Chapter 20: 20

Just like that, the earlier displeasure that the Emperor has for his son vanishes in thin air. It's like it has never been there before at all

"T-this incident is my fault, Your Majesty and it made me feel really ashamed. I still haven't thank Your Majesty for bestowing such a kind-hearted and virtuous wife to me yet I already displeased you"

"Your Majesty, please forgive this unfilial son of yours! I was just really overjoyed by the wife you have given to me and I made a fool of myself!"

The Empress still has a lot to say that would make his husband's impression of the 6th Prince bad but all the words he wants to say got stuck in his throat

After looking at the Emperor, Ruby was sure that if he were to continue making trouble with Ryden, it was him that would annoy the Emperor

After all, as the person that has the most power in the whole Empire, how can the Emperor not be aware of what is happening around him?

It's just that, the fight for the Throne has always been happening in the Imperial Family. It was as natural as breathing

As such, most of the time, the Emperor would turn a blind eye as long as the Princes and their mother don't cross the line

However, that doesn't mean that the Emperor wouldn't feel annoyance

The 6th Prince is clearly not someone that wants to fight for the Throne. He was even this happy after being given an illegitimate omega as his wife

Why would the Empress and the Queens still antagonize him? What they should have been doing is attracting Ryden into their side

With this god of war as their allies, wouldn't they have a better advantage?

Unfortunately, the Empress has different thinking. No matter what, Ryden is still a Prince and he also has the right to inherit the Throne no matter how far fetched that sounds

If this god of war were to covet the Throne and with his prowess kill the other Imperial Princes, the Empress would surely die considering the things he had done to Ryden

After all, even before Ryden became the sharpest sword of the Empire, the Empress and his children already bullied him. The same is true for the Queens and their children

As such, no one bothered to take Ryden into their side

"That's enough. As your father, I wouldn't make trouble to you for something as small as this" the Emperor said dismissively

With Ryden calling himself an unfilial son, the reminded the Emperor that they were still a pair of father and son

The Emperor don't really care that much for this child of his but he was still his child. He wouldn't treat him that badly

"Although I have already given a fief as your wedding gift, I am in a good mood. If you have something you want, just say it to me" John said generously

He recalled that Ryden has not asked for anything from him, completely different from his other children

It wouldn't be bad to give his son things that he desired as long as it wasn't excessive

Ryden's eyes brightened at that before he lowered his head with a red face

Fortunately, Clyde has also expected this. The Emperor gave Ryden a gift in public only for the sake of the former's face and reputation

Most Emperors would give the newlywed Prince or Princess a separate gift when they did their greetings

The first gift is for the face and the second gift was for affection. It was as simple as that

Seeing Ryden's reactions that made him look like an open book, the Emperor was pleased

For power, members of the Royal Family could kill each other. There are also instances when an Emperor was killed by their own child

As such, although John dotes on some of his children, he was also on guard against them

But since Ryden is like an open boom that people could read easily, it was almost impossible that he would plot against his own father

"T-that ... t-this son actually has something I want to plead to Your Majesty" Ryden said with a face filled with embarrassment

What could he possibly want for him to be this embarrassed?

"What is it?" The Emperor asks while raising his brows and the Prince bit his lips first before answering

"Y-Your Majesty, I know that it was my duty to protect the Empire and I must always head to the battlefields but ... I-I ..." Ryden shot his wife a look before speaking in a low voice

"... II cannot bear to leave my precious wife behind. If possible, II want to stay at the Capital for a long time before fulfilling my duties again"

This was one of Clyde's goals why he wants Ryden to act so madly infatuated with him

If this goes according to normal, Ryden would soon be sent to the battlefield after maybe a month

If that happens then how could Clyde and Ryden amass power?

Sure, Ryden has military might but as long as that might is not powerful enough to ravage the whole Empire, military might would not be enough

They also have to gain some political power to protect themselves

Not to mention, if Clyde were to stay in the Capital, he would become a powerless consort without his husband

On the other hand, if he were to also head into Ryden's new fief, with his current personal strength, his life would most likely be in danger every second

After all, the border was not a safe place! Many dangers are present in there

The Isondale City was more of a military city

"How could that be ?! Are you saying that you are going to neglect your duties as a Prince just because you now have a wife?!" The Empress naturally rejected that

He wishes that Ryden would one day die on the battlefield to remove one of the thorns in his side!
