Chapter 8 (2/2)
At this point, the Emperor felt a little ehtly furious, he stared at this young man who embarrassed him in front of everyone Just when he was about to decide the fate of O'Neil Andrew Morisette's whole life, the youngwords stopped all the words that already came to his mouth
The young ! Uncle! I have said that you were the most compassionate one You must remember that my mother was born in Feston Palace Am I correct? Oh God! I can finally accorace! Before you announce this decision, can I request one thing of you? Really! Just one small request!”
Alfa III His Majesty was coht! It was Feston Palace The young ht back ht at that place! Oh God! How could he forget? His young self had anticipated the birth of his sister for so long They were the little devils in the palace They gave every single person who took care of theether; they pranked their teachers together; they plucked their father's beard when he was fast asleep The Emperor was unable to pull himself out of the turmoil of memories
When did he forget all these things? Alfa III His Majesty knew that he did not forget He had never forgotten all of these He had simply not touched upon these e of Mica gazing upon him for the last time before she was married off to a faraway place appeared in His Majesty the Eony made the Most Supreme One twist restlessly in his Imperial chair
He stopped the romantic relationshi+p between his sister and a paladin For the benefit of the Imperial family, he married her to the Duke of the Andrew family whom she had only seen twice before The Duke was older than the princess by more than ten years, and at that time, he already had three wives and two sons
His Majesty the Eh officials clearly knew so suspicious of that young h officials were truly regretful! They had overlooked an extremely important problehi son of the Andrew family But he was also the blood-related nephew of His Majesty the Emperor in this palace! No one dared to interrupt the conversation between two members of the Imperial family
A servant by the Eer and softly coughed
Alfa III His Majesty finally came to his senses! ”Ah YouWhat did you say?” The Emperor was flustered
Oscar observed the changes in the facial expression of the E to his analysis, Alfa III His Majesty was an emotional person If this was not the case, he would not have so many lovers Even if Alfa III His Majesty co an e, the insidious and unscrupulous, his emotional aspect had become his ultimate weakness
”Uncle! I hope that you could grant me my wish before you announced your will!” Oscar saw his win co This 'uncle' that he called was definitely not in vain
Alfa III the Emperor quickly adjusted his facial expression ”Say it! If it is reasonable, I will definitely grant your wish”
Oscar's expression quickly turned down His eyes were slightly red ”Uncle, you must know that my mother was most reluctant to be the model for the painters in the palace when she was still alive And so there was only one painting of her and that is the one in your study It has been ten years! I alot what ive ! That is my sole request”
Alfa III His Majesty took a long time to recover from his previous state and was immediately drowned in the heavy emotions of pain and sorro He loved to stay around in those party balls He had forgotten how long he had not been to that study already There was Mica in that study He was afraid to see her Even more afraid to think about her
He knew that Mica was not happy after she was married off to a faraway place After sonant and then she had difficulty in delivering her child After delivering her child, Mica's body became truly weak She passed away on the fourth year after she gave birth to her child Alfa III His Majesty vividly recalled the situation when he knew of his sister's death He had destroyed every single thing he had in his reach to sabel He thought that the Duke was responsible for her death: he did not take good care of his sister! He let her die at such a young age From that moment afterwards, the Emperor and the Duke had a bad relationshi+p
The Emperor took a close look at this child in front of him for the first time His hair was like Mica's dark brown, curly hair; His nose was like Mica's small yet tall nose; His lip was like Mica's as well The way he opened and closed hisOh God! This is little Mica's son
He did not answer Oscar's question He was shocked by his own observation He had been thinking of a way to hold Dortnored this child all this time All his foul plans had always revolved around Mica's son
Alfa III His Majesty suddenly realized that the relationshi+p between him and the Duke should not be this way In past history, many emperors in the Morisette Dynasty had been close friends with the Duke of the Andrew fa time He could also be friends with the Duke The Emperor finally honestly faced the proble tiivable mistake that he had done He should not have forced Mica into the e with the Duke He should not have blamed all of this on the Duke after Mica's death He should not have used the innocent child to strike a blow at the Duke Oh God! After avoiding these problems for so many years, he had come back full circle
The Emperor had no idea how he could reply to this child's request He truly had no idea! He had an urge to look at Mica noell But the Emperor knew that this matter should end here Now that he could face his own ain The Es he had done in the past were none other than euments He clearly remembered the final words of the old Eests the idea of weakening the Andrew family, use hiests the idea of eli the Andrew family, remember this! Do not hesitate! Sentence this person to death!”
It was over! All over! The Emperor mumbled to himself in his heart For Mica's son, all of this should coainst the Andrew Fa that would only make the other Lord in the Empire cold-hearted Moreover, this would only benefit the people with bad intentions
The Ee the Secretary of State at an appropriate time That fellow had sown hatred towards the Andrew faht clearly about his actions, he must not let Ross do whatever he wanted anymore If this Secretary of State truly wanted to eliminate Andrew, he would make orders based on his father's last words Only within a minute, the place of the Secretary of State in the Eed from the main force to attack the Andrew family to one of the chess pieces to control its power The Emperor was still wise There must still be so as it didn't get too out of hand as before And he could still slowly fix the relationshi+p between the Duke and himself, then the future still held a lot of hope
Alfa III His Majesty'snow! He felt relaxed All these years of worrying and self-blame were finally resolved completely because of the words of this child! Alfa III His Majesty felt a little fearful about his doings of attacking the Andrew family wholeheartedly before Luckily, the Duke was an understanding person Alfa III His Majesty already knew that the person in fault was himself Mica! Poor Mica! If he wanted to coin with her child!
”Oscar!” When the Emperor called the nickna now The cute Mica! Her favorite puppy was named Oscar as well! This Mica! She even jokes on her own son! Upon thinking about this, the E Oscar found it odd
”Oscar! I feel your deep grief Please tell your father that everything was ht after His Majesty the Eh officials below hian to clamor in discussion They knew the power of His Majesty the Emperor's words They had no idea as to why His Majesty the Einal intention Even this afternoon, they were still discussing with His Majesty the E had changed! The Eainst the Andrew family, that he had adopted for more than ten years
”Please shut up, would you?” These people had no manners! Alfa III His Majesty's h officials ere in a chaotic state
The high officials shut theirwas irreversible now that the Emperor had admitted his mistakes in public They should reconsider their attitudes towards the Andrew faain from their own standpoint
”Oscar! Please forgive these oldjust now! Yes! Mica had only one painting of herself I spent a lot of energy to sit her down in front of the painter back then! But it is really unfortunate! I cannot give you that painting That is also my memoir of her But there is one way to make your wish come true Come forward and accept my order!”
Oscar stepped forwards and kneeled on one knee by the foot of the Emperor
Alfa III His Majesty took the crown froaze scanned everyone under his Imperial chair and at last turned to Oscar The palace was extrele breath
”I hereby announce!” His Majesty the Enified voice even resonated to the hallway outside of the palace ”I hereby renounce all the crimes that O'Neil Andrew Morisette had coain accepts O'Neil Andrew Morisette as a member of Imperialty Stand up, Oscar! You are now a member of Imperialty You have no need to receive orders in this manner”

”Very well then, child! Listen to me As the sole son of Princess Mica Alfa Morisette, you will becolory that were once possessed by the Princess Now, I bestow the title of Prince upon you, O'Neil Andrew Morisette!”
The high officials could not sit still anyiven by the Emperor! One after another, they stood up for objection The whole palace immediately became chaotic
Alfa III His Majesty slammed hard on the arh officials finally quietened, but there were still a few brave ones voicing their objection in a small voice
”Okay! If all the high officials object to this, then I have one question to all of you: who a you have the ability to decide the title of the sole son of Princess Mica Alfa Morisette?”
Deciding the title of a noble was a right only of the Emperor Not even the Ministry of Senior nobility had the authority to interfere with this right His Majesty the Eh officials
”I do not object to all the officials voicing their opinions But should you speak one more useless sentence, I ain” Alfa III His Majesty's cold voicein their holes None of theh officials had no other option Their leader, the Secretary of State did not attend this event in order to avoid suspicion upon himself Little did he anticipate this situation would happen at all
Oscar did not expect Alfa III His Majesty would bestow a title upon him He even suspected that His Majesty the Emperor had knohat he had planned to do He had just been announced as a Prince! Oscar underestis of the Emperor towards the Princess Just like Sasha and hi called emotions?
Alfa III His Majesty was furious He knew that these people down there were mostly useless people The truly wise ht with the Andrew faating, his relationshi+p with the Duke would not be as bad as it was now His Majesty the Eain found a suitable excuse for his own mistake He was always this way
”No reat! You! Yes! That's you! Give your chair to the Prince”
The high official that was pointed at by the Eot down from his chair in a flustered manner and respectfully placed the chair by Oscar's side Then, he bowed and left
Oscar knew that it was this official whose voice was the loudest during the cohtly to the E chair that was fairly co on this chair The Emperor just called him Prince This meant that this matter had finally been decided No one could threaten him now
The Emperor smiled as he looked at Oscar ”Oscar! Haha! Now you are Prince O'Neil Oh, that's right! I rant your wish You knohat, yourmy palace at any time when she was still alive Now, you can inherit this privilege of hers This way, you can enter my study whenever you think of her”
