Chapter 301: Prince With a Plan
Meanwhile, in the Empress’ tent, the situation wasn’t so festive as the two men, one an Emperor and the other a Prince, silently weighed up each other sipping the best tea they could ever have.
"Your Majesty calls her Mingxia... I met someone who called her ’Xing’ and he seemed to be much closer to her than you are", Prince Kang spoke in a condescending tone and fixed his gaze on the Emperor.
"Yeah? So? Are we going to talk about our marriage here? Let’s start with your marriage first then, Prince Kang! ", the Emperor wasn’t fazed by his provocation. But he still was surprised to know that his brother brought him here.
He is a Lu!
Xing’s words were in the Emperor’s mind. She might not know about the history of the Fire Kingdom but as someone who grew up in the Imperial Library reading books, he knew the Lu dynasty in their Kingdom was defeated by the Long Clan two centuries back and all the members of the Lu Clan and their supporters were exterminated from their kingdom. There is no Lu left in the in the Fire Kingdom as per the statistics and the current Emperor is a Long and not a Lu. So why was she so sure that he is a Lu? Unless....!
His lips curved to a smile...
And why did she think that he will be killing me because he was her supposed brother? She didn’t read the fate of her supposed brother but he did and it was really heartwarming and filled with brotherly love.
And in that fate, her brother, the divine ruler, did everything he did to protect her and give her a better life she deserved. He took revenge on those who he deemed to be responsible for the death of his father’s Huang family and deprived the good life of his sister. When his sister fell in love with an unimpressive Prince, He protected him and made him the Emperor and even after the death of the Emperor, her brother protected his sister from all those vultures waiting to take advantage of the situation and raised the crown prince by himself and made sure he was made the next Emperor even though his sister died early. He spent countless sleepless nights in planning not worrying about his health, spilled a lot of blood in protecting the ones he loved and safeguarded the innocence of his sister by becoming the most cunning person in the kingdom! Truly a good big brother! The divine ruler who protected the last Lu blood who was his nephew and a loving brother.
But in that fate, he didn’t marry and lived solely for raising the crown prince and taught him everything acting like his father and the day of the crown Prince’s coronation, with everything settled in place, he left the capital city and spent the rest of his life in the small village in their small hut, he and his sister grew up.
A heartwarming story of a brother who lived for the welfare of his sister alone to keep the promise he made to his mother despite being the one chosen by the heavens to be the divine ruler! So how different is he now? The Emperor wondered.
