The Lawrence Family Rescue
CHAPTER 21. The Plan to the West
“About how's the girl doing?” I muttered while looking at the clear sky from my bedroom window.
It's been over a month since our last meeting, even when I hallucinated seeing it. A very unique girl, different from anything I've ever met. Maybe he is the only one who can accept me completely. More than that, Aurel has always been able to comfort me and calm me down. He was the one who noticed how I felt.
“What about Lawrence family condition?” I asked a soldier who suddenly appeared near me.
“As far as my observations are concerned, the Lawrence family is in fine condition. I was only able to observe from afar for fear of being caught by one of the bodyguards there. Lawrence's family guards are always on guard 24 hours around the residence.” Reply to the soldier in black clothes.
“ How about miss Aurel?” Asking back.
“Guardment around miss is very tight. Mr. Louis always puts a shadow bodyguard around the lady. Not only that, the lady was also guarded by those envoys of the head of the Lawrence family.” Reply to the soldier.
“As far as my observations go, miss often spends time with lord Louis and head of the Lawrence family.” Connect the soldier.
Being the favorite grandson of the head of the Lawrence family and the favorite son of the chairman of the imperial elite forces made Aurel's security in doubt. His grandfather and father would of course put the best people they had to look after the girl.
“Some time ago, I heard Miss Aurel was talking about her former queen's majesty.” Said that soldier who made me frown.
“Ibook?” I'm confused.
“True prince, at that time miss Aurel saw a photo of the prince with the previous queen in one of the cake shops on the main street of the empire.” Obviously the soldier.
“Ohh, that shop.” My answer is to remember the incident.
.
.
“Your Majesty the queen, thank you for helping us in repairing the main streets of this empire. When there is no noble maybe this place will remain a slum.” Speak to one of the men with great respect.
“No need to thank, it is my responsibility as a member of the empire to help the people.” Answer my mother humbly.
“Yes majesty, I wish you and prince the best.” Said a woman with haru.
“Yes, if you please it will be my greatest honor. Would you like to visit my shop? I'll give you the best cake I have.” Said a man by pointing his hand at one of the shops on the street.
“Good, may.I am willing to visit your store.” Answer the mother with a friendly smile.
Carrying me, the mother, the bodyguards, and the shopkeeper headed to the destination. A store with a pink color that is quite dominant. The classic-style shop makes anyone who enters will feel comfortable.
“Beautiful store.” My mother said when she entered the store.
“Thank you for your noble compliment.” The shop owner was so happy.
The shop owner headed for a glass cabinet that contained a row of cakes with various types. He took out a small plate with a pink engraving. A chocolate cake layered with a sprinkling of stars on it. I saw him so impressed. “How can a food as beautiful as this be swallowed?” I murmured in my heart.
“Wahhh, very beautiful cake.” Mom's speech is enchanted.
One mouthful went into mom's mouth. The expression greatly enjoyed the look from the mother's face. I don't forget that my mother also bribed me. Looking at my mother's expression, she seemed to like the cake. The shopkeeper not only gave the cake to me and my mother, but also to the guards.
.
.
“Western regions?” I murmured with a smile I didn't realize.
The western area is where my mother's family is, which is none other than my grandfather's grandmother's family. I haven't seen them in a long time, the last time was the day my mother left.
“What does Aurel do there?” Askaqua.
“Based on the information I got, miss will do aurora training and join in social gathering.” Answer the soldier.
“Good, you can go.” I said after feeling enough with the information I got.
After the shadow warrior left, I went straight to the emperor's study. Inside the room the emperor was seen conversing with the prime minister.
“Ohh...first prince, come here.” Call the emperor when you see me coming.
As he approached, there was a cynical look from the prime minister. He looked at me uncomfortably as I stood near him.
“What's the first prince?” Ask the emperor.
I just kept quiet, without answering the question. The emperor, who was aware of my actions, decided to ask the prime minister to leave the room. “Prime minister you can go.”
After the prime minister left the room, the emperor asked the same question again. “What's the prince?” He raised one of his eyebrows.
“I want to go to west area.” I answered with a flat face.
Hearing my words, the emperor showed a confused face. Seeing that expression I felt that the emperor would not let me go or that I would be given the task of not being able to leave.
“Bby, please.” The emperor replied after digesting my words.
“Did you miss your mother's family?” Ask the emperor who was still curious.
“Maybe, haven't I seen them in a long time?” Reply doubt.
“Alright, bring your personal servant and the bodyguard you trust. Remember you are a prince, so don't be reckless. This imperial good name is in every action and greeting.” The emperor spoke firmly.
“Good thanks your highness.” My heart with respect.
When he wanted to leave the room, the emperor stopped me. “Are you not afraid of your position being shifted by your sister?”
“What from the beginning became my right will keep coming back to me.” Answer me with certainty.
“The position of you and my sister is not much different, even arguably balanced. The nobles will continue to see the development of the two candidates, by disappearing from their observations will make them question you.” Obviously the emperor so that I can consider everything.
“If what the nobles want is an action, I will do more than they expect. Remember your majesty, half of me is emperor blood and the other half is hero blood. There's no need to worry about me, even though I walk alone without mom.” My words confirmed my position.
Hearing my answer, the emperor smiled. “I have to admit, you are worthy. But, having too much pride is not good.” Sahut the emperor with a small laugh.
“I have to emphasize how many times your Majesty. The seat you're in is my right. It should have been me there, and that's what will happen.” Answer me with a sharp look.
“Alright, let's see who will receive the crown prince title after the age of 17 years later.” The Emperor was very much looking forward to this event.
