It was the day of the meeting, Ophelia had asked Leon to look into the epidemic that had occurred in the Middle Eastern countries a few centuries back.

Even though he was confused he had asked Zodan and Zelda to follow on what she said and continued with his own research.

And Ophelia whom had asked to leave the Royal estate was running late on her return.

The aristocrats had gathered in the House of Nobles as the meeting had already begun.

And it was time to decide on which group would fight against the pandemic as all the other issues that had been arising in the empire had been given out except for this and another.

"Duke of Malbey," the head boards announcer commenced as he read off his paper.

"You have been selected to handle the issue of the upcoming disease by the Emporer,"

The Duke of Malbey gave a smirk to the Emperor in which he returned a grin, he strutted up to the podium to claim his case.

Leon whom expected this, stood up and exclaimed "I object! I feel as though my team should handle this case since we are more knowledgeable,"

"Nonsense! Me, my son and the Empress have agreed on his team, are you questioning our authority, Crawford!?" The Emporer declared.

Of course, the Emporer would want the Duke of Malbey to get this case since he and some of the other nobles are working with him in his criminal schemes.

The Empress then stated " I never necessarily agreed, plus the Duke of Crawford has a point. If he can prove his politicians are more suited for the job why should we reject? Whatever is better for the people is what we shall proceed with,"

The Emporer gritted his teeth at his wife's different opinion. 'Celestia always trying to do what's best for the people....' he complained in his mind.

Then Malbey who became slightly stressed interrupted and said "I am better equipped for this, my team will ensure those who are ill stay at home whilst those who aren't can go out. Plus the disease is said to be spread by a certain bug bite, and all we have to do is sell more repellents," he then turned to the other nobles.

"Plus we could sell these insect repellents to them, a great way of making money and saving the people,"

The Emporer then gave a loud laugh with an applause. Many of the other aristocrats agreeing and pleased with the new business opportunity followed.

"How about you Duke of Crawford?" The Empress who showed no emotion at Malbey's answer asked him.

The Duke stepped forward and replied, "I will make sure people in highly infected places are secluded to their areas and not being able to travel or leave their houses for a short while. We can ensure this using the military. Furthermore, we should protect our elderly and orphans by moving them into facilitated homes instead of the filthy streets. And lastly, I would focus my energy on supplying food to the people as malnourishment can interrupt healing and weaken the immune system-"

"Utter ludicrous!" The Duke of Malbey declared "Do you understand how expensive that is,"

And with that, the other Nobles involved themselves yelling things like, "What will happen to our businesses if the people don't go to shop at them?!"
