Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 35 –INSULTING A SISTER
Regretfully, Leon left behind a group of useless people who claimed to be his followers, but none of them could be made useful in times of need.
No one has agreed to replace his trash brother, Helios, as the leader of Painfinn City in order to prevent the momentum of his trash brother increasing his strength there that will endanger him in the plan to reach the throne of the kingdom about all too cowardly in the possibility of facing the danger of invasion of the monster wave even though it is true the situation there has been brought back under control thanks to the achievements of Helios.
He was initially very proud of having many followers who supported him in the struggle for the throne which included the military, the eastern nobility, and the southern nobility. But only then did he realize that all of them were useless people.
“Preaaak.”
While walking in one of the corridors of the palace, Leon suddenly stopped his steps and then channeled all his frustration on the innocent wall that was so upset, so much so, the wall that Leon beat was cracked.
“Cannot be left like this. I have to prevent that trash brother from staying there. Oh yes, by the way the palace celebration party in celebrating Ilene's success entering the royal academy is imminent. The trash brother was also definitely present there since he would still be in the capital. I can take advantage of that opportunity. I guess this is the only road left.”
Leon also smiled cunningly with a very scary, seeming to devise a very evil plan in his mind.

Then the time passed quickly and without feeling the night of the banquet that was waiting for Leon also arrived.
As expected, Helios came to the banquet held by the palace in order to congratulate his only sister directly. Helios was accompanied by his bodyguards and trusted maids, Albert and Yasmin.
“Wah, Master! This place is so sparkling. Is this what the palace banquet is called?”
Yasmin who looked new first witnessed such a scene then cast her gaze there, enthusiastically observing all the intricacies of the party, starting from the glittering clothes of the nobles, the waiters dressed in neat uniforms, arrived at a sumptuous meal arranged so seductively on the table.
“Yasmin, take care of your attitude! You are the exclusive maid of His Highness Prince Helios. Your actions will count as his pride. So don't be shy here.”
“I'm sorry.”
Hearing Albert's reprimand at him, immediately made Yasmin aware of his inappropriate attitude that could damage the self-esteem of Helios, his master, said. He quickly switched gears by immediately braking his attitude which became more graceful like a professional maid thanks to Jilk's training on him all along.
“Hahahaha. It's okay, Yasmin. I don't really care about people's views since I'm just a neglected prince, so it's okay for you to be as casual as ever.”
Helios said the sentence sincerely without a single lie in it and Yasmin who was very sensitive to feel the aura of a person so as to detect between honesty and lies others immediately realized it, but that is what makes him feel guilty.
‘From today, I promise I will always be respectful so that Master will never again be looked down upon by people.’ He also became determined in a strange place that was never expected by Helios.
The banquet was held some time in peace. Nevertheless, it appeared that almost none of the invited guests had shown any intention of interacting with Helios. All of them just stared at Helios with a suspicious look while remaining at their respective circle of association which really consisted of two large camps.
The first camp belonged to the supporting faction of the crown prince, Tius Star Meglovia, initiated by Marquise Roderick van Moriant, head of the royal academy as well as the leader of the central region faction, Baron Giberont fin Losso, the head of the knight academy, as well as the strongest among them was Duke Glenn van Rodriguez: the leader of the northern region faction.
The second was the faction of the supporters of the third prince, Leon de Meglovia, initiated by Marquise August van Tellborne, leader of the eastern faction, Marquise Vince van Rodhelton, leader of the southern faction, and Viscount Aloquince von Maxwell, military leader.
Of course, the nobles who embraced neutrality still showed a cautious attitude by not interacting with Helios since the existence of Helios under the strict supervision of the people of the holy temple.
Unfortunately, Talia did not attend the banquet, while Ilene as the owner of the party was only a standard courtesy to Helios who attended the party by welcoming him as if and then chatted for a while when Helios entered the door of the party and left it without the slightest intention to interact with him again even though Helios is his own biological brother.
Helios was estranged at the party which was not usually the case with a prince who would always steal the limelight wherever they were with his glamour.
It was really strange considering that Helios' face was very handsome for a prince's standard size.
The color of his hair and eyes was indeed different among the other princes in the Meglovia Kingdom, but if it was examined, if it was, it is not too unusual since such hair and eye colors are common in the southern and eastern continents, even included in the Kingdom of Ignitia which is one of the allied countries of the Kingdom of Meglovia.
Only one thing can cause that. The sacred temple to him.
The crown prince, Tius Star Meglovia, also arrived at the place that immediately broke the awkwardness by inviting Helios to speak directly with full of jest like a good brother and not as his position as the crown prince.
Then beyond expectations Helios, there was another figure besides her brother, Tius, who was willing to break his silence in the crowd. They are Erick fin Hygone and Anna Rosse Bridgette who apparently came from a magic academy who was very interested in the various brilliant inventions of Helios, not only about the potion of permanent mana improvement of the grassfilt plant, but also the, but also a variety of brilliant artifacts that were successfully created by the intelligent prince.
The mood in Helios' heart slowly melted and she began to feel happiness again in the middle of the party. Just a simple compliment came from the two of them, but to Helios who was used to being ignored, it was already an oasis that meant a lot to him.
To Helios who was used to seclusion, small praise and attention would seem the same as the expression of affection in her eyes. That's how what seems small in the eyes of others is actually very valuable to him.
Everything went smoothly for Helios at the banquet without any significant problems occurring afterwards. However, the third prince, Leon de Meglovia also came to attend the banquet.
He is seen stepping deliberately in front of Yasmin who is resting in the corner while holding a red drink in her hand. Yasmin ended up accidentally bumping into Leon and then spilled the red drink right into Leon's royal uniform.
Leon then exploded.
“Basic lowly woman! Who invited this lowly woman here, huh?!”
Of course Leon already knew the answer that Yasmin was one of the followers of her brother, Helios, since they had met a long time ago. Everything was just a part of the engineering that had been carefully planned by the crafty prince.
Hearing the commotion made by Leon while Yasmin was nearby, Helios immediately took the initiative to approach her to see what was going on. How Helios could not help his surprise because apparently what made Leon angry was the exclusive maid itself.
“Leon, what's up? She is my exclusive maid. If he's wronged you, please talk to me. I'll replace the loss.”
“Hah?! Why bother like that?! He was only a lowly servant, but dared to dirty the clothes of a prince. Only one punishment is appropriate for him, right? My brother would agree, right? A proper punishment for a brash lowlife seems like a mere punishment of trance.”
Leon laughed cunningly as he looked at Helios while humbling his precious maid. Helios who was usually calm was no longer able to hold back his anger.
