The Abandoned Empress - Chapter 303
“Well, I’ve already talked with the emperor about it, but let me make the final decision after consulting with you. Won’t you listen? ”
The agreement he made with the emperor was quite unprecedented. According to it, I could continue to act as the successor of the Monique family even when I became the empress. Besides, even after my father died in Vita’s arms, his title would not be returned to the imperial family, but bequeathed to me. In that case, the possessions of the Monique family would be mine, not the imperial family’s, and my title will be handed over to one of the babies with silvery hair, except for the crown prince baby to be born. It seemed that my father inserted that clause in the agreement just in case I broke up with him.
Besides, even if a silver-haired child is born to a relative of the Monique family, I have the priority and final say on handing over my title to him. In other words, as the empress and the marquise of the Monique family, I will have the independent authority to decide everything within the family regardless of the will of the imperial family. In that case, nobody will be able to treat me recklessly even if my relationship with the emperor goes sour.
In addition, there was a clause in the agreement that would guarantee the Monique family’s exclusive right to sell some of the products available only in the territories owned by the imperial family. The jewelry offered by the emperor in the name of wedding gifts and other material benefits to my family would also be enormous. Of course, the expenditures in the form of dowry on my end will be great, but the family vassals seemed to be ready to accept it without any opposition. Some of them even expressed satisfaction, assuming that one of the princes would be the marquis of the Monique family in the next generation.
