2 Uncover the truth

Curious about the appearance of the great pope. I followed him, all the way in front of my fathers room.

As the grand door opens he stopped, he turned around and looked towards my way, Startled by sudden move from the pope I dodged his sight and hid behind a pillar.

How does he know I was here? did he look at future when coming inside the mansion.

Because of the sudden move from the pope, I erased all my suspicion on why his here. But what does father need from him?

"Looks like father need a prophecy"

But for what? I asked to myself, what is the need of a prophecy this time? Why father the greatest king of all time in the history of Greisweil? doesn't the kingdom of the west Lazaroush need this prophecy more. Their country is suffering from miasma for weeks now. No one knows what will happen to that kingdom.

It became more suspicious. What does the need for the pope when everything is going their way, is there a declaration of war? is there a huge problem that is in need of a prophecy?

I became curious, Really curious that I even eavesdropped on my father and the popes conversation. I had to use a skill to properly hear through the thick walls of the castle.

at first it was just deep silence with not a single sound from the room, but a moment later i finally heard it. The conversation with my father and the pope.

"I am deeply sorry for calling the great Pope here, for a little prophecy."

"it is fine King of Greisweil, your grandfather and I had some connection with each other so i'm here to help, as I also have time before I go to Lazaroush."

"Yes Lazaroush is in deep trouble and is in need of the prophecy about their miasma problem. But I also has some problems lately, well you see there has been a rumor goi-"

"Sorry for the intruption but i think we need to continue this conversation in another time, there is someone eavesdropping on our conversation."

"WHAT!!!"

The king stood up and hurrily went through the door opened it and looked around but saw nothing but an empty corridor.

"It seemed he run away." said by the pope.

"Knights!! Search for that person!"

"Yes sir"

"I am deeply sorry, looks like we have to continue this in another time."

"It is fine set the date after I finished in the kingdom Lazaroush."

That was close! I almost got caught, thank God I reacted fast. The moment the pope stopped the conversation. I knew it would come to this.

but what rumor was my father talking about, is it...

it can't be?! no way right! no way.

He's not talking about THAT rumor right? that kind of rumor won't get his attention right? don't tell me he was curious on what kind of king I will be in the future? Is that why he called for the pope?

I know what kind of way my fathers ruling is. He would listen to different kind of talks and investigate on whether it was true or not. he has an intillegent team which surround all over the kingdom, and report what they heard, and investigate different kinds of rumors.

But the rumor about me can not be investigated since it has not happened yet, I still have to be crowned as the king before they would know what kind of king I am.

is that why you need the pope, since the pope has an ability to see the future?

Does my father really not trust me. Does he not trust the amout of accomplishment I had over the years since I was born! Does he not trust that I the first prince of Greisweil, Will serve the country till my very last breath! Does he believe a rumor which popped out of nowhere rather than his very own son.

Sigh...

I'll just not think about it. Go back to my room.

And search for the one who spread those rumors.

.

"Ohh... nooo~ everyone save me~ its the TYRANT KING!"

As I was going back to my room when I heard a voice. It was my little brother the second prince.

My father had 2 wives, my mother died while giving birth to me, I don't have any memories about her, Everyone told me that my mother was that she was beautiful, Caring, and Strong, and nothing else. It still saddened me that I can't see my mother. but there's nothing we could do about it.

After my mother died my father had to remarry, and married one of the leading figures in the nobility, a strict prideful women with high nobility. and gave birth to 4 childrens. The royal family now have 3 princes and 2 princesses.

The first prince is me, I am the eldest among my siblings, the one said to be the king. Strongest, Genius, and Caring. I was called many names but i just deny them.

In the other hand is the second prince Michael Greisweil, is very popular among the Nobility. he is friendly with the Duke, Viscout, and other Nobles. has very thick eyebrows, and long eyelashes. Surrounded with many jewelries, and wearing the most expensive clothing everyday,

"What do you want michael."

"Gasp! the tyrant king is talking to me, is there anyone out there~"

"Are you done! can I go back to my room now!"

I opened the door, went inside and close the door. As the door was about to close. Michael put his feet in between the door and stopped with all his strenght.

"Wait! I'm not finished yet"

"finished on what! your sarcasm."

"No, no, no I have one thing to say Big Brother,"

"hurry it up I still have things to do."

" You will never be king now BROTHER!"

And there we have culprit number ONE. having a really smirking face, glittering eyes while trying to stop a door from closing.

If he was the suspect on sending those rumors isn't he a bit dumb? litterally rubbing it in my face. like it was nothing.
