The arrival of Scarlesia who was crowned as the next emperor certainly brought some opposition from some of the Evariste nobles. Ordinary people might agree to it but the nobles were many against it. Like what happened at the imperial meeting tonight held at the palace caused a commotion in the meeting. Unlike in the Roosevelt Empire, the nobles of the Evariste Empire were mostly led by women.
“CAN'T BE SO YOUR MAJESTY! ALTHOUGH SHE IS THE SON OF THE 57TH EMPEROR, YOU CANNOT MAKE HER AS THE CROWN PRINCESS!”
“WHY CAN'T IT? SHE CAN BECOME A CROWN PRINCESS BECAUSE SHE HAS INTELLIGENCE AND ABILITY ABOVE AVERAGE!”
“HOWEVER HE WAS AN OUTSIDER WHO SUDDENLY WALKED INTO EVARISTE! WE CAN'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED!”
“WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? YOU SHOULD KNOW HIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE. EVEN A POWER THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN US AS ORDINARY HUMANS,”
“RIGHT! HE EVEN SAVED MY LOST SON AND WAS KIDNAPPED BY QUEEN MIRANDA!”
Pros and cons clashed, some of them agreed to the appointment of Scarlesia as crown princess and the rest strongly opposed for various unreasonable reasons. Edward as the leader of the meeting could not do anything, he had been tired since they had stopped their debate.
Brakkkk
The meeting room door was wide open, Qirani came with Feodor by breaking down the entrance. The whole commotion disappeared as soon as they saw Qirani, they could not help but talk and shout again. In the silent meeting room, Feodor guided Qirani to sit beside Edward.
“Why silence? Just continue what you guys had a fuss about,” ketus Qirani.
“Mother, why are you here?” edward whispered to ask.
“So I heard something was wrong here so I just decided to go in,” replied Qirani again whispering.
“Yes, I have trouble controlling them,”
Qirani stared intently at the nobles, his flat expressionless countenance making them even less bold to speak.
“So I heard that some of you did not agree that Scarlesia would be made crown princess. Tell me the reason why you didn't approve,” press Qirani.
“Your Majesty, he is an outsider. Even though his mother is the 57th emperor we can't just trust her,”
“Really His Majesty! He had been in the Roosevelt Empire for a long time so he couldn't possibly know anything about Evariste. What if he controls everything and lets the people die? We still don't know its nature,”
“What are you saying? TRY SAYING IT AGAIN! HOW DARE YOU SAY SHIT ABOUT MY GRANDCHILD! HOWEVER HIS SON BELA IS PART OF EVARISTE! YOU GUYS THINK THERE'S ANYONE MORE SUITABLE THAN HIM TO BE EMPEROR?!” yukah Qirani was angry.
Suddenly a yellow-cloaked middle-aged woman brandished her hand for permission in response to what Qirani had said.
“Do you think you only have one granddaughter? You forget that your son Prince Rashid also has a daughter named Abigail can also be used as a candidate for the crown princess? You must be fair dong Your Majesty, do not because the girl is the son of Emperor Anabela Evariste you immediately make her the crown princess,” criticism Duke Deborah, who is a high-level noble Evariste.
Deborah and Freya were both high-ranking nobles who held the position of duke in the Evariste Empire. Their nature is always as contradictory as water and oil are hard to blend, often in their imperial meetings end in endless long debates.
“I agree with what Duke Freya said because ordinary people are also very happy to know that Scarlesia will be the next emperor. As we know, the problem of kidnapping, drought disaster, to the most powerful wave of monsters that play a role here is Scarlesia herself. As for Abigail, what has she done for Evariste besides playing with men?” timpal Marquess Liana defending Duke Freya.
Duke Deborah looked annoyed that she felt cornered by the two of them, in the end a man spoke up to mediate the matter.
“Your Majesty, if it continues this way then there will be no meeting point. What if we hold some exams for the two of them? If any of them finish the exam perfectly, then she will be the next crown princess,” Viscount Gino advised.
Qirani, Edward, Feodor nodded and exchanged glances, they thought it would also not hurt them to try so that the opposition in the meeting this time ended in a fair result. The other nobles also agreed on the proposal of Viscount Gino.
“Alright, let's do it like that. We are to hold an exam for the two candidates for the crown princess,” concluded Edward and cover the meeting tonight.
Meanwhile, Scarlesia was currently inside her room to prepare to go to sleep. She had just finished her bath and changed her clothes in her sleeping pajamas. Scarlesia repeatedly sighed heavily, she seemed to think of something quite complicated.
“Your Majesty, is something wrong?” ask Erin.
“Can you guys call me Miss as usual? I'm still not used to being called ‘Yang Mulia’,” pinta Scarlesia.
“No Your Majesty, we can not call you ‘Nona’ as usual,” reject Erin is called Hana.
“Ya is up to you,” resigned Scarlesia.
“But exactly what are you thinking? Is there anything that bothers your mind Your Majesty?” ask Hana to know.
“Excite Your Majesty, soon you will become emperor,” Erin said encouragingly.
“It looks like being emperor won't be that easy because I think there are still a lot of problems that will block my path,”
“It is better tonight you rest first Your Majesty, tomorrow think about this problem again,” Hana's advice.
“Yes, I'd better sleep now,”
Erin and Hana deliver Scarlesia to her bed, they lay Scarlesia down and envelop her. After that they turned off the room lights and replaced them with sleeping lights, then they came out leaving Scarlesia to sleep soundly. It turned out that Scarlesia could not close her eyes, she just looked at the ceiling of the room that still felt unfamiliar to her.
“I can't sleep, then I'll go outside for a while,”
