The Thousand Year Dynasty
18. Release of Throne I
Lucia, who was in the Bartholomew family's residence, began contacting noble families close to her family for meetings before Lucia actually headed to the palace to meet her uncle Sebastian, the surrogate king.
Actually this was the idea of his uncle Orland. Which has a hidden purpose to make Lucia give up on her crazy idea, after receiving rejection and advice from other noble families.
The meeting was attended by four families who were in the Bartholomew residence.
First there was the Clover family, the family of his mother's older sister and Orland.
Then there was the Silver Rose family, the Jarl family who were very close to his father and mother.
The branch family of the royal family. Father's cousin. The Dux Madron Devereux family is also close to the Bartholomew family.
And finally there was the Macey family, Baron Dirk a merchant who had long served the royal family.
The four of them were the noble family most familiar with the Lucia family. Therefore they are willing to take time, passing three days of travel from Kotaraja to answer Lucia's call.

"What do you mean princess?" Some voices looked shocked and disbelieving after hearing the explanation from Lucia.
"As I have just told you, I will abdicate the throne"
All the nobles who were in that place looked silently shocked and very regretful at the decision taken by Lucia.
"Orland why didn't you stop him?" A middle-aged Narva woman who looked beautiful and elegant asked in disbelief to Orland. Her hair that was carried back she hid with a lacy scarlet scarf that characterised a widow in a noble family environment.
"I can no longer advise her brother Amithy" Orland replied with a resigned face to his older sister, Amithy.
"And what plan is it to build a city in the land of Pharos?" Asked a Narva man who had a long crosswise mustache with a neat beard tapering down. Her voice was high like a girl.
"I'm really looking forward to Dux Madron, and in the future maybe I'll need your help-you all"
"It doesn't make sense, princess. What kind of help do you want to build a city on dead land like that?" Ask Madron again.
"Full support from all of you" Lucia replied quickly.
"It's okay if you don't believe me right now, but after I officially accept this land, would you like to once again come and listen to my plan?" It was clearly Lucia who was at once begging.
Everyone hesitated to accept Lucia's request. They looked at each other, asking each other for advice in their eyes.
"Daughter, I believe in what you're going to do, me and the Silver family will support you fully" suddenly a beautiful, graceful, Narva girl, dressed in knightly attire as Jean used to wear, chanting broke apart deserted.
"Don't even develop Helen's heart" Amithy heard forbid the girl named Helen.
"Sorry lady Amithy, but seeing the earnestness in the words of the princess made me sure that the princess must have had a mature plan and not playfully" Helen replied firmly later.
"You've heard of Orland's plan, what do you think?" This time Amithy asked Orland.
"Not yet, I haven't heard it in detail. But Lucia was together with unusual people" Orland replied honestly despite sounding reluctant.
"You mean?"
"He will do this with two young men who they think are not of this world"
"What the fuck?" Amithy did not accept.
"There is no way you can believe just with a story like that, Mr. Orland" this time Madron said.
"Yes, I don't believe it, but the two young men were with an Elf and the legendary hero of the White Lightning" Orland later said.
"What?! The White Lightning?!" Shouts everyone almost simultaneously.
"The story will be very long and it will sound absurd at all" Lucia said later with a lackluster face.
-
Eventually the meeting closed with Lucia who did not give up on her idea, and the nobles who agreed to come back, listening to Lucia's detailed plan when the process of her abdication was complete.
Orland, who no longer knew what to do to change Lucia's decision, was forced to agree and support.
