The first person is General Ardor Lamoreaux and the second person is Prime Minister Aaron Marvel! These two officials are both so wealthy, powerful, and influential... The Lamoreaux and Marvel families are connected through marriage... These two people are close blood relatives of Beatrix Lamoreaux, our former betrothed... How will these two people benefit from this arrangement? What is their motive?
The two princes have the same thoughts but the facts made them even more confused...
"Imperial Brother, these two people could influence our Imperial Father and Imperial Mother but why would they care about our marriage to the point of whispering to our Imperial Father and Imperial Mother to arrange it this early?" Prince Anders immediately gave his opinion.
"That is the strangest thing here... It seems that they do not have any benefit..." Prince Andrew gave his careful contemplation and explained further. "It would make sense if they suggested for one of us or even for both of us to wait for Beatrix Lamoreaux to fully recover and continue the marriage arrangement... This way, they will greatly benefit in the future; however, it seems they are doing the opposite so it does not make any sense!"
"I agree! It does not make sense which makes me think if they are truly the real person behind all of this?" Prince Anders voiced his hesitation.
"Imperial Brother, aside from those two people, who have the power, influence, and privilege to convince our Imperial Father and Imperial Mother to suddenly put both of us in this hateful situation?!!" Prince Andrew challenged his brother to prove him wrong, his anger is clearly showing now as he did not bother to mask his true feelings in front of his brother.
"Imperial Brother, chill! I am not your enemy here... Why do you seem so mad at me?" Prince Anders raised both of his hands to playfully indicate his surrender.
"I am not mad at you. I just do not want to marry another girl! I hate our situation now! I hate being forced to do what I do not want to do!" Prince Andrew explained to his brother with gritted teeth and clenched hands.
"Same here!" Prince Anders agreed and seriously asked next: "So, should we kill them now?" He smiled gently but he gave off a cruel excitement in his eyes... He is itching to teach those two people a cruel lesson! He wants to torture them slowly until they could not take it anymore and die miserably!
Prince Andrew looked at his brother who gave him a gentle smile while asking for the death of two people like he is just simply asking for two candies...
How did I forget that my Imperial Brother only looks so kind, gentle, and harmless but in reality, he is more petty, cruel, and twisted than me?
"Good idea, Imperial Brother, but not now. They will have some use in the future..." Prince Andrew replied, thinking of different ways to punish those two people if he found out that they are truly responsible for this hateful and annoying situation.
"Imperial Brother is so wise! Yes, let us do that for now!" Prince Anders replied meaningfully then smiled gently.
When they reached the age of twelve, Prince Anders accidentally found and secretly stole a special book from the Emperor's secret collections.
"Imperial Brother! Imperial Brother! I found an interesting book!" Prince Anders excitedly grinned at Prince Andrew as he approached the latter, who is so absorbed in reading a military book in his courtyard.
"What?" Prince Andrew curiously inquired as he is seeing his brother's strange and mischievous smile.
Prince Anders did not reply but placed a book on the table. He gently pushed it towards his brother... Prince Andrew glanced at the book which looks so ordinary with a very ordinary title: Feast.
"What is so special about this book? Are you asking me to study food and its preparation?" Prince Andrew curiously asked his brother as he picked up the book.
"Oh, yeah! It is a very special food which is very good for our senses! It involves proper handling, preparation, and consumption!" Prince Anders told his brother excitedly with a foolish grin on his handsome face.
Prince Andrew became so curious as to what type of book could excite his brother so much that he immediately checked the content... He was immediately welcomed by an image of a naked woman lying on the bed with a naked man on top of her! The man and woman in the image are having blissful expressions on their faces as they sensually explore their partner's body! He immediately closed the book as he feels so embarrassed after he saw the content of the book!
"Imperial Brother, do you think it is good?" Prince Anders playfully teased.
"Why do you have this book?" Prince Andrew tried to calm himself and compose his expression.
