Chapter 10 (2/2)

Now, Sasha was not that little devil as an annoying troublemaker anymore Her voice was clear-cut and powerful, exactly like the famous politicians

”Father'sthe early days when you were caught, father pondered repeatedly At that ti out a rescue for you would result in ain”

When Oscar heard this, he could not help but let out a cold snort Suddenly, the living room's temperature dropped

Sasha was sensitive enough to feel a change in her brother She was astonished at his loftiness It was so she had never seen or experienced before She only felt as though the sudden cold stream nearly left her frozen

”Brother! Please do not get angry? I know saying this would rier, but please don't blame father You don't believe that he loves you dearly which I've always known But you should know that father has no ill intentions towards you He has never hurt you Don't tell me you have not noticed this before?”

Oscar knew that everything Sasha said was true Nevertheless, he still cared about his father after all He just couldn't bare tolerating his father's use tactics by co it with his ten years of imprisonment

Sasha knew that she should continue talking She hoped her brother could understand his father's deep love for hiree, had detested her foster father when he handed over her most beloved brother to the Ministry of Justice She even forced herself to not speak even a single word to him However, when she understood clearly about some of the principles it involved, she was unable to not believe this Duke He always treated Oscar and hiscannot be commented

The Duke had never owed the Princess The one who truly owed the princess was His Majesty the Eer sister's wish and forcefully broke up the lovers wholove - no one who could retort the supre's house, all female mees The lucky ones would work hard to ic ones were like Oscar's mother, who until death, still held onto the disillusionment of romance that shattered her spirit

The Duke loved this beautiful princess that was 10 years younger than hireed to this e As compared to the Emperor's power and influence, the Duke back then was just as i The Duke still remembered the first time he met Mica Alfa Morisette, he was not aware that this beautiful girl passing through the garden court, was the titan Eer Iirl's origin, and that already crossed the line

The Emperor did not reply hiht, that was enough for hieer the Duke's appreciation for him even more

After consulting the opinion of many elders of the Imperial family, the Emperor announced his decision The Duke's response was as he expected Although the Duke had found out about the girl's identity through other channels, this did not affect his good impression of His Majesty the Emperor

The Duke was evidently dazzled by surprise He sihness the Princess would already have given her heart to another person The Duke was at his prih he already had three wives, the position to be his hness the Princess was undoubtedly the most suitable choice for this role

Although the Duke knew that the ht into it at all The Andrew's family had married numerous Princesses from the Morisette dynasty and anyone would know that that did not change a thing So, the Duke ht her back to his beautiful hometown Until the both of them had finally had the opportunity to spend some time alone as a couple, only did he realize that he hi

When the Duke realized that the Princess did not feel any love for him at all, he started to reflect At this time, he also came to understand that the Princess had a lover before this - the holy knight who had long since been sent away by the Eion

Dortave up easily So with great confidence, he pursued the Princess The weird thing was that the Princess was already his wife, but the Duke did not quickly assu a husband He hoped that his love would, in the end, get the Princess's love in return

Mica Alfa Morisette was not a qualified Princess because she did not know her role in the dynasty and the Imperial household However, she received ht that she would becoe What ridiculous innocence! She innocently assumed the reason her brother, the Emperor broke her up froht was a famous senior colonel; yet here, her husband was only a marshal

The Princess was lamentable Ultimately, her pure loyalty towards love has ruined her whole life But, she wasn't wrong - was being utterly loyal to love considered aa person head over heels also considered so? The Princess knew that her husband's adoration for her beats all his other wives; he was a good person, a good man However, these did not make her fall in love with him The princess's heart, aside from that lover far away at the frontier, could not accommodate for anyone else anymore

The Ier caused the Princess to fall into despair They urgently needed her to give birth to a boy for the Andrew fahtly more cowardly instead After the fifth letter came from her family, she finally went to bed with the Duke

The Duke had a rough idea of the contents of these letters He felt that this was a very good opportunity Once the action of physical body was involved, then this relationshi+p may well develop into true love

However, the situation did not go as the Duke thought it would After the Princess confirnant, she refused his ”invitation” Mica was deeply ashanant with a child for a man that she did not love However, when she al birth, she was deeply uilt, and ave him life She nah her life that was already falling apart

Since Oscar became sensible, he knew his mother was different than the other mothers His mother was more beautiful compared to the rest; his mother was frailer compared to the rest; his mother loved her own child more than any other mothers Oscar passionately hoped that he could become one of the clan's brave warriors That way, he could protect his mother

The youngster hated and opposed anything that could threaten histhat, it naturally included his father When his mother passed away, he did not allow his father to enter the room at all He knew that every time this chap arrived, his mother felt depressed for quite awhile The five-year-old youngster did not know the trueof death as he slept in the same bed with his mother's corpse until she was buried

The Duke was at his wit's end dealing with the Emperor's wrath and even more so, he did not kno to refute The Duke felt that it was his oishful thinking that killed the Princess, who obviously did not know the ways of the world Hence he chose to evade it He e to a one to the faraway Imperial capital to relax, committed the so-called ”First titan Court Case”

The Duke hurried to the I or sestures, he then understood that thisHe hinted to the Emperor many times about this child's past history, but the E that he had forgotten himself His Majesty's Cabinet Ministers became a stymie to him The Duke's request for help in Dulin practically hit all four walls He had considered using the army to forcefully lead the child out of Dulin In turn, that would be labeled as a serious cri that himself and the fa, but once the rip was torn to an unree, Andreould be in deep trouble with enemies everywhere and no way out

The Duke sacrificed this child He had no choice but to let the child bear the guilt At the Princess' grave, he cried in sorrow until he lost his voice He paid a bitter price for theHis son locked up in Daa; a world without justice

The Duke was extremely worried and troubled by his son's safety For the first tia prison's warden He listened to the warden's suggestion to have his son was locked up in the scariest water dungeon along with the West land's King of Murderers, as secretly imprisoned there No one could survive in the hands of aof Murderers and likewise, no one couldof Murderers ”Hopefully little Oscar would not get knocked down by the horrifying water dungeon This is for his own good after all!” After drying his tears, the Duke could only pray in silent

The Ministry of Justice's poas overwhela prison The Duke would not allow his son to be ilooht of day, forenvironment that a child could adapt to Once Oscar appeared publicly in prison, danger also followed The hostility of the Secretary of State towards him could completely devour him as a whole The Duke required powerful help The only ones who could contend against the Ministry of Justice in Da shots

The Duke started to have secret contact with the influences these bigshots represented He even went against his own conscience and did a lot of is; but all of it was for his son, for the flesh and blood the Princess exchanged by sacrificing her health The Duke showed no hesitation before the criminals The Andrew family's influences always provided the cri shots in prison would take up the responsibility of protecting and nurturing little Oscar Yet, the Duke knew that he could not take care of everything If the child wanted to survive, he still had to depend on his own strength

The Duke knew that his son's eyes were almost blinded He also knew that a killer alht had dueled with him Every time little Oscar was soaked in blood, the Duke's heart would flutter

When he found out that his son had attained the crown of the Underworld, he was so overjoyed that he screa and formidable! As a father, the Duke could finally smile with joy many years after that day

Oscar was glad that the Poison doctor had dalad He had never wept in front of his sister Thank goodness! If that little rascal saw his tearful look, she would definitely shout it to the world for all to know

Now, Oscar understood everything He did not know that he and his ht that much pain to his father He only knehat Sasha said was the truth and what his father said were more than the truth The reason his father used Sasha as a er was because he hoped Oscar would accept the truth without being pressured Aster was most relaxed around Sasha

The youngster had accepted it He was strong, precocious, stubborn, but he understood reason even more In the end, his father would still his father If he became a father, he probably wouldn't have done any better than the Duke The youngster ceased his tearless weeping; all his emotions turned into pride He was the fourth son of Dortht up by his father's countless effort

Sasha observed her brother carefully She wasn't sure just how much he had listened to

Oscar gave his sister a very gentle se, his heart resumed its serenity Since he was his father'swas just a matter of fact

”Sasha, don't look at e way I am fine!” Oscar appeased his sister ”You haven't told me father's opinions about my future!”

”Father only said this to me- do whatever you want to do If you stir up any trouble, worse come to worse, you could run back ho power Besides, everyone at home misses you!”

”Hahahahahaha! Ola! I understand Father still has some sense of hu, after all” Although Oscar had already developed an unprecedented respect and love for his father, he did notabout the ”old man”

”Ola!” Sasha copied her brother's catchphrase ”Brother, did you know? The old s that happened in the Iuess the words that you said Father told h difficult times safe and soundly because he believes that you've noticed how strongly Alfa III cares about friendshi+ps So I a to Feston Palace today But 'old man', ha! It really suits hiht the Emperor would crown you as the Prince of the Polar Bears! Haha! Brother! Do you like the title? But it seems that you should have an in-depth discussion with father about this matter”

Oscar would never doubt his sister's wisdo effort for him She could stand with her family and yet understand the Emperor's plot from another point of view beyond the family's It proved that Sasha's irl could be ist

Oscar was confident about that

Sasha was a little sleepy After she got up froe bed in her brother's rooh Oscar felt that it was somewhat inappropriate, he immediately convinced himself; Sasha and he have never slept separately before when they were young

It seeht as she took out a fairy tale book fro her would always listen to a segment of a story before bed, and naturally, the person who coaxed her to sleep was her brother, Oscar After Oscar was arrested, she gave up the habit of listening to a story before bed, but she did not forget about it Instead, Sasha waited painfully for ten years to listen to the next part of the story

When Oscar saw this fairytale book, all sorts of ehtly yellowish, explainable by the passing of tiet the special bond it contained

He steadily took up the book and gave a hand in helping his sister find a co position

While Oscar held the book up, his past habits iue, and then skillfully found the booko, before he was arrested

For the first tiaze moved Sasha and she was mesmerized She quickly closed her eyes as she heard the sound of a little polar bear trying to express itself

”Ola! My beloved Sasha! Let's onist - Snow White was kidnapped by the seven evil dwarf bandits, her lover, the handsome prince set out on a brave journey to rescue the princess ”

Oscar presented all his storytelling skills and Sasha even shed a tear when the story started Sasha knew that this was not a dream Her tears were bitter and salty She saw her brother, radiant with delight through herthe book just like before

Oscar looked at the dried up tears on Sasha's asleep as sound asleep and was somewhat baffled His heart hurt so bad that it felt numb! Over the past ten years, he did not live as happily as Annie described Annie was fooling herself But the truth was that he willingly let Annie fool hi so bad, then he would definitely have broken down the walls of Daot in his way, to be back by Sasha's side

The boy eirl's countless dreams

S the perfume scent that resembled narcissus, little Oscar could not fall asleep He carefully thought back to the case that got hih they were apart for ten years, he never regretted that craziness he felt for the girl at that time
