Chapter 35 - Imperial Blood

IZAAK'S POV

'' Greetings to the sun and owner of Silver Throne, First Aster In your Service,'' I bowed in respect in front of the Emperor who looked puzzled by my sudden polite greeting.

'' This type of greeting doesn't suit you. Just state your business and leave.'' He said coldly. I smiled and spoke, '' Your Majesty, I want to join Dhakun.'' Emperor looked at me with shocked eyes. He asked me, '' Dhakun? Suddenly?'' I nod and rose my hand acting harmless, '' I won't be able to inherit the throne anyway but graduating from Dhakun will let me live a comfortable life at the very least.'' Emperor frowned and again asked, '' You really won't fight over the throne?'' Fighting over something that already belongs to me is stupid but my dear father, I won't expose my claws yet.

'' I am the person who is directly mentioned in the oracle which appeared after 14 years and suddenly that gives me The Grand Temples' direct support and no way those imperialists who love to keep Grand Temple away from influencing the Imperial Family will let me sit over the throne. I rather live a calm life behind the screen as the hidden leader of White Wolf at the end.''

Emperor tried to find an ounce of lie in my words but I bet he couldn't understand a thing. Judging by his expression it was clear that he believed that I wasn't lying. He took a piece of silver paper and wrote something on that. I smirked when I read the content of that,

' FIRST ASTER IZAAK GABRIAL DE AMANSO WILL BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND DHAKUN AND ENJOY THE RIGHTS OF THE FIRST ASTER ATTENDING THE ACADEMY.'

He looked at me coldly and gave that to me while saying, '' I might be letting you attend Dhakun but I will call you to fulfill your spot as the leader of White Wolf whenever I need you.'' I smiled and bowed, '' I am grateful for your consideration.''

Emperor didn't say anything rather kept staring at me and asked, '' Your silver hair, why did you hide it so far?'' I was thinking why he hadn't asked me anything till now but here he goes. I glanced at his silver hair and red eyes which looked just like mine. I gulped and looked away. '' First Aster, Why aren't you answering me? Why did you hide the fact that you have silver hair?'' He sounded desperate, I wonder why? I let out a bitter chuckle and looked at his eyes directly, '' Because I hate the fact that I resemble you more than my mother with these silver hairs because I was desperate to live away from the cruel gaze of Empress and Second Queen. Your Majesty, These Silver Hairs Make Me Suffocate.''

His eyes had hints of hurting in them, Why? Did truth hurt him? Even if it did, that doesn't matter to me. He parted his lips to say something but looked away, '' Leave.''

I nod and turned my back to leave his room. He looked hurt and calmer than ever while talking to me. Is that because of witnessing my power directly yesterday? Funny! Scared of his son? I looked at the Silver Paper in my hand which only The Emperor can use and grinned, Give up on my rights to sit on the throne? If it was a few days ago I could say that I don't have 100 percent interest in ruling this Empire rather I plan to destroy this whole Imperial Family but not anymore. Because, there is someone whom I want to give the best in this world, someone whom I want to make the noblest woman in the land.

Valentiara, You can push me away as much as you want because of your fears, you might be cursed but I will surely find a way to destroy that curse because I want to love you with all of my heart without you pushing me away. For that, I need to find the wielder of Light Power and Dhakun will be the easiest way to do so.

Dhakun, the third pillar of the Empire De Amanso, has branches all around the land in every sector. The easiest and most effective way to come in contact with various people is only possible through the network of Dhakun.

'' Your Highness Izaak!'' I heard Aiden calling my name. I turned my head and saw him running at full speed. Did something happen? Aiden stood in front of me while panting heavily. '' Why are you running like a crazy freak?'' I asked him while patting his back. He shook his head and spoke, '' Hig-High Priest is waiting for you.'' I frowned, '' High Priest? '' He nodded and took a deep breath, '' He is currently in the Moon Palace.'' I scoffed, '' Never knew High Priest was such a man. Let's go.''

I took a shortcut to the Moon Palace. High Priest didn't even make any prior appoinment and came here? Is he that much impatient about meeting me? Maybe. But I still don't know if he is an ally or foe, so taking extra steps won't harm.
