"What is the meaning of this Albert grey?"

The emperor asked dad in a loud voice.

"Although I understand the crime of killing a court officer is very severe and this kingdom has strict laws I believe you should not rush your decision"

"Oh, and what do you mean by 'rush it' are you perhaps threatening the emperor?"

Ob shit dad came in gun blazing but will he succeed the emperor put him in a tight spot.

"Haha"

Dad laughed light-heartedly.

"Is there something funny Albert?"

"Not at all your majesty, it's just that I believe you should factor in the strength and resources my dukedom provides for the empire and make a very well thought decision I am merely advising you as the Grand Duke of this empire"

I could see the emperor grit his teeth as dad said that.

There was a moment of silence but I noticed a small smirk had formed on the emperor's face.

"Very well then, I was going to give William Grey the Death Sentence but considering the fact that he is indeed the son of the Grand Duke I shall lessen the sentence to banishment to Freesia Forest"

!!!

After the judgement was passed the crowd around me burst into chatter.

"Your majesty I'm certain you wouldn't mind if I were to be the one to drop my son to Freesia forest?"

After dad said that I noticed the conflicted look he was giving me.

'So this bastard wanted to kill me on the way!'

"There is no problem he shall be handed to you today and he will also be escorted by a team of royal guards for extra protection"

"That's okay your majesty"

Dad said with a slight bow and looked towards and mouthed.

'I'm sorry son'

I nodded with a slight smile on my face thankful for having such a dad.

The guard that escorted me grabbed my hands and started pulling me away.

I once again push his hands away and tell him I can walk by myself.

When I was exiting the hall I heard someone say.

"Such arrogance"

"He deserved it"

But unfortunately for him, there are too many people saying such things about me.

Hmm, guess I was not well-liked amongst the noble circle tho I can't blame them for it.

...

*sigh*

This jail cell smells so disgusting.

...

*clang**clang*

I guess it's time for me to leave huh I thought as I look at the guard unlocking my jail cell.

"Stand up and follow"

"Okay"

...

We walked through the palace attracting a lot of attention but were sent back once the royal guard told them to disperse.

We walked towards the main gate and exited it where I saw 3 carriages with mom and dad standing in front of one with the Duke insignia and the other two with the royal family insignia

Sigh, I should have fought back but I would still get finessed I thought remembering the strength of those guards they were all stronger all of them were dark grey.

"Hey mom and dad how you doing"

I smiled and asked looking at mom and dad looking at me worriedly.

"We are fine let's go"

Mom said and entered the carriage avoiding eye contact dad looked at her go in.

"Let's go, son"

"Hey remove my handcuffs"

"No, please sit in the Grand Dukes carriage"

Sigh

"You need to loosen up dude I bet you've got no girl"

I noticed the guard flinch and go towards the carriage with the royal family insignia on it.

Haha, guess I was right.

I smile and enter our carriage followed by my dad.

I step into the carriage and.

*oomph*

"I'm sorry William we tried to make the emperor redact the punishment but the best we could do was lessen the security"

I look at mom who was hugging me and feels my eyes moisten.

She is really car... No dad and mom care for me huh.

"No mom and dad thank you for everything you've done for me I really appreciate it"

Dad didn't say anything but just patted my head and told me to sit down while mom stopped hugging me and sat down opposite of me beside dad.

I feel the carriage start moving and we just sat there looking t each other for an hour before dad finally broke the silence as he looked out.

"We are going to attack those guards in a bit you need to go to a village that gonna come up soon and hide there for a bit then move around to avoid the pursuit of the guards okay"

"Will you be able to deal with them?"

I asked looking at them this time it was mom that spoke.

"Hmph, if we cant defeat them then what's the point of our titles huh"

I look at mom and realized what they plan on doing...

"No mom and dad you don't need to do all this"

"But that bastard is sending you to freesia firest which is basically a death sentence!"

"Mom believe me I won't die so easily I'll stay alive not only will I stay alive I will be back and strong enough to crush the emperor!"

Mom and dad just looked at each other before sighing

"You better stay alive and make sure you come to see me at the end of the year if you don't me and your dad will storm the palace and destroy the emperor"

Mom said while clenching her fists and the temperature dropped while dad just nodded his head calmly but his eyes were saying a different story.

I wonder what dad had been through to have such killing intent become visible to even someone like me who hasn't killed a human before.

I looked down and smiled finally coming to a conclusion.

"Dad James is a fool but not an idiot just make sure that he doesn't get influenced by bad people and he will make a fine Heir for the dukedom"

I smiled and said.

Mom looked at me confused but dad just nodded.

I guess he knew huh.

We continued talking as I thought about how it would take 2 days to get to the freesia forest.

...

After mom and dad had a very emotional farewell with me and left reluctantly I looked down at my hands to see the missing cuffs.

I guess that guard was not all bad he took off my cuffs in the end.

I look forward to see a forest so big all I could see was trees and mountains far into the distance I guess this is gonna be my home from now on huh Emma?

[Yes it will william]

I take a step forward into fressia forest when I hear a very familiar Ding.
