The Thousand Year Dynasty
02. Voting
Ten days before the planned departure of Aksa and Nata, it appears Lucia is holding another meeting. Attended by members of the cabinet and its parliament.
He planned to ask for something related to Aksa's decision and Christmas to others.
Even Caspian, Vossler, Helen, and Anna and Mateus were present at the venue.
Although only a few knew what Lucia was going to talk about, yet many people could already guess.
While Aksa and Nata who began to busy making plans and guidelines for each part, did not know it.
"So during the last week, I've been thinking a lot. Also asking for opinions from many people" said Lucia who stood in front of 40 people opening the meeting.
The room calmed down as soon as Lucia started talking. Everyone seemed to be carefully listening to Lucia's words.
"The kingdoms out there still see this region as small and weak, so there will always be other kingdoms besides the Urbar kingdom that will try to disrupt our territory in the future" Lucia searched his words.
Everyone was still looking carefully waiting for Lucia's words.
"Maybe I was a child all along. And I also admitted that I was too naive" Lucia continued.
"It was at first I who forced Aksa and Nata to wake up a city. A city that has rules that will change the old rules of the world. A city that aims to protect the people in need.
"And to make this happen, inevitably this region must become stronger. Growing bigger. I am well aware of that.
"But when this city was about to go in that direction, I felt terrified myself. When Aksa and Nata got serious about making a change, I subconsciously tried to slow it down.
"I'm afraid I can't be a good leader. I was afraid I could not make the right decision. I am afraid I cannot be wise in dealing with a problem. I am so full of that fear.
"And I'm still like that to this day" Lucia sighed in dissecting his words.
"But I remember that this region was made not for just one person. Therefore, now I want to return the decision to you all. Which also has rights over this territory" Lucia again continued.
"Maybe indeed the purpose of Aksa and Nata sounds very personal and selfish. But behind that, they want to avoid the new upheaval that occurs when the balance of power in the central region of the southern mainland is lame, after the strength of the Urbar kingdom is reduced. And it will most likely lead to a new war to fight again over the Holy Land.
"This is not only for Aksa and Nata, but also for our region. So now I want to ask you guys. Is it better to stop this war right now, or should we take down the Urbar kingdom and take over the Holy Land. We're going to define our territory together" Lucia concluded later.
Lucia's words immediately triggered a sudden commotion. The people in the room started talking to each other at the same time.
"Law! Where can he get such words from?" Aksa was seen shaking while clapping faintly. "I'll have him write a speech for the awarding of the Noble Prize that I'll receive in the future" he added.
"The girl sometimes. Maybe if in our place, he is suitable to be a Talkshow host, or a talent show jury" said Nata responded to Aksa.
"Hope all calm" Orland said with a slight shout to overcome the noise of the room.
"Are you sure, princess? If others want to take down Urbar, then you will trigger upheaval both in the south and in the north" Nata confirmed when Lucia again sat in her seat next to Nata.
"And remember, you will be a queen" Aksa added.
"I will continue to follow whatever the outcome of this election is. Perhaps this is my way of outsmarting my inability to choose" Lucia replied. "But after thinking about it in earnest, it seems like I shouldn't just stay put, as others develop" he added.
"What was your fall last night? Why are you acting so right?" Aksa.
"You can't complain or whine later" Nata reminded.
"Maybe it will be like that. But at least I will learn not to" Lucia replied lightly.
"All right" Orland took over the meeting. "This time we won't just vote. We will also discuss the reasons and reasons. In order to get a decision that is really best for everyone" he explained later.
"Alright then, we'll just go straight. For those who agree we will drop the kingdom of Urbar raise your hand." Orland began the vote.
And unexpectedly, even Aksa and Nata looked surprised. Everyone in the room raised their hands. Without exception. Even the Yllgarians agreed.
"Well, is this Prank or what?" Chirps Aksa saw this.
"You don't have to raise your hand just to hold us" Nata said.
"really. Because we've agreed, that this is all about the good of our territory" Lucia added.
"Ketar-ketir huh, princess?" Saut Aksa is not understood by Lucia.
"Obviously I raised my hand because I wanted to hold you both. But logically too, being stronger means cutting back on people who are deliberately looking for trouble with us" Dirk said.
"really. Getting bigger means getting more respected. Who wouldn't want that" Saut Sigurd who was immediately struck by Shuri in the head.
"Take a look at you, Sig" this time Cedrik spoke next to Sigurd.
"I agree because it's the only way to keep the central region out of chaos" Mateus said.
"I raised my hand because I wanted to hold you back" this time Amithy said. "Besides me I also have the same grudges as you guys" he added later.
"I am too." Some people seem to speak almost simultaneously. Their voices overlap each other.
"You guys are aggressive too. Even until you agree, Wise?" Aksa seemed really curious as to why the Yllgarians agreed to it as well.
"Because we feel to be guards and even an example. We must be in the position of chairman, in order to be seen and obeyed" the ghostly bururg replied.
"Because we believe that your example should be spread over the walls of the Pharos hill" Safiya the bat added.
"From today I will call the five of you Guru" said Aksa as soon as he heard the words of the Yllgarian Sages.
"I think even though our reasons are different, our goals are the same. Make this region thrive. Not only so that no one will interfere in the future, but also to be a role model for other regions" Orland said later.
"Why do I feel like I'm in a hero story, huh? Make goosebumps aja" Aksa said while touching the nape of his neck.
"really. It was as if soon there would be a threat that would destroy the world" Nata chimed in.
"All right then. It's decided. That we're going to take down the Urbar kingdom" Lucia seemed to have stood up again before the others.
Hearing this, everyone clapped their hands.
"And from this moment on I Lucia Eleanor Elbrasta the fifth, will strive to be a good leader. So please cooperate" Lucia continued. He was greeted with applause at the end of his speech.
"He's a rich campaigner. Though from the past it has been the leader of this region" said Aksa commenting on Lucia's speech.
"Yes at least now we have a weapon if he starts to mess around later" Nata replied Aksa.
"You should've recorded that with your phone, Nat"
"Oh, that's right"
