Episode 108.

At the same time, the imperial palace of the Crescenta Empire.

The residence of the 38th Emperor Vallock Francese Crescenta, the Gracia Manor of Kerum Castle.

Even though it was still early in the morning and the sun had not fully risen, tired eyes, including those of the emperor, gathered.

Currently, discussions about the revision of national laws in the imperial legislative institution, Lejislas, were in full swing.

Since receiving a letter from Duke Louvermont requesting a revision of the marriage law, Lejislas had been extremely busy.

Matapju, the Archmage Wignoer Maydou, was summoned here as a high-ranking official of the imperial court, but he had no interest in the heated discussions at the moment.

"We have already completed the revision of the legal code. Wouldn't it be better to announce it instead of delaying?"

The Chief Justice of Areopagus, the judicial institution of the Crescenta Empire, cautiously spoke in a slightly anxious voice.

Several days had already passed since the discussions began.

The law revision had been completed, but the announcement was being hesitated. If they were going to bend to Duke Louvermont's taste anyway, it would be better to take action sooner.

There was nothing to gain by confronting that fearsome figure and losing to him in the imperial court.

The emperor stroked his white beard with his dry fingers and swallowed his sigh. His face had become haggard in the past few days.

"Well. . . Are all of you thinking the same thing?"

The emperor looked at the faces of the five high-ranking officials gathered in Gracia Manor one by one and asked for the last time.

There was no one to object. All of them agreed that there was no need to touch Duke Louvermont's suspicions.

"If you plan to announce it anyway, it would be best to do it as soon as possible, Your Majesty."

"Yes, the Chief Justice is right. There is no need to send another letter urging Duke Louvermont. . ."

The Chief Justice and the Administrative Official spoke in turn.

As the emperor stared at their faces, dripping with cold sweat, he nodded weakly as if making a decision.

The only revision requested by Duke Louvermont was to grant freedom to adult imperial citizens to decide on their own marriage without the permission of their families.

It was not a big issue to amend just one marriage law, nor did it mean involvement in the administration of the royal court. However, this law revision was intended to strengthen the growing power of Duke Louvermont.

At first glance, it seemed like a ridiculous picture of the royal court easily accommodating the demands of the duke. It may be at the level of "Fix the law because I need it now!" but if it continues like this, someday. . .

Who knows if it will become "Step aside and let me try being the emperor!"?

The old emperor imagined the face of the young and frail crown prince and accepted his impending death. As Duke Louvermont's power grew day by day, it was no longer a joke to say "The world may change."

"Alright, then let the Chief Justice announce the revision matter. . ."

"Your Majesty, Lord Whistlener is here."
