On May 5th, the emperor held the second cabinet meeting at Conrad Hall of the Lucio Imperial Palace. It was the second cabinet meeting, but it was the first time that all the cabinet members attended. In other words, the emperor could not govern properly for five months from the beginning of the year. Without the scandal involving his fiancee, the cabinet meeting would have been probably been postponed indefinitely.
Jed cursed them with four-letter words when he saw the letters of Duke Hubble and Ober who belatedly showed their intention to attend the cabinet meeting. Colin kept silent with a bitter look, and Kloud hardly commented. Everyone seemed to think they were mean.
But Eckart had been waiting for the opening of the full cabinet meeting more than anyone else.
"The emperor has arrived!"
The chief chamberlain announced the emperor's arrival loudly.
The cabinet members sitting on both sides of the long golden table stood up to express their due manners.
