Chapter 527 - Tale of Rain Part 9 (2/2)
He could only blink shocked as he began to pull out herbs from his bag. ”This is surprising.”
”Is it? You said they got along.”
”But did she actually say…”
”Give me Rhys! I want Rhys to be mine.”
Isaki almost dropped the bottle in his hands and Tetsuki chuckled. ”Such bold words from a six-year-old child.”
”She also said she wants nobody but Rhys.”
Isaki already suspected it when he saw the Princess reaction that time but even then he was unsure. He did not want to jump to conclusions just in case he was wrong. But to think she actually…
”I was thinking of agreeing.”
”Huh? But Princess Lyn has a fiance.”
”I am aware of the Mist Kingdom customs regarding marriage. While it is unusual it is not as bad as ours. Look how many people father has in his harem.”
”Indeed but the whole point of us arranging marriages for ourselves is because we want to avoid the multiple partners scenario.”
”There is no need to worry. I believe this girl is serious and Rhys too. The only issue is..”
”Right our father. That man would ruin things.” A marriage with a Princess from one of the prestigious families. Even though Lyn is only the second Princess, that person will try to do something unreasonable. ”He has no intention of passing down the throne either.”
One would think that man would retire already due to his old age but instead he gets greedier by the day.
”It is trouble, we need him to step down. Not only are his women consuming the funds fast but now there is Rhys marriage involved.”
The only way for Rhys to get Lyn peacefully is for their father to get out of the picture. Most people would think this is cruel and cold hearted but he no longer saw that man as his father.
”How is the revolt plan?”
”Going well but I believe that he also has the same plan.”
A deep sigh escaped his lips. Of course, that person would think of the same thing. However it should be alright. First brother is no pushover and he seems serious about the throne this time. Actually, this man had the capability to take the throne from the moment he was a teenager. But he didn't do that at all. Isaki always wondered why.
”This is troubling. I think we should inform Rhys now. I know you didn't want to involve him but…”
Tetsuki nodded. ”I understand I also think it is in that girl's best interest.”
Isaki frowned when he heard those words. ”Is the situation..”
”King Osamu is a strong man, I believe he will hold out.”
If the King does not hold out then it will be bad for everybody. King Osamu has to become the emperor to unite the scattered kingdoms. There is nobody else but that man who is capable of that. Isaki knew that Tetsuki agreed with this too. The Empire needs a ruler, one ruler to keep everybody in place. With the current situation, how long will it be until everything falls apart?
