The Bride Of Immortal Crown Prince -
Chapter 55: Warm Hug
Chapter 55: Warm Hug
Aolis knew very well that his sudden visit had made his son angrier and obviously uncomfortable. As the Emperor witnessed, again and again, time did nothing to lessen the past anger his son harbored within him.
Aolis didn’t feel offended by his son’s attitude because he acknowledged it was his fault.
During this time, he just hoped that his son’s attitude would change and their relationship could return to harmony again. But after all these years, his son still hated him. Even at the age of seventeen, he decided to leave the palace.
At that time, he did not agree with his decision. How could he let his only son, the Crown Prince, move out from the palace? But again, his own father Leovaris meddled. He can’t do anything and just allows him to move out.
"Alright, son, Papa will not talk about it again..." He Said. A few seconds later, he smiles, seeing his son’s face is finally starting to soften. "When are you going to visit your mother? She misses you so much. She asked me to bring you to the palace for lunch...."
Leon was stunned to hear it. He completely forgot to pay a visit to his mother. When living in the palace, he never missed lunch with his mother every weekend. The frequency became lesser when he moved out. The last time Leon had lunch with his mother was a week ago. But this week, he wouldn’t do it because he couldn’t leave Allynna.
"Tell mother I will visit her soon..." Leon said. His face is always calm, and his voice is somehow softened whenever he’s talking about his mother.
"Funtastic. Will I ask someone to prepare lunch tomorrow? Your mother would be thrilled if you could come by for lunch tomorrow...." Aolis’s face lit up at the thought of the three of them having lunch together.
Leon tongue tie. He didn’t say the exact date, but his father forced him to come tomorrow? It annoyed him a little bit. But hearing that his mother genuinely missed him made him melt.
Now Leon feels confused. Because, at this time, Allynna hasn’t woken up yet. He decides to see whether Allynna will wake up tomorrow or not. Leon will cancel visiting the palace if she doesn’t. But if she does, then he will visit his mother.
"I’ll try to come... but if I don’t show up, you must back me up...!?"
The Emperor laughed. "My son...how could I lie to your mother? And don’t you want to see her? I know you have not visited her for almost a week?"
Leon’s face turned darker. His father was really trying so hard to get him to come to the palace. What’s more, he used his mother as a stake. The only person he couldn’t obey was his mother.
A few minutes later, Geoffrey entered the room and told Leon their lunch was ready.
Later, the two men sat opposite each other. They ate without speaking. But occasionally, the Emperor looked at his son with happy eyes.
"My son... you are not young anymore. Has there been a woman who has owned your heart and attention?" Aolis said while trying to read his son’s face. But, he found nothing.
His son’s face didn’t show the slightest emotion. He seemed to be talking and chatting with the statue as usual. He was used to his son’s attitude. At this point, just eating together at the same table with his son is enough for him. He could only pray that one day his son’s attitude towards him would change.
Leon paused for a moment when he heard his father’s question with a confused feeling.
Has there been a woman who owns his heart? For this time... no one. But, the girl, Allynna, started to steal his heart. He felt a tremor in his heart as he remembered her.
Instantly in his mind, the image of the girl appeared. Makes him want to see her right away.
"Your Majesty... have you finished your lunch?" Leon wiped his mouth with a napkin as a sign to his father that he was done. After placing the napkin, he continued saying... "I still have an important task to handle, and I believe you are also busy, right?"
Aolis smiles before saying, "Son... how could you try to drive away your Papa from your castle?" He laughed slightly. The Emperor has championed himself from being angered by his son’s cold attitude toward him.
"I want to see my bride. Can you go back to the palace and just leave me alone?" Leon wanted to say that, but he held back. He could only take a deep sigh.
After a few seconds in silence, Leon looked his father in the eyes. He can see there’s a glint of sadness in his father’s eyes, but Leon is calm, trying not to waver...
"Can you not twist my words? I didn’t drive you away. But, I tell the truth... I’m busy now." Leon said calmly.
"Alright, then, Papa will go now. But, you have to keep your promise. We will wait for you tomorrow...." Aolis stood up from his chair, and instantly he stood before his son and gave him a warm hug. After that, he walked out from the dining table and left with his butler.
The Emperor’s butler was standing, waiting for him all this time at the entrance.
Leon froze in place as his father hugged him. He scolded his father in his heart. How could his father hug him without asking his permission? He wanted to be mad at him, but his father was nowhere to be seen when he gained his senses.
"Your Highness... the Emperor has left, long ago." Geoffrey, who saw the confused Crown Prince, immediately told him.
Leon chuckled.
He didn’t expect his father to still be able to control his thoughts. Even though he had tried to shield his mental awareness. But still, his father is too powerful. Leon could only sigh profoundly and vanished from the dining room.
