I'm a Good Stepmom
CHAPTRE 18
...----------------...
Laontel Royal Palace, precisely in a park close to the knight training castle.
" Your Majesty, it looks like young master Henric has fallen ill. " Amon spoke, he stood politely before the long-haired man.
Amon reported that Henric fell ill after one day in a dungeon.
" Why is he sick? " Ask the man with long black hair.
" All I know, young Lord Henric is said to be weak. " Amon answered the question of the man he called his highness.
" Weak you said? it doesn't make sense. " The man did not believe that Henric was a weak man.
" Her Majesty the king, you may not believe. You can see him going straight to jail. " It turns out that the man with long black hair was a king.
Men with perfect chin line, black eyes with a mixture of gray, shoulders slightly wide, thin lips look soft, as well as long shiny black hair. That, it must be His Majesty King Edward Charles Laontel.
He was the youngest King to ascend the throne at the age of 8, at the age of 22. Surely he was not easy to sit on the throne, he had to get rid of all his brothers.
If not wrong, the previous king had 4 princes.
The first prince, named Edwin Charles Laontel. The second prince, named Evran Charles Laontel. The 3rd Prince was named, Custon Charles Laontel. The last one was Edward.
The three princes were killed by Edward, they failed to defeat Edward.
Though it is absurd and cruel.
It was common in the kingdom of Laontel.
Because it was already a provision of the Laontel kingdom, where the strong settled and the weak were eliminated.
" I don't have much time to see a weak child, Amon. " Said Edward, he gave an indifferent look no matter what.
" Go, you'll take care of it yourself. " Said Edward.
" But you should have seen it first, Your Majesty. Although he was a prisoner, he was still the young master of a quite influential family. " Amon staunch.
" Yeahhhh.....
Edward was heard sighing, and then he finally wanted to see Henric.
" I'll see it, but only for a moment. " Said Edward.
| He finally wants to. | Thought Amon.
Edward walked in accompanied by Amon in the back, he was going to jail to see Henric.
...----------------...
While in prison, Henric looks bad, he continues to curl up in the prison with a fairly chaotic situation.
He always muttered that he was innocent. He never made any mistakes.
" i...
" I'm not guilty.....
" I never did that.....
He kept it that way while in prison. Henric did not expect that he would feel the coldness of the dungeon.
" I—
" Want to go home.....
It was foreign for him to feel the coldness of the prison, because all this time, Henric lived with luxury and comfort with money that kept flowing.
It was because of Violet.
" Sister......
" I want to go home.
Henric whined like a 7-year-old, but he was the same age as Violet.
Henric who was huddled in a state of chaos he heard the voice of the prison guards.
" Wake up!! Your Majesty is coming!!! " The prison guard broke through the bars.
He said Edward was coming.
Henric didn't care, he was weak to stand. The reason he became weak, it was because he was depressed and stressed.
Henric didn't care around, he just kept thinking that he was innocent.
" Why do they blame me??......
Aside from this incident, the thing that made Henric Depression was his own brother.
They don't trust Henric, they don't listen to him. Even though Henric had shouted and explained everything.
Just like Violet, Henric now feels how people don't believe him even though he has said he is innocent.
And the one who doesn't believe it is his own brother, how could it not make Henric depressed.
When he was in a difficult situation, his brothers should have given him strength and support.
" Hey!!! wakeup....
" Are you deaf!!!
The guard continued to build Henric, but Henric continued to curl up blankly muttering.
" Take me out......
" I don't want to be here.....
He continued muttering, until Edward and Amon got there.
" Honor to His Majesty Laontel. " The guard paid his respects to Edward.
Edward, who was accompanied by Amon, raised his hand upon the salute of the prison guards.
" Look, Your Majesty, ever since he was put in prison, he's been like that. " Amon spoke while looking at Henric.
Edward, he looked at Henric with furrowed brows.
Then he spoke.
" Are you sure this is the kid who hit me at the time? " Ask Edward.
| I can't believe, only one day he was in prison, but his mental condition was like this. It seems he grew up pretty well. |
| But, I heard the gossip. That her stepmother, called the Witch of the Gods, was a rich young widow. He doesn't love children, he always tortures them. | Edward thought about the rumors circulating among the nobility.
" Is the rumor not true?..." Edward was astonished.
Hearing Edward's murmur, Amon asked.
" What gossip is noble? " Task Amon.
" No....." Edward did not give an answer to Amon's question.
| What gossip is your highness talking about? | Amon wonders in his mind.
Edward then ordered Amon to return to visit the castle of the Marquess.
" Amon, go to Marquess Sanjay's castle, and bring the Marcioness Violet. " Edward's orders.
Amon, hearing this, wondered and wondered.
| Why did your Majesty send me back to Marquess Sanjay's castle and bring the Marcioness Violet? | Thought Amon.
" I'll be back, there's something I need to do. " Said Edward, he left Amon, who was still in his mind.
Amon did not know that Edward was leaving, so he asked.
" Your Majesty, actually why you—
Amon glanced next to where Edward was standing, but he wasn't there.
" Your highness?....
" Where is your majesty?.....
Amon who dissolved in his mind he did not know that Edward was gone.
" Hey you, did you see your majesty? " Amon asked the prison guard who was standing at the exit.
The guard answered.
" He's been gone a long time. " the answer.
Amon who heard it, he immediately went to catch up with Edward while grumbling.
" Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me. " Murm Amon in between his steps.
| His Majesty has always been like this, he always disappeared somewhere. | Thought Amon.
Well, Amon was often like that, he always assumed that Edward disappeared without notice, but in fact Edward always spoke when he was about to leave.
But Amon sometimes does not realize that and assumes that Edward always disappears without words.
