Chapter 157

Subsequent on the agenda. I heard there is just one candidate who put their identify ahead for the following Minister of Magic.

Within the grand council chamber the place the prime minister and ministers of every division gathered, the sound of papers being flipped was heard concurrently. There have been loads of letters of help for Ian from the mages, and simply as many requests urging them to rush for the stabilization of the Ministry of Magic. The prime minister flippantly grasped his employees and regarded round.

Moreover, there’s a report that Viscount Ian Hielos tribute has been paid in full.

There appears to be no challenge together with his {qualifications}.

Lets simply hear the 2 opinions, for and in opposition to.

Is there something to oppose? We cant hold the minister place vacant, and above all, the help from the mages can be excellent.

Ahem, the ministers cleared their throats and studied every others reactions. In a scenario the place Mariv and Gales forces had been intertwined, either side needed Ians inauguration. They couldnt reveal their true emotions, so they simply watched. A really small minority, however Dilainas shut associates additionally added their tacit settlement via silence.

Faucet faucet!

Alright. In that case, lets proceed immediately. These in favor of Viscount Ian Hielos inauguration as Minister of Magic, please elevate your palms.

Swish.

Fingers slowly going up. The prime minister frowned with a barely shocked look. No matter this facet or that facet, didnt everybody solid a vote in favor? Marivs facet and Gales facet checked out one another suspiciously and remained silent.

No opposing votes?

It appears there are none.

That is unprecedented. Passing the grand council with out a single opposing vote. Is that this actually right? If anybody made a mistake, please converse up now.

Nevertheless, everybody maintained their stance in silence. They believed that they supported Ian changing into the Minister of Magic, and if that’s the case, it might undoubtedly assist the lord they served.

The prime minister set free a brief exclamation, Huh, and tapped his employees.

Faucet faucet faucet!

I’ll move the agenda for Viscount Ian Hielos inauguration as Minister of Magic. It will likely be delivered to His Majesty the Emperor within the afternoon, and contemplating the gravity of the matter, we’ll proceed to announce it as rapidly as potential.

Agreed.

No objections.

The ministers united their intentions with one coronary heart. The extra they mulled over it, the extra outstanding it was, wasnt it?The supply of this content material no/v(el)bi((n))

It was none aside from the place of minister. Irrespective of how a lot the Ministry of Magic was a division centered on capacity, it hadnt been lengthy since Ian entered the palace via the New Years get together. It was simply the time when the snow was about to soften and spring was coming

Many of the ministers right here have been serving for 10 years, no. Practically 20 years.

In some ways, he was writing a brand new historical past. Following the primary noble mage, the youngest minister, and now the primary unanimous inauguration with out opposition.

The ministers unknowingly shook their heads and lowered their gazes to the paperwork. It was clear {that a} actually formidable rising star was showing within the Imperial Palace.

***

Screech!

Ian, who was filling out paperwork, flinched. Beric, who was mendacity on the couch, poked his head out, and on the identical time, the members of the Mana Operations Division additionally stopped what they had been doing and circled.

Tommy, panting with an excited expression on the door.

Everybody sensibly understood the that means and slowly stood up.

Is it right here?

It, its right here! No, it has arrived! The golden carriage!

Sure! That is it! Wow, its been some time since Ive seen the higher-ups work so rapidly. Good, good. Congratulations, Minister Ian.

Nakina clenched her fists and shouted with pleasure. Beric additionally danced merrily with an unknown dance behind Ian, and Hale changed his greeting with a handshake.

Congratulations.

Its all due to everybody. Thanks all.

As Ian went outdoors, mages who had heard the information had already gathered in small teams. They expressed their respect with silent bows and parted methods for Ian as if the ocean was splitting.

Viscount Ian Hielo, kneel earlier than the phrases of His Majesty the Emperor.

The Ministers first directive. And entry to categorized paperwork. This might breathe new life into the stalled investigation of the <Wesleigh Incident>.

Additionally, I do know the division closest to the Ministers Workplace is the Magic Assist Division.

Thats right.

Change workplaces with them.

This meant that because the minister modified, the road of energy within the division additionally modified. Everybody had anticipated it, so the Magic Assist Division had already packed their belongings prematurely. Maybe they had been coming this fashion now with their baggage.

Come on, lets get transferring. Theres loads to do.

Hale flicked his fingers whereas placing out his cigarette. With the inauguration of the brand new minister, the Ministry of Magic constructing was bustling and chaotic all day lengthy. It solely barely regained stability late within the afternoon.

Screech! Thud!

Final one!

Yeah. Good job.

Beric rotated his shoulders and put down the field. It was packed tightly all over the place, with no room to step. Nevertheless, he crammed himself onto the couch and curled up.

Wow. I dont learn about the remainder, however that Wesleigh man appears to have had good style. The couch is de facto gentle and fluffy.

Rustle.

Ian chuckled and slowly flipped via the paperwork. It will take fairly a while to verify every part. So for now, it was environment friendly to selectively confirm the knowledge.

Ah, that is

<The Prophecy of the 4th Prince Arsen and the fifth Prince Jin>

He seen an attention grabbing title within the hole. Dilaina had stated. As soon as you recognize the reality, you possibly can by no means return. Ian hesitated for a second however then flipped via the paperwork with out hesitation.

-Round three within the morning on the 00th day of the 00th month below the complete moon. The labor pains of Consort Dilaina started. Quickly, all of the lights within the palace had been turned on, and His Majesty the Emperor additionally coughed and headed to the birthing room.

It was an in depth report written within the type of a biography. It primarily consisted of testimonies from the midwife and physician who assisted with the childbirth on the time.

-The labor pains continued, however there was no signal of the newborn popping out, so Dilaina repeatedly misplaced and regained consciousness. Round daybreak, on the docs insistence, Dilainas stomach was lastly minimize open.

?

-On the identical time, a prophecy was given. The one born later will kill the one born first., If the one closest to the throne dies, the imperial lineage will likely be severed.

Ian frowned. The previous prophecy was thought to be an open secret, however he had by no means heard of the latter.

If the one closest to the throne dies, the imperial lineage will likely be severed?

So that is why Arsen appears to be overprotected.

The imperial lineage.

It was a very ambiguous time period.

If it referred to the imperial surname, Verocion had continued till the time of Emperor Ian, and if it meant bloodline, hadnt it already develop into faint over the previous 100 years via repeated collateral descendants? He himself was an emperor who had come from outdoors.

-When the stomach was minimize open, the reason for the troublesome delivery was revealed. One baby was greedy the neck of the opposite, so the physician pulled out the grasped baby first and cleared its airway. The one who attacked the older brother was named Arsen, and the opposite was bestowed the identify Jin.

Ian chewed on that sentence and pictured the scenario. From the second of delivery, he was a sinner. And so he grew up as a sinner.

Oh, that is

Why? Is there one thing fascinating?

Beric spoke, however Ian was too centered to listen to. He continued flipping via the paperwork, approaching the reality of the palace.

Swish.

And shortly, the report that Wesleigh was presumed to have obtained. Concerning the forbidden necromancy.

The amount is certainly fairly substantial.

Iaaaan. Is there something fascinating, I requested.

Ah, sure. Thats proper.

At Berics whining, Ian flippantly tapped the paperwork. Which means that it was about to get fascinating any longer.
