THE EMPEROR OF TWO WORLDS

The Duke Lundberg Scheme

Everyone in the room then looked at the white-bearded old man. King Roman then said, "Duke Lundberg, what is your reason for refusing my son the crown prince?"

Respecting the King, Lundberg explained, "I have apologised for my boldness, Your Majesty!. The reason I rejected the third prince was due to many factors, but I will explain it in broad outline.that Prince Alex just woke up from his long slumber and as long as he was asleep, the prince missed his education in the academy and it proved that he was not qualified to be the crown prince that is to be from among those who have graduated the academy."

One of the nobles who had the same view as Lundberg said "i also rejected him. How could he lead the kingdom if the school had not graduated!"

After those words, many of the nobles spoke among themselves to each other. The Roman King who saw the atmosphere started to become boisterous immediately let out a wave of his fire magic aura and spread it throughout the room so that this room had already become a Microwave.

Lucky for those who are already fire element mages, but what about those who are not? Of course right now, everyone who was not a fire element magician was holding back the heat.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, King Roman immediately stopped the wave of aura and said, "are you satisfied with insulting my son?"

None of them answered the question because they were afraid even to see the king. King Roman said, "Lundberg, I have great respect for you because you are a noble who has helped my father in defending this kingdom in the past, but the matter of my successor is my personal business and a Duke-ranked noble like you cannot interfere!"

"But your highness! This is the rule that the king made before and you must obey it!" replied the stubborn Lundberg.

King Roman was a calm person, but when anyone insulted his family he would become very scary and right now, that was almost the case. Hertez who stood beside King Roman was already preparing to stop the king's rampage.

"YOU!!" King Roman was about to kill Lundberg, but it was stopped by Jani's words "dad you let me take this mood expert?"

Hearing his son wanting to take on the current situation, the King calmly withdrew his aura then said "alright, continue."

After getting permission from his father, Jani turned to Duke Lundberg and said, "Duke Lundberg, why don't you attend the Duke's limited meeting this morning?"

"i am old! Why do you have meetings in the morning anyway? Did you do it on purpose so you wouldn't let me come?"

Jani did not answer, but asked him again "in that case, do you also know of the operation to destroy the Blackwolf family recently carried out by the royal family?"

"of course I know!" the Duke replied to Jani.

"Alright, I understand why you couldn't attend the meeting then let me tell you a little bit what the royal family found in the Blackwolf family's destruction operation yesterday. The first was a slave cage and a slave auction in the interior of the slum and the second was a letter in the Blackwolf family palace explaining that the place was finished in the wake."

Still clueless as to what Jani was saying, Duke Lundberg said impatiently "then what do you mean to say this to me?"

"I must say this to you, of course, because this letter was written by you and there was even a stamp of your family emblem on the letter."

After that, Duke Lundberg began to understand and immediately denied Jani's statement "what evidence proves that the letter was written by me!?"

"Indeed, I can't prove that the letter was written by you, but I assume that the construction must have been very conspicuous and my father must have got the report. So I saw the report and it says that this is a health facility for residents in the slums. Even my father added 1000 gold coins to expand the place."

"So Mr Duke, now I ask you, where is the medical facility you built?"

"it's in the construction phase!" duke Lundberg replied in a panicked tone.

"oh! Then how will we see it?" Jani asked him again.

"that's impossible now, prince! That place is for commoners!"

The Roman king, who saw Duke Lundberg beginning to be cornered by his son's questions, immediately said "want they were nobles or commoners, either, they are still my people whom I must treat fairly and Duke Lundberg! Aren't you brave enough to call my people that?"

Realizing his words were already quite presumptuous to the King of the Romans, Duke Lundberg immediately knelt down and said "pardon me, your majesty! I accidentally called your people that name."

"enough! I forgive you, but I'm also suspicious of the health facility you built. So, for now you'll be arrested for the alleged theft of royal gold. Knights palace!!"

As the Roman king summoned the palace knights, the two knights who had previously guarded the throne room immediately entered and immediately knelt before the Roman king and said "the palace knights answered the call, your honor."

"immediately take Duke Lundberg to the basement for further introductions."

"well, your highness!" the two of them immediately walked towards Duke Lundberg and said to the Duke "Duke Lundberg, please come with us!"

 

Seeing the Duke's changed demeanor, the King began to look at him with a look of disdain in his eyes then immediately said "immediately take this despicable rat out of my halfway room!!"

The knights immediately seized Duke Lundberg and dragged him towards the basement.

After Duke Lundberg was taken away the atmosphere became quiet because the nobles were afraid of the same fate as the Duke of Lundberg. The Roman king who was satisfied with this atmosphere then said "well, does anyone still want to refuse the third prince to be the crown prince?"

All the nobles present immediately knelt down and said in unison "WE RESPECT THE DECISION, YOUR HIGHNESS!!"

…

As all the nobles Jani did not know enough left, Jani was immediately in the crowd by the dukes who had attended the meeting the previous morning. While he was being surrounded by the dukes, Jani saw that the new bishop was leaving this room. Jani immediately approached him and said "Bishop, can I see you tomorrow? I would like to discuss something with you regarding my plans relating to religion in this kingdom."

"of course, the crown prince. If the goddess Kiana wills then we will surely meet." The Bishop replied in a soft voice and walked back to the outside of this room while being guided by the Holy Knights of the light element church.

 When the Bishop was gone, a voice sounded from beside Jani "i have always disliked that crafty old man!"

"AHH!! Duke Barrox! Since when have you been behind me!?" said Jani who was surprised by the appearance of Duke Barrox.

"i've been here since. You didn't see me?" replied the Duke casually.

"i thought you were just curious to see the royal treasury book, but I didn't think you'd be able to defeat that old monster in a debate with just your knowledge that you took from the royal treasury book.!" Said Duchess Marry Niskirenai, who manages the financial part of the kingdom. 

  "well, I just want to strengthen my guess, but I don't think he really made a coalition with Dom to make slave drums." Said Jani in response to the words of Duchess Marry.

After that, Jani turned to his father and said, "Dad, although I didn't rebuild the northeastern border town, I wanted to keep visiting the place."

"why do you want to visit that dead city so badly?"

"i don't know either, but I have a dangerous feeling about the city."

King Roman was silent for a moment and finally he said "alright, I allow it, but you can leave after the formation of the six divisions already in form."

"alright, dad!" Jani went from the throne room to go to the small meeting room where the current division leader gathered.

…

When Jani entered the room, he saw that his men looked tired even the youngest Mary was still trying to stay awake even though her eyes were half closed. Seeing the condition of his men like this, Jani said "what exactly did you guys do last night."

"pardon me, Prince! I couldn't fall asleep last night because I still couldn't believe that I was the descendant of the legendary sword saint master." Mark Ferdinand replied excitedly, but there were dark circles in his eyes.

"all right, then what's up with the others?" ask Jani who approached the others.

"forgive us, your majesty. We shouldn't accept inviting Doran to party celebrating our rise as nobles on our own behalf." Mathias Mellburn is a friend of Doran Xander.

"so, is this all Doran's fault for throwing a party for you?"

Everyone who attended the party nodded their heads in agreement to sacrifice Doran to blame. Jani started walking towards Doran who was asleep at the end of the table while saying to everyone "alright, besides Doran you all immediately rest in an empty room, while I'm gonna be here with Doran to do something."

"noble, but Doran right.." said Matihias who reminded about the race of Doran, but Jani interrupted him by saying "a Night Walker? Of course I know! and I also have a powerful drug to counteract this sleep cycle."

Before Jani moved around the world, Jani was already thinking about the problem of Doran whose sleep cycle was reversed with most other people and on the advice of Zein, he bought a book from the system-owned store titled 'ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RAS CONTINENTAL ARCA' with a price of 1 billion. In the book it is written completely about the race of Night Walker or can be called a human half vampire. The Night Walker race itself is a very Step existence because the true Vampire race considers them as a disgrace that must be destroyed and until now they still remain in the hunt.

Instead of their weakness during the day, the god of beasts was Skaratu, blessing them with abundant power and magic even some of them there were those that exceeded the strength of the Vampire race itself.

The book also says that there are plants that can heal the weaknesses of the Night Walker race and that Jani is preparing to give the plant to Doran.
