Avoiding the Emperor

That night the emperor decided not to sleep in Lucious for some unknown reason, he back out and lucious thought that he won all thanks to his edel his chameleon pet. Edel is a rare animal that is not known to many people especially in Lucious country, Edel is a female chameleon that he found when he was venturing a forest to escape from his lessons.

He accidentally stumbled upon it  when he  thought it is just a branch of a tree but it turns out it is a kind of animal that he find it so fascinating because of its ability to changed color and from then on he brought it in his home which made his mother faint. Even though Edel is a kind of animal that is not that cute (but for Lucious it is the most lovable cutie cutie animal ) Lucious is very sensitive to edel because it have its own mind and moods (according to Lucious).

After feeding Edel he put her in her own cage carefully. "I'll just gonna take a walk wait for me here and be a good girl okay? if Neil came don't let him touch you "

After bidding Edel a goodbye Lucious is now ready to escape. Today he decided that he had enough, enough of everything it could even consider a miracle that he able to stand to not do anything for days  that is why today is a perfect day to runaway and make  the emperor realize that he made a wrong choice to pick him.

And so the adventure starts!

knock! knock!

Lucious quickly made his moves faster, from the window he immediately climb to the roof when the guards are not looking and that is when he exactly hear the servants practically making noise after opening the door and not seeing anyone but a sassy chameleon with a half close eyes.

"Immediately find Master Lucious and notify the Emperor!"

So Lucious jump from roof to roof without a noise and with his flexible, quickened pace and experience he was able to find the the small tunnel that was created by Neil and he immediately crawl in when suddenly a hand pulled him.

"What took you so long?" Neil said with annoyed face.

" There's too much guard " Lucious said while patting and dusting away the dirt in his clothes.

"so what now where do you want to go?"  Lucious just smiled, happily with a slight hint of mischievousness.

"First stop the Harem Palace "

On the other hand ....

"What the hell are you all doing?! I can't believe a single person was able to escape you twenty guards ! " Lee shouted.

" Go! find him but do let this news out it would disgrace his majesty name "  and so the guards dessipitated.

Lee faces the raging emperor who could not utter words but when second pass by he suddenly let out a chuckle and as if an insane person he laugh. Lee is still calm and just moved on the side and bow his face.

" Lucious mischievousness is starting ... Let's see who will give up first "  The emperor uttered and gestured Lee to come forward.

"Notify his family of what happened, double the guards in his palace and find the man who is always with Lucious the bastard we saw in his room "

Lee nodded.

After changing to a clothes that indicating that he is an normal citizen both men started their journey.

" so how's my family? " Lucious asked.

"They missed you greatly, your father practically almost in the Emperor's palace asking when can they see you." This made Lucious even more angry in the Emperor.

"That bastard Emperor ! I knew it he is locking me in that ugly palace! Even Edel is cranky " Lucious said while stomping his feet and kicking while he walk.

"How about my mother and brothers? " Lucious again asked.

"They're no better. Your mother is listless and your brothers ... " Neil hesitated if he should tell what his brothers condition are.

It is known that Lucious is especially dotted by his brothers and knowing that Lucious is no longer in their Household is hard enough but not seeing him for weeks is a torture.

" T-They said that if the Emperor still didn't let them see you ... they will forcefully invade the Palace and get you out of there " Neil said which is slightly fabricated.

The truth is the day Lucious departed, the most affected is the three brothers, they locked themselves in their room and after some days refusing to do their duties they constantly visiting Lucious room. They're very upset and when they thought they could see their precious brother they were very excited and even bought many presents. They waited and waited to be summoned but they were not until their patience run out they agreed to invade the palace and even considered war against the Emperor which is nearly impossible.

Lucious is very touched he even wiped the invisible tears in his eyes and sniff.

Lucious didn't further ask and when they about to reach their destination the feminine laughter consumed their ears and lucious heart soften and excitement filled him. His main goal is really to just sightsee some beauties and just play around to entertain his boredom and annoy the emperor.

When they reach their destination, the women laughter suddenly stop when they all saw two handsome men standing not far from the. The taller one have a sharp eyes and uninterested is evident in his face while the other have a beauty that could compare to any other women yet child like aura is evident.

"may I know what these two gentlemen want? " The other woman asked.

" Nothing in particular we are just a little lost ... and hungry " Lucious reasoned when he saw that these women are having a tea party.

"Then would you like to have a taste of our pastiere ?"  The other woman asked and even providing them a seat.

Lucious beamed and without answering he ran and seated in a round table which the ladies immediately offer him some teas and foods but lucious didn't take it immediately but instead started to spout some praises that made the majority of the women take a liking to him.

On the other hand Neil is still calm while drinking his tea while the women besides him keep talking and asking him some question while offering him foods. Though he just answer them when he felt like it the women also take a liking to him because he is giving them a 'cool' 'mysterious' aura that flatter their hearts.

" You are all so beautiful and kind does it not bore you all being locked here? " Lucious asked not forgetting to looked innocent to make then not suspicious.

"Sometimes but it's alright it benefits our country so .. "  The woman answered.

" If I have a hundreds lives I would marry each everyone of you and give you a happy life. These beauties is not just for display but it just right to flaunt them, well it just my opinion I hope you all don't mind "  Lucious said flattering the ladies further which he succeeds greatly.

"May I asked what are you doing here in the palace? looking at your appearance you are not just some servants. Having a smooth and white skin are you a son of some royalty? " A woman asked

" And I can't remember seeing you here. Are you a guest ? " another woman asked that made Neil and Lucious look at each other.

"Actually I'm a son of one of the guest in the palace, can I ask you all a favor? " Lucious said while trying to act cute and innocent as possible.

All of the ladies nod simultaneously.

"you see, i just run away from my guards because I want to explore. To tell you all the truth I'm sickly and doesn't have that much chance to even walk on my own and today just I just happen to have some strength and I want to stroll but my father insist that I can't. " Lucious said while looking gloomy and teary eyes even leaning to the woman beside him to look even more pitiful.

"can you all make it a secret that you saw me and my aid here? that you all didn't encounter us today? I'm sure that some guards are finding us " Lucious said even more cutely at the same time pitiful while looking in each women eyes.

All of the women are smitten in Lucious they all agreed in concealing Lucious and neil.

Wow, no wonder his family dotted him. Even I can't resist that *sigh* Neil Thought.
