ERYX'S POV
"Your Majesty, we cannot postpone the wife selection just because one of the candidates is sick," Minister Joseph said, his tone a little demanding. I hate it.
"It's not just one candidate, Minister Joseph. The Royal Mother, the Empress Dowager, is also sick. I believe I'm not qualified to judge this selection alone." I replied. I'm now sitting on my throne facing all the ministers, dukes, grand dukes and other royalties inside the Imperial Palace. They are complaining about the sudden notice I have released. I want to postpone the wife selection as it would be unfair if Valeraine isn't joining.
Some of them agreed on my answer and as expected a lot of them disagreed on it. It's nothing new.
"But according to the law of our state, Your Majesty, your words are more powerful and filial than the Empress Consort. She can just support you but the final words are still going to be you." Minister Allister stated.
