The Two Empresses
Empress' Trial

"Your Majesty, there was an explosion in the village near the border!" phillip entered in a hurry.

"Victim?"

"Three deaths were destroyed on the spot and hundreds of people were injured, ranging from minor to severe injuries. The three men consisted of 2 guards and 1 small child" Phillip said. Saciel dropped the pen and looked at Phillip.

"Little boy? How can there be a child near the border?" ask Saciel.

"The little boy was the younger brother of one of the guards and they were orphans" Phillip replied. Saciel squeezes the paper in his hand and breaks the table until Phillip flinches.

"Send immediate aid and tighten security across the border. The god-abandoned half-god was intent on finding trouble with me," Saciel growled. "And prepare a horse for me. I'm gonna go find the fucking guy."

"Your Majesty, you can't just leave the palace. Your position is still weak, please do not act rashly," said Phillip. Saciel almost cussed, but he swallowed back and sighed. "I suggest to send Duke Zografos or Lady Schariac to find ******* that."

"...don't Tania, she's still not the head of the whole family. Julian's enough, "Saciel said. Phillip nodded and hurried away, while Saciel turned to look at the window with a resigned look. Suddenly the sound of knocking on the door resuscitated him. "Lake in."

His face immediately wrinkled as soon as he saw Stevan enter along with Oorun in the form of a small child. He took the knife from the drawer and intended to throw, but Oorun raised his hand.

"Relax, son. I came here just to help you," Oorun said quickly. Saciel was silent, but he did not relax his vigilance. "You don't believe me?"

"I'm fed up with you not being able to take care of just one person" Saciel retorted. "You've seen him start his actions to hurt my people, haven't you?"

"Saciel, i..."

"Please out. I don't want to deal with you anymore. I still have a lot to think about, so just disappear from my sight. Stevan, take our guests out."

"All right, Your Majesty. Lord Oorun, let me deliver" said Stevan. Oorun was silent for a moment and looked at Stevan.

"Can you take me to see the other girl?"

"What do you mean by the Great Priest? Of course it can" Stevan said. Oorun nodded and walked after the butler, leaving Saciel worse off and dropping down on the chair. He immediately called Istvan, but did not manage to reach him. He now switched to calling Ilmol and was answered successfully.

"Hello? Ah, good morning, Your Majesty. Congratulations..."

"Enough the bases, Ilmol. Where are you guys?" ask Saciel.

"Uhh, we are currently in the elf territory. Searching for Erika and Yorktown until now has not been a result," replied Ilmol.

"coming soon. Careol is currently under attack" Saciel said firmly. Ilmol was silent for a moment, then spoke briefly with Istvan.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. We can't go back now. Erika and Yorktown's search is still .."

"Cancel and go home now," cut Saciel firmly. "Careol still needs protection."

"Ah, Istvan wait a minute!"

"Sa. I mean, Your Majesty. We cannot go back at this time" Istvan said after seizing the communication line from Ilmol.

"Istvan, stop now."

"You promised to let me go after Grandma! Why are you deciding now?" snapped Istvan.

"Because you still have an obligation to protect the people of Careol from threats******, Duke Garza. Erika we can still deal with next time," Saciel replied kalem.

"You don't know the possibility of the rotten plan that my grandmother prepared," Istvan lamented.

"Istvan Garza, we don't have time to take care of Erika anymore. Please keep in mind that you still have responsibilities as part of 7 Eternal Wizards. Back now."

"...no," replied Istvan while disconnecting the call. Saciel sighed and walked quickly towards the throne room filled with ministers with probing and dismissive gazes. The queen simply threw away her face and landed herself on the throne with a cynical look.

"I want to know what you're doing as long as this throne seat is empty" Saciel said coldly. The ministers immediately turned pale and silent for five minutes, causing Saciel to grow irritated and call Stevan. "Bring me all the reports."

"Y-Your Majesty, can we please not discuss the report?" chirped the finance minister with a panicked and pale face. Saciel looked at the fat man with a probing gaze, as if watching his shrieking prey.

"Ah, Count Voingard? Why not discuss the report? Isn't that the basic thing in governing our country? I wonder how much the state treasury is to help the victims," asked Saciel stiffly. Count Voingard grew pale and broke into a cold sweat, while Saciel grabbed the financial statements and read them carefully.

"In addition to the defense minister, please make a letter of resignation. Phillip, unplug all their facilities and titles."

"Why did His Majesty just decide? What reason?" ask the education minister. Saciel stood up and threw out all his reports with a deep flash of anger.

"Maybe you need to check this absurd report before it can question my authority. I didn't think this ridiculous report could get away with it. You guys are completely inhumane" Saciel replied coldly. "The people have suffered enough, you have fun spending money on yourself. Shameless. Thank you for not driving you under the guillotine."

Everything in it was pale and speechless. Saciel burned all those reports in a flash and stood before them undaunted. One by one they left the place completely, except for the defense minister who was still standing firmly at the end.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you order me to resign?" tanyakanya.

"Viscountess Lessy, you are quite skilled and dedicated in taking care of this imperial defense. How could I possibly remove someone like you?" reply Saciel quiet. The viscountess immediately saluted and left the throne room. Not long after his emotions came down, he heard a heartbreaking scream outside. Saciel rushed out and found the dead soldiers massacred in a terrible way, making him stagger and defend against the wall.

"My queen! Congratulations on his coronation. You look so beautiful" Dark praised as he walked over with a blood-stained sword in his hand. Saciel was aghast and tried to stand up straight, but his legs were limp. "Why do you look scared, my Queen?"

"I'm not your queen. What did you do to my soldiers?" snapped Saciel.

"Kill them. It was as if they were blocking my way to meet you," Dark said coldly. "Have they forgotten that I am the emperor?"

"What emperor? You've been dumped, you fool," said Saciel. "Not no, not thrown away. It's dead instead."

"Saciel, do you really want to try to feel death?" threaten Dark's. Saciel took out a sword and pointed it at Dark, but the one being challenged only laughed out loud. He immediately lunged forward and attacked, tearing off his sleeves until his skin was torn apart. Saciel ran backwards and kept his distance by attacking him with magic, but Dark was able to curl and occasionally throw back magic at him. "Come, Queen. We built this empire into a place suitable for us."

"Dream it over there!" reply Saciel while tying her with a magic chain. Dark tried to twitch, but he weakened and dropped his sword.

"Hmm, this isn't an ordinary magic chain, is it? I don't know why I can feel the magic of Oorun's power" Dark chirped. "How come you're really Oorun's favorite son?"

"Originally talk to you. I don't like any god, not even Oorun. It just so happened that I became the queen of her wishes" Saciel replied. "If you're here, then Vristhi's here too?"

"Vrishie? The woman is now in the northern region, my Queen. You know what he's gonna do, don't you?"

Saciel took a step back with a pale face as white as marble, making Dark feel above the wind.

"lik! He can't do it!"

"Do what?" fishing rod Dark. Suddenly Phillip came in hastily and was surprised to see Dark shackled before him. "Ah, lightning boy."

"Hello, outcast prince. Ah, Your Highness is all right?" ask Phillip. Saciel only nodded faintly and looked at Phillip. "Uhh, I know you won't like this but.the border region in the north.is attacked."

"...who did it?"

"Archduchess.or rather former archduchess Vristhi Rosemary" said Phillip Lirih. Saciel choked, trying to defend his wretchedness that was beginning to collapse. "We're trying to hold him down right now."

"I told you, didn't I? You still believe he's on your side, my Queen?" satir Dark. Phillip walked over and put him to sleep with his powerful lightning flow.

"Do I need to kill this guy?" ask Phillip.

"No need, just throw it as far as you can" Saciel replied softly. Phillip nodded and dragged Dark out, while Saciel stood staring blankly. Parvati came and knelt before him.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"It seems so, Parvati. Please tighten guard in the east and west before the place is destroyed" Saciel said. He walked to his room and changed clothes as fast as he could. Parvati who followed just kept quiet and helped her change.

"Do you want to go, Your Majesty?" ask Parvati.

"The people need me. How could I possibly stand idly by and let them scream in pain and hurt? Don't try to get in my way."

"I will not hinder Your Majesty" Parvati said firmly. Saciel gave a smile and walked quickly away from the palace, towards the now empty stables. There was only a dark horse with a fierce gaze that was receiving treatment. The nurse was surprised by the sudden presence of the queen.

"Y-Your Majesty, how can I help you?" ask the nurse. Saciel looked at the horse fixedly and jumped straight at it. "Your Majesty?!"

"I borrow the horse!" saciel said as he sighed at the reins and disappeared from sight.
