71 Inheritance (2/2)

Another strange thing was this five year old Princess announced she will compete for the throne against her elder brother Vesta, many did think about who would Inherit the throne when the Emperor passed it down and to who. With so many children how cruel and brutal would the fight for the throne be, yet after all this time only a few of the Emperor's children wanted the throne. Two of which fought for power in the open all over the Empire gathering support, while the others hid away in the shadows only meeting with a select few.

The two who fought openly were Prince Vesta and Princess Tianna these two held as much power as their mothers, Empress Samara and Empress Tia many avoided this struggle for power between the two youths even their own mothers. When they tried to get their husband to do something he just said. ”Let them fight no one will die, besides they are the two who I expected this from”. With this both Tia and Samara left their two children to fight for their father's throne.

...

”Father why do you not spend more time with me!” Said a little girl swinging on the arms of her father. As the two of them play in the garden a guard can be seen not to far away with a smile on his face as he watches over the two.

”Son do you want to play with me as well? Even if you are grown we did not have much time to spend together before I sent you away to explore this world, you were only 10 years old when I sent you away.” I said looking at my son who stayed hidden not revealing that he is a prince as he even took the test in the Trial Tower and became a personal guard ending up watching over his own sister.

”Father you know how my mother raised me! I am me a blade in the dark that will kill anyone who tries to hurt my family, besides Tianna would make my day hell if I stole away her time with you.” Said the youth teasing his sister who let go of her father's arm and running up to her brother.

”Michael don't tease me I will become Empress one day! Unlike my sisters I won't throw myself at father without a fight! I refuse to let my blood control my heart.” Said Tianna even as she rushed back to me and demanded I run around with her on my shoulders. Me and Michael just laughed at her contradictory actions.

”Father will you really let her fight with Vesta? Even I see that you have placed great trust on elder brother Vesta.” Michael said as he smiled at the playful Tianna. ”You worry to much like your mothers she just wants to show she can do everything he can even without coming into my bed. Did you know out of all my recently born daughters Tianna has been receiving training from both her mother and grandmother in how to please-. As I tried to finish my words Tianna who turned bright red made sure to silence me from speaking any more.

”Why do you know this! They promised me they would not tell you.. Agh just you wait!” She said before jumping off my back and dashing away heading towards Tia, watching her leave Michael can only shake his head at me before rushing after the bright red embarrassed Princess.

Appearing from the shadow is Eleanor as she sits on my tail looking at me with a proud smile, she had raised Michael to become someone who kills for his family in the shadows just as she kills my enemies from the shadows.
