Chapter 10

Maid
Maid
Its the Empress, your highness.
Elliot
Elliot's Thoughts
I knew it...
The Empress.
In the novel "Flames of the Ashton Empire", the Empress was known as the lady of high society. The epitome of perfect as a noble lady. But, the dark side of her showed up in the later parts of the story, where it was known that she is the birth mother of Prince Elliot, but, not Lloyd. Lloyd was born from the affair of the previous king and his mistress right before he died. Which means, he had some succession rights to the throne and no blood ties to Elliot, since the current emperor became the emperor by usurping the throne by killing all of the princes.
In this situation, where there was a threat to Elliot's succession of the throne, the Queen was hellbent on getting rid of the last blood ties of the previous emperor.
Elliot
Elliot's Thoughts
If this is the case, he will not be safe anywhere.
Elliot
Elliot's Thoughts
Since the Empress has control over all of the Palaces, Lloyd won't be safe anywhere...
Elliot
Elliot's Thoughts
If i manage to persuade the maids into joining my side, the empress won't be able to do as much anymore
Elliot
Elliot's Thoughts
But it's impossible to take control of the maids both in my palace and Lloyd's palace
Elliot

I have no choice but to make an excuse to be able to bring him home with me

Prince Elliot
Prince Elliot
Im sorry, I'll make sure you leave this place as soon as possible so you can live safely.
Prince Lloyd
Prince Lloyd
Why are you apologizing, brother?
Prince Elliot
Prince Elliot
... Nothing
Elliot melted at the sight of his innocent little brother's glimmering eyes. They were a beautiful shade of bluish gray that made it seem like his eyes were made of diamonds. The once tainted diamonds wished to one day be able to shine brightly in the sky once again. That was the hope that Lloyd unknowingly placed onto Elliot. Hoping he would be safe in the warm embrace of his only family. Atleast, the only one who cared for him.
Prince Elliot
Prince Elliot
Now, Lloyd, get some sleep
Prince Elliot
Prince Elliot
I promise no one will bother you as long as i'm here so dont worry and get some rest
Prince Lloyd
Prince Lloyd
That means you'll stay with me, right, brother?
Prince Elliot
Prince Elliot

Lloyd finally falls into a deep sleep, knowing he will be safe as long as Elliot is there
Prince Elliot
Prince Elliot

Atalia
Atalia

Prince Elliot
Prince Elliot

Prince Elliot
Prince Elliot

Prince Elliot
Prince Elliot
It's only a couple of hours away from Lloyd's palace so tell him i'll be back by midnight and that he doesnt have to wait for me.
Atalia
Atalia
Are you sure you'll be fine without attendants, your highness?
Atalia
Atalia
Atleast, take a guard. Please
Prince Elliot
Prince Elliot
No, i'll be fine.
Elliot
Elliot's Thoughts
I have to hurry, to make sure Lloyd gets out of this place as soon as possible
To make the journey even quicker, Elliot decides to take a horse. Though it may be very improper to just waltz in the castle with a horse, he's got no choice if he wants to make it my midnight
-Halfway through his journey-
Elliot
