The Newbie Is Too Strong's
87. Luca meets the Female Emperor
“Ukkkkkh!” I immediately stretched my back as soon as I finally arrived at my destination, feeling my first experience of riding a plane for more than a day.
Since the plane, family members of participants and participants of the vrmmorpg e-sport match have indeed been separated from their positions. That's why, during the trip, I didn't see Lia at all. Next to me were Nina, Raia, and Aunt Judith. I don't know why I feel lonely because of it.
From the arrival airport, the family members of the participants are directed to the hotel, while the participants of the race are directed to follow the technical meeting of the competition activities. So even when I arrived, I had not seen Lia at all.
But this is not the right time to think about it now. Tonight there is free time. I can't waste any time at all. Now is the right time to continue my training for Kak Nina and Kak Raia. I immediately dragged the two of them to practice vrmmorpg through one of the facilities provided for hotel guests.
“Luca, at least a day, let us take a walk to enjoy the view of New York.”
“Iya, Luca. Aren't you being too strict with her training?”
Brother Nina and Brother Raia seemed to be complaining, but I just ignored their complaints while giving a threatening look. But for some reason instead of being afraid, they laughed happily. Because in the end they obey my words, let's just say everything goes well.
I plan today to bring Kak Nina and Kak Raia to conquer the budding dungeon. Looking at their current levels and abilities, the mission was perfect for them to level-up to level 10.
But as soon as I entered the game, suddenly a message entered on my status board. It was from Uncle Heisel who said that I should as quickly as possible face the Lalania Emperor who related to my previous mission there.
I was confused about what the purpose of the emperor's call was to me because I remembered that the mission had been completed well and even I wrote the full report to the root of the problem about who was the mastermind of the rebellion. I even volunteered to help them defeat the demonic monsters rampaging in the imperial capital.
So what was the purpose of the Emperor calling me? Is it okay for Duke Trashio to try to deny his involvement and turn me into his scapegoat? Whatever it is, there's no point in me speculating here. I just have to make sure of it in person.
“What? You're kidding me, aren't you, Luca? Where can we finish his dungeon just the two of you?”
After I said that I would leave the two of them to level-up independently in the novice dungeon because I had a sudden mission, Sister Nina immediately protested.
“Take it easy, Nina. If Luca believes we can, then we should. We have to believe it. You said that yourself before, right?”
Fortunately, Raia wanted to compromise on my sudden business.
“Good. But you better take care of me, yeah, Raia. I will instantly lose my apprentice status once gameover because I am only level 5 now.”
“Just calm down, leave it to me.” Raia replied with confidence.
But after a second thought, what Kak Nina was afraid of had a point as well. It would be dangerous if Nina's brother was gameover right now. That means automatically the results of our hard work so far in capturing the pet for Kak Nina will be useless because with the loss of job status as an apprentice tamer, then automatically the pet in-tame him at this time will lose his soul connection with Kak Nina so that Kak Nina needs to process from the beginning again.
I immediately summoned Aura's Summon.
“Aura, please take care of Kak Nina and Kak Raia level-up process for now yes.”
“Ready, Master!” Reply Aura confidently.
I can also be relieved to leave the two of them under Aura's supervision. If there is anything, Aura can immediately tell me by telepathy and if needed, I can immediately use the ‘instant change’ skill that I recently obtained to exchange positions with Aura in an instant.
“Good, I leave it to you yes.”
After saying that, I also returned to using the portal in the novice village to connect with the portal in the assassin guild. After meeting Uncle Heisel for a moment to ask for details, I then immediately headed for the capital of the Lalania Empire through the portal.

An unfamiliar face was also seen among the crowd of palace officials. They are a duo of female players ranked two and three in the game previously witnessed by Luca beat the level 132 Dojoron with no sweat, as well as players who exceeded the level limit allowed for that human.
They're S07 and Lady Virus.
Virus Lady smiled and greeted Luca, “Oh, is not this young newbie who at that time managed to hold Dojoron before we came.” Said Virus Lady accompanied by a distinctive smile of her plump lips.
Luca simply lowered his head slightly in response to the courtesy towards the two great female players.
“The fifth Emperor of the Lalania Empire, Cecilia de Lalania, has arrived.”
As the chancellor said that, the audience lowered their heads politely before the emperor. Of course as a player, neither Luca, S07, nor Virus Lady had any obligation to it and they really did not do it at all.
The reason S07 was because she was the princess of a superior kingdom according to her point of view that would demean her if she bowed to the king of another country of lesser status
While Luca had taught his uncle firmly not to submit to anyone even to the king of power though because that was the firm principle held by the assassin guild all along. As for the reason the Lady Virus why it did not submit was for the ridiculous reason that it was troublesome.
Luca looked astonished at the emperor because the emperor was a sickly man in his 50s, not a beautiful woman.
“Hai, outsider! You are impolite before the Emperor!” It seemed that someone was shouting to rebuke their disrespect for not coming down. He was Hendric Albatarma who had risen from commander of the princess guard to commander of the imperial guard.
Simultaneously, the imperial troops then surrounded the three of them with spears in their hands. It was obvious that Virus Lady was unhappy with their insolent attitude. If it wasn't S07 who stopped him, he would have committed a heinous murder in that place.
Emperor Cecilia immediately raised her hand to stop his men, “That's enough, stop! They were not bound to the empire so had no obligation to do any honors before the emperor.
Thankfully the new emperor, Emperor Cecilia, was such an understanding that even the worst could be avoided in that place.
The Emperor then looked towards Luca as the person who indirectly contributed the most in the sincerity of his steps to become an emperor. Thanks to Luca, he was able to get rid of the poisonous thorn, Duke Trashio, through reports of his involvement with the Other rebellion.
After further excavation, apparently the Other organization which he said on behalf of the commoners had something to do with the necromancers who were currently causing a zombie incident on the border of the Lalania Empire with the land of death. It was Duke Trashio who was apparently the mastermind behind the success of these necromancers infiltrated their imperial territory.
The Other organization with the support of Duke Trashio not only carried out slavery, prostitution, human trafficking, and various other inhumanization efforts, but it is also the one most responsible for the zombie incident that killed many innocent lives.
With a little information engineering, Duke Trashio ended up also being blamed on Dojoron's earlier ambushes in the imperial capital.
Because of his high crimes, Emperor Cecilia had no trouble bringing Duke Trashio on the guillotine to be executed.
As for the queen and her two children, Emperor Cecilia was eliminated by using their own scheme. Through their negligence in deterring the forces of Emperor Cecilia while still serving as the imperial princess so as to fail to cope directly with Dojoron's attack, they were blamed as traitors of the state and also executed.
Everything went smoothly because the problem was overcome by Luca without receiving a mission from the queen so that the queen could not dodge anymore.
In the absence of any more competitors, as well as the condition of the sickly fourth emperor, Princess Cecilia was soon crowned the fifth Emperor of Lalania.
Luca's eyes finally met the female emperor who was the first time in the history of the Lalania Empire to have a female emperor.
Emperor Lalania smiled at Luca.
