When Nadeline had thanked Wesley for the gift, he would actually motion her to follow him as he just wanted to talk to her for a while. Plus, they both could help each other with preparing for the trip. It would be two hours and that was something that Wesley would use to his advantage. Meanwhile, Jaakuna and Emiri headed to his room. Two hours was still ways away, they would use this time to also prepare. Now, that just left Savayna and Grant alone.
Savayna still sat at the lounge couch. She didn’t really need anything else, she was pretty much ready. She felt like the odd one out as everyone else was doing stuff. She looked to Grant. Her cheeks slightly blushed, but that was only cause of how good she thought he looked. Though, aside that, they were alone. Jaakuna and Emiri were in Jaak’s room, Nadeline and Wesley went off to prepare for the trip ahead of them and that left Grant and Savayna just alone. She felt a little awkward with Grant. There was just some things left to be said. She looked to him once more. “You know, we still have things to talk about.” She said sort of blushing.
In the supply room, Wesley and Nadeline were there organizing everything. They were making sure that all six of them had equal amounts of the supplies and that they were all set. Wesley was actually enjoying this. To some it might be boring labor and if it were with any other person, Wesley would think the same, but with Nadeline, nothing is ever boring labor. The two of them were growing closer and closer as the days passed on. Even as they would keep on doing what they were doing, Wesley would speak. “So, have you ever heard of this Lola person?” Wesley asked.
Meanwhile up in Jaakuna’s room, Jaakuna and Emiri walked in. He still was a little mad at her for going to Reia’s. He couldn’t voice his opinion in front of everyone cause the things he had to say would be a little too embarrassing to speak to them all. Plus, Jaakuna wanted to address this to her in private anyways. Jaakuna sat down at the edge of his bed and looked to Emiri “I couldn’t say this down with everyone else, but be honest with me.” He said, “You’re scared of Lola, aren’t you?” He asked.
As the morning dragged on, Hamut walked through the halls of the Emperor’s Palace, mainly on the sixth floor where his office was. He had summoned the three judges within his plan to overthrow Vincent. As he would open his door of his office, he found Isaiah, Francis, and Levi all sitting down around the room. When he himself entered, all three of them turned to him. They looked to him with a nod of some sort. Hamut would then walk down the center, trail around the left side of his desk, and sit in his chair. He would scoot the chair in so that he can sit up straight. He then placed his arms on the desk, bent in right angles, his hands locked together, and head resting on them. His eyes looked to the judges and with those very same eyes he would motion them to sit down and so they did.
Lifting his head up just ever-so slightly, Hamut would talk. “I have gathered you three here this morning to give you updates on our plan.” He said, “Yesterday, I ventured to The Skycity of Bhujerba and met up with the Marquis and my grandson, Roman.” He continued, “I told him that he was needed to come to Archadia and rule as its Emperor.” He finished.
Though they were indeed shocked, they understood. Well, two of them were shocked. Levi was just happy things were proceeding. Ixion was the one who had a look of disbelief on his face again. “But Roman is of bastard status! Surely you don’t expect him to right out come as the Emperor. I would be much more suited for the role.” Ixion exclaimed.
Francis and Levi looked to Ixion. Francis with a look of ‘how dare you’ and Levi just smiled at Ixion. She liked the fire this boy had. However, Hamut was not happy with Ixion’s display of words. “Quiet boy! You know that due to your obligations and responsibilities as a Judge, you are not permitted to take the throne. If that were the case, then I would jump at the chance. “He stated lifting his head up all the way from his hands. “Besides, Roman’s bastard status will not be a factor. He has the Darcone blood flowing through his veins, despite whatever kind of slut his father — my son and your uncle — fucked to make his existence to happen.” Hamut said. Ixion didn’t like this one bit, but he didn’t have a choice in the matter.
Francis would be the next one to speak. “So, what did Roman say to this?” He asked.
Hamut smiled. “He accepted after some motivating on my part. He, of course, will have to move some things along, but in two days, we will have a new Emperor.” Hamut stated.
The reactions to that were indeed mixed, but they all knew this was for the better, so Ixion would stay silent, Francis just nodded as he approved, and Levi, well she would smile. She was planning something, but none of the judges knew what it was.
