Throne For Princes In Novels

Ep. 27 Leonard's Heart Wounded

The palace of the Emperor...

"Thank you for bringing your Majesty here... Since my horse-drawn carriage is waiting, I beg you to leave." Vianty said, looking down respectfully, after getting a nod from Leonard, he walked towards his chariot, but before he got into his carriage, he turned around and said...

"Oh yes, Your Majesty, you and Her Royal Highness the Princess are very similar pfftt..." Said Vianty while chuckling amusedly.

"What do you mean?" Leonard did not understand.

"You both always say what you have in mind right then and there without any hesitation." Vianty.

"What?!" Leonard.

"Then excuse me Your Majesty." After that Vianty rushed into his carriage before Leonard asked again. While Leonard can only be sculpted to hear the judgment about himself and Louisse.

"Sorry Your Highness the Prince, your chariot is ready. Are you going back to the Prince's palace right now?" Ask adjutant.

"No, I'm going to the Princess' palace right now." Answer Leonard.

"Your Majesty." Answer aide.

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

Elsewhere, Louisse is kite-flying in the flower fields behind his palace. While looking up at the sky occasionally he sighed as he recalled the incident just a moment ago inside his palace. Earlier this morning suddenly Baroness Roman, Louisse's mother came unannounced and yelled at her son.

This morning was more or less like this...

"Louisse! Why are you so engrossed in tea while lady Zacard and your husband are in the Sun Palace at the invitation of the Emperor?! Did you know that?!!" The screams of the Baroness that suddenly came and made Louisse aghast in shock.

"Mother?! Why did mom come suddenly without notice and immediately shouted?!" Louisse asked while covering both ears.

"Is that important now?! You have to oppose the divorce! You understand what I mean, don't you, Louisse?!" Said Baroness Roman in a command tone.

Yep... Such is what makes Louisse's head dizzy thinking about the nature of his family members. Father, mother and brother are just greedy people who usually use their daughters for their own reputation in social circles.

"Bright... I'm so tired. Why are the people in the Roman family so greedy? So don't be too hopeful with the antagonistic family, anyways after coming out of the palace I won't go back to that family again." Louisse said in his heart.

"Your Majesty, don't be so sad. The First Prince can't possibly cheat on you, he must be loyal!" Chlara said.

"City, Chlara..." Louisse was stunned for a moment to see Chlara.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is unlikely to commit such a trashy deed as divorcing you and expelling you to the Monastery. You are a faithful wife, even in difficult circumstances you embroider a robe for the Prince during the night while praying for him to return home safely." Chlara continued to babble incessantly.

"Yes my... What the hell is he thinking? Though I'm dizzy because my family is like trash why was Leonard brought around? Ah, I just realized that Chlara was there when my mom came." Louisse's mind suddenly cengo.

"Chlara's... Please calm down a little, it's not what you think..." Louisse said, but Chlara did not hear it and continued to blabber incessantly.

"If His Highness the Prince still did that, he must have gotten a curse from the Gods! Such an invitation should be rejected by His Highness the Prince right? If this sounds to the outside it will definitely be a rumor tomorrow!" Chlara grumbled endlessly because she felt annoyed if her employer was treated like that. For info only if Chlara is one of Louisse's personal servants who idolizes the romantic relationship between Louisse and Leonard, so news like that makes him rise in blood. Until a voice from behind him made him able to be silent instantly.

"I'm sorry I didn't reject it. But in this Empire rarely can anyone refuse an invitation from His Majesty the Emperor."

And while shaking Chlara also turned her body to make sure the sound she heard was the voice of the person she had just blasphemed.

"Leonard, why are you here?" Louisse asked with a confused face.

"Yes... That's Muli.aa..."

Bukk!!

And Chlara fainted when she saw Leonard's face.

"Oh my goodness, Chlara..!!" Shouted Louisse for a moment.

.

After putting the fainted Chlara under the tree, Louisse was finally able to continue playing his kite which this time was accompanied by Leonard.

"Why did you go out there anyway? I'm gonna have a hard time finding you." Leonard's grouse on Louisse.

"I want to play kite but in my palace there is no suitable land to play on, so I came here because it is quite spacious, the scenery is good and the wind is also supportive for kite play." Louisse replied casually while pulling out a thread of his kite.

"You're a really relaxed person huh..." Leonard looked at Louisse.

"Life must be relaxed and do not be rash, then your life will be long." Sahut Louisse by staying focused on his kite.

"What do you mean?" Louisse with question marks.

"If you mean... Ah!! The wind is too strong! My heaven's pulled! Oh..!!" Shouted Louisse who almost fell tripped because he pulled his kite which was dragged by the wind. Louisse ended up falling with himself somehow being able to get on Leonard's lap.

"That's dangerous." Leonard.

"But my kite..." Louisse lamented his severed kite and flew in the wind.

"Huh... I thought you'd be sad, it wasn't like that. If anything disturbs your mind and makes you sad tell me directly, don't shut up." Said Leonard while hugging his wife's waist.

"What do you really mean?" Louisse asked once again because he really did not understand.

"It's about Vianty de Zacard who also got the Emperor's invitation with me." Leonard finally answered.

"Ah.. That's what Leonard meant. He thought about it because we were husband and wife." That's Louisse's positive thoughts in his little brain.

"Haha... If it's a problem I'm not sad at all. Anyways... Isn't Lady Zacard very pretty?" Louisse lightly teased Leonard like that.

"En, I don't know! I don't know!!" Leonard replied instantly with a stammer and a tense face.

"Don't lie!" Sergey Louisse stared intently at Leonard.

"If I'm honest, you have to promise not to get angry." Leonard Pinta.

"Hey... How could I be angry." Louisse Sahut direct.

"Yes promise?" Leonard said once more and Louisse nodded his head steadily with smiling lips.

"Can, pretty..." Leonard replied nervously without being able to see Lousse's eyes.

"Huffs... Thankfully, she could still judge a person's beauty." Inner Louisse who felt so relieved.

"Listen to Leonard... You and Lady Zacard will be a good match." Louisse said with a smiley lips but it made Leonard goosebumps.

"You said you wouldn't be angry..." Leonard said with a worried look.

"When am I angry?" Ask Louisse.

"Aren't you angry right now?" Leonard Sahut.

"I'm not really angry, I'm serious about what I said. Even if it's a political marriage, you will still be able to survive because you see the face of your partner. And lady Zacard is a dazzling woman." Louisse without thinking what Leonard thought.

"Why are you saying it like I'm going to marry that woman?" Leonard asked while holding back the tightness in his heart.

"Are you not going to marry her?" Is that an innocent question from Louisse or is his wife a insensitive and cold-hearted woman? Leonard is still trying to be patient.

"I don't understand the direction you're talking about Louisse and I already have you as my wife. So there's no way Duke Zacard would have so easily sent his only daughter to be a concubine." Leonard said as he clenched his hands tightly until his knuckles turned white to suppress his emotions.

"Then you must divorce me first."

The deg!!

Leonard's heart stopped at that moment. Leonard was petrified and his eyes opened wide so surprised to hear Louisse's words just now.

"Are you really saying that Louisse?! You told me to divorce you and marry that woman?! Are you crazy?!!" Eventually the emotions he was enduring finally overflowed. Leonard was really angry.

Louisse then grabbed Leonard's hand and tried to give understanding to her husband. In his mind Louisse only wanted to restore his true position like the one in the original novel's story.

"Yes, you will become Emperor, you need the political support of Duke Zacard. You've been suffering from Leonard... You married me over the control of the Queen, now you must marry in the right way and enjoy your life in peace. That way you'll live happily."

Deg!!

Leonard was astonished to hear Louisse's words as if they were easy to say and he immediately shook off Louisse's hand that was clasping his hand violently.

"Do you think that would make me happy?" Leonard said softly then he left Louisse alone with a deeply hurt look.

"Leonard...?" Louisse.

"I don't understand why you just left with a wounded look."

Seriate...
