My wife is an immortal black snake.

“I spend a few years at Saint-Germain every now and then, and then I go home for a few years every now and then.”

"No."

Koschei used her tail to pull her husband onto the bed, and then, ignoring Monica's stunned gaze, she began to undress her screaming husband.

Chapter 158

4 month 25 day.

The ponies of Kazimierz officially began their work. Meanwhile, Yang Hao, after idly chatting with His Majesty the Emperor all morning and inexplicably discovering that the Emperor's affection for him seemed to have increased somewhat, was now lying on his wife's belly, lamenting his own boredom while enjoying the warmth emanating from her lower abdomen.

"Waaah... Koschke... I'm so tired..."

"Yes, yes, darling, you've already tried your best."

"I want to just throw my phone away, but His Majesty the Emperor comes over every day..."

“You’ve already tried your best…can you relax a little? Here, have something to eat—Monica?”

"Yes, my lord."

Kosiché smiled wryly, trying to comfort her husband, whose mental age was almost being forced back to that of a child by His Majesty the Emperor. Although this was the audience hall, and the way her husband was slumped over the chair was truly unsightly—this trust, which only she could feel, still made Kosiché feel very happy.

of course.

Monica was watching from the side, and she had just cleverly informed the waiter outside when Yang Hao was about to break down under pressure—

Lord Koschche is resting now. Please do not enter unless absolutely necessary.

Koschke could already picture Monica's utterly helpless expression... but oh well. What did it matter if the head maid had to work a little harder?

Thinking of this, Kosichrie closed her eyes helplessly, gently stroking Yang Hao's hair to comfort him. At the same time, her restless tail had somehow slipped inside his clothes...

"Lord Kosiché, please have some self-respect... Even if Lord Yang Hao is too tired to resist now, it's only 10:20 in the morning... You still have work to do."

Returning with drinks and desserts, Monica watched Koschei's little antics with utter helplessness. She smiled wryly, thinking, "These two are probably going to do this in public next," while also feeling a pang of envy for Koschei's ability to so easily possess Yang Hao's affections...

However, the elegant and earnest head maid would not let her personal feelings interfere with her work. She simply respectfully placed the plates of sweets and drinks in front of the two masters and then began to observe the exhausted Lord Yang Hao.

"Master Yang Hao..."

"Shh...he's asleep."

"Eh?"

“He’s been so exhausted lately. The mental stress of chatting with His Majesty the Emperor is greater than the stress of his actual work.” Lady Koschie gazed at Yang Hao’s face, who was now asleep on her stomach, with a tenderness Monica had never seen before. “Let him rest for a while. He’ll wake up in about half an hour.”

"My lord..."

"Ah, the longer you spend with him, the more you'll naturally understand his various preferences and his personalities. Just like how you, Monica, know that your master likes to pat the Kuranta people's butts all the time."

"..."

"You will have a long time to get to know him later."

"But sir, I..."

He really wants you to be a companion to him during his overgrown years. But the choice is yours.

...

Monica fell silent.

She silently gazed at the adult she admired, and finally, the bitter smile on her face gradually turned into calm.

“If Your Excellency wishes,” she nodded calmly, “then Monica is willing to become Your Excellency’s, and Lord Yang Hao’s, most loyal servant.”

“Don’t tell me, he wants you to tell him yourself.” Kosiché smiled and then patted Monica’s forehead.

...... ......

When Yang Hao awoke from his exhausting slumber, he felt all his mental fatigue had vanished. His wife's growing belly and loving care had energized him, and he was ready to continue working.

But when he opened his eyes, he found himself not in the audience hall, but in a familiar-looking room. Looking up blankly at the ceiling, he realized that he seemed to be in the hidden reception room of the audience hall.

“You were so tired, so Monica and I carried you in,” Kosichek’s voice came from his thigh. “Perfect, I’m tired too, so I’ll rest with you.”

"what..."

Yang Hao looked down and saw Kosicie resting her head on his lap, grinning mischievously at his face. Her furry ears fluttered up and down, and her tail was already restlessly wrapped around his waist. In this enclosed space, what did that mean? Didn't Yang Hao know?

...but...

Yang Hao was quite perceptive. He also noticed Monica's presence in the meeting room.

"what time is it now?"

He scratched his head, then reached out and pinched Koschei's ear, looking up at Monica and asking. He felt like he'd slept for a long time; otherwise, Koschei wouldn't have come to rest with him, would he?

“Sir, you’ve only slept for half an hour, and it’s not even 11:30 a.m. yet. Would you like lunch?” Monica asked with a smile.

It's not even 11:30 AM yet? Hmm...it seems sleeping with my head on my wife's belly really helps me recover my energy faster. Thinking of this, Yang Hao smiled.

"Lunch? Okay, I'm actually a little hungry..."

Monica responded and left the meeting room to prepare lunch. After Monica left, Koschei grinned mischievously, "Now it's just the two of us," and began his own silent offensive.

Yang Hao, who had just woken up, was no match for it. Amidst his extremely excited moans, the couple took a brief ten-minute break to relax, during which they didn't even take off many of their clothes.

Before Monica returned with lunch, they cleaned themselves up and put their clothes back on. Yang Hao discussed business with Koschche, mentioning that he would start trying to invite nobles over in May. However, there was a problem.

[Resolution: Invite nobles (requires special conditions)]

The Dukedom of Kosichè is preparing to hold a grand joint meeting of nobles. During this time, you may invite all dignitaries with "noble" status from within and even outside the Ursus Empire to be your guests.

But... please remember.

Your current status is merely that of a citizen; you have no title and no publicly acknowledged achievements... so you cannot command respect from the public.

Ask His Majesty the Emperor for a prestigious title? For example, the Crown Prince?

'Are you a spy sent by the Emperor of Ursus?!'

"Inviting those nobles in my name doesn't seem quite right?"

simply put.

Yang Hao has been living and working in the Duchy of Koschei for so long. Although he has a duchess wife, although he is second only to the duke [limited to the Duchy of Koschei], although he still controls almost all the personnel of the three secret forces, and even the army of the Duchy of Koschei is willing to obey his command.

But here's the thing.

The nobles outside the Duchy of Kosiché wouldn't accept this. In their eyes, Yang Hao was just a free man. How dare a free man invite them to his home? This was outrageous, an insult to their very eyes!

Therefore, it's absolutely unacceptable for Yang Hao to extend a "noble invitation." He lacks a correspondingly prestigious status and has no convincing achievements to back him up; no one would believe his invitation, and it would instead be seen as an "insult"—but as Yang Hao said before, he has a duchess wife!

"So, you want me to invite them over in my name?" Koschei nodded thoughtfully, rubbing her wet tail against a tissue to dry herself quickly. She sat on Yang Hao's lap, her brows furrowed. "After all, it makes sense. You don't have a noble status in name, and the Ursus Emperor, who knows my identity, wouldn't acknowledge the existence of 'two Dukes Koschei'."

"Yes, I can only ask you for help."

"But my dear, your achievements are enough to make you a nobleman. It just takes some time—if I remember correctly, once His Majesty learns of the magic of your 'work-for-relief' program, he should grant you the corresponding title soon, right?"

"But the problem is, won't I be going to St. County Castle by then?"

"..."

While discussing serious matters, they suddenly realized a major problem... The couple's expressions turned quite grim, but they quickly ignored the serious issue and continued discussing the matter of "inviting nobles."

First, they decided on whose name the nobles would be invited to visit. It was in Kosiché's name.

Then, invite a few nobles? When should we invite the nobles of Duke Nikolai to embarrass and humiliate them? Finally, after declaring ourselves enemies, should we use the united hearts of the people to accelerate construction while developing the military industry?

"As for nobles..."

“I have a lot of connections. This is a good opportunity for them to get to know you. That way, your social circle can be expanded considerably.”

"Oh, well then you can make the arrangements. But then again, Kosich, how many nobles do you know?"

"It's nothing more than a few dukes, a few army group generals, and a few dozen minor nobles."

"hiss..."

Who exactly is the emperor of the Ursus Empire? Looking at Koschei, who calmly uttered such terrifying words, Yang Hao scratched his head. After Monica knocked on the door, he called out towards the door, "Come in."

Monica brought over the food for the two of them. Perhaps the delicious aroma made her temporarily oblivious to the lavish smell in the room? She calmly placed the food on the table in front of the couple. Today's meal was quite sumptuous, and Yang Hao wondered if it was just his imagination, but there seemed to be some desserts on the table that he had never seen before.

"This is?"

"Gallic desserts. I took some time to learn from their chefs."

"Wow! This looks amazing!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Monica seemed worried that the Gallic chefs might be bribed by outsiders, so she personally prepared all the meals for the two adults. Furthermore, if the two adults had any favorite exotic dishes, Monica would try to learn how to cook them. Unless it was something she truly couldn't learn, she would always cook it for them herself at the end.

But then again... Monica also knows that she is not omnipotent after all.

She will one day face something she can never accomplish.

At that point, being a short-lived species, she was destined not to be able to provide excellent service to the adults...

so...

Monica looked at the two adults who were having lunch. She opened her mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

She planned to explain her wishes to Lord Yang Hao later.

She wanted to become an immortal like him, just to serve them forever.

...even if this continues forever in my dreams every night after I fall asleep, I will still dream of those terrifying nightmares from back then.

Monica wanted to serve the two adults forever.

...... ......

After lunch, the couple decided to return to their palace to rest. Upon returning, Yang Hao received a message from Theresa.

"In short, boss, we're already on our way to the Duchy of Nikolai in the caravan's spare parts," Theresa said over the communicator. "We'll be deploying beacons along the way to maintain stable communication—and we'll be recording all necessary information along the way. If we're lucky, we'll have some updates to report to you tomorrow."

"Is everything alright? How are the weapons and equipment?"

"It's alright. We brought our standard weapons. But then again, snake-scale weapons are difficult to use, aren't they?"

"Keep it up. Be careful."

"Understand."

Yang Hao hung up the phone and found his wife lying on the bed, looking at him strangely.

He swallowed hard, feeling somewhat embarrassed and at a loss for what to do.

“Darling.” Kosiché saw Yang Hao’s awkwardness but didn’t press him further. She simply shook her head helplessly, remarking that Yang Hao really loved flattery. “Do you really like Kuranta horse butts that much?”

"that..."

"I've said it before, I don't mind you having lovers outside. Because there might come a time when I'll be working alone, and I can confidently hand over our family business to you—and when that happens, when I'm not around, your desires will indeed need someone to handle them..."

“…Gu.”

Yang Hao swallowed hard. His wife was far too generous... so generous that it gave him a vague sense of foreboding.

"My dear husband? I let you have affairs outside, so when I come back, shouldn't you... satisfy me?"

She climbed out of bed with a smile.

Yang Hao looked panicked, but inside he was gradually becoming excited.

Just as the dry wood was about to meet the raging fire.

[Ring ring!]

...

The phone rang again. The couple turned to look at it simultaneously, thinking in unison, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Ursus, you've certainly timed your harassment perfectly."

Chapter 159

...

While Yang Hao and his wife were at their wits' end dealing with the Emperor's barrage of text messages.

Miss Theresa is leading her sisters to the Duchy of Nikolai.

They boarded an ordinary commercial land-based vessel, where they could disguise their identities and leisurely make their way to the Duchy of Nikolai, while also hoping to find some delicious food along the way that could be purchased with public funds.

"So Theresa, Lily and the others are following behind us, setting up beacons along the way that are gathering dust."
