Alexander Caesar was called the Light of the Empire for his outstanding looks. But even more famous than his beauty was his unreliable personality, which had been obvious ever since he was a prince.
Surrounded by wolves, he still ascended the throne without a hitch.
The ministers of the empire were deeply worried.
As soon as he took the throne, His Majesty, who loved ancient Earth history, decided to add the names of every great person he had read about to his own. His full name became:
Alexander Gaius Charlemagne F. David Constantine Caesar.
The people: ...
The neighboring countries: ...
Tensions erupted between the nobles and meritorious families on one side, and the common people on the other.
The nobles demanded that their families continue to enjoy special treatment, while the ministers wailed that the people could barely get by!
As both sides argued without end, the new emperor propped his chin on his hand and said leisurely, "Isn't the problem just that there's not enough land? There's so much out there. Why not take some?"
And so, a solution was found to the chronic problem that had plagued two generations of monarchs.
The ministers: ...?
The neighboring countries: ???
As the Kailan Empire encroached right up to its doorstep, the weak Rorlus Empire finally couldn't take it anymore. It sent its strongest knight, Arthur, to kill that damn emperor.
Having heard that the emperor was obsessed with balls, Arthur decided to disguise himself as a woman and seize the opportunity to assassinate him.
On the night of the ball, Arthur approached with a dagger tucked beneath his skirt. But before he could make a move, a bunch of idiots came rushing out of nowhere.
The assassins shouted, "For Rorlus!"
Caesar: "Oh, Rorlus."
Arthur: ...
If the assassination failed, he could at least have let them take the blame! Why drag Arthur into it?
Forced to step in and capture the assassins to protect the damn emperor, Arthur had to find out who they were.
The emperor, who had been fretting over his upcoming wedding, lit up. "My beauty, you've earned merit protecting me. I happen to be short a queen, so why don't you marry me?"
Arthur: ???
Caesar: "I fell in love with my queen at first sight. One queen for life is enough for me. I'll build her a palace, construct her a retreat, and hold a grand wedding!"
The ministers: "Wicked beauty!"
Arthur: ... No need for all that!
And so Arthur was forced into the palace, where every day he had to put on makeup and dresses, deal with the brainless emperor who did whatever popped into his head, and even manage the imperial harem from time to time, all while being targeted by noblewomen who wanted to become empress.
Arthur: ...
A cross-dressing assassin constantly on the verge of snapping x a gorgeous, unreliable emperor who's a total jerk
Tip:
A silly space opera. Don't take it seriously~
Especially the protagonist's catchy, imposing, over-the-top name. Crouch down, cover your head, and crawl away.
