We Shouldn't Have Come
Emperor kishendren named the newborn prince "Alcide Cleon Judah Tymon Imperial"
Many understood the emperor's intentions. The name he gave the prince meant "honor" which may mean that he is still eligible to inherit the throne. But many were skeptical about this. The citizens of the empire began to question the emperors decision but on the other hand emperors aren't messy with their bloodline. They always made sure that the child was theirs. But the prince really did look different compared to the other imperial children. While the other kids had black or brown hair prince Judah had orange hair. He was what people call a ginger. He only similar thing he had with the other kids were his blue eyes. But the emperor made sure to denounce every rumor that would harm the young prince. He took care of the prince just like prince Damien, amaris and Rahim. He thought his other kids to always protect their younger brother no matter what. To him the imperial family is the one that holds together the empire but he also knew that no one could ever tear down the house of Trystia but it's self. As the prince grew like the grapes on the vines he was always treated a bit differently from his siblings. Though the servants treated him well he could hear them gossiping about him. He was well aware of the doubts of the empire and often questioned if the emperor was really even his father. He never saw a portr6of his mother. Whenever he'd ask his father or his brothers he was usually faced with scolding for even asking about her. He just wanted to know his true identity. The prince wasn't so skilled with martial arts but he made sure to always study. His temperament was actually quite similar to prince Rahim. But he was more sweeter towards his siblings compared to his elder brother. The prince grew with his siblings sheilding him from the nobles. When he was really young he always questioned why he wasn't allowed in the balls but he finally understood it when he attended the harvest ball. He thought it would be a huge party but instead he was faced by insults and criticisms by the nobles. After that chaotic event the prince rather avoided these events...
Prince Judah's Chambers...
Servant: My prince.
Judah: What is it?
Servant: Don't you wish to go to the training grounds? The emperor will scold you again with the princess. You know they don't like it when you skip training.
Judah: You know those two. I'm lucky enough my brothers are too busy to scold me or else I'm gonna be deaf before I reach 16 or 18.
Servant: Oh prince Judah... You know they only want the best for you. You know it's very dangerous for you now that your getting older.
Judah: You can say whatever you want but I'm staying here. I haven't even finished reading my book.
Servant: Do you at least want to walk around my prince? You can't always stay here.
Judah: As I said I'm good here... I don't understand why I even need to go walk around or do martial arts. I'll never inherent the throne anyway and I'm not needed at court.
Servant: It is still your duty as a prince to serve the empire. And maybe someday you can be an advisor for the future emperor.
Judah: There are many men who want to be ministers or advisors they can just pick one of those guys.
Servant: Your Highness may you give me permission to speak freely?
Judah: Permission to speak freely? Uhm okay sure I give you my permission.
Servant: I don't like you. I never have at all. You don't train, you don't go out, you don't attend balls, you don't help out at the imperial Court YET YOU WONDER WHY PEOPLE CRITISIZE YOU?! YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER AS A PRINCE TO ACT LIKE ONE. And you should act like one because your brothers have won your wars for you before hand. They won't be beside you forever and you need to stand up for yourself!
Judah: Huh! Those brothers of mine... I know very well those two are always too busy to even notice me that much so don't worry much about them. My elder sister is busy with her husband and she now lives in her own estate and my father is too busy running the empire. I appreciate your honesty as a servant but I still see no point in this...
Suddenly the doors of the chambers bursts open and their enter's amaris and lucious. Prince Judah immediately stands up and greets his elder sister and lucious...
Judah: Elder sister! I-i didn't know you and the Duke would be coming here...
Lucious: Forgive us your Highness we weren't able to send you a message before our arrival.
Judah: Well it's alrig-
Amaris: I didn't know we had to ask permission to visit you now Judah. I see the servants have spoilt you rotten.
Judah: Forgive me elder sister I've offended you. I just didn't expect you to visit me so suddenly.
Amaris: And why is that? You loved it when I visited you by surprise but now I'm not allowed to?
Lucious: Amaris... That's enough now. Your brother has a point we shouldn't have come without letting him know first.
Judah: Duke lucious you are too kind. But I must still apologize for offending you and my sist-
Amaris: Why do you call him by his title Judah? Do you not see him as my husband? Or do you just see him as a servant?
Amaris glared at Judah and the prince just avoided his sisters eye's. There was no doubt that out of all of his siblings Judah had the most respect and feared amaris the most. He grew alongside her while his brothers were always busy at court with their father dealing with problematic state affairs every day...
