The Titan Empire: The Game of Power

Volume 2, Chapter 5

His daughter's decision had been a constant headache for the emperor; if she married, she would forfeit her right to the throne, and would even have to remove the royal name Alpha from her family name. The Emperor was agonizing, especially after he recalled what happened to his own sister, he wasn't going to let his dictatorship befall his daughter again, the excellence of Alenis comforted him, he believed that his daughter wouldn't make a decision against herself, that future husband of the proud Princess would surely be an equally or even more outstanding character. But the Emperor was still not quite satisfied, both of his sons were mediocre, and with a little more training Alenis would undoubtedly be much superior to her two older brothers.

Alenis. Alpha. Princess Morissette looked out of the window and watched the scenery regressing towards the back of the carriage, the young girl's emotions were stirring, she knew that she was the pride of the royal family, she knew that she had an excellent reputation among the nobles and commoners alike, she knew that choosing to marry would bring about all sorts of consequences, but she felt that all of this was worth it, and the only reason that she had worked so hard to make herself good was for today, for today, for today, for the Empire of the Titans, where even it's s Emperor had to respect her decision.

It was all thanks to her "longtime" friend, and the princess knew that if he hadn't said that to her, God knows if she would have turned into a bratty, uninformed person, like so many thoughtless, proud, and clueless princesses.

Prince Ossigne had been admiring the princess beside him, and although the cloak she wore gave Oscar no means of knowing the figure wrapped up within, the princess's face was undoubtedly an exceedingly moving sight to behold.

The little fat man did not realize that he had been little used by the big fat men, compared with these old foxes who had rolled around for many years in the court and financial field, the little fat man was still relatively inexperienced.

"Your Highness, you haven't answered my question yet?" Now Little Fatty was getting a little impatient, this princess hadn't said a word since she invited him onto the carriage.

The princess's carriage was ordinary, the exterior looked more than a little dirty and old, Oscar knew that this was definitely not a royal carriage, the girl was most likely stealing out, but it wasn't quite like this, she brought her bodyguard with her, the horseman driving the carriage was a paladin, I wonder how Blizzard got along with that guy?

"Ah..! Excuse me, please forgive me, I didn't notice you talking." The princess turned to the teenager beside her, who was three years younger than herself.

"Your Highness, you really ...... never mind! No need to mind, I'm just curious, why are you like this? I mean, dating me in secret like that."

"You don't have to address me as your Highness, aren't you a Highness yourself? You can just call me by my first name, call me Alanis! My little cousin."

"Oh la! I had forgotten that I had not been drawing a parallel between myself and a Prince, you know, and I was only freed five days ago."

"Yes, I have not congratulated you. Oh, look at me, what I've done! I should have dated you sooner."

"No, Princess ...... er ...... it's Alanis, yes, Alanis, you don't need to apologize at all, your trip out of the palace should have been difficult, and for that I have you to thank, I'm honored by your invitation. " Oscar did feel a bit honored, he didn't know this princess remembered him.

"Oh yes, you haven't told me where we are going with this?" Oscar finally thought of that.

The princess looked out the window and she smiled about something else. "Since you call me Alanis, can I call you Oscar, that's what Father calls you right?"

"Of course, I would be honored. But you know that is only when the two of us are alone together, in the presence of those outsiders we can only do what is in keeping with royal protocol."

The princess was a bit amused after hearing the words of the teenager, she understood what the teenager meant, the little fat boy was trying to avoid her from being harassed by gossip, but he didn't know that the real thing that could bring trouble was the other sentence, what does it mean by "the two of us alone together"? He was such a child, didn't he know that her status and age didn't allow her to be alone with the opposite s*x?

It seems that the Princess doesn't realize that she is "alone" with the Prince.

"So Oscar, first of all I want to make it clear that I'm not sneaking out, don't be afraid that I'll get you in trouble, in fact I have my father's permission, and secondly, we're about to arrive at our destination."

The owner of Shabak Manor had received many big shots, his manor was indeed opened for these nobles. But the two he encountered today were obviously a bit strange. That little fat man's appearance was quite passable, but he shouldn't be surveying his manor like a country bumpkin. That girl was the most beautiful maiden he had ever seen, and when he faced her, he felt a compelling air of nobility coming over him, and he didn't even dare to look at the maiden.

The boss had seen countless people, he knew that he was greeting an incomparably honorable lady, this lady's hands and feet seemed to have been precisely calculated, it was the perfect manners trained since childhood, it was not something that some girl who liked to be prudish could pretend to be.

Why would the boss suspect the girl of being a prude? He couldn't be blamed, his manor had so many hidden rooms and chambers that some uptight nobles had asked the emperor more than once to seize the manor because their wives were having rendezvous here. Yes, it was indeed a rendezvous, and the men and women, young and old, who came here, as long as they came in quick succession, then it was best to invite them to a small, secluded room. Of course, there are many people who book a room beforehand and then rendezvous in it. But whatever they were dating! They definitely didn't come to this estate for the world-famous Shabak coffee alone.

Oscar thought he'd entered the villa of some big shot. The estate was over the top. It had a small plaza in front of the gate, where many carriages with family crests were parked. Not everyone came here for a rendezvous, and the bigwigs did love this secluded and well-serviced retreat. They could sip tea in the tea room, as well as play cards with their friends and relax in the Borsis baths.

The main building of the manor is a large area of the villa, red brick walls covered with green vines, arched doorways on both sides of an elegant fountain. The statues in the fountain were taken from folklore, and Oscar could see that they were definitely the work of a famous artist.

After entering the door of the villa, there was a huge living room, which was designed somewhat like a dining room, where the nobles sat in small circles in twos and threes, and did not pay any attention to the two new strangers, for there were too many things that could interest them. For example, the newly crowned Prince, he went to the "Fat Lord" club at noon today, and thinking of the cruelty of the former Prince, one nobleman had already asserted that a certain girl in that club would definitely suffer.

The Princess heard it, and she knew something of the inner workings of the Fat Lord's Club, but she was very angry at these people for speaking so loudly about a Prince, which was disrespectful to the Royal Family!

The little fat man did not feel anything, he concentrated on surveying the villa's decoration, for him this is undoubtedly a beautiful thing. The new and luxurious furnishings, and the comfortable and beautiful furniture all attracted the Prince's attention, this teenager had been detached from the noble life for ten years, and he was curious about this kind of noble environment.

The waiter introduced the young boy and girl into a living room on the second floor of the villa, the living room was large, but the furnishings had obviously changed to a different style, Oscar knew that this was a foreign decorative design, but he did not know exactly what to call it.

The teenager did not show too much respect in front of the princess, the girl had just said that she was Alanis, and the little fat man was Oscar.

Oscar threw himself into the carpeted and broadly cushioned tent, where smoky incense was roasting in Porcius's heater, and the gauzy netting that hung straight down from the roof of the room completely obscured the view from within.

The Princess froze as she entered the room, she couldn't help but hesitate a little as she looked at the near-sealed tent and the cozy Oskar, she had heard of the Shabak's reputation and she wondered if she should enter the tent, oh my! It was totally a bed! There wasn't even a chair in here. This was different from what she had imagined, in the princess's design, she was supposed to sip coffee and talk with the teenager in a small, delicately furnished room. And now! That damn boss had given them such a completely ...... is ...... exactly what the princess didn't know, but the teenager's sensitivity let her know that the smell that filled the air here had absolutely nothing to do with purity.

Alanis went in anyway, should she go out and get another room? She felt that would be very humiliating. The moment the honored princess had lifted the veil and entered it she had the illusion that she was a princess waiting for favor, and now her master was calling her, a thought that made Alenis shiver inexplicably, and it would be better to call it arousal rather than shyness.

Oscar was excited as well, he had no idea this place was so much fun, the compulsion of the exotic, coupled with the fact that he was surrounded by a young girl who gave off an ethereal scent, and although the girl's status was of the type that would never be allowed to be violated, Oscar still had some anticipation, not really knowing what the Princess was trying to do by bringing him here. The teenager began to wonder about the princess's motives, and he could feel his emotions slowly flaring up uncontrollably.

The princess was actually innocent, so blame the owner of this place! Although Alanis had a special feeling for the young Prince, it was never enough to make her offer her perfectly pure body. The Princess leaned lightly against the carpet in what she thought was the most appropriate position, she hadn't recovered from the notion that this was a bed and this was as far as she could take it! Her face was now flushed and her limbs were trembling even more slightly.

The conversation between Oscar and the Princess then proceeded in mutual carelessness; neither of them was attentive, and they floated in their respective weavings of the mind.

A knock at the door made them sit up straight, and out of the sensitivity of having a "good thing" broken up, the boy and girl were extremely nervous at the sound of the door.

The door was opened not by a waiter, but by two well-dressed gentlemen, who opened the tent without permission, perhaps to see the "good work" that the young man was doing, but they were immediately disappointed, the boy and the girl were neatly dressed, and the beautiful girl seemed to have been seen somewhere before.

"Your Excellency must be Osne. Anru. Lord Morissette, I am Viscount Adolle, and this is my colleague Baron Cole, we are from the Ministry of Justice, under the authority of the Imperial Minister of Justice, Romment. We are from the Ministry of Justice. Margrave Lord Andesise, we have come to invite you to the Ministry of Justice for a cup of coffee, please believe that our coffee at the Ministry of Justice is no worse than here."

Oscar didn't give any indication, he didn't leave any leverage during the operation, he just thought that that Minister of State was pretty swift in his actions.

Alanis. Alpha. Her Royal Highness Princess Morissette was in shock, and she recoiled at the sound of the uninvited guest. The princess stood up, her might instantly exploding.

"Your Excellency the Viscount, one should not use a tone like yours when speaking to a Prince." The princess had spoken with hidden anger.

"Honorable Miss, I'm afraid you're the only one who thinks this gentleman is a Prince, he hasn't been formally ordained yet, and he's going to be in trouble now, it's a major murder!" This Viscount thought of the princess as some lovesick girl that the teenager had hooked up with, and he had seen many such girls. But why did the one in front of him look so familiar?

Alanis was completely enraged! No one could speak to her like that, and the princess's voice sounded a little hoarse.

"So that means that His Highness the Prince is a criminal? Then it means that my father is no longer the master of this empire, then it means that the enthronement presided over by my father is treated as a joke, then it means that the dog that specializes in biting people at my father's door is free to laugh at his decisions. Is that so? His Excellency the Viscount."

Look at the wonderful expression on Viscount Adolle's face now! His face turned snow-white after hearing that "Father". Oscar was filled with sympathy for this unlucky man.

"Your Highness the Prince, would you mind if I accompany you to the Ministry of Justice to taste their coffee?" The princess turned to the teenager. "I'm going to appraise it, and if the coffee there isn't good at all, then please believe me, someone is definitely going to pay for it!" With that, Alanis crossed over to Adolle, who had fallen to her knees in fear.

The Minister of Justice, Romment. Hoa. Marquis Andersis already knew that the conversation could no longer continue. What if the Prince had really murdered 65 ministers? What about the motive? What about the evidence? He himself had been instigated by the Minister of State and was overwhelmed by the desire to avenge the deaths of his subordinates. That damn minister didn't seem to mention the consequences of doing so.

Just a moment ago, the emperor's emissary had stormed into his office and read the extremely strongly worded letter in front of the young prince and him, and Romment was left with no place to go! He even doubted if that was the tone of that amiable Majesty. But it was perfectly understandable; the Emperor's youngest daughter and his youngest nephew had been invited by him for coffee. The Emperor would never let up over this disgraceful affair, which would become the laughing stock of the nobility! Good heavens! What had he done? Why had one sent an i***t on this errand?

His Royal Highness and the Princess were walking along the wide corridor of the Ministry of Justice. The Prince was walking on the left and the Princess on the right, they were separated by almost two meters. Every now and then they looked at each other and laughed; the whole thing was really funny. Oscar would find the Princess looking at him when he looked at her, they had somehow developed this understanding. The Princess felt that life hadn't been as exciting as it had been in a long time! Oscar felt that time flew by when he was with Alanis. For the first time he had a crush on the princess who was three years older than him.

The situation in front of him made Oscar sigh a little, ten years ago he was escorted here, he was interrogated here, he was tried here. Now he was back, the guards standing in the corridor saluted him respectfully, and he was being accompanied by the dream of all the men of the empire - the honorable and beautiful princess.

Thinking of that princess, Oscar couldn't help but smile again, he still remembered that this was the place where he and that princess had their first official meeting. The time he had invited the little princess as a witness didn't count at all.

"Your Highness, would you be interested in visiting the cell where you saw me off in the first place?"

Alanis would never forget the day that his father actually asked her to apologize to the criminal who had hurt her so badly, and even though she knew that she was mostly to blame for what had happened, she was still reluctant.

It was in that cell at the Ministry of Justice that she first took a closer look at the little boy, who was said to have half of the same bloodline as herself in him. There was nothing scary about the little boy at this point, and they even put shackles on the five year old boy. The princess was mesmerized by her observation, was this the same child with the strength and heart of a demon?

The truth surprised the princess a little, the criminal didn't do anything to her, he greeted her very politely. They were the same child, and the princess soon recovered from her alarm; she gave the criminal a frank account of her sins, and asked his forgiveness. The princess did not know why she was so natural, and her mood became calmer after she had uttered her words of apology.

The boy didn't give the princess a hard time, he knew that the little princess was just jealous, and that the person who had the bad idea had already been punished. The boy comforted the princess with his childish words. He didn't realize the shock and impact those words had on the princess.

He said, "My mother! was once a Princess Highness like you; she was gentle, beautiful, and honorable, and she was the one who loved me most in this world. But you, Your Highness, are not like her; you are just as honorable, but you do not know how to command respect. All the members of my family respect my mother very much, not because she is my father's wife, or because she is the princess of the Morissette family, but because she is fair and decisive, and she treats people with sincerity and courtesy, and she doesn't lose her temper, and she doesn't punish people arbitrarily, which means that people's respect for her comes from the praise of her personality. And you, if we have the chance to meet again in the future, then I hope you can become a respected and praised princess, just like my mother."

Alanis had forgotten how she felt when she first heard those words, it had been too long. But she hadn't forgotten the young boy's demeanor as he spoke, he was so confident, he was so calm.

The princess after that worked hard to learn all sorts of things, she wanted to be like the boy said, she wanted to be a respected and loved princess.

The princess looked forward to meeting the boy again, all the compliments could not impress the princess, she hoped that the compliments were from the boy. Since that meeting, the princess never had another nightmare, and she fantasized that the boy would also come to her rescue when she was hurt. Even the scratches the boy had made on her arms, the fear the boy had left in her mind, and the intolerable urge to urinate that fear had brought had become the subject of the princess's memories. The princess never thought that she would fall in love with the boy in a b****y scene like that, she just knew that her whole body would become parched when she remembered those things, and her emotions would be stirred by it.

"Alanis, remember? This is the place. I was locked up here for half a month. Oh, and now I'm back."

Alanis looked around, she wasn't sure if this was the right room, she had thought about dating the boy in the first place, she wanted his approval.

"Yes..! It seems to be here, but forgive me, I can't remember, but I still remember your expectations of me, word for word! Do you see that I am now a princess like you said I would be?"

Oscar was a little embarrassed, he knew he had met the princess here as a child, but he had completely forgotten what he had said. Oscar answered a little sheepishly, but he vaguely guessed that the princess wanted a comment on her.

"Ah! En...... yes! You don't doubt it, you absolutely do! Oh yes! Just like my mother, you know, she was once a beautiful, honorable princess just like you! But ...... hey! You are not as gentle as she was, and the way you were angry at that unlucky man just now was ...... hey! It was wonderful!"

OMG! Alanis had burst into tears when she heard Oscar's words, ten years of waiting! Ten years of anticipation! She was finally what he'd hoped to be, gentle, wasn't she? He didn't think she was gentle, did he?

The princess lowered her head as she walked up to Oscar, Oscar tried to back away as he felt his little belly touch the princess' abdomen, just as the teenager hesitated he felt a pair of hot little hands wrap around his neck, the next thing he knew he was lost in a moist warm kiss.

When the lips parted Alanis whispered in Oscar's ear, "Am I not gentle enough?"

Oscar's spirit was still stuck in that kiss, he wasn't proud of kissing the most honored lady in the Titan Empire, he was just amazed at how the kiss was so sweet and hot! The teenager kept asking himself, is this the end? Is this the end?

The princess blinked her starry eyes at the fat little man who had appeared countless times in her dreams, he seemed to have lost weight, but it didn't matter, she waited for the answer. The teenager embraced her fiercely, his kiss was just as frantic and powerful as the girl had imagined it would be, the delicate princess felt her lips baptized in fire as Alanis carefully discerned the boy's muffled speech.

Oscar said, "Not enough! Far from enough!"

For a whole week! People were talking about that His Royal Highness. This teenage Prince seemed to have infinite charisma, and people couldn't help but wonder a little if this child was the descendant of a demon when they recalled the case that stirred up the entire Titan ten years ago.

Yes, only the descendant of a demon would possess that kind of horrible heart and bewitching charm. That teenager was just a little fat boy, but he managed to charm the biggest peach in Turin and even the entire empire in just one day of arriving in Turin. What he did with Her Royal Highness Princess Alenis at the Shabak Manor spread throughout the entire Turin in just a few days.

Royal scandals were always the most popular subjects, let alone the fact that it happened between two members of the royal family and the two protagonists were so famous! People from all walks of life in Turin were excitedly talking about this matter. And the Borsis Tea Room that the Prince and Princess had used in the Shabak Manor had undoubtedly become the center of attention!

The pressure from the scandal was enormous, and the diplomats of several major kingdoms in the Western Continent had already made an inquiry regarding the case of Alenis. Alpha. They need to explain why their favored princess, whom they all thought would be the best choice for their country's queen, has turned into a bad woman overnight.

The Princess's father also needed an explanation, once upon a time he had wiped the asses of his two unruly sons, but he had never thought that such a thing could happen to his youngest daughter, she was the jewel in the crown, she was the most honored jewel of Titan! But now, the fatherly Emperor had his head spinning! He didn't know why the God of Light was punishing him like this.

The Emperor knew there was no way to argue with what had happened, those two damn searchers had exposed that little Prince and Princess. There were many people who saw them walking out of Shabak. That same damned Minister of Justice even added to the story unknowingly, he even told himself afterwards that he didn't know that the Prince and Princess were dating. The Emperor cursed that all these damned guys deserved to die, and the Emperor vowed to collect some payment for the gray hairs he had lost over the past few days.

This father lamented! Where was his noble and observant daughter? She had stirred up such a mess not long after announcing her intention to marry in the future! The outside world doesn't even know it yet! A spy from the Ministry of Justice reported to His Majesty that he had heard voices outside one of the cells. The spy thought he was being cryptic, saying that the noises were female, painful, yet joyful. The Emperor, after some random thoughts, secretly executed the agent, who had described it aptly, but he was doomed to be silenced, and he became the first victim of the scandal.

This father had visited his daughter when she returned from the Ministry of Justice, and the Emperor was still a little alarmed at the thought of it! What had the Anru boy done to his daughter? Although Alenis had changed her clothes and straightened her hair, her lips were red and swollen, and she had left shocking hickeys on the snow-white skin of her neck and below her collarbone. The Emperor himself had often made those little medallions on his lady's body, and he could not describe how he felt when he saw such things on his daughter, who was already wondering if she was still a young girl. This Supreme Being was like all fathers when a bad boy violated his daughter! He was furious!

His Majesty the Third wasn't overwhelmed by this anger, he didn't go after the young Prince, he was just worried about his daughter, did she have to be in such a hurry? She chose the location of her first date to be in the room that was dedicated to dating, was she worried that she, the Princess Highness of the most powerful empire in the Western Continent, wouldn't be able to get married?

The emperor admitted that if his daughter really thought so then she had succeeded! The royal family would not tolerate this level of scandal, and almost all of the nobles and even the gringos were waiting to see the jokes on the Morrisette Royals. If Alanis didn't marry that teenager then she and the royal family would never be able to hold their heads up again!

This week, Alpha III spent most of his time gawking at his sister Mika's portrait. He already knew that his sister's son was probably the "long-time" friend that his daughter had mentioned, otherwise the young princess, who had never shown any respect for men, would not have invited the Prince. Oh my god! I even promised her, originally thought she was just going to visit her cousin, who knew that ......

Forget it! The Emperor couldn't blame his daughter, after thinking about it he even felt that his daughter's choice was very brilliant, that was exactly in line with his strategy for the Anru family, if the cousins were able to conceive a healthy boy then the Anru family would be much closer to the royal family in terms of bloodline.

The Emperor thought of something else at the same time, his sister was watching him with a smile on her face, he would not let his sister's tragedy repeat itself with his own daughter, they were going to have to be put through some tests, at least the young lovers were going to have to convince him that they were indeed in love with each other.
