Dragon Monarch System

All the elders including Seraphine were staring at Amelia in a mix of shock and disbelief. They had never seen the Empress like this. The current Amelia looked like she wouldn't hesitate to end their lives if they were not careful with what they said.

Among everyone in this room, Seraphine was the most shocked person. As her little sister, she had never seen her big sister lose her calm like this. She always thought that her sister Amelia was someone who was extremely kind and was always cool. The number of times that she had seen her sister lose come was very few in all the centuries that they spent living together.

'Things are not going according to the plan.' Seraphine felt fear and also frustration. Even though all of the elders were peak 5th-order cultivators including herself, Seraphine knew in her heart very well that even if all of them combined their powers it still wouldn't be enough to defeat her sister.

Not to mention the fact that they can't just attack the Empress. Not without a valid reason.

Amelia coldly looked at everyone in the room. Facing the Empress, even Seraphine had to lower her head.

"Shut Up!!!!!" Amelia has been wanting to say these two words to the elders and to her sister for a long time. She was fed up of everyone. She was fed up with the constant nagging from the elders. She was fed up with the constant pressure that everyone around her was giving.

And now she had enough. She was the Empress. At that moment, Amelia felt that she had been too soft on these Elders and on her sister. If she had been a little bit strict, then things never would have come to this point. She was regretting it.

"I am the Empress of the Celestial Terrain. And your job is to make my work easy. If you can't do that, then get out of this room." Amelia said in a cold tone. Her cold tone sent shivers down everyone's spine. Even Seraphine's face became pale.

Amelia looked at everyone's faces and waited to see if anyone wanted to get out. Of course, no one wanted to go out. No one was going out of this room. Every elder in this meeting room dearly loved the position and power that they had found here. No one was going to willingly surrender their power.

"When I have decided on something, my decision is absolute. My decision is final. When the Empress of this Empire decides to do something, the elders should just their mouth and obey the Empress."

Amelia again looked around the room and then said in a stern tone. "The engagement will be officially announced two weeks from now. And I don't want to hear any complaints from any of you. If I do hear any complaints from any of you or if any of you try to give me any advice on this matter, you will be removed from your job. There are countless others who are equally if not more suitable for this job and they can do their job while keeping their mouth shut."

Amelia calmed down a little bit. Today's event was a severing point. Amelia had lost all of her trust in these elders. Amelia was even more disappointed at her own blood sister.

"I am really disappointed in you." Saying these words Amelia left the meeting room. Amelia didn't even look at Seraphine as she left the room.

Once Amelia left the room, everyone sat down. Their faces still looked pale. They have never seen the Empress looking this angry before. By 'Before', it was not just a few years or a few decades but almost a thousand years.

However, unlike others, Seraphine looked much calmer than before. She was still standing. She had lowered her head. Although she didn't show it in front of Amelia when Amelia said those words to her, Seraphine didn't feel any bitterness or any sadness but rather she felt her whole body, mind, and soul trembling in Anger and only anger.

Right now, Seraphine was clenching her fists so tightly her knuckles had turned white. Her arms were shaking.

"What was really a stupid move?" One of the Elders commented.

"Yeah. I think we were too direct with our words. Our approach should have been more indirect." Another Elder agreed.

"Elder Seraphine, what do you think about this?" Asked another Elder who was also trying to include Seraphine in the conversation and know what she thought of this entire matter.

"Shut up!!!!"

Seraphine roared in a loud tone. Some of the Elders were startled but the room immediately became quiet.

Scene change_____

As Amelia walked away from the meeting room, she finally felt relaxed. Amelia was someone who almost never lost her calm or snapped at anyone.

'It seems I have been building up a lot of stress.' Although Amelia never told Riya, her daughter's decision to be with Aditya had put a lot of pressure on her the last few months. Especially the 10 elders were not gentle with their words.

And today she had enough of this and finally lost her mind. She never thought that she would scream at the elders. She also began to feel bad for saying that last sentence to her sister.

'Now this is going to make our relationship awkward and strained.' Amelia thought in her mind.

While thinking about all these, Amelia had walked in front of a large pond without even realizing it. The pond water was crystal clear. The whole place was surrounded by large and tall trees. Since Elves loved nature, the whole Land of Elves could be considered a continent of Forests and Jungles.

"Aunty, you don't look good. If you want to talk then I can listen." Suddenly hearing Aditya's deep tone out of nowhere had startled the Elven Empress.

Amelia put her hand on her chest and took a deep breath as she tried to calm down. "Don't scare me like that." She said with a pouting face.

Seeing this Aditya was speechless. Why she was acting like a girl? Aditya certainly didn't have the courage to ask such a question. But he had to admit that she looked really cute when she pouted. Of course, he never was going to say it to her or anyone.

Aditya was sitting on a wooden bench and was reading a book. Seeing Amelia, he had closed the book.

Seeing Aditya here, Amelia became curious and wondered where her daughter was. She thought her Daughter was going to stay with Riya all of the time.

"What are you doing here?" Amelia asked as she sat down next to Aditya. There was still some distance between them. She sat on the other side of the wooden bench.

"Nothing. While walking around, I found this place. I decided to read a book since I had nothing else to do." The weather was very nice.

Aditya was reading one of the books that Amber had gifted him on his birthday. Till now, he didn't get any free time to read the books that she gave him.

Aditya could have not read these books, no one would have said anything to him. But knowing the knowledge that was inside these books, Aditya simply couldn't resist. Before he was busy with the girls and with his duties as the Emperor but currently he was on a vacation and had a lot of free time in his hand. So why not increase his knowledge?

"Where is Riya?" Asked Amelia while taking a glance at the book that Aditya was reading. The book that he was reading was named 'Chronicles of Elarian Might'.

"A few hundred people were waiting outside of the Palace. Riya is using her powers to heal them." Aditya was very surprised when he saw those few hundred elves standing outside of the Palace early in the morning. All of these people had traveled very long distances just to see the Goddess of Nature and receive her divine healing.

Some of the people wanted to heal their arms or legs or their eyes or other injured body parts or permanently damaged parts of the body. There were also some who wanted Riya to cure them of their illness that was killing them from inside. The people that were waiting outside of her house were not just elves but also humans and from other races who had traveled to this Continent just in the hopes of seeing the Goddess of Nature.

Hearing his words, Amelia wasn't that surprised. After all, before her daughter left to live with Aditya, this used to be a regular thing.

"I see." Somehow hearing this gave her a sense of calmness and peace. Aditya noticed that Amelia's posture had become much more relaxed. She was staring at the pond in silence.

"Aunty, you did the right thing." Amelia widened her eyes and looked at Aditya in surprise.

"You know, Aditya, you're becoming more and more mysterious." She wondered how did Aditya know what happened in the meeting.

"What should I do now?" Amelia looked to Aditya, feeling that he was more than capable of offering the advice she desperately needed at the moment.

something, but Aditya raised his hand slightly, asking for a moment to fully express himself. Understanding his intent, Amelia nodded and turned her gaze back to the tranquil lake before them, allowing him to continue.

"You're an even kinder person than Riya is," he said slowly, choosing his words carefully. "Now, being kind is a good thing. It's a great thing, actually. But sometimes, that goodness can turn into a problem, especially when you're too good-hearted."

"You might be wondering what I mean by 'too good-hearted,'" he continued, pausing for emphasis. "What I'm trying to say is, that people notice how nice you are, and they might try to use that against you. They see that you're the Empress of the Celestial Terrain Empire and they think, 'Here's someone we can take advantage of.'"

"So, the real fix here isn't to stop being a kind person," Aditya concluded, his eyes meeting Amelia's once again. "Instead, it's about knowing when it's the right time to be kind, and when you have to watch out for people who are just trying to use you for their own gains."

"Aunty, you have spoiled the elders rotten with your Kindness for Centuries. This is why today these Elders dared to about to you in such tone. You need to be more strict towards these Elders." Amelia silently nodded her head. Aditya's words were indeed true.

"There is also a big problem, as you have given the 10 elders too much power and influence, now if the 10 elders stand together, they wouldn't have any problem throwing you from power. So you might want to be careful in the next two weeks. Anything could happen." Aditya said in a mysterious tone.

Aditya could have helped Amelia out of this mess but he chose to watch over her. It was because he wanted her to understand and realize that in life being kind wasn't always the right choice. As the ruler of this empire, she needed to be decisive.

"Aunty, if I may offer some guidance," Aditya began, locking eyes with Amelia. He gave her a serious look. Amelia started to say ----------------
