Chapter 354
*******
It was a month of strenuous restrain for a man overwhelmed with pure love and strong craves for the one and only woman in his eyes.
The dreamy night at a brilliant festival had been played many times as treasured memories for as of that day... no such graze like the charming one at the end of a fast dance had occurred between his and the lips of the lovely lady.
’Haaa... being compliant and a gentleman... my spirit won’t last.’ — Aching for even a slight touch, Zeleskiaz’s soul hurt, craving for the woman’s closeness. Always remembering the advice the Emperor had provided after coming back from the Grand Summer day... besides the tardy yet expected reproach at his gruesome doings.
"It was more than a third part of the beasts, Zeleskiaz!... You injured my knights... but not only that! You also made it so the few shadows available won’t be able to disperse properly!! Are you this Empire’s enemy?!? Is it that!? Sh*tty brat I have for an heir!!! Am I making the Empire’s enemy my heir!? Is that it, Zeleskiaz!!!?"
"... No."
"Elaborate, d*mn it!!! Show a f*king expression, aloof idiot!! How come you appear so alive in front of Lady Marianne and in front of anyone else you appear like a psychotic madman of a Prince!? Explain!!"
"... Emperor, your voice’s pitch is heightening in an annoying tone."
"I. Don’t. CARE!!" — Exasperated at the nonchalant attitude his heir continued to showcase, Francois threw his grail at him out of angered frustration. Becoming speechless, short of air, as the Crown Prince effortlessly caught it to drink the drop of wine left inside. — "HaaaAaHAHhhh... what am I to do with you? As it has come to be, I regret giving you opportunities with the cute child on this day... you truly make it so I feel you don’t deserve anything relating her..."
Falling back on his favourite seat at his royal lounge, Francois held his head that ached greatly at the mere thought of the work he would fall into to recover what was lost at Zeleskiaz’s savage whim.
"....."
The silence was palpable, and yet... the Crown Prince had listened to the Emperor even if disinterested.
