The Five: The Fight for the Imperial Throne
Chapter 36: The Plan to Go (4)

"The answer is, with my presence in this world I can find someone I have to look after and protect. And, that answer came right after I got to know you, Lea. Therefore I ask you once again, what is your existence in this world, Lea?" Ask Luca back.

"My existence in this world?" Ask Princess Lea back.

"Yes, what is your existence in this world, Lea." Luca repeated the question of Princess Lea.

"My existence in this world is that I have to protect everyone in this Empire, it is my duty as well as my existence in this world." Answer Princess Lea.

"What makes you so sure about that?"

"Because all the things in this Empire are already my duty which is the Princess of the Harvest Empire. I must become stronger so that I can protect everyone, I must be wiser than before. That's why I'll try my hardest to restore the peace they've taken from me." Princess Lea replied excitedly.

"True, then do you want to take revenge for all those who have died? And, after all that is done we will all strive to restore what should be yours, Lea. So don't worry and just give up, because I won't leave you for my own benefit, trust me, Lea." Luca comforted and encouraged the grieving Princess Lea.

"I won't give up, Luca, and thank you for comforting me." Princess Lea was excited again.

"alright. Ivy are you outside?" Ask Princess Lea.

"Yes, Princess. You called me?"

"Yes, come here. Are you right that Rena is dead?"

"Yes, Princess. But I'm not sure if it's true that Grand Duchess Yuuki's body or not." Ivy explained.

"Hmmm.... Is that so? Well tomorrow night we'll investigate together. Now you guys rest first, soon night comes it's good we increase our alertness to the surrounding." Princess Lea said.

"Okay, Princess." Say them both in unison.

"And one more thing, from now on our goal is to survive, so let's start by eliminating your habit by eliminating 'Mr Daughter' when you call me."

"Emmm... How about you guys call me 'Iana' to get rid of

suspicion of those around? And for you I've prepared a nickname that suits you."

"Luca from now on your name will change to 'Luke', Ivy your name will change to 'Vania' and for the others I will tell them later when they get here." Princess Lea said under their pseudonym.

"Alright, Le-I mean 'Iana', then do we need to change our appearance as well? Looks like people will suspect that they saw your striking appearance 'Iana'." Luca tried to give advice.

"Emmm... That's true too, well later I think about how to hide my hair. Now you guys rest first." Said Princess Lea while holding the end of her hair and walking away towards her room.

"Ah.... I didn't expect it to end up like this, yeah, I don't want to have to get help."

"Hmmm.... What if I ask Rudolf for help? Maybe he'll help me, I happen to miss him too, I haven't seen him for almost 10 years. It's like paa huh she's now?" Said Princess Lea while lying on her bed and stretching her right hand upwards as if she was grasping something.

Meanwhile in the Main Palace, the Palace of the Sun of Berkouli. Extremely bright moonlight and scattered stars filled the sky and illuminated the Harvest Empire that was filled with a sea of corpses, the blood that came out was now decorating the garden and the walls of the Palace like an uninhabited haunted palace. Then, a large-scale meeting was held right in the meeting room where the situation at that time was very concerning.

And, in that meeting the high-ranking nobles and had strong influence and support from Her Highness Princess Quinella such as Baron and Baroness Monique, Duchess Hildebrand, Marquess Glazer, Marquess Meligina as well as, The Viscounts and Viscountess Lawson Bates' families all attended an impromptu meeting held by Her Royal Highness Princess Quinella, now known as Queen Consort Implora and her husband Prince Michael now known as Emperor Implora.

Not only that, they also changed the name and title of the imperial family from the former 'Queen and Emperor' to 'Queen Consort Implora and Emperor Implora' because they felt that they had been freed from the shadows of the Emperor of the Harvest Empire that they hated, and even they had changed their own Empire's name to 'Glade Empire'.

"Well, without any more length, since we've all gathered here we'll just start this emergency meeting." Queen Consort Implora.

"Hows it? Did you catch the fugitives?" Ask Queen Consort Implora to her subordinates.

"That's..." Say the nobles while giving eye codes to each other.

"That's what? Quickly tell me !!" The Queen Consort Implora.

"That's.... We did manage to find some of them but for the time being we lost track of them, Your Majesty." Baron Monique's.

"PLACARD." A pretty loud slap hit Baron Monique's handsome face.

"Basic is useless!! Why would I give you enough support and money if you can't do well!!!

"You guys are even worse than Vettel and the previous Emperor!!" Meaning to his subordinates

"Nella, relax. Did you go like this because you couldn't kill your niece? Calm down, I promise that if I meet him I will kill him immediately and bring his head to you, so be calm, I beg you." Please Emperor Implora to his wife, Queen Consort Implora.

"Mother, relax!!!" Resolute Princess Ellie who immediately made the Queen Consort Implora helpless.

"But-but... Leah, what about Leah? He is still wandering around this Empire, I am not calm that he and his friends have not been caught. I want to see him helplessly tormented, and beg our forgiveness." Queen Consort Implora.

"If that's what you want, I have a pretty good idea that will make you happy."

"really? What brilliant idea is that, honey?" Ask Queen Consort Implora.

"Yes, we just need to lure him with the best bait we've prepared. I'm sure when he bites his bait he'll never let go for a lifetime." Said Princess Ellie.

"But how are we gonna catch him?" Queen Consort Implora asked.

"Mom will know as soon as morning comes."

"Servant, take my mother to her room and immediately call the palace doctor right now, it seems like Your Majesty is experiencing quite severe stress." Pinta Princess Ellie.

"Okay, Princess."

"Your Majesty, please come this way." Said the maid while leading Queen Consort Implora to her room.

"Well, this meeting I'll take over." Said Emperor Implora restarting the pending meeting.

After that, the meeting went as well as it should.

"Okay, our first meeting of the day is over. Thank you for all of your hard work." Said Emperor Implora to his subordinates.

"Before you leave I want to ask you for help first. Spread the rumors that say 'That Her Majesty Queen Consort Implora and Emperor Implora will carry out the execution of the previous Emperor and his subordinates two days daei now in the capital square and in the evening we will have a feast and announce that The Glade Empire will include the new emperors, Her Majesty Queen Consort Implora, Quinella Implora Glade Florida and Emperor Implora, Michael Jordan Henderson Implora.' I want you to spread that rumor to the end of this Empire's territory, don't miss a single one." Pinta Lord Princess Ellie to her subordinates.

"Dead execution? Is he sure about that?" The whispers of the nobles were agitated.

"Ekhem. Did you underestimate my decision?"

"No, Your Honor, we do not at all underestimate your decision." Viscount Lawson Bates.

"Then quickly spread the rumor now. Otherwise you'd know it wasn't the end." Princess Ellie said with an evil smile.

"B-well, Princess." Say them all and leave the meeting room.

"Dead execution? Isn't that too much for someone who's about to die? And even more so in public, what will the people say?" Ask the Emperor Implora.

"Dad, don't worry, because if we want to catch a large prey then we will need a large enough bait as well. Moreover this is a pretty good thing for us to know Lea's weakness and we can use her as the 'Doll Emperor' later." It was clear to her father that Princess Ellie.

Meanwhile in the Black Forest Forest was not far from Theodore Roosevelt....

"So, how did you get here?" Ian asked his two best friends.

"Yes, I and my parents were having tea in the garden, but suddenly the Duchess of Hildebrand, the Marquess of Glazer, and Viscount Lawson Bates came with the head of our best Vice Commander soldier, Mickey Rourke. Seeing that my father immediately lost his temper and immediately attacked the three of them, and we were forced to move to a safe place."

"But who would have thought Viscountess Lawson Bates was hand-in-hand in that battle, my mother and I fought him and ended the series, but because of Viscountess Lawson Bates' cunning nature, she stabbed my mother in the heart from behind. I saw him trying to fight back but the difference in our strength was far away, so I was forced to run away. I who run away with nothing can only rely on my luck until I am here with you."

"Yes, as you know, Her Highness Princess Quinella had indeed planned that so she sent some of her minions to kill us who were the emperor's faction." Terraria.

"Then, what about your parents?"

"Okay, I don't know. It's possible that he's been captured or brutally murdered by Her Royal Highness Princess Quinella." Terraria said sadly.

Young Duke Verita who heard that also immediately elbowed the back of Ian who was injured so he felt a lot of pain.

"What the fuck?! Don't you know that it hurts so much?" Whisper Ian kelp while enduring his pain.

"Is it worth what Terra has felt?"

Hearing that Ian realized and immediately apologized to Terraria. Terra, who was still feeling sad at that time, reluctantly forgave Ian's sassy attitude earlier. Like a true Princess, Terra forgives Ian without resentment or hatred for her best friend.

"Thank you, Terra. I promise I won't do it again." Ian Said.
