“Second Prince whip until he admits his mistake!”
The young man who had just turned 9 years old with his calf pants rolled up to the knee could only stand still and bowed, when the unprotected part of the cloth was again whipped using a wooden stick. He is being punished for mistakes that were not done intentionally.
“Say, has the Second Prince already admitted his mistake? If not, don't stop to give him a whip.”
Given that the King was not in the palace, the power was entirely held by the woman who stood ten meters away from the Second Prince. Who else if not the Queen of King Robelia who is currently in power.
“Mother, already. Stop the sentence,” the wound of a young man who was just 11 years old. He was the reason for the punishment given to the Second Prince. “We did the match fairly. The teacher is also in the match area. He ...not intentionally hurt me.”
Queen Robelia who looked beautiful, graceful, and charming as usual seemed to turn her attention to the blood of her beloved flesh. “Crown Prince, listen to Mom. This is a punishment for disciplining the Second Prince, so that in the future he is not arbitrarily against the future King.”
“But, Mom. This is already ..passage.”
“Now the Crown Prince dares to criticize Mother's actions?”
The Crown Prince of Robelia, whose full name is Kaezar Alexander Kadheston, fell silent. This was indeed his fault of losing a friendly match between fellow junior Knights. When the names of the Knights are drawn by the supervising teacher, it just so happens that Kaezar has to face his own brother, Kaizen.
They get 2 sessions of the match, where the first session is done without tools, while the second session of the fight is allowed to use tools in the form of swords made from real metal. However, before competing, they have also been given direction, and given self-protection equipment.
The first session of the match was won by Kaizan, as he managed to take down his younger brother. In the second session, his sister—Kaezar— is superior. Kaezar, who studied at the Khiev de Pexley, was given extra lessons by Khayansar de Pexley, then had a classmate Cesare de Pexley, apparently more adept at swinging swords than Kaizen. Kaezar's proximity to the family of his future partner has made Kaizen's heart hot, plus he must lose in the second session. Due to the draw, an additional match session was held. In the additional session, Kaizen exerts all her strength to defeat the younger brother.
Unmitigated, Kaizen did not even hesitate to scratch some parts of his sister's body, even though these actions were not allowed. In the last seconds, Kaezar actually managed to reverse the position, because Kaizen who had begun to run out of power, losing power to Kaezar who since the beginning of the game more neat and stable. Using the secret sword technique of the Pexley family as the ultimate skill, Kaezar finally managed to defeat Kaizen. He also accidentally left a scratch on his brother's left temple. The queen who heard her son was injured, was instantly enraged.
Now, after getting tired of training, young Kaezar also has to face punishment which results in his calf feeling so sore and painful. In this palace no one dared to help him, moreover the King was not in the palace. The queen is the most powerful, so she can act arbitrarily.
“Sorry, Queen Mother. I never intended to intentionally injure Brother.” It was a young Kaezar's honest confession, but it was never reprimanded by the Queen.
As an older brother, Kaizen was also unable to help much. The enmity between them grew naturally, ever since they were very small. Whether until when they must be hostile, but Kaezar has also repeatedly explained that his birth will not take away the rights and obligations that will be given to Kaizen. Kaezar will not claim the throne of Robelia's kingdom, because he is not interested in becoming King in a place that never accepts his presence.
“That dream again.”
******* riled up when the owner of the honorary title of the Imperial Young Eagle awoke from his brief slumber. After getting first aid, he immediately closed his eyes due to the effects of the drug given by doctors from the naval military under the leadership of Khayansar.
“Nightmare?”
The question came along with a glass that was flashing hot steam towards him.
“Hm. Thank you, Brother.” Kaezar accepted it, then sipped the warm drink. Outside, the sound of heavy rain was still heard. It looks like the rain is not going to stop anytime soon.
“In sleep is still depressed because of the discrimination you have received since childhood.”
Kaezar did not answer, because the elder brother of his lover was right. Since long ago, one of the dreams that often haunt is a less pleasant childhood. Memory when several times he was punished for tangent with Kaizen—golden child— which is very dear to the royal family, whereas Kaezar never intended to intersect with him. Several times he has also been punished for trivial problems.
“Your height does look invisible in front of them,”, Khayansar said, as she unfurled the curtains of the overlay model also became one of the hallmarks of the Victorian era style. Let the rain be clearly visible from behind the window.
“The sun should be rising soon, but the weather is still bad. The plan is we will not delay departure.” Khayansar is back. This time looking out the window. “After making sure you finish your business with the kingdom, we will leave Robelia.” soon
Kaezar who had taken a sitting position while leaning back nodded, then said, “then what about Sister Cesare? Is there any news?”
“Cesare has joined our fleet,” replied Khayansar. “She is fine.”
Kaezar was relieved to hear that. Now there's nothing to worry about anymore. He then looked in the same direction as Khayansar. “I will be ready soon,” he said. “After dawn, I will go to the palace.”
Kaezar had no other reason to delay. Stay one step away from the Kadheston clan. The injuries sustained by his physique would not be a hindrance. Therefore, before dawn, Kezar had been assisted by Cesare— who had come from the area across the border— to wear his official clothes as a naval soldier Robelia. Behind the official clothes, the two most exposed wounds that adorned his body had been treated well.
After the dawn completely broke, Kaezar went alone to the palace. He was only escorted by the rest of the shadow Knights who were under his personal command. There were not many shadow Knights left, only eight people. The rest are still in some areas.
“Elang Young Empire will soon enter the room.”
After the head of the bodyguard mentioned his honorary title, Kaezar was only allowed to enter the room. It was not the palace hall he had visited that morning, but the King's office. In it, there are already several top officials of the Robelia government, including Major General of the Navy Robelia. There was a private meeting that morning.
“Greetings to His Majesty King Robelia.”
After a long time, and perhaps the last time, Kaezar gave a symbolic tribute to King Robelia, his own half-brother. The figure who had always disliked the presence of Kaezar, because he felt Kaezar was born as a rival.
“I come to face, as per the order of King Robelia.”
The King, who was sitting in his seat of greatness, had just studied the information conveyed by Khayansar regarding the attack received by his entourage. He was wracked with anxiety, fearing the incident made Khayansar attack back Robelia's kingdom. In fact, the government does not know about the attack.
“Sit, Young Eagle of the Empire.” Kaizen voiced out after receiving Kaezar's tribute. “I heard last night you were one of the victims of the attack. What is your good condition?”
The actual pleasantries are very stale. However, because delivered by Kaizen who never behaved like that, then Kaezar inevitably had to give a response.
“I am in good condition.” After being given permission to speak, Kaezar immediately expressed his main reason for coming to the palace. “My arrival this time to hand over the results of the last mission you gave to me.”
Kaezar took two steps forward, then showed the parchment scrolls that were the agreement of the Regent of the opposite region to join the territory of the Robelia kingdom.
“Cross-border areas have officially agreed to the merger of regions, with a record of their rights and obligations to the region across the border will not be snatched by the kingdom. If until cheating occurs, then that second also the region across the border has the freedom to secede with the kingdom.”
The royal notary received the parchment, then handed it to the surprised-looking Kaizen. However, he is good at processing expressions.
Anyone not surprised by the “madness” Young Eagle Empire that managed to make the region across the border agreed to join the kingdom of Robelia in less than a month. The impossible achievement of others for many years.
“This deal was made using my name as an intermediary. So, if in the future the kingdom cheats this deal, I myself will intervene.”
Kaizen jacked up, staring straight at her interlocutor. “The kingdom will definitely not cheat this deal. You can hold my words.”
“Good,” sahut Kaezar. “In two days, representatives from the region across the border will come to take a copy of the official agreement issued by the palace. I hope Your Majesty welcomes them well.”
“Of course,” Kaizen replied. “For the hard work of the Imperial Young Eagle who has united the kingdom and the other side, I will award two million Pies d’or along with a plot of land on Iscel island. Your post in the Navy Fleet will also be raised two levels.”
“Thank you for Your Majesty's generosity, but I can't accept all that.”
“Why? Is there anything else you want?”
Without hesitation Kaezar replied. “I just want freedom.” His gaze was still on Kaizen. Never turned away, as if there were only the two of them in the room. “Please fulfill your promise, Your Majesty. After I successfully completed my final assignment as a Robelia Navy soldier, grant permission to renounce the title of nobility as well as permission to leave from the Robelia Navy.”
Everyone in the roar was astonished greatly of course, including Kaizen who was reminded of his sister's request before going to the region across the border. Apparently the Imperial Young Eagle had never toyed with his words.
“After I exit the palace, I will only use the name Kaezar of Icrea. No more Kaezar Kadheston.” The cold-looking eyes cast an indecipherable look. The view is also only aimed at King Robelia who is currently in power.
“Today I came to release everything related to Robelia, including peerage, honorary titles, to kinship. I will let go of everything before leaving the land of Robelia.”
