Chapter 2:His Reasons
A nearby village was spotted at the forest, the emperor and his men decided to stay for a day since they'll be arriving in the next days in the Felice Kingdom.
He brought 50 knights and his aide as well. They were only visiting the kingdom and he thought that it'll be easier to conquer it right away if he comes along with them, mostly he only order his men to wage war but considering the rumors about the felice Kingdom he was very curious.
The kingdom was the border between the two empires and many bandits must be near the land however there was no such records about an attack in the kingdom nor they experience war.It was a bit unbelievable as well since the kingdom doesn't experience drought despite being in the hottest place and so far the felice kingdom was well known for being a wealthy country.
Lucius wanted to dig out the secret of the kingdom and he will find it out no matter what it takes.
"your majesty after this we must return to the Empire and no more conquest the empire will be the enemy of the world if you keep doing this" his aide, the brown haired man with yellow green eyes with eyeglasses said
"I don't care if the world becomes my enemy Evan" he replied and gave a cold smirk evan just sob quietly
"yes you don't care and we your loyal men will suffer" he mumble so Lucius glare at him so he shut his mouth
"When will we arrive at the kingdom" Lucius ask they were outside the inn Lucius was sitting watching his men that train with their swords
"I believe we'll be there in two days your majesty" Evan replied "Sir Joseph and sir El must have deliver the letter already" he added
"Hmm" Lucius didn't reply so evan just started talking. "It was said that the king has only two child, the crown prince and the princess, they are very well known in their kingdom for they are like the rulers of the people i mean it was said that they mostly do the governing than the king and queen anyhow it is very possible that they'll offer the princess as your concubine in order to stop the war" evan
"I don't need useless woman" Lucius and evan sigh
"you were offered many wives yet you didn't take them im having trouble with the nobles already your majesty, they keep asking for your heir" evan and Lucius stood that made evan flinch in surprise
"tsk if i ever hear your nonsense those who speak about wanting to have an heir will lose their head Evan" Lucius threaten his aide so he shivers in fear
"i -i will keep that in mind your majesty" he said and Lucius went near his knights
Evan just sigh 'why is he so cold in woman it's not known but our dear emperor never once embrace nor hold a woman and i just can't figure out his reasons it's even understandable why he kept conquering rather than his reasons of avoiding a woman' evan groan from his thoughts and only stared at Lucius
Lucius POV
That dam* aide of mine kept glaring at me as if he's trying to figure out something from me tsk he really is stupid
I don't avoid woman if he thought that it was the reason why i didn't take concubines, I just hated the thought of having a woman by my side, spilling blood in the battlefield is more easy than entertaining a woman, and i don't give a dam* thought about loving a woman like how that aide of mine kept blabbering about how a man can change because of a woman.Though it seems like I'll have no choice but to marry someone after i return or the nobles will keep barking at me like dogs if i delay my marriage.
It's been two years since i sat in the throne and yet i don't feel satisfied from this position, a hole in my heart that can't be filled but felt happiness whenever im at the battlefield.I wonder if taking the world would fill this hole of mine.
