Misfortune's fortune

Prince Wayn wore his robe as he walks fast.

Biting his lower lip.

"Why does anyone try to stop that woman?" He asks angrily.

The guard is running beside him.

"Your Highness knows about the Second Princess'es attitude. Nobody can stop her."

"Then, don't anyone of you think of informing me before all of these occur?"

Wayn clench his fist.

"We tried but you are not responding your highness."

Wayn stops and bite his nail.

His been very heart broken and he admits that in some point he wants to stop breathing. But that is just for a while. He have a dream. And no matter what he will achieve it. Charles is just one man. If he become a King who can't he have?

"You! Don't you know who I am? I ak the second princ--"

Slap.slap.slap.

The Princess is outside the store. He was being held in both arms by Hanperson's soldier. And a burly man in front is slapping her pig like face.

The maids with her are all weeping and shouting for forgiveness but ignored.

The crowd are all looking at thr second princess with mixed emotions.

"You will pay for this! I will ask King Father to eliminate your Hanperson's famil--Ahh!"

Slap. Slap.Slap.

Slap.Slap.Slap.

"Wuuu...Stoppp...Call my husban--"

Slap. Slap.

"Wuuu...Wuuu.. "

Julius is being tended by Lorenzo's maids. The two are sitting in a comfortable chair.

Lorenzo is drinking tea. The maid are combing his hair with a strange but aromatic oil applyed on his hair.

Some are massaging his back and arms.

"Father in Law, is this alright? She is a princess. The King will find trouble against you."

Though he admits that not only is he happy and glad about the timely save by his father in law, he can't fight the urge to feel scared about the consequence that follows.

"Father."

"Pardon?"

"Call me Father."

Julius eyes widen.

And he looks down feeling emotional.

He always hate his father.

Not only did he have a wife, he have other concubines. He always ask his mother why she agree to marry him. His mother didn't hide from him the truth. She was an orphan and she is living a very harsh life. Her Auntie gifted her to the Victor as a maid. But the lecherous man put his hand at her and she got pregnant. She become the man's many concubine that not only has no voice, she also has no rights.

She apologize that she has no courage to end her own life and gave him a hard life. Together with Gale, his baby brother, he swears that one day he will become some one his father will look up too and he will let him suffer the same pain her mother experience.

Victor's are just a third rate noble family. They have title but they are very poor. His father can only earn 80 silver coins monthly. He has one wife and 7 concubines including his mother. He has alot of daughters and 6 sons. His salary are enough to feed them all but the matriach and the main wife are both spending money extravagantly like rich people so sometimes the food is not enough for everyone. Julius hated how his father turn a blind eye to them concubine's sons and daughters when they eat poorly. His mother is always smiling. But he knows that when night comes she always cry silently with grumbling stomach.

He swears he will be a scholar.

He will be a government official, way more than his stingy father and let his mother and his brother enjoy a good life.

All of that shattered when the main wife told him he will be marrying the prime minister's son.

"You know I want to be a scholar!"

For the first time, Julius raised his voice and argue with his father.

This is his dream.

If he married a woman,fine. But if he married as a wife, that is like depriving him the only oasis he yearn for all his life.

His father tolr him the truth.

He looked at him with shock, scorn and pain.

"You are....selling me?"

He remember how his father slap his face and anger wrapped his whole body.

He said it is a great honor to marry into the prime minister's family.

But he can't forget the reason why.

His father has a huge debt.

And Charles asked his hand for marriage in exchange.

He swallowed his pride and march in the altar.

Marry the man.

He weeps like he never weep before.

His mother lost 4 kilo from crying day and night for him.

His little brother too.

He didn't marry....he died.

He always held his head high no matter how poor he was, how abused he was in the manor. Because someday, he knows he will be someone important. Someone that will rule over this people.

He will stand beside the ruler and he will be kneeled upon.

He always...always believe that. He only has that one goal.

But he was drowned by his own family.

He thought he will end up dying in despair.

He thought he will end up resenting life itself.

"What are you thinking?" Lorenzo wipes the tears in Julius eyes.

Julius shakes his head.

"Thank You, Father."

Charles gave him a home.

And a father.

The man he loathed the most is now the one who loves him in the world.

Who pamper him and cry for him.

"I want to see my husband."

He murmur.

"I'm sure he will run to your side. That fool will cross the sea for you."

Julius blushes.

It seems the princess whimpering and crying sounds like bells and singing in his ears. Its so sweet.

"Father, isn't it enough? If something happened to her?"

"Hmp. The King gave me honor no one in this kingdom has ever had. He said that nobody can ever demean me not even his entire family. So who is that outsider she thinks she was? She married the prince but it has been only a couple of months and she thinks that she is above this country's people? She even call my son an impotent. How about you tell her how impotent he was."

Julius blushes in Lorenzo's teasing and he suddenly hide the red cherries in his neck.

"Father...You.."

Lorenzo laughs loudly.

He pats Julius shoulder.

Tomorrow is your brother's coming of age. My son asked his elder brother to accompany you."

"What?"

"It seems it happened way back the time when you two are still in bad ends. How about now? Is he still unable to attend?"

"Of course not! He...He should be talking about this with me. He really...Sometimes he is too much. Embarrassing me like this." Julius blushes even more.

Lorenzo smiles happily.

"You look like my wife."

"Pardon?"

"Charles never seen his mother. She is not a very exprrssive woman and always act tough. But she is beautiful and understanding. My wife spends most of her time tending to our sons and she never gets mad at me even though I have no other time for her. She always gives me comfort and assurance and love. My wife resembles you. Maybe Charles also feel that comfort when you are near."

"I don't know how to feel about my husband thinking of me as his mother but...I am happy that you are no longer against me."

"I am just sad that he force you. Do not get me wrong. My son's preference, at first I can't accept it. I tried denying it. But he keeps on doing what he wants. He always knows what he wants to be. I am happy that you are thr one he married. You change him."

Julius blushes.

"I...I am not..he is sweet."

"Hmmm."

"And he has a honey tongue. I am mad at him but he always put my wishes first. Nobody can't not love him back."

Bam.

"Stop this nonesense! Release my wife!"

"Hoh~ Finally, the main event is here." Lorenzo sharply glare at Wayn.

Wayn frowns when he saw Julius but he is not here for him. He looks at Lorenzo.

"Prime Minister, this is too much! Even if my wife is wrong. I am the one who should reprimand her and not you!"

"Easy for you to say. My son here, Julius, got hurt by that woman. And call my son impotent in front of all these people. And not only that. She said I am my son's lover and I am a dirty old man. Tell me your highness prince. If I should just let it go? You are glad you even see her alive. If it is not for her, being your wife, why me, the respected prime minister have to let someone live after that? Care to tell me what should I just do?"

Wayn eyes widen.

He heard that his wife find trouble for Julius.

Why is the prime minister saying that he got slandered instead?

"I..."

Son?

For now it should not be what's eating him but he can't help it.

Wayn glares at Julius.

The prime Minister accepted him as his...son?

Forcing himself not to cry he gulps two times and breath deeply.

"Pardon me. I don't understand. My wife is a very kind and lovable princess. I don't believe she will say something like that against the prime minister."

He walks to the woman who is crying and having a pig face.

Her face is a total mess.

The guards stop hitting her and move back giving the prince a way.

The princess head is spinning but when she saw the prince she lights up.

"Honey! That dirty bastard hurts me. He is that Charles old flame. Such fucking dirt-"

Slap.

Angry, Wayn glares at the woman.

This bitch is really stupid.

A/N:

Awwts~

That will hurt.
