All of the council members including the king and his sister's family are all present there to determine and resolve the issue that everyone are trouble with. The ONLY designated date and can't be move anymore.
In a short period of time, The royal king's all family members including sky, pai, and phayu, entered the room looking ahead with a straight stern faces. The king and queen sat down to their thrones while the rest are grouped along with Phayu.
"Let's start? Shall we?" A firm tone of him.
Duke didn't waste any time as he step infront to discuss his opinion. "Allow me to be impolite for time being, your royal highness" a simper. "Go ahead" that grin duke hemhiran silently, a malice expression can already seen on his eyes. And a surge of powerful gut raises his confidence to speak out all of his opinions in mind.
"Your royal highness. May I asked for the reason why the position of the crown prince is still unoccupied?" He started. "Why? Do you desire for my son's position, duke hemhiran" he was displeased after. "What if I am? Will you grant my wish, your royal highness" a mischievous grin of him.
Instead of being hit by the duke hemhiran words, the king was amuse. "I see, you're trying to tainted the throne, duke hemhiran". "I don't understand what you mean" he denied his eyes started to restless. The king scoffed on his replied "I won't allow a culprit like you to ascend to the throne even on my last breath" it's more likely a curse and a warned for the duke.
"It's wrong to accuse someone without any evidence, your royal highness" he exclaimed. "It can tainted your reputation and your position as well" he added, evily curving his lips. "You should be saying that to yourself instead, hemhiran" he counterattack him with firm tone of his.
Hemhiran being unease, he gaze at the council members asking for help. official Kim stood for him "Perhaps, there's a certain reason why your royal highness are being defensive about the crown prince's position. We all need to know the reason, if you don't mind" he speaks out even he sounds rude towards the king.
"Official Kim! Watch your tone, your speaking to his royal highness" Ostel scold, the king gesture a him a 'it's alright'. "Alright. Since you all are eagerly to demand for the reason" the king gaze on them "May I asked prince phayu and pai along with sky to continue on this discussion?" He request.
The three of them stood up and bowed down "Certainly, your royal highness" they said in unison.
"What an impatient person are you, duke hemhiran" a sarcastic tone of pai, before proceeding pai clear his throat. "For all of your information, his royal highness defend the position of the crown prince not because of his own desires for himself or to continue his kin in the future. It's actually ONLY reserve for the crown prince himself, from the start" he stated.
Baron lok huffed on pai's statement "And why would the king kept and reserve the unoccupied position of the dead crown prince that could never come back?" Baron lok picking a quarrel with pai. "And prince phayu" he gaze on him. "Why haven't you search for a new spouse yet? Perhaps you wanted to be widower in future" he blabbing with his rubbish reasoning attempting to turned the table. "And why that bothers you, Baron lok? You're not my mother or my father to scold me for that " he humiliate him getting him whipped with his words. "Aren't I just stating the facts!?" He determined. Phayu death stare at him and says "You're not in the position for that" a deeply disagreement of phayu.
"Stop with this nonsense and spoke behind the truth of your disapproval, your royal highness. Why did you even let these youngsters speak out" he complain to the king. "Silent your mouth, will you? Don't always howl here and howl there, Marquess Teo. Continue, prince phayu". phayu nodded.
"I am not speaking nonsense, Marquess Teo. It's the truth and facts. Even princess ple can testify " he remarked. Ple felt a strong pressure after her name was called, she pretent as if she didn't know something and denied what phayu said "What are you trying to say? I.i don't know anything" She denied yet her tone speaks the truth. "If don't know anything... Why you sound pressured and nervous, hm?" A smirk was seen on his face. "Why are you still denying the fact, that you met the prince in person" he added.
After phayu confesses, all eyes are on her. "See!? Even prince phayu is talking nonsense!" Baron lok complain, darting his finger at him. "I am not faking everything. It's all true without any single lie mixed" he replied. The rest of the council members started to gossiping, acknowledging what baron lok said.
"If you're stating the fact, show us an evidence, Prince Phayu. Words can't testify, only evidence can" another official demand.
Sky, on the corner, witnessing the situation becoming worst. His finger moves restless nd thought for a better solution where the table could turn on their side once again. Pai kept glaring on each of them, furiously thinking on how could they be this stupid to ally with duke hemhiran. Pai walked towards to sky and whispered something. "Are you sure, this could help us?" Sky asked. "I think it's the only way" sky bite his lower lips. "Okay" sky leave silently there without anyone noticing.
Phayu gaze at the king, the king understood that immediately. "Bring him in, ostel". The door behind opened widely, it reveals ostel and a youngster behind him.
"Familiar, isn't he?" He gaze at duke hemhiran. "This boy may not testify about the crown prince but he can testify everything his family's dirty sins" he exclaimed. "He's Som hemhiran, the son of duke hemhiran whom he neglected and abandoned at the age of 5. Who suffer for being mistreated and never get any care from his family, acting as if ple is the only child of them" after phayu stating the truth about the second child of the duke, phayu crouch his legs down to his level and pat his head "Go on, spill all the truth. I'll be behind you, incase they attacked you, hm?" A reassure smile phayu gave to som.
"Duke hemhiran, my father, is the culprit why the royal prince has gone missing after the queen gave birth to him 19 years ago. My mother as well attempted to poisoned the King unfortunately she didn't succeed at all. They're the culprit on the accident happen 1 year ago too. And on the top of that, They also plan to claimed the throne after" he confesses all.
"No! he said was all lies!" Duchess scream unease. "You can't escape anymore, sister. All your evil doings has finally came to it's end, you can hide or run anymore" her brother said.
"Haha.. HAHAHAHA!" She laughed like maniac. "All lies! Those aren't enough proof that we really are the suspect of the accident 1 year ago" she told that creeped everyone out. "Can the prince proves that then?" Sky joined in with his Crafty smile. Another bitter smile of hers "How can he testified if he's corpse living under ground already?" she continue to laugh.
Phayu suddenly received a call "Sky, val, sai, foil, come with me, quick!" They leave after.
An hour passed, phayu are back opening the door. Phayu and the rest came back, they're somehow in a kind of dance position(V). "You want him, right? Your wish is my command". All of them moves a side, a youngsters with light Blondie hair and pouty lips was seen. He made everyone stare at him with a surprise and widen gaze.

Drizzle wandering his eyes around, thinking why they kept staring at him for so long. He move beside phayu and asked "Why they're staring at me?" He whispered glancing to everybody. "I'll answer those question of yours later. Right now, help me with something, hm?" He replied.
"This is Prince Varain Noeul Nuttarat Tangwai, the crown prince whom been missing 1 year ago" Sky declare. "Impossible! The prince have died 1 year ago, he has to be doppelganger of his" Duchess hemhiran argue. "And how did you know?" A cunning tone of sky. "Did you somehow knew something, duchess hemhiran?"
"How dare to speak to me like that! You're just a servant!" She pointed and looked at sky with her menacing looked. "Why don't you let him speak, duchess hemhiran?" The king said. The duchess was unable to speak further, it will become a threat to her and her family more.
"I can guarantee that he is a real deal, duchess hemhiran. Without any lies mixed unlike you".
The duchess eyes furious about what this servant said to her, she's not believing of what he said to her. He's just saying those to frame her that supposedly he shouldn't known. No one should have known what they did from the strart.
Sky turned to nuea gesturing him to gave the bag to him, sky opened that bag after receiving "and this is the strongest proof that he really is the crown prince" Sky brought out a clothing from that bag, he widen it more to see. "This is the tuxedo the crown prince chosen for his supposedly wedding. Unfortunately, that didn't happened because of Princess Ple's doing, am I right, princess?"
"Does this proves everything hemhiran's?" Sky questioned the hemhiran's as he furrowed his eyes at them.
"What are you waiting for? Go and arrest them!" By the King's order, a group of guards surrounds them, cornering the three of them. They handcuffs their hands unable to be free from doing anything. The duke kept protesting and resisting as they're being escorted outside by the guards.
"everything is finally over..." He murmurs to his wife and his wife smile brighter "The suffering we've been through, my king"
