Odd Eye's
Part 17's. About Xavier
... ⁇ OODIE...
Judging from the gelagatnya, Viviana seemed to forget the emotional talk last night rather act as if nothing happened.
Brianna's staring. Although he wants to explore further the causes of nonanya like that, he must undo because of the reluctance that appears in the Viviana facial water.
The only thing he can do is help his nona calm down
"You want to go to the city, miss? There's a new doll show, if you'd like I'd take you there."
The corner of Hanaya's lips drew a wry knotty smile "I'm fine no need to worry."
"Miss, tomorrow is the day that the Podium Discussion takes place. If you go there in a bad mood, I'm afraid things will get worse. The bad rumors in the city are getting violent, if you like this-if you
"I understand!" Hanaya's voice rose. In an instant his spirit was ignited. Brianna cares and understands her mood.
He could not sit down gloomily and wait for his bad rumors to spread to ruin the reputation he would be riding on.
"Take me to the library. Prepare tea and snacks. I'm probably gonna need that."
"Neither miss"
Brianna passed by after driving Hanaya to the library.
Hanaya was silent her focus could not gather at all. It's screwed! His heart was passionate, filled with curiosity - what caused Xavier to abdicate. The sentence for the crown prince would not be so severe, it might just be a temporary status freeze, but Xavier's position was revoked. So on what ?
Hanaya cursed herself. Although afraid of the hidden things behind it, he was filled with curiosity. Hanaya will not be able to focus until she confirms her answer that this is not related to her future husband.
Even this was only a few days before he realized the status of Xavier, Javier's older brother.
"Brianna. Do you know the cause of Xavier's abdication from the throne?" Hanaya asked nervously. Then continued his thinking when Brianna just looked at him "I mean, you know not without a heavy crime like the coup status of Xavier will not be separated this easily. He's the emperor's candidate might be a status-freeze
"General Xavier was involved in the coup plot."
Coup ?
Hanaya's eyeballs glared, surprised to hear that.
A coup? Thus Xavier had to be hanged and his name written as a Utopian traitor. Then why is he still alive ?
"The previous "Emperor, who was their father let him fight against the enemy in the war, was the general's greatest contribution. After that the general continued to be sent to war and continued to win because of that he was appointed as a general and his sentence was lightened." Brianna who always guessed Hanaya's thought answered straightforwardly.
But that only added to Hanaya's curiosity then he excitedly asked
"What's the penalty?"
"General Xavier had to stab his eyes and tie the holy oath with blood not to betray Utopia again"
Holy oath with blood ?
In some of the Utopian histories he studied, this was a Vow tied with a god through blood as a symbol that was a remission for the heir to the throne, the descendants of the emperor, or the king, or relatives of families who have staged a coup or betrayed the kingdom.
But the punishment was more horrible. Not in the hanging. Instead of being whipped and every wound would be covered in alcohol, relentless torture to death. In some cases Hanaya had read that most of the victims had run out of blood, had hypothermia due to dark rooms and cold temperatures and malnutrition. Not only that, they are even in the skin and his organs are fed to birds.
The Empire believed that ignoring remission was tantamount to insulting the forgiveness of gods. So it deserves painful rewards. As many as 20 descendants of the king recorded in history experienced something similar.
Utopia looks peaceful, but behind this peace lies a terrible history.
The more he knew the more Hanaya realized, the less simple this story seemed.
Her knees were limp, but the other wisdom she was grateful for was that there was no interference from Javier, the future husband in this matter.
Hanaya can live her life quietly without any anxiety.
Why does everything feel wrong ? Something's stuck, but what ?
"Your mama's fine
"I'm good. Accompany me to the carnival you mentioned there's a massive doll show, right?"
Brianna stared at her nona. You know where her bad mood came from.
"It seems you just want to make sure of His Majesty's disengagement in this matter" the statement made Hanaya flushed.
"You! There seems to be nothing I can hide from you" Hanaya said. He felt like the book Brianna memorized every strand she said.
"Remember, lady, the palace is not as simple as it looks."
Again, the mysterious advice is laid. But Hanaya disagreed. The palace was a simple place that would later become his!
The home where her happiness is complete!

"So they're together?"
Soldier nodded. A heavy sigh in the extension of a tight fist occurs.
Raising his gaze, Javier's black eyes drew "Call Xavier here"
"Okay sir" not long after, Xavier came in. Still in armor, it looks like Javier is disrupting his training.
"Where were you yesterday?"
Xavier looked at Javier, then replied straightforwardly "Yesterday is personal time. Where and with whom I go no one has the right to interfere."
"Xavier!" Javier's impact didn't make Xavier shake. The man just looked at his sister calmly
"There are always limits in work and personal affairs. I hope Your Majesty understands."
The answer that triggered Javier's angry deck. However, at least those words were true because Javier had no choice but to temper his anger deeply.
"You with him?" Ask Javier.
Xavier was silent for a moment. Either a tick or what, then answer "Yes. Lady Viviana is with me."
"You know who he is, right?" Xavier sighed. Jealousy. That was what he could catch from his sister's tone.
"Prospective Queen. Everyone in this country knows about it. Lady Viviana is the one you love."
It seemed like it was enough to make a thin smile appear on Javier's lips "I hope you understand. Don't get involved with my woman getting deeper."
"Yes" misunderstanding. But Xavier is reluctant to straighten out or just defend himself. In the eyes of a person who burns with jealous fire, whatever the other person says will only be considered as self-defense.
"Then, is there any progress? Their leader, have you found it?"
"Not yet Your Majesty. Looks like all the documents, letters and any leads were cleared before he moved out of town and was caught."
Javier sighed softly "If you don't kill him and sentence him, maybe we'll have proof."
Just then Xavier's blue eyes flashed ice-cold "No. I didn't kill him, he was killed. Someone has eliminated it. That meant that the leader was someone close to the palace, otherwise how could he possibly find a secret prison so easily?"
"Killed?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. That's why I executed the body before the news spread out"
"Are you sure it wasn't suicide?"
Xavier shook his head firmly. His face turned serious.
"No. They made it look like suicide. But there's a sign of a reddish resistance in the neck. Someone choked him, forced him to swallow a suicide pill, and there was a tear of the cloth that meant he was trying to prevent his killer from escaping." Xavier's not stupid to punish without dredging information. There are other people, in this palace or around them who are responsible for this smuggling.
"Guard?"
"It happened during the guard exchange. The pills are also substances that are easily digested and speed up death."
In fact, this thorough information is also in possession. He was obviously someone of influence, but who? Xavier was in complete control of the entire Utopian guard. If this news were to circulate, one could use it to eliminate Xavier on charges of treason!
Because most of the data people smuggled, young men aged 20-35 years disappeared without a trace. That means, this guy's gathering troops, somewhere.
"Xavier, does anyone know this but you? If there's a vanishing them" said Javier coldly.
Xavier saluted "Thank you for the concern, but I can handle this. Your Majesty don't have to worry about focusing on your coronation, I'm sorry."
