A. N. : This is the edited version of Chapter 4!! Please do read this so that the next chapters makes sense to you, or otherwise it will just be some random chapters that don't connect with each other.

I know, the editing and everything else is taking way too much time than it should, but please also remember that I'm also changing and adding new things that weren't previously there to add to the depth of the story and plot on the whole.

As much as it also affects both me and you, I'm trying to write a better story than before so that you can actually enjoy re-reading it.

Also, I think I found out about something i shouldn't have and now I'm regretting even ever trying to find things on my own. (⁠ ⁠;⁠∀⁠;⁠)

Have a happy reading, and for all the support and love all you lovely readers have shown me and tl my book(s), I'm utterly grateful for all and whatever efforts and help you put !! (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠。⁠*⁠♡

The twins, Apollo and Srea still weren't able to meet with their older brother, with the change in his attitude and then a murder. The red heads were in their class with their teacher, too tired from being flocked around with knights and maids, but too curious about how things were in the Caeles Palace.

Srea looked at her twin who had the same questions in his mind.

"Teacher, why is elder brother Hayes not staying here with us?" The younger of the twins asked.

"Well, that is a question only the Emperor can answer Your Highnesses, I'm just your teacher so, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to be telling you any of this." Lady Nyx, Apollo and Srea's teacher, calmly stated; she too was no foreigner to how the things in the Imperial Palace worked, but her position currently wouldn't allow her to speak anything.

After all, she was from a fallen noble family that the Emperor had been kind enough to give the chance to work as the youngest royals teacher.

Apollo looked at the door, and then back at his twin before making a run for their father's office. Yes, maybe they would get scolded for running out of the class like that, but they needed to know why their brother didn't come to live with them, if the murder of the butler was such a serious thing.

Lady Nyx looked at the two red heads that ran out of the room and sighed for the nth time; she gathered all her books and stationery before walking out of the room as the guards greeted her and escorted her to the carriage.

Nobody had been unkind to her, but as a person who had stayed in the capital for long before being banished to the countryside; Lady Nyx could tell, the servants and the people of the Imperial Palace definitely had her in their suspect list.

Of course, she hadn't done it, Lady Celestine Hattie Nyx, the sole heir of now a fallen noble family, wasn't stupid enough to plan a murder of someone so close to the Emperor.

Yes, she resented the imperial family, but that didn't mean Celestine was dumb enough to make the same mistake as her father.

Celestine Hattie Nyx's father, Lyon Hattie Nyx had attempted to form a coup, assassinate Emperor Alexander and take over the empire, but as they say, what's bound to happen, indeed happens, no matter how much we try to avoid it.

Lyon Hattie Nyx was captured and hanged with the charge of treason and attempted assassination of the emperor; Celestine and her mother were forgiven as there was no evidence that they were involved, but they had to leave the capital and settle in the countryside.
