"How is he doing?" Prince Asher asks his older brother. 10 years has passed since Reiko ascended to the throne. Their brother is busy taking back all the countries that their Empire lost when their father and great grandfather were in rule.

"He got a minor injury, that's all but he is alright" Sagot ni Aurelius tsaka siya naupo kasama ang kaniyang dalawang kapatid.

"He's injured? That is a suprise. What happened?" Tanong ni Clovis. Obviously because of their strong physical ability, injury are impossible for them. Clovis once tried to let Eguzki stab him with a knife. But the knife broke and it didn't pierce through him.

That's why making all weapons are only allowed in Palace. They use the Granzreich as their own test subject on making weapons.

This is also where Clovis started to get rebellious. All his brother are not around the Palace, his relationship with them gotten weaker.

"A bomb got into his ship. He tried to throw it but it exploded on his hand" Clovis shrug his shoulder upon hearing that.

"It gets harder sometimes, it's only the two of us who commands everything. Plus those annoying advisors of his" A lot of noble families look down on Reiko because of what happened from his grandfather and to his father who only ascended to the throne because he killed his brother. People started to rally outside the Palace. Everything in chaos.

"We can help him now. Prince Clovis is in right age" Pag kumbinsi ni Asher sa kaniyang kuya habang tahimik lang na nag babasa si Clovis.

Sa kanilang tatlo kasi, si Aurelius pa lang ang pinapayagan ng Emperor na sumama sa mga affairs ng Empire. Asher is just starting but still not allowed to go into wars even though they all trained the same way.

"I thought he plans on keeping us here?" Asher rolled his eyes because of what Clovis said.

"Clovis we also did the same. Everyone in the Granzreich Clan will only participate when we turned 25" Pag explain niya kay Clovis.

"I know, but the Emperor can change that. He is the highest authority here" Napailing na lang si Asher sa sagot ni Clovis.

"Maybe I can do a better job if I'm the Emperor" Bulong ni Clovis pero narinig ito ng mga kapatid niya. Tumayo si Asher at lalapit sana kay Clovis pero napigilan siya ni Aurelius.

"You can try Prince Clovis" A strong aura is emitting from Prince Aurelius right now. Si Clovis na nakahiga sa sofa ay napatayo. Kahit si Asher ay ramdam ang higpit ng kapit ni Aurelius sa braso niya.

"Right now, I'm the crown prince. So if any one of you tried to take the throne from Emperor Reiko, like what our father did. You have to take me first" Napatahimik ang kwarto sa sinabi ni Aurelius.

"Because if I found out about your treason, I will not show mercy and kill you myself" Si Asher na ang humawak kay Aurelius dahil sa babala nito kay Clovis.

Tumayo si Clovis at nag lakad. "I was just joking. I'm the youngest here, how can I take the throne? You take everything seriously, tsk." Sabi nito at tsaka lumabas ng kwarto.

"Prince Asher. Get ready, the Emperor will need us in a few days" Sabay alis ni Aurelius sa kamay ni Asher na nakahawak sa kaniya.
