"(Quick Transmigration) The Journey of Eating Meat" - Nineteen

Florence finally went to war with the Kingdom of Arianan, but it wasn't Arianan who took the initiative. Instead, Duke Vanottino led his vanguard and rushed to the border, catching Arianan off guard.
This was a war that shocked the entire continent. Caesar's three thousand troops had defeated Arianan's ten thousand strong army, and he had advanced deep into Arianan's heartland, establishing a foothold there. The central army arrived swiftly at this time, and with the two sides working together from within and without, the flames of war spread like wildfire across Arianan's land.
Caesar's military talent was on full display in this great war, but the war did not end quickly. The nobles were shocked to discover that Caesar's goal was not to drive out the enemy troops on the border, but to occupy Ariananen in one fell swoop and bring this rich land into Florence's territory.
Faced with this mad act, the nobles split into two factions. The pro-war faction fully supported Caesar, while the pro-peace faction suggested recalling Caesar to negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Arianan. The empress, who had been bedridden for a long time, finally reappeared in public. She was extremely thin after recovering from her illness, but she quickly took over the power left by Duke Valentino and began to govern the country, which was in turmoil due to the war.
Perhaps it was the blood of the Esther family flowing in her veins, but the Empress was a born politician. Having never held political power before, after initial stumbles, she became increasingly adept at handling state affairs. After stabilizing the court with swift and decisive measures, Ye Xuan finally secured her position within the inner court. At this point, her choices regarding military matters became the most pressing concern for the nobles.
Setting down the official documents, Ye Xuan rubbed her tired temples. Just then, Annie walked in with tea and snacks, and seeing her, said worriedly, "Are you tired? Why don't you take a rest?"
"It's nothing." Ye Xuan smiled and shook her head, her gaze involuntarily falling on the courier report on the table.
Anne paused. "He... still doesn't want to come back?" The "he" Anne was referring to was Caesar.
Ye Xuan was a proponent of peace. After gaining control of the court, she sent out ten urgent dispatches in quick succession, each containing the exact same message: ordering Duke Valentino to immediately return to the capital to meet the Empress. However, Caesar ignored them, returning each dispatch unopened, without even removing the sealing wax from the envelopes.
Meanwhile, reports of victory kept pouring back to the capital, with the imperial army, under Caesar's leadership, achieving one triumph after another. Duke Valentino seemed to be risking his life, charging to the front of every attack. In just three months, he was wounded dozens of times, once even mortally wounded.
When she received the message, Ye Xuan was meeting with court officials. She swayed as she rose from her chair, seemingly intending to descend the steps, but instead collapsed to the ground with a thud. At that moment, Ye Xuan thought, she really did still love him. This love had seeped into her very bones, even though she had repeatedly told herself that Caesar was not a suitable lover, that he was willing to let go, and that she should stay far away.
Just as Caesar was willing to die for his sister, how could Ye Xuan possibly watch her brother leave her? If returning to him meant only mutual torment, Ye Xuan would accept it. Because she couldn't live without her brother, not even for a second.
But Caesar was resolute, unmoved by Ye Xuan's threats, inducements, and pleas in the letter. Ye Xuan picked up the messenger's letter with a wry smile: "Do I really have to chase him to the battlefield before he'll even glance at it?"
Anne's feelings towards Caesar were incredibly complex. Aside from a handful of Caesar's close confidants, she was the only one who knew about the illicit relationship between the siblings. Anne disliked Caesar, but her best friend deeply loved that man, so she could only silently support her. However… that cold-hearted man didn't harm her then; instead, he ordered Anne to be secretly taken away and sent back to the Marquis of the Netherlands' mansion.
After mercilessly killing Ray, he finally realized how much this had hurt Ye Xuan. Therefore, even though Annie's actions had thoroughly enraged him, he ultimately learned to restrain himself and did not kill her.
"Why did he lie to you back then?" Annie was still puzzled. If Caesar had told the truth, Ye Xuan wouldn't have mistakenly thought that Annie had been killed by him, and thus broken ties with him.
Ye Xuan shook her head without answering. She thought that Caesar had probably already decided to let go before that, and just hoped to make her hate him and stay far away from him. "He's actually a fool..." The girl looked up at her. He loved her clumsily, like a hedgehog covered in sharp quills, armored all over, but with a soft heart.
In the late spring of that year, the war finally came to an end.
The army returned in triumph, laden with spoils, and Ye Xuan was crowned Empress of Florence, the Ariane Empire, and its other territories and domains. Holding a golden scepter studded with diamonds and jewels, she donned a newly crafted, dazzling crown in the empire's largest cathedral, the Hagia Sophia.
The army entered the city at this moment. The knights in bright armor passed by the church, and the Duke of Valentino, who was leading the way, unconsciously reined in his warhorse. He saw the beautiful young woman on the high steps. She was wearing a magnificent dress, with a cardinal in red and courtiers in black guarding her on both sides. She walked down the steps like an elegant swan and walked gracefully toward him.
An unseen force propelled Caesar to dismount. The streets were packed with people, and amidst deafening cheers, he quickened his pace, drawing ever closer to Ye Xuan. Suddenly, Ye Xuan lifted her skirt. The ladies-in-waiting gasped involuntarily as the Queen dropped her scepter and ran towards Duke Valentino.
Her long skirt billowed like waves, and the girl's long hair flew wildly. Clang, clang, the church bells rang. Flocks of pigeons fluttered their wings, and in the dazzling warm sunlight, she, like a white dove throwing herself into his arms, embraced Caesar tightly.
"Do you love me, brother?"
These were words Ye Xuan had never uttered, even though she had answered Caesar's same question countless times.
Caesar looked at the girl, his lips moving slightly. Under Ye Xuan's slightly apprehensive gaze, the man's face flushed.
"I love...you." He said the word with some difficulty—a word he thought he would never say in this lifetime.
"I love you too." Ye Xuan stood on tiptoe and, under the gaze of countless eyes, kissed Caesar's lips.
============================================================
Happy ending!
In short, the next step was for the brother and sister to announce their relationship. If any fool dared to gossip, their army of fans would raze your house to the ground in no time. So, the two lived happily ever after. o(*￣▽￣*)o
The next story is about a woman who sleeps with an emperor; it's a younger man/older woman relationship, no palace intrigue, and the male lead is somewhat abnormal in a way [not really].
Thank you so much for all the pearls and comments, my little angels! (*￣3￣)╭
Come on, shower me with more pearls!
