Being Duke's Son? (BL Novel)
Imperial palace

"Rackey? What's that word?" Duke muttered in surprise, Leo had left the room so he did not listen to his father's murmur.

...----------------...

Tuk tuk tuk tak (horse foot sound)

Now Leo is riding a horse carriage to the palace, has been several times this ride is still not too comfortable.

Get to the palace

"Your young master has arrived!" The word that rides the horse.

"Yes well" said Leo.

Leo got off the chariot, and walked into the palace with a servant leading to the emperor's place.

Kriet (open door voice)

The emperor's servant came in and informed Leo of his arrival.

"Baginda Mr. Leo has come" said the servant.

"Yes, tell him to come in!" Emperor's orders.

"Your Majesty" said the servant.

***********

"Sir, your Majesty has already allowed you to enter. Please come in" said the waiter, inviting Leo.

"Oh, alright!" Said Leo.

'Hopefully the cave rejection was accepted' In Leo's heart.

Leo went into the room.

"Good day, Sire!" Leo said pleasantries while bowing a sign of respect.

"Yes, sit!" Emperor says.

'Eeh, what the evil smile of the emperor is? Sitting no cave, if the cave sits rich cave will be eaten alive! Au ah just sit down so hard!' In Leo's heart while shuddering in horror.

"Alright then" said Leo to carry out the emperor's order.

"So, have you read the letter?" Ask emperor.

"Yes Your Majesty!" Answer Leo.

"So what do you think?" Ask the emperor again.

"Does that question whether you can reject it or not?" Ask emperor.

'You know how to even ask?' In Leo's heart.

The real emperor knew Leo would refuse but...

"Yes, that's what I want to ask" Leo replied.

"If you ask like that, I'd like to say: "you can't refuse!" I see, what do you think?" Asked the emperor with his jail look.

"Huh?" Mumbled Leo.

"Hahaha, look at your face!" Emperor says.

"How can I see my own face try?" Mumbled Leo.

"Hihi" The emperor's laughter, it's been a long time since the emperor laughed freely like today.

"But I am serious about saying that you do not refuse this request" the emperor said with a serious face.

"Uh, why should I?" Ask Leo.

"Yes, because you have potential!" Answer emperor.

"Why don't you try it first!" Emperor continues.

"Uh, well I'll do it!" Exclaimed Leo.

"Good then" said the emperor.

"Oh yeah, I hear you're sick? But it seems like you're healthy because you can laugh like that" Leo asked.

"Oh, I'm actually sick again, but the moment I met you made me laugh" replied the emperor.

Leo knew that the emperor's illness was genuine, in the emperor's original novel was seriously ill at 2 months after Zen turned 23.

This led to many rebellions from outside and within the empire, but was still controllable by Zen.

After she married Angelina she would gain the support of Duke Filbern, and she fought a war with the rest of the empire and took the empire.

"Why? Don't you trust Leo?" Ask emperor.

"Not really, I believe in you. Only, if you can laugh like that, people will believe you are healthy" replied Leo.

"Is that so?" The emperor said, his face pretending not to believe Leo's words.

"uh? Yes, that is" said Leo.
