Chapter 16
"What do you think, Your Imperial Majesty?"
Eunice looked at Sigyn who's sitting on the biggest chair at the end of the table. Tumaas ang kilay niya sa pagtataka when she saw her older sister looking at something under the table.
"Your Imperial Majesty?" One of the nobles called her attention. Napalunok pa siya sa takot na mainis ang kanilang Empress.
Sigyn looked up at them, suddenly slamming a paper down at the table. They all peered at the paper in nervousness and curiosity. Maging si Eunice ay nakisilip din.
She froze, blinking as a smile formed on her lips when she saw what it was. Ni hindi niya man lang napansin na isinama pala iyon ng ate niya sa meeting.
"Isn't this Loki's writings?" Nilingon siya ni Eunice, a small teasing smile plastered on her lips. "I didn't know you have this with you all the time, Your Majesty."
Sigyn only glared at her sister who tried her best not to laugh.
"Loki?" Kitang-kita ang pagtataka sa mukha ng mga nobles.
"May I ask who this Loki is?" One noble raised his hand.
"He's the Youngest Imperial Prince of our empire, Aileth Morana di Lokesio." Eunice beamed.
All of the nobles with them froze in shock. Their jaws dropped. They slowly looked at Sigyn who's coldly looking at them, chin on her palm. Almost all of them stood up in a hurry, bowing at their Empress in fear.
"How dare we call the Youngest Imperial Prince with only his name? We asked for Her Imperial Majesty's mercy. We didn't know our place that made us commit such sin." One of the nobles spoke.
Eunice giggled. "It's alright. Alam naman ni Her Majesty na hindi na-public announce ang bunso niyang anak so we'll let this pass. Go on, sit." She waved her hand.
Sinunod naman nila iyon, slowly and cautiously glancing at their ruler who remained quiet.
"How old is he, Your Grace?" Duke Ezackart, the current Commander of the Imperial Knights, asked Eunice who happily answered his question.
"He's currently 5. See how smart he is to be able to write at such a young age?" She carefully grabbed the paper, showing him the writing of Loki's. "Wala pang nagturo sa kaniya, ha. He learned all by himself gamit ang mga libro." She proudly stated.
"He must be a genius." Duke Lerwis smiled.
"But... Isn't that impossible?" One of the Counts asked.
He suddenly felt shivers all over his body. Why does it feel like he's entering death bed? It's making him sweaty and nervous all of a sudden.
"Are you telling me that it's impossible even for my son?"
Almost everyone flinched when they heard Sigyn's voice. When they whipped their heads to look at her, her eyebrows arched while her purple eyes were shining with coldness. It was blank. That was the reason why they all became nervous.
"I m-mean, it's impossible f-for other kids but I'm s-sure it's not impossible for the Y-youngest Imperial Prince, Your Imperial Majesty." He chuckled.
Even the other nobles tried to laugh, afraid to leave the room with one bloodied body. Maybe not just one if they angered her.
"He is Her Majesty's son so of course he is a genius."
Sumang-ayon naman ang lahat though most of them did that to survive. They still think it is impossible, pwera na lang kung kapareho siya ng panganay na anak ng kanilang Empress.
