Reincarnated Into An Imperial Prince

Chapter 10 - Letters

 It was like as if, no one could compare to his father.

From afar, the galloping of horses could be heard.

The people's joy, happiness kept on climbing till they got closer.

There was momentary quietness as on the leading horse which was supposed to be his father was his father hugging another woman in his arms as he rode heroically into the city.

He did not stop which prompted people to give way.

Even they had to shift as the army galloped straight to the palace.

He could hear his mother's breaking heart.

'It seems like, this so called father of mine is a scumbag '

'Che, his eyes gleamed dangerously '

Looking at the people below him who were already gossiping.

"Who is that lady?"

" Tsk, the King came back with a femme fatale"

"Ha! The Queenis more beautiful than her can't you see"

"What comparison is there to be made. The Queen beauty left her to the dust"

Some men could not help but speak up.

"The Queen has been in power for some time, do you think she will give up her position".

"Can't you see that this is the type of women , men like.

A woman who brings out their protective instinct."

A lady spat. And her voice rose a few decibels.

"She is just a sl*t"

"What do you know that is the Kings Woman" a woman said to remind the lady that she was talking about the King.

"Who knows if it's just a plaything" Another lady spoke from the side.

"Am not saying anything, before I would be captured. I still have a family"

Many people nodded and left.

The supposed jubilant affair turned into nothing, the Queen preparation was also gone.

Flynn heard all their words and his lips kept on curling up but no one noticed as his head was lowered.

Amelia thought it was because, he was disappointed by his father.

Her heart clenched. Squeezing his palm, she raised her hand to signal the people behind her.

"Let's go"

.....

The arrived at the palace. The officials also followed behind as the Empress stepped in.

.......

William sat on the throne.

He watched the Queen step in with the officials/ministers.

He did not see the purple haired boy who was with her.

He did not say anything and his face was just cold .

He waited for her speak .

......

Amelia knew that the first thing to do was to hand the power back over to the  King.

Looking at his cold face, she was Lucky to have left a backup plan by listening to her son.

Even though his prediction came through, she hoped it was the opposite.

After some praise, she spoke

"Your Majesty, you have left the kingdom in my hands to leave for the battlefield and protect the citizens. Here is the Seal, the document, Edicts.... She called many documents to the table both the minutes book, account book etc.

She had learnt from her son and appointed an Official to be in charge of writing minutes of the court session every morning.

She also kept accounts of all the money used in the treasury and none was missing.

It was not less or more.

New business have opened up both in the capital and other provinces.

She talk about the development of the Kingdom and did her best to humble herself and mainly praised the Officials, Army and King.

She finished reporting and her throat fell parched.

The ministers felt shocked that she handed over the power immediately and wondered if there wives could do same.

...

Williams listened to everything and was a little shocked, when he heard about the minutes book. He took a look at it.

Seeing the orderly arrangements. He could not help but nod his head.

It contained a lot of information and he could use this against some officials as well.

He went to the last minutes and could not help but notice that the officials have learnt to restrain themselves.

Kpa!

He closed the book.

The Queen has done well, as the mother of the Kingdom.

He waved his hand and allowed her to seat on the Phoenix Chair/Throne which was beside him.

He looked at her and felt more satisfied.

Seeing how she was, he knew she was thirsty but said nothing.

"There would be a banquet tonight"

He did not even ask her if she had arranged for it.

Amelia felt lucky. She had prepared invitations and had already sent it out. She had also made the necessary preparations for it.

She followed him as he left the hall.

Her heart felt itchy. She wanted to ask him who the lady was, his relationship with her and why she is the palace?.

She waved at a maid, to get Flynn. She had not taken him with her when she entered because she noticed that the King had dismissed everyone except some servants and the army. So she only came in with the officials.

......

In the Emperor study.

Williams sat down. He looked at Amelia who was his wife and had been handling the Kingdom in his absence.

{ Author: I will be using Kingdom, Dynasty/Empire- they all mean the same thing }

He could not help but feel irritated.

He noticed a purple head boy beside her.

"Who is this?" His deep voice carried an intimidating aura in it.

Queen Amelia did not answer immediately but nudged Flynn a little.

"Greetings Father" his tone was  polite

William was stunned. He looked at the boy. He noticed their similar features.

He also remembered that she had shown some pregnancy signs but he had not taken it seriously.

He did not have any brother as his mother had made sure to wipe them all out before dying.

Amelia would also not cheat.

He was happy but when he remembered something, his face turned cold.

"I don't have purple hair or eyes neither do you or our ancestors"

Amelia spoke. " On Flynn's birth, it was an  auspicious occasion......" Amelia could not help but describe it. Her black pearly eyes shining.

"How come I don't know about it?"

"It was in the letter I sent " Amelia answered not understanding.

She writes letter every month and send it to him.
