Passing of the Emperor
Ahhh
Until the very end, this man was bound by the curse of crimson hair and eyes, a pitiful fellow who couldnt see beyond that. He didnt amount to anything, and wouldnt shower anyone with love.
He rely had the blood of the founding emperor in his veins.
Latreille spitted.
Even if this evil wench gives birth to a boy with red hair and eyes He would just be a bastard of a monster, and wont be a hero that will lead the Empire to prosperity!
The Emperor looked up with bloodshot eyes.
This was probably the first ti he conversed so honestly with his father.
He said while trembling:
Latreille
Yes.
Why are you born with blonde hair?
... True I was once consud by hatred over this, cursed my mother, and even thought of burning all my hair off But now, I am thankful. If I was born with red hair, I probably would be trapped in this curse, just like you, father. Because I am the second son, and didnt have red hair, I worked hard, expanded my horizons and built up my confidence.
Curse?
Father, your mindset that only those with red hair and eyes are worthy makes you a shallow and pitiful man. Let liberate you from this.
Ahh, Latreille
Yes.
... You Just like how Corneille killed my uncle, will you kill too?
As expected, the previous Emperor Vicente was assassinated by Corneille. And this man seed to be aware of the truth.
Liam said pitifully:
... Latreille Do you know? Corneille killed the previous Emperor from behind.
I will rember that, Father.
Latreille used his sword and pierced through the heart of the Emperor.
He relaxed his shoulders.
He only killed two people, but he couldnt breathe.
Germain asked uneasily:
A-Are you okay, Your Highness?
... Phew With the Emperor gone I am like an eagle that broke free of my chains, and can fly freely in the sky But right now, my body feels as heavy as lead.
Im relieved.
Why?
Those who kill their father with their own hands will beco no different from monsters if they cant take the burden on their conscience.
... Thats, true.
But for the future of the Empire Prince Latreille, please brave on no matter what sins you have to shoulder. I will do what I can to assist you.
Germain My deepest thanks.
Their eyes t.
And they smiled.
Call in the n to cover up the scene. We need the palace physician to make a false report. In the end, it is great that there are no injuries on the face of the Emperor.
You managed to keep your calm about this.
No, judging from the blood stained room, Im not calm at all Latreille mocked himself.
Germain smiled confidently.
Please be at ease. I thought this might happen, and already bribed the maids. The stained beddings, carpets, and drapes could be disposed of and replaced in no ti.
You actually!?
Well, I am following the example of that strategist this is one of several asures that I prepared.
Fufu I see.
The guard commander would probably suspect that the Emperor was assassinated. What should we do?
That person is soone who turns with the wind. He will stand on our side if you offer him good terms. If he proves to be trouble, kill him.
Yes, the guards that dont take bribes would be assigned to other places. We will disguise it as an accident and
I will leave it to you.
Germain lowered his head respectfully, then looked towards Latreille.
Your Highness, this is the beginning.
Ahh Now is just the beginning.
To the creation of a new Empire.
He held his sword up and wiped away the bloodstain.
If he only cares about those who have passed on, he wouldnt be able to pave a path to the future.
Imperial Year 851, 6th June.
It was a bright and sunny day in the morning, but dark clouds lood suddenly and heavy rain fell.
Shocking news stunned the entire capital.
The Emperor had died.
Wiping away the joy of beating back the High Britannian Army, this news hung heavily.
And the sixth Concubine Johaprecia Octovia committed suicide to be with her husband.
The capital was covered in the solemn atmosphere of mourning the many dead soldiers, the passing of the Emperor and the death of the Concubine.
The next day, 7th June, amidst the torrent of chaos
The Second Prince Allen Deux Latreille announced his succession as the new Emperor.
