Ruler 5 Elemental 2: To The Throne Of God
A close friend who is considered family

"I'm surprised, you're an imperial princess, but why would you do such a troublesome thing?" Selena scrunched her forehead.

"I asked for it Selena." Zeno spoke up shortly after he swallowed his food. "By the way, soon Aure will be my successor, you will be the emperor in my stead."

Suddenly everyone in the dining room was surprised, except Turse who only wiped his mouth using a napkin, because he felt it was enough to eat. In addition, he was not surprised because he already knew why Zeno would resign and asked Aure to take his place.

"Emperor, you're kidding right? Is there anything that you raised the princess to be emperor? You're not gonna die, are you?" Nora immediately sat up straight after Zeno said so, she was already enough of a friend as well as considering Zeno as her brother, so getting the shocking news made her quite panicked.

Looking at the seemingly calm Turse, Nora shook the arm of Turse who had just finished the meal, "Madam, look, why don't you panic when the emperor gives you a will?" 

"Nora, finish your meal, don't call me madam understand? We're our age. Though, I've been warning you for eight years." Turs sneered with a sigh before he continued, "What Une said is true, that he will not be emperor again, nor will I, nor will I be empress again."

"What does that mean?" Selena and Aure said in unison, they were completely confused by the attitude of their madam san master who said out of the blue. "Are you guys hostile and decided to get divorced? So you two chose to leave the empire and return to your families?" Selena's eyes looked glazed over, she was trying to digest what the two of them had just said.

"Sister, no! I won't let you get divorced! I don't want to be emperor if you two go that way." Aure with a very sour face.

Turs and Zeno looked at each other and held back a laugh, apparently, the tone of the two of them that let out made them very panicked as if there was such a serious problem. 

"Who is divorced? You guys are so fucking insolent." Zeno said in a slightly high tone, but he continued with a lowered voice, "Me and Turs are going to a world, a world far away, a world far away, even you all won't be able to break through it except in a certain way."

"So, we won't see you two again? I beg you to allow me to come along so that I can be together with the two of you" Nora's eyes suddenly glazed over, she had difficulty stringing up a word after Zeno said so.

"Nora, relax! If we have time, we will come back. Besides, if you come, who regulates the state's finances? Look, thanks to you all the academies in the Empire are free." Turse calmed Nora who looked about to whine. 

"You guys are really evil!" Nora stood up from her dining chair, the woman seemed to rub her eyes while going out of the dining room.

The atmosphere instantly became very quiet, even Selena and Aure lowered their heads after hearing what the husband and wife had said. Going to another world, it was a very stupid thing that they heard, because it would make someone not come back again.

She already thought that her friend was family, like Turs being her beloved wife, Aure was an excellent cousin, and Nora and Selena were already considered like a little sister to Zeno. So, his part might he not be sad to leave it all? With the exception of Turse, he can be a little relieved when Turs who became his wife followed him due to the orders of the goddess. In addition to being a friend, as well as doing something for Turse in the final battle later.

"I don't have a family line with Aurrora's grandmother, but why would you easily hand over your power to a stranger?" Aure asked, she was still downcast staring at her food with a lost Taste. His head was so dizzy at the thought of the decision that he would become an emperor.

"You must not say, does not 80% of the population of the continent of Artrik have the same ancestor, Artrik? Your parents and my grandmother are still descendants. Most importantly, do not hand over your power to someone who is not a native of the continent of Artrik or is not a descendant of Artrik." Zeno tried to explain to Zeno, "And one more, marry to have a descendant in order to inherit this empire." 

"Why aren't you the only ones with offspring? You've been married for eight years, but you always say not to have children first."

Zeno looked back at Turs and smiled. He gave a signal to Turs who explained it, because he was completely out of words this time. 

The real Turs wanted to leave because his food was up, he just pursed his mouth. However, he immediately explained, "I just want to have a longer romance with your emperor without anyone interfering. Even without children, you're always bothering us."

Aure smiled slightly, yet she was still sad when Zeno and Turse would no longer be in this world.

Zeno rubbed his mouth with a napkin, indicating that he was done eating, but before leaving, he continued, "I have discussed this at the meeting, The higher-ups Nefd and the others did not mind. You will be appointed one month later, right after I return from the top emperor's meeting. And …. I went to that world also not through this continent, but rather in a place that became the center among the four cardinal directions. So you could say, this is our last meeting."

Hearing that, Selena lowered her head with glistening eyes, her appetite was also suddenly gone, it seemed that she would not be able to see her first friend again. However, he also had a question thrown at Zeno. "How are you going to go to the world you mean?" 

"That's why I'm waiting for my three beasts to come home."

"Sir." The figure of the man with a hint of orange hair came cutting off Zeno's conversation, with his radiant face indicating that he was getting some happy news. "Byakko, Seiryu and also Ganbu returned and brought along as you commanded." Said the person who was none other than Uron.

"Finally, I just talked about it." Zeno sighed, "By the way don't let him do such a reckless thing as burning down the house." 

"Turs, do you want me to show you something? Maybe this will be your gift someday. No, maybe this is a gift for you right now."
