The Empire's Number One Beauty

In the year 2000 of the Star Calendar, the emperor of the Blue and White Empire died of illness. The princes were young, and central authority fell apart.

The Rose Throne awaited its new master.

Hill Star lay far from the central star region. It was poor in resources and often mocked.

Yet its prince was stunningly beautiful, frail, and delicate. His vivid lips were like rose petals kissed, tempting all who saw them. He was without a doubt the most beautiful person in the empire.

"Hill Star can be spared the ravages of war, on the condition that they offer up their prince."

"If I take the throne, the Prince of Hill Star will be the finest ornament beside it."

"The day the Rose Throne is mine, I'll have Hill Star's beautiful little prince kiss it all over with his rose-colored lips."

"The Blue and White Star Region will surely bow beneath the Rose Throne, just as the Prince of Hill Star will surely be imprisoned in the new emperor's gilded cage."

Later, they discovered two insurmountable barriers standing in their way, keeping them from plucking that imperial rose.

First, at the Prince of Hill Star's side was always a mad dog who wagged its tail only for its master.

Second, beneath the prince's glittering, fragile exterior, as delicate as crystal, lay an exceptionally rare 3S-level mental power.

No one even had time to feel the legendary 3S-level mental power. They were all stopped dead at the first barrier,

then learned all too well what it meant for "a dog that doesn't bark to bite the hardest and hurt the most."

All they could do was gaze from afar, salivating, as that rose casually took the throne and bloomed ever more brilliantly.

When the mad dog sheathed its fangs and returned to its master, kneeling on one knee and silently, reverently wagging its tail as it presented its spoils,

the master would lean forward slightly from the throne, his soft fingertips tinged rose-pink gently stroking the dog's cheek. "My good dog, what reward would you like this time?"
