Odd Eye's

Part 18's. Rumors are burning

... ⁇ OODIE...

News of the brave citizen's appreciation being pinned on him suppressed the negativity in the capital regarding his image.

Although many still believe that this is a plan prepared by the future Emperor to increase the reputation of his women. But with the holiness of the Emperor how would he make such a disgrace?

Crowds discussing in the streets. Viviana's name rose rapidly as it has been. But another topic is much more interesting, a love story that occurs between the three. Emperor, daughter of Viscount Lances and the General.

"How is that possible? Although General Xavier is attractive, the Crown Prince remains far above him!"

"Yes! After all just think about it, who wants to be with a former traitor? It's the same as putting up a death row or digging your own grave! There's no guarantee he won't betray you again!"

"But they were not with that time-but

"Stupid! There is clearly someone who is trying to break the trust between the Crown Prince and lady Viviana"

"Yes, that rumor only spread through one interaction, and obviously everyone here witnessed that moment. Lady Viviana and the pure general are caught in an emergency situation. Bad rumor! Stupidly everyone believes! Really stupid!"

Discussions occur, some facts and logic in the sound extinguish the fire created. It affects everyone's thinking.

Logically, isn't it too foolish to believe based on purely accidental events?

But Viscount Lances knew, there was someone. Someone else who protected his daughter in silence. Suppress bad rumors by spreading such remarks.

But who ?

"They're all palace people."

Palace ?

"Master, it seems you misjudged His Majesty. He even protected the lady secretly."

"Then what if he also spread rumors? Sometimes the one who never thought of was the mastermind behind everything." the Viscount's remark made Nell speech silent.

"Please wait a week, if Your Majesty makes an application this week or takes the lady out after this rumor, then she's the culprit."

The viscount agreed.

Within week. If in a week the rumors subside and the application is officially run, then Javier is the culprit.

Then what's the motive? What's the purpose of spreading bad rumors about his daughter?

A sudden application with one eye contact is impossible to believe.

Although, there was always a possibility in love, Viscount Lances chose vigilance. His eyes can't fall into the wrong hands, right?

Hanaya sighed, enjoying the beauty of the Dorth market which was the trading center of Utopia. Silk, gems, gold, jewelry, knitted. All of whatever recent objects are up, all are available here.

Dorth is a beauty.

But, Hanaya is in the thicket of asa. Though only yesterday he ensured Javier's disengagement. But without any news, Hanaya's heart was broken.

Probably busy. That was all Hanaya could think of. Both of them wear a veil. Rumors are growing rapidly, exposing yourself will only lead to disaster.

Although the rumors are going down, no one knows how they react, right? At that time, Hanaya understood why Brianna spoke so much. The girl only distracted him, Brianna kept Hanaya safe without knowing everyone's sharp gaze.

At least there are still remnants of evil that lay on him. Public opinion may be a little turbulent but ugliness is hard to forget.

"General Xavier is mighty, but his past is... Lady Viviana with her great father background would never fit together."

"Traitor ! There's no guarantee not if he's going to betray again"

"It could be that he's after lady Viviana for the Lances family's support"

"Especially utopia became a center for rapid wheat exports.  Naturally, Vilanc's Viscount Lances area would be a strong supporter for the coup."

At this point, Hanaya begins to doubt Xavier. What if this was indeed a plan, what if Xavier had withdrawn his father in the second attempted coup?

There's always a possibility for every worst guess, right?

Perhaps.. the heart of the people who know ?

"Otherwise I hear, everyone who lives there is a slave."

"Slave ! They will be perfectly invited to work together. It could have been Xavier instigating them with a slave agreement over Utopia !"

"Huh, that's right the slave ruled over the prosperous Utopia, the funniest joke I've ever heard !"

"Like their status, slaves are slaves ! They are there to wear !" Then laughter sounded. It's Hanaya's anger.

How dare they insult his father's prosperous territory ! Taint the simplicity of Vilanc ! It was true that it was a slave city, but in comparison to the Capital, Vilanc was much more calming !

The movement of Hanaya who was about to advance gave clarity stopped when Brianna held him back.

"Miss, please calm down,"

Hanaya looked at Brianna in disbelief. Calm down? How could he calm down with this humiliation? They don't know what Vilanc is like! How peaceful was that village with such low status! Don't know what it's like to be cherished by someone purely with no ill intentions!

Brianna took a breath. Following the nonanya, understand Viviana's offence.

"Miss, I understand that. But defending is tantamount to adding wood to a fire. The more you defend the more the fire is ignited. The best way is to be quiet." There was a puddle of tears in Hanaya's gaze.

That's right what Brianna said. Defending is the same as igniting a fire. Eliciting the presumption of Xavier paying someone to incite the people to use the beauty of Vilanc.

For Hanaya will describe the Vilanc he felt.

"Miss, calm is the best way. This is the aspect that a Queen needs." Hanaya looked at Brianna. He's not as mature as Brianna, easily affected and weak.

Maybe if Brianna comes from a respectable family, other than Madelin or Rozetta, Brianna deserves the title of Queen. Hanaya found herself withered again, discouraged again. The people around him are far more content with the title than he is too easily carried away. Utopia will be destroyed if it leads.

A warm link enveloped his cold palm. Hanaya turned her head with her own eyes but a thin smile full of sincerity Brianna moved her heart "Miss, everyone is born with destiny, but if you believe in hard work, destiny may change. If your dream is to become Queen then as long as you deserve and strive hard, no matter what fate it will be yours"

"Remember one thing, every process produces results. Every step changes the outcome, every decision improves the outcome. No matter whose destiny, if you deserve it it is yours."

Hanaya's eyeballs were shaking. His heart was in emotion. He is too weak, easily affected and easily discouraged. How many times did Brianna's words spark her spirit? How many times does he depend on Brianna?

Maybe Brianna was sent to help him grow.

"Miss, don't cry. The queen was someone who led, another sun other than the emperor. Showing emotion is weakness and letting the heart affect will only ruin everything."

Hanaya scratched her lips, looking at Brianna "It seems, I won't be able to do anything without you."

Hanaya felt so. He realized how dependent he was on Brianna. Maybe, the steep road without Brianna will not be able to pass. His sincere words, loving eyes, warm touch were so thrilling and optimistic in his every utterance.

"Who said? Quite the contrary. I depend on you."

"No, I'm depending on you, Brianna,"

"Miss misunderstood this. I depend on you. Since becoming your servant, my life is in your hands. If Miss feels the need to return the favor, then live well, stand as strong as possible and be the Queen that no one controls. That way I would be proud to have a lord like you."

Even so. Despite the thrill of those words, Hanaya could not imagine the steep road without Brianna's advice. He depends on everything in this world. Her father, mother, love family, Javier and Brianna. If one of them loves him or they leave him, then life is nothing more than hell.

The world will not be the same in Hanaya's eyes.

And Hanaya will run away again. He is basically weak.
