Verduny, Second Prince, Edward and Owen stay in the room and start their discussion, before that Verduny cast soundproof spell on the room.
*grin* "It seems brother relationships with sister Lydia getting better. What's happened with 'I don't care about her'? Brother even told me to avoiding her too, right?" *asking mischievously*
"Well, a lot happened, I'll tell you later. But it's seem Your Highness are having a hard time earlier?" *smirk*
*frown* "I don't like that smile of yours, Brother. Can you please stop smirking? Edward must have a hard time working with you." *bitter smile and looking at Edward*
"Certainly, Your Highness. He throw me a lot of work without hesitation" *nodding with all he might.*
"I feel honored, Your Highness" *smile*
*irritated* "I'm not complimenting you, Brother. Nevermind that, what important matter that you want to discuss with me so badly about?" *asking monotone*
*sit down* "Then I'll be blunt to you, I'm agree to be your ally in your war for the throne. I'll make you become the next Emperor for sure." *serious and determinant*
*surprised* "Why are you suddenly changing your mind, Brother?" *asking with suspicious*
"Your eldest brother already hate me, with just that reason is enough for him to slander me. He'll attack me and my family sooner or later. If his target only me, it's fine. But if he aiming my people, I'll strike back. Anyway, I won't let a person like him become the next Emperor" *serious*
*serious* "Did he do something to you, Brother?" *worried*
*glance* "He did a lot of thing to me, it won't budge me thought. But do you remember the person who made my father run away? I think that person's still alive." *worried*
*shocked* "Are you certain of this?" *serious*
"Yes, although there's no evidence but there's a possibility. In the past that old man of mine run away as soon as that incident happened. It's just my suspicious, but maybe the reasons that old man run away was to hide that person."
*listening* "That's make sense" *thinking hard*
"Don't you think it's weird? For a greedy person like him to throw away his wealth casually. He didn't even love me for a bit. And his letter, that letter are a threat for me to be his heir. Maybe there's a reason why he want me to become the next duke." *suspicious*
*realize something* "Are you perhaps suspecting that person and that old man scheming something with the first prince?" *come to conclusion*
"Yes" *firmly*
*halt* "If it's true, it'll be too dangerous for us. They all are a cunning wicked people. Whatever their reasons, we can't let it happen" *decide*
"Your Highness, the truth is I have a dreams that you will be the next Emperor in the future, but..." *hesitant*
"But? Don't make me nervous, brother." *uneasy*
"...you don't have any queen or wives in your throne."
*standing* "WHAT?! What about Rosemary? We are getting married soon." *loud*
"... It's seems the Lady will die. But, I don't know the cause of her death. I'm sorry."
*shocked* "..." *losing his balance*
"BE CAREFUL YOUR HIGHNESS!" *Owen trying to help him*
*raise his hand* "It's alright, don't worry." *sit down*
The rooms became quiet for awhile
"... Rosemary don't have any sickness. If she's die then she must get killed by someone. And why I can't think of someone else except for my own elder brother as the culprit?" *sad and angry*
"I'm sorry for you, but you don't need to worry too much, Your Highness. It's just one of my dreams." *trying to confronting him*
*bitter smile* "Brother, perhaps it's just a dreams for you, but it won't be hurt to be careful. Thank you for your warning, brother."
"It's fine, I'll help you to get your throne and destroy that brother of yours eventually." *determinant*
"... If he want to kill Rosemary, he'll choose a special moments to make me remember and feel miserable. Base on his cruelty he'll kill her in front of my eyes. Is he going to send an assassins at our wedding?" *deep thought*
"It's too risky to send assassins at that time. The palace will be full of guard patrolling, but looking at his brutally there's a possibility. But if he's a bit wise then it'll happen when you sneak out in the palace for a date with Lady Alexandrite. For that, he must know your schedule. It seems you need to check your servants and attendants in case there's a spy among them."
"You're right, Brother. Owen, make a note of that and carry it out immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness." *writing*
"It's good to be careful. But don't overdone it, it'll make the enemy get suspicious and change their plans. That's remind me, there's always a possibility the Lady will be attacked when she's alone too. If his style still the same, she'll get an ambush and it can happen in anywhere and anytime. So be careful."
"I know, brother. I'm thinking of hiring a secret guard for her."
*grin* "Heh, I know you're smart. I was the one who teach you after all." *smug*
*smile* "That's right, I was the second genius when you're the first genius, right Brother?" *teasing*
"A.. anyway, I'll continue my research teams, do you want to join our research?"
*confused* "Aren't that teams already disperse? You're the one who disband them, right Brother? What's the reasons again?" *pondering*
*answering* "It's because the Lord already have a lot of work establishing and developing the Dukedom. The Lord don't want his work load increase with additional report from research teams. The Lord even lead the team directly. Although we've been suggesting him to appoint other person to lead the research. If he did that, there'll be only a report about the result. The Lord are just too stubborn."
*snap* "Edward, continue your behavior and you'll get grounded." *menacing*
*gasp* "Please forgive my rude behavior earlier, my Lord." *wronged*
*chuckles* "I'm glad you two are still close and friendly to each other like always."
*glance at second prince* "Just you know, my teams never get disbanded. I just send them separately to studying more about magic item and spells from a different place starting from the normal place, a dangerous place, a weird place and even in a rural place. They still reporting about their research regularly" *proud*
Everyone get speechless, they're starting feel pity for Verduny's teams member.
"Haha, what'll you make this time, Brother?"
"I'm thinking of making a new communication device and finish the long distant teleportation spell in previous research. What do you think?" *glance*
"Communication device are a good idea, it'll help us exchange information more effectively. And the teleportation research will make a big benefits too. I'll help you with anything you need, Brother." *smile*
"You don't need to help me in my research, just help me find that person and my father. Find their positions, conditions and whatever they do. If you can find them, just let them be and notify me immediately. They owe me a lot and I must take care of them myself." *dark aura*
*chuckles* "Alright, you have my words Brother. I'll help you find them. Owen, note that."
"Yes Your Highness" *writing* "Your Highness, Your Excellently, can I ask who's this 'that person' you have been talking about?" *curious*
"That's right, my Lord. What 'that person' true identity that make you two so wary?"
Verduny and the Second Prince looking at each other.
"I only can tell you, that person are really a dangerous person." *serious*
"We can't tell you that person identity for now, it's too dangerous. Alright, let's stop this serious talk. We're finally meet again after a long time, let's talk about something else. Owen, bring some snack and tea!"
"Yes Your Highness." *bows and preparing the tea*
"My Lord, it's already past lunch time." *reminding Verduny*
"That's right, I promise my wife to look for her if I already finish my discussion."
"Then, let's find them together. I still curious about you get better relationship with sister in law. After all you heartlessly told me to ignored her. You will tell me right, Brother?" *sparkling eyes*
*ugh* "I... I'll tell you later, let's have lunch first." *reluctant*
*sulk* "When are you gonna tell me? I'm curious to death already, Brother."
*knock knock knock*
"Owen, open the door!" *ordering*
"Yes, Your Highness"
