Zosia: Quick Transmigration System
Chapter 94 - 92- Arc 3

Zosia and Karl arrived back at the Estate.

"Do you think I should go and bath first before meeting them?" Zosia asked with a frown.

Karl blinked, unsure if he should answer the question.

"Why don't you go first to know why you are being called?"

Zosia took a deep breath. She decided to go see them first. Taking over the handle of the wheel chair, they both walked towards Adrian's study.

Arriving at the study room after being greeted by all the servants, guards and the likes they saw on their way here.

Karl pushed open the wooden decorative door that weighed heavier than lead.

"Greetings to the Great Sun, The Emperor." They both greeted at the same time.

During her stay under Adrian's care, she was still communicating with the Emperor. Sometimes she would send him tea leaves.

There was a time they had something to do in the Capital and she sneakily went back to see him after receiving some unhappy news.

The Empress Dowgar had been relentless, looking for ways to make her son — Duke Chrisen be more outstanding than the Emperor, refusing to go back to the temple and trying to throw mud on the Emperor's name.

If she hadn't passed through a village under a Baron's jurisdiction during her adventure with her uncle and Karl, she wouldn't have known that the villagers were suffering from drought and disease. The government had not provided any relief, as the Baron had told the villagers that the Emperor had instructed them to go and die.

She knew that the Emperor couldn't say such, so it was definitely the mechanitions of someone's handiwork.

"Sia... Come here." The Emperor called out to his daughter with a smile.

He looked like he had just won a lottery. Picking her up like he used, he sat her on his laps.

"You didn't take a wash before coming to see me?" Aaron blinked as he looked at his daughter who was sniffing herself.

"I knew I should have taken a wash." Zosia muttered while Karl lowered his head, reducing his presence.

Smiling sheepishly Zosia looked at Aaron, "Do I smell that bad?"

"No, not that." He immediately responded.

"How could the Princess of Roza Empire smell bad? Whoever said that is lying, don't believe them, Alright."

He patted his daughter head with a smile.

Adrian who was watching the scene felt like vomiting. What is this? His brother was treating his daughter like she was some fragile glass.

He had seen her break skulls, alright.

He scoffed, "Brother, since you would be with her throughout the remaining years, you can do" he paused, using his hand as a gesture, "Whatever pampering you need to do later."

"Huh?" Zosia turned to look at the Emperor with a confused look.

"Am I going back to the Palace?"

" You don't want to go back?" The Emperor asked in return.

Zosia smiled awkwardly. Just thinking about the little schemes that occur daily in the palace, she knew she would be using her brain juice more than ever.

She shivered just at the thought of meeting those slippery snakes. She could already hear them hissing in her ear, either with insults or flattery.

"Um—"

"You'd have to go back with me. And don't think you are going there to slack off. Your training will still commence as always but this time you will be more invested into learning politics and everything that has to do with the throne."

Zosia face whipped to the side as she met the serious gaze of the Emperor.

"He is not joking, does he plan to make me the Empress?" She thought Inwardly.

Zosia wasn't the only one surprised, even Karl was. He turned to look at his father, he didn't notice any hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It seems my guess was correct. So that means I made the right bet." He thought inwardly, his gaze turning back to his cousin who was staring at the Emperor with a look of shock on his face.

"Dad..." Zosia called out gently and cautiously. "Are you?"

"Yes. I plan to make you the Empress. Do you not like it?" The Emperor asked with an expressionless face.

Zosia knew that despite the fact that the Emperor treated her well and would protect her with all he had, though she doesn't understand why.

Well, if she had analyzed all the children under the Emperor, maybe she would have been able to guess why.

Despite that, she knew the Emperor wasn't someone that liked variables in his plan but that didn't matter now.

The problem was how should she answer the question.

She has to avoid the question, and she definitely can't say no or yes.

According to her pitiful knowledge, she knew that saying either of them could lead to a wrong reaction or misunderstanding.

"Dad... Are you dying? Did they poison you?" Tear drops fell from her eyes as she panicked, touching the Emperor all over his chest including bringing down his lower eyelids to check if there was something wrong.

Holding his daughter wandering hands in a grip, he smiled, "No, I am just preparing you for the obvious."

"Go pack your things, we would be leaving immediately." Aaron order.

"Dad, can't we just leave tomorrow. It's been long since you had a good time with your Brother, isn't it nice spending today together.

You can even try the new wine I made." Zosia eyes sparkled as she suggested.

"What mischief is she planning now." Karl thought inwardly.

Adrian turned to look at his niece. He wasn't against the suggestion and he really liked her tea.

He had seen her planting it and how she spent her time each day taking care of it by the window side.

If he didn't know whom her mother was, he would surely commend the woman for teaching her some skills.

Even if Zosia ends up not being the Empress, she could survive. He didn't think, her not being the Empress was possible.

Anybody who sat on that throne other than her would first have to beat her till she thoroughly accepts, else she would be like an invisible ant.

It stings, yet you can't see it to kill it.

Aaron turned to look at his brother, seeing that he wasn't against it, he sighed.

"Alright. Just get ready as we would be leaving tomorrow morning.... Very early." He made sure to enunciate the word very early.

Zosia smiled. As for why she delayed their departure, she needed time to scan through all those books that were forbidden for her to touch and she must do it this night.

Her eyes held a hint of determination. Throughout her stay here, she had gotten more information than she had ever thought.

Especially on Martial artist and the history before their decline.

Going back to the palace aligned with her wish perfectly, though at the same time, she hates dealing with those cunny idiots.

"Let me go and get the wine and have the Kitchen make a sumptuous meal."

Zosia was not really a good cook but she also wasn't that bad and could make simple dishes that wouldn't kill you.

Her cooking skills had gotten a notch better with Maritza help. Now she could even make banquet dishes but... With guidance.

Skipping in her steps, she left for the kitchen leaving Aaron, Adrian and Karl in the study.

Aaron watched as Zosia left before turning to Karl.

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter." Aaron said with a smile.

Karl bowed slightly. "It was my duty and my pleasure, Your Majesty."

Aaron nodded in appreciation, "Just call me Uncle."

Karl nodded, "Uncle."

Aaron smiled before his gaze shifted to Adrian. "Brother, it's been too long since we had a moment to ourselves. How are things faring here?"

Adrian leaned back in his chair, eyes studying Aaron intently. "Busy, as always. Especially since you made me come out." He said in a slightly blaming tone.

His brother had returned to using him as the hidden hand to uproot some things that shouldn't exist.

"Indeed," Aaron replied, his tone reflective.

"And with Zosia coming back to the palace, things will undoubtedly become more complicated."

Adrian raised an eyebrow. "You really intend to train her for the throne?" Even though his brother had told him about it before, he still asked to be sure.

Aaron's eyes hardened with resolve. "Yes. She is my—" he didn't complete his sentence. " Just know that, She has the intelligence, the strength, and the will to lead. The Empire needs someone like her, and you know it?"

Karl sat silently by the side, listening intently to every word, but at the same time, he was unsure of if to leave or stay. The magnitude of what was being discussed was overwhelming. The weight of the Empire's future was being placed on Zosia's shoulders, and by extension, they were her protectors.

"Does she know?" Adrian asked, his voice softer now, as if treading on delicate ground.

"She does. She is smart enough to realize that." Aaron said with a smirk, "Just that I haven't told her yet. Still I need her to grow into the role naturally, to understand the complexities of ruling without the pressure of an immediate coronation."

Adrian nodded slowly. "It's a wise approach. Zosia is strong, but she's also young. She needs time to learn and grow."

Aaron sighed, the weight of his responsibilities showing briefly in his eyes. "I just hope I have enough time to prepare her."

The study fell silent, the gravity of their conversation hanging in the air.

After a moment, Aaron broke the silence. "Let's not dwell on heavy matters. Tell me more about this wine Zosia mentioned. She's always been full of surprises."

Adrian chuckled, the tension easing. "Ah, her wine. She's quite proud of it. It's a blend of local berries and herbs she's cultivated herself. Remarkable, really. I never expected her to take such an interest in horticulture."

......

Few hours later...

Zosia entered back into the study. "The food is ready."

Zosia led the way to the dining table while Karl put his wheel chair on automatic.

They arrived at the dining table and quickly sat down.

Zosia poured the wine into their cups.

"Cheers." Adrian raised his cup to a toast, "Cheers to the family and to the Empire."

Others did the same and they delved into their meal.

"This... Is good. Sia... How many more bottles do you have in stock?" Aaron asked, "You never sent me one."

"I made it recently, so apart from the first time we tasted it. I don't have much."

As they enjoyed the meal, the older men drank more of the wine, ending up drunk. Karl was slightly drunk

Zosia glanced at them, seeing how drunk they are, she patted her stomach.

"I am so full and sleepy. I also feel sticky." She complained.

"Ooh... Go.. go." Adrian waved at Zosia, allowing her to go.

Zosia bowed and stood up. "It sure does have a lot of alcoholic content." She thought inwardly.

Due to her constitution, she couldn't get drunk, so even if she drank a bottle alone, she would still be okay.

She wasn't sure if they were pretending, so for safety sake, she decided to use the invisible talisman.

"Sigh! I am using such an expensive thing to steal... no, to peruse through the knowledge contained in those books."

Zosia waited till midnight before she started her operation scan the books.

....

By the time she was done and returned back to her room. Zosia's mood was not that great. Standing by the window and gazing at the beautiful moon in the sky, she allowed her thoughts to roam.

"So I am the Emperor's only child. Now, I understand his reason." Zosia muttered under her breath.

But, why did he let himself be cuckold?

The answer to such a question was still a mystery to her.
