THE EMPEROR OF TWO WORLDS

Discussions in the morning

Next morning.

Jani did the morning exercises as he used to do and afterwards attended the meeting of the Capital Dukes together with his Father. It was at this meeting that Jani officially introduced a system of government that he thought could be carried out in this kingdom.

All the Duke and Duchess noticed what Jani said and even made their servants write down everything Jani said. After Jani finished explaining everything, Jack then asked "Prince, is the unification of Military power so important to do?"

"that's sure! Duke Jack's. Because this concerns the security of the entire kingdom and therefore the military power must be united so that our defense is not easily penetrated by other countries. Are we going to continue to take on civilian men to protect this kingdom and make them feel a battlefield that they should never have felt as civilians that we should be protecting?"

Hearing Jani's explanation, Jack knows that the Military Conscription system is something he himself also wants to reject, but Jack knows if the plan of Military Unification is on the run, then this kingdom will dissolve in civil war between nobles who reject this plan.

Jack tried to explain to his worry "But Prince! What if the Duke nobles who are outside the royal capital reject your plan? Wouldn't that be a war within our own kingdom?"

"i feel the same way, Duke Jack. But at stake here are the lives of civilians who shouldn't have died in vain because of this conscription." Jani replied calmly then continued "Duke Jack, as the one dealing with Diplomatics among the nobles. Do you have any advice to make this plan work?"

" if you ask me, then I will try to explain some steps that will probably work. First, we will try to have a discussion together and explain the true intentions of this Military force unification plan. If it doesn't work out, then we try to do a deal with them and if it still doesn't work out as well, then we try to do a deal with them, so then we use force to suppress him until he agrees and then secretly replace his position with a noble who is more supportive of us to lead the region." Duke Jack answered explaining the advice he often used to win the hearts of nobles on many occasions.

Jani who listened to Duke Jack's suggestion only fell silent for a moment and then he turned to ask him "Duke Jack, do you use this way often?"

"certain prince! This was the fastest way to get the nobles to approve all the plans of the noble."

"then from now on you should never use this method before you replace your second step with another."

All the dukes were shocked by Jani who had rejected their flagship plan until now. Even King Roman immediately asked about the reason for the refusal "Son, what is your reason for rejecting Duke Jack's advice?"

"i'm not against all the advice from Duke Jack, Dad. But I just don't want us to have to do an under-the-table deal with the nobles to get them to follow our orders."

Duchess Marry, who often does the same thing as the Duke, said "but Prince, that is the easiest way to get the nobles to obey the royal order."

Jani immediately replied to him "and it was the same way that this kingdom would be destroyed!. Why can I say that? Easy! Since every noble you promised the deal would no longer put his oath of allegiance to this kingdom, they would only obey the royal order if they were to benefit."

Everyone could not say anything, but the curious King then asked his son "son, can you explain the adverse effects to this kingdom if it becomes a habit?"

"well, most of the nobles outside the capital will form their own government or the worst thing is that they will continue to take advantage of us then when our kingdom is already on the verge of collapse, they're gonna leave us to save themselves."

"that's terrible enough to imagine, Prince. But I still think this is the quickest way to solve the problem of uniting the military force you mentioned earlier." Duchess Marry replied.

"i think the same of him." Said Duke Jack who chimed in on Duchess Marry.

When the atmosphere became gloomy, the King said "well, we have discussed this and taken care of the matter that is our priority today, the Church of holy light!."

The king continued his words that led to his son "Alex, do you have a plan to confront the old bishop?"

"it's not dad yet, but I'll give it to you after dinner."

"i see, then we'll finish this conversation and remember, this is all for the sake of Westeria's prosperity!!" The King replied, ending with a pose of respect for the kingdom.

"IN THE PROSPERITY OF WESTERIA!!"  reply to the four others in the room.

…

That day too, that day, Jani goes to Brad's workshop to retrieve a hidden knife that has been made and after that he calls one of the Silent Army members to accompany him to infiltrate the church.

After all the preparations were ready, Jani went to a bar close to the church while waiting for the Silent Army members who would accompany him. As he was waiting suddenly a young man came up to him and said in a soft voice "A hero who is not known, but is able to save a country…." He stopped talking while waiting for Jani to answer.

Jani who heard it immediately continued the sentence "That is Silent Army."

Hearing Jani's reply, the young man immediately sat opposite Jani who was busy filling the injection tube with a green liquid. When the young man had sat down, he then said "sorry to keep you waiting, Prince."

"it doesn't matter, what number are you?"

"i'm number nine and you can call me Nine, your majesty!"

"well, Nine, you already know that we're going to infiltrate the church, right?"

"already, your honor. But may I ask, what is it for?"

"it's a device for inserting poison in it, but the poison I concocted just to make someone sleep instantly and when he wakes up will experience mild memory impairment. I should also warn you that while inside, use this tool to immobilize the guards and not to kill anyone."

"i understand, your majesty."

"of course, Prince! But don't forget my previous request."

Nine did not understand what agreement the prince had with the owner of the bar that made him put on a confused and curious face.

Looking at Nine's face, Jani immediately said "i'll tell her on the way because it's a very unpleasant story to remember." When Jani said that the drink rack began to shift and showed a road leading downstairs.

When the owner heard what Jani said, he smiled gently and said "thank you for understanding the old man's feelings, Prince."

Jani only replied with a friendly smile then glanced at Nine to follow him down the stairs towards the underground floor.

As the two of them entered the underground floor, the drink rack again shifted and the bar owner continued his work while saying in his heart 'may you survive your majesty and find my wife who was forcibly taken by the heretic priest!'

…

It didn't take long for Jani and Nine to reach the basement of the Church. Jani also glimpses many of the women who are locked up in prison, but ignores him for the primary mission he came to church with.

After leaving the basement, Jani orders Nine to walk down the church and watch the guards not to notice their existence. While Nine was on guard, Jani took out the camera from the dimensional storage of the system and entered the secret meeting room of the priests before they began their meeting together with their Archbishop.

After waiting long enough, Jani felt some people would enter the room and Jani immediately hid on the roof more precisely the wooden pole of the roof of the room. As the priests entered one by one into the room, Jani took a fitting position and photographed all of them.

After finishing taking pictures of them, Jani kept silent above while listening to the contents of their secret meeting. As the Archbishop walked into the room, the priests greeted him with "Greetings to the holy light!!"

The bishop raised his hand a sign for all the priests to stop and sit down again.

After a while, the Bishop began to speak "pastors, this time the Lester family openly wanted to antagonize our church and it was evident that they did not want to give the holy temple the right to use it."

"in addition to their plan of allowing the cursed child to become their heir to the throne, we cannot allow that to happen!"

"therefore, I ask you to blend in with the commoners in his speech tomorrow morning and provoke the hatred of his people against him until there is chaos, do you understand?"

"we understand, Archbishop!"

After delivering his plan, the Bishop then asked one of the priests "what about your disguise in the shadow army?"

"it's all going well, Archbishop! It was just that now the name of the army was changed to Silent Army and it seemed like he was planning to deploy the entire army to the corners of the kingdom as his eyes and ears in the various regions of this kingdom."

"spreading his strongest army to become a spy? Is the prince stupid?"

Jani who heard the question answered in her heart 'no, I am not stupid! In fact the Silent Army was not the strongest, they were just not set up so that it looked to be the strongest in the eyes of others.'

At that time Jani continued to pay attention to a traitor who was below him and remember his face to be easily caught later. After that, they began to pray together before leaving the room.

Jani descends from the roof and slowly enters the basement again in search of the bar owner's wife. As Jani searches, Nine again informs him that the Bishop is going to the basement and Jani immediately accelerates his search.

In the dungeon there are many women prisoners who are many and they are difficult to distinguish due to their starving conditions. When Jani asks who is the wife of the bar owner, all the women begin to recognize her which makes it harder for Jani to find the woman in her car.

Seeing the prince in trouble, Nine proposed to use Wind magic because the wife of the owner of the Bar was from the Elf race. Jani gave it a try then while using Elf language he said "come back~ to the holy tree!"

The reaction of the women in the prison seemed confused because they did not understand what Jani meant. But a woman tied to a torture device responded by crying even though she looked limp from not being fed at all.

Jani approached the woman and said in Elf language "do you miss the sacred tree?"

In a soft voice he said "no, I miss my little shop."

Hearing her reply Jani said to Nine "she's the woman, let her go and take her with us."

Just as Jani wanted to take her, suddenly a female prisoner said "master, please don't let go of the woman! Because those torturers will be looking for a replacement between us and we are so afraid to be on that device!"

"relax! I've prepared a gift for the bishop so he's very busy cleaning his body, right Nine?"

" yes, as ordered I put it on the stairs to the basement and it seemed like it was a surprised voice."

"alright, then we leave now before he realizes our presence." Said Jani who went through the secret door while saying in her heart 'well, Even though she realized it, there will be no guards chasing after us because I have already made them fall asleep while standing up.'

After that, the basement was quiet again and as Jani Bishops said, he did not go to the basement because his body was currently very smelly due to the explosion of smoke on the stairs to the basement.
