章節 24: GoE 24 Denial of Prince Ellder

-playlist chapter: Creep by R3HAB GATTUSO

...

For a moment, Prince Ellder was silent. Then shook his head a few times.

"I remember about that day. At that time I only followed Uncle Judas. Honestly, I don't know what happened. Or what Uncle Judas was planning. So, where is Uncle Judas now?" replied Prince Ellder, asking back about one of his guards. Consort Isbella's head guard.

Since he was a child, Prince Ellder had been close to Uncle Judas. A valiant and very strong man. Judas mastered almost all martial arts techniques. Mastering all firearms to sharp weapons ever known to man.

Since childhood, Prince Ellder greatly admired Uncle Judas. Whenever Uncle Judas left, one would not forget that Prince Ellder would follow. Until that day comes. The day everyone in Uncle Judas' guard unit was arrested.

And what happened next was a tragedy.

This time it was Prince Hector and Prince Blaise who fell silent. For a moment, they seemed to believe what Prince Ellder had said. Prince Ellder's calm and innocent voice was able to meet the two stepbrothers.

"Your Uncle Judas ran off somewhere. His status is still unknown. Or maybe, Emperor Paddu has killed him somewhere at the end of the galaxy." Prince Hector replied.

"Are you sure, only your Uncle Judas was involved?" asked Prince Blaise curiously.

Prince Ellder answered with a shrug, slightly shaking his head weakly. Prince Ellder's gloomy face grew even more gloomy.

"That's what I've wanted to know since I first woke up. I wonder why all those misunderstandings turned into tragedies. Something that His Majesty Emperor Paddu's father shouldn't have done." Prince Ellder replied weakly.

The two princes looked at each other. They were confused. Their eyes were sending each other codes that they might not be able to understand properly. Each of them has their perception, which may contradict each other.

"So you want to go to Planet Titan 3 to find Uncle Judas' whereabouts?" asked Prince Blaise in a probing tone. Started the conversation after a long silence.

"Right." Prince Ellder replied without hesitation. Then, Prince Ellder nodded firmly, looking at his two half-brothers in turn.

"Then, what will you do if you can't find Uncle Judas in that place?" It was Prince Hector's turn to ask curiously.

"I won't be going home until I find out where Uncle Judas is. I have to find out the real reason for it. Why would Uncle Judas do something unethical? Or it's just a conspiracy of certain parties who want excessive power." Prince Ellder said firmly.

"..."

A faint look of fear was visible on the faces of Prince Hector and Prince Blaise. For different reasons, the two Princes feared that Prince Ellder would eventually discover. The fact that they could not know the truth.

Although secretly Prince Blaise or Prince Hector tried to find out the truth of the incident. However, they seemed to have hit a dead end. Something they couldn't penetrate. Because something is too deep and layered.

So, can Prince Ellder break through it?

"Elder, are you sure you would do such a dangerous thing? You may be expelled by Emperor Paddu. Or worse, you'll…" Prince Hector couldn't continue.

Because basically, Emperor Paddu had done something they were worried about. For Emperor Paddu himself, killing Prince Ellder was one small step. The problem is the consequences that arise if the murder occurs.

There would be a massive upheaval of nearly a third of the territory of the Solar Galactic Empire. How did it happen?

Consort Isbella was the root. The late mother of Prince Ellder was a woman who was highly respected throughout the Solar Galactic Empire. It was not uncommon for almost the entire strong district to make an oath of allegiance to Consort Isbell and her descendants.

Very simple factor. Consort Isbella is a gentle and very caring woman. On the one hand, Consort Isbella was able to captivate everyone with her innocence and unsolicited politeness. They voluntarily do this.

"I just want to find out the truth of Isbella's mother's death." Prince Ellder replied in a sad tone.

"Certain. I understand. Emperor Paddu did this heinous thing based on blind anger. Emperor Paddu's father, because at that time Mother Isbella defended you more than the Empire." said Prince Blaise trying to come up with an explanation.

For all conceivable reasons, Prince Blaise would always defend Emperor Paddu. Although sometimes they disagreed on some decisions that Emperor Paddu implemented. However, in the end, Prince Blaise understood. That only to his father Emperor Paddu he would serve.

"Haha, don't make me laugh, Blaise. You are too naive or old-fashioned. Absolute devotion to Emperor Paddu did not apply to his children. Because even the Elder Prince could be removed in an instant by Emperor Paddu. What do you expect from all of that?" Prince Hector chuckled sadly.

Because Prince Hector's position wasn't much different from Prince Blaise was. To be honest, they were envious of Prince Ellder, who easily turned around.

"You wouldn't understand because you didn't lose your only biological mother, would you?" Prince Ellder grumbled, feigning irritation.

Both Prince Blaise and Prince Hector exchanged glances. Of course, they wouldn't be able to understand. Because their mother was very obedient to Emperor Paddu. Their mother was always vying for the main attention of Emperor Paddu.

And that was never done by Consort Isbella!

The late Concubine Isbella has always acted on behalf of the Solar Galactic Empire and traveled the galaxy to unite every turbulent district demanding the right of authority. Sometimes, Consort Isbella faced a district that wanted to secede and demand independence.

Surprisingly, the two Princes immediately nodded in agreement.

"So, are you guys willing to help me out of the Main Palace?" Prince Ellder spoke again to ask his two half-brothers.

A question that made them both startled and almost glared.
