Chapter 87

The next day, the bill that Tang Cheng had revised was not actually issued, for a very simple reason: the queen was sick.

No one knew what illness the queen had, but it was known that she was very ill. According to the maid, the queen found it difficult to even get out of bed today, so she would be resting at home for the next few days, unable to attend to state affairs and declining to see visitors.

This news caused the newly appointed officials a great deal of headache. The new political system had only been established for one day, and the queen was already ill. This was not a good omen. Although there were no major issues at the moment, there were still many state affairs that needed to be handled, and most of these required the queen's approval before they could proceed.

After all, with a madman like Tang Cheng watching over them, if they bypassed the queen and things went well, it would be fine, but if they went wrong, the consequences could be dire, possibly even fatal for their entire families.

In the end, they had no choice but to go back and consult the former nobles... In fact, not all nobles were fat, lazy, and useless. Most of them had some capabilities, and because they were familiar with the procedures, they could handle things more smoothly, at least more reliably than these newly appointed officials.

The reason they had not accomplished much in the past was simply due to their interests; they did not want to do it. Now that they had lost both their interests and their power, these new officials naturally would not leave them alone. They had to make them work for free, and at the same time, get them familiar with their future duties.

With a butcher like Tang Cheng stationed by the queen's side, they did not dare to be the least bit careless.

What puzzled these new officials was why the queen, who was fine yesterday, was suddenly ill today.

Perhaps it was due to the immense pressure. Although the queen was indeed very capable, she was ultimately just a fifteen-year-old girl. Suddenly bearing the weight of the entire human race on her shoulders, it was only natural that she could not handle it... Thinking of this, they no longer had any doubts and began to handle state affairs seriously.

It was rare to have a place in this new political system, and they wanted to show their best.

So, to the question everyone was concerned about, what exactly was the queen's illness?

"Come, open your mouth and take the medicine." In the bedroom of the queen's palace, a haggard Sesteria lay on the bed, while Tang Cheng sat beside her, poking her cheek and then putting a pill in her mouth, saying with disdain, "You really can't take it, can you? After just one night, you're already broken. How are you going to have children if you're this fragile?"

Sesteria felt both embarrassed and angry. She was not made of iron, and doing it over ten times in one night, especially when she was still a virgin, was too much for anyone... Of course, she could never say such things out loud, so she just glared at the man with a resentful expression.

"Too bitter..." Swallowing the pill, a bitter taste spread in her mouth, causing the young woman... no, the young wife to frown slightly.

"Bitter?" Tang Cheng was slightly taken aback, recalling, "I remember this medicine isn't bitter. The instructions even say it has the taste of Tetra Pak milk. If you find it bitter, it must be because you've had too much bitter stuff."

Sesteria felt that Tang Cheng was hinting at something. She instinctively thought of the bitter and numbing taste she had been forced to drink last night, which still lingered in her mouth. She felt ashamed and immediately lay down, covering her head with the blanket like an ostrich.

"Well, it's not a big deal. You'll get used to it after a few more times." Tang Cheng, lacking any sense of shame, calmly recounted his own history, "When I lived with a girl before, I didn't like it at first, but after a while, I found it delicious. Then, I couldn't go a day without it... Speaking of which, your taste is better than hers, probably because you're younger and more tender. You're more refreshing..."

"Get out! I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Sesteria suddenly threw a pillow at Tang Cheng... What kind of person was this, saying such shameless things? Not only that, but he even mentioned other women in front of her.

What a lunatic!

Tang Cheng felt very puzzled. He was only being kind and comforting her since he had "broken" her. Not only did she not appreciate it, but she even threw a pillow at him... Didn't she know that a pillow had no power? If she wanted to throw something, she should have thrown a machete or something, that would have been more fun.

Despite his thoughts, Tang Cheng was not angry. He got up and walked away, "Rest well..."

Halfway out, he suddenly remembered something and stopped, turning back to ask, "By the way, you said your royal family has a method that guarantees pregnancy if the man ejaculates inside. Is that true?"

Hearing this, Sesteria gently lifted the blanket, revealing her beautiful eyes, but she turned her back to Tang Cheng and responded in a soft voice, "...Yes."

"Really? Can you teach me?"

"No, it's a power that only those with the Reiss family bloodline possess."

"What a terrible bloodline ability." Tang Cheng couldn't help but comment. He had never heard that the Reiss family had such a power, but he didn't really doubt it. The stranger something was, the more he believed it.

With the existence of time travel, a bloodline that guarantees pregnancy upon ejaculation was nothing to doubt.

Then he turned and left.

Tang Cheng didn't see Sesteria's expression, or he would have noticed the guilty look in her eyes.

After leaving the queen's palace, Tang Cheng immediately saw Ymir. Before he could greet her, the freckled girl ran up to him angrily and demanded, "What did you do to Historia?!"

"Nothing much." Tang Cheng shrugged, indifferent, "Just rolled around in bed with her all night, letting her fully experience the pleasure of being a woman, and broke her in the process. Why are you so worked up about it?"

"You scumbag!" Ymir's face turned pale with anger, her teeth grinding, "Historia is only fifteen years old. She's so young, and you... you did that to her. You're a beast! A scumbag! A monster!"

Tang Cheng was not angry, just smiled, "Although her body is indeed small, almost like a lolicon, fifteen is not that young. In some anime, girls younger and smaller than her can fight with hundreds of men for days and nights, awakening the attribute of a sex toy and living happily ever after... Historia's constitution is better than theirs, and I gave her a Tetra Pak milk, so don't worry. By tonight, she'll be ready to fight me for three hundred rounds again."

"You..." Ymir was almost speechless with anger.

Tang Cheng patted her shoulder and continued, "By the way, I plan to reorganize a military police force to handle internal security. You will be the commander, and you can also live in the queen's palace to keep Historia company. You're not very useful in the Survey Corps anyway, and this way, you can avoid exposing your Titan power. Don't you think that's a good idea?"

"How... how did you know?" Ymir's face changed, but this time it was from fear, not anger. No one should have known about her Titan power.

But Tang Cheng did not answer, just smiled and left.

Ymir did not dare to pursue further and quickly ran into the queen's palace.

Entering the bedroom, she found someone lying in bed and called out softly, "Historia?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the person on the bed turned to look at her, surprised and a bit embarrassed, "Ymir, why are you here?"

"I heard you were sick, so I came to see you. How are you feeling?"

"I'm... I'm fine. And please call me Sesteria. Didn't you say you wanted me to live with my real name?"

"Okay." Ymir nodded and, when she reached the bed, took advantage of Sesteria's distraction to pull the blanket off. Instantly, the fifteen-year-old young wife's body, covered in white stains, and her swollen lower body were exposed, causing Ymir's face to darken.

"Ah!" Sesteria, coming to her senses, instinctively arched her body, covering her chest with her hands.

Then, Ymir noticed that the young wife's buttocks were also swollen, and her lips were slightly swollen as well. There were also white stains on her mouth and face, similar to those on her body.

In an instant, Ymir's body began to tremble violently.

"That damn scumbag, I'm going to kill him!"

As she spoke, Ymir rushed out like the wind.

"Hey! My blanket..."

Sesteria watched as Ymir took the blanket with her, feeling helpless.
