Chapter 32: The Empire's situation.
Major Changes Happened in the Atlas Empire
First of all, the hunger completely ceased, the Empire is completely capable of sustaining itself and With high class nutritional dishes, to top it off. Up until now even the Higher up still didn't know where the food comes from. Actually the Higher Ups don't even know what their position even is, because they weren't given any actual power. There is talk of a Big reconstruction, tho. All the man and women who lost their home in the war where in the Imperial City in Shelters.
Right now, the Imperial City is working at an extreme regime sheltering over 1000 times it's capacity, with the help of Heaven-Defying inventions like the Capsule House!
Hunger, refugees, medical treatments…Problems keep coming and the new Imperial Family seemed to come up every time with a miracle solution! In every piece of bread, in every safe home, the big shade of the Imperial Family seemed to plane over!
Although the Emperor didn't make any appearances, his last one was unforgettable. Every living person, every man and child saw what the new Emperor was capable off, the powerful words he said. Where everyone in the world thought that a population's uprising was imminent in the Empire. All the people where united with a deep sense of pride, and great hope and anticipation for the future:
"What kind of new solution will his Majesty come up with this time?
-Hehehe….Leave it to His majesty to surprise us everytime!!
-Did you hear? My cousin works at the court and apparently the Empress executed an Elder of the Sword Sect! The Sword Sect I tell you!
-What? Do you know who you are talking about?! The Sword Sect is one of the Four Heavenly Dragons of The Martial Alliance!
-Apparently, he was executed for beating a guard at the entrance!
-This…Impossible. It's The Sword Sect. Our Sword Princess Kosem is a disciple there!
-I was there! My sister is a Maid at the Imperial Palace, she saw the guards carry his body!
-Oh My God! This is crazy!
-What are you saying old man!! Didn't you remember the Words of his majesty! We are no longer people of the Combrosia Empire! We are of the ATLAS Empire! We do not allow anyone to look down on us!!
And now another weird change was spread like wildfire in the Empire!
"Did you hear the news? Apparently, all the Empire will be reconstructed from scratch! His Majesty is very dissatisfied with all the Higher Ups of the Empire!
-Yes, I heard he will even abolish the Minister of Left and Right Positions. From now on the decision will all be made by The Supreme Council.
-What? What is that?!"
The Members were still extremely mysterious, even the soldiers gathering around the imperial Garden clueless, little did they know. The first session of the Supreme Council had just passed with the Emperor getting reprimanded by his Second Vizir and his Empress. They didn't know that pink-haired saintness gracefully sipping tea was actually their mighty Second Vizir!
By her side was two heaven toppling beauties wearing the traditional Caftans of the Atlas Empire. A Healthy body has done wonders for Nunally who looked lively like a blooming flower. Shirley was still getting used to the weird dress code as she found it difficult to move:
"So! So…What does the Emperor look like?
Nunnaly laughed out lightly, Euphemia pouted a little:
"He is Imperial even more than father, he exudes great majesty, but…He is so stuborn!!
I was obviously right, he made such a big mistake, yet he refuses to acknowledge it!
Shirley had a weird face, Nunnaly giggled:
"By the face you make, he doesn't seem that bad.
Euphie smiled lightly:
-He reminds a little bit of Lelouch and Big Sister. He seem fierce with his enemies and extremely overprotective of the things he holds dear.
Nunnaly remembered his caring smile and nodded:
-He is indeed like Nii-san. But what were you fighting about ?
Euphie deeply sighed:
-I always had one goal, to avoid needless killing. I know that sooner or later we will definitely go to war, but if we have the opportunity to obtain what we want without any casualties wouldn't it be better?
-And do you think we can do that?
-I have an idea, but I am sure his Majesty already has a plan in mind. He just happens to have set back because he is a sensitive baby, like Lelouch always does.
Nunnaly laughed out. She really did miss spending time with her sister. To think they could live together everyday, talk, laugh, complain. She felt blessed from the bottom of her heart.
"That's why I decided I will go settle it myself with the Devils! I hear Leviathan is a woman so that should make it easier!"
She said with blazing eyes.
""You What ?!!""
"Your Highness, those are Devils we are talking about! Like the ones in the Bible! They are like super strong!
-So what? Matsuda and Motohama too are super strongs yet they seemed well-behaved boys. Although I feel they are scared of me, I wonder why…
Nunnaly sighed stopping Shirley, knowing nothing will stop her
-I am convinced that it will work out! If it was up to me I will be there by now. But his majesty said that he would only send me when Lelouch is back.
-Lulu?!
-That makes sense, he must worry about you.
-Hmph! Cornelia nee-san also used to always say that. I can take care of myself, you know? But still, I am looking forward to meeting him.
They both nodded a blissful smile on their face.
