episode 23: An impromptu meeting held by ministers

...episode 23's...

...****************...

"alright. Keep checking in as you want." The emperor Tukas decided to agree to the request of the A-camp.

"!"

Kubu B looked at each other with their disappointed expressions. While the A-forces were smiling and turned to B-forces as if they were mocking.

"But the limit is only three days. After three days you can't do any more checks!" Emperor continues.

The smiles of the A campers suddenly faded after hearing the emperor's decision. Their faces seemed to be a difference of opinion and disbelief.

"I'm sorry, I interrupted you, but, Your Honor, three days is not enough...

The prime minister's speech of A's camp was interrupted when the emperor raised his hand as a 'stop' code to him. Who would listen to his opinion? They were clearly given a chance but still not satisfied enough.

Only one word could describe them, 'LANCANG'

"I want this case stopped! Please do as you wish" he said, looking unhappy at the brazen treatment of his prime minister

"Please open the second case." He then told the B faction to open a second case as it had been filed for an impromptu meeting.

The B faction nodded while the A faction was too dissolved in their irritation. They instead glanced at the B factions sharply.

"Reviewing from one month ago, appeared a businessman with wealth who had already dominated the Xiao mainland. 92 Out of 100% of every region is controlled by its business. Even 50% of the kingdom has been dominated by this person."

"Hamba proposed a suggestion to his highness to crack down decisively on those who have dared to surpass members of the royal family. If that keeps happening, then there's no such thing as a royal family." The faction from B camp explained the second case that had been requested by the emperor.

"!"

The emperor's forehead shriveled upon hearing this.

"Start again! What does a member of the royal family have to do with the rich, then?! I think I have a prime minister who is too greedy and spiteful." The emperor whispered in his heart while massaging his forehead.

The eunuch beside him also clearly knew that the emperor was thinking the thoughts he was thinking right now.

"We must move quickly to the emperor. We must not share power with a commoner or a nobleman." Further.

"You're royalty too!" Emperor with flat.

"Close this case! I don't want to open a childish case." Continue by affirming the word 'childish'.

"!"

"?!"

"No! Sorry, emperor. But if they intend anything bad to the royal family, we must not take any chances, emperor." Said faction B so pleading while praising the emperor.

The emperor was puzzled by it, he was at a loss to respond to what more the requests from his ministers would be like.

"Find information about that person. If you've found her identity, bring her here. We will make a covenant" said the emperor.

The ministers who listened to the emperor smiled happily. Yet...

"Treat that person politely! Until someone moves in and hurts that person then he will be severely punished! Even doing a cooperation would be much more profitable than having to behave cunningly!" And then start going from there.

"THIS IS THE ORDAINED TITLE OF THE EMPEROR!" Say the eunuch aloud and stamp the seal on both opened cases.

"LONG LIFE OF THE EMPEROR, LONG LIFE AND BLESSED." Say them in unison and then sing at the same time.

Of course the emperor's word was like an order from a god to them. They would not have possibly dared to do something that was up to inviting anger from the emperor.

While the prime ministers were still preoccupied with their annoyance, in the same room setting where Su Luxie healed the crown prince, the crown prince was seen performing his bath ritual filled with red roses.

Accompanied by two female servants who helped her to apply scrubs on her back, hmm really a very comfortable sight.

The crown prince was closing his eyes while leaning his head on the corner of his bath pool so wide. His two big hands stretched out between the ends of the pool.

He breathed out and said, "You guys get out." Have the crown prince stare intently at the door of the room.

The two female servants stood up and approached each other, they both bowed to the crown prince to pay their respects. After doing that, they went from there.

The crown prince glanced at a slightly tenuous window with the corner of his eye.

"How long do you want to be there, get out!" He told someone who had been standing by the window.

After saying that, suddenly the window opened and revealed a black-haired man he had tied up and a black veil. The man wore all black clothes with a large sword that always perched on his shoulders.

It felt an aura large enough from the man that a commoner would not be able to feel the prowess of the man.

"Hamba salutes you, master." He said in a cool sounding voice.

"Is there anything you want to say?" Asked the crown prince again closed his eyes while leaning his head on the corner of the pond.

"All the information you asked for 2 years ago I got. Are you letting me move now?" The answer.

"Just do it."

"Oh yeah, don't forget to look for information about the woman. I want something very detailed about him." The crown prince continued with a faint smile he began to sink his face into the pool of roses.

"?"

"Ba, well, master." The man replied and then disappeared like a shadow.

The Xiao Empire was now rejoicing because of the good news coming from the empire. It was a joy to the people when they found out that the prince of the only Xiao kingdom had now woken up from his long slumber.

As their joy, there has been a pessimal celebration in the city center and markets.

There were many fireworks and thousands of lanterns adorning the ceiling and lakes of the Xiao Empire.

The starry night sky looks very beautiful with the lanterns of the people who pray for the health of the crown prince.

Meanwhile, in a room with 5 servants was serving a woman who was sitting weakly in her bed. The other woman was not not Su Luxie who was still in a limp state.

Beside him was Merlyn who faithfully always accompanied him.

"As for the state of the Crown Prince?" Su Luxie asked with a massage of her own shoulders.

"The prince is fine, miss. He's in his room to rest." Answer one of the servants there.

Su Luxie nodded as soon as she heard the reply from the maid. His pale face slowly showed a puzzled reaction.

"It's weird. Why would a negative aura entering my body be able to awaken a new gift? I can see a person's past just by touching it. Not only that, I can sense if my mana poison is getting stronger by 10 times." Benak Su Luxie was silent by sitting at the corner of her bed.

"?"

"Sorry, miss, do you need anything." Ask one of the other servants.

"Nothing," Su Luxie replied "Oh yeah, I'll be gone in a minute. I'll write you a letter, you'll have to give it to the emperor." Further.

"All right, miss."
