Chapter 1: My Morning

*Brrrr*

*Brrrr*

"My king, wake up, it's time for handling the kingdom again." Said the young maid to the sleeping man.

"Please your majesty, today is very very important to our nation, today is the day when we won the war against Heaven's faction, Devil's faction, and the Menshen Triad of the Eastern continent, so once again your majesty, please get up!!!" yelled the young man in fancy dress.

"Aaaaaaahhhh...Just five minutes..." being tired, replied the man in the luxurious bed.

*knock knock*

"Who is it?" asked the maid.

"I'll handle it, meanwhile make sure to wake up his majesty Adam."

"My king it's not the right time to sleep, please, I'll make your favorite tea if you don't wake up in time, I'm gonna be in a big problem..." with a teary expression asked the king.

Aaaaaahhhhh, another day in hell, endure it, Adam, this is the last day as a king, I'm gonna be free by the end of the day, so let's make it a day that they won't be able to forget for the rest of their lives.

*chuckles*

"My king, please!!!"

"Alright, alright Rena, you've won." with a smirk on his face

"Thank you, my king !!! "

Her uncomfortable face seems to disappear, anyway I'm gonna take a shower, It's 9:30 a.m, there is enough time to prepare for the celebration if I recall it's set to be at 8:00 p.m, but I have a tight schedule today, I must ask Tristan, he is responsible for making my schedules.

"Rena prepare the bath, I'm gonna take a shower, by the way where is Tristan? I'm sure he was here, with you."

"Yes my lord, I prepared the bath for you,"

"Sir Tristan was here with me helping me to wake you up, but someone knocked on the door of your chamber and Sir Tristan handle it, it seems like it's Grand Duke Alfred that knocked."

"Thanks, Rena, you're always here when I need your help."

She smiles, but her face is red, I think I just embarrassed her, that's cute.

"T-thank you my lord for your compliment..."

"Inform Tristan that I'm in the bath, and let Grand Duke Alfred enter my chamber, he's someone who I trust."

"Yes my king, I will tell them."

she's gone now, I get up and walk to the bathroom, the bathtub is filled with cold water... Rena knows about my preference more than my wife and my kids know, that's embarrassing...

after the shower, Tristan and Grand Duke Alfred are arguing about something, it seems from the way they speak like it is a very important matter, Rena hands me my clothes...

"Thanks."

"It's my duty toward my master."

Her ears are red, seriously the young girl is an open book, anyone can read her.

"Your Majesty, the sovereign of The Internal Void is asking for an audience with you!!!"

"Should I let him in your majesty?"

I'm sure Rena told him to let the duke enter.

"Tristan, didn't Rena tell you to let Alfred enter my chamber?"

"Yes indeed, Rena told me about it, but just in case, I didn't let him enter, we can't trust Grand Duke Alfred, especially since he is the queen's nephew !!!"

"I'm sorry my king, for my insufficient, this shameless subject couldn't handle a mere order from you!!!"

*Sob*

*Sob*

she's crying?

"Rena, are you crying?"

she holds her tears and answers me

"No, I'm not crying...bbb.."

she just wanted to cry...

I patted her head... she calms...

She reminds me of the times when my children were young and cried to me, old times...

The two men are arguing, they emit their death intents, Rena is scared, and those idiots have some past affairs that aren't finished.

"Marquis Tristan and Grand Duke Alfred, what are you doing in front of the king of the Great nation of Mir?"

"Stop ruining my morning and scaring my maid, immediately!!!"

both of them stop fighting, they kneel to me and say: "We apologize for our immature acts your majesty!!!"

they look at Rena, which holds my clothes' sleeve, then they glare at each other and say: "We're sorry lady Rena for scaring you and putting you in danger!!!"

It seems like the Young Duke is in love with this girl, hehehehe, that's cute, I'm gonna tease him from time to time about this...

"Anyway, what brings you here young Duke ?"

"My lord, I'm visiting you today as your nephew Alfred, not as the young Grand Duke or representative of Shamshar household."

"Is that so?"

"Don't trust him, your majesty, he is an enemy for us, even if he says that, please reconsider!!!"

"Don't interfere with our king's decision!!!"

"Stop both of you, or else I'm gonna beat you two!!!"

they both stop once again

"Rena, prepare the breakfast for three people."

"As you wish my lord."

"Let's bring this discussion to the garden, I'm sure there is something Alfred wants to tell us, Tristan."

"Yes, my king."

he seems down for some reason.

"Thank you, uncle."

On the way to the garden, a young black-haired girl meets our way...

It's my second daughter Carol, she looks at my face, then turns away her face, she ignores me, Tristan wants to talk to her...

"Princesse Carol, it's improper to a princess to not greet the king, and it's improper to a daughter to not greet her father, don't you think so ?"

Carol stops walking, her servants talk back to Tristan.

"How dare a mere Marquis to talk to the princess..."

"Don't you know you she is..."

"Know your place..."

Alfred looks at the maids and says :

"Don't you know how grave is your action that your doing now, in front of the king, his aid, and the Grans Duke, that's can be considered treason towards the nation!!!"

the maid can't talk back they seem troubled, Carol then reacts...

"I'm very sorry my king, I was indeed at fault your highness, please forgive me." with an emotionless expression said, my daughter.

I glare at her for some time, then I said: "Your apology is accepted, you may go of your wish."

she replied: "Thank you my king for your generosity, I shall go..."

Tristan says: "You can't even look at your father's faces..."

Carol replied: "I believe that personal matters between the king and the princess should not be interrupted by a mere Marquis, right Marquis Tristan? "

"Don't you agree too YOUNG Duke Alfred ?"

"Carol stops this immediately..."

"As always, you never took our side...why bother to meet you when you don't even want to talk to me..."

"How can you say that princess !!!"

"Stop it, Tristan!!!"

"I shall take my leaves now, excuse me, my lord."

"Wait, Carol..."

"Yes, my lord."

a sudden silence fills the atmosphere, then...

"I know it's sudden and out of normal, but do you want to have breakfast with me ?"

she blushes, I think she smiles, I can hear the maids whispering...

"I had breakfast before, but if you insist I can accompany you, FATHER if you want."

even though her face says it with a cold expression but her body emits a warm Mana.

"I want to have the second princess's opinion on some national matters and also personal matters of course."

"I accept my father's wish, I shall help you with everything I have."
