Two days later, the first prince was shocked to hear the news of Marquess Bill's arrival. "How can the Marquess come? Is it not wrong?" Edrik asked while shaking Zuu's body with both hands. "Why did the royal advisor come? Why isn't a doctor or one of the pastors going up against the high priest?"
"Sa-I am also curious about it, Your Majesty." Zuu was a little dizzy after Edrik shook and then showed the letter in his hand. "Maybe you can read this letter, duke Aelthred leave a letter for you to Marquess Bill."
Edrik picked up the letter in Zuu's hands and rushed to read it.
I understand the outline, I ask the royal adviser to work together on behalf of his family even though he does not know you are there.
Edrik turned to Zuu. "Daniela said the Marquess didn't know I was here, that means I shouldn't show up?"
Zuu was confused by Edrik's question and then slightly peeked at the letter in Edrik's hand out of curiosity.
Edrik and Zuu both read letters.
Leave everything to the royal adviser, let it work. If the region is in a state of urgency, then you appear or save them. After all they were academic families, not war experts. Bill's family life hangs in your hands, making them loyal to you.
Edrik increasingly did not understand Daniela's intentions and handed the letter to Zuu and began to grumble. "You see for yourself, don't you, the results even want to be handed over to the royal advisor? What the fuck? We want to help people, not political activities."
Zuu again read the letter from Daniela and tried to digest it.
"You said Daniela could find a good way but what? Even issuing royal and family advisers, are we just going to advise criminals? Shit!"
Zuu was sure that the steps made by Daniela were not arbitrary, but what? What move did he make until the first prince could not move?
"Damn! Only his wife is useful!"
"Wife?" Zuu asked who asked Edrik.
Edrik replied in a annoyed tone. "The Wife of Marquess Bill, Marin Green. A doctor and likes to wear green clothes, he said if wearing clothes of that color he could distinguish blood splashed on the clothes. In this region there is only one doctor, so the presence of a marquess wife is very useful."
Both of Zuu's eyes widened in astonishment. "Isn't that great?"
"What?"
"Marchioness will know the diseases that children are experiencing in this region and the royal advisor will make arrangements, is not the advisor always on the side of the empress?"
Edrik was surprised by Zuu's explanation.
"We will know the meaning of the plan in this letter, the most important thing is to follow the duke's request." Zuu burned the letter with his fire until the paper in hand became ashes. "You can only appear if the situation is desperate, that means there are two possibilities. Marquess who cannot control the state of the territory or can control."
"Rudely, he was made a pawn for me?" Edrik asked in disbelief. "He's a father and he has a family."
Zuu. "First prince, you must understand. Politics is far more cruel than fighting while losing lives. Marquess Bill couldn't be that stupid until he was made a pawn."
Edrik thinned his lips with anger. "Daniela is only fifteen years old and has yet to make her debut, how could she think of such a terrible plan?"
Edrik sniffed in annoyance.
----------
At first Marin Green was upset with her husband for taking her and the children to a remote area, as if fleeing.
"If you were like this, the emperor would be even more suspicious. It's better to bend your knees and show loyalty than to lose many lives." Omel Marin so followed her husband, entering into the room after being greeted by Viscount Fei. "I'm more and more annoyed to see that you're just silent, aren't you upset by all the emperor's actions that are harming us?"
"I know!" Jerking marquess Bill. "We must cool our heads before facing the emperor."
Marin Green's anger vanished once she saw the husband's pale face, she knew the husband's struggle to save his family. Marin did not want to see her husband in trouble again, despite having a little sore eyes seeing the villain become the ruler.
"I'm just protecting our principles, even though now you're changing your mind for the lives of so many people - I can't, I'm just thinking long-term."
Marin Green knew exactly what her husband meant. Long term! No one knew the fate of people in the long run, but didn't that mean it could give their loved ones time to escape the empire?
Marquess Bill was looking for a way to get his wife down. "Listen to me, if the plan now fails - I will kneel before the emperor and declare allegiance."
Marin Green's lips trembled when she saw her husband's trembling eyes. It was very difficult to seal the agreement with the previous emperor just like that, but the lives of the people in their territory were also at stake if her husband remained in favor of the first prince and empress.
"We're going to go to great lengths to find the first prince in the region, so please help me."
Marin Green hugged her husband sadly, as if there was no future for them. "If there's a problem, let the kids go first. I'll accompany you."
"No." Marquess Bill rejected his wife's idea firmly. "You can't do that, you should be able to accompany them. There must be one who lives."
Marquess Bill had already planned before arriving from viscount Fei's territory. His wife and two children had to escape the region if the first prince could not be found, and the news spread that his wife and two children had died from robbers while the marquess was facing the emperor, accept all punishments to be given including the destruction of the family.
The Marchioness shakes her head in disagreement. "Do you understand the wedding vows we did in the past? We have to be together under whatever circumstances, I don't want one of us to sacrifice and the other to escape."
"Marin."
"I know your principles, sorry for forcing you all along. But, still I don't want to lose you more. If you remain stubborn, the first thing the emperor is after is you, not me or our children."
The Marquess looked at his wife in surprise. "Marin."
"I don't want to lose our children and the people in our region but I don't want to lose you. My struggle would be futile if you weren't around."
Zuu and Edrik who were standing in front of the closed door, became awkward when they heard their words.
Edrik frowned behind his brown coat. "Daniela is crazy."
Zuu did not know what to answer. "Well, we'll see what duke Aelthred wants."
