The Titan Empire: The Game of Power

Volume 2, Chapter 2

Oscar gave his sister a very calm smile, and yes, her mind had regained its peace after the initial agitation. Since he was his father's favorite youngest son, it was all a matter of course.

"Sasha, don't look at me so strangely, I'm fine!" Oscar soothed his sister, "You still haven't told me what my father thinks about all that about my future."

"Father only said one thing about it, he said you can do whatever you want, if you get into trouble big deal just run home, no horse is as strong as Rysol's feet. Besides the family misses you!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh la! I see, father still has some sense of humor, it seems that this serious old man is not hopeless." Although Oscar had developed an unprecedented respect and love for his father, he didn't mind making jokes about the "old man".

"Oh la!" Sasha echoed his brother's mantra, "You know what, brother? The old man is very shrewd oh! He accurately predicted what happened in the palace today and he guessed correctly even those things you said. Father told me that your wisdom will get you through this safely because he believes that you share his notice that Alpha III is an extremely sentimental person. That's why today I wasn't even worried about you moving to Feston Court right away. Just 'old man', ha! How apt! It's just that the old man didn't expect the Emperor to enthrone you as Prince of the Ice Bear either! Ha ha! Brother! Do you like that title? It seems you need to discuss this matter in depth with your father."

Oscar would never doubt his sister's wisdom again. Her ability to understand her father's bitterness towards her, her ability to stand in the family but above it to gain insight into the Emperor's plots, all of which showed that Sashaie's mind was not at all inferior to his own, and even that this little girl would become a brilliant strategist after years of baptism.

Oscar was confident in his own thoughts.

Sasha was getting a little sleepy from all the talking, she had her eye on the big bed in her brother's bedroom after the Ice Bear couch, Sasha pulled her brother up into it, Oscar felt a little bad about it but he immediately convinced himself that he and Sasha never slept apart at all when they were kids.

Sasha had obviously prepared for the night by taking a children's book out of a drawer in her bedside table. As a child, she used to listen to a story before going to bed, and naturally, the person who lulled her to sleep was her brother Oscar. She had given up the habit after Oscar's arrest, but she hadn't forgotten, and Sasha had waited ten years in agony to hear the next part of that story.

Oskar also had mixed feelings when he saw the book of fairy tales, the book with the passage of time has been slightly yellowed, but which is loaded with friendship but the teenager never dare to forget.

Steadily receiving the book, the boy helped his sister find the most comfortable position to lie down.

As soon as Oscar picked up the book he immediately regained all of his old habits. He ran his tongue over his fingers before expertly finding the bookmark, which was still in the same place it had been ten years ago on the night before his arrest.

For the first time in her life, her brother's gaze was so moving that Sasha was a little mesmerized, and she hurriedly closed her eyes as the little ice bear's very expressive voice came to her ears.

"Oh la! My dear little Sasha! We pick up where we left off last time, when after the main character, Snow White, was abducted by seven evil dwarf bandits, her lover, that handsome and dashing prince, set out on a determined quest to save the princess ......"

While Oscar demonstrated all his storytelling skills, Sasha also shed teardrops as the story began. Sasha knew it wasn't a dream, the tears were bitter and salty, and she saw her frowning brother through the mist of water in front of her eyes, who was holding that fairy tale book like he used to.

Oscar was a little dazed looking at the dried tear stains on Sashaay's sleeping face, his heart had ached so much that he had lost consciousness! Ten years she has not lived as happy as Anne described, Antonie is deceiving herself, in fact, he would rather be deceived by Antonie like that, if he knew that Sasha is such a suffering, then he would have knocked down the walls of Domolga, after killing all those who dared to stop him to fly back to his sister's side.

The boy embraced the girl as the girl had dreamed of doing countless times.

Little Oscar smelled the scent of Narcissus' hair, he couldn't sleep, he thought back carefully to the case that had landed him in jail ten years ago, and despite the ten years of separation, he never regretted the kind of craziness he had gone through for the girl.

Memories are sometimes like running water in a stream, which trickles through one's heart; at other times they are like ocean waves, which lash the heart with the impetus of the monsoon.

Memories took Oscar to Titan in the year 776 of the Bright Calendar, when Kensington Palace was in full bloom with brightly colored peach blossoms. His Majesty the Emperor was holding a ball there, a lively gathering that the supreme being loved nothing more than, and he even allowed his guests to bring their families with them.

Kensington Palace is located on the northern outskirts of Turin, and it was built during the reign of Emperor Henry of the royal name of the Morrissette dynasty. The great Henry IV triumphed over the kingdoms established by the Aryans in the north and forced them to cede the province of Kensington, which bordered on Titan. In honor of this feat, this king built the palace named after this province in a dense peach forest.

While the Turin in the height of summer was a bit scorched by the hot sun, the Kensington Palace at this time of year kept some coolness in its high temple roof and enclosed palace walls on all sides.

The rulers of the Alpha Dynasty of the Morrisette Dynasty liked to hold their receptions in the palace of the last emperor, but only because of its spaciousness, the hall of this palace can accommodate two thousand people, and on its thirty-meter-high roof there is the largest fresco in the Western Continent, and that his majesty had used more than 140 painters to complete the 55-meter-long and 42-meter-wide masterpiece.

In fact, this is not the reason why the third ruler of the Alpha family loved this huge palace, but rather the dense peach forest outside, which was the real concern of His Majesty, Alpha III, in the prime of his life.

Alanis. Alpha. Her Royal Highness Princess Alenis Alpha Morissette was the youngest daughter of Alpha III, she had two older brothers, two older sisters and one younger brother, the Princess despised her older brothers, who couldn't even hold a sword properly, and who had learned to bully the girls at a very young age! The sisters didn't seem to be able to do much else but fantasize, and needless to say the brother, that little snot-nosed brat couldn't do anything but cry. As for her father, the princess shook her head and asked the God of Light for forgiveness, but great God, don't you think my father looks like one of those male dogs when he chases women?

The princess was only seven years old, but she was well educated, and the priestess in charge of her instruction had even asserted that the young princess would be a queen. The princess was proud, her father doted on her and her brothers gave way to her, but that didn't change the princess's opinion of them.

Perhaps it was the success of her education, or perhaps it was just nature, but as the Princess Royal of the most powerful empire in the Western Continent, young Alenis matured prematurely. She already knew that she would never fall in love like a princess in a fairy tale, that it could merely appear in her dreams, and that she would marry a powerful and exceptionally honorable man in the distant future, but what if that man was like her father and brother? Anticipation of the future and contempt for her father and brother permeated the princess's childhood. She is special, beautiful, and sometimes even more dangerous and cunning.

And now Alanis. Alpha. Her Royal Highness Princess Morissette was in a very bad mood because someone had stolen her thunder, if it was in the past, at this time of the year, she would be surrounded by the ministers' sons and daughters, even though it was just a group of children, but she was the king of the group, they all listened to her, they were like her puppies.

Sashaie was on a roll, the little miss had taken advantage of her brother, her father had hoped that the distant journey and the lively and fun Turin would dull the sorrow of his youngest son's loss of his mother, but the little miss didn't know any better, she had pestered her adoptive father for a week before she got the chance to go on this trip, in fact, she didn't have a clue as to what kind of things travel and Turin were, even though her subconscious mind was telling her that it was going to be fun, but she simply wanted to follow Oscar's brother! She had never been separated from her brother since she met him.

The reception went on without a hitch, it was only natural that the little kids would not be allowed to roam the grounds while the big people drank and danced and socialized and flirted, the little princes and ladies of noble birth were all gathered in a specific area - a corner of that lush peach forest, the children were chased away from the palace, but they didn't care about what the grown-ups were doing, they had their own reception, and of course the grown-ups had only given them fruit juice.

Sasha was talking and laughing excitedly. The males had gathered around her long before she fell in line. A grim-faced and somewhat unpleasant little fat man kept her company, and the annoying fat man had finally been dragged away by one of the ladies just now, so now the angelic girl belonged to them.

The children gathered at Sasha's feet and listened to her tell the story of the Knight of Buffy in a childish voice, all these children, no matter how big or small, loved heroes and legends, not to mention the stories of heroes they had never heard of or seen before that had only been passed down in the Anru family.

Sasha had no idea that her imitation of her brother had been so successful, these were the "bedtime stories" he told her. The children in front of her looked at her with adoration, their emotions rising and falling as the story progressed. Sasha was so proud of herself that she didn't realize that her actions had seriously infringed on the Princess's authority, and that Her Highness was gathering a few of her sworn friends to discuss what to do about it.

Alanis. Alpha. Her Royal Highness Princess Morissette's brainchild is Wood. This fifteen year old boy often has little ideas for the Princess, and he and his companions, who are undoubtedly highly regarded amongst the princes and nobles, together often bully the weaker children.

Wood. Buksid was the son of the Duke of Roberstill, Minister of State. The Minister of State is the son of Duke Robustil Buksid, and the Minister of State has more than once reminded his only son to get as close as he can to the most promising Princess, and if he can get a hold of her, that would be the best thing he can do.

Wood already knew what it would be like to marry the Princess, so that he could have a gold star on the family crest representing the royal family.

The Princess, still half aware of her desire for power, simply did her best to emulate her father among the children, and Wood, madly desiring her, did his best to carry out duties similar to those of his own father. And the children who followed them, both big and small, whatever the hell they were doing. These noble sons, whether they were really good or not, thought they were little adults themselves.

The princess appeared in front of Sasha leading a few of her followers, Sasha was a bit confused as the children around her quickly backed away.

Handsome teenager Wood appeared in front of Sasha, he looked condescendingly at the somewhat overly pretty girl, in the presence of the princess Wood tried to keep himself from noticing her beauty. He already knew that the girl was a member of the Anru family, and he also knew that his father was not on very good terms with the Anru family.

"You are to stand and bow when facing Her Highness! You uneducated girl!"

The sensitive Sasha knew that the other party was not coming from a very friendly place, and she sat steadily on the cool stool looking at the older boy who was half a body taller than herself. "Your Highness? Is that you?"

Laughter was already coming from around him, Wood was a little annoyed, not even a prince would make fun of him like that in Turin, but he did make a mistake, he was completely in the way of the Princess behind him, he hastily took a step to the side, he had already decided that he was going to punish this bold and baggy girl severely, this was the capital, this was the palace, no one had ever rushed him here.

Sasha saw Alanis, not much older than himself. Alpha. Princess Morissette, she rose and greeted the Princess, there was nothing to pick on, Auntie Antonie had trained her in the manners of the nobility to an excellent degree.

The Princess had been sizing up the girl for quite some time now, she knew that Sasha was just as beautiful as she was, and that didn't infuriate her, what she was really puzzled about was how those children could be that natural and excited in her presence, but too scared to even lift their heads when confronted with herself. The princess obviously didn't realize that her little clique had completely ruined her reputation.

"What is your name?" The princess had gotten the vague impression that the little girl in front of her was superior to herself in some way, a thought that annoyed Alanis to no end.

"Your Highness, my name is Sashaie . Netagapo. Anru, my uncles and aunts call me Sasha, my parents are deceased and my adoptive father is Dortmund . My adoptive father is the Duke of Dortmund-Andrew. Duke Netagabo. Oh! Right! And my brother, my brother is Osne. Anru. Morissette."

Alanis wasn't interested in the individual names the girl had said, while she was curious about the fact that the girl's brother had the King's name in his last name, the princess didn't want to pay attention to that right now, she just wanted to make it hard for the girl who had violated her authority in her territory.

"Well..! No one cares who your brother is, and don't you realize that you've seriously violated me?" The princess looked horrible.

But Sasha didn't find this princess scary, she just recalled what had just happened, she didn't seem to have done anything wrong, she had even just met this princess, she looked at Alanis confused and shook her head.

The princess was also a little unsure of what to do, should she tell her that she was just looking at her out of jealousy?

Wood immediately understood the Princess' situation, it had happened before, and the Princess really didn't know how to deal with those who "offended" her.

"Don't you know? You little witch who confused the princess with ghost stories, you should be burned alive on the judgment pillar of the God of Light."

Sasha's eyes widened in disbelief, and the princess was surprised at Wood's accusation.

"No! That's not a ghost story! That is the pride of my family, that is the legend of my family's heroes, a true legend, and you have insulted me and my family, and you will apologize!" Sasha was getting a little antsy, she was deeply proud of her family for having heroes like that, and she cared more about this obnoxious older boy calling himself a witch than she did about his denigration of heroes. In fact if it had been any other boy in the Anru family then there would have been an immediate duel to the death over this.

"NO! They are the demons! They were created by you, a demonic witch, to deceive the princess! Luckily, I recognized them! Haha!" Wood. Buksid turned to the princess without caring about the girl's reaction, "Your Highness! Please give your decree! We must punish this witch." The children around him followed his lead.

"Alright then! Since she is a witch!" Punishing the girl with red hair also gave Alanis something to look forward to.

Wood was glad that the princess was able to say that; the princess sometimes took him at his word. He had already thought of a bad trick to use against Sasha. "Alright then! Everyone has heard! Her Highness has decreed the punishment of the witch, haha! Everyone go prepare some mud, we'll first gag the witch. Haha!"

Sasha knew she was in a very dangerous situation! Geez! How could these people of the empire do this to her, she had never been wronged like this before, she defended herself loudly but the children were either hiding away or gloating, when Sasha saw that someone had actually brought over a clay pot of mud she tried to run away but she was immediately grabbed by two children much older than her and they held her down for dear life.

"Ah! You guys are bad! I'm not a witch, you can't do this to me! Brother! Brother Oscar!" Sasha cried in shock! She cried out her brother's name, knowing that he would never put himself through such aggravation.

Sasha tasted the dirt as Wood coated her face and mouth with mud, and she struggled frantically, her cries of anguish having turned into cries of despair.

Alanis knew that Wood had gone terribly overboard, and then again the girl was a duchess, should she stop him?

It was at this moment that the children heard an angry tiger roar, yes! The children did use the word tiger roar when explaining to the adults afterward.

Oscar did not believe what he saw! He saw something! OMG! What were those guys doing to his sister? Oscar regretted it so much, he never should have gone with Annie to visit those adults, he never should have left his sister alone! Look at that! Oh, my God! God of Light what are you doing? How could you let someone bully your angels like that!

Anger burned through the little fat man's brain, he wanted to kill, he had longed for the various means those heroes used to kill their enemies! Oscar remembered that his second brother, who was addicted to fighting and brawling, once told him that he must search his surroundings before a fight, this was to find a weapon that would be handy in the shortest time, let's say a brick, a stone or something.

Oscar chose a chair, which seemed to be a bit hard for him to hold, but Oscar didn't think so, and even wondered if the "weapon" in his hand was too light for him to use against the enemy. He roared and charged at the kids holding Sasha down.

The children were frightened by the tiger-like roar, and the two children holding Sasha were already dragging the girl backwards, and they were the first ones Oscar had to deal with, and the children dodged as they felt a vicious wind whipping past them.

Oscar's chair slammed hard into the head of one of the children, who had long been stunned by Oscar's crazed expression, and as he subconsciously tried to dodge, the sharp pain that came from his head caused him to scream out in agony before he knew nothing else. The kid didn't die, but he never woke up afterward.

Blood splattered Oscar's face, and he was satisfied with the trauma he had inflicted on the guy who had grabbed his sister, as he saw a b****y hole the size of a coffee cup opened up in the guy's head. Next then! The other guy let go of Sasha and turned to run, he was smarter and Oscar ignored him, his final target was the "big guy" with a handful of mud! It didn't matter that the guy was two heads taller than him, he had to die.

The chair was broken, and Oscar had just hit it with a lot of force. He wielded what was left of the "stick" in his hand, and he kept hitting Woody. The bad boy was also frightened, this fat man with a face of blood was the devil, he didn't seem to care about his own fists, Wood was tired of dodging.

The children had run away screaming as soon as they saw the boy the fat man had knocked down, motionless and bleeding all over the floor, oh my God! Murder! Little Biker had been killed by a demon!

It seemed to be much quieter, Sasha fell on the ground and vomited in pain, the little princess was so stunned that she forgot to call for help, her eyes were filled with bright red blood. Oscar obliviously twists and punches Wood. BUCKHEAD.

Oscar was getting a little impatient, this guy was much bigger than he was, and his fists were hard and solid, he had no advantage, and he could barely lift his arms.

At this time Oscar suddenly thought of that second brother mentioned to him the rules of the fight, no strikes to the lower body, no strikes to the head, Oscar could not hit his head, he was too tall. Then ...... Oscar no longer pay attention to Wood's fists, he aimed at the unlucky guy's lower body, the little fat man in the eyes of the right and then kicked hard.

Ooh la! Oscar was shaking with excitement! It's so effective! The big guy covers his lower body and cries on the ground in pain! Thanks to the rule of the second brother! It's time for his head next.

One blow! Two strokes! Three strokes! Four strokes! Haha! Oscar counted and beat the falling dog's head painfully with the stick in his hand. Wood would scream at first, but by the time Oscar reached the twelfth stroke he would only be twitching.

The sound of Sasha dry heaving roused Oscar's senses, and Alanis. Alpha. Princess Morissette had recovered from her initial shock, and thought she should save Wood first, or else Wood would have been beaten to death by the madman by the time she summoned her lord. The princess took two bold steps forward, having no idea what she was going to do by going up like this.

Oscar saw her sister! What a ...... what a f**k! This guy had defiled her with dirty mud! Oscar didn't go over to appease his sister, he had more important things to do right now! This guy must not be let off easily! Oscar noticed some broken dinner plates and knives and forks scattered on the floor as he saw the princess approaching him.

Alanis was taken aback again at the sight of the teenager's gaze, and she didn't dare move a muscle under his gaze! She wanted to set aside Wood now, it would cost her life to go against a murderer like that.

Oscar picked up an extremely plain dinner fork, which made the hairs on the princess's body stand up in sweat as the devil walked towards her. She wanted to scream, but her extreme fear prevented her from making any sound, did the devil already know that this was all because of her? The princess blamed herself deeply for the first time in front of the devil, why did she go and bully that girl? Honestly she didn't do anything wrong, was she really a witch? OMG! Now her devil brother had come to her rescue! Geez! Who's going to save himself?

Oscar did not know that this girl was the culprit who had bullied his sister; he only wished her to serve as a witness to his own triumph. He pulled over the princess very roughly, the princess didn't dare to shout or scream, her tears rushed out, what status or position she had forgotten, she was now facing a devil, for the first time the little princess knew that a man's power could be so great, she felt that her arm was about to be torn off!

Oscar pulled the princess to her knees in front of the slightly panting Wood, the anger filled teenager spoke coldly in a voice from hell.

"I'm Osne. Anru. Morissette! I come from the Anru family of Narcissus County, and the knights of my family have a tradition that after gaining victory they gouge out the eyes of their enemies so that they will never find their way in the darkness to the heaven of the God of Light, and that they will float around as lonely souls forever, and that their souls will be tormented by darkness for all eternity."

The princess now finally knew what the demons were up to! Geez! Making people's souls never rest in peace was indeed something only demons could do.

Oscar ignored the princess's expression of utter fear as he spoke to himself.

"I can see that you are a noble girl, now I invite you to be a witness to my victory, this guy who cruelly bullied my sister lost against me, then he should receive my punishment, now, the ceremony begins!"

Alanis. Alpha. Princess Morissette saw this man who claimed to be Osne. Anru. Princess Morissette saw the little boy, who called himself Osnée Anouilh Maurissette, thrust a fork into the left eye of Woody Buksid without the slightest hesitation. Buksid's left eye, and she was seized by the eerie sight of Wood writhing in agony, of him foaming with blood, of his penetrated left eye still moving.
