Everyone fell silent
*remember something* "What made you change your mind, Your Highness?" *Lydia curious*
*dark aura* "Hmmm... My brother send to Academy but I send to the war instead despite I was more younger than him. Furthermore at that time, the first prince never went to war before. Don't you think, it's a bit too unfair?" *smiling creepily and menacing*
*smirk* "Poor you..."
Verduny mocking the prince continuously.
*sigh* "Anyway let's stop talking about the past. Brother, what's your crazy missions this time?"
*dark aura* "..." *become silent*
*hesitant* "... The Emperor want my Lord to go to war..." *Lydia answering*
The prince fell silent too. The aura in the room getting more intense. Verduny coding at Edward again, and Edward bows then leaving
*sit down* "It's getting dark, let's have dinner together."
Everyone nodding and smiling then leaving the room
On the way to dinner, they encounter the first prince

*force smile* "Greeting, Your Highness"
Verduny greets him reluctantly. Then everyone bows and salute to the First Prince except Verduny and The Second Prince
*stare* "Everyone bowing at me, why you two didn't bowing too?" *irritated*
*smile* "Your Royal Highness the First Prince, Prince Canderson Xanthus Aurum,"
*flinch* "..."
"Forgive my rudeness, Your Highness. But I'm too tired from my audience with His Majesty the Emperor before" *smile*
*continued Verduny's word* "Brother Canderson, you seem forgotten that I'm the crown prince. Then I need to remind you again, let me introduce myself to you again." *smile* "I'm The Second Prince and The Crown Prince of Diamonia Empire, Ruartzon Xanthus Aurum, don't need to bowed his head to anyone beside the Emperor" *smile*
*annoyed* "You..."
*meddling* "Do you need something, Your Royal Highness?" *smile*
*starteled* "..." *leaving without a word*

*sigh* "It's can't be helped, let's continue our destination."
"Yes, Your Highness" *they said it together*
In the dinning room
Edward have been waiting in front of the dining room
*bow* "My Lord, I already prepare the dinner as your request"
Verduny nodding and Edward open the door then everyone walk in
"My Lord, when are you requesting dinner? I can't remember" *Lydia asking with curious*
*glance* "When you're together with a persons for along time, you can understand the other person thinking with a glance" *serious*
Everyone sit and wait the dish to be served
"That's true, brother glanced at Edward to prepare diner earlier in the room." *giggles*
*impressed* "Oh, that's why he's leaving suddenly" *said Lady Alexandrite*
Edward and Owen with other servants serve the dished
*smirk* "Don't be too impressed, I instruct him by myself for along time. If he's smart, he should be my expert now."
*snap* "Thank you for the compliment" *irritated*

"Yes, Your Highness" *bow*
Then they all going to their respective destination
On the way to the room
Lydia looks worry
"What's wrong, Lydia?"
"I just never expect His Majesty the Emperor are a cruel person. He always been gentle to me."
"It's because he loves you like his own daughter. Of course, he'll be gentle to you. He hide his fangs from you."
*grit* "Are you alright, my Lord? In the audience room earlier, I almost cause trouble for you. Truthfully, I've never saw the Emperor get angry like that" *uneasy*
*smile* "It's fine, I already get used to it. Furthermore, you help me earlier, thank you"
*relieved* "..." *remember something* "My Lord, Why the Emperor want you to stay in the palace so badly?" *curious*
"It's like he said, I don't feel comfortable staying in the palace. He just want force me to something I don't like and make me suffer" *irritated*
"Why my Lord feel uncomfortable staying in here? Are this because of the Emperor? Or it's because of the first prince?"
"Both" *firmly*
They finally arrived in the room, Bella have been waiting in front of the room
*bows* "Welcome back my Lord, my Lady"
Verduny and Lydia nodding at her
"Take care of the Duchess" *ordering*
"Yes, My Lord"
*halt* "Lydia..."
Verduny holding Lydia two hands, then he close his eyes and start to chanting. Lydia body start to glowing.
*Glowing*
*confused* "My Lord? What..."
*quickly meddling* "My Lady, don't disturb him. My Lord are casting a protections spell for you. If you disturb him, it'll get dangerous and harming my Lord" *smile*
Lydia listen to Edward and stay quiet. After awhile, Verduny open his eyes
*worry* "How are you, my Lord?" *smile*
"I'm fine, how do you feel?"
"Emm... I feel more lighter than usual" *smile*
*let go of Lydia hands* "Good, I'll get going then. Don't wait for me if it's too late, we'll go back tomorrow morning."
"Yes, My Lord"
Lydia and Bella bowing to Verduny. Then Verduny turn around and start walking, Edward bowing to Lydia and Lydia nodding. Then Edward turn around and following Verduny.
On the way to Second Prince's study room
*nosebleed*
*shocked* "MY LORD!" *panicked*
*raise his left hand and his other hand wiping the blood* "It's okay, it's just a side effect from overusing magic. Don't exaggerating, we're in the hallway. I'll be fine after some rest"
*sigh* "What my Lord cast for the Madam that made you bleeding like this?" *offering a handkerchief*
That handkerchief are magic item for stop bleeding wounds.
*take the handkerchief and stop the bleeding* "I just cast the most powerful protection spell"
Verduny stop bleeding and give the handkerchief back to Edward
*take the handkerchief and save it* "My Lord are a powerful magicians and have a lot of magic capacity and mana, you won't get hurt from casting a few powerful spell"
"How about I cast it repeatedly in the same time? I even synchronizing various spells in her bloods. With this, any dangers won't hurt her and although she won't get stronger but she'll get more healthy in the future. And all the spells I cast are the permanents ones, so it won't break if none break it." *proud*
*stare* "..." *disgust*
*turn around* "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
*remember something* "Edward, like I said earlier, we'll get back tomorrow on the morning. As soon as we arrived, check our stock of food and weapons, restock them if needed. Speed up our plans. If we can't find any news assistant immediately, we can hire a temporary assistants. Gather all our elite soldier in the hall rooms and tell them I'll train all of them a new technique and spell myself, ask Sebastian if you need any help. It'll be a long war and maybe I won't be back for awhile."
*writing while walking* "Is there anything else, my Lord?"
*thinking* "Edward..."
*bad feelings* "Yes, my Lord?"
*grin* "Prepare yourself! You'll have to running and jumping repeatedly" *smile*
*stop writing because too shocked* "..." *goosebumps*
"Oh, maybe we'll need a few porters during our training, then find a few trustworthy carrier groups too." *smirk*
*pale* "Yes, my Lord"
In the Second Prince Study

Verduny immediately sit on the sofa, Edward bows with pale face and Owen immediately serve the tea and snack for Verduny.
*grin* "What's wrong, Edward? You look a bit pales. Did brother bully you again?"
*stare at Verduny* "It's nothing, Your Highness. Thank you for your concern"
"I just tell him a few things, nothing much" *drink tea*
*stab* "..."
The sentence of 'nothing much' keep repeating in Edward ears and make him more pale.
