A few minutes later

The princesses were looking like beggars in torn clothes, disheveled hairs and jewelry and teary eyes. The princes were standing facing the trees nearby, holding their ears and tears flowing, but didn’t let out sobbing sound in fear.

Eden: *threw the stick and rubbed his hands while sighing* ‘Kids now a days!!!’ *sighs and shakes his head*

He then went from there…

Just when he walked from there, shadow guards came and saw the Royal Princes and Princesses in such a state that they soon remembered that the crown prince is now under their care!!!

Shadow guards: ‘Future of this empire is in danger!!!!’ *shuddered in fear*

And seeing Eden walking from there, those princes and princesses ran towards their mother concubine to complain. Because they can’t see their emperor father unannounced.

And after they finished whole story and complaining to their heart content, they heard their mother concubine saying sadly—

*—*

Lily Palace (1st and 4th Princesses mother): “Ha~…”

*—*

Daisy Palace (2nd Princess’s and 5th Prince’s mother): “This palace can’t help you!”

*—*

Dahlia Palace (3rd Princess’s mother): “His highness the emperor has passed the decree this morning…”

*—*

Aster palace (6th Prince’s mother): “… That the new concubine and his son are exempted from etiquette!”

*—*

Lilly Palace (1st and 4th Princesses’ mother): “And can be free from any crime, except the capital crime and treason!”

*—*

That was the 1st time when they, the Royal kids, were bullied, and were not given justice….. Quite a blow for them!!! They never thought that they would have this day too where they won’t get any justice.

It was when they realized, that they can’t do anything to him and the new concubine mother. So after that one time, whenever they saw him they would hide. Those arrogant royal kids are now as timid as a mouse seeing its nemesis cat!!!!

And probably because the crown prince was under his care, those kids never bulled him too. Even the Concubines would think twice before taunting. After all, seeing their kids like that, they can imagine what kind of person that new concubine is so they never dared to make things difficult for them.

1 Year Later

Marquis Jones: completely deprived of his reputation lost his past glory, and because Edward cut ties with them, they have no way to survive…

Marchioness Jones: doesn’t have the glow of a rich lady, sometimes behaves like a total mad woman…

1st Lady Jones: married to an old merchant, basically was sold by her father for money and now doesn’t have the charm of a young maiden in her 20s…

2nd Lady Jones: ran away from the house, but was fooled by someone of her innocence and money… Jones doesn’t know whether she is alive or dead, after all, hearing this much, Marquis Jones never let her come back

Edward: enjoying his life with his 2 sons…

Eden: enjoying his life with his mom and a younger sibling, as he wished in his real life…

William (almost 3 years old): enjoying his life with a caring elder brother and a beautiful and amazing mom and a dad, who is unwanted…

Emperor: can just watch them together from distance only, but can take the crown prince anytime he wants…

Shadow guards: became servant of Iris Palace, they sometimes even hesitate before reporting the emperor about the Iris Palace’s activities…

2 Years Later

Edward: enjoying his life with his 2 sons…

Eden: going rampant in the palace with willy…

William (almost 4 years old): crazily playing with his elder brother…

Marquis Jones: only this name is left in the capital because of the concubine Jones, who has the crown prince under him…

Emperor: just watch them from distance, because he doesn’t want to be insulted unreasonably…

Shadow guards: became playmates with Eden and William…

3 Years Later

Edward: punishing his kid to make him understand their own strength…

William (almost 5 years old): *facing the wall, while closing his eyes and reviewing his mistake from past 1 hour* Hmm- so the one who played with us today was not the same guy from yesterday, but the one who took us to play on the tree!!!! Big brother is right! I need to calm my mind to think it thorough…

Eden: making strategy with those 5 shadow guards on— what playing next?

Shadow guards: really interested in playing with them, and sometimes even forgets to report to the emperor

Emperor: got used to of their behavior…

4 Years Later

Edward: angry on both the kids and not talking to them…

William (almost 6 years old): *in his mom’s arms and behaving coquettishly with him and giving empty promises* “Mom-I promise, I won’t fall next time… Because I would climb the wall carefully! Hehehe…  And I would take the guard uncles and big brother with me too… So that I can play crazily with more friends! Hahaha~”

Edward: *although angry with them, he held William in his arms protectively* “I know what’s going on in your naughty brain! Hump—”

Eden: *shook his head and just pointed at a little scratch on William’s right leg* “Mom, Willy has a scratch on his leg!”

Edward: *anger died in an instant and became worried* “…What!!! It must be paining, my baby, *cares that wound* it will be okay!!! *kisses his forehead again and again*“

Emperor: *angry and worried when he heard that the crown prince ran away from the palace alone, but then forgot about it after seeing this heartwarming scene* We think, it was a good decision to put the crown prince under them! Although they never accepted us, they accepted you!

5 Years Later

Edward: sends and picks up the crown prince from the Royal Academy on time

William (almost 7 years old): happy child, because only his mother sends and picks him up from academy and even his half-siblings gave in after hearing his big brother’s name— Hehehehe~

Eden: the emperor personally asked if he wanted to go to the academy together with other princes, but he refused without any second thought— I am here on vacation with my mom, why should I join and study again???

Emperor: disappointed that his goodwill was not accepted…
