The nobles were very surprised by the appearance of Rubia who arrived with the appearance after the practice of swordsmanship that is perfunctory, especially by making a noise to destroy a door, they all got up from their seats as soon as they saw Rubia's face unseen during the week.
Rubia walked over to the Empress's seat, the Empress immediately stepped aside "His Majesty the Empress told me you can't leave your residence right? Why did you come out and be there?" The empress was only speechless with her body still trembling. "Guard, take the empress to her residence, it seems that my mother is not feeling well, rest" the Empress went with two guards who were standing guard at the door without a fight. Rubia sat in her chair casually, she glanced at the faces of Duke Verano and his Son who looked very upset, it made Rubia want to laugh but she had to hold it back.
"You can sit back, forgive the commotion I caused, I will fix the door with my own personal budget" Rubia smiled faintly. While everyone still looked extremely shocked, they kept on looking at each other.
"So, isn't that disrespectful and can harm the people in the room?" chirps Duke Verano.
"I can control my magic power perfectly so you don't have to worry about anything like that, see you guys are completely unscathed, rather than that what's going on here? Is there anything important that you should negotiate until the Empress is here?"
"Baginda, how's your health?" ask one of the nobles.
"As you can see I'm fine, why?"
"We are here to negotiate about the next throne holder if you don't wake up soon, then because we heard about the curse on your body is very dangerous so we want to." he said.
"Disrank me?" the atmosphere suddenly turned silent.
"That's right, we can't be fooled even if you're an Emperor if you're going to harm those around you then we ask you to hand over the throne to the one who if it's appropriate" Duke Verano said.
"Ahhh, so because of the matter in the palace hall back then, didn't you guys see for yourself why I turned into such a thing? Don't you remember that I was just fighting a black witch who attacked me?" the atmosphere was boisterous again, they had completely forgotten the arrival of the black magician and were only focused on changing the Emperor who turned into a murderous demon.
"So you mean it?"
"Right, I was exposed to black magic, don't you guys misunderstand me anymore?"
The nobles immediately got up from their seats and lowered their heads "Pardon us Your Majesty, we have been careless until we do not know your situation, please punish us Your Majesty" they said simultaneously.
"Here you have, sit down again" Rubia waved her hand.
"What's the evidence?" duke Verano said loudly, instantly all eyes were on him.
"Proof ya... Does Uncle not trust me?"
Duke's face frowned, at a time like this he deliberately called Uncle "True Master Duke, what proof do you mean?" answer someone.
"True, how could Your Majesty prove something unreal?" everyone agreed and attacked the request for evidence from the Duke.The atmosphere became very boisterous.
Rubia looked into the eyes with Duke and Jasson, Rubia grinningly looked at the two alternately "I will not dispute the rumors that have already spread widely to the ears of the people, he said, but after this if there is someone who deliberately spreads unproven rumors I myself will punish that person, and you guys don't worry because I can definitely catch that black witch alive"
"Right His Majesty must be captured and burned alive" said a person with fiery eyes.
"Already, to appease the restless people I planned to hold a week-long festival along the capital's road to the square, the budget would be fully borne by the palace, he said, please help her to spread her truth to the people as well as the preparations for the festival, does anyone object?"
"No Sire, we agree" Everyone smiled brightly in addition to Father and son Verano's partner.
"Well, you can go back to your own place" Rubia woke up and came out of the room that was a mess because of the act.
.
At the door of his residence, the doorman told him that someone was waiting for him, who would have thought that someone would be able to enter and enter freely in the Emperor's residence? Rubia walked in to someone sitting quietly alone in her living room.
"Hail Your Majesty" said Ferderick, waking up as soon as Rubia arrived before him.
"Yes, sit down Mr. Count"
"How are you, Sire?"
"As you can see I'm fine, did you come after hearing I was awake?"
"You must be busy, how is the Belua region you've long left behind?"
"I am trying my best to make my territory and its people prosperous again"
"True, you do have to do that, you have to, you don't have to think about anything else, do you understand?"
Ferderick nodded, understanding the point of thinking about it "I understand Your Majesty, so you have to stay healthy"
"Well, agreed, two more days will be held a big festival and you want to go around with me as a commoner at night?"
"It is with great pleasure Sire" Ferderick smiled wryly.
.
Time passed, it did not take long until new rumors began to spread and spread, the people who thought they had misunderstood the Emperor, they felt very guilty, he said, to make up for it they helped the party who worked for the preparation of the festival, the people were very enthusiastic and eager to decorate every street with various colors of lanterns, the preparation was completed faster than expected.
The women as well as the men, parents and children all gathered along the path of the singing festival cheerfully, their faces looking very happy, as if just released from a heavy burden, they were all very happy, not a few people flocked to come outside the palace building in hopes of seeing the face of the wise young Emperor even if only a glance.
While people were waiting for him Rubia was very busy with a stack of documents on her desk without knowing that many people wanted to see her face.
"Tok Tok" Irena got up from her seat and opened the door.
"Mr Axel Harington, good night"
"I want to see His Majesty"
"Please enter"
Rubia was even still looking down at the documents on her desk, she was unaware of someone coming, Axel approached her "Hail Your Majesty"
Rubia glanced at his face "You're here, what's up?"
"The people outside the palace are waiting for your presence, as the opening of the Festival event should not you show your face first Sire, will you continue to busy yourself?"
"really? I completely forgot about that" Rubia glanced at Irena's face "Iren, you can continue your work later, enjoy the festival, isn't this your first time seeing the capital festival?"
Iren's face blushed in embarrassment "May Your Majesty?"
"Of course" Iren immediately cleaned up his desk and then came out excited.
"Are you going to show me your face?" he looked at Axel who was already at his best.
"If you don't mind, Sire"
"I'll change clothes first"
"You're already charming in your current clothes" Sire"
Rubia looked at her shabby shirt "Can't I show up with this shabby shirt? What if my people are sad because I look poor?"
"Pffttt, please change your clothes, I'll wait" he held back his laughter.
