The Seven Throne

Elections

Meeting room.

In the middle of the room, there is a large round table with a few chairs that have been provided are on one side facing the entrance like a trial.

Every seat has been occupied by the most important people on this continent, while the Empress sits as the center of this meeting.

Surely each of these people brought a bodyguard with them for security reasons.

"Then, let's begin the 21st meeting of the Holy Throne Festival. Please bring in the current Seven King candidates"

The door opened and seven people entered simultaneously at the same time.

Um, there they are, all of them except me in that line.

This situation brought some suspicion towards me.

Fortunately, King Alvion wants to explain about this.

"Sorry about Alif, I got a report from his nurse that he lost too much mana during the battle, so he still recovering now."

Um, of course the report was falsified. That's because the nurse is actually a subordinate of the Empress.

Indeed, reports from Goudon do not remove all their suspicions, but that is enough for now.

"Okay, if there are no more problems, let's start with Lisa Armean, please raise your hands who want to offer to educate them."

There are two people who raise their hands.

"So King of Orion and King of Harvion. If this is according to the rules, then she may choose between you two. So let's listen to the reason why they chose her this time."

Responding to this, Lisa's face looked worried for a reason.

King Harvion chose to overtake.

"Let me speak first"

"Speak"

"Lisa Armean is from one of the noble families in Harvion, so I think it is the right choice to train her under my guidance"

King Orion cuts. His hand hit the table hard.

"Nonsense! The Armean family are just lowly nobles in Harvion who aren't even considered nobles. And you say that she's a nobleman from your kingdom !? What a joke, old man!"

But King Harvion still tried to calm down in response.

"What are you saying? I always respect every royal blood in my kingdom"

In other words, ordinary people are not valuable in his views, huh?

I don't think the Harvion kingdom is very good in the welfare of ordinary people.

"Nonsense! Nonsense! A cunning old man like you will only marry her off to your son so your son can become the King of the new kingdom. You are just a greedy worm!"

"Ohohoho, if I'm a greedy worm, then you must be a slayer who unhesitatingly removes everything that gets in your way."

"What did you say, old bastard?!"

This dispute is getting worse, no one wants to stop both of them?

"Please stop fighting, we are on a sacred program, there is also His Majesty the Empress, how can you behave like that?"

King Alvion decided to interfere. Well, it did work at first, but the fire of hostility between them did not seem to have subsided.

"Well Lisa Armean, even though there was a bit of a commotion, please make your choice"

King Orion did not even get a turn to explain the reason. Because it was felt that if their dispute would heat up if it continued, the Empress made this decision.

But Lisa looked hesitant and worried about something.

"Take it easy, I will send my subordinates to guard you wherever the kingdom you choose"

"I ... I choose the kingdom of Orion"

King Orion seemed very pleased with Lisa's choice and wanted to laugh at King Harvion who lost the election, but his intentions suddenly vanished when the Empress exerted tremendous pressure on him, which was even felt by everyone in this room.

Surely this was only a warning, they did not even want to imagine the consequences if it continued to bring the Empress's anger.

"Alright, let's continue to Rayford Luix. Please raise your hands who want to volunteer for him"

This time only one raised his hand, again King Harvion.

"Well, Rayford Luix will be under the protection of the kingdom of Harvion. Furthermore Grayford Luix"

Unlike before, no King immediately raised his hand. The reason? Because unlike Lisa or Rayford, Grayford has never shown extraordinary ability in combat. And because he holds the same type of weapon as one candidate to another, there is little anxiety about him.

It was like a hard slap on Grayford's face, he felt insulted by his different treatment.

But finally, someone raised his hand. That's King Alvion, Goudon.

But this did not have a good effect on Grayford, he clearly realized that he was being given mercy. However, his pride made him hate being pitied. But he was forced to accept it even though he hated it, it was still better than the shame nobody wanted.

"Next, Sania Mesaria"

That was the name of one of the twin girls, she was the bow holder.

One more person who raised his hand.

"Kings Sarion, I did not think you would interfere this time"

"Your Majesty, it is my duty to interfere in world peace"

King Orion laughed loudly as if mocking the words of King Sarion.

"Haha, that's was a very funny, old man. You usually don't even care about anything other than your own kingdom"

"Right, I won't deny it. But I got a report from my subordinate a few days ago, there was an abnormal movement of the dragons who usually slept around my territory"

All were silent, they seemed to understand it, or maybe more precisely they had a similar report.

"If so, let's speed up the process of their development, we don't have much time"

All Kings also agree with the Empress, there is no time to fight while destruction awaits them.

"Next, Reisa Mesaria"

Like when Grayford, no one immediately raised his hand. But after a while, a king raises his hand.

"Reisa will be under the protection of King Camelion"

"Haha, welcome back home, Reisa"

Reisa just silent, or even does not care at all.

There are only two people left, the man I fought before, and another man who always has a smile on his face.

"Next up, Arvan Reolian"

The turn man with the scythe first.

This election takes place quickly, once a King raises his hand, then the other one will be in the guidance of the last King.

And ... One person raises his hand.

"In that case, Arvan Reolian will be with King Carion. And Lerian Deon will be with King Vertrion. Does anyone disagree with that?"

All King was silent, there was no rejection anymore.

"Then, this meeting is over"

But King Harvion quickly interrupted.

"Wait a moment Your Majesty, isn't there still one more person? I've been waiting for this moment. If you permit me, I will bring Alif with me"

King Orion chimed in.

"Huh? Even to the end, you're still greedy, pour some farts!"

"Hehehe, there is no written rule that can only bring one candidate from the Seven Kings in one kingdom. So it's legitimate"

"Nonsense! Then I will fight over it too"

King Alvion seems to want to interfere this time too.

"Wait a minute, my kingdom was the first to find him, so he is under my responsibility"

"King Alvion, your reasons don't make sense. Tell you what, anyone who wants Alif, please raise your hand"

King Sarion gave a pretty good proposal... Or maybe not.

All Kings raise their hands. This is getting worse. Why doesn't the Emperor act?

"Hey hey, what's up with all of you? It's rare for you to act like this"

"Hehehe, King Camelion, basically humans are greedy. How could we not be greedy after seeing Alif's fighting ability? He was able to bring up large-scale troops alone, and he still had enough strength to defeat other candidates. Furthermore, his development must be on a terrible level "

I didn't know that their ratings were that high to me. No wonder, is the Empress chose me just before this meeting began is because of this?

"Sirs, let us finish here. Alif will be under the protection of the Empire, so there will be no envy between seven kingdoms"

Although it seemed difficult to accept, the seven kings were forced to give up and buried back their greed.

It seems like something like this has been predicted by the Empress. Well, however, she is a person of the highest position, it would be bad if something like this could not be anticipated.
