Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 132 – HELIOS AND ILENE, TWO SIBLINGS (bag. 2)
In turns, the nobles came to express their support for Ilene.
“Princess Ilene is indeed a wise figure. Nothing matches your propriety of becoming the queen of this land.” It was the fox, Duke Ares van Orsena, who said it.
“You must be the queen, no one else, Her Majesty Princess Ilene!” He always seemed fiery on the outside, but cowardly on the inside, despite being a military chief, Viscount Aloquince von Maxwell.
“The future of the country is in your hands, Her Highness Princess.” The latter is a calm figure who usually always reviews the problem in a broader aspect. But he is a fanatic of the holy temple so he supports Ilene to occupy the throne. Marquise Roderick van Moriant.
Ilene was even more agitated by the amount of support she had from among the nobles. Not only from among the nobles, the scholars, royal academy disciples and knights, all of them flocked to express their support for Ilene.
When both of his brothers were alive, Tius and Leon, no one looked at him at all to become the heir to the throne. That's natural. Forgetting Ilene's own attitude that seemed cowardly and unequivocal, from the beginning, Ilene herself was a difficult woman in normal situations of course being a ruler in a country that considered the standing of men higher than women.
However, the situation this time was different. In order to prevent the ice tyrant prince from ascending the throne, it would be Ilene as the other remaining heir who must seize his place.
From day to day, Ilene's anxiety became more and more so that it made it difficult for her to sleep. Until one night, the frustrated Ilene finally chose to drop herself from the second floor of the palace balcony. It was certainly not enough to take his life, but it had been enough to leave him injured so that he could rest in peace during his treatment in the hospital.
But Helios coincidentally witnessed the incident.
“Ilene! What are you doing?! Quickly get down from there!”
- Tap.
Luckily Helios managed to catch Ilene before anything bad happened to her. It was really lucky that Helios was in that place at the right time. No, it was no coincidence let alone luck because from the beginning, Helios was relentlessly watching Ilene by using her relatives to look after her beloved sister, her only remaining brother.
“What are you doing exactly, Ilene? Why are you like this?”
In Helios' arms, Ilene clutched her brother's shoulders.
“I'm scared, Brother. Those old foxes, suddenly just told me to become queen and offer their grandchildren for me to marry.”
“What does Ilene want to be queen?”
“No! Who would want to ride that bloody unclean thing?!”
Helios smiled as she stroked her sister's delicate golden hair.
“Then, it will be brother who will be king to protect Ilene. Brother has rounded up Brother's resolve. Brother will no longer hide like a coward, protected by Brother Tius and Leon. Now it's Brother's turn to protect Ilene.”
“Hiks, hiks.”
Only sobs could be heard from Ilene's voice.
- Ceklek.
Unexpectedly by Ilene, Helios paired it with a beautiful necklace with a beautiful white jewel at the end.
“What's this, Brother?”
“This is my protection for you, Ilene. This is a kind of magic artifact that can provide protection to you to ward off the magic of high-end legendary level monsters for 3 minutes. At least that was enough until Big Brother came to protect you himself. So no matter what the circumstances, no matter where you are, never remove this necklace from your neck. Understand?”
Ilene nodded silently in response to the request of her brother, Helios.

A few days later, it was the turn of the monk Vyndicta Eros who visited Ilene.
“What about the health condition of the Princess?”
“I'm a little unwell, Rahib. Therefore, speed up if you have any business with me.”
But instead of answering Ilene's question, the, the monk looked sharply at the necklace worn by Ilene and looked towards the void in the air around which there was nothing there.
“Rahib?”
Monk Vyndicta did not respond to Ilene.
-plek.
But suddenly, the monk flicked his fingers and a white barrier appeared, isolating them both from the outside world.
“What is this?”
“Let's rest easy Your Highness Princess Ilene, this is just a barrier I made so that no one can listen to our conversation from the outside. More important than that.”.
The eyes of the Monk Vyndicta Eros immediately turned to Ilene sharply.
“Do you really trust Your Sister, Her Royal Highness Prince Helios de Meglovia, Princess Ilene?”
“Of course.”
“His Royal Highness Prince Leon was killed while visiting the city where His Highness Prince Helios was stationed. His Highness Prince Leon was indeed reported to have died from a monster attack, but you think His Highness Prince Leon is that weak to be defeated by monsters? Moreover, there are eyewitnesses who report that he saw for himself the incident that His Highness Prince Helios himself killed Prince Leon.”
“No! The eyewitness was hypnotized by an unknown person! Wasn't it also obvious in the report that there was a trace of black magic in the memory of the witness?!”
“Excellent traces of black magic. What if it was Prince Helios who tried to get himself accused by the charges with suspicious evidence until finally he was released from the charges because as if someone tried to slander him?”
“Lantas what proof you said all that?!”
Ilene who did not accept her brother insulted then looked carefully at Rahib Vyndicta Eros with a gaze full of anger.
Monk Vyndicta then lay his shoulders on the back of the chair while sighing long before continuing to say,
“Lantas what about the slaughter in the Kingdom of Cabalcus? He reasoned a grudge with the death of His Highness Crown Prince Tius, but in fact he only killed his own accomplices after carrying out their duty to kill the crown prince so as not to leave any witnesses for his depraved deeds.”
“Hey, Rahib Vyndicta! Your words are full of speculation. Do you have any evidence for what you said? Clearly the Kingdom of Cabalcus betrayed the alliance of the southern kingdoms by siding with the Vlonhard Empire.”.
“Do you also have proof against it? Has the Vlonhard Empire acknowledged their involvement? Isn't this also one of His Highness Prince Helios' schemes?”
“Shut! There's Swein as a witness. Diplomats from the Kingdom of Ignitia also confirmed it!”
Ilene who is usually a coward, when it comes to her brothers, she will explode. The thing that Ilene wanted the most was that her brother was humiliated. He also forgot his usual fear-fear attitude about his burning adrenaline.
“Heh, they could have been bribed, Princess. Rather than that, His Highness Prince Helios was indeed an excellent figure Brother huh, Princess, to the extent that it seems very interested in everything you are talking about and working on by installing eavesdropping artifacts near you.”
Said the monk while pointing towards the necklace worn by Ilene.
At once Ilene's mouth gaped agape so knowing that fact.
