GoE 32 Emperor Paddu angry 

GoE 32

...

"His Majesty the Paddu Emperor has arrived." shouted a guard in front of Prince Ellder's palace.

Emperor Paddu's entourage was not very large but very noisy. Prince Ellder was alone in welcoming his father. Do not forget a faint smile graced the Prince's face.

"Welcome, Emperor Father," said Prince Ellder, bowing moderately and following the footsteps of Emperor Paddu.

"Enough of the basics. Do you know why I bothered to come to this place? What are you planning now?" Emperor Paddu spoke in an annoyed tone.

While guards stood guard behind the door, Prince Ellder was not intimidated by Emperor Paddu's words. They looked at each other with different eyes. Even though they were the only two in the room, Prince Ellder didn't want to talk more than he should.

"Why would His Majesty the Emperor say such a thing? Wasn't the sentence I served more than enough to get a pardon? Your son is not ready to die without doing something as a form of devotion." A faint smile graced Prince Ellder's face who suddenly felt tired.

Emperor Paddu's eyebrows shot up sideways. Meanwhile, Emperor Paddu's knuckles also started to tremble. If it is not based on the logic that Prince Ellder is his biological son, maybe now Emperor Paddu has pointed a gun at Prince Ellder.

"Then what do you want? Once again I reiterate to you, don't even think about doing anything from this moment on. Because I accommodated it only because of your position as my biological child. This is the last chance for you to prove your loyalty to your father." said Emperor Paddu trying to be diplomatic.

Hearing Emperor Paddu's words, Prince Ellder couldn't help but let out a long sigh. It was not that kind of sentence that Prince Ellder wanted to hear today. While the plan to escape with Servant Ninne is not yet clear.

Prince Ellder knew very well that he could not act as he pleased this time. Anyone in the palace knew very well that Prince Ellder's movements were being watched directly by Emperor Paddu.

"Very well, Your Majesty." Prince Ellder sighed at last.

"Good. That's what you should do if you want me to judge as a dutiful son. However, don't expect to appear in public this time. You are a palace prisoner until my mood improves." continued Emperor Paddu and then sat down on one of the glittering black sofas.

It had been a long time since Prince Ellder and Emperor Paddu had spoken to each other more than two words. And it seems that Emperor Paddu also doesn't want to leave Prince Ellder's palace. No one knows what Emperor Paddu is planning this time.

However, Prince Ellder also didn't want to worry about what Emperor Paddu was going to do. At least they are still father and son. Prince Ellder still has faith that Emperor Paddu is also a good father.

"If a good father is punishing his son there is only one possibility that his son has made a mistake, isn't it? Your Majesty?"

"So true. Finally, Prince Ellder realized his mistake." Emperor Paddu muttered slightly raising one of his lips.

Somehow, the anger of Emperor Paddu to Prince Ellder still they are biological father and son. Their relationship cannot be broken by any matter. Except for betrayal.

In reply, Prince Ellder bowed obediently. There's no point in fighting this time. Today Prince Ellder will treat Emperor Paddu with the best treatment between a son and his father.

At least there is still some love between the two of them. Blood ties shouldn't be easily broken just because of an excuse about a power struggle. Or the human greed has succeeded in snatching the human conscience itself?

"But you are still being punished. Remember that." Emperor Paddu's last words before leaving Prince Ellder's palace.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's generosity." Prince Ellder's reply sent Emperor Paddu away.

"..."

"How dare that kid to threaten His Majesty," complained Consort Weyya as soon as Emperor Paddu sat down in his study.

"Shut up. A cunning woman like you doesn't deserve to blaspheme my decision. After all, Ellder is still my biological son. Ellder is still my flesh and blood. I should at least give him a second chance.

You guys better improve yourself to serve me better. You and Hector. Please take good care of your child. Don't let Hector defect too. Because if that happens then death is the only punishment for you." replied Emperor Paddu in an annoyed tone.

Concubine Weyya didn't usually get angry with the Emperor. But the freedom that should only be owned by the Empress was also given to Concubine Weyya's big head. There was regret in the Emperor's eyes.

Meanwhile, Concubine Weyya scowled in disappointment. Although his words this time were a bit exaggerated but Emperor Paddu shouldn't have threatened him with the death penalty. Unless Concubine Weyya ascended the throne to become empress then no one would be able to kill her in this Empire. Neither did Emperor Paddu.

However, reaching the pinnacle of being the Empress was extremely difficult and full of risks. Every way to that path is risky with death.

"Very well, Your Majesty. Sorry for the rudeness of my speech. It is not easy to control this talkative mouth in front of His Majesty." Concubine Weyya whispered with both hands trying to massage Emperor Paddu's big shoulders.

"Of course. I understand. I'm just mad at Ellder. And you shouldn't be adding to my annoyance when I'm struggling to spend time in this place. Shouldn't you be preparing to cheer me up today?" continued Emperor Paddu suddenly whispering in Consort Weyya's left ear.

Hearing this, Concubine Weyya smiled. It had been a long time since they had seen each other after Emperor Paddu's departure to Planet Mors to build the Solar Empire's new war base. Of course, Consort Weyya understood the hidden hints of Emperor Paddu's words.

Slowly but surely Consort Weyya's fingers were placed on Emperor Paddu's chest. Without lowering a smile Concubine Weyya grabbed the Emperor's hand and pulled him towards the bathroom.

"It would be best if the Emperor cleaned himself up first. I will help the Emperor rub his back. Agree?" said Concubine Weyya in a teasing tone.

"Hmm, is that your way this time? Well. Okay. I will follow the path you planned. Don't make yourself feel like you're wasting your time this time. If your score is less than 10 then I will leave." Emperor Paddu hissed.

"Will not. I will not allow the Emperor to be dissatisfied." Concubine Weyya giggled and then hugged Emperor Paddu's body.

Together they spend passionate time in the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Prince Hector is uneasy about his intention to help Prince Ellder. Prince Hector if his deeds will be discovered by the Emperor.

"But I can only give you 3 days to prepare." Prince Hector said to Servant Ninne firmly.
