Chapter 310 The Compromising Holy Emperor
Holy Residence.
Inside the meeting room.
"These are the proposals I hope to make, and I hope you will support me."
After the Holy Emperor finished explaining his previous thoughts and current insights, the meeting room fell into silence.
After the silence came up in uproar.
"Your Highness, your suggestion is good, but it's not very realistic."
"Yes, even if we are the same, the people under our rule will not be the same."
"And those cursed children are a potential danger!"
"Also... Your Majesty, those cursed children have been taken away by people from the outer district. I have reason to suspect that they are preparing to launch an attack on the safe zone, so I request that the outer district be cleansed."
"Reconsider."
"Clean up the outer area!"
The clamor was incessant; peaceful coexistence with the cursed child was impossible.
Moreover, the issue has now escalated from peaceful coexistence to a matter of personal safety.
It's definitely not safe for so many cursed children to gather together. Rather than that, it's better to strike first.
"you..."
Clean up the outer area?
The Holy Emperor's face kept changing.
Thinking of the man who came and went without a trace from the Holy Residence, the Holy Emperor felt a little melancholy.
Finally, she turned her gaze to Kikunojo Tendo beside her, hoping that her advisor could help her.
But... that's impossible.
On the surface, the Holy Emperor is in power, but he is just a figurehead. The only one with real authority is Tendou Kikunojo.
"Quiet! What kind of decorum is this, to be so rude and disorderly in front of His Highness?!"
Kikunojo Tendo, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines, spoke up.
The scene fell silent instantly.
Upon seeing this, even the most naive emperor sensed something. He was right; the people of this world had already decayed.
Looking at the mascot, Kikunojo Tendo said in a deep voice, "Although this may damage Your Highness's dignity, the people will not agree to this proposal, you will not agree, and I will not agree either."
"Prime Minister, may I know why?"
Kikunojo Tendo's gaze was deep. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Your Highness, the Cursed Children carry the Gastrea virus, which is always a hidden danger. The people are filled with fear and hostility towards them. If we forcibly promote peaceful coexistence with the Cursed Children, what will those whose family members died because of Gastrea think?"
"Moreover, someone reported that all the cursed children of Sakura have gathered in the outer district. With so many cursed children gathered in one place, what will the people in the safe zone think?"
Tendo Kikunojo's words shattered the Holy Emperor's illusions, one by one.
She bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with resentment.
Is there really no other way?
Tendou Kikunojo looked at the Holy Emperor and then slowly said, "It is good that Your Highness is kind-hearted, but Your Highness does not need to worry about these things. Our primary task now is to ensure the stability of the safe zone and the safety of the people."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Holy Emperor leaned back in his chair, his previous demeanor completely gone.
Tendou Kikunojo glanced at the Holy Emperor.
"Someone, escort His Highness back to his room to rest."
Two attendants stepped forward and respectfully helped the Holy Emperor to his feet.
The Holy Emperor stood up weakly, his steps unsteady.
She looked at Kikunojo Tendo, her eyes filled with disappointment and helplessness, yet she couldn't refute it.
As the Holy Emperor departed.
The meeting room fell silent.
After all, in their eyes, the Holy Emperor only needed to be a mascot.
Everyone took her idea as a joke.
After all, only a sage emperor like this can truly wield power.
With the Holy Emperor returning to his lounge, the real meeting was about to begin.
"Prime Minister, what should we do now? The IISO organization has suffered heavy losses because of the Cursed Children, and the number of Initiators cannot be replenished. Now the security of the safe zone is a problem."
"Yes, Your Excellency, all those promoters who went to the outer areas returned alone."
"That large castle in the outer area has become a threat!"
The people in the conference room were constantly talking.
Kikunojo Tendo listened quietly.
After a while, the noise subsided, and they all looked at Kikunojo Tendou, hoping he could offer a solution.
But Kikunojo Tendou remained silent.
After all... even IISO is like this, you can imagine how they are.
Kikunojo Tendo rubbed his temples.
"Let's leave it at that. Since they want the cursed child, then give it to them."
As for IISO, contact the hospital; the newborn girl will be quarantined for observation, and if she is a cursed child, she will be sent directly to them.
"Alright, meeting adjourned!"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
... ... ... ...
Outer area, castle.
Ye Xiao lay on the bed, with Erica, Liliana, and Saeko Busujima lying quietly beside him. The three of them had rosy complexions, clearly indicating that they had been nourished.
And outside.
The Yukinoshita sisters, with Hiratsuka Shizuka blushing at this moment.
They breathed a sigh of relief; it was finally over.
I never imagined Ye Xiao would do that kind of thing with them in broad daylight!!
So shameless.
But this is only Yukino Yukinoshita's idea.
Yukino and Shizuka looked at Yukino with a hint of resentment.
After all, there are too many wolves and not enough meat.
I finally managed to meet her, but this vain girl ruined it.
"Yukino~"
"My good student~"
Under the gaze of the two, Yukino Yukinoshita silently turned her head away.
If you're not in the right, you won't be assertive.
Of course...in that situation, soundproofing was on.
Otherwise, the innocent children would point to Ye Xiao's room and ask, "Big brother and big sister, what are you doing in here?"
Why is the older sister crying?
Hmm... my own good intentions.
Ye Xiao looked at his masterpiece and expressed his satisfaction.
A mere low-level demon, easily defeated.
At this moment, Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow; someone was calling him.
"It seems to be the Holy Emperor. Let's wait a moment while I wash up."
With that, Ye Xiao pried the three people's hands apart, got up, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
... ... ... ...
After being taken back to his room, the Holy Emperor sat blankly on the edge of the bed, the faces of those people in the conference room flashing before his eyes.
When the Cursed Child was mentioned, the disgust in their eyes was undisguised.
Perhaps... we really shouldn't have done it this way.
Recalling Ye Xiao from some time ago, the Holy Emperor sighed helplessly.
Even demons know how to protect children.
But I wanted to push them out.
Are people in this world truly beyond saving?
She was unwilling to give up so easily, but she didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the Holy Emperor remembered something.
He took the white card out from under the pillow.
Perhaps... he is right.
These people don't deserve to live a peaceful life.
At this moment, the Holy Emperor's heart began to waver.
Since that's the case... let the devil reason with these guys.
The Holy Emperor gripped the white card tightly, his gaze gradually hardening.
She got up and walked to the window, looking out at the bustling yet decaying city, and made a decision.
Owner of this card, please grant my request.
The card broke free from his hand and fell to the ground, suddenly bursting with a white light, and the symbolic magic circle representing Ye Xiao appeared.
