Chapter 56 Doting Parents.
(TWELVE YEARS LATER)
It's been twelve years since Joffrey and Kara got married and got blessed with their triplets.
Unfortunately, Emperor Jethro died due to old age on the third year of Joffrey and Kara's marriage anniversary.
The death of Emperor Jethro was so devastating to Empress Margareth that she died of heart attack.
The news of Emperor Jethro and Empress Margareth's death was a devastating news for the entire Echancia Empire.
Emperor Jethro and Empress Margareth were mourned for a whole year because of the fact that the citizens of Echancia Empire could not still believe they were dead.
After one year and three months of mourning his father and mother, Joffrey was crowned Emperor of Echancia Empire while Kara was crowned Empress of Echancia Empire.
Sebastin and Rebecca had gotten married three years back, after dating for nine long years.
Emperor Joffrey and Empress Kara have been a doting parents to their son, Crown Prince Jeffrey, and their daughters, Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita.
Emperor Joffrey and Empress Kara never got tired of showering love on their kids.
Emperor Joffrey and Empress Kara always give their kids gifts and presents even when it isn't yet their birthday.
Crown Prince Jeffrey and Princess Jasmine are the carefree type, always smiling and never having to worry about anything, because their needs and wishes were always given to them by their parents.
Princess Alita on the other hand is an easy-going girl, she is always cheerful but she loves singing, just like her mother.
(In The Royal Palace of Echancia Empire)
A boy and a girl were seen running and giggling in the Palace hallway.
"Hahahahaha!!! You can't catch me," The girl said to the boy, laughing while running so she wouldn't be caught by the boy.
"Hahahaha!!! You are playing hard to get, huh??? The boy said to the girl, laughing while trying to catch the girl.
"Ahem!! Ahem!! A man whose features look like an Olympian god coughed on purpose.
"Father!!! The boy and the girl called out happily while running towards him to hug him.
"Hoh! Hoh! Hoh! Jeffrey!! Jasmine!!! The man who turned out to be Emperor Joffrey called out happily while hugging them, his eyes tearing up because of the joy he is currently feeling.
"Jeffrey! Jasmine! How many times have I told you two, that it's dangerous and risky for you kids to be running in this manner???? Emperor Joffrey asked his kids while checking to see if they got hurt while running.
"We are sorry Father!! Prince Jeffrey and Princess Jasmine apologetically said to their Father while bowing their heads.
"Do You two promise not to do it again??? Emperor Joffrey asked Prince Jeffrey and Princess Jasmine while looking at them inquisitively.
"We promise," Prince Jeffrey and Princess Jasmine solemnly replied their Father chorously.
"Good! Now come here!! Emperor Joffrey cheerfully said to Prince Jeffrey and Princess Jasmine, while opening his hands for a hug.
"Hahahaha!! Prince Jeffrey and Princess Jasmine giggled happily while accepting their Father's hug.
"Father! If you may excuse me, I'd like to go see what Alita is up to!! Princess Jasmine said to her Father, asking for permission to leave his presence.
"You may leave, Jeffrey, and I will go for a ride," Emperor Joffrey said to Princess Jasmine, granting her permission to leave.
"Muah! Thanks, Father!! Princess Jasmine said to her Father, kissing him on the cheek while walking gracefully towards Princess Alita's chamber.
"Give Your sister the biggest hug for Me!! Emperor Joffrey said to the exiting Princess Jasmine while leading Prince Jeffrey towards the Royal Garage.
"Ain't promising!! Princess Jasmine said to her exiting Father while ascending the stairs connecting to Princess Alita's chamber.
Getting inside Princess Alita's chamber, Princess Jasmine saw Alita painstakingly trying to write a song.
"You never get tired of trying to be like Mom?? Do you?? Princess Jasmine jocularly asked Princess Alita while sitting down on the couch close to Princess Alita.
"Hi, Sister! Princess Alita greeted Princess Jasmine with a bright smile while hugging her.
"This reminds Me!! Father said I should give you the biggest hug for him," Princess Jasmine said to Princess Alita while tightening her hug.
"Ouch! You are squashing me here, where do you get such strength from??? Princess Alita jocularly asked her sister.
"Oh My God! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to give you that kind of hug," Princess Jasmine apologetically said to Princess Alita.
"Hahahaha!!! You mean bear hug right??? Princess Alita asked her sister while giggling.
"Yeah! That!! Princess Jasmine said to her sister while bowing her head.
"It's okay, Sis! Here! Look! I've been trying to write a song of my own but I'm failing terribly," Princess Alita said to her sister while giving her the songbook.
"Actually...this is..... Princess Jasmine kept silent, afraid of hurting her sister's feelings.
"Just say it, Sis!! It's horrible right??? Princess Alita said to her sister sadly.
"What's horrible??? Let me see??? Empress Kara said to her daughter, Alita as soon as she entered her daughter's chamber.
"This song lyrics," Princess Alita said to her Mom while giving her the song lyrics.
After five minutes of reading the song lyrics, Empress Kara said:-
"Alita! When You write songs, you write from your heart! This is actually okay but you can't call it a song yet, you still need to add some finishing touches on it,"
"Thanks, Mother! I'll try to write from my heart next time." Princess Alita solemnly said to her mom.
"Mother! Please sing us a song! Princess Jasmine said to her mom while looking at her with her puppy eyes.
"Nope! I can't! You both have to study and as a matter of fact, I came to fetch you two," Empress Kara said to Princess Jasmine while declining her request.
"Mother!! Please!! Please!!! Pretty Pretty Pretty Pretty Pretty Pretty Please!!! Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita chorously begged their Mother.
"Okay! Fine! So which song do you both want to hear??? Empress Kara asked Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita while looking at them inquisitively.
Empress Kara had no choice but to agree with their demand due to the fact that she loves and dote on them, and never has she refused her kids anything since they were born.
"Mom, we want to hear "The Other Side Of Me" Then "We All Gotta Believe In Love" followed by "Hold on!! Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita cheerfully replied their mother.
"Okay! Here we go," Empress Kara said to Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita while preparing to start singing.
"Ahem!! Ahem!! Empress Kara coughed while clearing her throat.
(The Other Side of Me song lyrics)
The other side
The other side
The other side of me
By day, I play
The part in every way
Of simple sweet, calm and collected
Pretend, to my friends
I'm a chameleon
Can make a girl feel disconnected
Feel like a star
A superhero
Sometimes it's hard to separate
(Got too much on my plate)
If you could see
The other side of me
I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell
I hold the key
To both realities
The girl that I want you to know
If only I could show....
The other side...the other side
I want you to see...
The other side...the other side
The other side of me!!
Inside, I try
To make the pieces fit right
A jigsaw puzzle everywhere
'Cause I flip the script
So many times I forget
Who's on stage, who's in the mirror
Back in the spotlight
The crowd is calling
The paparazzi and the fame
(It can drive a girl insane)
If you could see
The other side of me
I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell
I hold the key
To both realities
The girl that I want you to know
If only I could show
Down inside I'm not that different
Like everyone I have a dream
Don't want to hide, just want to fit in
Sometimes it's harder than it seems
If you could see
The other side of me
I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell
I hold the key
To both realities
The girl that I want you to know
If only I could show
If you could see
The other side of me
I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell
I hold the key
To both realities
The girl that I want you to know
If only I could show
The other side...the other side
I want you to see
The other side...the other side of me!!
"Oh My God! Mom! That was awesome!! Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita cheered happily while clapping happily.
"Thanks! I actually sang that song when I was nine years old," Empress Kara said to Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita while smiling brightly.
"Wow!! I'm twelve and I can't even write a song." Princess Alita exclaimed in amazement.
"Don't worry! You will get the hang of it, just keep pushing on and sing from your heart." Empress Kara said to Princess Alita while caressing her face.
"Never you give up on your dreams, always ask yourself this question:-
"If not you, then who??
"If you can't do it, then who can do it for you?? Empress Kara said further to Princess Alita.
"You heard Mom! Sing from your heart and keep pushing, you will definitely come up with a nice song," Princess Jasmine added.
"Mom please can we hear the second song we choosed??? Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita asked their mom while looking at her inquisitively.
"Sure!! Empress Kara replied Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita.
(We All Gotta Believe In Love Song Lyrics)
I see your face, look in your eyes
What you feel is no surprise
Everyone needs something to believe in
Tell me your dreams, I'll tell you mine
In our hearts, we'll look inside
And see all the colors of the rainbow, I know....
We all gotta believe in love
We all gotta believe in something
Bigger than just us
We all want to be a part of the greater picture
That's hanging in our hearts (our hearts)
Yeah, it's bigger than us
I want to see beyond my own little world
Grab your hand so we can twirl around the galaxy
See the world with clarity, oh, oh
Oh, oh, we have such a long way to go
But I know we're getting closer every day (every day)
We all gotta believe in love (believe in love)
We all gotta believe in something (oh, oh, oh)
Bigger than just us
We all want to be a part of the greater picture
That's hanging in our hearts (our hearts)
Yeah, it's bigger than us
It fills the universe
It lights the skies above
It rescues all our hearts with love (L-O-V-E, love)
With love (L-O-V-E, love)
That's what's bigger than us (bigger than us, come on)
It's love, it's love that's bigger than us (come on)
It's love, it's love that's bigger than us (woo)
It's love, it's love
It's love, it's love, it's love, it's love (oh, it's love)
We all gotta believe in love
We all gotta believe in something
Bigger than just....us!!!
"Way to go, Mom! That was awesome!. Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita cheered happily while clapping happily.
"Thanks! (Hahaha) I sang this song when I was eighteen years old, I was desperately waiting for your Father to come back to me after he suddenly disappeared," Empress Kara said to Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita while giggling.
"So that's what you meant by singing from your heart??? Princess Alita asked her mom, her mouth widening in shock.
"Yes! That's what I meant by singing from your heart! Back then I was lonely, your Father was nowhere to be found, and I kept telling myself that I have to believe in love and I also have to believe in something that can keep me going, and that's how this song came to me," Empress Kara said to Princess Alita while smiling brightly.
"Mom can we hear the last one??? We are almost late for our study section," Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita asked their mom anxiously.
"Yeah! Here we go," Empress Kara said to Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita while preparing to sing the last song."
(Hold On Song Lyrics)
... Loving and fighting, accusing, denying
I can't imagine a world with you gone
The joy and the chaos, the demons we're made of
I'd be so lost if you left me alone
... You locked yourself in the bathroom
Lying on the floor when I break through
I pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming? Please don't leave me
... Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I promise I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you
... Long endless highway, you're silent beside me
Driving a nightmare I can't escape from
Helplessly praying, the light isn't fading
Hiding the shock and the chill in my bones
... They took you away on a stretcher
I pace back and forth as you lay still
They pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming? Please don't leave me
... Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I promise I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you
... I don't wanna let go
I know I'm not that strong
I know I'm not that strong
I just wanna hear you
Saying, "Baby girl, let's go home!!
Let's go home
Yeah, I just want you to take me home in your arms again.
How I just want you to take me home in your arms again.
Saying, "Baby girl, let's go home!!
... Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you!!
"Wow, Mom!! That was awesome!! Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita cheered happily while clapping happily.
"What led you to sing this song?? Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita asked their mom anxiously.
"(Sighs) My Father! I sang the song in his honor and memory," Empress Kara answered her daughters while sighing deeply.
"You must have really loved your Father so much to sing such an amazing song in his memory," Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita said to their mother while hugging her, trying to console her.
"Yeah, I did love him very much and I still do," Empress Kara replied warmly while smiling brightly.
"Greetings, Your Imperial Royal Majesty! The Lioness of Enchancia Empire!! Susan greeted Empress Kara while curtsying respectfully.
"Greetings to you too, Susan! Is it time for their lesson??? Empress Kara replied Susan warmly while looking at her inquisitively.
"Yes, Your Imperial Royal Majesty! It's time for their lesson with Mr.Benjamin, he just arrived and he's at the study room," Susan replied Empress Kara respectfully.
"Okay! Girls, it's time to study," Empress Kara said to Princess Jasmine and Princess Alita while leading them towards the study room.
(Somewhere in Chadcia)
Emperor Joffrey and Crown Prince Jeffrey were cruising down the highway in their Golden Dream Mercedes-McLaren SLR worth a whopping sum of Three Hundred and ninety Trillion Dollars.
They were racing in their Golden Dream Mercedes-McLaren SLR.
"Whoo-hoo! Once again, I won! Crown Prince Jeffrey squeaked happily while coming out of his Golden Dream Mercedes-McLaren SLR as soon as he got to the finish point.
"C'mon Jeffrey! You know I was easy on you," Emperor Joffrey said to Crown Prince Jeffrey in a reasoning manner.
"I didn't ask you to be easy on me," Crown Prince replied his Father warmly.
"Well! Well! Well! Who do we have here??? Sebastin asked out as soon as he spotted Emperor Joffrey and Crown Prince Jeffrey.
"It's Your one and only Emperor!! Emperor Joffrey replied while hugging Sebastin.
"Your Royal Highness! It's good to see you again," Sebastin said to Crown Prince Jeffrey.
"It's good to see You too, Uncle Sebastin!! Crown Prince Jeffrey replied while hugging Sebastin.
Emperor Joffrey and Sebastin started discussing about the matters of the state.
After thirty minutes of watching his Father and his Father's friend discussing, Crown Prince Joffrey started to get bored with their discussion.
Emperor Joffrey being a doting father, noticed his son was getting bored with his discussion with Sebastin, he immediately cut the discussion short.
"Son, let's head to the Palace! Emperor Joffrey said to Crown Prince Jeffrey while leading him towards where their cars were parked.
"Finally! Crown Prince Jeffrey exclaimed while following his Father towards where their cars were parked.
"Sebastin! Care to give the other car a ride??? Emperor Joffrey asked Sebastin warmly.
"Sure! But which car will your son use in getting back to the Palace??? Sebastin asked Emperor Joffrey while looking at him inquisitively.
"He will ride with me," Emperor Joffrey replied Sebastin warmly.
"Okay! If you say so," Sebastin said to Emperor Joffrey while getting into the Golden Dream Mercedes-McLaren SLR.
"Dad! How about we get Alita and Jasmine this very car??? Crown Prince Jeffrey asked his Father as soon as he got into his father's car while looking at him inquisitively.
"I've already done that! They will be in for a surprise this evening when they see the cars I added to their car collections," Emperor Joffrey replied Crown Prince Jeffrey while switching on his car ignition.
"Dad! You really are the best Father in the whole wide world and we are so lucky to have you as our Father," Crown Prince Jeffrey said to his Father while cuddling his head on his Father's chest.
"And I'm so lucky to have you and your sisters as My kids," Emperor Joffrey replied his son emotionally.
And with that, Emperor Joffrey sped off into the streets of Chadcia, heading towards the Royal Palace while Sebastin accompanied them.
"Crown Prince Jeffrey on the other hand thanked the gods of Olympus for having the most loving and doting parents one could ever wish for.
