Space Between Us

Chapter 64 (Little Cracks)

***

"There's 64 Viceroys who went down on their positions. Mainly because of what happened in Aes Sidhe" Halos hindi maalis sa mukha ni Emperor Reiko ang galit sa binalita sa kaniya ng mga Counselors.

"I think this is also the doings of the Elders. I have an intel that they've been encouraging the Viceroy to do that" Dagdag ni Merek sa sinabi ni Tybalt.

"Those rats. Let's do something about them before they steer more chaos in the Empire-"

*BLAG*

Uzuri didn't got to finished her sentence when the Emperor slap his hand on the table making a loud noise. "Stop with impulsive decisions! This mess happened because of the royal army who didn't listen to my orders!" Emperor Reiko exclaimed. Everyone stop talking.

While the Emperor is fuming in anger, Merek can't help himself but to get satisfied with his reaction. Everything that they're planning is working, that will give them an opening to take the throne.

Everything is now in favour of them, they just waiting for the right time to ambush the Emperor. And be the hero on the Abydos Empire.

"We also have to keep in mind that the Empress is still on loose. Who knows that she also plotting something?" Uzuri added.

"Her? I don't think so. We know that she is in the domain but can she do anything outside? Does she even know where to go?" Merek said with a condescending laugh. While he is laughing, the Emperor shifted his glance to him. Then something struck to him.

"Speaking of the Domain. Where did Prince Clovis entered? He was found inside the Domain right? So all this time he was there" That statement from Tybalt caught the attention of the Emperor.

"I did task him with that" Tumaas ang kilay ni Merek sa sinabi ni Emperor Reiko.

"And where did he entered the Domain?" He tried to sniff out. The Emperor look at him. "At Aes Sidhe, where else he could enter?" Napatango na lang si Merek at hindi na nag tanong pa. He doesn't want the Emperor to be suspicious around him.

"The chaos in Eglesos and Xeriolas is still ongoing. What should we do with that Your Highness? We can't just let them go again, the whole Sacania is already in our govern" Tybalt change the topic. Emperor Reiko rest his chin on the back of his hand and stared at the hologram in front of him.

Countless problems are pilling up but he sure knows what to do first and how to control his people. "Prince Aurelius will take care of it" He simply answer.

"How about you Your Highness? What you're going to do here if Prince Aurelius will handle them?" Emperor Reiko look at him directly in his eyes and answer. "Rats has been moving around in my Empire, I should put and end to them"

"Klaus has told us that he will lead the operation to find the Empress" Uzuri said which the Emperor acknowledge. "I'm aware of that"

"I'll give orders later about the other issues. Dismissed" Naunang umalis si Emperor Reiko at iniwan ang council sa loob ng kaniyang office.

Prince Clovis sat on his chair inside his room in the Palace, he is still processing everything that his brother said to him in the prison.

He only plan to stay here in the Palace after the wedding of the Emperor but with the current situation, he is obliged to stay and help the Palace even though he doesn't want to.

"So many questions" he whispered to himself. He has a lot of questions that he doesn't even know what to ask first.

He stood up on his chair and dress up to go to the Palace Library. After 10 minutes of preparing, he arrived at the library.
