"Have you gone home?" Zoe, who had been sitting on the stairs and wearing ordinary folk clothes, got up when she saw Daniela enter the house.
Daniela looked around. "Are there no guards around?"
"The first prince gave me to you, of course, because I am greater than any other subordinate in protecting." Zoe's eyebrows are wrinkled. "You know you're being guarded?"
"How can I not be aware of your existence?" Ask Daniela. "Your aura does look faint and well hidden, but I can still feel it."
Both of Zoe's eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Why-did the first prince know that you are the holder of the aura?"
"How could he not know? He's a cold-blooded man who must know I can wear an aura, are there any relatives of them?"
Zoe still stared in disbelief at Daniela.
"What's? Don't you trust me?" Challenge Daniela to Zoe.
Zoe let out a long sigh and handed him a letter from behind her coat. "This letter must be answered immediately."
Daniela took the letter from Zoe's hand and opened it. The contents of the letter regarding the situation in the region as well as some of the things they had to deal with, Daniela was shocked when reading the polio section.
The sensitive Zoe, asked Daniela. "Is there anything worrying in there?"
"There's a child with polio, it should have been isolated so as not to be affected."
"What?"
Daniela tried to think calmly. "From this letter alone they found one disease there, we don't know any other diseases because the people of the region don't really like chemicals getting into the body."
"Chemical stuff?"
"Drugs."
"They don't like the drugs that doctors prescribe? What about herbs?"
"It is written here that people still want to use herbal ingredients but do not adjust the dose, essentially they do not believe in the health team."
Zoe doesn't believe in her hearing. "How can they be healed? Do you rely on yourself? God, I can't imagine anyone being that stupid."
Zoe desperately works as a knight and descends on the battlefield in place of a cousin in order for Zuu to recover from his illness, she knows how important medicine and doctors are.
"We can't just blame people, their way of thinking is different from ours, they use their own or others' experiences to reinforce their thoughts." Daniela reminded Zoe.
Zoe fell silent as soon as she heard Daniela's advice.
Daniela took a breath and decided on something. "We'd better talk about this to the temple."
"Temple? Do you want the temple to intervene? Couldn't it be dangerous?"
"I spoke to the empress also for nothing, the empress must have insisted on isolating the place and attracting the first prince there out of fear that the emperor would find out about our plans easily."
"You're right too."
"No, wait. We can't talk to the temple either." Daniela suddenly thought of something. "If the temple finds out about the matter, it may take a frontal action by arresting the high priest and then hiding the case."
"Duke, do you not believe in the temple despite working there?"
"I don't believe in temples, it's just that I can't make the quickest and best decisions." Daniela was upset with herself. "Didn't you hear about Ella going to do a chastity test? If the temple becomes unsteady, the emperor and queen can look for the temple's opening. I don't want that to happen."
"Then what should we do now? Just silence?"
Daniela rereads the contents of the letter and makes sure no sentences are left behind. "No, we can't just shut up. The risk of infection is also greater. This is only one disease discovered, not another."
"At a time like this I feel so upset myself for not having power, which there is even an unscented interference" Daniela was silent, suddenly came an unexpected idea.
"What's wrong?"
"If we can't ask the empress and the temple for help, there's still something we can ask for."
"Who?"
"Is there any news of the first prince?"
"No, not yet."
The emperor who heard it became annoyed. "I wonder if he's dead or alive! Why is no one looking for her body? Because of that, I couldn't sleep day and night, thinking he would come to kill me!"
The royal adviser hid his emotions well when he heard the emperor's words about his own son. "Your Majesty, the empire is a vast place. It takes time to find the whereabouts of the first prince after all his disappearance between the time of war or the journey back here."
The emperor who heard the irresponsible report in the study room, grew increasingly upset. "Counselor, it's your job to just give direction not to work hard."
The royal adviser complained inwardly. You gave me the task of finding the first prince, but it is not my duty at all and now you are angry that the first prince is nowhere to be found? Emperor, are you suppressing me because I support the empress and the first prince?
Marquess Bill had been a royal adviser since the empress was five years old, the previous emperor had hoped the marquess and her family would be loyal to the empress because of good relations in the past.
Whatever news cornered the empress after her marriage to the present emperor, the marquess who saved her - including the matter of inciting the crown prince's dispatch to the battlefield.
"Don't the advisors have been working in the palace since the empress was a child? You should understand how to find the missing members of the imperial family."
The royal adviser silently looked at the emperor without fear.
"Ckckck, look. Not even afraid of me who has a high position."
"Then how should I behave? Bowing your head when you talk to the emperor? Isn't that very disrespectful?"
"Counselor, I'm not the previous emperor who couldn't distinguish the relationship between superiors and subordinates."
The royal advisor began to dislike the criticism of the emperor, then knelt down. "Is this what you want, Your Majesty?"
The emperor laughed heartily at the sight of the old bone who felt an imperial treasure, being able to kneel before him. "Not bad either, I like to see it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Today I am kind, tomorrow I want to hear another answer."
"Good."
"Go, I don't want to see your face anymore."
The royal adviser bowed respectfully then got up and walked away from the emperor's study, he sighed when he made it out safely. When is the situation like this? First prince, quickly come to your senses and take your throne.
"Marquess."
Marquess Bill turned his head and saw one of the butler's envoys approaching him. "What's wrong? Is there a problem at home?"
The messenger whispered near the marquess. "Duke Aelthred came to meet you with one of the first prince's right hands."
"What?!" Marquess Bill.
