OFFICIAL DECLARATION

"NIKOLAI, do you trust me?"

"Of course," Nikolai answered Mona's question without missing a beat while holding his wife's hand. After Mona's nose bled badly, he begged her to take a break. Hence, right now, Mona was on the bed while taking a much-needed rest. "What do you want me to do, Mona?"

Even though Mona had become the empress the moment they got married, his wife didn't gain that much power compared to his authority as the emperor.

Moreover, both Nikolai and Mona had already started the delegation of work to Nero and Hanna who would soon succeed as the new emperor and the empress, respectively. Hence, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had more power than the empress.

[That's why Mona needs to borrow my power as the emperor if she needs to mobilize people under my authority.]

"My love, hoards of reanimated corpses would soon attack the Imperial Capital."
