The Lord of Chronos And Choros

The emperor's dilemma

The meeting, attended by all those who had a hand in handling the problem of natural disasters that will befall this southern region, now changed the atmosphere to be very tense. There are differences of opinion which follow the tradition or follow the development of the times. Here, the Emperor is very dilemma to determine the decision, because youth is the final determinant of the decision.

Alaglosa's words are not wrong, even that is very true. It's just that, people in the southern region since long ago until now have been accustomed to living like what has been called tradition by the Emperor's predecessor. The question in the Emperor's mind was whether society could keep up with the changes, or if it made things worse now.

Tyrian also understood the anxiety experienced by his father. The wife actually got her support. Not because it does not appreciate the tradition in the south, it's just that at this time the conditions are very unlikely to do according to Lopus' advice and it is precisely the advice of Alaglosa that is very appropriate to use now. But, considering the father, Tyrian was hesitant to express his opinion.

" Our meeting ends here first.. Let the Emperor think of the exact steps we should take.. It's just that you need to remember, tradition can be defeated with precarious conditions and situations" said Tyrian disbanded the meeting.

" Good My Lord.. " Lopus represents everyone answering Tyrian's remarks. Then he invited everyone out of the room.

As soon as the top officials of the southern region kingdom came out of the meeting room earlier. The boisterous voices of people commenting on Alaglosa's opinions fill up throughout their journey back to where they served. There are some who agree with Alaglosa's remarks because the current conditions do not allow to reduce the number of troops that are not much.

It's just that, many of them disagree, some even call Alaglosa pretentious and the cloud people in this region. Luckily neither of Tyrian's side heard, nor the one who spoke to Alaglosa would have his tongue cut off by Tyrian.

Inside the meeting room that now only had three people, the atmosphere had indeed melted away. But awkwardness still enveloped the three people who were in the room. Only Alaglosa did not change her face at all because she believed she had done nothing wrong here.

" dad.. I'm sorry, but I have to say that my wife's words are true.. We cannot reduce the number of troops because we do not have a single information about the strength of this monster and what the consequences of its appearance are" Tyrian said immediately expressed his opinion.

" You understand, that all this time we've been sticking to tradition. Changing it only overnight will only lead to rebellion from all of them" said the Emperor, who felt increasingly in a dilemma as his son justified his son-in-law's remarks.

" Then we are left to create a situation that leaves society with no choice but to follow what the government will implement.. The most feared of people who do not have the ability to survive is when they get a big storm, then everything will be destroyed.. " The Emperor sighed hearing that his favorite son-in-law was still cluttered with his opinion.

" Give me time to think.. None of this could be completed overnight. "please ask the Emperor to be clear.

" absolutely.. The noble origin understands that our time is not much.. " Alaglosa was resigned to carry out his duties after being delayed due to the meeting earlier.

Tyrian and the Emperor both let out a tired sigh after seeing Alaglosa leave this room. Not to dislike Alaglosa, but because of Alaglosa's very critical nature, making these two people afraid that Alaglosa will be complicated by the officials of the kingdom and society. In the future, Alaglosa's life will not run smoothly if you get hatred from everyone.

" He's not the wrong dad.. Ossa's words are true because we lack an army.. " Tyrian spoke in informal language when alone with his father.

" We must create a situation that leaves the people and the higher-ups unable to resist us, father.. "

" We think about that problem immediately.. If you stay cool with your wife's advice, then help me create a situation that can put pressure on them all.. " Tyrian nodded.

After a brief conversation, the father and son separated to continue their work. The plan was today, Tyrian would go to the volcano which in a matter of days it would soon erupt. Tyrian wanted to see with his own head this precarious situation. Perhaps, he could find a way to overcome this all so as not to need many casualties.

" Fandim's.. Take your troops and come with me to the place where our problem this time is. "the word of Tyrian is inviolable.

" Good, my Master.. " Fandim immediately did what his master told him.

Once his army was ready, Tyrian immediately drove his horse towards where it was now stealing the attention of all the inhabitants of the southern region. Tyrian wished he could get a clue when he went there. In addition, Tyrian's goal was to determine whether he could carry out the plan according to Lopus' words, or work on a plan that belonged to his wife.

It took him half a day to get to where Tyrian and his troops were headed. When it reached its destination, the sky had already darkened. But it did not dampen Tyrian's determination to see with his own eyes the condition of the volcano that returned to active after a hundred years more it.

" sir. Shouldn't you rest first? " fandim Barat.

" You and the others rest first.. Tomorrow morning, gather at the foot of the mountain because I want you all to do something.. And my task now is to ascertain what I will assign you tomorrow. "the word of Tyrian which Fandim immediately embraced. Lie if he and his troops are not exhausted, because before this journey, they have already practiced preparation when the impending disaster arrives.

Tyrian single-handedly rode the road leading to a building where observers observed the volcanic activity. The building, quite large because in it there are quite a lot of people who work under the supervision of Lopus. Perhaps also, Lopus was already in this building after he came to the meeting this morning.

The arrival of Tyrian, greeted by the marquess Vollin who started some time ago, appointed the Emperor to be in charge of this place.

" Why don't you preach your arrival first, My Lord.. " Marquess Vollin saluted.

" I would like to see the current situation and conditions before I make a decision on the issue of the troops to be alerted in Basilik and Eldrogo" Tyrian said.

" Let me drive you around, My Lord. "marquess Vollin led the way for Tyrian to look around the conditions around this volcano.
