“What are the results of your investigation…?” said Fredrick to Tristan
“We contacted the information guild and they said there was no one named Alex in the Kennedy empire… They suppose that the person her highness met was... The crown prince of the Atria Kingdom… His name is Alexis.” Said Tristan
“Alexis… I suppose it is his first time coming to the empire. The King and Queen of the Atria kingdom are great people…”
“Is that so your highness…?”
“Yes… When that woman passed away the King and Queen were the only people who understood my true fee
This chapter will be a continuation from CHAPTER 43 - THE EMPIRE'S PAST Previously - Princess Amaryllis had died during child birth and her final words were for her child to not be taken to the Kennedy empire… Alexis was made the crown prince of the Atria kingdom instead. Aelius was hit hard by the death of Amaryllis’s death but he was not given time to grieve because... The nobles had pressured him to fill his harem and to produce an heir to carry on the family lineage. The person he was to be married with was… the princess of the Southern Kingdom… Princess Vanessa. Continuation - Vanessa first met Aelius when she was invited to the Kennedy Empire by the previous emperor. She possessed a great beauty and the previous emperor wished to take her into his harem when she was old enough. She met Aelius purely by coincidence. She was on a tour around
Previously -The events of that night were blurred to Aelius. He had come to regret meeting Vanessa.Vanessa's death had surprised the Southern Kingdom but they dared not fight against the Empire without a strategy.That is where the events of the Empire's past end.Currently -Rubia's Pov -What a story! I never read anything about the Empire's past in the novel but this book contained every single secret!Not everyone in the empire is allowed in the royal library and since I am not only the young lady from the Charleston house but also the crown princess of the Empire.It's quite the advantage... Why didn’t I think of it before...?A knock is heard on the door of the room. *"Good morning your highness. It is time to-." said Carol"Good morning Carol." said Rubia as she got up from her bed"Did you not get any
Previously -"Now that all your work is done. What do you say we pay a visit to Linda...? Her results will be out tomorrow." said Rubia"I'm fine with that. We'll go tomorrow." said Fredrick"Yes...!"The next morning. *“…!”*Fredrick was amazed by Rubia’s beauty in the dress she wore. He thought of her as a fairy with great beauty. *“What? Do I not look good?” said Rubia as she looked at her dress“Its not that… I just feel that you are a fairy who may disappear at any time.”“Oh! Ha-ha! That’s an interesting thought but…” Rubia lets out a laugh“…?”“I don’t think I’ll be disappearing any moment now…” said Rubia to herself with a low voice“Did you say something?” asked Fredrick“Nope. Let’s go, I can’t
The next morning. In the Emperor’s Palace. * Emperor Aelius’s Pov – Fredrick has handled the situation with the nobles. All that is left is for me to announce their crimes and declare the death sentence. Hahn… I almost forgot… Vanessa’s death anniversary is coming. Will Fredrick be going to visit her this time as well? I suppose so… She is his mother after all… A knock is heard on the door. * A guard enters the room. * “Your Majesty, His Grace, the Duke whom you asked for has come. May I let him in?” said a Guard “Yes.” Said Aelius Duke Henry enters the room and sits on a settee. * Duke Henry’s Pov – I was surprised when I received a letter from him saying he wanted my advice on something. If Lukas (The previous head of house Leonne and Mathew’s father) were alive he would be the one to give advice but… Hah…
Previously - What I can do for Fredrick… When I think about it the only thing that comes to my mind is to not change what I have been doing for him all this time… He has someone whom he has fallen in love with… It would make him uncomfortable if I interfered with his life right now… I will do anything for your happiness, Fredrick. That is the only way I can atone for the things I have put you through when you were a child. Currently in Fredrick's Palace. * Fredrick and Rubia are in the common study room. * "I am so tired!" said Rubia as she yawned "Was the class with Baroness Joann boring?" asked Fredrick "Not really. I just felt bored since the classes are over and there is nothing more for me to do for today!" "Hmm... I would have loved to accompany you to some place nice but..." "Yeah, I know, Maxwell (Fredrick's secretary who does work on Fredrick's
Previously -"Fredrick, do you think I can have a conversation with the emperor?""Hmm... Since you are the crown princess... You can.""Really!?""Yes. No one would dare to stop the crown princess from meeting the emperor!"Currently -Rubia is on her way to the emperor’s palace. *Rubia's Pov -Hahn... I hate carriage rides... In my previous life I had never once entered a car and here I am now...Fredrick had read of the acts of his mother, Vanessa, in the book. I wonder how he felt when he read it...Was he sad or did he not care?If I had to say... He would have been really shocked. But, even after reading the book he must always been with his mother.That is one thing I could never imagine to do if I were in his place.She had given birth to him because of her selfishness... In my opinion... She does not deserve his love.Though I su
Previously -"I will come to visit Vanessa. I no longer want to be a by-stander... I always wished to hold onto my child and raise him up telling him not to worry about a thing... Though it is too late for that... I wish to make amends.""I see. Thank you, your majesty." said Rubia with a smileCurrently -Rubia's Pov -I couldn’t sleep at all. Hahn... It’s weird that I feel even more nervous than Fredrick. Fredrick... Is he looking forward to visiting his mother's grave?Anyways, I just hope that the emperor can make it.If he doesn’t, I suppose there is nothing left to be done...No! I will force them to stay together in a room and discuss everything that happened in the past!I don’t think I can do that though..."Good morning, your highness. I see you are up already?" said Carol as she smiled"I was just looking forward today." said Rubia
Previously - "Father? What are you doing here?" said Fredrick as he glared at Aelius "I... came here to visit her." "I see. We were just about to leave anyways so; we will leave you both alone." said Fredrick after which he left with Rubia who was still in shock Currently - Rubia's Pov - Huh? What just happened? I'm pretty damn sure that the glare Fredrick gave his father just now was not a - "Father! What are you doing here!?". It was almost as if he wanted to ask his father, "What the hell are you doing here you old man?", but, he knew that it would be disrespectful if he did. And what's worse is that the emperor didn’t mind it! Truly such a weird duo of father and son~ But, is Fredrick alright? He hasn’t spoken a word to me ever since he held my hand and took me to the carriage... Fredrick was seated opposite facing Rubia. He looked past
