Not the Successor to the Throne
Chapters 1. Honesty Painful

"Sister, when did you announce the Eiger as Willard's successor?" blerim Willard, brother of Balthis Willard.

There is a heart that is not willing if the son is crowned as the successor to the throne Willard. The sense of loss over his biological son is still felt clearly by Jean Claude.

Eiger Louis Willard was the adopted son of Balthis Willard and Jean Claude. None of the family members knew it because they closed the big secret meeting. For 27 years the secret was well kept. During that time Jean and Balthis' patience was thoroughly tested.

As the eldest brother, Balthis had to make his son the successor to Willard's throne. Of all his brothers, only Balthis was married and had children. His two sisters were not married for some reason.

"Not now, Blerim. There will come a time when we will announce" Jean said.

"Don't be stretched again, brother. Eiger should have replaced your husband" David said.

"Don't hurry, Uncle. I'm not ready yet" said Eiger on the sidelines of his meal.

Being an only child is not easy. Eiger must be the perfect man in front of his mom and dad. However, who would have thought his parents' upbringing was just a cover to hide a big secret that Eiger never knew.

Eiger's answer calmed Jean down a little. The woman took great pains to be sweet to her son, but her heart had always been a mere pretence.

"Sister, wait a minute? Eiger it's time to replace Brother." Blerim reminded again.

Jean's frustration culminated when her husband's two younger siblings forced her to proclaim Eiger as Willard's successor.

"I will never announce a Successor if he is not our descendant" Jean said.

Not only her husband's two younger siblings, but also her husband and son focused on Jean. He was already unable to bear to reveal this great secret. It feels so relieved. In reality, it will cause new problems.

"Sir, what is all this about?" david asked Balthis. "Are you hiding something we don't know?"

Not only his brothers, but also Eiger. He felt that all this time his parents did not really love him. Can Eiger accept the fact that what his mother said was the truth?

Jean's still tight-lipped. And so did Balthis. This makes Eiger wonder.

"Ma, is it true that I'm not your son? Why am I in the midst of you?" ask Eiger. There was another feeling growing in his heart. Some important questions that will be asked when everything is conducive.

"Yes, Brother. When this family will raise the heir to the throne, why has it just revealed all your lies? Then, where's our real nephew?" Blerim was very curious.

This is no ordinary secret. The Eiger have been in their midst for 27 years. Where is the real crown prince?

"Or, maybe my niece is dead. Then, you replace it with another baby boy?" david Guiding. He had no idea that behind the Willard family's life was kept a secret of this magnitude.

"Enough! Don't accuse us of doing things we don't want to do. I've been patient enough to stay in the pretense of caring for someone else's child rather than my own. You think I'm not shaken after finding Eiger's life like this. While my son out there lives a long time ago." A mother's words are never wrong.

"Ma, then who am I?" ask Eiger.

His well-established life had made a great shock when the great secret was revealed. It still feels like a dream to be in the middle of a wealthy family like this. The Eiger is needed like a prince by everyone.

When everything is revealed, the eyes of others are certainly different. Remember the Eiger is not his young master. No matter how good the Eiger is, the response must have been different.

"Jean, enough! You don't need to explain anymore. We'd better talk about it later," said Balthis. Since then he tried to regulate the rhythm of his heart that began to be uncontrolled.

The honesty of his wife makes Balthis confused to prepare an explanation like what to his sisters. Should he admit the real thing? The mistakes of the past that made Balthis must be willing to give up his son for someone else.

The painful news made the Eiger's appetite disappear. She felt like she was living with a foreign family she had never known at all. Then, who exactly is he? Decades of living here, being facilitated, and getting preferential treatment.

Eiger. He sat down on the floor in front of his mother who turned out to be just another person for him.

"Ma, can you explain who I am? Why would you give me this rightful place if I was just a stranger?"

Eiger begged and bowed before his mother's feet. It feels unfair to himself to know the truth. Painful and heartbreaking. Where else would Eiger look for his biological family?

"I'm sorry, Eiger. I can't explain who you really are. We were just trying to come to terms with the circumstances when we lost the figure of the tiny baby Elov Willard" Jean explained.

"So, the boy's name is actually Elov, brother?" ask David.

Balthis and Jean nodded. Before his son's departure, they gave him a name.

"Wait on! What other secrets are you hiding?" blerim Tuding.

"Eiger, stand! Don't squabble in front of women who aren't your parents!" The baritone Balthis's voice was shocking.

During this time the man he considered papa even did not give an explanation at all. This is very confusing for Eiger. It turned out that not only did her mother start to keep her distance, her father did the same.

Eiger stood with a face of confusion. Should he get out of the mansion right now?

"Eiger, finish your meal! Then come to Uncle's office. We're talking there" Blerim said.

The Eiger is unable to swallow its food anymore. His throat was dry, choked, and he felt that something was stuck. His heart now holds a sense of disappointment.

"Thank you, Uncle. I'll be there after everything is clear" said Eiger.

"Sister, we're all waiting for an explanation from you. Don't make Eiger feel guilty about this" Blerim said.

David was quieter. He tried to digest everything. The other with Blerim. He already has another solution.

Eiger. She was about to meet her lover, but was prevented by her papa.

"Eiger, where are you going? You shouldn't run away from reality like this!" balthis.

Willard's extended family was very kind to him. After knowing the reality, Eiger must take a stand. He can't handle it alone. He needs someone else. Yes, her lover, Biana Calantha who will help solve all her problems.

"I just want to meet Biana, Pa," she replied.

The young girl will be the first to advise on all her troubles. Biana should be the first to hear all her complaints. After that, what solution will be obtained from Biana, that is what the Eiger will run.
