Chapter 457: The Meeting With The Ministers

"Really?"

Lawrend looked at her with slight surprise. He knew nothing of the emperor, and he never tried to learn about him. Seeing that he was being forceful, he realized that that might have been a mistake.

Since he was going to the empire, he should have asked around for what kind of a person he was.

"When the emperor was roaming around the world 1000 years ago, he was famous to the surrounding Empires as the Earth Shatterer. There was once a time when a Crown Prince of a kingdom from another empire angered him.

"He made a giant rift that destroyed their kingdom. The empire that controlled that kingdom could only ask for a small compensation from the emperor at that time," Loa explained with a proud look on her face.

"..."

Lawrend became silent.

Saying no to the emperor would anger him. He was also unsure if the emperor would dare leave his empire and attack his kingdom. He would surely lose everything he worked hard for if he does.

"I will give you an answer tomorrow," Lawrend said to her solemnly.

Loa eyed him for a few seconds.

"The emperor can send another Earth Mage here if he wanted to," Loa said and stood up.

Lawrend lightly nodded at her. She then looked at him one last time before she left. Aezel followed after her to escort her out.

"Master, what do we do now?" Humility asked with a face full of worry.

As the Princess of the kingdom and the one to suggest to him to take the throne, she felt very worried. If the Undrasil Kingdom was destroyed, all of her dreams would vanish into nothing.

"Don't worry. First, gather all the ministers and invite Verkoli in," Lawrend replied to her.

"I understand, Master," Humility responded reluctantly.

And so, after an hour, a group of 8 people was gathered. They sat in front of Lawrend.

They were the ministers of this kingdom, except for the previous Prime Minister that was missing. Presumably, he was scared of getting executed, so he left and hid.

All of them were Arch Mages.

Included in this group of people was Verkoli. He stared at Lawrend with a look of confusion on his face. This meeting seemed to be related to the kingdom, and he doesn't think he was supposed to be here.

Humility sat beside Lawrend while Aezel stood behind him.

"I invited all of you here to discuss something," Lawrend said.

"Is it about the empire?" one of the ministers spoke up.

He was the Minister of Trade and Commerce. He manages the trade and businesses in the kingdom. He was an old man with a clearly defined mustache on his face.

"Correct. I have decided to leave this kingdom," Lawrend said.

"What!?" Verkoli exclaimed.

"Master??"

Humility looked at Lawrend in shock.

As for the ministers, they also did the same. No one could have thought that he would leave the kingdom.

"Don't worry. We will come back. Once my children are born, I will return and take this kingdom back," Lawrend explained to her.

"I… What about all the hard work we did?" Humility asked as she bit her lips bitterly.

"I don't want the empire to take all of you as hostages. That would make me anxious," Lawrend replied.

"Master…"

Humility became sad. She stared into his eyes. She wanted to say something, but she shut her mouth.

"As all of you know, the empire wants me to go to their capital. I assume that they want to assimilate me into their culture and social circle. They are starting to feel worried about my strength.

"I can already feel it. I can advance to another level sometime soon. Once I do so, I will declare the kingdom as an empire. We will expand and become even more formidable," Lawrend said.

His ambition and determination blazed in his eyes. All of which made the ministers and Verkoli feel like they were about to witness a new era.

Humility widened her mouth in amazement. Her worry disappeared in her heart, and she felt that this wasn't a bad outcome. An empire made by her Master… Her heart was filled with excitement just by thinking about it.

As for Aezel, she was smiling widely.

'As expected of Master,' she thought.

"So, we will leave this kingdom. I won't reveal our destination for obvious reasons."

After Lawrend finished that sentence, he looked over to Verkoli.

"Mr. Verkoli, with the help of the ministers here, take the throne. If the previous Crown Prince returns, tell him to f*ck off, or I will kill him if I see him making a mess out of the kingdom," Lawrend said seriously.

The Crown Prince could easily rally up people that supported the Undrasil Royal Family. The civil unrest could cover the whole kingdom if they were not stopped. It would be harder to control it at that time, and they would lose a lot of strength.

"The Crown Prince is still alive!?" the Minister of Justice exclaimed.

The Minister of Justice was a middle-aged man. He was the guy that managed the laws and dealt with punishment for crimes against the law.

He was already dissatisfied when Lawrend banned the slavery of demihumans. He thought that it was a bullsh*t idea. Slavery was a big part of the kingdom's income as they were heavily taxed.

"What? If you have anything to say, say it," Humility asked coldly.

As the person that gave the new laws to the Minister of Justice, she was familiar with his dissatisfaction with Lawrend.

"N-Nothing," the Minister of Justice quickly replied.

His quick admit of defeat made him seem more suspicious in Humility's eyes.

"Master, execute him before we leave," Humility whispered into Lawrend's ears.

Even though that was a whisper, they clearly heard her words. Everyone here was an Arch Mage and that naturally boosted their senses.

The Minister of Justice quickly panicked.

"Princess, have mercy!" the Minister of Justice shouted.

"Hmph," Humility harrumphed and ignored him.
