“Oliver? Why are you here?” wonder Scarlesia.
“Of course to see you, I've heard everything that happened in the palace last night,” Oliver said.
“Where did you know?”
“Actually the news of you canceling the engagement, slapping the crown prince, even breaking a glass has spread throughout the empire,” explained Oliver.
Scarlesia patted her forehead, she had not expected the news to be spread this fast.
“Then what are you here for?”
“To greet you my dear,” replied Oliver as he kissed the back of Scarlesia's hand.
Scarlesia quickly pulled back her hand, then Oliver handed her a bouquet of flowers. Scarlesia had no reason to reject him so she just accepted it. Seeing Scarlesia receive the flowers given by Oliver, Zenon and Andreas growled.
“Sia, why did you accept this man's gift? You should have thrown it away!” zenon was angry.
“Let me help crush the flowers,” bargain Andreas.
“No! You guys can't be like this, please don't fight or I won't talk to you guys anymore!” scarlesia's bluff left Zenon and Andreas speechless.
Oliver smiled at the two of them, he felt this was his victory.
“You are Oliver too! Don't fight with them!” scarlesia's tirade also left Oliver speechless.
“Mampus!” zenon sneered.
Scarlesia glanced sharply at the laughing Zenon, she went back to silence because she thought Scarlesia when angry was very creepy. Then Scarlesia told them all to go inside because outside the sun was very hot and very hot.
“Oliver, is what I asked for done?” ask Scarlesia.
“Already,”
Oliver pulls out Scarlesia's gun, he gives it to Scarlesia.
“The weapon named this gun is quite unique, I slightly changed in it to adjust to the magic bullet. The number of bullets in it is unlimited, so no matter how many times you use it the bullets will not run out. When you fire at an opponent, this bullet will penetrate his body and damage his internal organs. This magic bullet will not make the person you hurt bleed precisely this will penetrate in without having to remove blood stains,” explains Oliver possessed Scarlesia.
“What is a kind of weapon?” asked Zenon curiously.
“Yes, you guys saw it for the first time right?”
“No, isn't the time in the slave market Sia ever used it?” Andreas says.
“Oh was right that time I used it,”
“What is this weapon so great?” ask Zenon again.
“Yes, I saw Sia using this weapon can make the target's head hollow and immediately died in one shot,” Andreas replied.
“Woah great, can I borrow it?”
“Cannot! I know you use it to hurt people so I won't let you wear it.” Scarlesia refused.
“Hmm a stupid dragon like you could possibly wear it,” Oliver chirped at Zenon.
“Stop! Don't quarrel!” ban Scarlesia firmly.
Zenon was forced to massage his chest, he did not want Scarlesia to be angry so right now he had to hold back his anger in order not to explode. Oliver is so annoying to him, he is annoyed to see Oliver who is acting so close to Scarlesia.
At the same time, the imperial court held a sudden meeting because Scarlesia's actions last night caused sudden unease in each of the noble factions. They are currently holding a meeting led by Kenric, the emperor.
“Your Majesty Duke Eginhardt! You have to explain to us the behavior of your daughter last night,” said Marquess Jarvas, who was a long-time enemy of the Duke Eginhardt family.
“What has my daughter done? I think it's natural my daughter is angry with the crown prince,” cynical Eldrick.
“How can you justify your daughter's actions?”
“Really! She would be a threat if left alone, I can't imagine how could your daughter be such a sassy and brash child to a member of the empire?”
“And also said he would set up a harem? Isn't that wrong?”
The nobles chimed in, they were trying to corner Eldrick at the moment.
“Oh what did you guys just say? My daughter is brash? Didn't you see firsthand that the crown prince almost beat my daughter? You guys are blind, right? From the beginning my daughter was not wrong at all because she had been hurt by the crown prince all along. If it's your daughter who experienced it how do you feel as a Dad?”
The nobles fell silent and exchanged glances, they couldn't answer him because they also thought that what Eldrick said was true as well.
“Then about my daughter going to set up a harem of course I will agree to it if she wants. If you say another bad thing about my daughter, I will cut off your tongue and make it my daughter's pet white tiger,” threatened Eldrick to shine a sharp spotlight on them all.
“White tiger? Even your daughter keeps a beast as well huh, aren't you wrong to let your daughter be indecent to the crown prince? He could be a great threat or even create a rebellion on the emperor,”
Marquess Javar tried to herd unreasonable opinions so that the other nobles again cornered Eldrick so as to result in the good name of the family of Duke Eginhardt who had been taken care of as best as possible.
“It looks like you're going crazy huh marquess? Our family is known for its loyalty to the emperor from time immemorial. The war that the empire has always won doesn't that include our family's great contribution in it? Including the war that was recently won, the most meritorious was my son, Aldert. Are you saying that to try to shake the empire with baseless opinions?”
The tension in the meeting room grew increasingly suffocating, their veins clashing with each other eventually creating an unpleasant atmosphere.
“Already, you guys don't fuss anymore,” lerai Kenric.
Since the emperor had already broken them, finally their veins slackened each other again and turned each other's faces away.
“But Duke Eginhardt, I cannot accept the request of your daughter who wishes to cancel the engagement with the crown prince. Unilateral cancellation of engagement is not valid,” said Kenric who refused the cancellation of this engagement.
“Omong empty what did you just say Your Majesty? You reject? Are you trying to tie my daughter up?”
“I did try to bind your daughter, just as they said if your fearless daughter was left alone it would turn into a great threat to the empire. Therefore I tried to bind him through his later status as empress, so that I as former emperor could watch his movements more easily,”
Braakkk
“Your Majesty! It can't be like that. The crown prince has hurt my daughter, have you not thought about his tormented feelings all this time by the crown prince? I will not approve if my daughter should marry the crown prince,” press Eldrick kicked off his desk.
“Relax His Highness the Duke, you cannot behave like this in the presence of His Majesty the Emperor,” said one of the nobles.
“I don't want to know, the point is I won't let this happen,” insisted Eldrick out of the meeting room.
“Where are you going? His Majesty the Emperor is still here!”
Eldrick no longer cared about his meeting, which he knew now his emotions were stirred up by the emperor. Right now he had no other choice but to head back to the mansion and talk about it with Scarlesia.
