Accused of Hostage
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*writing* Dear, Aria sent a report on Princess Palace budget.
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*looks up at her* Is it inadequate?
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*smiles* No, Actually, they used less amount. So, she sent remaining budget to Royal Treasury.
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*smiles* My sweet daughter. What about our son?
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*looking through different papers* Oh Here it is. Report on Prince Palace budget.
Eliana Ashford/Empress
It's same as Aria. He sent remaining amount to Royal Treasury.
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*satisfied* As expected of him. Good.
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*chuckles* What about the taxes?
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
The subjects find the current taxes fair and reasonable. Everyone has paid them happily.
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
As we are making changes and giving back to people. They are happy.
Eliana Ashford/Empress
There's-
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
(The guards didn't warn us. It must be Tristan)
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*smiles* Come in, Tris
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*walks in and bows* Gr-
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*gets up and walks towards him*
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*sighs* There's no need of such formalities between brothers in private, right?
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*shrugs* Just a habit.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*looks at the stack of paper* Did I disturb you both in Royal work??
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*smiles and gestures to sit* Please sit, brother-in-law.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*nods and sits in front of them* Brother, Thank you for letting us stay.
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*moves hand in air* It's nothing, Tris.
Eliana Ashford/Empress
We are family. Families help each other. Your mansion will be fixed soon.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*smiles* Thank you, sister.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
I got a message that you summoned me?
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*relaxes on couch* Yeah. Eliana told me what happened to Serena. But she didn't heard it properly so we don't know it in detail.
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
I remember we searched everywhere for Serena. Then... How did you find her? And why she is in that state?
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
And who do you think is behind the attack?
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*takes a deep breath and narrates everything in detail*
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*in shock*
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*horrified*
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*in sad tone* Actually, I don't know how they tortured her... I only know they hit her and sucked her powers forcefully...
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
But I think they did more.... The traumatic attack she had last time.... I can never forget it.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*emotional* My baby said she will be happy if I kill her. She asked me to kill her....
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*hurt by the words* The trauma must be deep. Her behavior and her attack....
Eliana Ashford/Empress
Our niece suffered a lot..
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*in hurt voice* Yeah. I always thought of your kids as mine. And now, our Serena...She
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*sighs and looks down* It's because of that b*tch!!
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
How dare she hurt a kid??❄️
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*rubs his back to calm him*
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*looks at Tristan* Bro-in-law, Do you think Hestia attacked the mansion??
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*thinking* I don't think so... I'm not sure if she knows I have Serena.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
I believe the attack was planned by Pope Reverend.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
He said he will try to take Serena away from me.
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*leans back* But how is it possible? He clearly doesn't have enough power to attack your mansion.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
I know, Pope Reverend is not powerful enough to challenge Ashford Family. But he could've asked help from other Empire's Holy Temple.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
All of them believe that Divine Saintess belongs to Holy Temple. So, if they shake hands with each other then they can attacks us secretly.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
And the attack occurred just a few days after Pope Reverend left our mansion in anger.
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*leans forward* I understand what you are saying. Since, he couldn't get Divine Saintess through that method, he resorted to publicly accuse you of keeping Divine Saintess as hostage.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*shocked* WHAT??
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*nods and takes a envelope from the stack of paper* Here...
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
The envelope from Holy Temple. They accused you of keeping Divine Saintess as hostage and declining her to do her duties.
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
I believe he doesn't know that Serena is biologically your daughter.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*reading the letter* That b@stard. I should've just threw him in dungeon.
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*takes the envelope* Relax tris. We will have to solve it in Royal Court. After two days?
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*nods* Okay. I won't let him take away my Serena.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
I don't trust them. They will hurt my baby.
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
*nods* Trust me, tris. I won't let anyone take away Serena from you.
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*smiles* Yeah.
Xavier Ashford/Emperor
But, you need to bring Serena to Royal Court.
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*worried* Okay... I will try...
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*gets up* I will leave now. My baby must be waiting for me.
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*stands up* When can we meet her?
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
*smiles* Don't worry sister, I will talk with Serena.
Eliana Ashford/Empress
*nods*
Tristan Ashford/Fl's dad/Duke
