Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 88 – AS ROYAL FAMILY
The kindly sister Tius, the loving Brother Tius, the gentle-hearted Sister Tius, and the kindly sister Tius, were they all masks to cover all her ambitions?
“So it's true that Brother has been telling Leon all this time to be a villain in the shadows to do all the dirty things that Brother ordered?!”
“Yes, that's right, Helios. So in exchange for Leon who has died, Brother wants you to replace his role.”
Without hesitation, Brother Tius answered my question. Without the slightest embarrassment towards the corpse of Leon who had long been lying stiff in the ground, he admitted everything. And worse, now it's my turn to be persuaded to replace Leon.
“Don't expect me to be like the stupid Leon who's willing to be a doll belonging to Brother!”
“If it is like that, it will be a little troublesome, Helios. It's a bit heavy that this role should be played by Ilene.”
I who have been at the peak of my emotions, increasingly undermined by something even more absurd that must be Sister Tius, not Si Tius the bastard said.
I overflowed with anger and pulled his collar.
“Don't you ever think of involving Ilene on that ambition of yours, Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
Those eyes were looking at me with a gaze that seemed to say that I did not understand why I was acting such an emotion.
“Hei, Helios. I know it's hard for you. I know you have been exiled so far that you have never received a proper education as a royal family. I understand that, so let's just assume that we never talked about this. But don't force the value you bring from the outside either to me or to Ilene because we on behalf of the royal family, will be willing to make any sacrifices including if it's our lives.”
There was not the slightest hesitation from behind the gaze of that bastard Tius in saying so.
“No need to be hypocritical in front of me! You did all of that because of your only ambition, right to become a king without defects in the eyes of the community?!”
He smiled at me. It was her fox smile as usual. I never understood what that smile meant to me. Then, she suddenly stroked my hair. Feels warm.
“Basic my innocent sister. Sometimes, I envy your simple mindset. So how about this, will you be the king in my place, Helios? Although there will be a little chaos from among the sacred temples as the prophecy slowly draws closer to the truth, but I still had time to change his plan.”
“What do you mean?”
“I am the one who will take the place of Leon where you will replace my position as the future king. Hows it? If it's like that, you won't reject it, will you?”
I rejected the hand that was stroking my head coldly. Strictly speaking, I rejected the offer from the crown prince that I had not expected to be the madman.
“Don't expect me to do that crazy plan of yours! There's no need to die between us, whether it's me, Ilene, and even Brother. So Big Brother I hope to take better care of myself and around Brother more wisely.”
I immediately left Brother Tius with a mixed feeling of annoyance. Frankly, I want to be so angry with him. But I realized, no matter how angry I was, it was useless if the person who was the source of our anger did not feel that his actions were a mistake.
After all, rather than Kak Tius' plan, what really made Leon die was because of my inability to look after him. It was not Kak Tius faction, corrupt nobles, or outside factions that were the main culprit. Everything came back because of my incompetence. If I could have been a more reliable brother back then so Leon could have been more open to me, then his death disaster might have been prevented.
“Master, why is your look so tangled? Did His Highness the Crown Prince say something that made you unhappy?”
Albert immediately realized from behind my expression that something was wrong after I spoke to Sister Tius. However, I tried to argue that nothing happened. I was lazy to talk about it first. Nothing makes my heart ache at this moment more than my disappointment with Kak Tius's actions.
“Honor to the moon that shines brightly with the stars, Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Vierra Liz Meglovia.”
Albert immediately made a royal standard karmic salute, while I bowed my head as a fellow equal member of the royal family. In the rule of the Kingdom of Meglovia, the position of the prince and princess of the kingdom is equivalent to that of the crown princess. Only the position of the crown prince is slightly higher among us.
“Dik Helios is coming home? Do not want to visit Ayahanda who was sick?”
That is what Vierra said to me. Since I first heard it, I was wondering, “Ayahanda is sick? Why did I hear it for the first time?”
Instantly I woke up. About three weeks ago my marriage with Talia, Father and Mother was not present because they were reported to be sick. I didn't know that the news was true. Initially, I suspected that it was just their reason for being lazy to attend the wedding of the child they hated.
Or is the new father hurt because of the karma of his words that reasoned pain when in reality not during the wedding day of his son?
But I immediately remembered the past. Although our relationship is now bad about the sacred prophecy, considering how Father used to play with me as a child in the midst of his busy life as king, I cannot possibly ignore it. If it wasn't for the holy prophecy, we would have been a happier family.
I decided to visit Father with Albert before returning.
As soon as I entered Ayahanda's room, I saw the figure of a Father who was so fragile that now only visible bones and skin tangled. Totally different from two years ago the last time I saw him.
“Ayahanda.”
My gentle handkerchief to her.
“Who?”
Ayahanda's view also seemed to start myopic so that he did not realize who visited him.
“It's me, Dad, Helios.”
“Oh, Son Helios. I'm sorry you couldn't go to your wedding back then, son. Father still had to lie sick in bed due to fatigue.”
Gently, Ayahanda smiled at me in her farsighted look.
What exactly has happened to him all this time? Did the members of the sacred temple of the palace not take good care of Ayahanda's health?
No, from the very beginning it was my fault for trying to ignore him after Leon's death. It wasn't Father's fault, it was I who subconsciously refused to meet my parents because I was too embarrassed after failing to protect my brother Leon right in my own territory.
But it's not too late. Although not as good as Venia or Guru Zizi, but I believe my medical abilities are already quite skilled beyond the members of the palace's sacred temple. Maybe I can recover your health.
However, I have not been able to check on his condition, Mother also came.
“What are you doing here damned child! Who allowed this damned child to come in here?! The bodyguard! Go take him all the way from this place and never let him come here again bringing misfortune to this place!”
I was cast out blatantly by Mother.
