Throne For Princes In Novels

Ep. 25 Rumors

"So why are you here alone? People will consider brother pathetic..."

The voice immediately made Louisse's eyes point to the source of the sound.

"Oscar?!" Louisse exclaimed with sparkling eyes as he found Oscar already standing beside the chair he was sitting on. Louisse was both delighted and relieved that Oscar was there to accompany him. At least one person was still on his side.

"Who's pathetic? I'm even enjoying this sweet dessert, don't you see ha?!" Said Louisse annoyed, although Oscar is a sister-in-law and a reliable friend but sometimes he often berahili Louisse.

Meanwhile, more and more people in the party room were gossiping about Louisse, especially at a time like this. Louisse's proximity to the Oscars has always been misunderstood by all parties, causing rumors that are not pleasant to hear.

"Hey look! It turns out that the Second Prince and Princess Louisse had a good relationship huh?"

"That's probably because Her Majesty the Queen is a supporter of Princess Louisse."

"As long as the First Prince is on the battlefield, the Second Prince is always the spouse of Her Highness the Princess at every event. Isn't such a relationship unnatural?"

The voices of the people who were gossiping behind them were loud enough for them to hear so that Oscar was carried away with emotion and wanted to silence the mouths of people who had no rules of manners. But before that happened Louisse stopped him.

"Oscar, you don't have to care about them."

"Where can I possibly be silent hearing their words?!" Oscar is so emotional.

"Yes my... Are you so angry that you're worried about your brother?" Louisse Mumbled.

"Actually what the hell did they see to judge me and Isse's sister like that? Gini-gini I have my own type of dream woman know...!"

"God... After hearing what you said, why do I feel like you're mocking me, Oscar. hmm?" Louisse who stood up from his seat and immediately pinched Oscar's cheeks by pulling him to the right left made Oscar complain of pain.

"Oh brother! Be ill... I'm not a kid anymore, brother!" Oscar protested for Louisse's treatment of him.

"For ever you are a child..." Louisse still pulls Oscar's cheek.

"God... Her Highness the Princess to the point of daring to hold on like that!"

"Look! All my words right?"

Seeing the joke Louisse had with Oscar made the people in the party room bark even more. And make Louisse also Oscar who accidentally heard him fixated for a moment.

"We should just stay in place, my hearing will be disturbed for a long time." Louisse said to Oscar.

"I think it's better." Oscar answered, agreeing with Louisse's advice.

"Oh yeah, what if Leonard's looking for me? He told me to wait for him here. Ah, it's okay just for a second, maybe a little while, I'll be back here before he looks for me." Louisse thought to himself.

"What's up, brother?" Oscar asked who saw Louisse suddenly dumbstruck.

"Ah it's okay, yuk!" Louisse said while taking Oscar to other places that are not too crowded.

A few minutes later..

"Louisse where the hell is it? Why the hell hasn't he heard my words before?! Bikik irang worry only." Leonard muttered as he walked around, look here and there to find the whereabouts of his wife who was suddenly not where Louisse was supposed to be waiting for him. Until he stopped his steps when he heard the chatter of someone at the party who was talking about his wife.

"There must be something between Her Highness the Princess and Her Highness the Second Prince, I'm sure of that! Make you see for yourself they're both gone."

"Yes, even though her husband has come home but they are always together, which is what people are rumored to be right."

"Yes, right? The two of them are definitely not an ordinary relationship."

Hearing such a visitation about Louisse made Leonard's heart slightly disturbed even though in his heart he continued to dismiss the cheap gossip. Not wanting to hear for too long, Leonard again walked around the party room big enough to find Louisse. And finally Leonard smiled after seeing in the distance what he was looking for.

"Ah, that purplish silber moat must be Louisse." With an expanding smile Leonard sped up his pace until he almost got close to Louisse who was seen among the dancing crowd. Yet...

"Louisse, it turns out you're in..." Leonard stopped his speech and steps when he saw Louisse was not alone. His wife was dancing with her sister Oscar with a laughing face.

At the sight of the scene Leonard retreated slowly from his steps and sat on the chair that happened to be right behind him. Suddenly his chest felt tight, there was a strange feeling that stuck in his heart and the words that people said about his wife and his sister were back ringing in his ears. Was there any suspicion in Leonard's heart like those people? Leonard's heart and mind are in conflict, on the other hand he wants to trust his wife and his sister Oscar, but on the other hand what he sees now shows the truth of what these people say. As his mind and heart raged a voice resuscitated him from strange thoughts that were not yet clear of the truth.

"Leonard's? You seem to be here? Is your business done?"

"Louisse..."

The man who approached her was his wife, Louisse.

"Yes, it's me. What are you thinking about?" Louisse asked with a fixed look on Leonard's face.

Leonard smiled, in his heart saying, "Yes, it is too late that what we see or hear is not the real thing."

"It's nothing, I'm just looking for you. Where the hell have you been? I'll tell you to stay quiet there." Said Leonard who scolded Louisse as if he was scolding a boy.

"Sorry, are you angry?" Louisse.

"No!" Leonard replied quickly.

"Ah... You are angry." Louisse Mumbled.

"I told you no, am I a kid?!" Elak Leonard did not accept Louisse's accusation even though he was actually a bit upset too.

"Yes, yeah... Yes, come with me yuk!" Take Louisse with Leonard's hand.

"Where are we going?" Ask Leonard curiously.

"To the balcony, it's too crowded here, I want to catch the wind." Louisse replied, continuing to walk while pulling Leonard's hand.

"Are you deliberately bringing me here?" Guess Leonard who made Louisse confused what he meant.

"Eh? Meanin?" Ask Louisse.

"This balcony was the one at that time." Leonard ambiguous.

"That time?" Louisse still did not understand what Leonard was saying.

"That's... I found you in this place at a day's release party before I went to war." After Leonard explained it like that, Louisse remembered the incident four years ago before he released Leonard to war.

"Aah! I remember now, you were crying here haha..." Ledek Louisse while laughing.

"I'm not crying!!" Elak Leonard was resolute with a red face.

"Yes, yeah... You're not crying." Louisse Sahut.

"I said no!" Call Leonard again.

"Yes... I believe, pfftt..." Louisse said with a grin.

"Dwuh... It's cute if she's embarrassed like this." Louisse looked at her husband.

Duar.duarr.duarr!!

Not long after that, there were fireworks. Louisse and Leonard looked up at the sky.

"Waaah... The fireworks are beautiful." Louisse said with a glance toward the fireworks that lit up brightly like stars in the sky.

"Yes, beautiful..." Leonard looked up at the sky.

Louisse turned to look at Leonard who was beside him. The light from the fireworks hit Leonard's face so that the Prince's look was clearly visible.

Louisse was stunned for a moment and then smiled...

"Seeing the fireworks that are burning brightly in the sky with you here makes me even more sure that you're really home." Louisse said looking at the handsome face of her husband.

"So it will become clearer that my time with you will not be long." Louisse in his heart.

"But to me it's like a dream, because actually I don't want to go to the battlefield." Reveal Leonard with a glaring view of the sky.

"It feels like I want to beg the Queen to let me live in peace despite having to give up my chance to be heir to the throne." Leonard.

"Then... Why don't you do that?" Louisse asked curiously.

"Either... It's over now though it's not really done." Answer Leonard.

"Ah is right, even though the war is over but this is only the beginning because Media and his family still control part of this Empire. It's going to be a tough next step for Leonard." Louisse said in his heart.

"When I was on the Eastern border every day I thought hundreds of times.ah no, thousands of times even to end the war immediately and return as soon as possible. Then I..."

Warr.duarr..duarr!!

Leonard's last words could not be heard by Louisse clearly because of the sound of fireworks being rekindled.

"Leonard, what the hell is that? What am I going to?" Ask in the heart.

Seriate...
