TOGETHER WE WILL CONQUER THE WORLD (WMMAP)

Chapter Eighty-Eight: open your eyes

Felix knocked on Arthur's door room, it was nearly night time.

"Felix? What's wrong?" Arthur asked once he let Felix enter.

"The young master of Alpheaus sent me this letter anonymously." Felix said quietly.

The young prince paused and took the letter. Read it twice then thrice, he sighed.

"We'll go see him together."

"I'll pick you up near midnight." Felix said.

"Okay, I'll be ready then."

At Midnight ...

"Sir Robane, you came- your highness?!" Ijekiel was surprised to see Arthur.

Arthur pulled his hood back and said.

"I'm a bit offended you didn't send me a letter that could matter to what's going on right now. Nonetheless, I'll look past it." Arthur said, crossing his arms.

Ijekiel nodded.

"I am sorry for suddenly calling for you." The white haired boy said.

"It was surprising. However why did you send a letter to me and not his highness?"

"That's what I'd like to know as well." Arthur said. Ijekiel looked down.

"Well ... how- how are you and their highnesses?" Ijekiel asked.

"Eh? Well, we're ... good? Still shaken up but we'll get better." Arthur said.

"I see ... you as well? I've heard her highness Athanasia was in state of shock." Ijekiel said.

"Well."

The two talked a small chat. Felix took notice that-

I think the young master of Alpheaus might have some feelings for the princess ... and the prince as well?

"So what's the reason for this secret meeting? I haven't seen you or heard from you since ... ."

Since dad lost his memories. Arthur thought.

"I apologize but you see ... my father, the duke, it seems he's a bit strange. Anyone who knows him could tell. I'm sure you've also noticed?"

Arthur nodded.

"I couldn't believe he would do such a thing so of course it was definitely strange."

"Duke Alpheaus was someone who prioritized the stability of the royal power more than anything else, so it was indeed strange when he did that to the royal family." Felix said.

The two boys nodded.

"Now the nobles don't know which side to choose because of Duke Alpheaus." Arthur stated.

"Unfortunately. However, ever since ... well the previous emperor came to live at Alpheaus mansion. Slowly and slowly ... my father began to act strange."

This better not be about the time I saw the two seducing each other. Arhtur shivered mentally.

"His whole attitude and act ... it's as if he was being 'controlled'." Ijekiel said.

Felix paused.

"When did the previous emperor started living in the mansion?"

"After, their highnesses debutante ball."

"That long ... ."

If he's not lying then it means that the duke didn't save or protect the previous emperor from the very start. Felix thought.
