The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 283: A missing princess.

The arguments continued and no consensus was reached. After one hour of non stop back and forth, Akia

decided that it was tfor a break.

"It is a good sign that everyone is eager to rule our empire and lead it to greatness. | suggest that we all take a

break now replenish ourselves. Food and drink has been provided in plenty."

As she suggested, so it happened. Not every guest ate, in fact half of them did not eat because they were

worried that they would be poisoned. After what had happened to the king, their worries were not easily

dismissed.

Musicians sang, jesters did their best to make the guests laugh, danced showed off their best moves. Sof

the most recognized scholars recited poetry and Medoris’s best flutist soothed the men and women with his

healing tunes.

And yet, that did not alleviate the tension in the hall. The nobles were anxious to continue with the matters

which had brought them there. But, three hours later, as the day begun to fade, it continued to look more and

more like that was not going to happen.

Akia, whose duty it was to manage the talks was laughing and making merry with a group of young ladies and

lords as if the matters which for which she had called all these important people were of no concern.

Impatient, Mathe fourth snapped, stood up and bellowed. "Enough! We have been here for six hours. Two

were wasted on announcing who was attending this banquet. We spent only one talking about the next best

noble Lord to lead our empire and three hours have been wasted on this food and drink celebration. May |

remind you of what brought us here?"

The musicians stopped playing their music, the jesters quit with their antics and the hall was plunged into a

mixture of silence and murmurs.

"If you and Lord Ridley had not spent that one hour comparing whose blood was more nobler than the others

perhaps we would have seen sprogress. It is rather amusing because there is someone that is of nobler

blood than the two of you." Amelia said.

Those were the first words that she said since she arrived at the banquet and they were shocking enough to

make everyone hold their tongues.

Mathe fourth and Alexander Riley were vibrating in their seats. It sounded to their ears like Amelia was

suggesting that there was another person with royal blood and a stronger claim to the throne than them.

"What do your words mean?" Akia was the first to ask.

Amelia brushed her hair back, but a gust of wind blew it back to the front. She ignored the hair and said, "Might |

remind you all that the emperor has one more living child, his oldest daughter."

"The missing princess!" Alexander exclaimed and he sneered.

"She is probably dead by now." Mapitched in with his own opinion and sneer. "And even if she is not dead,

what right does she have to cout of nowhere and claim the throne? Times have changed and even though

this development has swept through our land like flood, we must always remember out roots and tradition. The

golden throne of Medoris is meant for men and not women."

From the nods in the room, many men agreed with what he said.

Amelia scoffed. "Only weak men think that a woman holding power is a thing to fear. They said that a woman

could not rule a noble house and yet | defied all odds and did so. Today, Suncrest is a nmentioned with pride

because of what I have built it into."

Her words displeased sof the noble lords and and yet they did not defy her immediately.

"My female knights won wars for the late emperor, we even challenged the knights of this foreign church and

killed many of them. We stopped their initial invasion of our land." She spoke with force and pride.

The female knights puffed up their chests which pleased smale gazes that were admiring the women.

"And we are grateful for what you have accomplished but the golden throne will not be passed to a woman."

Grand duke Ridley thundered. He stood up, fury marking his face. "I don’t think that there is anything to gain

from this banquet and | must excuse myself."

He and his group left, their stomachs as empty as they had been when they entered the hall.

His departure seemed to be the signal that the rest were waiting for to depart as well. In forty minutes, the hall

was emptied with the exception of Akira, her mages and Amelia and her female knights.

"Are you really neutral?" Amelia asked Akira. The question was simple but the smile on the face of the woman

that asked it was not.

Akira responded with a question of her own. "We have known each other for two years now and yet you have

never mentioned this lost princess to me. | thought that we were closer than this Amelia."

Amelia shrugged. She picked up and

orange and slowly started to peel it.

They will call for the beheading of all women immediately just to prevent it from happening. Which brings me

back to my question. Are truly remaining neutral in this battle for the throne?"

Akia shrugged. "lI am a mage. My duty is to the people, | will serve whoever sits on the throne."

"So if your father decides to annex the throne, will you support him or not?" Amelia leaned forward.
