Northern Duchess
Chapter 52

After getting a call and information from Melody, and Rexid, Damian immediately held an important meeting with the Nobles and Acting.

The room looked so serious with all the faces present that were so tense they were worried about what was going to happen this time, it was rare for the Emperor to make such sudden calls and meetings.

"What do you think is going on this time?"asked a noble with a tense face.

"I guessed it too" answered the others.

"We can't fight anymore, right?"ask an official in foreign diplomatic relations.

"It seems not that if it is a war then all the rulers in the Empire will be invited to the Palace to discuss it" a military official said.

"This must be something else that is very important and cannot be delayed anymore" replied Political Minister Duke Carvalo.

Before long a shout that voiced the arrival of Kaisara made all of them simultaneously stand up from their respective seats.

"Your Majesty Emperor Damian Van BlueMoon entered the meeting room!!!!"

"Give respect to the sun of BlueMoon Empire, Emperor Damian Van BlueMoon!!"say everything in the room while greeting Damian in unison.

"Well enough, please sit back" said the Emperor, raising one hand to let him know that they were all allowed to sit, before sitting in his own chair.

"Thank you for the graciousness of His Majesty the Emperor" said everyone who had been sitting back in their respective couris.

"Well can we start now?"ask Damian.

Everyone nodded steadily.

"Well, before that, do you know why I gathered you all together?"ask Damian.

"No Your Majesty" they said.

Some answered, some shook their heads not knowing anything, and some just quietly absorbed all the information.

"You know the barrier that became the fortress for the Imperial capital of the monster forest?"ask Emperor.

"Of course we know that clearly, Your Majesty" Duke Carvalo said.

"Hah~, that's the problem, the panghalang is now weakened and can be sure that on a wave of times it may be the clerk will not be able to bear it" Damian said.

Which made the atmosphere inside the meeting room very tense, they knew what it meant, that the Empire was currently in a dangerous critical period.

If the barrier were to disappear then a wave of monsters would come also to the capital, and such a large number of them could not face it at all.

"I got the information from Duchess Salvier and Pengeran 2, they said that the barrier was too old so that little by little it was eroded and started to disappear, Duchess Salvier couldn't fix it because she needed her spell, while the spell stored in the Northern Duchy was gone"

"And there's only one way right now that is to bring the original magic book, and it's all in the 'Secret World'"

"And some of you here must have known abjqa 'Secret World' can only be entered by the Emperor_" Damian's sentence is now cut off by Duke Milian, and Duke Carvalo suddenly stood up and opposed it.

"Can't Your Majesty, you can't leave!"duke Carvalo.

"Right Your Majesty, it's too risky for you, and also who will rule this Empire when you leave" Duke Milian said.

He absolutely could not let the Emperor leave for the time being, if His Majesty were to leave then Empress Dowager 1 would definitely take this opportunity to replace the Emperor's position for a while, and what if that happened what he feared was that Empress Dowager 1 would ruin all the efforts of the Emperor and him in taking all the rights that were in the hands of Empress Dowager 1.

Sighing Damian knew what Duke Milian was thinking but right now he could not be selfish at all, right now the lives and welfare of the people were at stake.

"I know you will oppose it but the lives of all the people of the Empire are at stake at this time" the Emperor said sternly, the sentence apparently enough to make everyone think hard again.

"Huft~, then who will you appoint as the provisional ruler?"ask Duke Carvalo.

Hearing that question the Emperor smiled this was the question he had been waiting for.

"See, the 2nd Prince is completely incompatible with this position, the 3rd Prince is currently in foreign affairs and it is impossible to ask him to return, he said, while the 3rd Princess did not have the ability to do so, while the 1st Empress Dowager, she was not a match at all, and I am sure of all of you that many will challenge her"the Emperor looked at them all.

Everyone in the room nodded in agreement, Empress Dowager 1 is indeed strong and powerful but her arrogant, cunning nature makes her disliked by many Officials and Nobles.

"So, Your Majesty, who will you point to?"ask an Office.

"That's why I gathered all of you together because I don't know who to refer to either" the Emperor said with a bright smile.

"Hufttt~, how was it with Duke Milian that he was good enough to be a temporary Emperor" followed a Noble.

"I don't agree, after all Duke Milian has too much work would you torture him?"said another noble.

"Who then?, Duke Carvalo?"said an official who was also confused.

Now a debate was going on between the Nobles and their Officials debating about who would be the Emperor while the Emperor left.

Even the meeting place became like a battlefield with many debates that were even like cornering his opponents.

The Emperor who listened to all of that felt very dizzy, in his Empire somehow no one wanted to be Emperor, how difficult it was.

"Ehem!, sorry Your Majesty"one now raised his hand making everyone look at him.

He's Marques Mathina's direction.

"Yes, Marques do you have a proposal?"ask Emperor.

"Your Majesty isn't it, the condition to enter the 'Secret World' is 'the origin of a person is the blood of the BlueMoon Empire, a Warrior, and a great Swordsman, and also having the Crown on his head then he is the one who can enter know entitled to 'Secret World', which means not that it is not necessary for an Emperor to leave but just send someone the blood of the Empire and enthrone him as a temporary Emperor then he has the qualifications to enter the 'Secret World'"said Marques Marhina who made everyone think again.

If you think that's true too, what else is the phrase 'Fighter, and Great Swordsman' is not at all the Emperor now.
