"So they finally met huh...? I guess I've truly been excluded by those two... "
"Your majesty! This is outrageous! They are obliged to show felial peity towards you. Then not even enviting you or showing you greetings is a huge crime! "
"You must punish them your majesty! Especially that Bastard! He had never shown any love towards you and even disrespected you! "
"Enough with you two... Whatever you say they're my children. A Bastard or not he's my son... But you are right. They've committed a crime for not inviting me or consulting to me about the wedding. But don't you worry now my dear advisors because it's time for my empire to mobilize it's army once again... "
Back in Trystia...
Armista: Are you sure prince Rahim is awake?
Maximus: Of course I am. I always check up on him. I mean it's the best help I can give him. Shen and amaris won't even visit him.
Armista: After that incident? Of course they wouldn't.
Maximus: Everyone was shocked to be honest...
Armista: Let's see how shocked we are when we get inside then.
Armista slowly opened the door to prince rahim's chambers. Prince Rahim was there standing in front of them with a smirk on his face while drinking alcohol...
Rahim: Well.. Well... What do we have here? The minister of war brought me a guest.
Armista: Rahim... You look terrible.
Rahim: Even if I look terrible I'm still young and capable to do a lot of things. But you? Your already old and weak. I'm surprised father is still keeping you by his side.
Maximus: Prince rahim! Show some respect will you! He is the grand Duke of this empire and he has been building the empire up with his majesty!
Rahim: Oh minister... What do you know about building an empire? What do the both of you know about building an empire?
Armista: More than you'll ever know with that attitude.
Rahim: Why you...! Just tell me what you want!
Maximus: We want to know what happened between you and prince Damien.
Rahim: And why would anyone need to know?
Armista: You stabbed your own brother that's why.
Rahim: It was just a little argument. I really don't understand why any of you need to know about it.
Armista: Well we need to know about this because no one would ever imagine the soft and weak little prince who once trembled before his elder brother would be able to stab him in such a way.
Prince rahim angrily threw the glass of alcohol at the two ministers. As the glass slowly fell and shattered on the ground prince rahim could see that the grand Duke nor Duke Maximus even flinched. He fell into realization that he could never overpower these two when it came to ferocity and bravery...
Armista: Are you done?
Rahim: I am a prince! And I demand you to treat me like a prince!
Maximus: We were treating you like one but it's really hard to maintain our respect with your outbursts.
Rahim: What authorities do you have to treat my like this?!
Maximus: An amount of authority that you could never even achieve or acquire.
Armista: And we'd make sure to show you that once we've won your wars for you...
Tensions have been rising ever since the incident. The joy of the princesses marriage to one of the greatest warriors in the empire swiftly faded away as the terrifying incident of the two Prince's spread through the empire. Gossips about the incident circulated around each and every second. Emperor kishendren now had to figure out how to maintain the stability of the empire. But it was extremely difficult with his two eldest sons in a scandalous incident, his daughter recently getting married and her husband illl and his 3rd son was still very young. He's now been estranged with the grand Duke for a while too so he couldn't go to him for help...
Lucious: Hey amaris...
Amaris: Yeah? Why does your wound hurt?
Lucious: No it's not that...
Amaris: Then what is it then?
Lucious: When we were heading to the palace of the heirs the servants told us that the 3rd prince was there in the palace including prince rahim right...?
Amaris: Yeah? They did...? Why is it important though?
Lucious: If the 3rd prince was also there then... How come he wasn't there when we arrived?
Amaris: What...?
The silence in the chamber was louder than anything before. As it finally sinks in to both amaris and lucious that only one person could answer what happened in the incident...
Lucious: When we arrived we saw prince Damien and prince rahim there already fighting. But we never saw the 3rd prince.
Amaris: The servants said that my little brother was in his chambers resting. Don't you think that's why he wasn't there?
Lucious: Still. Considering that prince rahim allegedly came from his chambers he should've heard the two princes fight. But why didn't he come out to stop the two?
Amaris: I guess we'll find out right now lucious.
Lucious: What? What are you planning this time amaris. You have to be cautious now. Don't do anything rational think before you make a move.
Amaris: Don't worry we're just gonna ask him questions. I know my brother really well and I know if he's trying to lie to me.
Lucious: Amaris... Forget about what I said. Your brother is still very young I don't think we should drag him into this mess.
Amaris: Get ready we're going now.
Lucious: Amaris...
Amaris: Fine if you don't want to come with me I'll go my self. This incident involves already 2 of my brothers and if the only solution is to confront my little brother about it then so be it.
Lucious: Alright... I'll get ready. But please don't force your little brother to answer your questions. He's just a kid and he shouldn't even be involved in politics at this time...
