The Bungsu Princess Inferior

42. Exit Way

Mom and dad looked at me at the same time, I knew they wanted to make a sound to my back, but it seemed like they were hindered because in fact I was the crown princess in charge of giving birth to a successor. Unlike Kak Nala and Kak Prisa, they married at the age they want, although of course they have their own way to choose strictly their future husband at that time, he said, but there is no such rush as what is currently happening to me.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, giving birth to a successor is one of the responsibilities Her Majesty is obliged to fulfill." Brother Althea who attended the meeting as the head of the Nirwana clan began to express opinions, he said politely to make me quietly listen. "That responsibility is what we want to help make happen, we are here ready to help Your Majesty, of course by prioritizing Your Majesty's personal opinion, because after all Your Highness the Crown Princess is entitled to decide."

Kak Althea's words implied that I could not avoid this marriage, he also seemed to affirm to everyone present that the final decision remained in my hands, they only have the right to help me in the process.

I touched the ring that was still on my ring finger, when it was right on my birthday, I told my family everything, but maybe my family can't dwell because in fact Varen didn't show up, even it seems that my father had investigated the silver empire and found no satisfactory results, while the insistence seems increasingly unstoppable.

"However I realize that this is my responsibility, but isn't it not exactly one year that I've been crown princess? Isn't it too soon to start this conversation?" I tried to buy time while thinking about the right way out.

"His Majesty, in less than a year after His Majesty's appointment, we have received applications from almost all knights across the country," a slender woman with a name on the table bearing the words Keiko, appeared to snap her fingers and snippets of the state of the office of the imperial secretariat looked stifling, and, various kinds of luxurious carved boxes piled up to the courtyard so it could not fit in their room, even though the sun imperial secretariat had a large building area and even had three levels. Keiko the tiny, slim, pretty girl flicked her fingers again and she said with a clear expression as she looked at me, "please help us Your Majesty, we no longer know that we have to accommodate all the applications that continue to arrive, even the warehouse dimension of the secretariat is no longer able to accommodate it."

"Ehm," Father and mother cleared their throat together, I turned to look at the two and was a little upset as they both seemed to be clearing their throat to hold back laughter. How can they laugh when I'm confused? I grumbled in my heart.

My eyes combed the room, their auras seemed to radiate normally, there was no dark aura, a sign that they sincerely wanted me to marry solely for the sake of carrying out my obligations to the empire.

"So what proposal do you have to solve this?" I asked after being convinced that not a single hint of dark aura had infiltrated the hall this time.

"Your Majesty, I propose to immediately plan the election of the crown prince." The elder Mahira appeared to voice his opinion carefully, "His Majesty needs to form an official committee as well as a proper plan to select the candidate of the crown prince whom His Majesty will."

"Nor maybe in any other way that Your Majesty wants," Uncle Ezio said suddenly.

My eyes met Uncle Ezio's eyes, it seemed that he was about to convey something through telepathy. "Your Majesty, make the method of Her Majesty Empress Nala and Her Majesty Empress Prisa as an example, both of them are in complete control until finally finding someone who is truly desired, without influence and control of any party."

Uncle Ezio's voice echoed in my head, "uncle, but I'm engaged."

Uncle Ezio looked at me deeply, "then find a way that His Majesty can bring him here."

I took a deep breath, ending my telepathy with Uncle Ezio. My mind floated considering what Kak Nala and Kak Prisa had done before.

Ah, secret visit! My eyes sparkled excitedly, I finally found an answer, a secret visit is my duty as emperor, this is the official visit I usually make once a year. Fathers used to visit the entire imperial territory in secret, sometimes undercover, in such a way that they could know the real state of the people, and also watching over the elders and the imperial higher-ups without any trickery, the father would appear suddenly if there was an urgent matter that made him angry, but sometimes he will convey it at the meeting hall officially.

I glanced at Dad, looked him in the eye and did some telepathy. "Dad did you make a secret visit this year?"

Dad looked me in the eye and answered me telepathically, "yet, I've been too busy watching you lately."

I smiled happily, "dad can I take over?"

Father silently watched me for a while, then his voice started to sound in my head. "Come, Balin's always coming with you."

I nodded steadily and ended my telepathy, then looked at the meeting hall with a smile on my face. "Alright, but I have my own methods. At least I need some time to sort out every person who sends me a tribute proposal."

"How long do you want, Your Majesty?" this time a middle-aged man with a crown opened his voice, his desk inscribed with King Hakan, the kingdom of fire.

I remembered my desire to fly with Ryu over the kingdom of fire, I was determined to visit the central land of the Sun empire artists, famous for its thousand-artist empire. I wholeheartedly smiled at the king of the land of fire, "at least it will take me until before the red moon."

"Super blood moon?" asked Uncle Ezio to repeat my words.

"Yes," I answered still with a smile. At least I'll have more than six months if this gets approval.

"May we know the method that His Majesty will apply?" this time the elder Mahanta took the vote.

"Like the secret visit of His Majesty the Emperor, may I keep my method of elder Mahanta a secret?"

The elder Mahanta did not reply, he seemed to frown, the elders and the higher-ups of the kingdom seemed to be doing mass telepathy, of course I can break through it. They seem to vote to get a decision to give permission or not to me, some want to keep knowing my method but others think that the way the father has done so far is quite effective, he said, they thought doing it in secret would be more profitable for me.

"So, have you decided yet?" dad broke the silence.
