1279 Words
"Is it ready?" the first prince asked. "Not yet," a woman answered. Emperor William was a researcher before he became the emperor and he traveled all across the globe not just to conquer lands but to seek power. "Sweet," the first prince reacted as he looked at the rare item that he found. The main plan is to take all the people who hate the emperor but that is not limited to the people inside the empire. The outside doesn't have anything to do with the inside. however, he is willing to go to a greater extent. "So how does it go?" Lady Sylvia asks the first prince about his business and vice versa. "The whole production of metal weapons is at its peak and the recruitment which is held in secret is now at its peak as well" she reported. She skims at the work of art in front of her and compliments ironically to the prince. "You're insane." He only smiled and agreed. "Did you know that you'll risk a lot of lives just to attain this?" she said. "Yes," he answered confidently. There are other lands outside the empire also known as the unconquerable lands. The previous emperor failed to colonize the whole world and it's because of the existence of the 12 eternal threaders. His goal is to take these 12 eternal threaders to be enemies of the empire. A few months after the preparation, the first prince sailed the vast sea to look for a potential enemy for his brother and with the use of his father's last trace of information which regards the eternal threaders. He began his quest. Days passed then it turned to weeks and months but still there was nothing until they encountered a sudden attack from sea pirates. They fought and at the end line of defeat, they found the voyager king, Seda. The threader of blades and murder. Prince Howard introduces his plea to him which he declines at first. Everything seems hopeless up until the first prince hits his interest. He mentioned the owner of Whispering Paradox which is the 2nd prince of the empire. Bloodthirst suddenly arises. Seda demanded to see the threader whom he fought and brought seething excitement into his blood and chills to his bones. The assassin prince, the toy weapon of his father. "This is a chance to see you again," he said with a big grin on his face. Anything just to see him again. The intense obsession and bloodthirst. The excitement and adoration. Unexplainable bliss that makes this eternal threader live his immortal life joyfully. "I am in love with you emperor," he said. The statement sounds insane for someone who is straight. "Seems like he doesn't know?" The first prince butler whispered to his master. When Evan reached his 23rd birthday he started to live his life tamed and peacefully which made him more suitable for the throne however his long connections are not dead. Everything that made him infamous is still alive and breathing. The first prince interrupts with Seda's self-celebration. "I would like to stop you're fancy but instead of heading back. I would like to take this opportunity to track down the vassals that I may need" Prince Howard said with a grin on his face. "Of course" Seda's facial expression changed from an overjoyed smile to a relaxed smirk. All at once the ship of the first prince with the pirate ships of the eternal threader Seda, sailed to the direction that he was pointing. Something that even the previous emperor never discover. Days turn to night and nights turn into day and when the passengers complain that they are just going in circles. They started to ask the chief pirate Seda who was chatting with the first prince of the empire. Instead of giving them accurate answers, he conceals it under silence. A smile that no one can understand. It continued for 3 days until the subordinates of the first prince complained even more than they ever did in the previous days. "IT IS A SECRET PASSAGE!" His emphasis. "IT WON'T HAVE BEEN A SECRET IF PEOPLE EASILY FIND IT!" He scolded which made everyone dumbfounded. The first prince enters his room and leans on his reclining couch. His butler Jonathan tends to him giving him refreshments that he may need. "You have been close to the Pirate King," he said yet after the last word of his statement the glass that the first prince was holding flew past him, hitting the wall. "We talk about the empire," he said like he was shedding it out to his beloved loyal butler. Jonathan lowered his head confused about what might offend his master again. Until Prince Howard continued his statement. "Our topic is the empire, my father, and the accomplishment and fame that had gone through the years but do you know what pisses me off?" He said. "He talks about that bastard like he was the best part of the empire," he said in deep abhorrence. "Is that bastard, the second prince?" Jonathan asked looking for clarification. "And who else would it be?" He stood up and banged the door of the comfort room. Jonathan was silenced. The jealousy seething in the first prince's heart that he tries hard to hide is uncontainable. When it is too much for him to handle he explodes like a ticking bomb. Jonathan looked away to express his worry. The first prince's health is slowly deteriorating due to his psychological and emotional state. It has a negative effect that he even cannot deny. He is his loyal dog and an older brother to him yet he can do nothing to ever save his master from the hatred that he keeps on building and storing inside his chest. "I hope this foolishness stops killing you slowly, sire" he muttered as he closed his eyes. A few minutes later, everyone was astonished when there was a sudden great wave that could almost flip the ships away. They went out like ants leaving their anthill due to outer attack. The sound of the alarming danger bell was heard at their location. They are heading to a circular current in the middle of the ocean. There are enormous waves that are sweeping them towards the center. In the middle, it was all pitch black, and aside from the alarm ringing was the terrifying sound of an echoing voice, the sea, and the thunders. The clouds seem lower and vast to see. The lightning won't stop striking all around and it hits on their level of sight. The sound of the strong wind is also ringing joining the music of their death bed. No one is left unfrighten. Amid the chaos and anxiety. A sound of loud laughter. It was coming from Captain Seda who was clinging onto the rope watching from the edge of the deck. "I can't believe I am here to see you again" he exclaimed like an insane folk. "Did you bring us here just to die?" The prince's people asked, taken by the great turmoil that they could no longer bear. Yet instead of listening and responding Seda looked in front and continued his crazy monologue. "The Threader of Destruction and Death!" he stated. When the first prince heard his statement he was dumbfounded in awe that there was such a thing that he never knew. The previous emperor never brought him in any of his expeditions, not even once. So these are the things that his brother, the second prince encountered when they were both away to conquer lands. There he found a fragile sleeping little girl.
