Throne For Princes In Novels

Ep. 20 News of Victory

In the Eastern border region of Prince Leonard's military headquarters....

"Sorry Prince, you can't leave in a state that is still recovering."

It appears that Rodrigo is blocking Leonard who wants to leave the base with a sword in his hand.

"Surge Rodego! I need to finish Locho and finish this war!" Gerak Leonard who did not heed Rodrigo's request because the injury on his arm has not improved enough.

"But if you force yourself to lead the army, your wounds will reopen Your Majesty." Rodrigo still insists on persuading Leonard not to leave.

"I'm fine, it's just a small wound. I want to quickly finish off Locho, the leader of the barbarians!" As with Rodrigo, Leonard is just as stubborn and heedless of what he says.

"Locho's army leave it to you and the troops, keep them in crisis and Locho is seriously injured, so we'll have enough to deal with it." Refer to Rodrigo again.

"Truely, Your Majesty, let you rest for a while." Julian was also there to prevent Leonard from going alone in the battle.

"You two step aside!! Are you against my orders now?!" Snapped Leonard with his sharp gaze.

"Are you like this because of Her Highness the Princess?" Redrego asked on target, but Leonard did not respond and immediately went to prepare his troops to fight again.

Leonard was always buzzing about the contents of a letter from Louisse who wanted him to return quickly. Plus Leonard's longing for Louisse was no longer able to stand it. Almost three years he and Louisse could not meet each other, of course Leonard missed the Louisse he loved so much, even though the word love had not been spoken from his lips.

Eventually Leonard actually led his troops back to capture the barbarian horde and its leader Locho who had fled because many lost. And with his strong determination and perseverance, Locho and the remaining hordes of his army were defeated. Even the enemy army was killed and left Locho whose neck was now covered with Leonard's sword.

"I admit defeat, it's your victory, boy." Said Locho who had run out of power.

"Is that the last word you want to say?" Leonard asked with the sword still unsheathed towards Locho's already helpless neck.

"Haha... I was underestimating when I first heard there was a little boy who wanted to become the Commander of the Supreme Army. But I didn't expect him to be able to annihilate my entire army and capture me alone." Locho said, who can still laugh even though he knows his life will not be long.

"Unfortunately you will die at the hands of this snot boy." Sahut Leonard sarcasm.

"Hey boy! I'll give you good advice one last time!" Locho looked into Leonard's eyes.

"Get my head and give it to your father! Isn't your standing not strong because of your lowly mother?" Locho said with a smirk smile.

"It's none of your business!!" Leonard was cold with a dislike look.

"Basic boy! It's hard to talk. There's no harm in you obeying a man who's about to die soon and I'm sure your father the Emperor will love this gift of my head. Then ascend the throne and become the next Emperor." Pinta Locho for the last time before her head was completely separated from her neck.

"There's no need to remind me because that's my goal!" Leonard between annoyed and a little surprised, he did not expect that the enemy before him wanted it before dying at his hands.

"Haha... Then I don't have to meng..khawa.tir.kanya..." After saying that Locho really died because of severe injuries in his stomach and chest he could not stand, then he fell in front of Leonard.

A second later Leonard fell down and lay down to the ground exhausted, plus the wound on his arm that was not yet dry was now completely open again and shed a lot of blood.

He looked up at the sky so bright that day. There was a sense of relief behind the pain and fatigue in his body. The picture of Louisse's smiling face in the clear sky he was looking at. Leonard smiled too.

"This war will soon be over, because the leader is dead then the rest of the troops will surely be quickly eradicated. Pfft... The Queen must have been very disappointed that I couldn't die as she wished. Since I promised to go back to Louisse, I will not die in this place. Louisse has promised to make a victory robe for me. So please wait a minute Louisse." Little heart of Leonard.

...****************...

Elsewhere, Louisse and Oscar were enjoying an Opera performance held in the Imperial theatre. It is the Aslan Opera that tells the story of the heroism of Aslan, the first Emperor to establish the Eleador Empire. Louisse and Oscar enjoyed the opera with bored faces until the end of the story. And they both came out of the theater with their faces wrinkled.

"Huahhs... It's so boring!" Pants Louisse with a mouth that evaporates.

"If Isse has seen it seven times, then you think I've seen it how many times?" Oscar replied by turning around Louisse's question.

"God...!" Louisse could not say anything more if Oscar had already said that. Because all members of the Empire are required to watch the Aslan Opera since they were small to adulthood once a year to remember the story of the hero of First Emperor Eliador. And that goes for the high-status nobles as well. Therefore Oscar must have been very sick of watching it for many years at regular intervals. Unlike Louisse who had just watched it since he officially entered the palace because he was only a low-status noble before.

"Hallo Her Highness the Princess, are you enjoying the Operation?" Suddenly a noble girl came to greet Louisse.

"Erica Louwyer, why did she come to greet me? Doesn't he like me? It's so weird." Inner Louisse questioned.

"Of course, the show was great." Louisse replied with a smile even though it was very disturbing to him.

"Hohoo... Her Highness the Princess turned out to be very deep because the story of Emperor Aslan who parted with his wife for fighting was very similar to the story of the current Princess." Erica said with a big laugh.

"Aah! Turns out this is what he meant by greeting me, the story of Aslan and Soledad with me and Leonard he thought would be the same. But at the end of the Opera's story, Aslan finally kills Soledad who is having an affair. You snake woman!! He wants to make a fuss in an elegant way huh?!" Louisse's grouse in his heart.

Louisse had already tried to contain his anger but was suddenly restrained by Vianty's presence at that moment.

"It is not a problem if the body is separated because of distance but the heart remains together. There are many couples who are close to the eyes but far from the heart. Isn't that lady Louwyer?" Vianty said with her subtle but piercing innuendo on target. And without being able to reply with the words of Erica Louwyer just left with her shy face without saying goodbye.

Vianty's skill in playing words was indeed beyond doubt. He was immediately able to get rid of Erica with his sharp innuendo who had a bad relationship with his fiancee.

"Vianty is indeed an expert in his elegant sharp words, I must learn from him." Inner Louisse while nodding his head.

"You should have said what you should have said. It's not good to hold something back. Then excuse me Your Majesty." Said Vianty who then left after saying goodbye to Louisse.

"Basic! He always says something by himself and then just leaves!" Grumpy Louisse after Vianty left.

"Actually I've been watching this for a long time... It's true that Isse's brother is close to Vianty de Zacard." Said Oscar suddenly after just now just observing the ladies who war words.

"What did you say?!! Are you crazy?!!" Excited Louisse who did not expect that his sister-in-law could think so about Vianty and herself.

"Is that wrong? Everyone said that Isse and Lady Zacard had a good friendship." Oscar.

"No!! Where possible?!! You crazy people!!" Excited Louisse while cursing.

"But you guys do look like that..." Tempta Oscar's.

"No!! I said no, yes no!!" Excited Louisse growled.

"Eh... But why do the palace servants look rushed?" Ask Oscar who saw the servants walking in a hurry here and there.

"Stop that..." Louisse Sahut.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Oscar confronted one of the servants.

"What's going on? why are you in such a hurry?" Ask Oscar.

"Oh Your Majesty... Just now there was news that if the First Prince won the war, he sent the head of Locho to be led by the Barbarians. And the Emperor now tells us to prepare a feast to celebrate victory." Answer the waiter.

"That's not long before Leon's brother will be back in the palace. Is this not happy news, Isse?" Oscar with his happy face. But Louisse was silent with a sad face.

Seriate...
