Odd Eye's
Part 23's. The rejection that was voiced
... ⁇ OODIE...
Three days after the conversation with Xavier Hanaya focused his thoughts on developing political problems.
The communication and Javier improved. Yesterday was the last day. Hanaya was inside the library, struggling with the book as the servant ran to inform Viscount Lances of the news.
"Master! The master! The royal army entered the hall !" Viscount Lances was shocked. Get up, then walk out.
Not the Crown Prince failed the Emperor, but Duke Nestra was the right-hand man of the kingdom. Viscount is not stupid to not understand the official arrival with this abundant tribute.
"Empire government!" Duke Nestra's thunderous voice made all the servants kneel down. So did Viscount Lances and his wife.
"Where's lady Viviana?"
"The waiter calls Viviana"
Soon Brianna ran calling her nonanya. A happy look of a face emanated when Hanaya heard his words. The royal envoy, Duke Nestra came with tribute.
Looks like an official proposal.
Hanaya arrives, taking her place beside her father. Duke Nestra took a breath and said
"His Majesty the Emperor, Javier de Roughtys has invited lady Viviana de Lances. The family candidate in the hope stood up" with that, the entire Lances members rose up.
Hanaya got up, received a formal proposal in the form of a ring and other tributes handed over to her.
And finally! In two months she will be Queen.
The palace envoy has left. The maids were as happy as Viviana, their miss except Viscount Lances. That guy's not happy at all.
Lady Lances even distributed jewelry as a form of happiness, and went to the temple of Utopi to pray for the smooth coronation and marriage of Viviana.
Brianna is the only one who is emotionally neutral.
Taking Hanaya's breath closer to her father, fully understood her father's grief and fear.
His father's hand. Staring closely at his figure who is now starting to enter the age of twilight.
"Dad, didn't I say that? I'm doing fine. This choice is not wrong"
But why didn't Viscount Lances feel that way? He even felt the opposite. It was as if exchanging his daughter for this luxury. Maybe because his thinking is too far away.
But that's the truth.
Viviana is eighteen years old. The etiquette, work and status of how his young daughter was able to bear that? Viviana was not married to a young duke, but the Emperor of this country. There are heavy tasks that will be carried.
Palace, that beautiful place is not what it looks like! Although Viscount Lances had ascertained Javier's disengagement in every bad rumor of his daughter, he still felt doubtful. Doubt to take off this young girl. And although his prediction proved to miss the doubt still whack.
It's true, marriage at a young age after a debutante is common, but for a father, 18 years is only temporary.
Seeing the puddles of tears in her father's netra ignited Hanaya's grief, in the tangle of a face that is no longer as firm as before. At first glance it feels like returning to his childhood where his father in his previous life looked at him when he was sick.
It was a look of fear, fear of loss. His father was prejudiced against the palace and everything about Javier.
"Dad, I told you I'd be fine. Javier loves me remember? You can see everything, right? I'll be fine"
Viscount Lances did not answer just clutching his daughter's hand tightly. He was eager to believe, fully believing but what if reality was not what his daughter imagined?
Opening his mouth, Viscount Lances said with compulsion. Aversion laden in his tone
"Dad, I hope you're happy. Always was. I hope nothing bad" he prayed. Hope it will happen.

Apparently, news of this proposal soon exploded. Being everyone's discussion whether in a small or large gathering.
Members of the imperial parliament received a number of petitions. And this causes a commotion. Contradictions happen.
Now, Javier's in the assembly room. Discussing the proposal that just happened a few hours ago.
"Your Majesty, regardless of her background lady Viviana is simply not worthy of this position!"
"Please listen to us Your Majesty! Lady Viviana has absolutely no potential for this position!"
Javier smiled coldly "Unpotential? You hear his policy, he's more than worthy of my sidekick"
"It was just once. Compared to lady Viviana, several other ladies are very potential for this position!"
"The people don't even approve your application, sending a number of petitions hoping Your Majesty reviews this!"
"Yes Your Majesty! There are many bad rumors about Lady Viviana. Her image in general has been tainted! A Queen cannot have defilement in her social status"
"It's all just a rumor and not the truth. Why is that so worrying about you?" Javier retaliated fiercely.
But the parliament and the anger of the people did not stop. They attacked aggressively.
"Your Majesty, lady Viviana doesn't even have an academic background. How can a queen lead without this? The decisions taken must be precise, not just a sweetener to your throne!"
"As an extension of the hand between the people and you, the Queen is not just a figure of beauty but a blend of intellect and good image! While in her debutant lady Viviana reap a lot of controversy. Please reconsider Your Majesty!"
"We lawmakers don't speak for ourselves, we voice the voice of the people!"
"Lady Viviana doesn't yet have the proper value as Queen, Your Majesty!"
Javier sighed. This fight is getting more intense. They won't stop cornering him until he pulls his proposal. But she needs Viviana, the girl ! a cold glint appeared in the eyes of the young emperor. Javier obviously can't just take it off.
"Then let me give him guidance, special"
Javier.
"Your Majesty, lady Viviana is not part of your responsibility. Even if you and the lady have a relationship, without status, whatever it is has nothing to do with you"
"Really! We just ask that you withdraw your application back! You should consider some Queens with high potential Your Majesty!"
"The previous "Emperor and queen had a good life history. Never once in history has Utopia had a Queen who was a controversial lady Viviana"
"He just defiled your image! Your Highness please consider, the people support you fully to build Utopia more powerful than the previous empire!"
Support ?
"If you support me, then my decision is the best one for you!" Sergey Javier.
"It is precisely because we support you that for the good of Utopia this is the truth that you must accept. Lady Viviana was definitely not her choice!"
"Even behold, the throne you have just ascended has been an upheaval between you and the people! This is a bad omen Your Majesty!"
"God seems to be rejecting your choice! And this upheaval will only weaken your throne, bringing bad influence!"
"If someone uses this situation to pit the people, spread bad rumors, your throne will be weak! The division between the people and you will destroy Utopia!"
Xavier, who was standing on the side of Javier's seat, knew which direction it was going. They insinuate it implicitly. Obviously, Xavier is still considered a big threat here.
"Your Majesty! Please consider this! The queen should unite! His image should support your power! He is the one who will be your patron and liaison. Rejection like this is just alan shaking your position"
"Please reconsider Your Majesty. Look at this commotion, this is a sign of destruction! A great wife won't create a rift like this!"
"It is only a few days that you officially ascend the throne, if you insist on holding back your wishes the people will turn against you. And it should be remembered that your position is aimed at the prosperity of the people, not for personal gain!" The words of the speaker of parliament, Grand Duke Apollio shot out like a knife incision.
This is the Emperor's job. The sacred duty of the gods, the welfare of the people, is not for personal pleasure.
But should he take off?
Javier. These words made him lose a lot. But keeping Viviana was the goal. Whatever it is, he'll put it in to defend that woman!
