"Who do you think is that person that they're talking about? Also, which place are they talking about?" Lea asked me.
"I'm also curious… not only because of the person or the place that they're talking about, but this whole thing," I said.
"What do you mean?" she asked me.
"Look, ever since we're little, they've been teaching us etiquette, political events, swordsmanship, and many more that we don't even need here because there's only a few places that have queens or kings that rule the entire place," I said.
"I know brother Louis… I'm also curious as to why we need to wear such clothes like ball gowns and such even though there's no event," she replied.
"Do you know why our grandparents die? Or if they're still alive?" Jason asked.
"No… and if we're asking them, they're not answering it and making excuses," Yuuto said.
"But I'm much more curious as to why are the Dark Empire targeting this empire even though it doesn't have a lot of people living here and no one even knows that this empire exist, well, it is a fact that only the gangsters and mafias only knew about the other empire, but why does no one from the gangsters and mafias knows about this empire?" Axel said.
"You're right, but if we ask our parents, they will not answer us," Liam said.
"Ayumi, do you know something?" Yuuma asked her.
"Yes… every knight knows about that secret, but if you're going to ask me to open the lid, I will not do it because it is one of the rules for us, knights, to follow… and so do the assassins," she said.
"But why does it look like Yui doesn't have a clue about it even though she is the empress of this empire?" Jason asked.
"Maybe because aunt Jei-Jei did not teach her about that," she replied.
"While your parents are choosing the knights who are going to face hell, we should still attend classes, right?" Ayumi continued.
"But we can't leave Yui here," Liam said.
"But we can't also leave our studies behind," Jason said.
"All of you can go back to school and finish your studies… we will look after Yui and the things that she left or her duties as the empress of this empire" I said.
"No, I will stay… you can all go back, I will also be the one who will do Yui's duties," Liam said.
"But brother~" Lea said but was cut off by Liam.
"I will take over her position until the day that she has recovered," Liam said.
"Captain, the letters have arrived, and there's a special letter from them," the butler told Michael.
"Prince Liam, those letters need her highness's stamp, but only the emperor or the empress can activate that stamp," Michael said.
"Lead the way," Laim said, then Michael and Rui lead him to her office,
"Lea?" I said. She looked at me.
"Why, brother?" she asked me.
"What is that secret letter that she's been receiving recently?" I asked her.
"I don't know, maybe it is related to her duty?" she replied.
"Brother Louis, we will go ahead now, we will visit her again tomorrow, after school," Axel told me.
"Okay, drive safely," I told them before they left the room.
"Lea, you should rest now, you will give birth in a few weeks or so, that's why you should rest and don't think about the problems that's surrounding this empire, we will handle it immediately," I told my sister.
"Okay, brother… but can you make sure that no one will be able to go in and out of the empire and that everything will go smoothly until Yui wakes up?" she said.
"I'll be staying here for a few weeks because you're almost due and it is our duty to look after her until they are defeated right? So don't worry and rest now," I told her, then escorted her to her bed.
"Make sure that you will be at the princess's side until she's ready to give birth, okay?" I said to the maid.
"Yes, your highness," they said.
"I will leave now sister… I will roam around the empire to make sure that it is safe," I told her before I left her room.
"Your highness, the spy from the dark empire gave me this letter, which came out from nowhere," one of the butlers said.
"Thank you," I said, then I get the letter from him before walking towards Yui's office,
I knocked at the door.
"Your highness, what are you doing here?" the head butler looked at me with shock on his face. Well it really is a shock for him because I stopped coming here after aunt Jei-Jei went missing.
"I am here to speak with my brother," I said.
"Wait for a while your highness, I will ask his majesty for permission," he said before closing the door.
After a few seconds, the door opened again.
"You may come in, your highness," he said, then opened the door wide enough for me to enter.
"What is it, brother?" he asked me.
"Brother, a letter came from the dark empire," I said before handing him the letter. He opened the envelope, but he threw it out the window immediately, then it exploded.
"Why did the letter explode? And how did you know that it will explode," I asked him.
"Because a letter that came a while ago indicates that if the dark empire sent us a letter, I should open the envelope, then I should throw it out the window immediately," he casually said.
"Your majesty, what happened? We heard an explosion a while ago," Fire said.
"Dark empire did that… also, you're supposed to guard the laboratory, right? You shouldn't have left the door of her laboratory because the enemy will get her!" Liam said.
"I'll retreat, your majesty," Fire said, then disappeared out of nowhere, again.
The assassins of the empire are disappearing and appearing out of nowhere. I don't know how they're doing it, but I want to know how to disappear from your enemy's sight.
"Your majesty! The empress is not in her laboratory!" Fire said. Popping out of nowhere.
"That's why I told you not to leave her laboratory's door hanging! Search the area, I know that they're still inside the empire!" Liam shouted.
"I told you, your majesty… that letter is not lying," the head butler said.
What does the head butler, the knights, the maids, and the assassins know that we, royalties, don't even know?
