Being the Mother of My Brother's Son
Chapter 45
The emperor announced to the whole family to gather in the family room. Because something important will be discussed today.
Including Grand Duke Felix who is in the North area must be present at the event.
In front of the palace the chariot with its diamond emblem surrounded both swords on its side, belonging to Grand Duke Felix the ruler of the Northern Ducty stopped in front of the entrance of the imperial palace. The carriage door was opened by the Grand Duke's personal aide.
From inside the carriage, it appeared that the man who was wearing formal noble clothes complete with his robe was observing the majestic appearance of the magnificent building in front of him.
Despite the rumors, this palace used to be the residence of Grand Duke Felix before he was cursed. The man turned his face away from thinking about his past, then he immediately got off his train while tidying up his official robe.
"Welcome, Mr. Grand Duke Felix. His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for you" welcome the butler of the palace bowed politely with one hand in front of the chest."let's come with me!"
"Thank you for the warm welcome." Grand Duke Felix smiled wryly then followed the palace butler.
Arriving at the door of the imperial family room, the palace butler exclaimed the arrival of Grand Duke Felix to the emperor. After that the door was opened by the imperial guard, the bodyguard invited Grand Duke Felix to enter.
The atmosphere inside looked so tense. The emperor's facial expression was devastated and Consort Irene was endlessly crying hysterically while her mother Empress Ariana tried to appease Consort Irene. Even worse, Crown Prince Clement fell on the floor with tears in his eyes.
"Dad really hopes for you, Clement! But why did you disappoint me!" Shouted Emperor Philip who could not bear to know about the truth of his son.
PRANGS!
Emperor Philip took the crown mounted on the head of Prince Clement and threw it recklessly.
With eyes open shocked to see the situation in the room Grand Duke Felix immediately approached Emperor Philip who was his biological father.
"Dad what really happened?" Ask Grand Duke Felix.
"Your brother Prince Clement has made a terrible mistake!" The emperor said with an angry face.
"Really my father is sorry! I'm innocent that cunning woman has framed me" said Prince Clement, who was still standing in front of Emperor Philip in tears.
"Close your mouth! You useless child!" Emperor Philip grew angry.
"What did Prince Clement do until I was that angry?" Ask Grand Duke Felix.
"Your sister has impregnated the daughter of Count Wilson Travium's family" replied the Emperor.
Grand Duke Felix was instantly reminded of Gizella. Prince Clement was close to Count Wilson's daughter, Gizella.
Must be that girl! But why would he do that? Wasn't she his lover Pope Rezef?- Inner Grand Duke Felix.
"Really Felix's father was very confused as to how to talk to Duke Calen if he found out about this. Since Count Wilson threatened father, he would spread this rumor if his daughter did not marry Clement." Emperor Philip was frustrated.
Grand Duke Felix immediately embraced his father and told him to sit down first to calm his mind.
"Our father will definitely find a way to solve this problem" Grand Duke Felix said, trying to appease emperor Philip.
"Felix is married to Duke Calen's daughter" Emperor Philip asked.
"NO!"
"Can't be, then what about Prince Clement's fate? Duke Calen would not agree if his daughter married Felix because of the damned" Consort Irene said hysterically.
THE PLAQUE!
"Dad please don't cancel my marriage to Priscilla" Prince Clement pleaded.
"You have to take responsibility for what you did, Clement!" The Emperor Philip's.
"Quiet father how if the daughter of the family of Count Wilson became a concubine of Prince Clement only" Advice from Grand Duke Felix.
"That's impossible! The condition that Duke Calen requested was that no concubine would interfere with his daughter's life" Emperor Philip said
"Your Majesty would not be willing if my son should marry a woman like her! How could such a woman possibly become an empress for this empire?" The Concubine Irene.
"Then what should I do to save this imperial pride!" Ask the already desperate Emperor Philip.
"Felix will be the successor to this empire again, did not this throne originally belong to my son" said Empress Ariana.
Serin Irene would not be willing if the throne of the imperial successor fell into the hands of Grand Duke Felix, with the angry face of Consort Irene clutching firmly her dress it.
"Can't! Felix was cursed, this empire will definitely be destroyed because of his curse" said Consort Irene not to lose.
Grand Duke Felix stared intently at Consort Irene. She looks very angry and the aura kills her instantly but her mother the Empress tries to calm her son.
"Felix control yourself!" Pinta Empress Ariana.
"Your Majesty I have a suggestion. What if Felix married Count Wilson's daughter. They must be very happy that her daughter is going to be a Duchess" Consort Irene smiled cunningly.
Irene's concubine was incessantly courting Emperor Philip to agree to the plan. Because he had to make his son an Emperor.
In this way my son Clement will still marry Priscilla and become the next Emperor and I will be the inner queen-wife of Consort Irene.
Emperor Philip gave a gesture of surrender and despair with one hand raised.
"Alright, I think that's the best tool. Moreover, Felix cannot become emperor because of the curse that befell him, only Clement is the only heir I have now" said Emperor Philip.
"Don't do that Your Majesty don't do that! Why should my son be responsible for Clement's mistakes. This is very unfair" said Empress Ariana in severe shock.
Emperor Philip approached Empress Ariana and held both shoulders." Calm down This empress is the best way to save the empire." Emperor Philip said with a heavy heart.
Then Emperor Philip approached the standing Grand Duke Felix." Felix you must marry Count Wilson's daughter!" Pinta Emperor Philip.
Grand Duke Felix was silent for a moment, he thought to the point of pervading Emperor Philip's request."I'll think about it later" Grand Duke Felix replied hesitantly.
"You have to accept it! This is the absolute order of the emperor" Emperor Philip snapped.
"Dad give me time to think. You know I've been married four times and all my wives tried to kill me on our first night. That's why I have to think about it first" Grand Duke Felix bowed low.
"Father will give you three days after that you must immediately sign the marriage certificate with the daughter of Count Wilson's family" Emperor Philip threatened.
At once Grand Duke Felix felt sad, because Emperor Philip as his own biological father asked him just to cover up the mistakes of his favorite son Prince Clement. How did Felix feel? Does he deserve this?
"If that's dad, I'll go out" Grand Duke Felix said.
Before exiting, Grand Duke Felix bowed once more and disappeared along with the closed door.
