YM778.TV Chapter 116: A Sudden Terrorist Attack (1)
****STAR OF THRONE HALL****
Emperor Leirano was there when the Empress made that statement in front of the Crown Prince and even though the eldest prince is under solitary confinement, Emperor Leirano didn\'t take away Alois\' Crown Prince position.
Right now, they need to discuss an important matter because of the news that they got about the Crown Prince\'s sudden death in his own Palace.
For the past three years, from the reports coming from one of the Emperor\'s subordinates that stationed within the Crown Prince Palace, there wasn\'t any suspicious movement that\'s happening, and all of the foods and things are going through inspection before the Crown Prince receive it.
Emperor Leirano looked at his first wife, Raziah, who still have a calm disposition, but the Emperor noticed how the Empress clenches her fists as she gripped the hem of her dress as she looked straight ahead.
\'Of course, no matter how harsh she was back then but still, it\'s still our child that who just died, and his corpse was laid within his bedroom and the Royal Knights didn\'t even hear a noise from the inside!\'
The Emperor\'s thoughts darkened as he remembered what he saw within the Crown Prince\'s bedroom and an unknown spear that pierced through the eldest prince\'s heart that took away his life.
He shook off his head as he didn\'t want to be reminded of his eldest prince\'s dead body and as he was about to start this assembly without Marquis Chevalier however…
The people inside the Star of Throne Hall heard heavy steps that runs towards the direction of this place and without a second though….
*BAM!
"YOUR MAJESTY!"
They saw the Royal Knight who suddenly barged into this room, and it seemed like he forgot the etiquette and almost paled because of what he did and was about to apologize when the Emperor stood up and spoke.
"It seems like you have an urgent matter to say for you to forgo the etiquettes. I\'ll let this slide for now. Tell us, is there something wrong?"
As the Emperor pardoned the Royal Knight\'s lack of decorum, the Royal Knight immediately ran towards the Throne Hall and half-kneeled while panting heavily.
"F-forgive me, Your Majesty! B-but…."
Empress Raziah, who got her thoughts calmed down for a moment and gently asked the Royal Knight; "Tell us slowly, young Knight."
When the Royal Knight heard the gentle words coming from the Empress, he bowed down immediately and relied his report for everyone to hear and the moment he laid his words, the people inside the Throne Hall had a shock expression on their faces.
"WHAT? THE CHEVALIER HOUSEHOLD MANOR GOT UNDER ATTACK?! INSIDE THE CENTRAL REGION?!"
....
......….

[FLASHBACK]
LOCATION: CHEVALIER HOUSEHOLD MANOR
****HEADMASTER OFFICE****
"So, what should we do now?"
Harrison said as he broke the ice of silence that surrounds them the moment he asked those questions to the other four people inside this office.
"Well, for a moment, I guess we will have to wait for something?"
Francis said with an absolutely not sure statement because he also didn\'t know what to do as well and he was never interested in politics or the noble society even though he is acquainted with the Headmaster and his family though.
\'In the current timeline, although I don\'t have that many connections since I didn\'t take up the route to become an Instructor at Lumen Academy, but I still manage to make an acquaintance to the Headmaster with the help of one of my master\'s tokens with me and their letter that addressed to the former Count of La Fontaine household.\'
Even in the previous timeline, Francis didn\'t know the contents of the letter that his masters written to the former Count, and he wasn\'t that privy to know about their relationship with one another, but Francis remembered something from one of his masters said this to him;
« …. "One day, you will learn the true meaning of someone\'s role. For now, it will be better for you to accept any role that bestowed upon you but upon breaking into the shackles then, you will know it." ….. »
It left him a vague statement that he couldn\'t decipher, even in the current timeline, he doesn\'t have any idea about it.
He just brushed off those statements coming from one of his master\'s but there are times that he would think about it but no matter how much he tried to understand, it still leave him in a void of nothing.
"Wait for something? More likely, a summoned coming from the Royal Palace, right?"
Felicity said as she took another sip of her tea while looking at the people around her and frowns for a moment.
\'That would be the outcome of this issue for now. The Emperor would likely to summon the members from the three factions and I bet he would choose only that worthy for this issue.\'
The Lady Marchioness thought as she could predicted this would happen and there would be no coincidence that the Royal family wouldn\'t want this issue to be public and wanted to prevent any information regarding the Crown Prince\'s sudden death exposed to the public.
There is a good reason for that and it\'s most likely about [that event] that would take place for more or less three months from now.
\'However, no secrets would remain hidden forever and the Royal family should prepare about something in advance in order to avoid any commotion.\'
Even though that b*stard went into solitary confinement because of his crimes from three years ago, the Emperor didn\'t strip the eldest prince\'s Crown Prince position to him is because it would become cause an imbalance for the three factions if the sudden change of the Crown Prince would take place.
Although the Emperor had another royal prince, those princes are from his second wife, Queen Eula and her household is part of the Aristocratic faction that would cause an issue for both factions if that happened.
\'From the information I had gathered, there might be a chance that a royal prince from the Queen\'s child would be appointed as the new Crown Prince, but I have met some of them and I noticed that they weren\'t that interested in the crown or something.\'
However, it\'s too early for Felicity to think about it and about the royal summoned coming from the Emperor would just arrive in this manor in no time.
\'Since they couldn\'t delay this matter any longer and they need a solution for a moment before [that event] would start.\'
