Multiverse Conquest: Rise of the Saiyan Empire

Chapter 35: The Supreme Council

The Imperial Palace was in a festive mood, tears and snot all over the place. Sound of scolding could also be heard. Seeing hatred being resolved, grudges disappearing. People moving froward. The Emperor had a warm smile on.

Suddenly remembering a certain person.The Emperor slowly leaned on his throne asking Shahrazad:

"Is Lina still locked up in her room?"

The Empress sighed:

-YesNo matter what I tell her, she refuses to get out.

He had a pained gaze. Shahrazad leaned against him:

-If you could just tell me what happened between you too

Marek looked in the air for a long time:

-Nothing did happen between us. She is your sister, if she wants to tell you what's wrong, she will.

Shahrazad finally spoke the words she was keeping in her heart:

-I asked her. She saidIt's because of youThat you ruined everything.

The pain on his face only continued to grow, as he smiled in self-derision:

-Then you probably know what happened by now. She didn't want me to rule over her. She refused to accept me as her Emperor. In fact, I always knew she resented me.

Shahrazad narrowed her eyes, knowing his words were true. The disdain she had towards him was never hidden. He then revealed it:

-She sold the country our Ancestors built, just to not see me sit on this throne. She was the mastermind behind everything. Father relied on her way too much. She was practically the one ruling this Empire.

Shahrazad's eyes widened, then anger invaded her heart:

-It was her faultAll that suffering.

Marek tilted his head:

-If an Empire falls, it's always the fault of the Emperor. Having poor judgement, not understanding the difference between interst and loyalty. An incompetent ruler only deserves betrayal. Lina is only the spark, Combrosia was rotten for centuries.

Shahrazad still clenched her fists:

"But still, she betrayed Elder Sister Kosem, Aunt Devran and me."

He enrobed her little fist in his hand as he smiled:

"You would be safe when she swears allegiance to the Empire, Kosem too and Mother would be liberated from an Emperor she stopped loving for a long time. The only ones she wanted dead was Father and me."

She could feel his strong hands shaking slightly as he tried to comfort her.

"Your majesty, do you think I don't know the affection and admiration you held all your life for herYetShe"

He lifted her chin a bright smile on his face:

"My Empress, do not steel your heart for my sake. Love your sister, cherish her, be her family. If she wants to kill me. Let her come. There is no dagger that can take your man's life."

The Emperor narrowed his eyes as he noticed his First Vizir was hearing his conversation. He didn't stop him.

It is his duty after all to understand his Emperor's weaknesses.

A little farther, a woman sitting in bliss with her newfound sister had her gaze on the monarch's pained face.

"Big Sister, is there anything on your mind?"

Cornelia smiled warmly to her sister as she hugged her for the hundredth time:

"No, all is good."

Euphie still let her in her arms. Cornelia spoke:

"So he made all these people became citizens of the Empire. I am happy for you.

-His majesty has kind heart but a fierce temper.

-Kind heart, huh."

Euphie looked at her sister's wondering face:

"So what are you going to doAre you going back to Britania?"

She tilted her head:

"NoI don't know. But for now, I will stay here with you and Nunally."

She lightly closed her eyes. In her mind, images of his caring eyes, of his prideful yet just demeanor appeared. She smiled lightly:

" I also want to see what kind of Empire he will build."

Euphemia had a bewildered face as her hand were on her mouth:

"I will be rooting for you, Cornelia-nee san.

-What did you say?

-No-Nothing!!"

Back at our Emperor. Shahrazad spoke:

"Are you sure you don't want to invoke the council today?

-No, today is for family. Let them enjoy it.

Imperial Palace, Supreme Council.

The night of tears and reunion had passed. Today was the second reunion of the Supreme Council.

Emperor: Marek Vega

First Empress: Shahrazad Vega

First Vizir: Lelouch Vi Britania

First Lady: C.C

Second Vizir: Euphemia Vi Britania

Third Vizir: Schneizel El Britania

A big Round Table was in place presided by the Emperor himself.

"Here are all the people, I judge competent enough to rule my Empire with me. I hope you will uphold the judgement I made today."

"""""Yes, Your Majesty!"""""

He nodded, a serious face on, but a happy heart looking at those elites besides him, he felt that he could finally start his projects.

Blue Screens started appearing in front of everyone's eyes. Shahrazad began briefing everyone about the different words. Everyone has solemn expressions as they analyzed each information, about each world.

'One piece, Dragon Ball, Death Note, Akame Ga Kill, Kingdom, DXD, Bleach, Gintama, Type-Moon, Reverend Insanity, Overgeared, Solo Leveling'

Each world has it's particularities, it's own subtilities, it's own lore. Even for the excellent members of the council this was a significant challenge. Lelouch and Schneizel had scheming smiles as they processed the incoming information. Euphemia had a curious face:

"The Empire in the World codename 'Akame ga Kill' seems fairly easy to be taken under control. Those weapons named Teigu seem interesting too. Making normal people fairly strong.

Lelouch immediately responded:

-You are only bringing them up because you dislike their rulers.

-And what's the problem with that? We get an Empire and we destroy those corrupted pigs!

The Emperor lightly laughed:

-Don't worry their time will come. When we will build our two citadels we can analyze and reconstruct much more Teigu for the army. But still the most important person to take out from there is

Schneizel smiled:

"General Esdeath. She is a difficult one to tame."

Lelouch snickered:

"On contrary, I think it would be fairly easy. This woman is maybe cruel, but she is brutaly honest with herself and her beliefs. If she thinks she can act as she wants because she is the strongest. She will immediately bow down before someone infinitely stronger than her. Like she said"

Euphemia had a hint of anger in her tone:

"The Weak can't decide it's destiny. So when she is strong she will act like the strong and when she will weak she will accept her fate as the Weak. Such a wretched world view."

Schneizel nodded:

"Indeed. Forgive my mistake. I am stuck to seeing things from my perspective. She will be a Great Wild Dog to throw to those who crossed our Empire."

The Emperor had an approving expression on his face.

'This is exactly what I thought. It's on me to put on a good show for her.'

Schneizel continued:

"I am actually more interested in the Magic Guild World. All the King and Royalty are obviously only there for show.

Lelouch nodded:

"The whole power over the Continent seem in the hand of the Ishgar Magic Council, but the Fiore Guilds seem to hold their own by virtue of how powerful there are. Especially the Fairy Tail Guild."

Schneizel had his hand on his chin:

"In this case the easiest way would be to infiltrate the Magic Council to gain a good foothold on--."

The Emperor had a loving smile on his face as he stopped them :

"I have my own projects for this specific World.

-Oh! My~

The Empress responded:

"-It seems that our Family will grow once more~I always wanted to have little sisters You are insatiable, your majesty~"

Marek only smiled silently.

It was Lelouch's turn to suggest a world:

"To think there is a version that weird of Tokyo or Edo isn't it? They are obviously obligated into servitude by the Tendoshu. If we could get rid of Sada Sada and Nobu Nobu, we could offer Shige Shige protection from the Tendoshu in exchange of his Loyality, making them a servant state."

Schneizel:

"We could then slowly fight it out with the Tendoshu and obtain their technology. Having the Shinsengumi under our orders would be a great benefit and getting the Joui to adhere too, would be perfect. But"

Lelouch titled his head in exasperation:

"There is absolutely no way to predict those people reaction. Their personality is completely inconsistent!"

The Emperor spoke:

"We could use the way Shige Shige did"

Euphie smiled:

"Becoming their friends. No matter how annoying they are."

And the conversation continued:

"The Solo Leveling World is a waste of resources. Fighting for normal lands, and getting rebooted each time we win. No Thanks!"

Schneizel had a scheming smile:

"There is maybe an interesting way to handle the Paradise Island."

Lelouch:

"The Gu World is interesting but way too dangerous, our loss may exceed our more wild expectations. All the People there are Master Strategists, Million Old Schemers. Impossible to have a read on them. I propose to postpone it until our advantage is vehement enough"

Euphemia:

"We need to be patient with the Pirate World. The Right opportunity to strike will inevitably come."

They continued to discuss different projects as The Supreme Council was working at full regime!

Until C.C who have been silent the whole time finally spoke:

"Stop going on aimlessly. You three already had the same world in mind since the Beginning."

Lelouch, Schneizel and Marek had the same deep smile as they announced:

"""Of courseThe Shinobi World."""
