Edrik was furious to see the behavior of those who seemed to be victims when all the problems started from them. "The empire already provides medicine, doctors and even vaccines provided free of charge for shared health."
Edrik knew about a free vaccine made by Marchioness Green from her mother.
Funds were taken from the imperial palace treasury, but they all did not want to accept it for reasons of sin and always compared his life with others who were sick. Each person's body is different.
"You ignored and even criticized the doctors who desperately worked to save the people. What exactly do you want? Destroying the lives of others or killing the lives of others?"
Everyone below the stage stared at each other in fear. They don't want to die, but they don't want to be blamed either.
Zuu spoke behind Edric to remind. "First prince, please hold your emotions. Remember duke Aelthred's advice on brainwashing."
"I know, but-"
Even though they were thought to have been brainwashed, still they accepted it with pleasure, they were only selfish humans seeking their own benefits.
Edrik took a breath to calm his anger and started talking again. "The first time I stepped on foot in this region, the first cruelty I saw was all of you chasing a dog just for taking shelter inside a temple."
People shouted loudly.
"The temple where we pray!"
"The temple of a holy place!"
"The temple cannot be entered by dirty creatures!"
"Dogs and other animals are filthy creatures!"
"They deserve to die!"
"If it's in the book, show me about the god who allowed you to kill god-created creatures! SHOW IT RIGHT NOW!" Jerky Edrik.
All the people who were under the stage, were silent in fear.
Edrik waited long enough for an answer from them. "none? You guys can't answer? I don't care if you throw him out but you intend to kill him, is that all the will of a god?"
One of the people answered. "Animals like them are just pests that harm humans. It deserves to die!"
Edrik ignored the man's screams. "In the future, there will be rules-not to torture animals! You understand?"
Many were unwilling to understand and some were still shouting furiously but not as badly as before the army of Edrik knights stood guard.
"SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME!" Shouted the Marchioness beside Edrik.
Everyone below the stage fell silent as soon as they heard the cry of a middle-aged woman who looked furious.
"In the middle of the city of this region, I found the plague and some have died, because no doctor will handle you and only believe in the beliefs of the high priest you worship, many victims fall.
"You know what caused the plague? Because there are more rats and there are fewer cats because of slaughter! From here who will be responsible? The nobleman? Will the high priest and the temple be held accountable?!"
All the people are silent.
"That's what animals are for, even if they look like pests and are useless in your eyes. Actually they're very useful" Marchioness said. "You didn't realize it, did you?"
"We will therefore enact laws regarding the protection of animals in the region" Marchioness said. "There is no rebuttal or you can argue by exchanging your lives! It is better that we save others who know nothing than stubborn humans who are usually just demanding and unwilling to reflect!"
Silence, no one disputes.
Marchioness has always followed her father who was also a doctor to see various patients and their nature. There are parents who have a lot of money but unfortunately spend money on the health of their children and then there is the opposite, now faced Marchioness is not a constraint of money, but trust.
Only gods and priests could treat them.
If their lives are lost, then the gods will.
Shouldn't hurt yourself, the Marchioness agreed to this part. But what makes him disagree is a misunderstanding, such as a vaccine that can save many people from the virus.
Regulations made for good so deviated only because it justifies itself without thinking about the surrounding.
The Marchioness spoke again. "The other rule is not to be a vigilante, I find innocent people punished and do not get proper treatment, even doctors should not visit on the grounds of a man's doctor.
"Yes, I agree on this. However, how do we bring in a female doctor or female nurse if you try to evict and disrespect their work? I hope that there will be no more such treatment and from now on, we will arrest anyone who gives false accusations on the grounds of honor!
"If you can hurt a woman for life, then we can also make you disabled for life!"
A few men whose facial features turned pale, suddenly ran away and tried to hit the knights.
Edrik and Zuu exchanged glances. It turned out to be much more effective using Marchioness than them.
The Marchioness issued all new rules that should not be violently broken while the first prince's army sought accomplices, supporting the high priest Rou.
Edrik did not think it was easy to catch them, he thought there would be a civil war. Turns out they're just cowardly manipulators.
In the evening, Edrik hears reports from Zuu and Marquess Bill.
"I was too focused on defending the border so as not to know of any incident like this, thanks to Marquess Bill," Edrik said with a guilty look.
Marquess Bill grunts. "Your Majesty, why do you feel guilty? The one to blame is the imperious emperor, your own father. Are you sure you're still giving a position to the second prince who never worked to protect the country?"
Edrik did not reply, he thinned his lips and thought of the fate of the empire at the hands of his father and half-brother.
"This is just an example of one region, what about the other regions?" Ask Marquess Bill. "It won't be too late if you return to the capital."
Edrik tapped a finger on the table and looked at Marquess Bill.
Zuu rejected Marquess Bill's idea. "If the first prince does not descend into battle, who will descend?"
"We can look for competent knights and the trust of the first prince, the most important thing is to take the throne" replied Marquess Bill.
Zuu shook his head, he did not want the first prince to be considered stupid when dealing with politics, learning also took a short time considering the bustle of the first prince. "I still disagree, it takes time to find supporters and also study politics. The first prince only understood the strategy of war and foreign politics."
Marquess Bill was confused and suddenly got an idea. "What if the first prince is engaged to a woman who can help his position?"
Zuu increasingly disliked the idea that the Marquess put forward. "Thinking about marriage in the present moment? What the hell are you thinking? A political marriage can lead to war if it doesn't get the right woman."
The first prince agreed.
