Short Stories -03- Second Chance Ep-11— Forced Marriage 09

Edward: “Pass these 3 decrees and your crown prince would be my son, or else don’t pass them, and we all live our life peacefully.” —still teasing the crown prince without caring about the emperor.

Emperor: ‘What’s there to pass, after marrying into Palace you won’t have any relationship with your family unless you would want them!

And without even the decree, we didn’t seem to see any manner and politeness.

Seeing your sharpness, do you even need it if you can just jump from the palace wall and leave?’

PRESENT

But at that time, emperor didn’t take that 3rd decree seriously. Now he really wants to slap his past self and stop him from passing the 3rd decree.

And soon someone came and reported that the concubine Jones and prince Eden left the palace as per the decree with them.

This someone was none other than the shadow guard who was dressed as a servant, because Edward didn’t take any servant and did his work on his own, but slowly those shadow guards wore servants clothes and lives in the Iris palace like others.

Emperor: nervous, but couldn’t even show it on his face, looked at the crown prince…

Even the officials too looked at the crown prince, who didn’t even flinch from beginning to the end, like it was not him who was raised by them…?

William: calm as ever— ‘Looks like this day was unavoidable. Haa~’

10 YEARS LATER

The current emperor, Andrew Alexander, suddenly fall ill, and declared to retire from his officialdom and handover the empire to 23 years old crown prince.

No one objected this, after all, it has been years that the crown prince is helping with official matters. And everyone is satisfied with him, even if some are not satisfied, they don’t have any negative materials to retaliate…

Till now, the crown prince has never lost his corposur even when someone talk about his adopted mother and brother, he never wavered and made decisions rationally.

Even after knowing about his father emperor’s bad health be didn’t lose his cool and maintain his rational and calm behavior. Because ministers don’t know is—

Emperor: living in Iris palace and pretending to be seriously ill…

William: knew about his father but didn’t say anything— big brother! Look I am now an emperor, just like you wanted me to be. I keep my mind calm and never make decisions based on those evidences only! Are you happy?

William knew that his mom and brother are from different world, after all, it was Edward who told him all this. So he was prepared, but when the news came he was sad for a moment, but then remembered his mother’s and brother’s teaching and looked calm as ever.

(Memory of William)

Edward: “Remember to take care of yourself, you would always be my precious. And don’t cry when we are gone, after all we are not dying, but going to another world!”

William (10 years old): teary eyes but didn’t object anything…

And from that day onwards, Edward would fill those words again and again to let William adjust himself for this after 2 years.

Those shadow guards, exclusive servants of Iris Palace never leave that palace and always took care of it for Edward and Eden!

After all, it was their home too in those 10 years. They finally had a place to call home and family, but they didn’t object when Edward said that he and Eden were leaving and asked them to take care of William!

No hard feeling, but Edward never ever cared about Andrew, the emperor. It was not because he was arrogant, but precisely because he can’t change his attitude of being arrogant that he didn’t take the emperor seriously!!!

When Edward Left The Palace

Edward didn’t take much, just an extra pair of clothes, after all, when they left the palace, they only had one day left. And they didn’t want William to see them disappeared in from of him.

But Eden did leave a letter for him! So that whenever he would feel sad or confused or lonely, he could make-up his mind after reading the letter again and again.

And by now, William has learned the content of the letter by heart.

That letter only mentioned one person, their Willy and not a word about the emperor was mentioned.

As William grew, he came to know that his father was not very welcomed by his mom and big brother, and being afraid of big brother he didn’t dare to ask about the reason.

But as the time passed, he understood that they just simply don’t like him, nothing more than that. Still he didn’t mention him in front of them for fear that they would be annoyed by him and scold him

1 hour before leaving the world

Edward: sitting on the tree with his son…

 Eden: looking at the vast desert in front of him— “Mom! He would be fine, right?”

Edward: looked at his son with a smile— “I knew it! You always wanted to be called big brother, right?”

Eden: rolls his eyes— “So what! Don’t you also wanted to know about your other son?”

Yes, after coming to this world, Edward told him what he heard after his death and that he had an elder brother!

And the time passed while they were bickering playfully, soon they started disappearing from their legs to their knees, to their stomach, to their hands, and finally their head.

Only their voice echoed in that isolated area—

Edvard: said in a satisfied tone— “Let’s meet in another world and have a vacation together!”

Eden: feeling fulfilled and replied with the same satisfaction— “… Sure!”

Soon Edward found himself all alone, again! He felt upset at 1st, after all, neither Eden nor William were there with him, but then he took a deep breath and calmed down!

And then found another portal in front of him! And this time, he happily went in, after all he knew that he would find his son!
