In Other Realms With My Own System

The next morning, the Emperor came by himself to Prithvi Island. I was surprised by this sudden visit. Sure, we were supposed to go to the Ancestral Islands, but I always assumed that I have to go to the Emperor's mansion before that.

After a short greeting, he said that he will explain it on the way and asked to bring Guardian Niharika along this time. Again, I was surprised but didn't show it outwards. If Emperor is indirectly asking for Guardian Niharika's help on some matter, then the matter must be urgent otherwise why would he came himself and also asking her to come along. Something is really up, big this time.

We all departed quickly. In the route, the Emperor explained that the person appointed after Guardian Niharika to take care of the kingdom has gone missing for days and the increasing crime rate and unrest in the kingdom can turn sour anytime. So, this trip to Ancestral Island is regarding the Kingdom's urgent matters also.

Ancestor Rajendra had called for me to grant me king title early because of an increase in chaos in the nation while I was away these years. We arrived in the evening.

Later before dinner time, a servant came and informed, "Ancestor Rajendra has requested to meet you."

"Sure, lead the way."

When I arrived in the room, not many people were there. Teresa was standing with other servants and butlers. The Ancestor Rajendra was sitting along with the Emperor. I can recognize him from the memories of Rohan Gupta.

Ancestor Rajendra said "So, you finally came. Rohan Gupta, sit. How have you been? I hear you can solve the Communication Channel problem. I'm also looking forward to it. All of the Ancestors had agreed that from today on, you will be appointed as the temporary King of the Ashoka Kingdom. King's position cannot be left for empty for long, it's not a good sign. As the only son of my Brother Ravi, you have the right to be the King of the Ashoka Kingdom that your father left behind after he ascended. Also, it is not the only reason why we came to the conclusion."

Wait for a second, first of all, I'm temp. King? Well, sooner or later, it was gonna happen. But what about this Brother Ravi? Does that mean Ancestor Rajendra and Rohan's Father are brothers? But both shouldn't be brothers. I mean... Anyway. So, that makes him Rohan's Uncle?

He continued, "Things have become chaotic in the Ashoka Kingdom after Miss Niharika left. The new Person we selected didn't fare so much and is missing for 6 days now. In the last 5 years, theft, crime and all kinds of bad influences have taken root in the Kingdom and growing. As for the trade and economy, well when you get to the accounting, you will see how bad it has become."
