"Duke, we know that you are saddened for His Highness' death but this is just too much!"
"The Empire is in turmoil and it has to be stabilize immediately!"
"The people are suffering, what the Empire needs now is stability and what Your Grace is doing is far from giving the stability that the Empire needed!"
"If His Highness is still alive, with his compassion and love for the Empire, he would definitely be disappointed on Your Grace!"
The Nobles continued to speak out. Since there is no Emperor anymore that is the one that is governoring the Empire, there is an urgent need to replace him
Even without the title, as long as someone is appointed to do the job of the Emperor, that is indeed beneficial for the Empire
However, who among these people really wants to appoint a new Emperor, a Regent, or whatever title they want to all for the sake of the Empire?
To stop its charge to ruins and to give the citizens a peace of mind?
