The Emperor Jurass of Cloud Empire did not take the news well and thought that Prince Anders of Sky Empire screwed him behind his back and their agreement was just a sham! One thing leads to another until everything is now a real bloody war between two empires!

Prince Anders started a fake fight but his Brother Emperor turned it into a real bloody war! Now that everything escalated dangerously, Emperor Andrew ordered him to be the hero who saves the day and fight to the death for Sky Empire!

Fuck him!

Prince Anders cursed his brother in his mind! He hated his brother so much but he cannot do against him now...

"Do not worry about me. I promise to do my best and go back to you safely." Prince Anders coaxed Beatrix that nothing bad will happen to him.

Nothing can separate us... No one can separate us!!!

Prince Anders thought so he did another drastic and dangerous method to ensure that he could surely go back to her on that night. He was forced to go to the battlefield and leave his beloved wife waiting in the capital...

After Prince Anders left the capital for the battlefield, Emperor Andrew forced Beatrix to enter the imperial palace stating that it is for her protection. Many people saw Emperor Andrew personally carrying her weak figure in his arms and assigned her to stay in the Empress' courtyard! As expected, this event gave rise to several nasty rumors about the messy and bizarre love triangle between Emperor Andrew, Prince Anders, and Princess Beatrix! These rumors secretly spread to the whole imperial palace, noble families, and even to the commoners!

There are several versions:

Many people said that Emperor Andrew and Princess Beatrix had a secret affair long ago so Emperor Andrew send Prince Anders away to continue their long-time affair unhindered!

Other people spread that Princess Beatrix chose to marry Prince Anders because she thought that the late Emperor will give the throne to the favored Prince Anders but since it did not happen, she seduced the current Emperor while her husband is away!

Another group stated that it was Emperor Andrew and Princess Beatrix who loved each other deeply but she was forced by the late Emperor to marry his favorite son, Prince Anders. Now that the late Emperor passed away and Prince Anders is away, the original lovers could not stop their forbidden love anymore!

Several other individuals believed that Emperor Andrew is lusting for Princess Beatrix for a very long time so he sent his Imperial Brother away and convinced her to leave her husband and enter his harem to be the next Empress!

There are several versions or combinations of these nasty rumors and they became the greatest form of entertainment and stress reliever for most people of Sky Empire in this dangerous situation. Only a few people know the whole truth...

The first person is very amused while looking at the whole situation or more like, excitedly looking at the uncomfortable person living near his courtyard.

The second person is still traveling and did not yet know the bizarre situation in the capital.

The third person is very uncomfortable and felt caught in between the current messy situation.

Emperor Andrew caught his brother's spies in the palace so he encouraged them or more like, forced them to send a letter to their master stating the truth literally...

"Write exactly these words to my Imperial Brother... " He smirked to the first spy and continued. "Princess Beatrix entered the Imperial Palace."

Emperor Andrew glanced to the second spy next and spoke.

"And you... write these words to my Imperial Brother..." He smiled coldly and stated. "Her Highness is currently staying in the Empress' courtyard."

The two spies had a conflicted reaction which Emperor Andrew immediately understood.

"What? Is it not the truth that Beatrix is now in the imperial palace and currently staying in the Empress' courtyard? You are just telling the truth..." He indifferently explained.

The two spies felt the cold all over their bodies and fearfully complied. They realized that the person in front of them is truly dangerous, cruel, and twisted! What they wrote is the truth but once their master read the two messages, he might have a different interpretation... They already felt sorry for their master!

Emperor Andrew smiled coldly after he assigned people to deliver the messages to his brother.

Imperial Brother, you will soon feel the pain that I felt! You will go through the same hell that I experienced while away from her! Alone and lonely... You cannot let go... cannot stop... cannot die... Always fighting to stay alive! You cannot accept that you are very miserable while your Imperial Brother is happy and safe beside her... An eye for an eye! A tooth for a tooth
