Throne For Princes In Novels

Ep. 26 Invitation of the Emperor

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.

I don't know what Leonard said was unclear because the sound of fireworks was quite loud. But from the expression that Leonard showed as if he was going to decide an important decision and in Louisse's heart he also felt he had to prepare to leave the Imperial palace sooner than he did estimate.

Meanwhile in another room, Emperor Caspian was having a private meeting with Duke Zacard Vianty's father in his private study.

"Duke Zakard, how is the current development of the Parliamentary Council?" Ask Emperor.

"Sorry Your Majesty, the circumstances are still the same, The Queen's family still dominates to this day." Answer Duke Zacard.

"From the results of my investigation the majority of the members of the House of Parliament have the support and support of the Queen." Duke Zakard.

"The members of the Council would definitely not remain silent if Prince Leonard ascended as Crown Prince because they were all on the Queen's side and many of them were Queen's family." Emperor Saying.

"Duke Zacard's..."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

"I have high hopes for you, if it comes from the Zacard family it will definitely go well as expected." The Emperor said with a smile to make the Duke confused about what the Emperor meant.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty." Duke Zacard asked.

"My point is if First Prince Leonard has the direct support of the Zacard family then there is no more obstacle for him to ascend to the Crown Prince's throne. So if he's paired with one of your family then..."

"Sorry Your Majesty, so makaud you..."

"Yes, you're right. What if the unification plan of two families that ten years ago failed we agreed to do now?" The Emperor's bargain sounded like an order to Duke Zacard.

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

The next day at the Sun Palace the residence of the Emperor Eliador, Caspian de Eliador. Where no one can enter it except to get a direct invitation from the Emperor and that also applies to his children. Including Leonard who now gets an invitation to enter the Sun Palace for the first time. Although it was an invitation from the father, but did not make Leonard's heart feel happy. He was just sick of it. He who had been ignored suddenly noticed after winning the war made Leonard think that there was something else the Emperor wanted instead of meeting because he missed his son.

"Your Majesty, the First Prince has arrived..." Said a guard in front of the door of the banquet hall where the meeting was held.

"Send him in!" The Emperor from there.

"Please Your Highness Prince..." Said the guard as he opened the door and bowed respectfully.

"Hoho... My proud son, have you come?" Welcomed the Emperor with pleasure who remained calm and Leonard kept entering with his quiet steps expressionless.

But in his arms Leonard felt surprised because there was not only the Emperor but also his mother, Empress Veronica, and one other person sitting there.

"The Vianty de Zacard?! How could a noble lady be able to obtain an invitation from the Sun Palace that was even hard to come by even though it was the Empire?!" In Leonard's heart asked the awkwardness he was seeing right now.

"Sit Prince... You two must know each other, right?" Said the Emperor with a question that was definitely the answer.

"Of course, Your Majesty..." Vianty replied gently.

"Lady Zacard was originally the spouse of Prince Leonard. After now meeting again it turns out you guys still look harmonious. What do you think, Empress?" The Emperor said with hidden intentions.

"I agree Your Majesty." Reply Empress.

Hearing the father's words and his mother's answer made Leonard surprised and began to understand where this conversation would lead. But Leonard did not want to conclude first and chose to remain silent for a while.

"Then... What do you two think?" The Emperor paused his sentence and glanced at Leonard and said again...

"If a relationship that failed ten years ago is rewoven now?" Continue Emperor.

"I'm sorry, but His Highness Prince Leonard is already married, where might I be..."

"Isn't there a good way to divorce? The Princess of the Roman family was less suitable as the Prince's wife, especially she had the support of the Queen. Of course it wouldn't be convenient for you, would it, Prince?" Emperor Caspian said with a speech of his profession.

"That's not Louisse's fault at all!! What would the people look like if he was just kicked out of the palace?!" Leonard did not accept it.

"Why just don't you know Prince? It's easy, just give a false excuse like... She was having an affair when her husband wasn't in the palace." Said the Emperor lightly.

Brakk!!

Leonard directly kicked down the table while exclaiming, "Your Majesty!!" And he was silent for a moment while controlling his emotions so as not to explode.

"I just got back to the palace but you said so. Shouldn't this not be talked about now?" Leonard said, holding back his emotions.

"Ah, after thinking about it I don't think it's good to be rushed like this. Then today we'll have lunch to welcome your return." Emperor Saying. For a while Leonard can be calm but do not know until when.

Eventually the emotionally draining invitation show was over and Leonard rushed to resign with Vianty.

While walking out of the Sun Palace Leonard and Vianty engaged in a small chat.

"How do you think Prince?" Ask Vianty.

"What about?" Ask Leonard flatly.

"Wedding." Answer Vianty

"I think His Majesty the Emperor is serious about it." Added Vianty.

"Can I be honest?" Leonard asked Vianty.

"Of course Your Majesty." Answer Vianty.

"I think that's bullshit!" Leonard answered honestly.

"Pff... Haha... I expected it when we agreed." Vianty's unexpected remark left Leonard shocked.

"I think so too. According to His Holiness why is this fellow I still do not have a fiancee or husband?" Ask Vianty.

"That's a little weird to think about." Answer Leonard.

"That's because it's your fault, Your Majesty.." Vianty replied ambiguously.

"Why is it my fault?" Leonard was confused.

"After hearing the news of your first victory in the first battle, my father had already devised a plan to make you the next Emperor. More precisely making His Highness the Prince who became my husband the next Emperor." Vianty.

"Don't talk original!! We're still in the Sun Palace." Leonard.

"Why indeed? It could have been after this my father would have fallen ill after I said I didn't want to kiss with you Your Majesty." Vianty said as if it was just a joke.

"Don't joke!" Leonard.

"Ah sorry, isn't that funny? But I'm not kidding Your Majesty, I'll talk to my father to cancel this wedding plan because I'm not interested in marrying the Prince." Said Vianty with his earnestness.

"This woman, I always felt that her true nature was always covered up. Vianty de Zacard, are you starting to show your real mask now?" Inner Leonar.

Seriate...
