A sly grin rose on Krystal's lips, he sipped a moment of the warm tea that Olin had served. Thinking that the opportunity to become the Crown Princess is getting closer in plain sight without having to bother to get it. Krystal immediately hid the sneaky expression that had crossed while fixing the sitting position.
“But, if I may know, why am I chosen to be the next Crown Princess candidate? Wouldn't it be better if Emilia were advancing?” ask Krystal.
“Your Majesty, I will say frankly that we want the destruction of the current Emperor.”
Violet Krystal's eyes widened in disbelief at Duke Salvatore's statement, seeing from the look on her face, Krystal was sure that it was not just a joke or playful. Whether on what basis they want to overthrow the current Emperor's government, Krystal must now know in detail and definitely the reason behind it.
“Why? Wasn't the current Emperor suggested as the most powerful reigning Emperor in history? The prosperity that the people dreamed of could all be realized by the current Emperor. So, give me a detailed explanation of exactly what made you guys want the Emperor's downfall?” search Krystal.
Duke Salvatore gulped as he looked into Krystal's sharp eyes, for a moment he was afraid of mispronouncing Krystal, but he forced himself to explain to Krystal his true intentions and goals.
“Compared to the Emperor who is good at ruling, he is more accurately referred to as the puppet Emperor. Did you know that every policy issued by the Emperor was the result of incitement from the nobles? All the nobles who were under the Emperor's orders with the heart to corruption in order to prosper themselves. People are forced to pay large amounts of taxes, but they do not get decent results.”
“Mainly health problems, Princess Emilia only gave blessings and healed people from among the nobility. Meanwhile, the common people were left to die in sickness. Many times the people complained of asking for justice, repeatedly I and other nobles asked the Emperor to issue protection for the common people, but everything was nil. Our voice does not reach the Emperor, even now many thugs rule the roads and markets where the people make a living, every day there are always deaths everywhere.”
“Then even worse, orphaned children were sold in the slave market. They are considered as imperial burdens, the people do not know about this but I have witnessed it firsthand. Your Majesty, this empire is ruled by irresponsible greedy trash, please accept our plea as you are the only hope for the people of Albertine.”
Duke Salvatore bowed deeply pleading with Krystal to accept her request. He explained to Krystal a situation that his own eyes could not see, a situation where the state of this empire was worse than his shadow.
“If the situation is indeed that severe, it means I have to intervene directly. Alright, I will accept the candidate nomination as Crown Princess,” replied Krystal, Duke Salvatore smiled relievedly hearing the approval from Krystal, “Before that, can you bring me down directly into the community to closely observe the situation?” ask Krystal then.
“According to your request, I'll take you to see directly.”
After that, Olin immediately helped Krystal to get ready, he asked Olin to put on the simplest dress so that she looked like an ordinary person. However, there are things that make him feel bad.
“Why are you all here? Is there anything you want to tell me?” krystal asked the concubines who had entered the room with a clear face.
“Are you just going to go outside with Duke Salvatore? Why don't you take us away together?” ask Ash.
Krystal exhaled, apparently they asked to be invited by Krystal.
“Taking all of you is impossible, I will just go observe for a while, later I come home quickly. So, you better be here,” said Krystal.
But, they did not give up just like that, they increasingly showed a clear face and begged to come along. Krystal shook her head, she herself could not let the handsome faces of her concubines clear. Krystal stroked his chest, he was almost trapped because of the handsome face that made him have to always hold back so as not to forget himself and not to forget his main purpose.
Krystal thought for a moment who was the most appropriate for her to take with her, observing end to end Krystal finally rounding out the decision, Krystal pointed towards Shion.
“I decided to bring Shion,” Krystal said.
The entire concubine placed envy and anger at Shion, they directed a hostile look. While Shion smiled triumphantly because he was the one chosen by Krystal to go together.
“Shion, I think we need to talk.” Lucio pressed Shion's shoulder, Lucio's eyes like they were about to pounce on Shion.
“No need, because I'm going on a date with His Majesty,” Shion said, releasing Lucio's hand from his shoulder.
“Baj*ngan! You're lucky to have been chosen by His Majesty, it feels so unfair.” Austin shook Shion's body which still maintained a mocking smile.
“Stop that ugly smile of yours! I don't like it!” angry Ash is fiery.
Julian as the calmest concubine felt the heat in his heart imagining Krystal going on a road with Shion instead of him. Krystal could clearly see that the current one who held the most jealousy was Julian because the electrical element had gushed out from the fingertips.
“Should I just wipe this guy out now? I really don't like it.” Vincenzo almost made a big fuss there, fortunately Krystal was quick to stop Vicenzo.
“That's enough! I don't want you guys making my room a mess.”
Krystal stopped the concubine debate, then she drew closer to Vincenzo and whispered, “Come to my room later tonight.”
Vincenzo immediately lowered his passionate emotions, his lips slowly forming a blistering smile.
“Alright, I'm not getting mad at Shion. I bless the journey of you two,”, said Vicenzo suddenly.
The concubines were curious about Krystal, they were curious about what she had whispered to Vicenzo to make her tame. Krystal immediately turned her face away from the whole curious look.
“Ya already, now I'm going to leave with Shion. You take good care of the palace and do not forget to watch Heros, fearing that later someone will come to harm him,” message Krystal while pulling Shion's hand.
Krystal and Shion rushed out of the room, Olin had been chewing watermelon in the corner of the room feeling astonished by the concubines who never got along.
“It turns out that it is difficult to also be a beautiful person, look at Your Majesty to the point of being overwhelmed by his concubines,” muttered Olin.
