Chapter 359: Daphne's Demand

"Father, the time has come for me to take on a more substantial role within the empire. I have reached the age of eighteen, and I am fully prepared to govern one of our colonial domains with efficacy and diligence. I have successfully completed the rigorous training that my brothers and sister underwent under your tutelage, proving myself worthy of such responsibilities. I am deserving of a chance to demonstrate my capabilities and contribute to the glory of our empire," Daphne articulated with a blend of passion and determination in her voice.

Her eyes, filled with a fervent desire to be of service, locked onto Napoleon's, seeking validation and support. She stood tall, her posture emanating confidence yet laced with a respectful deference characteristic of addressing the Emperor.
