ACASHA (A Symbol of Eternity and Resurrection)

Chapter 74's

...🦋 HAPPY READING 🦋...

"Are you going to keep quiet?"

The familiar voice rang out, resuscitating Morgan from what he was currently seeing from a distance.

Morgan turned his back, then looked at the man with a raised eyebrow, as a sign that he did not understand what he meant.

"You certainly know what I mean by noble. When will everything go according to the will of the woman? Have you seen it often yourself? Before everything really gets out of bounds and it's hard to stop, then you have to come down to handle it."

The figure of the man, was Marquis Steven. Staring far into the park at the end there, where the park was Castela's favorite place while in this palace. But behold, because of the actions of the sister of the woman he loved, that place has now lost its beauty.

Everything seemed bleak, gripping with a sinister aura that asked for justice for what had been done by the woman who had served as the Queen of the SEATHLAND kingdom.

"I still don't know what the Marquis should do. Everything was too fast and sudden. In fact, I don't even know when it all started." Morgan said back to position his body as before, staring at the palace garden that has been cleaned by the servants and assisted by some of the palace soldiers.

"You, must choose your majesty. If you are constantly buying time and making it wasted, you yourself will have difficulty overcoming it at the end." The man who was still serving as the Marquis let out a rough sigh before finally making a sound again.

"No mother would ever want to see her child live in suffering, fear, despair, and even self-blame. And no child shall remain silent, when he sees his father, the one whom he loves and loves most is treated like a pet."

The man who had served as King for the past five years was silent. Digesting all the words said by a Marquis, who was a good friend of his late wife.

"I thought at first that things weren't too far away. But after what you said just now, I suddenly realized, if everything has turned out to be very complicated, more complicated than we imagined."

The man who repeatedly rejected the Duke's title, and further defended his Marquis title looked up, gazing at the clear sky.

"I just hope, if one day later, when the time has come. He does not hate us, your majesty. I'm just afraid, I can't even imagine if it happens. Back to make him feel disappointed, is the thing I've always feared."

"Well, I think so too. But I have resigned and will accept whatever the consequences of what I have done. Even if he has to hate me for this." Morgan smiled smirkily, clearly seen a sense of helplessness on the face of his handsome who increasingly looks mature with fine feathers on his face. "Because I'm not like you Marquis."

Marquis Steven was silent, not responding to King Morgan's remarks. Because he is still waiting for his continuation.

"Because I'm not like you to still defend your Marquis title, just out of fear that if one day, when he returns, he won't be able to recognize you as a Duke. If only I could, but until any time I still wouldn't be able to. I can't be selfish, if I let go of this throne and remain a prince, won't that make him hate me even more?"

"You don't have to be me, or whoever is noble. Stay to be yourself. Everyone is different, with their own impressions that they leave behind. The path that I choose, is one that can still be changed by opposing destiny, because it only involves myself in it. But, the path that you must take is different, noble. Your path is self-written by destiny, and if you want to change it, you're gonna have to risk hundreds of people's lives out there." Marquis Steven brightly with his flat face.

Being a king is not easy. Moreover, so much blood was accompanying his footsteps before reaching that highest peak.

He felt grateful, because the man who was currently standing next to him, did not follow leaving him. Just like Brian, his wife's best friend who was willing to sacrifice his life to protect the woman he loved so much.

Leading a region with a very sad condition. Added with a variety of disasters that are continuously present and stop every year. Makes Morgan really lose his real life.

In fact, he forgot to take care of his two sons. Until they always thought, if he married Camelia just to replace their mother's role. However, one thing he kept secret from his children and also the public.

They think of Morgan as a jerk-off King. He married another woman after his wife's funeral. And the unlucky one he married was his own wife's older brother.

They always assume, is it because they have the same face? so Morgan hasn't been able to forget it? is it because of fear of loneliness after being left by his wife? in the public eye, Morgan was nothing more than a tyrannical King.

Become the scapegoat behind the mask played by Camelia. Even still fresh in their memories how Duke Herli who was dragged by force, then tortured and held for five years in the palace prison. The public only knew if the order was overshadowed by Morgan. But no one knows if Camelia is behind it all.

Marquis Steven and Morgan, awakened from their respective daydreams, heard a heavy and cold voice greet their auditory senses.

"Hail your honor," Duke Marchel saluted, then turned to look at Marquis Steven who saluted him.

"Ah, have you come Duke? why did you suddenly come fast? isn't the time to hold a prayer ritual still tonight?" Morgan asked a slightly stale with a little awkwardness. Because, since the incident he remarried to Camelia who was directly in about by the man, plus the arrest of his father and the sudden decline of office to Marchel, he added, their relationship became worse and more strained.

No more chatty and annoying Marchel. What now exists, is only Marcel who is cold and untouched. Who always looked at people with flat expressions and sharp gazes.

"Ah, Duke Marcel would definitely like to meet the two princes. Then excuse me, Your Majesty, you can continue your activities again. I will accompany Duke around while searching for the twin princes." Said Marquis Steven melting the atmosphere that already felt really cold.

Even the fur on his back felt goosebumps when he saw the look of wanting to kill that Marchel had shown to Morgan.

Morgan nodded in understanding, he smiled faintly before finally letting them go with his hand gesture that gave way.

"Please enjoy your time. Prince Aidan and Prince Aiden are probably in the library" he explained before finally leaving first.

"I really want to eliminate that guy. Akh... Really sucks." Mumbled Marchel slowly who was still caught hearing Indra Marquis Steven. Makes the man smile awkwardly and creeps.

"Let's Duke," he said, smiling stiffly as he walked away from the spot.
