SGT CH61: Does Your Majesty wish to enjoy me?

◎This was an extremely possessive posture, carrying a strong declaration of sovereignty.◎

Without a female releasing pheromones, he would not release his own.

The Tianjia Emperor did not understand the meaning of this sentence, but he instinctively found it strange.

This sentence could be interpreted as: as long as a female expressed affection for the Empress Consort and sent a request for intimacy, the Empress Consort would agree.

This was also what the Tianjia Emperor had always believed.

His Empress Consort was amorous and promiscuous, falling for every new person he saw.

As long as there were other females around his Empress Consort, the synchronized pheromone monitor on his terminal would be blaring warnings non-stop.

The day after their wedding, the Tianjia Emperor had just left the Empress Consort’s chambers to handle political affairs when the terminal on his wrist chimed with a notification of rising pheromone levels.

The Tianjia Emperor’s mind went blank.

He abandoned a group of key military officials and rushed to the back palace with a dark expression.

There, he saw the Empress Consort sitting before a vanity mirror, enveloped by the head attendant’s body, with a dozen other attendants waiting nearby.

The entire bedchamber was filled with entangled pheromones.

Releasing pheromones was the Tianjia way of expressing affection and making courtship requests.

The pheromones released by the Empress Consort were like a simultaneous response to the courtship requests of every female present.

The Tianjia Emperor nearly went mad with anger.

His SSS-class pheromones suddenly erupted, the powerful hierarchical suppression forcing all the attendants to their knees.

The Empress Consort rose from the vanity mirror and asked him with an innocent face why he had returned.

Why had he returned?

If he didn’t return, was he supposed to just let his Empress Consort be intimate with the attendants in the palace?

With a dozen attendants at once, no less. His Empress Consort was truly energetic.

The Tianjia Emperor was so angry he nearly coughed up blood.

He dismissed all the attendants, pinned the Empress Consort against the vanity mirror, and personally satisfied his Empress Consort.

After that day, the Tianjia Emperor replaced all the attendants around the Empress Consort with smart robot attendants.

But he hadn’t expected that to be just the beginning.

His Empress Consort was extremely affectionate with everyone.

Tailors, tutors, personal guards, chefs, and even gardeners—he generously released his pheromones, hoping for a romantic encounter with them.

Every time he heard the notification of rising pheromones, the Tianjia Emperor’s heart felt as if it were being twisted by a knife.

Sometimes he could rush back in time to drive away the females surrounding the Empress Consort.

Other times… he couldn’t immediately return to the Empress Consort’s side.

He couldn’t even contact the Empress Consort.

Actually, it didn’t make much of a difference.

Even if he successfully rushed back, there would always be a next time.

Since ancient times, the Tianjia have always had more females than males. To ensure the continuation of the species, males needed to mate with as many females as possible.

This was a genetic instinct.

The Tianjia Emperor was well aware of this, so he never got angry at the Empress Consort.

He would only transfer the females around him away, one after another, replacing them with intelligent machines.

He would only try to satisfy the Empress Consort as much as possible to drain his energy.

However, an S-class male was practically a perpetual motion machine.

Unless he kept the Empress Consort by his side without a moment’s pause, constantly depleting his energy, the Empress Consort would always have the chance to find other females.

The Tianjia Emperor had never expected his possessiveness over the Empress Consort to be so strong.

Before this, he had been a proponent of allocating males to all females according to rank and gender ratio.

Perhaps it was the pregnancy hormones that were making him lose control.

During pregnancy, a female’s genetic instinct was also to do everything possible to attract a male’s attention, keep the male by her side, and obtain as many pheromones as possible.

When his mind was clouded by jealousy, the Tianjia Emperor would even have the despicable thought that it would be better if the Empress Consort’s rank were lower.

C-class, or maybe even E-class.

That way, the Empress Consort’s energy would only be enough for him.

There would be no energy left to find other females.

…

But, what if, his long-held assumption was wrong?

What if the Empress Consort released pheromones for another reason?

That sentence from the Empress Consort could also be interpreted as: as long as he senses female pheromones, he will instinctively release his own in response.

The Tianjia Emperor had never heard of such a case.

It was like a medical condition.

“Why does Your Majesty keep staring at me?”

Mousse was puzzled. “Is there something improper about my attire?”

“No…”

A person with normal emotional intelligence would have praised their partner’s fashion sense and aura at this point, but there were no females among the Tianjia whose emotional intelligence reached a standard level.

“I was just thinking about something.”

Fortunately, the Tianjia Emperor’s emotional intelligence wasn’t so low as to directly say, “I think you have a disease.”

“Oh, alright, Your Majesty who is busy with a myriad of state affairs.”

Mousse looked away, cupped his face with one hand, and made a casual joke:

“I thought you were captivated by me.”

The Tianjia Emperor paused for a moment, then said, “I am.”

“Huh?” Mousse suspected he had misunderstood.

The Tianjia Emperor said seriously, “I am captivated by you.”

Captivated, fascinated, infatuated, addicted.

The Tianjia Emperor believed this described his feelings for the Empress Consort.

Mousse was stunned, utterly confused.

“Does Your Majesty say this because you wish to have me?”

Mousse asked with a frown, adding with some hesitation:

“Now is not a suitable time. After the banquet ends, I can serve Your Majesty.”

The Tianjia Emperor replied, “I am not asking you to serve me.”

Although he did like him and did hope the Empress Consort would expend his energy on him, he hadn’t said that to gain anything, but rather to state a fact.

Mousse was even more bewildered.

In his experience, when females said similar things to him, it was often accompanied by a release of pheromones, and the meaning was that they wanted him.

Other females were like this, and the Tianjia Emperor was like this too.

Mousse had rejected many similar requests from females, but unfortunately, they all seemed to have comprehension problems.

Every single one of them thought he was just playing hard to get, that he really wanted to be with them.

Even if they would be torn apart by the furious Tianjia Emperor afterward, they still wanted to satisfy him.

Risking their lives for a beauty.

That’s what the mental waves Mousse read told him.

Mousse’s reaction: “???”

Fortunately, most of the time, before he could get angry, the Tianjia Emperor would appear and drive those females away.

At those times, Mousse knew the Tianjia Emperor was monitoring him.

There were also times when the Tianjia Emperor was away and couldn’t rush back.

In those situations, Mousse had to leave before the females could react.

If he was unlucky enough to get entangled, he had to use methods like mental suggestion to escape.

Mousse couldn’t understand why the females were so confident that he wanted to be with them.

Weren’t his rejections and resistance obvious enough?

Just as he didn’t understand why the Tianjia Emperor, who clearly wanted to sleep with him, would say he didn’t want him to serve.

As he pondered, they arrived in front of the banquet hall.

Even before entering, they could hear the noisy chatter inside.

At the Emperor’s request, all the Tianjia attending the banquet had been injected with pheromone inhibitors and had brought their own males.

The banquet hall was very lively.

Males were mostly shy, especially of unfamiliar females.

In situations with many strange females, they would either desperately burrow into their female partner’s arms or get scared and try to run away.

The result was the same either way.

Before the male could escape, the physically stronger and faster-reacting female would grab him and hold him firmly by her side.

When Mousse entered the banquet hall, what he saw was a scene of females either holding a male or grabbing one.

In short, no female would let a male leave her side.

“If you’re scared, you can come into my arms,” the Tianjia Emperor said in a low voice.

“Your Majesty, I don’t think there is any danger here.”

Mousse’s gaze remained fixed on the restrained males.

There were only so many high-ranking males in the empire, and they had all been raised together in the male nursery, so they were not strangers to each other.

Mousse knew all the males present, except for a few older ones.

There was the timid and clingy Guy, Joshua who hated physical contact, Jimmy who would cry whenever he got nervous…

Mousse was suddenly pulled by the shoulder by the Tianjia Emperor, drawn to his side.

This was an extremely possessive gesture, carrying a strong message of declaring sovereignty.

Mousse looked up in confusion at the Tianjia Emperor’s face and noticed his expression was very poor.

If it were just a normal declaration of sovereignty, his face shouldn’t look this awful, right?

“Is Your Majesty feeling unwell?” Mousse asked.

“No, I am fine.”

The Tianjia Emperor’s voice was steady, not letting any Tianjia discover that he had almost ground his back teeth to dust.

Even though he had made all the females take pheromone inhibitors and even bring their own males, the moment his Empress Consort entered the banquet hall, his entire attention was captured by other females.

The Tianjia Emperor gripped the Empress Consort’s shoulder tightly and said:

“Sisi, don’t forget what you promised me.”

Not to release pheromones towards other females.

“Of course.”

Mousse added silently in his heart: As long as the females’ pheromone inhibitors are reliable.

The Emperor and Empress Consort entered the banquet hall together.

The military and political ministers present immediately came forward to greet the Tianjia Emperor and Empress Consort according to their rank and position.

“Sacred peace to Your Majesty, sacred peace to Your Highness the Empress Consort.”

A tall, red-haired Tianjia bowed to the Tianjia Emperor and Empress Consort with perfect etiquette.

However, his arm was still being tightly hugged by a male wearing a red cloak, pretending to be a mushroom, which made the gesture look slightly comical.

All Tianjia knew how sensitive and fragile males were, especially when facing powerful, unfamiliar Tianjia females.

No one would criticize a female Tianjia who was taking care of a male.

Just as no one would have any expectations for the males attending the banquet.

The Tianjia Emperor nodded slightly and introduced to Mousse:

“This is General Enoch of the First Legion, and his male consort…”

What was his name again?

“Guy,” Mousse called out.

The male pretending to be a mushroom hanging on the general’s arm moved his head, like a mushroom lifting its cap, revealing the small face under the hood.

The moment he saw Mousse, the male’s big, shiny eyes widened, and he exclaimed:

“Mumu!”

“What? Mumu? Where’s Mumu?”

From behind, a male who had been hiding under a female’s coat poked his head out.

“Where, where? Wow, it really is Mumu! Let go of me, I want to go to Mumu.”

The young males present burst into an uproar.

The males, who had been avoiding unfamiliar Tianjia females—especially a SSS-class female like the Tianjia Emperor with his powerful aura—now actively surged towards the Tianjia Emperor and the Empress Consort.

The older males also craned their necks curiously, trying to follow.

The military and political ministers, worried about being impolite, tried to hold back their males, only to be met with resistance.

Although a female’s strength could easily overpower a male, a female would never use heavy force on her own male, so the scene descended into chaos.

Mousse, worried that the males might get hurt, quickly said:

“Your Majesty, I haven’t seen my friends in a long time and miss them very much. Please let me take them to the lounge area to sit for a while and catch up.”

This was also the first time the Tianjia Emperor had seen such a scene. Hearing the Empress Consort’s request and trusting that he could handle it, he nodded. “Go ahead. Call me if you need anything.”

With the Tianjia Emperor’s approval, the military and political ministers naturally stopped restraining the males.

Those who were still a bit worried brought their males to the Empress Consort, very embarrassedly entrusting their males to his care.

Afterward, they would give their males detailed instructions, making it seem as if they were sending the males on a long journey.

Mousse: “…”

The lounge area was in the banquet hall, just about twenty steps away and visible with a glance.

After quite a bit of fuss, Mousse finally managed to lead the males to the lounge area.

“I want Mumu’s tentacles to pat my head.”

Guy hugged Mousse’s arm and pressed his head against it.

“Me too, me too.”

“Shh, let’s do it quietly so they don’t know.”

“I also secretly brought some yummy cookies. My female partner doesn’t know. They’re all for Mumu.”

A certain military general, who “didn’t know” his male consort had stuffed two boxes of raspberry-flavored cookies in his left pocket: “…”

A colleague even quietly asked him what kind of cookies they were that were so popular with males.

The Tianjia Emperor had mixed feelings.

Good news: his Empress Consort did not release pheromones to other females, nor did he pay attention to other females.

Bad news: his Empress Consort was whisked away by a group of males.

That group of males was all crowded around his Empress Consort, asking for hugs and pats.

New good news: he now knew his Empress Consort liked to eat raspberry cookies.
