That Is To My Beloved, Swear Allegiance

That is, to swear allegiance to my dear, Author: Within 12 characters. Once confirmed.

Synopsis:

The Hain Empire, the nation with the strongest military on the continent, has a specialty: Goddess-blooded individuals, born after long periods of bloodline cultivation.

Upon reaching adulthood, they are incorporated into the Imperial Guard, serving as confidantes directly loyal only to the Emperor himself.

Capable of freely wielding Teleportation Magic and City-Destroying Curses, they are undoubtedly the most terrifying war machines on this land.

However, in reality, These Demigod Imperial Guards are far from as exceptional as legends claim.

"They have no human moral compass; they're just a bunch of selfish scumbags playing games with people's lives!!"

When discussing his Imperial Guard, His Majesty Rhine would excitedly kick the coffin lid.

"The System has reborn me a thousand times, and at least eight hundred of those times, I was backstabbed and killed by them!"

Regarding the Imperial Guard, if he kills them, the Empire will have no one to rely on, but if he keeps them, he'll inevitably be backstabbed sooner or later.

On the thousandth rebirth, Rhine finally discovered a path he had never imagined.

This time, he would no longer compromise for the sake of benefits, but instead conquer them with his personal charm.

1. I'm dead, it's all your fault!

As if waking from a nightmare, Rhine suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked around; he was in his bedroom.

He walked to the mirror, and in it, a dashingly handsome noble youth gazed back.

Nineteen years old.

Rhine had been resurrected again.

After experiencing death once more, he had been sent back to the beginning of the story.

He, Rhine Hain.

In this country, he had many titles.

First Heir of the Hain Empire, Promising Pillar of the Empire, Exemplary Youth in Civil and Military Arts, For Some Reason Always Likes to Seduce Married Women, Of Course He Didn't Let the Young Girls Go Either, A Good Prince, Though a Bit Corrupt...

At the same time, he was also a transmigrator from a certain Blue Star.

As a transmigrator, Rhine originally had another name, but after so many cycles of life and death, he had forgotten those insignificant things.

At this moment, Rhine stared blankly at the handsome man in the mirror.

"Failed again..."

After transmigrating to this world, the System's mission for him was to save the world. To achieve this goal, Rhine had already died a thousand times.

What infuriated Rhine to the point of his lungs exploding was that out of these thousand deaths, half, no, at least eight hundred...

were due to betrayal from his own people!!

It wasn't that everyone around Rhine was a crazy traitor.

This was because all the assassination attempts on the Emperor were concentrated on seven culprits.

These were the Empire's seven Imperial Guards, Goddess-blooded individuals meticulously trained by the Empire's state religion, ultimate powerhouses representing the pinnacle of the human world.

On average, each Imperial Guard had killed him, the future Emperor, more than a hundred times.

Rhine felt as though his thousand lifetimes had been repeating the same historical joke.

Roman Imperial Guard

Rhine's process of saving the world was essentially his exploration of the Imperial Guards' bottom lines.

When he first arrived in this world, Rhine was still an innocent, naive, and slightly chubby otaku.

He lived a life of carefree eating, drinking, playing, and charming women, enjoying himself immensely every day.

When the previous Emperor passed away and Rhine ascended the throne.

He looked at the wise civil officials and valiant military generals below the throne, and Rhine was very satisfied.

And the seven beautiful Imperial Guards kneeling before him, swearing their loyalty and service, made Rhine tremble with happiness.

Rhine could hardly believe that the world he was responsible for saving was actually a world with a difficulty rating of S-rank.

Just look at these beautiful Imperial Guard ladies.

These demigods, born from millennia of selective breeding and infinitely close to the Goddess of Order, possessed her power and state of mind, as well as a beauty so stunning it eclipsed the stars.

For a moment, Rhine couldn't tell if he was inventorying nuclear bombs or selecting concubines.

Damn, are these Imperial Guards... this into fanservice?!

Inheriting the continent's strongest empire at the start, with seven bloodlines of goddesses waiting for his favor—Rhine felt like the luckiest transmigator in the world!

However, it was hilariously ironic.

What descended as suddenly as happiness.

Was Rhine's seventh day after death.

The second day after ascending the throne.

His Majesty Rhine died suddenly in the palace.

And Rhine's uncle, the Cardinal Minister and Richest Person in the Empire, Prince Edgeworth, was crowned emperor the next day with the support of several Imperial Guards.

This was Rhine's first death.

Cause of Death: [Higher Bid]

After this, the System resurrected Rhine, and Rhine returned to the year he was 19.

Reborn, Rhine learned from his previous death, strove for improvement, and after a series of maneuvers, brought down the Prince.

However, at this time, the naive and ignorant Rhine still hadn't understood what the System meant by "higher bid."

Then, Rhine ascended the throne again.

Not long after, to rectify the corruption in the bureaucracy, Rhine began the first round of investigation into officials' assets.

Including the Imperial Guard.

The next day, His Majesty Rhine died suddenly on the toilet.

This was Rhine's second death.

Cause of Death: [Higher Bid]

This time, Rhine finally sensed something was wrong.

There were indeed bad people among the masses, but when these bad people wanted to harm the Emperor, they used the hands of the same group of people!

A traitor had infiltrated the Emperor's Imperial Guard!

Resurrected for the third time, Rhine began to pay attention to these seemingly docile and respectful Imperial Guard ladies.

Who exactly was the traitor?

However, in reality, Rhine was still too naive at this point.

After repeated deaths and being tricked time and again.

The number of traitors Rhine discovered among the Imperial Guard grew!

One traitor, two traitors, three traitors...

In the end, Rhine finally realized.

Except for one person, the remaining six Imperial Guards were all opportunistic double-dealers motivated solely by profit!

Who was the Emperor, they didn't care at all.

It's fine, no big deal.

Rhine remained emotionally stable about this.

Everyone had greed, even demigods were no exception.

Anyway, they were the only seven powerhouses in the entire country; changing them was impossible.

Since that was the case, he would do his best to satisfy their demands.

And so.

His Majesty Rhine and his loyal Imperial Guard could finally coexist peacefully.

With the power of the seven demigods, His Majesty Rhine, after enduring hardships and experiencing several deaths, finally unified this land.

So, what's next.

After consolidating all the power of this land.

Rhine could finally lead the ground races to challenge the high and mighty Gods of Order.

The result...

When the Gods of Order learned that an Emperor named Rhine wanted to rebel.

They immediately descended a divine decree upon the Imperial Guard.

Then the next day.

Rhine died again.

Cause of Death: [Higher Bid]

This time, Rhine couldn't take it anymore.

"Damn your mother...

Useless, this group of Imperial Guards is completely useless!"

As Emperor, Rhine could satisfy all their mortal desires.

However, facing the gods' bribes, Rhine was utterly helpless.

When the tools in his hands turned into deadly weapons that only bit their master.

Then, It was time to make a decisive cut.

Get it done, kill them all!

Thus, after the Nth rebirth, Rhine began to use various means to purge the Imperial Guard.

Having experienced countless deaths,
