Throne For Princes In Novels

Ep. 38 Suspicious

That night Leonard's mind was completely upset, the story that Redian brought after being in charge of escorting Louisse really affected his brain and heart. Between having to believe or having to be suspicious of Louisse who always said believe in him? And also a feeling of jealousy. In order to calm his mind to keep thinking clearly, Leonard needed a bit of impingement. Then these nights he chose to vent on his sword. He purposely trained at night in the deserted knight training ground with no one there. Leonard clasped his sword with thoughts and emotions raging through his mind.

"I need to clear my brain to think well. Since childhood Louisse and Oscar have been close like a brother and sister. A little outrageous joking was common to them. This rumor will definitely not spread widely because I already know ahead of Redian. But if the rumors like the ones at the party said that time were true.... Can I still trust you Louisse?"

Leonard dropped his sword just like that and rested, his head bowed with a face like a broken man. He was just a fragile man when it came to dealing with Louisse. And without realizing it, there was someone watching him with a grin on his lips, as if he was enjoying a pleasant spectacle.

"I can't do anything to a diary that's been snatched up before I know what it is. Since there is something more interesting then it is no longer a problem for me. I was curious... In the future, how are the three people related?" Doha muttered with a smirk when he saw Leonard feeling heartbroken that night.

Meanwhile at Louisse's palace, Edmund returned rather late, he was late to return to Princess Israna because he had to solve the problem earlier this afternoon with the street robbers. Louisse who knew Edmund had come back quickly to him.

"Ah, sir Edmund! You are back?! I'm worried because until this barrel you haven't come back, are you okay sir?" Louisse asked with his worried face.

"I'm sorry, I'm late for getting lost." Edmund replied with concern because without him guessing he still found Louisse still awake these nights.

"Huuffs... Thank goodness, then I can sleep in peace." Said Louisse while yawning.

"Could Your Majesty have been waiting for me from earlier?" Edmund asked half in disbelief, how could a Princess willingly not sleep just because waiting for a personal bodyguard who had not returned late at night?

"Should you ask that? How am I supposed to sleep peacefully if my personal bodyguard hasn't returned safely?" Louisse answered with his sleepy eyes.

"Because my worries had disappeared, I became sleepy. You should rest now, too. See you tomorrow." Louisse then walked back to his room.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Edmund answered while looking down respectfully and staring at Louisse's back away. One of Edmund's hands from earlier he put it behind his back as if he was hiding something there. It was Louisse's diary book that he had snatched from the street robbers earlier. And so the night of drama passed.

In the morning there was a small commotion in Prince Oscar's study.

"Your Majesty! How can you get all zero in history lessons?! Isn't this a subject you like?!" Shouted the tutor who had been in charge of the education of the successor of Prince Oscar.

"Either... I can't answer any hehehe..." Oscar pretends to be stupid.

"What?!" The tutor was surprised by Oscar's reply.

"The lesson is to get here, teacher... I'm not powered..." Whine Oscar while dropping his head on the table.

"Oh, my Majesty!!" Shouted the tutor in disbelief that Oscar would do just that.

"God... Why have you not had the passion to learn lately?! If Her Majesty finds out about this you could be in trouble!" The Oscar tutor rambled and nagged here and there that none of his words were uttered by Oscar. It was precisely at such a time that his brother's words were ringing in his ears... "Oscars... There must be someone or something you have to protect as well right? Think carefully about it, and you'll find the answer for yourself."

Later in the day Oscar deliberately lounged and chose to play kite with Louisse in the backyard of the palace.

"Hey, would it not matter if you laze around and play like this?" Louisse asked Oscar.

"You always said you were busy studying every day." Louisse.

"Now it doesn't matter because I have a lot of free time. And I've stopped learning to be a successor." Oscar's heart relaxed while raising his kite thread.

"What?!!" Louisse was so surprised.

"Did the Queen let you do that?" Louisse asked curiously.

"Where is it possible? We even had a big fight because of that. But brother does not need to worry, mother has let go even if forced. It would seem strange if I only got a successful education while the election of the Crown Prince has not happened yet. The son of His Majesty the Emperor is not just me, brother Leon has returned, I do not want to herd misunderstandings in public." Answer Oscar calmly while enjoying the breeze that blows between the trees and the flower beds.

"Originally you know yes... I'm fed up with political rivalries that make heads dizzy. I just want to live well and play where my brother works hard to take care of the country." Oscar replied.

"Haha... You always wanted to be good." Louisse said with a laugh.

"There is a sister..." Oscar the bodo.

"I'm the same... After getting a big compensation money, I just want to live peacefully in a small town and play forever." Louisse said blankly to the sky.

"Pensitive money?" Oscar stared at Louisse.

"Don't tell me Isse's sister is getting divorced from Leon's sister!" Guess Oscar with a sharp look towards Louisse.

"Something will happen then..." Louisse Sahut.

"But why?" Ask Oscar not to understand.

"Try to think and answer honestly, will the daughter of a low-status Baron like me be a match for the heir to the throne?" Ask Louisse seriously.

"Wouldn't it be better if the heir to the throne marries the daughter of an influential high ranking noble? After all, His Majesty the Emperor seems to have planned something for the matter." Louisse then continued.

"Yeah... You could say that anyway, but Leon's brother definitely doesn't want a divorce." Oscar said as if he knew that his brother would not be able to divorce his wife.

"For what reason would Leonard not divorce me?" Louisse asked with his face. Or you could say... INSENSITIVE!

"How could Isse's sister ask that with a face like that?" Said Oscar while shaking his head.

"Why indeed? Ask Louisse again.

"Yes God... Don't tell me all this time Isse didn't know about Leon's feelings all along? That seems so obvious." Inner Oscar with a face of disbelief.

"Sister, lest Isse's brother all this time don't know if Leon's brother su..."

"Oscars! Look there!" Not finished Oscar said it, suddenly Louisse cut his words while pointing to a large tree not too far from them standing.

"Isn't that what's behind the tree Leonard? Why would he have to hide like that there?" Louisse was still pointing towards the tree.

"Where? Ah, those?! Seems right. Why is that brother like that?" Oscar asked when he saw his brother hiding behind a tree while peeking at them.

"Either... He thinks that by hiding like that we can't see him? We'd better call him." Louisse.

"Hey... Loooonaard...!!"

"Sir Leooonn..!!"

Hearing the cries of Louisse and Oscar calling his name, Leonard dodged and hid behind the tree again.

"Kok she just kept quiet not telling me at all? Ah, I know! He must be craving again because we're just playing together without asking him." Louisse replied confidently and it immediately made Oscar gawk in disbelief.

"Huhhh??!"
