Chapter 452 Backlash

　　━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

　　In her statements after the \'sentencing\' of the old president, she gave a brief overview of how she planned to form the judicial structure of the empire. And while everyone already expected her to be at the \'top\', no one realized just how radically she planned to change things up.

　　The various state heads of the Commonwealth of Red Dusk, as well as the president himself, all issued statements expressing their disappointment with how the \'new leader\' of their neighboring country was taking things \'too casually\'.

　　Most weren\'t too \'obvious\', but only hinted at how they were hoping that the new \'empress\' would turn things around in the future, but that clearly wasn\'t going to be the case.

　　Some were more direct, however, and directly called Emilia out for being hypocritical and conceited. "She calls herself an Empress, and gives herself the right to do anything without repercussions, yet talks about justice? Hah."

　　Of course, the president was the harshest of them all. "The moment I heard she planned to take the title of \'Empress\', I knew that nothing good could come out of this girl\'s head. It\'s sad that the people of Blue Dawn have to go through one tragedy after another, and my heart goes out to those who will suffer under her tyranny."

　　The rest of the world was still more \'diplomatic\', though, and most either refrained from issuing a statement or put it forward in a way that left them with a \'way out\'.

　　The Prime Minister of the Phoenix country issued her own statement shortly after Emilia\'s speech was aired. "Empress Emilia\'s new policies contain the bright outlook and vigor of her youth, but we believe they need a lot of work before they are ready to be put into practice."

　　Of course, she refused to elaborate when some people asked her to suggest some \'improvements\' or \'changes\', which made many speculate about her true motives for saying such a thing.

　　Unfortunately, with mostly neutral, some negative, and no positive \'responses\' from various leaders, the fact that leaders all over the world were \'mocking\' the ridiculous policies of Blue Dawn\'s new empress soon became known as a \'fact\'.

　　Combined with the widespread doubt caused by Emilia\'s \'radical\' speech, those who hated her were suddenly so full of energy that they almost started vibrating in their seats.

　　If they were given so much fuel, would it not be a dereliction of duty, no, a sacrilege, to not even attempt to start a fire?

　　Not only was her punishment for the old president more than \'inhumane\', but the way she reformed the judicial system was so ridiculous that it would be a disgrace to even refer to it as \'judicial\' system anymore!

　　"Is this a joke? She did not just say that since overly detailed laws can be exploited and misused anyway, it\'s better not to have them, right? I must be hearing things, because surely no one can be THAT stupid."

　　"Trusting the ability of the judge? Hello, does this idiot not even realize that human beings all have different standards of \'right\' and \'wrong\'? The law needs to be clear and concise!"

　　Naturally, they were unaware that Emilia could use Crystal\'s ability to more effectively filter out the best judges from her people. But even if they\'d been told as much, most would only laugh at how ridiculous the empire was being with their propaganda, and how they didn\'t couldn\'t even be bothered to care if it made sense.

　　It wasn\'t just the haters, however. Even many \'neutrals\' joined the discussion to denounce Emilia\'s radical and unrealistic reforms.

　　"Exactly, not only is the law being detailed and extensive important to judge the criminals, but also for normal people to know what they should and shouldn\'t do. Otherwise, how are we supposed to keep ourselves from unwittingly committing a crime?"

　　Of course, with Emilia\'s fanatical fans now all over the place, their statements were met with fierce backlash.

　　"Aren\'t there more than a few countries with very, very detailed and concise laws? Don\'t tell me you people don\'t even know how the lawyers are still able to get criminals out scot-free?"

　　"Since that system clearly doesn\'t work very well, what\'s wrong with our princess trying something new?"

　　"True. I believe the princess is right in giving more power to the judge so they can decide for themselves what they should do. Plus, it\'s not like there is no recourse if the judge makes the wrong decision."

　　Of course, while it was possible for the \'criminals\' to keep going to a higher court to continuously contest the decision, Emilia made it clear that their punishment would keep getting more severe each time the previous decision was upheld.

　　Moreover, this recourse simply did not exist when the wrong judgment was passed by the highest authority, the empress herself.

　　But unfortunately, whenever the opponents tried to raise these points, Emilia\'s rabid fans simply used their faster typing speed and higher cohesion to bully them back by numbers.

　　"What higher chances of human errors? Idiot, didn\'t you hear the princess make it clear that the judges would be removed, and even punished if they were found to be malicious?"

　　"Escaping notice? Can their mistakes really go unnoticed if all trials would be available for live viewing on the empire\'s official website? Hah!"

　　"To be honest, knowing that the empress herself would be watching the trials from time to time… I really worry that some people would stage \'crimes\' just for that."

　　The statement immediately caused a new wave of heated discussion among the \'fans\' over how effective such a strategy would be, leaving everyone else dumbfounded.

　　Fortunately, before they could start questioning their life, one of the more \'prestigious\' knights with an officially recognized identity put an end to the discussion decisively. "True knights won\'t deceive our princess for selfish reasons! If we only think of taking advantage of her for our own selfish reasons, what right do we have to call ourselves her defenders?!"

　　The original poster of the \'ridiculous comment\' immediately apologized. "Ahh, sorry, sorry! If I ever get the chance I will definitely beg the princess for forgiveness!"
