Last Voyages

Chapter 44

Alright guys, here it is. The big reveal of what's been going on through all 3 books. Hopefully, when this chapter ends, you'll understand everything. The song really fits too. Hehe, enjoy this madness.

Harry's POV:

The disbelief filled my entire body as I stared at him, trying to fathom exactly what he was doing, and why he was doing it. 

"Uncle...Hans?" I ask in shock, only to receive a glare in return.

"Don't call me by that name boy. I am Emperor Tyrone. And don't call me Uncle either. I'm not related to you." Hans sneers at me and I see Bella give me an incredulous look, confused out of her mind because of what was going on. In all honesty though, so was I.

"What do you mean? Of course you are." I say and 'Emperor Tyrone' rolls his eyes annoyed.

"You really know nothing. I would never be related to a family like yours. The only reason you called me Uncle was because your father took me as his brother. No other reason. I'm not even remotely related to your sad excuse of a family." he growls and my eyes widen in shock.

"You're not...related?" I ask stunned and a grin grows on his face. "Of course not. I merely fooled your father and mother from the first day I met them." he says and a frown comes to my face.

"You were still family to us. If my father took you in as his brother, you were family. You were one of us." I reply, the mention of my father again making Emperor Tyrone's eyes fill with hatred.

"Your father was a fool." he growls and I clench my fists together, not understanding why he was acting like this. 

His brown eyes were darker than they used to be, his hair filled with more gray than black. He used to smile all the time, calling Edward and I as we ran through the hall, picking both of us up as we ran towards him, all of us laughing as he spun us around. 

He used to be so kind...so loving and caring. Where was his smile now?

"Why? How?" I ask lamely, not knowing what else to say in this situation. I was still in shock over the fact that he wasn't actually my Uncle...he wasn't related to me at all. 

The blonde stayed silent, standing beside the Emperor, gauging both Bella's and I's reaction. It was as if he were expecting us to lash out at him at any second.

"Your father took me in when you were mere toddlers. He was bought over by my beggar's routine. He felt pity on me and took me in, soon calling me his brother and deeming me a worthy uncle of his two sons. But I never wanted to be a part of your family," Hans begins and I stare at him confused.

"You never wondered why I stopped coming to the castle, did you?" he asks and I nod my head fervently.

"I did! We were told you went travelling for business. My father was extremely upset because you were gone." I say and Tyrone grits his teeth together angrily.

"That's a lie." he snarls and I look at him at a loss. "What do you mean?"

"I never left on my own accord. When your mother and father realized I was trying to usurp the throne from them, they kicked me out of the castle and banished me from coming back. The former King was furious and devastated because he had been tricked by me for nearly six years. I was so close to achieving my goal. I would've been King not five years from then if I hadn't been kicked out." he says angrily and I stare at him in shock. 

It can't be...

"You tried to take the throne?" I whisper, seeing him slowly nod to me.

"But that's of no matter now. I finally get to finish what I started." he says with a dark smile and chills run down my back, my eyes widening slightly.
