《Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant》Another Uninvited guest - I

2 Days Earlier.
Inside an extravagantly luxurious room, which was filled with noble dresses and various accessories and jewelleries befitting of a noble lady, sat a beautiful girl probably looking at her reflection in the large mirror. The mirror showed a pretty face with glistening sapphire eyes and long blonde hair. She got those jewels like eyes from her mother and the beautiful long hair from her father.
A maid was fixing her clothes which were chosen by her beforehand. Today was nothing significant, it was just like any other usual day, but her father had asked her to meet him in his office at yesterday's dinner, so she was getting ready. As the day of the princesses' birthday was getting near, she had hoped that she could go to the town to buy gifts and dresses for the day but did not know what's coming.
Soon she got ready and made her way to the office where her father was waiting. As she opened the door, she had hoped to greet by a cheerful atmosphere, but what welcomed her was the complete opposite of it. The atmosphere was like some war planning was going on, still she proceeded cause it was her own family.
Her father, who was a robust man in his forties, had regal features and blue oceanic eyes with blonde hair and whom she admired most in the world. He sat behind a large wooden desk going over some paperwork, with an impassive look in his eyes. In front of him sat a lady with long, silky black hair and glistening sapphire eyes, just like her. She had a letter in her hands, which she was reading with an annoyed expression.
Seeing their faces, the young girl understood something bad had transpired.
"Mother, father has something happened...?"
"..."
"..."
Both of them stayed silent, saying nothing, which increased her ever-growing suspicion even more, but before she could say anything, her mother spoke.
"Adel, sweetie, come here..." said the lady with sapphire eyes, gesturing her towards the seat beside her and Adel followed her words and sat down.
"I think you realise something has befallen, right...?" said the man with blue eyes in a thoughtful tone.
"Yes."
To her response, the man quietly sighed. All these nonsensical things happening every day were taking a toll on his mental health. But what he could do...? It was his duty to oversee everything as the ruler of this land. He had power, wealth, reputation, loyal servants, everything a man could desire, but still he was not at peace. Whenever he would try to enjoy a day, something would arrive to disturb him, as if this world were unsatisfied with his existence.

And today was a when he had plans to enjoy a day off from his duty and spend some quality time with his family, but to his luck something fairly predictable had transpired.
"Father..."
"Yes... So, the crown Prince has sent a letter." It was his rightful duty to inform her about this cause it was originally for her which was intercepted by him for some obvious reasons.
"What...?" Hearing the word crown-prince, Adeline's expression changed drastically.
"Yes. He is coming here in 3 days and you should be prepared." Replied the duke with the same deadpan look in his eyes.
"Why...?" She knew who that idiot of a crown-prince was, but couldn't understand why he was coming here.
"We don't know that. This letter only mentions that he is coming to meet you."
"Father, you know, the reason he is coming is just to irritate me."
"We know that Adeline. But we can't do anything. He is the crown prince, the future emperor of this empire." said the Duchess in a soft tone, trying to console her daughter.
"I know who he is... I just don't understand why he is coming.... Did he got bored with all his girlfriends or just want to annoy me...?" replied Adeline with a loud voice.
Wilhelm Isolde Von Elysium
Son of the Emperor who ruled over this empire named Espedor and the one to inherit that title to lead this country into a prosperous future. He was smart, handsome, rich, and obviously spoiled beyond recovery. Still had some common sense, as he didn't become famous like some certain man.
But it didn't stop him from enjoying his life to the fullest. That certain man spent his days gambling, drinking and fighting, before all people, but Wilhelm was smart. He didn't do any of that openly, but did everything in private, hidden from public eyes increasing a bit notch. He also spent his days drinking, gambling and fighting with other powerful people, same as that certain someone, but what he did a more different was to spend most of his time around girls which that certain someone didn't do.
He was too afraid to take that risk, but Wilhelm he was both powerful and supreme among all. An alpha amongst alphas, or that's what he thought to himself. He had slept with countless noble girls from many powerful families, and they all agreed with it, cause who didn't want to be the future empress. But that guy chose no one, only bedded once and just left. Still, no one dared to say anything, as no law applied to him.

He got everything he wanted. Nothing was beyond his grasp except only one thing. A Girl, precisely a girl with beautiful jewel like sapphire eyes and long blonde hair. Despite her young age, she was calm and composed. Always spoke when necessary and her words were prefect, more like a mature person. He fell in love with her at first sight as she perfectly suited his taste, but no matter what he did, she didn't even bet an eye on him.
He tried. Tried many times by visiting her house, gifting her flowers, dresses, jewelleries and many more but nothing. But he didn't lose hope as he was an alpha and every woman must surrender to alpha. That's a pretty illogical way to put it, but it's too awkward to discuss, so let's move on.
So he tried many times, to no avail, which soon turned into an obsession. A terrible obsession, cause that girl was the sister of that certain someone who was infamous for his personality. And one day his obsession got the best of him as he tried to touch that girl, which then led that certain someone to visit him at his own house with a sword. Sounds pretty flimsy, right? But it actually happened. In retaliation, he also pulled out his sword, but they didn't fight, just started badmouthing each other, which went like this...
...
"Fuck you...!"
"Fuck you too...!"
"Fuck you...!"
"No... Fuck you...!"
(It went like this for 5 minutes. Then it went it deeper.)
"I am alpha, you moron... you can't do anything to me."
"I know... Still fuck you."
"Fuck you too, dickhead..."
"You asshole..."
"I will push this sword in ***...."
"Oh, yeah... I also ****..."
(Censored for extreme swearing, but let's move on.)
...
It continued for like half an hour and then the Emperor came himself. He was not an idiot who didn't know who that certain someone was, so he acted like a smart ass and solved the whole situation within 10 min and everyone went home. The end.
If you just thought like that, then it was not that simple. Cause there was more...!
The emperor didn't act like a smart ass, but acted more like a dumbass. Instead of solving the complete fiasco like a good ruler, he acted like a father whose son was bullied, and everyone knows how that works.
He sent a letter to that certain someone's father ordering him to force his son to apologise to his son publicly. (Too many sons. Ok, so the certain someone's name was Leonhart and that another so-called alpha's name was Wilhelm.) And that didn't go very well because Leonhart's father, the Duke, told the emperor to go fuck himself, not in a literal sense, but he wrote a letter telling him it was Wilhelm's fault and his son did nothing wrong and if he tries anything funny once again he would feed him to his dogs.
Oh boy, now the emperor got really mad and sent 100 knights to get the duke's daughter so he could marry her to his son and all of us know how that turned out. The duke sent over 1000 men fully armored in retaliation and it blew up on the emperor's face. Seeing this unnecessary fight, the entire population of the empire thought that the ruler of this land had gone mad over nothing, so his reputation got a little shaky. Also, he became a laughingstock in neighbouring kingdoms. As the duke had done nothing wrong, he acted like how a father should have acted when someone tried to kidnap his daughter and the emperor was like 'he bullied my son, so I am going to kidnap his sister' which was too much embarrassing for him.
So in the end the Emperor called for a truce and both of them declared it was all a joke to which no one bought but also no one said anything. It was not their problem, so what's the point? From that relationship with the emperor and the duke started weakening. They didn't meet as often and also smiled less when looking at each other. Still, everything was fine now.
As it happened over a year ago, many people even forgot about it as fresh stories amongst nobility kept popping up. But now that idiot Wilhelm had already started his long pursuit once again. It started by sending many valuable gifts, then dresses, then jewellery, then some love letters and even a majestic white horse. Like what the fuck was she supposed to do with it? So she and her brother named it Elizabeth, which was only known between them.
Obviously, she didn't answer any of that cause she was not interested in him and those were getting too bizarre with each passing day. She thought by not answers from her, he would get bored and lose interest but he didn't. It seriously was irritating, but now he was coming here for what...?

For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!
