Chapter 188: Broken Promises
"Father, did you call here to arrange about my coronation?" Sylvia asked.
"Yes, princess. I don’t want to delay any longer. I will do the coronation now," he said and started discussing with the priest. While Sylvia came out of the chamber, something was building inside her.
She looked at the leaving entrance of the tribal empire, finding the crown prince Maximus had already left, which made her speak. "This is the right way. He needs his throne, so do I. This relationship could never go beyond this."
She said and walked back to her chamber, but tears fell on her eyes when, after so long a time, Marcus Fulcinius Eumenius, the supreme god, appeared before her, holding her tightly.
"What are you doing? Didn’t I say I’m not your sister?" Sylvia said, trying to push him away. But Marcus didn’t let her. He used magic to make something play on a screen, letting her see the truth.
"You might have forgotten everything, but I didn’t. I didn’t forget that you are my sister. For a moment, I was blinded by power and forgot that there was someone of my own, but I have remembered. You are my sister, the heavenly princess." Marcus said while showing her a view of the heavenly realm.
Sylvia came forward, looking at herself wearing a princess-like attire that made her look no less than a fairy. She found herself pulled inside the scene, looking at her own self dancing in happiness amidst the clouds filled with the heavenly realm.
"Is it really me? Is it really me as the heavenly princess?" she mumbled, and went ahead, following the previous Sylvia who went to the tree where a boy was sitting reading a book.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Whenever I find you, you’re always holding a book in your hand. Why are you so studious?" the other Sylvia asked.
"Because I’m going to study and be the successor of the father. I’m not a proper god who will have power, so knowledge is my power. So don’t disturb me if you don’t want to study," the boy spoke, but his face wasn’t visible.
