After hearing that she was being denied entry into Erida's chambers Tezrian knew something was wrong, those guards who turned her away knew of her relationship with the Princess. That Emperor Dashnell must have done something to Erida and she would do her best to find out.
Before the Empress got here she had to ensure that Dashnell would not try to hold Erida's life in his hands while they negotiated.
"Erika, Larisa, Flurae the three of you will go see the Princess in my stead I refuse to believe they will deny all of us entry, once inside pass on this letter to her and ensure she is being treated right.
Do understand my commands?" Looking at the three she hands Erika her letter.
"Yes Commander we hear and obey!!" The three said in union.
As the trio made their way towards Erida's quarters in the Palace they were sure they would face some sort of interference, what they received instead was the escort straight to her alongside the Emperor himself which caused them terror.
Walking alongside the Emperor was frightful at first but as they watched his every move they came to see him in a new light.
The way he treated the guards, maids and even his many children as they ran up to greet him, from that alone they could tell he was well liked and loved by those in the Palace. They paid close attention to the children as they would be the easiest to find signs on Dashnell's true personality.
He allowed his children to run around him unlike the maid from before, this was without a doubt why that maid was so fierce towards those children. They clung to his every limb even his tail was treated like so as they climbed up him like they would a tree, they knew before them stood a kind and loved father.
The only thing they found strange was the overwhelming amount of female children he had, at most they saw only two of his sons along their walk to Erida. The time they spent inside the Palace may be short but as they were aids of both the Princess and Tezrian they were visited and had visited many within the Palace to form lasting relations.
Yet they still had only met these two male children of the Emperor, were his other sons outside the Palace? Were these children his grandchildren? They had no idea and did not feel they were in a position to ask such a question, at least not while he was walking in front of them.
....
Grigamor was following his sisters as they harrased their father, he did not feel the need to try to get attention as they were but deep down he wanted to gain the same affection. As he looked to his right he could see his brother making the same face as him, a sourful bitter smile as they both looked at the man that was their father.
He was leading a trio of beautiful women somewhere in the Palace that even they could not reach.
He even allowed them to tag along as he made his way over to his destination, Hanson his brother was trying to work up the courage to speak to their father and show off his talents.
Hanson was gifted with the ability to control all natural and unnatural fires, a gift he most likely inherited from his mother Empress Iris. Grigamor always felt that he was inferior towards his brother as both of their mothers were twins and he was the only son of Empress Ivy as Hanson was the only son of Empress Iris.
He did not gain much talent like his brother, he only receiving excellent training like all his other siblings, but he could not help but feel the need to be like his elder brother Vesta.
Grigamor would always visit his mother Ivy when he wanted to say all the things on his mind, a few years ago when he was much younger he thought his mother would hate him for being a disappointment.
Those thoughts of his were not something his father or mother shared they both loved him and it showed as no matter what he was always able to get a chance to see his father whenever he needed.
His father had never missed any of his birthdays or gave him a worthless present so he wanted to do his best to make his father proud the only problem with that was his lack of strength.
He knew staying within the Palace would not push him to want or need power to protect anything so long as he remained under the protection of his Father. The Emperor!
Clenching his fist he ran past the group and appeared in front of the Dragon Emperor shocking his younger and older siblings alike.
"Father! I.. I wish to leave the Palace and roam the world like Eldest Brother Vesta and Tianna. I know that I might be weak now but I hope that you can still allow me to roam about the realms father!"
The silly child was doing his best not break down and his icy blue eyes were the exact opposite of his mothers fiery red.
"Fine do what you want, just be sure to let your mother know that you will be leaving the Palace. Ivy is afraid that you will not notice that you have flawless talent with the element of ice, she worries that you will never train it properly and focus on fire instead.
I am fine with you leaving but before you do I want you to be able to control your ice as well as you can control fire. Is that fine with you Grigamor?"
Shocked by my reply he takes a single step back before rushing into my chest crying his eyes out not caring who sees him.
"Yes.. Yes father I will not let you down I... I will go an see mother now!" The 10 year old child was happy but soon realized what he did in front of such a crowd.
After he recovered he ran away knowing that he was just seen making a fool of himself, but all those feelings he held deep down were gone just like that. Hanson laughed at the display his brother just made and he too walked up and requested permission to leave the Palace.
"Why do you not like it here Hanson? Why is everyone leaving me does my Palace reek?" Hanson was not like his brother he was fiery in nature just like his power.
"Father I wish to become stronger to be able to better control and understand my flames, I can never push myself if I am always protected within the Palace so can I also leave like Grigamor?"
His reply stung a little he was nothing like this a few years ago always running up to me calling me dad, as he tried his best to tackle me. Now he just has a fire in his eyes that tell me to put him to use.
With all the joy now wiped from my expression I look at Hanson seriously knowing that he wishes to become a soldier serving my army. Everyone moves away knowing that the talks are becoming more serious, giving me and Hanson space.
"Are you fine with being under General Three Suns child? He is currently out conquering worlds for the Dragon Empire I will assign you to his unit. Since you want to display to me your might you better prepare yourself Hanson."
Sending a child no more than 10 to the battlefield was something I have been doing as many of my male children find that to be the time to leave the Palace.
Some wish to roam the various worlds others wish to fight in the ongoing wars. Hanson was one who wished to show his worth as a soldier in the army, like Leon.
"Father thank you! I will not disappoint you just watch I will become one of your most outstanding Generals!!"
Without waiting for my reply or anything else Hanson rushed away heading in the same direction as Grigamor.
Running out of sight I send a message to Eleanor and to her alone.
"They are much more alike than they like to put on, Eleanor assign 2 guards to always watch over them from the shadows. Do you understand me?"
Answering from the void I get my reply.
"Yes Master! I understand, also Vesta has left the mortal realm are you sure Samara will be ok with this? Tianna followed him as well and then they went their separate ways. Both Samara and Tia will cause a fuss once they find out how do you want me to handle this?"
Her voice was heard by me alone as I made my way in front of Erida's bed chambers.
"If they find out its fine but until they ask of their whereabouts say nothing, I sent Morrigan with Tianna so she will be fine. It's just that Vesta did not want anyone who was stronger than him to tag along, leaving me no option I let him take Derrick and Tomas with him.
He will be fine I gave him a gift before he left, it is a orb that will monitor his every move and if he truly encounters any danger I will appear to save him. Morrigan has one as well, I will not allow death to claim the life of those I love if I can prevent it."
Hearing this Eleanor did not reply but left to carry out the orders she was given, as she left another shadow took her place and it was Trish.
"Master I have come to keep you company while Lady Eleanor is away, please 'use' me in anyway you wish!"
With a smile on my face I turn back to the trio who followed me here and send Trish a mental message about my plan once we enter Erida's bedchambers.
I know for a fact that Tezrian sent these poor souls to scout for her, while I will allow them to pass on the information it is time I add them to my collection.
Today they will join Erida and tomorrow Tezrian will become my next victim.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
