Episode 17: What’s My Happiness?

Clattering, Clattering. The eating room of the Ludwig fortress, with solely the sound of spoons hitting the bowl, was on the verge of exploding with the unusual stress felt between Kailos and Raymond.

“Why don’t you’ve the carriage prepared upfront? It’s already very late.”

“You don’t must, brother. Tonight, I’m going to remain on the fortress.”

Clank. Kailos stopped consuming and put the spoon down. Then, with a brief sigh, he checked out Raymond silently.

“An individual with quite a lot of work goes to go away the Imperial Palace?”

“It will be okay to go away work in another person’s fingers for a number of days. I’ve given my subordinates the seal in the meanwhile”

Raymond lifted the wine glass in an informal response. It wasn’t a mild impression at first, however after I checked out Kailos, I felt that his gaze was notably ferocious,

“Your Majesty, I’m sorry to let you know, however the scenario of the Duchy shouldn’t be good proper now. There’s a sick…..”

“Yeah, that’s proper. Chloe.”

Straight away, the eyes of the 2 males turned to me. froze with a knife in a single hand and a fork within the different.

“I’m going to remain right here till Chloe will get higher, brother.”

“What’s that….”

Kailos’ face was dyed with embarrassment.

“Her complexion seems to be higher than earlier than.”

Raymond checked out me and smiled.

“Don’t fear, quickly the physician will come from the Imperial Palace.”

“I’m tremendous, Your Majesty. The physician can also be within the fortress, and it doesn’t damage that a lot.”

I awkwardly rolled up the corners of my mouth in the direction of Raymond.

“Then I received’t name the physician. However I haven’t heard your reply but.”

“Reply?”

Raymond’s purple eyes stared at me at my query. It was eyes filled with need to say one thing. Solely then did I notice the reply he wished to listen to belatedly.

‘Are you content now?’

I keep in mind that I couldn’t reply him when he requested me about my happiness. I remembered that his voice was critical as he requested, so I bit my decrease lip.

Though he mentioned it was a query with out a lot that means, I couldn’t reply simply due to the overlapping picture of him wishing for my happiness prior to now with the present one. My coronary heart felt heavy as a result of my reply appeared to deceive him.

Kailos, who was watching me silently, narrowed his eyes.

After dinner, we went again to our respective rooms, and Kailos got here to see me individually. Raymond, who recklessly compelled himself to stay within the duke’s fortress, gave him a headache.

“Fairly Chloe, what did you speak about with the emperor?”

“There wasn’t a lot to speak about.”

I didn’t need to speak to him very a lot, so I answered bluntly.

“Anyway, I suppose you each talked about one thing, Why are you hiding it from me?”

“It’s a narrative that Mr. Kailos doesn’t have to know.”

“There’s nothing I don’t have to learn about your private data.”

“Why? Do it’s a must to use me to seduce the Emperor?”

“It’s not like that!”

Indignant, he groaned and grabbed each of my wrists. Simply touching his pores and skin made me sick and I attempted to shake it off, however my weak wrists couldn’t beat him.

“I informed you, Chloe. I’m in love with you.”

“Cease saying nonsense! That may’t be true. I and Mr. Kailos know that!”

“Why doesn’t that make sense?”

“You’re…!”

Nonetheless having my each wrists held by him, I clenched my tooth and stared at him.

“Have you ever ever wished for my happiness?”

“…I hope. Now, like loopy.”

“Lies.”

There was no joke as humorous as saying that he wished my happiness. No less than as far as I do know. If he actually wished my happiness, if he did…….

“Kailos, you’ve by no means wished my happiness.”

“Simply be sincere, you’ve one thing else you need.”

His fingers, holding my wrist, fell helplessly down. Kailos muttered in a misplaced voice.

“I informed you. All I would like is your coronary heart.”

“Didn’t you ask me to seduce the emperor?”

“It’s… It’s positively my mistake, Chloe. I remorse having you do such a factor.”

Seeing his disgustingly distorted face, I couldn’t cover my scorn.

“However what do I do about this? I’ve already spent the night time with the emperor.”

“…… That’s why I’m attempting to show every thing again now.”

There have been purple hand marks on each of my wrists caught by Kailos. I used to be slightly irritated to assume that I’d get bruises by tomorrow.

“You’re going to take it again?”

It was humorous. I can’t imagine he takes it again….. Even when it was all of your mistake, it was already irreversible. Estelle, my little Estelle is already……

“So Chloe, please give me an opportunity.”

He knelt down in entrance of me and hung as if pleading.

“This time, I’ll actually make you content. Even when I danger every thing….”

This time, the phrases gave me confidence.

“You’re going to make me completely happy this time?”

“Sure.”

“How will you make me completely happy?”

“That’s….”

“You at all times wished to be the emperor.”

After I requested, as a result of he hesitated, he replied with out hesitation.

“No, that doesn’t matter anymore.”

“It’s not essential?”

“Sure.”

“You used to assume it was essential.”

“It’s not anymore. Nothing is extra essential than you, Chloe.”

It was such a determined voice that it was onerous to inform whether or not it was honest or a lie. It was clear that Kailos had gone loopy.

“Then, what’s my happiness?”

He didn’t have a fast reply to the query that got here out of nowhere.

“How are you going to make me completely happy with out realizing what happiness is?”

“…Household.”

Kailos managed to seize my hem and say.

“You’ve at all times wished a household.”

“I can be your loved ones. I’ll turn into a household that can by no means go away your facet.”

Hahaha, I burst out laughing. What do you imply household? Household…….

“What I would like is a household?”

“Sure.”

“Why… Why did you assume so..?”

A voice combined with weeping trembled thinly and flowed out. Kailos drooped at my ft, regarded up at me with a moist face and purple eyes.

“Since we first met, you wished heat, you’ve been ready for somebody who won’t ever let go of you.”

Oh, you knew that, what I would like, what I at all times wished. He knew every thing from the start.

How can I like you once more who deceived me?

“Then why did you try this?”

“Chloe…”

“Why, why did you are taking Estelle away from me?”

Kailos couldn’t say something and simply checked out me and shed silent tears. I simply wished to trample on that crying face, pretending to be pitiful.

“You knew that she was the one one for me.”

“…You’re again, Chloe.”

Half a beat late, he mumbled, recognizing the scenario. Listening to the muttering, evidently, like me, he had already guessed. We knew about one another’s return.

“Isn’t it humorous that somebody who did that now needs my happiness?”

“Chloe, I…… …..”

“I hate you, Uncle.”

“I hope you’ll be sad for the remainder of your life.”

I stepped again from him, wanting up at me in useless, and managed myself.

“I need to wrench your neck.”

I didn’t really feel sorry for him crying endlessly, it was abominable. I simply wished to be indignant about how dare he shed tears in entrance of me.

“I’ll ask you one factor.”

“…something.”

“What occurred to Estelle?”

He requested me to ask something, however after I requested him, he couldn’t reply.

“Did you actually kill Estelle?”

I laughed at his unanswered look. It was unusual, clearly, the sentiments I really feel now are destructive, however why am I laughing?

“You’re actually, a son of a b*tch.”

The previous Empress of the Asta Empire was a princess from the nation of Evran. There have been a number of emperors who married princesses of different international locations earlier than, however the individuals in fact didn’t welcome the empresses from different international locations.

In such a scenario, if the connection between the couple is sweet, the recognition of the imperial household will lower. Thus, the emperor usually introduced in mistresses for political causes, as was the case with Kailos Ludwig’s mom.

Kailos Ludwig, who’s mom was the Emperor’s mistress, was the Emperor’s illegitimate little one. His mom was the one little one of Grand Duke Ludwig, Grand Duke Ludwig, who had no son, identified the illegitimate little one of the Emperor, born by his daughter, as his successor.

When Grand Duke Ludwig died of sickness, Kailos Ludwig succeeded him on the younger age of fifteen

Some time later, a person got here to Kailos.

“Mother, I simply heard a really unusual factor.”

“What do you imply unusual?”

“A person got here to the Duchy and claimed that he was my organic father.”

“Did that occur?” his mom requested in a well mannered tone, “The place is the person now?”

Then she caught the person, who claimed to be kailos’ father, and killed him on the spot.

“Now I’m going to sleep with my ft stretched out. I’ve been looking out in every single place for fifteen years to search out this man, I can’t imagine he was hiding in such rural land.”

Within the bloody house, his mom regarded down on the useless man’s physique and laughed softly.

“Who is that this man?”

“Who’s he? He’s your organic father.”

“Isn’t my organic father His Majesty the emperor?”

Younger Kailos was extra startled by the truth that he was not the organic little one of the Emperor than his slender mom killing a person with out hesitation.

“Give it some thought, is there any resemblance between His Majesty and also you?”

Kailos recalled the emperor he had generally known as his organic father. It was a father-child relationship with no resemblance from his hair to his toes, as his mom mentioned.
