Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 137 – DOMESTIC REBELLION HANDLING

Someone skilled in infiltration suddenly slipped into my room, even the sharp-edged Olo who was standing guard outside was unable to notice the arrival of the figure.

However, I did not show the slightest expression of anxiety about I knew very well which flow this belonged to without me having to look back.

“Your Highness Prince Helios, you look pale. You okay?”

I ignored the name of the prince that was still being applied to me considering that I had now changed my title to an emperor. I just turned around to look at her with a smile.

“You are now used to it apparently yes, Doctor Minerva, walk back and forth here from the hospital like this house next door neighbor.”

Just like the others, now Doctor Minerva has officially moved from Painfinn City to the Capital of Megdia to follow me. I feel guilty for Venia being left alone there. That is why, I asked Anna to send at least three of her apprentices to help Venia there.

Doctor Minerva looked at me anxiously. Unexpectedly, she approached me to check my temperature.

“Ouch, you are very cold, Your Highness.”

Of course what is meant by the word ‘ding’ by Doctor Minerva is in a literal sense, not that he offends my cold nature or character.

“After birth I was born with this cold body, haha.”

I laughed a little at this strange state of my body that seemed normal to me because I had experienced it even since I remembered.

“Forget that. But Your Majesty, you better rest. You already seem very exhausted. Surely controlling thousands of familiar in stand by conditions in various places, will also make Your body tired no matter how strong your stamina.”

“Is that? Do I look tired in your eyes? But thank you for worrying about me, Doctor Minerva.”

“Your Majesty, you should also learn to trust others. You've sent your trust warriors on the battlefield, haven't you? So I'm sure everything will be fine.”

I don't know why I felt a bit of emotional turmoil in my chest after hearing Doctor Minerva's words that actually didn't offend anything.

As someone who was neglected in the rundown palace with only the company of Albert, who must endure the slick mouth of the nobles, I will certainly no longer be able to let go of this habit.

Suspicion is my life. Without it, I wouldn't be able to live in peace.

That's probably why I said emotionally unconsciously to Doctor Minerva.

“For me all I can trust in this world is Talia and Albert!”

I saw Doctor Minerva looking at me for a long time with a blank expression as if confused by my sudden change of emotions. It was natural because to myself at that time I did not understand why I should be so angry.

“If Yasmin or Alice heard this, they would definitely be very sad, Your Majesty. Aren't they also your valuable men?”

Immediately I gasped at Doctor Minerva's words. Every time I told Alice and Yasmin how much I trusted them. Then why did my reflex speech not mention the two of them as people I could also trust? Actually, what does it mean to put that trust in someone?

I definitely believe in Alice. He who had originally come to the City of Painfinn to fulfill the mission of Emperor Ethanus devastated the City of Painfinn with a bomb embedded in his heart, finally choosing to die in the Monster Forest without sacrificing a single life of the people because of his kindness. Enraptured by her kindness, I thoughtlessly saved the girl from the entanglement of Emperor Ethanus.

And so did Yasmin. Our meeting really wasn't anything special. When I woke up in the aftermath of the king of undead disaster, I lost my little turtle Yasmin and coincidentally met her when I called out loud my missing turtle Yasmin's name.

She was an expressionless innocent girl, but deft in doing every job entrusted to her, from cleaning houses to mass slaughtering on the battlefield. That's what Yasmin means to me because she's really versatile as a boy.

To me the only people I really believed in were those who had truly accompanied me in my bitter times through every trial in the palace, Albert and Talia.

As for Yasmin, Alice, Nunu, and every new individual I met after that, however much I wanted to pin the word on them, still I can't fight the feeling in my own heart that rejects it.

But isn't that okay? As long as my mind has accepted them as confidants and they sincerely return the trust, there is no point in talking about this feeling in my heart. They'll never know if I never mention it. As long as my logic leads me down the right path, that is more than enough.

“True too. They'll be angry. But I'm sure they'll understand. Trust awakens with suspicion, doesn't it?”

I saw Doctor Minerva shake her head at the comment and sighed, saying, “I really don't understand your thoughts, Your Highness Prince.”

***

Before entering the new year, the insurgency handling team seems to be doing its job well. Yasmin managed to lure a herd of kraken monsters with fresh fish blood to disrupt the Maosium army that was about to come to destabilize the homeland of Meglovia.

Thanks to this, the rebel army of both Ajak City in the east and Apes City in the south, failed to gain their momentum and were immediately secured. In the process, Albert killed Marquise August van Tellborne and Alice killed Marquise Vince van Rodhelton.

The soldiers and nobles who surrendered were then detained for trial by the justice department to determine whether they deserved to be put to death or could still be saved with a lighter sentence, it depends on their involvement in the rebellion.

The justice department itself is the person of Duke Orsena, one of my opposition factions. However, I believe that his own faction is a person of trust in carrying out state duties outside of them is actually my political opponent.

There was a leadership vacancy both in the City of Ajak and in the City of Apes, other towns and villages around him that entered the territory of the eastern faction and the southern faction that chose to revolt against the new ruler.

Overcoming that, I sent Kak Swein fou Lambarg along with some of his chosen men to overcome the problem of provisional government in the eastern region. As for the southern region, I entrusted it to Alice. With him I also sent some competent selected men from the capital who I think fit in with Alice.

Thus the urgent problem that arises because the domestic rebellion managed to overcome well without the need to sacrifice many soldiers' lives in the process. That is of course thanks to the brilliant achievements of Yasmin, Albert, Stephanus, Alice and Damian.

After officially being elevated to emperor later and the issue of the war against the Northern Empire Vlonhard was resolved, I must immediately think of a suitable reward for their glorious achievements.

Then right in the 532nd bodyguard of the Southern Empire of Meglovia I was officially inaugurated as the first emperor since the Southern Empire of Meglovia was founded.

Not long after, a new prime minister was inaugurated. I actually prefer Phillip de Peronaz, Uncle Vierra, the former prime minister to continue his post. But apparently Uncle Phillip refused on the grounds of wanting to immediately retire from the hot seat when his age had not even reached 50.

But unexpected help arrived. My father-in-law relinquished his position as head of the administration of the imperial library and head of the Growmyerre family to be handed over to Brother Luic to accompany me as the new prime minister.

Then the remaining, at the end of the 1st month of the year, officially inaugurated the arrangement of the senate of nobles consisting of 160 members, each of 20 members came from the western faction, the northern faction, the eastern faction, and the other was not a party, the southern faction, the Cabalcus dominion state faction, the Ignitia dominion state faction, the patron faction of the capital Duke Orsena, as well as the middle region scholar faction under the leadership of Marquise Roderick van Moriant.

Under my new leadership, I could not believe that the members of the sacred temple would welcome me well enough, well of course except for those who have close ties with the Monk Vyndicta Eros. As you know that I can feel someone's hidden feelings thanks to my mana-sensitivity, so I know that they are sincere.

Perhaps the members of the sacred shrine of the fire-worshipping sect began to like me regardless of the prophecy it began when I gave them unexpected help on the handling of the cholera outbreak as well as how I recovered my good name they failed to deal with the cholera outbreak.

But unexpectedly, some radical groups of scholars who actually expressed openly their hatred for me. But it's not something I can finish because they hate me for the color of my eyes and hair. Racism is not an easy thing to solve with words and it is not the realm of my ability to assuage their racism.

I can only prevent it by blocking its source and instilling a good antiracist education in every official educational curriculum of the southern empire. But the rest, it depends on the object in question, whether to accept it or not.

Again this goes back to the mastermind, Monk Robell Zarkan and Emperor Ethanus, who spread radicalism through product advertisements, art shows, and other forms of social media, and various other ways to make it as a justification for colonizing other nations.

However, that was not the problem that was currently weighing on my mind the most. With the completion of my inauguration as the new emperor of this country, I can no longer avoid the topic of the expulsion of Sister Vierra from the palace any longer.
