Everyone who saw it seemed to act crazy, especially admiral Mahaa who only intended to joke, but the emperor actually did. Besides, Turse who saw him was really curious, why did Zeno seem to be able to control nature? Like growing a tree quickly, even a tree that is very unnatural because of its size dozens of times that of ordinary trees.
What made him even more surprised, when he remembered that the emperor asked him to search for an acre of land to create a forest that stood on ice. Temporary forest, at least enough wood to make dozens of warships to fight with Mare enbarum. Because Turse himself knew, that the average woody trees could not match the icy climate.
“Good emperor, I beg to resign.” Nefd and the others slightly bowed their heads while touching his chest, turned around and left them.
Likewise, others pay to resign because they will carry out their respective duties. With the exception of Aure who was still standing and smiling towards Zeno.
“What's Aure?” Zeno glanced back for a bit, leveling the crushed ice surface due to the roots of the tree he had forcibly lifted.
“Not brother, but I want to talk for a minute.”
“How many times have I told you not to call me brother. Because your age is more or less the same as my brother, Yuna.” Zeno said without expression.
“Alright, emperor only. While walking, it doesn't matter right?” Ask Aure.
Zeno nodded and walked with Aure beside him. A few seconds, Aure did not speak making Zeno glance to the side, which turned out Aure looked down as if she was sad.
“I'm not a descendant of Fang or the Aurrora family that no longer exists. But why did the emperor make me an imperial princess?”
“What's really why? Aren't you also grandma's adopted granddaughter, so we're cousins. Let's just say, you're the core family of this empire that is still a lineage with me, so you're an imperial princess. Besides, you're basically also a princess from Northern. Moreover, the higher-ups of Nefd also do not mind.” Zeno tried to explain.
Aure sighed very lazily, “At least give me a post that has an important job. Like Turse being your right hand.”
“I will give you new important jobs and positions after the war is over. Therefore, play around as you please with Nora and Selena as well. You know, after the war was over, the two of them didn't seem to be able to play around anymore.” Zeno smiled slightly as he quickly left Aure.
Zeno returned to his room, sitting at a desk with a vase of ice flowers that bloomed so beautifully. He sighed repeatedly until he made a cold dew come out of his mouth. Being an emperor turned out to be a very troublesome thing, moreover he had to set up one territory that he thought was very troublesome.
He also thought it was only a week after he was appointed, not a few weeks later, a few months later or a few more years. To be sure, it was quite exhausting for a teenager his age. It felt like he wanted to be free, adventure casually without any restraint.
On the sidelines he let go of his fatigue, Turse opened the door of the room which made Zeno instantly sit up straight and stare so cynically at Turse.
“Turse, at least knock on the door if you want to get into my room. Besides, why don't you do what I tell you.”
“I'm sorry emperor, have you forgotten that I've been a dozen years in this continent?” Turse said in a seductive voice. It seemed that he had also walked to the back of Zeno's chair and touched both of his shoulders. “Northeast, a few miles before on the coast where the fleet of ships. You should have seen it. Or, maybe because you're moving too fast, so don't see it.” Turse said softly as he brought his lips closer to Zeno's ears.
“Turse stop teasing me. I've said we're not grown-ups.” Zeno chuckled in annoyance before continuing his words, “But, what you said is true, a few miles from where I laid the wood there is an empty land that is nothing.”
Turse raised his head, he then walked to the side of Zeno's workbench while folding both his hands and placing his head on it. Then, he looked at Zeno with a sweet smile.
Zeno who saw that, could only touch her head while shaking her head, she softly said, “I think that you are a quiet woman and do not talk too much. Besides, I also did not expect that becoming emperor had such a heavy ordeal.”
“You are really very funny when your cheeks are reddened emperor.”
“Turse, why were you so brave when I became emperor? at least, wait for us to grow up you understand?” Zeno turned towards Turse.
“What do you promise?” Turse asked with a bit of pleasure.
“No.” Zeno answered briefly.
Turse sighed in annoyance, his face also turning back in the absence of an expression at all like Zeno. Then, he pulled up the seat that was behind him and said, “Alright I'm serious, this time I want to discuss something with you”
Zeno did not say more, he looked at Turse as he waited for him to speak to discuss something that seemed to be very important. Thus, he also looked at Turse seriously as well.
“Do I need to increase the number of archers? It seems like 150,000 archers are very lacking to participate in the attack of Mare Embarum.”
“If you can, then please. However, I recommend to yes.” Zeno nodded.
“Lantas who will help you with your work later?”
“Selena? Nora's? Or maybe even both, even if need be I will ask Aure to help me.”
“I suggest to ask Selena or Aure. Because Nora was not far from her childish nature. What I fear is precisely your task will not be completed.” Turse.
Zeno rolled his eyeballs before answering what Turse said, “If I say that to Nora, then Nora will also get rid of you just as you got rid of her. So, I will ask for help to one of them according to what they can.”
“What can Nora do?” Turse smiled disdainfully.
“You here, go and do your duty to improve the archer and his abilities as well. I'll give you time in a month, before we leave for Mare enbarum.” Zeno swept his hand forward as if beckoning Turse to leave.
“As you command, emperor.” Turse bent his body while touching his chest to retreat before he turned around. However, while he was in the doorway, he slightly glanced towards Zeno and smiled, “May you not miss me.”
“Tell like that one more time then I will forbid you to return.” Zeno replied lazily.
