while the next two rows are for powerful military nobles.

Leaning back in her chair with her chin in her hand, Violet thought about the conversation she had with Lee Seung after the banquet last night.

"Ivan is going to make you the chief of staff. Are you really not going to go?"

Violet sat in front of the dressing table in her pajamas, looking through the mirror at her husband who was undressing for bed. There was a slight tremor in her voice, which was completely different from a few days ago when she didn’t want Li Sheng to interfere in the territory issue.

"What's wrong? Didn't you complain that I was in the way a few days ago? Now you want to keep me?" He casually hung his coat on the hanger, turned around and walked behind his wife, teasing her with a smile.

"..." The woman tightened the wooden comb in her hand and said nothing, but she no longer looked at her husband behind her.

"Don't worry. First of all, I am here with the Emperor's order and the army. My status is equivalent to that of the Ursus ambassador and no one dares to touch me. Secondly, my personal strength is not weak. At the very least, I can solve the problem. Finally, if you miss me, don't you still have the Guixu fragment?"

Li Sheng proceeded step by step, and finally took out a diamond-shaped crystal from the void and placed it in front of Violet.

"In addition, there is this thing. It contains my sealed spiritual energy, which is enough for you to use before I come back.

After all, if you are too far away from each other, calling on your psychic energy from your main body will put too much pressure on your body, but with this, you don’t have to worry, you can use it at will.”

Leaning her head back in Li Sheng's arms, the woman reached out a hand to stroke his face, and finally took the crystal he handed over.

Standing up and pushing the chair away, Violet hugged him: “You can’t go there, or I will…”

It was not a plea, nor a threat. Li Sheng's eyes revealed doting, and his arms responded to her embrace, but he did not speak.

She didn't remember anything after that. She only knew that she fell asleep in Li Sheng's arms. It must be that Li Sheng used some magic again, otherwise...

"Click~"

The sound of the wooden door opening interrupted her thoughts. It was Li Sheng and Ivan who came to the meeting room after talking.

Violet put down her arm that had been supporting her chin and sat up straight.

Ivan walked up to the podium of the Imperial Parliament and looked around at the nobles: three grand dukes, thirteen earls, fifty viscounts, and the only two hundred or so barons in Ursus who were qualified to attend the Imperial Parliament.

“How was your talk with Ivan?” Violet leaned inconspicuously towards Li Sheng who was sitting next to her, communicating with him secretly through the Guixu fragment.

"Of course there is no problem. It is very easy for me to push the position of Chief of General Staff. Now you are in charge of the war to retake the lost territory. I can just lie back and relax.

Then when you finish the battle, I will sign an agreement with Casimir on behalf of Ursus, and then go directly to Bolivar via Casimir."

"You know that's not what I meant!?" Obedience was not the answer she wanted. The woman was a little anxious and didn't bother to listen to the emperor's speech on the stage. She turned her head to look at Li Sheng who was pulling his arm.

"His Majesty the Emperor is appointing you as the leading general to conquer Casimir. Even though you and I know each other well, the Grand Duke still needs to pay attention to his manners in such occasions." Li Sheng smiled and pointed at Ivan on the stage with his free right hand.

At this moment, Ivan had no choice but to look at the two people in the audience with a forced smile. One can imagine how devastated he was.

One is your teacher and one of the most famous sorcerers in Terra's modern history, and the other is the most prestigious Grand Duke in the history of the Empire. Why don't you choose a place to flirt with each other?

"Okay, stop being angry, let's talk after the meeting is over." Li Sheng's voice came from her mind, and she had no choice but to agree.

Taking a deep breath, she stood up from her seat with her hands on the table, and suddenly a depressing atmosphere surrounded the whole place.

The pressure from the top gods of the subspace was released. Looking around, she saw that all the nobles bowed their heads when they looked at her. Koschei also grinned and turned his head away. Some even peed themselves out of fear on the spot.

But no one laughed at him. This pressure was real. What did this mean? This meant that he really had the ability to be a general.

"I think there is no one here who objects to my proposal to become a general?" she asked coldly and seriously.

No one answered, and what followed was an even stronger pressure, causing many old and weak guys to simply collapse in their seats.

"Why would the Grand Duke do this? If no one answers, then they will accept the Grand Duke as the general."

Kosice, who finally couldn't bear it anymore, gave everyone a way to leave, while cursing the nobles present in his heart.

As a duke, he has power and influence. His Majesty the Emperor would smile when he saw him. You guys, whose ancestors were war maniacs, have only muscles in your heads? Is that something you can look at? You just look at him with a shameless face!

Retracting the pressure she had been exerting, Violet nodded to Ivan and sat down again.

"Very good, now that we have chosen the general, we need to assemble the army. I plan to declare war on Casimir and send out three armies, namely the Second Army, the Fourth Army, and the Ninth Army.

The material expenses for the Second and Ninth Armies will be borne by the Royal Family and the Purple Territory, and I hope you can raise the remaining Third Army within the next half month."

"What do you think of this proposal?" Ivan put down the manuscript in his hand and looked at the people in the audience.

"Well... let me be frank. The nobles will naturally have no problem with supplies, but the Ninth Army? They are a well-known scumbag throughout the empire. Wouldn't transferring them here affect the march?" Duke Baikal asked with a little confusion.

“Let me explain this.” Violet stood up and said, “In order to deal with the threat from the snowfields in the north, I wrote a letter to the former emperor Alexander five years ago. After receiving the document of permission from the emperor, I worked hard to integrate the entire Ninth Army stationed in the north.

They set out from Thorn City shortly before I left, and I believe they should have arrived at Saint Steed Castle soon with the supplies."

"I'm fine now." Shaking his head, Baikal trembled and stopped talking.

He didn't understand how the Violet Territory, which had always been famous for its business, had suddenly become a military stronghold and even had an army group at its disposal. Wasn't the emperor afraid that she would rebel?

It was a pity that he could only think about these words in his head and could not say them out loud. However, if he said them out loud, Ivan might even be embarrassed.

Like the evil god Black Snake, he is a veteran figure who has lived through the entire history of Ursus and is relied upon by the ancestor Igor.

They are so high in position and powerful that I have to address them as Grand Duke when I meet them in private. Even the husband of one of the dukes is my teacher. Let's not talk about whether they may rebel or not. Even if they do, what can I, a newly appointed emperor, do?

I guess by then, the army group that supports me won't be as many as those that support them. You must have drunk too much Ursus beer to ask such a question, right?
