Feelings

I-21

"Did you really think, that you could beat me that easily?"

The Emperor sighed in defeat. His middle-child who had been thrown towards the wall, colliding his head and the wall's surface, is now unconscious and it was done by his own younger brother, without any thought. The Emperor knew that his youngest did not do it on purpose. But seeing his son's body doing it, made him feel great amounts of anger rising inside of him. He is an Emperor he should be able to stop himself from doing such a thing while he is full of anger. He doesn't want to lose control of his temper. That would be bad for his reputation. But because his conscience knew no one else was watching, meaning no one could talk about the situation and no one would be gossiping around with the situation. He shouts in anger, he shouts some sort of battle cry. And heads towards Dream and his poor son. While the Emperor was running at them. Dream made such idiotic threats that he wouldn't actually do.

"Don't come any closer! I'll kill him if you do!" Dream repeats everytime he sees him get closer than ever. But he didn't stop. Nothing will stop him. Not even his eldest son's words would be able to.

"Father! Don't!" His eldest would shout. With traces of fear in his voice. He was scared that his family would get hurt. He was scared for Prince Tommy and his father, Emperor Philza. But the Emperor told himself over and over. Nothing will stop him. Not even his eldest son's words would be able to. He continues heading towards Dream, who was still making those idiotic threats. The Emperor knew that Dream wouldn't kill his youngest because they still needed him. His youngest son had a purpose to the corrupted mind of Dream and the Egg.

He stops heading towards them. Dream placed a sword to his youngest's neck.

"Beg me not to do this, your Majesty." Dream quirks.

"You wouldn't do such a thing. You need him for your futile ambitions. You wouldn't dare to remove the main event of your plans. You wouldn't succeed without it." Emperor Philza replied. Acid lacing his voice. Burning through Dream's pride and confidence. Dream stopped doing anything for a few seconds. He took off his mask. And stared at the Emperor with his bright green eyes. The Emperor looked away. He did not know what Dream was doing. But he swore that he saw the man's eyes glow brighter. He felt the man look away from him. He turned his gaze back at Dream whose eyes were not glowing anymore. Though, he noticed Prince Tommy's glowed a bright green instead of his natural ocean blue eyes.

"What have you done to my son!" The Emperor shouted after observing his son.

"With me controlling him further. My powers become even more powerful. Making my powers inevitable!" Dream sent him an even wider grin. Prince Tommy turned his gaze to the Emperor and gave the same grin that Dream sent the man. He gasped in shock at what his son just did.

"You don't have power when compared to me, your Majesty." Prince Tommy and Dream said at the same time. "Yes you might be higher than us based on the position of power. But you can't always control whoever you rule over. Unlike me, I can fully control whoever I rule over."

Both advanced at step. And sent another foot ahead. Both heading towards the 'powerless' Emperor. "You're weak, father. Might as well give the throne to me?" Prince Tommy's voiced chuckled. The Emperor knew that wasn't his actual son, but it felt so real. "Shut up. I don't know why I ever considered you as my son! You have been a pain to care for! And you took away my beloved queen! I wish you were never even born!" The Emperor snapped. Prince Wilbur snapped awake at the shouts of a stressed and angry father. Which was his father snapping at his younger brother. And at the moment the Emperor started saying such vulgar statements. Dream had given Prince Tommy control.

Prince Tommy's eyes widened. Now the ocean blue they normally were. Tears formed in his eyes. His father hated him. He didn't even want him alive! He backed away from his father. His father's expression turned from anger to worry. "Tommy? I didn't mean that!" He tried to put his words back into his mouth. But the damage has been done. Dream placed his hands on Tommy's shoulders and whispered. "I told you so, your highness. Your father doesn't care. Only I and the egg do." The whisper was audible throughout the room. For it was quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

"That isn't true!" Prince Wilbur shouts heading towards his father's side. "Oh but it is..." Dream trails off. But his hands still on Tommy's shoulders. Made Wilbur feel fury rising inside him. "It's not! Tommy you know that I took care of you! I didn't stop thinking about you every minute of my life." Wilbur held his hand towards Tommy. But Tommy looked down. "You were gone for a few years..." Tommy had muttered. But of course it was heard by everyone. "But I--" "Prince Tommy... Why not just help me and the egg? We have already helped you by caring for you!" Dream stated. Massaging the Prince's shoulders to make him calmer. It normally wouldn't work because that is not how everybody experiences when people do it. Sometimes people would feel discomfort sometimes it would feel like comfort to them. He added a pinch of his magic to do the trick.

"I... I don't know..." Tommy had replied to the man. His head swirling from side to side.

"why not just accept? It would stop you from overthinking...."

"But I.... I don't know... Maybe? I'm not sure...." Tommy replied. Pausing from time to time.

"Tommy! Don't believe him! He is decieving you! He is manipulating you to do what he wants!" Wilbur warned his brother.

"Don't listen to them... You don't need their opinions to choose what is best for you~"

"But they're my family.... I think I do need it though..." The youngest stirred. Dream turned the boy to a position which is facing him. The Emperor and Prince Wilbur noticed Dream's eyes glowed and dashed to stop it.

"Of course. I do not need them. I only need you Dream." The youngest Prince stated, staring directly at Dream. "Do you agree?"

"I--"
