Against the World II: Transgression
EPILOGUE
LIFE is full of regrets. This one sentence is very true. Xavier is the real proof of the truth of that sentence. He regrets a lot of what he has done. If Nueva was still alive, he would definitely torture her for being the root of the problem. If he hadn't been a fool to the point of falling into Lucifer's manipulation, the big event that changed Islan might never have happened. And, Xavier doesn't have to deal with the piled up documents.
Half a year had passed since he stopped the war unilaterally and forced all the kingdoms into submission.
The first three weeks were no significant problems. Emiliel the Holy Kingdom is a little stubborn, but their problem is solved when Xavier asks Rossia to become queen. Arthur Lancedragon is in favor of him. If the Vampire Kingdom became part of the Islan, let alone after Vermyna killed Fie, Emiliel the Holy Kingdom would prefer destruction. Therefore, there was no longer any Vampire Kingdom in this continent. Vermyna loved the Haikal— IslandsThe Ocean Kingdom and Mermaid Kingdom became part of them.
The trouble came a month after the forced conquest, less than a week after he handed over a common rule that all the lands of Islan were obliged to abide by. The rulers and the majority of the royal higher-ups received well; there was no problem with the rules that were not so different from the laws made by the New World Order. However, the same cannot be said of their people. Rejection demonstrations took place in various places, except in Maggarithaz Kingdom and Hongariand Kingdom.
That problem can be overcome quickly, especially when they are all made to understand what an autonomous region is. Kanna's visit to every kingdom helped ease the rejection. However, the real problem came after that. The organization that dubbed themselves as the Savior of the Islan appeared and caused chaos, they incited the people to go directly to the Magic City of Maidenhair to voice rejection.
It took a month to eliminate them to their roots, and it turns out that the brain behind them all is Karen mel Matepola— and Elmira. Evidence of Karen's involvement was found, Xavier managed to get her into prison without looking like a tyrant ruler. However, evidence of Elmira's involvement was not found. Of course Xavier could have taken the path of coercion, but that would have made his efforts in creating a good name as emperor a waste.
Xavier finally solved the problem with four eyes. Elmira admitted to her involvement, not needing to know how she could make the woman confess. Clearly, Elmira only vented her frustration because she made Kanna Empress. More than that, the woman is upset she has had four wives. Yes, that information has become public consumption—Alice who spread it, and he refused to admit it even though he knew that he knew.
Now, all the problems threatening the peace of Islan have been overcome, but Xavier must pay for them by losing his peace.
Piles of documents he must check to be rejected or approved. Report documents that must be read, even though the content is on average not important. Incell who often came to challenge him to fight. Qibtya who often come and cause a commotion. Evillia is angry and forces him to divorce all his wives and marry him. Vermyna who often brought his cooking—which is more dangerous than Bedivere's poison. Monica complains because she's not pregnant.
Only with Kanna and Artemys could he be completely calm. With Artemys normal, Xavier knew it from the beginning. Even after their son—Nizivia el Vermillion— was born, the woman did not change. He's a little spoiled, but that's all. The surprise is Kanna. She became the ideal wife. Not at Artemys level, of course, but pretty close. Maybe it was because Kanna spent a lot of time with Artemys and Nizivia, or maybe she was just acting. Xavier still had not forgotten the words of Kanna at that time.
“Kak Xavier.”
Xavier shifted his gaze from the document sheet as the voice called out. Menez came through the Land of Dreams as usual. However, looking at the look on his face, it seemed that he had not come to report anything or deliver a message from Achilles. Xavier could guess, but he chose to ask directly.
“...Tonight Alstroemeria and I will have dinner together outside. So, um, I'd like some advice from Brother Xavier.”
Xavier stood up straight from his chair. Sharp eyes Emily—yap, Emily has returned to be her secretary as when she was commander of the first—l immediately look at it intensely. The woman was really strict and hard, she was not even allowed to use clones to deal with the documents. Responsibility said. Heh, who cares!
“...If in an hour you don't come back, I'll tell Miss Vermyna if you take her cooking as poison.”
“And,” Emily continued without letting Xavier respond, “mau until when did you hold Commander Lilithia there? Miss Eileithyia said she would release him in three days if there was no compensation. He said he likes Monica's cooking. If you don't get him Monica's cooking, he'll free Commander Lilithia.”
…Can? Emily is strict, and threatening. But maybe it's necessary.
“Of course, Miss Secretary. Even the Emperor can't do anything in front of you. Let's go, Menez, I'll guide you into being a real man.”
