Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 136 – HELIOS AS EMPEROR
At times when I was thinking about how to protect Vierra, suddenly I got a surprising information that Vierra was pregnant.
Apparently, my ignorance at that time gave Kak Tius a stimulant drug made from a mixture of orc seed extract and the roots of the baryotte plant secretly produced unexpected results.
With the pregnancy of Sister Vierra, perhaps this could be an opportunity for me to protect her from the fate of the sacred temple exile.
It's just that the problem is, the child will still be long to be born, while soon I will be officially inaugurated as the new king, no, I mean the new emperor.
If so, the status of the baby in the womb of Vierra's sister will fall as property, not as an individual who inherits the rights of the imperial family.
There was a law in the second strata of the southern imperial constitution that stated that the imperial family that supported the new emperor would not experience the seclusion of the holy temple.
Then in the third strata of the southern imperial constitution, there are laws governing the right of guardianship in which if a person is not old enough, then the decision-making concerned with the living standards concerned will be left to their guardians until they are old enough to decide for themselves.
This rule can be a loophole for me to save Brother Vierra from exile as well as with the baby in the womb.
It was just that, since it had not been born into this world, it was clear that the baby would not yet be considered as one of the imperial family individuals.
I must make changes to some of the rules enshrined in the third strata of the southern imperial constitution, the definition of a baby coming from the seed of one of the members of the southern imperial family can also be considered as an individual of the imperial family.
The terms of changing the rules contained in the constitution of the third strata of the southern empire are clearly relatively easier than the first and second strata whose levels are above it. It only requires the approval of the king and a minimum of 50 % plus 1 member of the senate of nobles or in other words 61 out of 120 members of the senate of nobility that exist must agree to the proposed bill that I made.
It is clear that Kak Tius' former supporters will support this plan as such, the baby that was inside the belly of Brother Vierra who could be said to be one of the potential members in their faction could secure his place in the imperial family. Coupled with the members of the western region faction who would obviously fulfill my wish, then the number of votes I could secure had reached 69 votes.
The rules regarding the definition of the individual and his rights and obligations to the third strata of the southern imperial constitution will not be impossible for me to change.
At least, that's what I think. But I was too naive.
“Sorry, Your Majesty Emperor Helios sun Meglovia. I can't fulfill your wish.”
Duke Glenn van Rodriguez, who used to be a loyal supporter of the Kak Tius faction, rejected the draft law that I submitted.
“Why?! Wouldn't that also ease your political path in our new empire?!”
“Your Majesty the Emperor knows why there are too many duke titles in our former royal territory even surpassing many in the northern empire when the area of our territory was once nothing?”
“…”
“That is because the founders of our kingdom in the past grossly underestimated the greed of mankind.”
I, who was surprised at the change in direction of the Duke's sudden conversation, asked him firmly to the Duke.
“Why did you suddenly discuss it?”
I saw the Duke looking at me softly before starting to explain the meaning of his words.
“Many people are cunning in the kingdom, no, now we have switched status to empire apparently, I mean in our southern empire, this, who will be ready to find the narrowest loophole applicable rules to meet their ambitions.”
“You mean this proposed bill?”
“That's how it is, His Majesty the Emperor. Obviously not only you who have ever thought how unfair the treatment to a baby candidate who is one of the candidates for the imperial family, he said, it is only because he has not been born into the world that he does not yet have his rights as an individual that causes him to end up in a bitter future that has been determined without a chance that the baby will be born choosing many possible periods front alone.”
After a long silence, the duke replied, “It will certainly cause more and more wide open roads to occupy the position of the imperial family which results in the position of the duke is increasingly abundant which has the potential for political instability in our country.”
“But that's just unproven speculation, Duke Rodriguez!”
“As one of our new imperial protectors, it is my duty to prevent such potential future dangers.”
“That is not what I am talking about right now!”
“Your Majesty the Emperor, I know you are someone who is soft-hearted, then as a cruel and cold-hearted grandfather, let this Grandfather be a figure you hate. All for the long-term success of our southern empire.”
It's not that I don't understand what Grandpa Glenn meant, it's just that I don't want to accept it.
If allowed to continue like this, then it is clear the fate of Kak Vierra and baby Kak Tius conceived in his stomach waiting in plain sight. As sister-in-law of Brother Vierra and as the future uncle of the baby, I don't want to see them suffer.
Brother Vierra will end up being a sacred servant confined in the seclusion of the sacred temple for the rest of his life. As for the future babies that will be born later will end up as sacred temple property that they can trade as slaves.
Why also Brother Vierra and his future baby must end with unfortunate luck when there is me as the uncle of the baby that can be said to be established? I am an emperor who has the highest power in this country, so why is it that even to save the future of my nephews alone I cannot? Isn't that really weird?
Until now I can still avoid the expulsion of Kak Vierra and the prospective baby in the womb on the grounds that I have not been officially inaugurated as emperor so that the rules in the first and second strata of the southern imperial constitution it's not right to apply.
However, it was only a matter of time until I was officially inaugurated from my new post. That means the expulsion of Brother Vierra is also already in the eye pelupuk. If I don't quickly find a solution, then I will lose Brother Vierra and his future baby by my side for good.
When I was confused to think about the problem of Brother Vierra and the prospective baby she contains, a new problem arose. Something that I had predicted from the beginning was going to happen, a domestic uprising that took place in the east and south of the former territory of Meglovia before Cabalcus and Ignitia joined it. It was the territory of the Tellborne and Rodhelton factions.
I sent Albert to overcome the rebellion of the Tellborne region in the east with the help of Grand Duke Stephanus on the opposite side, while for the Rodhelton region in the south, I sent Alice and Damian there.
Thinking of it anyway, a rebellion from them would be difficult unless they did think of a chance to win. If they do think of any chance of winning, it means they have an ace in their hand.
Regionally, they were besieged by the territory of Duke Orsena in the north, the territory of Cabalcus in the east, as well as the territory of the Painfinn faction in the west. That would obviously make it difficult for them to secure ammunition and food supplies. Why are they trying to revolt?
All that is only possible with the intervention of the Maosium Kingdom on the Ifrak Continent in the south of the continent which is indeed seen doing suspicious activity lately.
And bingo.
I found their ship sailing towards our southern empire preparing to support the rebellion that was taking place in the Tellborne and Rodhelton regions.
This is not the time for us to spend time and energy on them amid preparations for a massive war against the Northern Empire Vlonhard.
I also told Yasmin to manipulate the kraken group located in the southern waters of Painfinn City to rampage in their waterways to prevent the rebel allies from setting foot on the Continent of Ernoa.
I could have told Yasmin to go on a rampage directly destroying their ships, but if so, then, it would only be a political reason for them to launch an onslaught directly without any need to clandestinely clandestinely attack our southern imperial territory.
We will be seen in the world as a country that started the war so that our image will be damaged, even though it is clear moreover their purpose to bring thousands of soldiers to the territory of others who are experiencing internal rebellion in addition to chaos in the region.
But most people around the world will not want to see things that are hidden and will only make judgments based on what is seen on the surface. Oelh therefore, we must also be smart in responding to it.
Then when my energy was running out after dealing with the chaos in the country as the top leader in the country, Doctor Minerva came to visit me secretly through his portal.
