A young man walks through the crowd.
"Who is that young man? How dare he sit there." asked one of the people in the crowd.
"I heard he's the cousin of the vice-chairman and also the leader's confidant."
"That means he's met the leader."
"From now on, I will take the place of the representative of the Akephaloi organization."
The Akephaloi organization, also known as Blemmyes, means people without a facial appearance on the chest. A group that only has a vice-chairman without a leader. Many people say it has a leader, but its existence is mysterious. Some believe that they do not have a leader. Some say that their vice-chairman is the leader himself. Lots of different opinions. But a group of people still wanted to come in and become members of the Akephaloi. This organization has been running for ten years. Emmanuel sat in the chair that Arthur used to sit on.
"Who are you to dare to say that?"
"Drag him and take him out!"
"Yes."
People shouted with anger. Their vice-chairman was a highly respected man.
"I am your vice chairman's confidant. If you kick me out, you've betrayed the vice-chairman."
A scroll was taken from the inside of his shirt. Emmanuel then gave the scroll to his cousin Arthur's confidant. The middle-aged man received the scroll. He then read it.
"Right. This is an order from the vice-chairman."
A letter that has a stamp only belongs to their vice-chairman. Everyone immediately knelt and saluted Emmanuel.
"We will devote ourselves to the master."
"In the future, you will have to obey all my orders."
"Master's words are orders that must be carried out."
"Because this is the first meeting. We'll meet here again tomorrow morning."
"Ready, Sir."
Emmanuel ended the meeting. He then walked away. Not long after that, the group of people following dispersed.
knock-knock.
"Come in!"
The man named Erick came into Emmanuel's room, sitting down.
"Is there an order from the master?"
"I called you because there was something you wanted to do."
Emmanuel then gave orders to Erick. The man was Arthur's confidant. A while later, after Emmanuel said it. Erick then bent his knees.
"The order will be carried out."

At the residence of Duke Magnus. A bodyguard confronts Camila.
"You guys step aside! I want to meet the Lord Duke."
"Sorry, ladies. Lord Duke is busy. He can't receive guests."
"Don't you know me? Tell the Lord the Duke that his lover is coming here."
"Sorry, Lord Duke is unable to receive guests."
Camila bit her lip. She was furious. How dare a bodyguard block her. They must be lying. Lord Duke loves Camila very much. There was no way the lord Duke would avoid it. Camila was trying to get in. But she is always in the way. She'd better go home first. Making a plan to meet the Duke's lord. Camila then turned around and left. Duke Magnus learned of Lady Camila's return from his bedroom window. The window cannot be seen from the outside. Lady Camila stopped at the Duke lord's front yard. She then looked towards the window of the Duke's room. Camila hoped her lover would look out the window. The Duke turned her face away for a moment. When he looked back at the page. Ladies Camila is no longer there. Mixed feelings. The Duke still loves Ladies Camila. After all, that girl was his first love. Even though the love has faded and only a few pieces remain. Lord Duke never hated ladies Camila. However, he is at fault. If only Lord Duke could make a firm decision. There will be no hurt between ladies Camila and the Empress. Lord Duke will now make a decision. He will not betray his wife. Lord Duke will end his relationship with Ladies Camila. He does it for the good of all. Ladies Camila is still young and beautiful. She has also become a noble. Surely many young and unmarried men would want to marry her. One day she will find happiness with a man who truly loves her. Much better than Duke Magnus.
"I have already kicked her out, Mr. Duke."
"Good. Keep doing that if ladies Camila comes to this residence."
"Yes, sir."
Duke Magnus walked towards the palace. The ladies and gentlemen of the court bowed and gave greetings. The Duke then opened the door to the study that the Empress often used. When the door opens. The place looks empty. No empress figure is usually seen. Duke's tears suddenly burst out. Duke then held the cheek where there were tears. His hands were instantly wet.
"Why am I shedding tears? What's the matter with me?"
Lord Duke's heartfelt sad and empty. He missed the Empress. Haven't seen his wife for a week. This was the first time he had felt the turmoil in his heart. Is this how his wife feels all this time? For many years the lord Duke paid no heed to the Empress. He always spends time with Ladies Camila. When he met, Duke tried to avoid and ignore his wife. Now he feels his life is empty. What if the Empress fell in love with another man and decided to divorce him?
"Hurry back, my wife! I'm sorry I've hurt your heart all this time."

In the Southern kingdom. The Empress smiled as the Lion King fed her.
"Her Highness the Empress."
Karol opened the door and called out to me. The Lion King glared at Karol. They will clash again. I have to say something to lighten the mood.
"Is there anything important, Karol?"
Karol walks in. He gives a letter.
"This is a telegram from the prime minister."
The Empress then opened the letter. After reading it, the Empress then sighed.
"What is in the letter, Her Majesty the Empress?" Ask the Lion King to me.
"The prime minister wants to take time off because his wife has just given birth."
The Lion King understood that the time of the Empress in his kingdom was not long. He had to come back soon, unlike the Lion King, who was sad. Carol smiled happily. With this, the Empress will not be with the Lion king. Karol didn't like it. The Lion King is a dangerous man. Karol didn't want the Empress to fall in love with the man. Soon Karol will have to take the Empress away. The letter from the prime minister became the main reason for him for the Empress to return to the Northern Kingdom. Luck is now on Karol's side.
"The prime minister is a firm person. He will be angry if Her Majesty the Empress does not return soon." Karol said to the Empress.
I then looked at his face. Karol's words are correct. Even though he's only been here a few months. The Empress knew very well what would happen if she ignored her uncle.
"Okay. We'll be back tomorrow."
"In that case. I will prepare it soon enough."
