"Did you hear the news? His highness killed his lover boy with his own hands and now he is going to be announced as the emperor!" The other maids gasped with surprise as his majesty, Charles, was still only in his fifties, and most of the time, they ruled till their seventies and crown was only passed after the marriage and kids to the crown prince.
"Why so suddenly, I did not understand?" asked one when the maid who was telling the gossip looked around and then spoke in a low voice, "I have heard that he threatened his majesty with the life of her majesty. And his majesty loves her majesty more than his majesty." she looked at them with a knowing look when they all covered their wide open mouths with their hands and gasped again.
Whole palace was talking about those sudden changes. The death of Oliver and the coronation ceremony of Alex. both had brought a wave of rumors and gossip, shock and speculation not only for the staff but all over the empire.
