Chapter 20: Breakfast

"Reon. We need to go. Breakfast is ready." Chrystalya softly pinched his chubby cheeks.

"Okay Mommy." Reon rubbed his bright golden eyes and jumped off of the bed. He then wet to his mothets side and held her hands.

Evangelin and Rose lead them to the dinning room where Alexandrien was chatting with a person.

"Empress greets His Majesty" Chrystalya bowed then sat down on Alexandriens right side.

Reon was supposed to sit opposite her but he just went and sat next to Chrystalya.

"This is...?" The person who Alexandrien was talking to finally spoke up.

He was Darin Luison. One of the people who was responsible for her death in the original novel. He was the one who suggested to poison Chrystalya and later on he was the one who beheaded Neforeon in the Imperial Court.

A spark lighted in her eyes but she quickly supressed it.

"This? This is my wife and my son." Alexandrien said a matter of factly

"Your... son...?" Darin doubted this fact since they weren't even together. How could this... thing... be his son?

The doubt quickly dissapeard as Chrystalya fed Reon and Darin saw his little canine like teeth. It was the same as Alexandrien's when he was little.

"How did this happen?" He raised his hand to his forhead.

"He will be appointed as the crown prince in seven days. My Empress was in a bad health since she gave birth so they where recovering in the Cold Palace." Alexandrien smiled at him.

" Excuse me but why did I only just heard about this? I'm supposed to be the minister aren't I?"

"Because I only knew it yesterday myself." Alexandrien sliced his eggs and started eating.

Darin sighed again and looked at Reon. He was still unable to accept this fack but he had to since it was the order of the Emperor.

Chrystalya started feeding Reon while he climbed on her lap and sat down comfortably.

he could use the silverine but he liked it this way better. Reon liked to get spoiled by his mum.

"Can't he eat by himself?" Alexandrien asked as he supported his head on the table.

"He can." Chrystalya asnweared shortly.

"Then why are you feeding him?" Of course it was weird that a royal would feed their child themself but this didn't bothered Chrystalya at all. After all he wasn't a royal.

"Because Reon prefers it this way. He is left handed so the maids looked at him stragely." She gave a shorz explanation without paying attention to the two men.

"You should had teached him to use his right hand." Alexandrien didn't stapped nagging her.

"That way his handwriting would become clumsy. Also, its not like it matters. He can use wichever hand he wants to." She looked at him sideways with a cold a glance. She didn't noticed it herself but it was like a warning to stay quite and don't ask anymore questions regarding this matter.

"Yeah. Maybe thats the case." Alexandrien noticed her glare and stopped asking questions.

He could force her to do whatever he wanted but then she would come to resent him for the rest of her life. And he didn't wanted that.
