Emperor Emeron was staring at the letter in his hands, gripping it so tightly it crumbled in his grip, but he still stared at it. He had already read through it, but he was so angry he couldn't focus his anger anywhere else besides the letter.

The contents of the letter were about how his second son, Prince Cecil, was protecting his youngest son, Prince Zachary, from the Crown Prince. It hinted that he needed to investigate Prince Levi but he already did.

On the desk was a file containing all the information on Prince Levi from Number 1. He had already read the contents and was so angry that he needed to take deep breaths or his blood pressure would be the end of him.

He had kept Prince Cecil's letter, reading it over and over again, but when the report had finally come to him, everything made sense! It all made sense.

That man was not his son! His son, his son! Where in the world was his real first child?!

Prince Levi was holding a sword in his hands as he sliced his desk in two. His face was red from anger as he looked for more things to chop in half to appease his anger. Nothing in his office was spared. Even the poor oil lamp by his desk was broken in half.

"Why, why, WHY?! WHY IS NOTHING GOING MY WAY?" Prince Levi screamed at the top of his lungs as he kicked down the door and stormed out.

His personal butler, Freddy, was running after him and trying to calm him down, but Prince Levi was furious. He couldn't hear anything else around him besides his heart beating quickly. His vision was turning red as he looked for objects around the palace for him to cut down. Even a poor, innocent, maid had lost her life in his rampage.

"Your Highness, please, you must stop!" Freddy ran behind him, trying to keep up. This butler was a man from the Liyas Empire. He had followed Prince Levi since the day of his birth and was his closest confidante. He also was the one who made it possible to communicate with the Liyas Empire.

"If you kill anyone else, you will get lectured by the Emperor. He may even try to investigate you because you are acting the way his father has!"

"Stop ordering me around, stop lecturing me! I'm going to go over to Cecil and chop him down myself. Then I will take down Zachary and kill the Emperor! No one can stop me. I will be the Emperor!" Prince Levi was going insane. He was so clouded by anger that he was going to ruin the plan that the Liyas Empire had been planning for decades!

"If you do that you will be exposed, Your Highness! If you were to die, the Liyas Empire won't be able to take over Uferna!"

The Liyas Empire looked upon Prince Levi highly because of his looks. The Liyas Empire knew that the current Emperor was a powerful man that could hold them back from conquering the world. If Prince Levi messes up, they will be stopped, even pushed back from their world domination. They were close, so very close to completing their goal.

Prince Levi stopped in his tracks before finally taking a deep breath. "Yes, you are right. My purpose here is much bigger than these commoners who haven't even noticed who their son and brother really is."

He was calmer but he couldn't help but pace around the room. "Prince Cecil is the only thing standing in my way right now."

Prince Levi had always hated that "younger brother" of his who was better at everything than him. Prince Cecil didn't have to put much effort but most of the nobles were on his side while he, Prince Levi, barely had anyone. Only those who wanted to indulge in wealth and lust saw the benefits of supporting him.
