Eps 59 Emperor's First Mission

Much had to be done by Rubia on her first day as Emperor, starting from attending a banquet as a form of respect and then ushering in the departure of the neighboring country's envoys who would return to their home countries, then held a special meeting with the upper class nobles and officials who occupied important positions in the palace, heard complaints from various parties regarding the condition of the empire and also sorted out solutions from various opinions, then receive reports related to various businesses run by the palace and so forth.

"I want to give a gift to the people to commemorate the ascension of my throne as Emperor" Rubia said after receiving all reports.

"What gift do you mean His Majesty?"

"Tax decrease"

"What do you mean, Sire? You can't do that, the lives of lazy people will be more lazy if you lower taxes and it will endanger the finances of the country" said the white-haired prime minister in his fifties.

"Right, Your Majesty, right" exclaimed some people agreeing with the Prime Minister's opinion.

"If you are very worried about the finances of the palace you can donate some of your wealth" Rubia replied casually.

"What do you mean? How can you decide something like this one-sidedly, I understand your noble wishes, I also understand you who are inexperienced and not mature enough, he said, so please listen to our opinion as well Sire" said the prime minister again who was agreed by some people.

"So you're saying that this immature and inexperienced me has done something reckless and put the country at risk? "

"We dare not Sire"

"What do you think, Counselor?" rubia asked the people who always had different opinions with the Prime Minister. Twenty-five-year-old man who got the position because he replaced his father who arrived died.

"I think what you are doing is very wise, Sire, the poor often complain because of the high taxes set by the government, and I see there will be no problem if we reduce a little bit the annual salary of the officials for the life of the people who are more prosperous" said the bespectacled young man made the whole room boisterous.

"Enough you! My decision was made and I asked for understanding from all of you, the meeting was closed" the person left with an annoyed face, Rubia deliberately did that to assess their reactions one by one.

On his first day he looked very flexible, even he listened carefully to what was conveyed by the ministers and was able to give an objective assessment, that is what was seen by people who supported him, he said, judging by the way they talked and looked at Rubia, Rubia could judge which people were still against her and supported her Uncle.Either what happened for a few days the Duke did not appear in the palace, Rubia only received reports that Duke was not feeling well.

Rubia came out of the meeting room, she looked outside, knew it was late afternoon "I have to see Master" he told Ferderick as he continued to walk quickly.

"Good"

.

Rubia opened the door to Vallan's office, the old man looked so busy with a mountain of documents on his desk that he could not hear the door open.

"Teacher" said Rubia approaching.

Vallan saw from his glasses "Baginda? When did you come?"

"Just now, am I bothering you?"

"I'll hear your reason for coming here first" he put his work on the table and looked at Rubia sitting in front of him.

"How do I remove the curse of the Emperor's descendants?"

"Are you kidding, Your Majesty?"

"No"

"Did Miss Mayer not tell you?"

"He only said that my duty was to free the curse that had descended upon the Emperor's family, he said I was a pure, rudimentary soul, Ferderick's power was the perfector of my soul, that's all it is"

"Didn't he tell you how to work?" Rubia shook her head "Well, the old woman is still the same, she always forgets the most important part"

"Do you know anything about Master?"

Vallan stared at Rubia and Ferderick alternately "Soul union?"

Vallan stared at Ferderick "he must channel his mana power to you so that the magic jewel that has been embedded in your heart will shine and that is the true healing power, it requires a lot of energy"

"I'll do it, it's not difficult" said Ferderick.

Vallan stared hard at Ferderick "Are you ready to lose your life? After the magic jewel refinement process is complete there is a possibility that your life will not be helped"

Ferderick and Rubia were stunned to hear "Are you seriously Master?" rubia was shocked.

"Like Miss Mayer who lost her energy and life after giving you strength, Ferderick will experience something like that, this is the worst possibility of His Majesty, but if his physique is much stronger than expected he will only experience side effects because he is still young and fit, that possibility must be taken into account, that is all I can say, the rest of you two have to decide"

Rubia stood up "Thanks for Teacher's explanation, I have to leave now" her face looked extremely riled up.

"Your Majesty"

Rubia came out of the room and Ferderick followed her, Rubia kept walking in silence, her mind in fear that the only way to escape the curse was to sacrifice one more life, moreover Ferderick is one of the few people who means anything to him. Their feet quickly knew they had reached the palace where the Emperor lived.

"I will do it Sire" said Ferderick who immediately made Rubia's steps stopped.

Rubia looked "Can't!"

"There's no other way, please understand"

"What do you mean there's no other way? I can continue to live as I am today, this is not a problem"

"Aren't you thinking about your descendants later? Miss Mayer who has sacrificed her entire life to find this solution? It is not difficult for me to sacrifice my life for you, the most important thing is that I do not like to see you suffer because the symptoms are increasingly disturbing your mental and health"

"What about your sister and family who are in the Black Shadow? they will suffer greatly because the Emperor whom they believe to be their protector took your life for my own sake?"

"What do you mean? This is the interests of the empire, they will understand"

"That's enough, stop this nonsense, forget what you just heard from Master, I will immediately take care of the Count's land and restore your status, after which you only need to leave here, after which you only need to leave, go, I'm tired" Brakkk!! Rubia went into her room.

Tok Tok tok, before long the sound of knocking on the door in Rubia's room, Rubia again opened the door and prepared to be ready to scold Ferderick who did not obey his orders to leave his palace.

"Have I said I'm tired?" rubia shouted as she opened the door.

"Good night, Your Majesty, I am Jessi from the Empress's palace, sorry to interrupt your time" she said with a heart, her body trembling.

"What do you want?"

"Your Majesty the Empress keeps asking you to meet her, Sire, all day she's been feeling depressed and unsettled, so..."

"Didn't I tell you I'd see her when I had some free time? Can't you see it's time for me to rest?"

"I'm sorry, Sire"

Rubia fell silent at the Queen's trembling lady-in-waiting, she began to lower her tone "Tell her, I'll see her tomorrow"

"Your Majesty, thank you for resigning"

"Yes"
