TOGETHER WE WILL CONQUER THE WORLD (WMMAP)

Chapter Thirty: Family Matters

"Ow."

"Dick."   

MEANWHILE IN ANOTHER EMPIRE...

"Hmm, in my past life I was so caught up with being Rezef's puppet that I forgot about my family ... maybe dear Claude and my nieces and nephew's will help me get to freedom."

The princess took out a letter and started to write with a smile on her face.

"Dear Claude,

It's been a while since I've last seen or heard of you. I hope it will be alright of you to come and visit? You see... .

I'm having some trouble and it would be wonderful if you could help-"

Arthur walked down in the hallways. He was coming back from him etiquette class with Monsieur Gabriel. About how to be a gentlemen and such. As he walked he heard noises in a room. Curious, he opened the door and saw-

Why was Athanasia trying to dance with a human size paper?

Lucas and Athanasia looked at Arthur.

"Bro, I can explain-"

Arthur closed the door and said to himself.

"I've sene nothing. I've heard nothing. I was only walking. Yeah, that's what happened."

Erasing that weird memory from his head, he headed towards Claude's office and knocked.

"Dad?"

"Come in."

Arthur came in to the smell of ink and freshly cut out papers. Surprisingly for a try at he read in the book, Claude was a very organized and a good Emperor.

"You busy?"

"No just signing some papers for the Knights Academy."

"Alright. Dad, Cayena sent a letter to you. She said she needs help."

Claude looked up.

"Is she in danger?"

"From what's written in the latter, no. More like she needs help to get the power she needs. Looks like Rezef isn't so much of a kind brother."

"A child grew to only survive and never had love. Only natural for them to become cold hearted."

Like you? Arthur thought. He gave the letter to Claude and his eyes read them word by word. He frowned, his eyes narrowing.

"Rezef is going too far."

"Obviously he got too much ego since he has a chance of getting the throne. Dad ... wouldn't it be best if Cayena takes the throne? I mean, she is the daughter of an Emperor and Empress. That's a huge benefit right? Rezef doesn't even have the Emperor's favor since he's an illegitimate child."

Claude sighed.

"Rezef thinks that becoming an Emperor means he can do anything. But that's not the case. Powers of an Emperor comes from the power and support of the nobles. Cayena stepped back because of Rezef's lies. She's the true heir to the throne but has been manipulated to leave it for Rezef." Claude placed down the letter and stood up. He walked to his son and said.

"Sureclty there are three possible people to get the throne. Cayena, Rezef and the Duke."

"That guy?! Why?!"

"He has the Emperor's lover as his hostage."

"That bastard-"

"Watch your language. His lover has a child from him."

"So he has three kids? Let me guess. He likes that kid better than Cayena and Rezef?"

"Indeed."

"... how about we pay her a visit? What better way to show you have power that hanging out with an Emperor and a prince?" Arthur smirked.

Claude smirked back.

"Your way of thinking is truly remarkable, son."

"I took it from you, didn't I?"

"It would seem so. Felix."

"Yes, your majesty?"

"Prepare a carriage. We're paying Dear Cayena a visit."

"I'll arrange that in a minute, your majesty."

LATER...

"Is she okay?"

"Why can't we come?"

"Isn't it dangerous?"

"Woah, woah, woah. We'll only be gone for a few days. Cayena needs a little help form dad and I'm just tagging along." Arthur said, reassuring his sisters.

"But why can't we come?" Athanasia asked, her arms crossed over her chest.

"You need to find a partner-"

"Dad will be my partner."

"WHAT?!"

"I knew it! Told ya!"

"Dammit!"

"Arthur, it's time to go."

"Right, right. Bye girls."

"Be safe!"

The two sisters waved at their father and brother. Claude and Arthur wore their best outfits and took at least 50 royal knights and 20 maids with them. Gifts were taken for Cayena and had planned their best way to put Rezef and other disciple faiths that dared to harm her.
