Marigold fell into the Yandere's arms

Chapter 126

Because they knew that the western families were strong.

"I also want to punish Crawford. Making the duke pay the price doesn't mean your family will come back, but I want to apologize anyway. The imperial family's failure to protect them."

Genoa continued speaking with a sullen face.

"However, I have no military power. Right now, all I can do with my authority is cut off supplies from the West."

He secretly revealed that it was not the emperor who cut off the supplies of the West, but himself.

"The doctor said that you never know when Abamama will wake up. It seems that your body has weakened a lot because of the severe mental pain."

Everyone in attendance understood what Genoa was saying.

That the Crawford cannot be dealt with unless the Emperor with military power awakens.

If the emperor is unable to carry out state affairs for unavoidable reasons, the Crown Prince takes over the authority of the emperor.

However, it was not possible to delegate all authority. As far as military power, there were restrictions.

One grand duke and three dukes could only act on behalf of the Crown Prince only after the request of two or more families and the consent of a majority at the nobility council.

The military power included the power to conscript knights and soldiers from each family, so restrictions were placed on it.

However, there were exceptions. Powers could be used temporarily in rebellion or wartime situations.

In the end, this meant that Genoa could use its military power only if Duke Crawford had to invade the Imperial Palace.

"Even if he wakes up, he said it would be difficult to see government affairs for a while."

Genoa looked at the atmosphere in the meeting room and added a few words.

There was silence in the conference room, probably because everyone was immersed in thought.

Then the Duke of Shabini stepped forward.

"Sir, may I say something?"

Genoa nodded in consent.

"Duke Crawford is the one who summons demons. He never knows when or where he will attack our family again."

He chose only words that provoked the victims' families, who were still engulfed in sorrow and anger.

This caused agitation among the attendees.

"Now that you have cut off supplies from the West, will you stay still in that holy spirit? He may lead the entire western family into the Imperial Palace."

"Since we cut off supplies, won't there be divisions within the West as well? Then Duke Crawford would be immobilized."

One of the attendees cautiously rebutted Duke Shabini's comments.

"So, is it safe to say?"

The Duke of Shabini glared at the man with a bitter gaze.

"It's not like that, but we still have time to spare, so I told you to be careful."

"I am of the same opinion. His Majesty the Emperor is not seriously ill, so why not wait a little longer?"

The gray-haired old gentleman responded calmly by wrapping around the previous speaker.

"Marquis of Ecalte, you have never lost a family to a demon, so you can speak so calmly."

"Dong Shabini, you are talking too much."
