THE DESTINY OF THE SUN AND THE MOON
CHAPTER 43 - RAPAT IMPERIAL PART I
Currently, the Imperial Meeting has been held by Crown Prince Castor. This meeting was so sudden and even the Emperor himself did not know about this.
The nobles began to gather in a room with a large table that was so long along with many seats allotted to the heads of nobles at every Imperial Meeting.
"What is the Crown Prince calling all of us?" Ask a noble chief.
"So you know, maybe there's an extra budget for her Birthday Party?"
"Heh, that must be it. He's young and definitely wants to get more of a very fancy party"
"Yes, he definitely wants more budget for his Birthday Party"
Duke Allison who was present and sitting quietly in his seat was silent. Among these nobles, it was indeed only he who knew the reason for this sudden Imperial Meeting meeting because his Son was also involved in it.
"I don't think it is" Duke Erickson said suddenly, interrupting the conversation of the other nobles who tend to vilify Crown Prince Castor.
"There must be an important matter to talk to us right now. If indeed the Crown Prince needs an additional budget for his Birthday Party, he will definitely tell His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress first because I heard from His Majesty the Emperor that he and His Majesty the Empress were not told any reason about This sudden Imperial Meeting" continued Duke Erickson who made the nobles who demonized the Crown Prince speechless.
Thas right. If indeed the Crown Prince needed more budget, he would definitely tell the Emperor as well as the Empress, he would not have to bother summoning the nobles heads so abruptly like this.
Duke Allison smiled faintly at Duke Erickson, his best friend was indeed very reliable when it came to the nobles who had just vilified Crown Prince Castor.
Shortly thereafter, Emperor Horus arrived with Empress Ivona, Prince of Helios and also Duke Curt. Seeing the Emperor's arrival, the nobles immediately saluted.
"""OUR GREETINGS TO THE SUN, THE MOON OF DAB AND THE LITTLE MOON OF THE EMPIRE"""
They immediately sat down where they were and after a short time they sat down, the Crown Prince came with his aide Dereck who was carrying a pile of papers, in addition there is Prince Blaze and also Arthur who obviously made the Emperor, the Empress, Prince Helios and the other nobles were shocked because of the arrival of Prince Blaze and Arthur who entered this meeting room because they were not old enough to come to this Imperial Meeting because usually the person attending this meeting should only have a minimum age limit of fifteen years. Although they were astonished, they still greeted Crown Prince Castor and Prince Blaze.
"""OUR GREETINGS TO THE LITTLE SUN AND THE LITTLE MOON OF BOTH EMPIRES"""
Castor and Blaze sat in the available seats, as did Arthur. Dereck stood next to Castor.
"So what are you saying the Imperial Meeting is so sudden like this, Crown Prince?" Ask the Emperor who is directly the to point.
"I have only found information that should be conveyed to you immediately, Your Majesty the Emperor" Castor replied in a calm tone.
"While so, why did you bring Prince Blaze and Young Duke Arthur?" Empress Ivona asked in a tone that looked so anxious.
Dereck then handed the papers he had brought to the two servants who served in the room and swiftly distributed them to everyone who participated in the Imperial Meeting.
As soon as he read the writing on the paper, Duke Erickson immediately widened his eyes, "This.... The Oleanders were successfully smuggled into the Empire?!"
Not only Duke Erickson, the Emperor, Empress and the other nobles were similarly shocked. Meanwhile Prince Helios looked so shocked and immediately looked towards his First Brother. Prince Helios was silent as Castor looked at him with a cold gaze.
"Yes... As we all know, Oleanders flowers have been banned for planting or even entered the Empire because this flower is very poisonous. But there are 'some' people who make illegal transactions on the black market to buy this poison in a big way. And the severity is not only to enter the Empire's territory, but has entered the palace as well" It was Castor who made everyone come back shocked except for the two people who started to feel cornered within this Imperial Meeting.
"What do you mean, Your Highness Crown Prince Castor?! Oleanders also entered into the territory of the palace?!" Exclaimed a noble who still did not believe the information he got.
This time it was not Castor who replied, Blaze who this time spoke up, "You are right Count. Oleanders entered this palace so easily thanks to the 'some' people who had great influence within the Imperial palace who were indeed intending to smuggle this poison into the territory of the Imperial palace.
Instantly the nobles began to stir when they heard the words from Blaze. They begin to suspect each other.
"So you want to say there's someone who dares to betray inside this palace by smuggling Oleanders here?! How could it go undetected by the soldiers as well as the Empire's magicians?!" The Emperor's seeming cry began to provoke his anger. He did not believe the words of his two sons.
"His problem is, Your Majesty, these people are very much trusted by the Empire and also have a very big influence. Of course no one suspects these people" Blaze replied with a sly grin on her face.
The Emperor as well as the Empress were instantly stunned to see their Third Son who could put out such an expression. Because Blaze they know well is a very positive person, cheerful, innocent, can not be silent, and also very noisy, but now they do not see all that in Blaze. Blaze currently looked so calm yet also looked extremely dangerous. Empress Ivona, who is Blaze's mother, realized that her Third Son was holding back all the emotions that were inside him.
He looked so restrained with anger, disappointment, and also sadness in his eyes even though his Third Son was now seen smirking cunningly. He could feel the various emotions raging within Blaze's golden-yellow eyes.
No one had commented yet that the servants again distributed papers containing important documents to everyone in the room. And after reading the writing.
"It's.... IT CAN'T BE!!!"
Castor sneered faintly, "That's a document about the extra workers for my Birthday Party and many of them are underworld hitmen that we haven't tracked down yet"
The nobles back rowdy, they were compact to immediately suspect one person.
"And of course I have to ask this to the person who recruited them. Smuggling poison Oleanders into the palace grounds were also newly recruited extra workers, both of which were adjacent to my Birthday Party. Isn't that Duke Curt?" Castor said with a thin grin and his eyes were also sharply staring at Duke Curt and Prince Helios who looked very surprised, even the body of Prince Helios was trembling violently.
'The first step of success' Castor and Blaze thought together.
