Odd Eye's

Part 28's. Behind the rumors

... ⁇ OODIE...

Changing her facial water, Madelin is forced to clean up half the job Viviana threw at her. Apparently he was in a corner, and his attack was on him. The thought of it aroused anger within the chest although it was not fully reflected on his face.

Her grin and glittering eyes triggered Hanaya's feelings of alertness.

What surprises make Madelin's winning grin terpatri ?

"There has been no release of slave status and acceptance as an official Utopian citizen by the emperor. Thus, if there were any casualties it was not the Empire's dependents but Viscount Lances as the landowner" there was still a chance to attack Viviana.

That's absolutely true.

This year, when the new emperor officially adopted his father will submit a list of names with data each complete for population transition and status change. Actually Viscount Lances had proposed this to the previous emperor but was delayed because the Emperor fell ill.

Not a card in a previous life. Rather the name recorded in the general ledger of imperial members during the reign of an Emperor/King.

Madelin's statement was true, too true to fuel Hanaya's anger.

Even though they do not have the status of population, are they not domiciled here? Unfortunately, the law is still the law. And the common people let alone a slave who has a negative connotation in Utopia certainly reap a lot of insults.

Blue Netra Xavier stared intently at the indifferent Madelin, further elaborating his opinion.

"Even from the beginning this question had a simple answer. The Empire bears nothing. Reconstruction? That was entirely the right of Viscount Lances. Because they have no status of population, it can be said that they are manual laborers, working without status."

Silent. Hanaya knows that. The impact will only affect the royal taxes owned. The loss or whatever it was belonged entirely to Viscount Lances, his father.

The question this time is not at all included in the election candidate because it only has a small impact. Now he understands the meaning of Madelin's grin.

There is sabotage. Someone deliberately put this question in order to trap Hanaya in another bad rumor. I am thankful that he pretended to be confused. Even if I just lower it a little.

Madelin's influence is this big?

How much did he get involved in charity work that the whole people loved him?

"The first question was won by lady Madelin"

Among the applause, the deflection of opinion by Madelin began to appear in the voice of a big shout, voicing the provocation ignited, then spread like a blaze, demanding the Emperor's clear.

"But isn't this weird? That question, even fools know your Majesty is siding with lady Viviana! Please be fair, Your Majesty"

"Really! It has to be competitive and fair then why is it like this?"

"That means Your Majesty had planned the victory of lady Viviana from the beginning"

"The Pope! We the people approve of lady Madelin as queen!"

"Yes! Announce the winner now. Lady Madelin as Queen!"

"Live lady Madelin! The Empire will be embodied with policy!"

"Thank lady Madelin for being queen!"

"There is no need for the Pope's verdict, announce the winner now Your Majesty!"

This commotion

Someone planned it. Madelin just takes what's thrown away. The purpose of this question from the beginning was to trap him. The target is Viviana herself.

Xavier, the man... What's his purpose ?

There is nothing to suspect other than Xavier who clearly had a hand in this contest.

Don't tell me all the bad rumors came from that guy?

Ah, maybe not ?

Xavier, the man he feared, could have sent anyone to release bad rumors about him, and then dispose of the evidence alive.

Rumors began after Hanaya's closeness with Javier on his debutant's day.

Hanaya's eyes widened.

Xavier, the man was watching him and Javier that night !

Then the rumors in the market

Everyone there knew it was an incident, but all the truth deviated as a result of the rumors that were released at that time. It could be, when they split Xavier let go of the rumors.

Hanaya is bluffing her teeth. Feeling very deceived.

If so, after he managed to win this competition there would be new rumors.

The queen candidate, having a secret meeting with the general in the village of Vilanc.

Then there will be assumptions.

Viviana is a greedy woman. He intended to monopolize the empire in full. Both in government and military.

Then what's your goal?

What's your goal Xavier?

What did you achieve by defiling my name?

Hanaya's eyes were hot. Angry at once betrayed gnawed at him.

The other side of Xavier, maybe it was all a trick. His heart was tight, something as if burning his heart.

He's been tricked.

Even Xavier did not feel guilty at all. That cold, untouchable look....

Didn't Xavier feel overwhelmed by Viviana's hateful gaze?

I should have, from the beginning, not changed my view of you.

Supposedly, if this Hanaya will not feel betrayed until it almost cries.

This man standing before him was a demon! Then that sad story, did Xavier use it to weaken Hanaya's heart?

Very clever.

Hanaya wanted to laugh in front of the man right now, laughing loosely, congratulating him for succeeding.

Perhaps Xavier's hidden intention is to destroy Javier through his woman. Because a broken heart is a wound that is difficult to heal and scar for life. A lowly intrigue that no noble should plan for. But revenge doesn't know honor, does it?

On his return, Hanaya would ask his father to cut cooperation for Vilanc.

He doesn't need a heartless man who manipulates everything!

Manipulative! Hanaya should have shouted that out in front of his face and not in his heart. Unfortunately, the situation and the place are not suitable. Forcing it suppresses the fire of emotional rage.

The guy used it. This is just a presumption, but all the events that are too related force him to believe, hate and revenge.

Xavier really knows how to put a position, he's the enemy in the blanket! And Hanaya caught the signal too late.

Today, his trust vanished over Xavier.

"This question is not partisanship! In the presence of the temple of the great god, doing so was just like a cursed sin! As emperor I swear on my own name! It's the opening question, the value is not calculated" Javier's calm and powerful voice drew an atmosphere of commotion.

His firm and firm vow dispels doubt.

As brothers, this is a protective instinct. Apparently the man Hanaya loves is protecting her rotten brother.

If this is investigated, this manipulative chief general might be hung as an imperial wall decoration.

But after becoming queen, the first thing Hanaya will get rid of is Xavier, the man who will destroy her love and life.

Then, the crowd lowered their heads apologizing for the sassness.

How was Xavier's reaction?

Hanaya.

Maybe he was trying hard to hold back his emotions. Great con!

"I'm sorry for my mistake, Your Majesty. It's entirely my fault"

"no need. From the beginning, the queen election contest was always sensitive" Javier said. By focusing on that fact Javier was protecting Xavier.

Doesn't Javier know who's trying to stab him?

Hanaya must reach this position for the life of the one she loves!

He must succeed!

There is no time to feel betrayed!

The contest resumed after the controversial woman-created drama Viviana switched to a real fight. The most admirable opinion will win the most votes.

"The "delegation between the empire and the kingdom of Basil as everyone knows reaped much rejection. Basiley wanted some adjacent Utopian territory for their food supply"

Basiley, the kingdom of the warm climate and the whole area filled with sand. It would be hard to get food in such a place. Basil has a large area. And in the Delegation before the coronation even long before his meeting with Javier. Basil demanded conditions.

If Utopia wants an alliance some regions must be handed over as a Tribute to peace.

But what is becoming a contradiction is the area requested itself is the food center of Utopia. Namely: Rothe, a rice-producing area adjacent to Dorth. Sert, the spice-producing region.and Vilanc, the wheat-producing region.

This caused anger among the people. This is tantamount to killing the heart of Utopia! If the empire agreed to this, it would be like giving up on death.

It is true, the small royal basilys that have defense and a capable military will be very profitable if joined, but the conditions proposed are like a knife that slashes the veins of Utopia.

Of course the empire must review this. The old emperor's advisers were gathered, meeting with the brightest nobles for a futile solution because the voice of the people voicing the war affected everything. Emotions run high, disrupting decision-making.

Utopia is a sovereign state that has been prosperous for a long time. This condition was the same as stepping on the emperor's pride. It's as if Basiley is hinting that Utopia needs us, not the other way around.

Implied arrogance that triggers everyone's emotions. The higher-ups and others suggested the same-war.

Insulting the previous Emperor was tantamount to insulting the hand of the god. Especially when he came home. Of course this sparks everywhere.

Basil's representatives threatened his life.

"The question is, if Utopia appealed what should be filed?"

This, it's a little complicated.

"Viviana asked for a place to answer" obviously, everyone was shocked and then expressed bad words.

"He was looking for face"

"It seems like the answer is just random"

"He thought one time luck would happen the next time"

Dismissively. That's Hanaya's response.

After getting the affirmation Hanaya said.

"The comparison that must be submitted is the division of results, equal"

Silence, then the murmur full of blasphemy echoed in the air. Anger was triggered quickly and exploded regardless of the background of the sacred temple and witnessed by the Pope.

"WHAT DID THIS WOMAN SAY?"

"HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A QUEEN WITH THIS KIND OF LOOK?"

"HE'LL JUST DESTROY US!"

"HE TOLD US TO BE SLAVES? NO KIDDING!"

"AFTER WE WORK HARD THE RESULT SHOULD BE SPLIT IN TWO?'

"DUMB SHAME!"

"THIS WOMAN! THE QUEEN WON'T THINK SO LOW!"

"ONLY TO GAIN THE MILITARY ADVANTAGE OF OUR PEOPLE SHOULD WE WORK FORCIBLY? DAMN IT!"

Then, the sound of clapping distracted the turbulent crowd.

Hanaya looked at them sharply then her falling words froze the crowd.

"I'm not polite"

A hiss that froze the atmosphere instantly.
