"I love you.The feeling that shouldn't arise is disturbing but I like it, the color of the cause is you."

A thin red sheet appeared on both of her white cheeks.

"After all this is done, are you willing to marry me?"

Ian smiled softly and sweetly.The sincere feeling of a man that Lily first felt.Without realizing tears flowed from both of her eyes. Pleasure and joy filled the minds and hearts of the two people.

"Yes, I'm ready!"

Episode 99's

"I admit defeat, baginda!"

"You've tried, I respect your courage."

"Thank you very much."

A week has passed since that incident. Remina and Chaster return to the kingdom of Clovarn and Chaster ascends to the throne. Zergan's condition has fully recovered and the protector has also been restored by Vel.

As per the call to 'train a match' that Felix talked about, Shavad and Felix did the match practice. There is a very visible difference between them. In just 10 minutes Felix managed to make Shavad submit.

"remarkable. The power of his Majesty and prince Shavad is very different" said Tenoah amazed.

"But it looks like he almost lost if he was not aware of the movement of the feet of Prince Shavad" said Charlos.

"Prince Shavad is very agile" Evelyn said.

"Silver has been trained agility since childhood.Walau energy is not large but by utilizing his agility, I can not avoid when cornered." explained Demiera proudly.

Felix helps Shavad stand up and approach the princesses and princes who see their sparring.

"You are amazing, Prince Shavad has also tried hard" said Arta.

"Thank you. Prince Shavad was very agile, I almost got defeated" Felix said with a laugh.

"You're overreacting, baginda." replied Shavad.

They laughed together after the match. Suddenly, Lucas comes along with a little boy who is none other than Asher.

"Greet to the Emperor." Lucas greets Felix and is followed by Asher.

"Oh,Lucas. Why did you bring Asher here?" ask Felix in wonder.

"The Empress is unwell and Kenneth has affairs in Mark's territory. Asher also misses Yesra." Lucas replied.

The princes and princesses stared at Asher and Yesra alternately. They're very similar.

"A-anu, who's this kid?" ask Claudia.

"She is very similar to Yesra's daughter" Tenoah said.

"That's.."

"Mother!"

Everyone was shocked and could not believe what they had just heard. Yesra smiled and drew closer to Lucas and Asher.

"Why? You don't have any friends, do you?" Yesra held Asher. Felix can only be silent petrified as well as Lucas who shut up.The princesses and princes are also silent a thousand languages, do not dare to open their voices.

"Daddy's busy. I'm lonely." said Asher, pointing at Lucas.

Things are getting quiet. Lucas is really like a statue now.

"I'll explain everything." Felix said rather heavily.

Felix takes them to his palace to explain everything that happened. From the beginning of Asher's origin and all the real problems that happened. Felix also explains why Asher called Yesra the mother and Lucas the father. Hearing Felix's explanation, the princesses and princes understood and were relieved their misunderstandings were straightened out.

"I'm sorry, daughter of Yesra and Grand Duke Everon. I didn't think long before and just made the mind not wear" Shavad said.

"I am too, forgive me."

"I'm sorry my daughter and Grand Duke."

"It's okay, I also understand why you guys misunderstood. Asher's existence is actually still hidden from the community and only a few people know. It just so happens that soon the agenda of historical knowledge of the origin of the empire and its rulers. This will be a little additional secret.I beg you to keep your mouth shut about this until he crowned one of the princess as empress." said Felix.

The princes and princesses understood and promised to keep their mouths shut about Asher.

"Anu, can I ask you a question?"

"Please Silviana's daughter."

"When one of us ascends to the position of empress, Prince Asher will occupy the position of crown prince?"

"It all depends on Asher.If he is interested in the throne then he will compete with the prince of the empress.But if he is not interested in the throne, he will be the successor of Grand Duke Everon, he will be the successor of Grand Duke Everon,or he can escape from it all and be himself at his choice."

Everyone smiled at Felix's reply. Right, this is fair to Asher. His future depends on himself, not on the demands of others.

Their time was only 4 days before the imperial history knowledge exam.They studied so hard to pass the exam this time.

Exam Day

"Daughters, are you ready?"

"We're ready, Your Majesty the Queen Mother."

This test of knowledge is led directly by the queen mother. Felix, Lucas, and Lily are also watching.

"Well, I hope you'll all accept whatever decision I make."

This exam also begins. The princesses conducted the test with complete confidence in themselves. Lily who was watching was happy because no one played sneaky between them.

.

"You guys have worked hard. I thank you for trying to pass this test."

"Thank you very much, baginda."

Lucas gave Felix a paper from the test. A smile was engraved on the man's face.

"I'm so proud of you, but I'm so sorry that one of you didn't pass this test.."

The faces of the princesses changed drastically.They were confused as to who did not pass the test this time.

"Daughter..Silviana."

Silent mood. So quiet and quiet.

Ruby Palace

"Uncle, mother?"

"Yesra will be back soon, Asher.Are you hungry?"

"I'm bored."

"Then, let's get out."

Yusto takes Asher for a walk in the garden of the ruby palace. As the name suggests, the palace was dominated by the color red.

"Uncle, what kind of flowers do you like?"

"He likes all flowers. But he likes red roses."

"Why?"

"Yesra.so coveted a man who truly loved her. But, we were paralyzed by an accident so his hopes were shattered. She no longer likes red roses, until one day Lily comes into our lives and changes everything. Yesra's shattered hopes can be restored because of Lily."

Asher's face turned sour. He doesn't seem to like anything.

"What's up, Asher?" ask Yusto confused.

"Mom has a father. Did you not love your mother? What does it mean to love the truth, uncle?"

Asher's question made Yusto speechless.What is the true meaning of love?

"Asher, you'll know when the time has come, for now don't think about it because it's too complicated." replied Yusto with a smile.

Asher still looked unsatisfied.He hid his face on Yusto's shoulder.

"Didn't my uncle love someone?"

Yusto was silent, and he would not answer that question.

"There was. But I can't reach it even if I try."

Asher looked at Yusto's bitter smiling face. He doesn't understand adults.

"Asher!"

Lucas' voice calling Asher from behind distracts Yusto and Asher. Yesra is with him, which means the test is over.

"Dad! Mama!"

Asher got down from Yusto's sling and ran towards Lucas.

"Are you tired of waiting too long? I'm sorry."

"It's okay, dad! Uncle Yusto was with me all day."

Lucas smiled. He saw Yusto smiling at him. But, that smile stuck in Lucas's mind.

"Yusto, thank you for accompanying Asher" said Yesra.

"No problem. He's a submissive child." replied Yusto with a smile.

"How's the test?" yusto asked.

"Ah about that..Princess Silviana did not escape." replied Lucas doubtfully.

"So yes.but judging from his behavior during my observation, he was not interested in the empress' throne from the beginning. I also saw her hands that were slightly swollen even though they were covered in gloves" Yusto said.

"He had a strong energy and intention in the sword. I hope he can continue his hobby without thinking about people's responses" Lucas said.

"You come in.The air is getting colder, I'll prepare tea and have dinner."

"Thank you Yesra, forgive me for bothering you."

"It's okay, brother Lucas. You must be tired. Let's take a break."

Yusto and Lucas followed Yesra from behind.Yusto stopped, looking at the backs of Yesra and Lucas who were getting away.

'Will I be as happy as Yesra if I wish there was a woman who truly loved me? I only love one person I shouldn't love.'

"Yusto! Why did you stop? Come quickly!" yell Yesra who was a little far ahead of him.

"Yes! I'll be there soon!"

'It seems, it doesn't matter to me right now.'

"Basic, why shut up!"

"Sorry, I thought of something."

"Eh? Aboutwhat? Princess Silviana?" yesra Goda.

"No.Forget it." replied Yusto firmly.
