Two months to go back.
Alexei was on duty that day. The sunset plunged into the office and Alexei's beauty stood out when she sat with her window facing away. For seven years, he ran to the battlefield, and fought with his sword in his own hands. He was incredibly elegant. After gaining the Emperor's seat, the sunburned skin turned completely white.
"Your Majesty, our relations with the surrounding countries have also improved considerably. How about getting married and welcoming the Empress? Your Majesty has struggled with the trail, as you will well know. Your Majesty needs a worthy Empress to stand behind her."
Alexei put his long legs together and looked up at Sergei, Prime Minister, and smiled.
"... your head reflects the sunset and dazzles me."
In one word, Sergei puts his hand on his head and touches his hair as if to confirm it.
"Unlike my father, I still have hair on my head!
"I'm kidding. But the Empress should welcome you before your head gets bald."
"I'm not bald!
Sergei Bazarov is a calm man with an excellent mind of his father, an ancestral prime minister, but Alexei sometimes jokes and teases him because he panics as soon as he is pointed out about his hair. Incidentally, the ancestral prime minister had a beautiful and shiny head and had two names: Prime Minister Light Magic Stone.
There are several mineral veins in the Empire that produce sparkling stones by pouring magic, and there has been a struggle with neighboring countries over them, but it is still a long time ago.
"Now, let's invite the ladies who deserve your Majesty at the next month's ball. What kind of woman does Your Majesty like?"
"I don't care if it's good for this empire."
"It's not an all-you-can-choose option, but I'll try to find the one you want."
"No, any woman."
"Wouldn't it be nice to dream a little more about marriage? Come on, big tits, big buttocks."
"Sergei, that's what you like."
Even though he was stunned, Alexei put his hand on his chin and thought for a while.
"If I could, I'd like a woman with green skin like frogs and a slime. Yes, your eyes are covered with skin, your nose and cheeks are hanging down, and you want a turbid, animal-friendly, gentle woman."
Alexei's specific and very unusual women's preferences are shocking, and Sergei chokes on words.
"... I'm kidding. I'm sorry for the nonsense. Anyway, I don't care about my appearance or age. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Thus, the choice of Princess Alexei III began.
The night book goes down, and the lights of the magic stone illuminate the office. Alexei was reading through the documents given to Sergei while taking a snack with one hand.
Sergei, on the other hand, is concerned about Alexei's ideal female statue and is not here.
"What's the matter, Sergei?
Sergei is reluctant to answer Alexei's questions.
"Your Majesty, this is the ideal female statue I mentioned earlier, but is it possible that you saved your young Majesty?"
Alexei put the papers on her desk and wrinkled between her eyebrows.
"What if it is?
Seeing Alexei with a bitter, crushed face, Sergei realized that his heart wound was still unhealed.
Alexei was killed (...) by the hand of the Empress at the age of six.
Alexei's biological mother, a witch from a neighbouring country, died after giving birth to him, and soon thereafter a new empress was welcomed by the anti-imperial aristocracy. And the Empress took care of Alexei to make him emperor of my blood-connected son.
Alexei was allegedly killed in a landslide on his way to a country palace to avoid the heat, but he was actually strangled (...) in a carriage.
And the body, stripped of its clothes, was dumped in the forest where the beast nested.
Simply because, at the time, the anti-imperial faction had an overwhelming power, he followed the Empress's plan.
The remains of Alexei, who was abandoned by the Forest of the Devil, are revived by the protection given by the mother of the Witch Princess. Even so, the beast is still alive in the woods.
The naked Alexei, who was once again given life, was immediately attacked by the Beast.
"Don't come! No, don't come!
When I cried, I couldn't get through to the Beast, and no one would help me. The third red bear, which would be three times the length of the adult's back, stripped the young Alexei of his teeth and ate the hungry, alive, and devoured soft lips and cheeks.
But even if the beast eats and dies, Alexei rises at dawn and in the morning. And the next day, he was eaten by the beast and died again.
