Chapter 38: First session(2)
All eyes in the grand chamber were fixed upon her, their collective gaze following her every move with attention. Each step she took reverberated through the silence of the hall, echoing off the polished marble floors and ascending to the ears of those seated in the front rows.
Accompanying Valeria were the stoic figures of the imperial guards, standing both at her side and that the young emperor.
As Valeria approached her son, she paused,and with grace, she took her seat upon the smaller throne positioned slightly behind and to the side of the emperor's, an acknowledgment of her temporary role as regent.
Mesha, the young emperor, cast a nervous glance in her direction,anxiousness was in his gaze as he felt the stare of hundreds of people on him alone
For a fleeting moment, mother and son shared a silent exchange,before Valeria stared ahead. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
He must learn on his own, was the thought that came to her head , no one likes an indecesive ruler,and there would be no way that his son would be one.
As the smell of the herbs burnt the previous week lingered towards her nose,she decided to commence the first session. She raised her hand, with the same gravitas one would have when declaring a charge towards the eneme and finally brought it down.
Immediately after she did so , someone stood up from the back rows ,and walked out of his seat down the stairs.He was old, his head was bald, his face filled with wrinkles and he shivered so much that the empress feared that a small wind would blow his ones away like dust.
The man walked down using a cane, as two slaves stood at his side. His cane thundered on the stony ground with each step. After the fourth, he stopped a bit to breath and then started walking again.
A somber silence enveloped the chamber as her words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of responsibility and the gravity of the moment. "My heart aches at the prospect of discord among us. However, in the spirit of mercy and reconciliation, my dear son, our reigning emperor, has extended a gracious invitation to his elder brothers,prince Mavius and prince Maesinius to reach the capitle , promising that no harm will come to them.."
Her voice softened, infused with a glimmer of hope. "They are called forth to Romelia, where they may pledge their allegiance to the rightful emperor and mend the fractures that threaten to divide our noble house. In return for their loyalty, they shall be granted pardon for past transgressions and bestowed with lands as a testament to the unity and strength of our empire."
As she finished so she sat once again, and the nobles saw it their moment to express their opinions.Which obvioulsy were all of agreement, who would be as so dumb as to deny that in front of the emperor and his regent?
''The emperor's mercy know no bound''
''Long live the emperor, may the Gods bless him ''
''Shame on Prince Mesha and Maesinius , may the gods direct them to justice''
As the assembled nobles erupted into applause at her proclamation, she watched Mesha intently, her eyes tracing the contours of his face as he absorbed the adulation of the crowd. There was a subtle softening in her features, a fleeting smile tugging at the corners of her lips, as she observed the scene .He liked the cheers, that was not good, an emperor should never be influenced by the opinion of rabbits.Eagles devour them, not lean their ears to them.
Meanwhile, Mesha stood at the center of attention, his young eyes wide with wonder and awe. His gaze swept across the sea of faces, as he just had his first proper taste of the power that men use over other men.
And so under the jubilant cheer made by the nobles, the first session of the council of the two hundred finally started. Which had as its only outcome , the choice of the messenger to send to the two princes.
