I'M REINCARNATED AND I CAN'T BE HURT
TWENTY TWO

There's one thing Daniela learned now that when dealing with men, they're always throwing dirty jokes, ignoring the discomfort of the opposite sex and even small children. Although at the moment not all male nobles do such ridiculous things.

"Duke Aelthred, do you want to refute duke Vilvred's statement?" ask the emperor to Daniela.

Daniela does not have much experience facing men so her brain becomes a bit dead end, let alone her biological father intervened himself.

Daniela also found it difficult because her opponent was much more experienced in marriage, it turns out that she was too passionate at the beginning.

Count Ava and duke Vilvred smiled triumphantly.

BRACKET!

"The imperial consort Helcia has arrived!"

The door attendant announced the arrival of the empress, everyone in the room except the emperor. Stand up and give your regards to the queen.

The empress nodded briefly then sat down next to the emperor. "I heard an interesting story here, may I come, emperor?"

The Emperor smiled awkwardly and panicked a little. "Empress, why go to this place? The meeting place of the nobles can't-"

The Empress looked at the photos in the air in surprise. "Duke Aelthred."

"Yes?"

"This is all, what?"

"Proof of physical violence received by a noblewoman, Your Majesty."

The Empress took the paper in the emperor's hands. "You're done reading it, aren't you?"

"Yes." Yeah." Consider emperor.

The empress studied all the contents of the document and commented. "It's a pity that our empire has no legal protections for married women, as if we don't care about the people."

"Empress, don't overdo it." Tegur emperor.

"Duke Aelthred, is there anything else you want to say so that the men here can understand what the women are trying to say."

Daniela stand. "Before women were only used as a tool to give birth to successors or also walking jewelry to determine the status, or, if they are useless - most men will look for other women so that men always ignore children and wives, this is compounded if the wives cannot give birth to successors."

The queen raised one of her eyebrows. "Indeed, this is common. Not weird anymore."

"I just want protection for married women to be guaranteed" Daniela said.

"Not unreasonably, the life and death of a woman is in the hands of her husband even the temple also states that the sin of the wife is borne by the husband. Whatever happens, the wife belongs to the husband. It is impossible for a husband to do evil for his wife." Denied duke Vilvred fiercely.

"What about violence? Do you agree with a head of the family who hurt his wife?" ask Daniela.

Duke Vilvred narrowed his eyes to Daniela. "It should be seen first, the cause of the husband committing violence."

Daniela laughs. "Is there a good thing if violence arises? Most abusers just want to achieve their selfish goals."

Count Ava stared angrily at Daniela. "Lady, careful. I can sue you for insulting me."

"I never once said your name, why are you angry? Count." Daniela said to Count Ava.

"I just want to show you evidence that women get uncomfortable treatment from their husbands. Who would have saved him if not the empire?" ask Daniela.

"The empire can take care of things that are far more important than just female complaints" said another noble.

Daniela reciprocates. "The first prince went to war from a young age, even younger than your children now. It was supposed to be the crown prince who left, not the first prince but he relented for the sake of his sister who was afraid of blood. So do you guys take care of it?"

The emperor's followers.

"You alone had a good time in the empire no matter what the first prince and the other troops were going through, then why shouldn't I care about the woman that her husband hurt? Should I just keep quiet watching them walk by covering the whole body with wounds while you all have fun with other women?"

"I'm sure, the honorable nobles who have been present in this place mostly have stash and illegitimate children."

The empress looked at Daniela in awe, trying to hide her smile and talk to the emperor. "He's a smart kid, right?"

"Of course, he's smart." Sahut emperor.

"What's wrong with making a law to protect wives? Why do you mind? You yourself feel not the perpetrator." Daniela looked at all the nobles in the room in turn. "We all know, it's impossible to marry a loved one, to live together with a partner who wasn't our choice."

The queen agreed. "I agree to make a rule of law regarding domestic violence as well as sexual violence, the evidence is clear even if only one person is willing to talk."

"It could be that he was a false witness that duke Aelthred had set up to trap." Another young noble.

Daniela shakes a little. "If I'm such a petty person, I'd rather set myself as an example."

Empress laughs. "Well, indeed. Duke Aelthred's case is far better served as an example for the abandonment of wife and child for the sake of a mistress, right 'is duke Vilvred?"

Duke Vilvred did not reply, it was common knowledge that he loved the child of his own butler. The marriage to Daniela's mother was just a political marriage.

"How's emperor?" ask the Queen to her husband. "Do you also agree with me?"

The emperor was in a dilemma. If you do not agree, it will be suspected of hurting the empress and the temple can interfere in handling while if you agree, then it will be more harmed.

The emperor already knew the dark side of his followers, even he himself had a dark lover other than the queen, before the queen had a crown prince.

"You disagree?" ask empress.

The emperor was convinced that what the empress was asking right now was not a question but a scorn on her.

Emperor smiled. "There's no way I disagree, duke Aelthred's idea is brilliant."

Empress smiled. "Well, soon the ministers will formalize this regulation. Hammer holder, please."

The hammer holder awakens from the daydream and immediately knocks the hammer and announces the queen's order regarding the rules of domestic violence as well as sexual violence against the wife.

"Is there anything else you want to say, duke Aelthred?"

There was still a lot that Daniela wanted to reveal, but she still could not fight the nobles only with the capital of spirit and courage. "Nothing, Your Grace. Thank you for helping me."

"It is precisely my pleasure to have a nobleman who cares deeply for others rather than a nobleman who thinks only of himself, right not count Eklif?" ask empress.

Count Eklif agreed with the empress' opinion. "There are not many young people of the lady's age who care deeply about others. Your mother and the entire Aelthred family must be very proud of you, duke."

Daniela smiled sincerely.
