This was an era where men ruled and women had low status.
Here, men supported the family. Only men could become nobles and men were the ones governing the nation.
The men here worked like animals, every single one of them was tenacious and tough.
The protagonist of this book was the Emperor of Britland.
Because the Emperor of this empire, Ethan Bates Britland, loved his childhood sweetheart, Julia Holt very much.
He married Julia into the castle at the age of sixteen but after three years of marriage, Julia still didn't get pregnant.
He didn't want another woman while also not wanting Julia to be accused by the people for not being able to procreate with the Emperor.¹
Thinking day and night, the Emperor finally decided to marry some women in name to appease the nobles and people.
From noble daughters to talented women all over the empire, sixteen women were chosen.
In Emperor Ethan's eyes, his wife Julian was sweet and naive. How could she know how to handle the sixteen wimen?²
Of course, He had to choose a smart and clever woman to handle the trivial matters of the women for him.
Lancey White is the flexible and clever woman Emperor Ethan chose.
With Lancey in charge of the internal affairs of the castle, Emperor Ethan concentrated on Marquis Arthur Banes Britland, her older brother and arch-enemy.
Julia, being the adoring wife, also assisted Emperor Ethan with a brilliant thought.
Why don't they arrange Lancey and Marquis Arthur in an affair? As Julia explained, "Lancey isn't a good person, she killed two servants just for being lazy!"
Emperor Ethan set up the cunning Lancey and his brother and banished them both to the North with Julia's assistance.
A royal romance novel should have ended here, but six months later after Arthur and Lancey were exiled.
In just two days, the protagonist of this world attacked the northern cities and killed more than 6,000 people, including Arthur.
This sparked a revolt among the nobles and the public of the empire, which eventually led to a civil war between the nobles and the royal family.
The protagonist was killed, and the Britland Empire was destroyed in less than two years.
This ended the storyline memory.
...
Lance who thought that was the end was about to sit up when another pain hit his head.
…..
Lancelot White was born in a neutral Duke family, his father never opposing the Emperor.
If Emperor Ethan said that the sun came from the north, Lancelot's father would believe it came from the north.
He was the illegitimate child of the White Family when the Master of the house slept with a maid.
When Lance grew up in such an environment where his father didn't like him for being a boy and dressed him up as a girl.
And his mother cried all day, he turned out to be both beautiful and clever with a honey-tongued mouth.⁶
Such a person who always sucked up to the strong was chosen by Emperor Ethan to manage the "harem" of his.
To sum it up, I made you my wife now do whatever I say.
If it was just like this, Lancelot White wouldn't have such a huge grievance, he was rather happy that the Emperor would not touch him.
His secret of being a man would be hidden forever.
It's just that he never expected that Emperor Ethan would become suspicious of him because of Julia's words.
And in the end, because of some unwarranted evidence, that he had slept with Marquis Arthur even though he was a man.
He was thrown into the cold north by royal law.
Lancelot was also a little disappointed, he, who had sworn to not love anyone had fallen in love with the Emperor.
After that, he was disappointed and soon became seriously ill.
Before his death, the Northern Marquis Arthur had told him the truth after he investigated himself.
After listening to the Marquiss's words, Lancelot White passed away in shock, the message was simple: The Emperor did it.
The person he loved the most, killed him.
.....
After reading both the memories, Lance's headache was relieved a lot.
The Guidance System's voice sighed as well and spoke:
[Ding! Mr. Lance! Once the Player gets near ten meters of the mission target, the mission will begin.]
This mission requirement was also expected by him, but Lance is a little surprised: "Doesn't Lancelot want to take revenge on Ethan and Julia?"
The Guidance System scoffed: [Ding! He didn't want to do anything with this world anymore so we provided his soul to a modern world in compensation.]
"So the original Lancelot won't be coming back." Lance half-smiled, "So what do you guys get from forcing me to do these missions?"
The Guidance System said after being silent for a few seconds, but his tone sounded incomprehensible⁸:
[Ding! Insufficient Authority! Player please focus on the mission.]
It seems that the company of this system is very experienced, he needed more authority.
Lance sat up from the bed and looked around seeing that the dark room was slowly being illuminated by sunlight.
"What's Lance's status now?" He had spoken to the Guidance System in this room for so long, but no one appeared to wake him up.
[Ding! The host is now at a point in time after Lancelot White was chosen as the Emperor's wife, his identity as a man is still hidden.]
As soon as the Guidance System's voice fell, he heard a slight noise of a door opening, and then someone pushing open the door and entering.
"Lord Lancelot, are you awake?" The person who came in was a woman in maid's clothing, and he seemed very surprised to see that he had woken up.
