Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 32 – REUNION BROTHER
Inside the dim room, Leon activated one of the magic crystals on a table.
Apparently, who was connected through the communication line was Jilk, the butler of Helios' trust, Brother Leon.
Leon also asked the butler who turned out to be a spy he placed to watch the movement of the brother, “Have you investigated him, Jilk?”
“It seems, your suspicions are correct, Master. That guy is really suspicious.”
Hearing that, how Leon was unable to hide his anger drawn through his wild eyes growing violent.
However, trying to contain his anger it exploded, he said to the grandfather, “So apparently. Damn it, we're doing it.”
“What action should we take next, Master.”
“Stay watch the situation there. Let me be the one who will be watching the movements of that trash brother here for now.”
Thus, the conversation between Leon and the spy Jilk ended.
***
A few days later, Helios, Albert, and Yasmin arrived at the royal capital. Beyond their expectations, different from the departure of those without a single royal family and palace soldiers, now they are greeted with great joy.
And who stands in the midst of their welcome is directly from the crown prince of the Kingdom of Meglovia itself. Tius Star Meglovia was Helios' only older brother.
“Yo, welcome, my sister, the second prince, Helios.” Tius greeted Helios with a friendly smile.
Seeing that, Helios' feelings were mixed. This was the first time since thirteen years ago that her brother had greeted her again. Ever since he was excommunicated in the rundown palace located far from the main palace, he had long felt the loss of love from his family.
“Ah, my respect to the royal star, the number two in the Kingdom of Meglovia, the crown prince of Tius Star Meglovia.” Helios was only able to respond to her brother with a clumsy formal salute.
But beyond Helios' expectations, Tius himself came forward to embrace his sister.
“You've spelled hard, Helios.” Tius said to Helios in his warm embrace as he rubbed the pitch-black hair of Helios, which was very different from the golden hair of other members of the royal family.
“Kakak, stop! If Big Brother did this, then Big Brother could have come under fire from the holy temple. Sister can not interact with this dirty me according to them like this because it will endanger the position of Brother as crown prince.”
However, instead of letting go of his embrace, Tius hugged Helios even tighter.
Tius said to Helios, “Helios, listen. What is good and bad is not determined by the judgment of the holy temple, but by what is public opinion. You have worked hard so far by finding the cause and permanently stopping the chaos of the monster forest.”
“You also found indications of the involvement of the Vlonhard Empire on the issue of chaos in the monster forest so that the strength of our diplomacy is stronger in opposing imperial arbitrariness. You do not know that how famor you have been so ascended in society that there is no more reason for the sacred temple to protest to the royal family to treat you like a royal family.”
“Begitukah..” Helios only reacted with a sad look to the statement of her brother, Tius it.
Helios tried to seem as happy as possible to comment from her brother, Tius. But unfortunately, Helios was also not silent all this time. He had investigated for himself the development of the kingdom through his ice familiar hidden everywhere in every corner of the kingdom.
Coupled with his incompetence of saving the lives of a thousand more soldiers in the attack of the king of undead, it became a trigger that was like a speck of broken milk for a while, his great achievement was never even noticed in the chatter of the royal community whatever was replaced by the humiliation of him as a cruel prince who could sacrifice thousands of lives to achieve his goals.
They have claimed that Helios had deliberately sacrificed a thousand more lives to carve out the feat he now gained in permanently stopping the instability of monster movements in the monster forest.
Unaware of Helios' complicated thoughts, Tius smiled at her and immediately escorted Helios back to the palace, but this time Helios was not escorted to his rundown palace, but to the main palace.
“Kakak, this?”
“From today, you will also stay in this main palace, Helios. Isn't it strange from the start why a prince who is not a concubine child, but rather the queen's own child, should be placed in a palace far from the main palace?”
“But then, the holy temple will move and it could be that the citizens of this kingdom will conduct a massive demostration..”.
“This has already been agreed upon by the nobles of the court officials, so I guess your concern is meaningless, Helios. Well although there was some opposition from the scholars from the knight academy, but otherwise there was no rejecting this from among the scholars from the magic academy. They also seem to be starting to pay respect to you since your proud discovery of mana-enhancing potions permanently it.”
Helios' expression still looked complicated back then. But deep down, he felt happy that at least someone appreciated his small achievements.
Some time walking, the entourage of Helios and the Crown Prince arrived at the royal palace. There, Ilene had stood with some of her servants led by Ilene's trusted servant, Mellina, saluting the newly arrived entourage.
Helios stole a glance at her only sister and smiled at her. However, Ilene's expression still did not change before him. Ilene was still timid before Helios and immediately looked down ignoring Helios' smile.
Helios looked unperturbed on the outside with that and only maintained her smile before Ilene who had thrown her face before him. But in the depths of his heart, how Helios actually felt a stinging pain due to that feeling of being ignored.
‘Well, after all who will treat the person foretold will kill him with a friendly attitude. It is precisely Ilene's attitude that is most natural among my other brothers.’ Helios tried to think positively in his heart.
But of course, there was not the slightest intention in Helios' heart to remove his brothers and sisters for the throne as the holy temple had foretold.
No matter how awkward the atmosphere that occurred, actually the meeting was really meaningful for the three of them about this was the first time for the three of them to be able to gather fellow brothers. If only Leon had been there, the reunion of the four brothers would have been complete.
However, the peaceful atmosphere was suddenly disturbed by the attack of fire magic coming from far away.
“Fyuuush.”
“Pyar.”
The attack was seen to be aimed at Helios, but Yasmin swiftly repelled it and Albert immediately positioned himself before Helios to protect the master.
Apparently, the attack was none other than Leon, the third prince, Helios' own younger brother.
“I was so sick of watching cockroaches crawl into this clean place so I subconsciously tried to burn the cockroaches. Yo, Big Brother Trash, long time no see.”
Says Leon impolitely to Helios while grinning creepily.
