"Lyon, Javier and I will get married."Â
The news struck Yunyu like a thunder on clear skies. He was unprepared for that reveal. Because General Swordheart said that he would report his finding about Javier's golden circle with Javier's parents. If General Swordheart met Lyon and Layla's parents and they found out that Javier had two marriage proposals, and both proposals came from the twins'¦
Yunyu didn't want to think about the possibility himself. Because he was afraid that the worst could happen.Â
[Are Layla and Lyon's parents already dead set about marrying Layla and Javier?]
[Pupa: Probably. The twins' parents are very good friends of Javier's parents, especially between Great King Tuskan and Master Aster Di Arlingdon. The marriage proposal has been quite the talk in Golden Camellia. The current Emperor, Emperor Gardenia II, is Javier's adapted brother and already accepted the proposal, alongside his ministers.]
[Is this more of political marriage?]
[Pupa: More or less. But you see, people in Golden Camellia and Great Arctyr think that Javier and Layla are both in love, and make a great couple. They are an official couple goal of both countries. So their marriage would bring two countries closer together. The ministers of both countries have come to that agreement and the documents about the marriage have been signed. The only thing that's left is preparing the marriage ceremony.]
[What about Lyon then?]
[Pupa: People in Great Arctyr always see Lyon as a good, handsome Crown Prince. They adore and worship him so much. But Crown Prince Lyon has always been single and alone. Though, the rumor about Lyon and Javier are in animosity have been spreading around.]
[This'¦ Why does it feel like the world has gotten harder and harder? This world is just a simple royal romance setting, but this one is really tricky! I would rather let you put me in Ling Kai situation once more rather than threading in this mess!]
[Pupa: This world is not hard, just very tricky. You have been missing one important piece that affects the Breakmeter the whole time, but I can't tell you.]
[What? Why can't you tell me?! I can complete this world faster if you can help!]
[Pupa: Because you need to learn. And also, if you complete it too fast, this novel will be too short. Please work hard.]
Yunyu was aggrieved with Pupa who was messing around with him. What important piece he missed? He already unlocked the hidden plot and knew about everything. He had nothing left to discover. But he had an idea, well, an emergency plan.Â
Lyon tried to pacify Layla by hugging her gently, and said, "Do not act rashly. We are in this together, Layla."
Layla hugged her brother back, but she didn't have much optimism in her, "I don't want to shame the Great Arctyr. If I have to run away and become a commoner, as long as Great Arctyr can retain its dignity'¦"
"No, think about it this way," Lyon tried to knock some sense in Layla, it was clear that Layla was unstable now, "If you run away like this while our parents are in Golden Camellia, it will bring big shame to Great Arctyr! They are discussing your marriage! What would they think if the soon to be bride eloped with another man, even go as far as getting pregnant?"
Lyon's words seemed to have knocked some sense into Layla's head. He was right, she was going to be a bride for Javier soon, but if she eloped with her loved one because of pregnancy'¦
"W'What should I do, brother?" Layla asked desperately. She was in a tight spot right now. All she could think was to preserve the baby no matter what, even if her parents and Aunt Mariette wanted it dead, "Lyon, please help me. I don't know what to do!"
Lyon felt guilty that Layla was in this position. True, Layla made a mistake, but it was also him who pushed Layla to Javier, because he was too cowardly to admit his feelings for Javier.Â
He had a plan, although the future for this plan was unsure, but this was the only thing that could work for both of them.
"Layla, Javier will leave Great Arctyr tomorrow morning. I will board the ship with him and meet Father and Mother in Golden Camellia. I will try to explain everything as a mediator and calm the situation down."
"B'But, what about me?" Layla asked.
"I want you to stay calm and stay here. Do not meet Duke of Bertin yet until I've returned, and do not try to elope, it will cause a huge ruckus. You just need to take care of the baby, trust me, okay?"Â
Layla felt that Lyon was doing the impossible. What would he do when facing Emperor Gardenia II and all Golden Camellia's ministers? He would also face their parents and Uncle Aster and Rama to explain the situation about her pregnancy.Â
But Lyon had always been a smart and reliable man. So, all Layla could do was to trust him and wait for the news, no matter what kind of news was that.
"I trust you, brother, please help me," Layla said.Â
***
Lyon immediately sent an envoy to General Swordheart about him going on aboard the ship to Golden Camellia. He didn't want to attract so much attention from the people about his departure, so he didn't order someone to set a ship for himself.Â
[Pupa: Do you know what you will do in Golden Camellia? That country is far bloodier and more dangerous than the Great Arctyr. It is well known for its name across the continent as the bloody garden country. Because it has beautiful cities and many breathtaking flower gardens, but there are so many deceit, bloodshed and betrayal inside.]
[I still don't know what I will do there, it's too uncertain. But Layla's baby is at risk. She might be under extreme stress because of the situation. That Breakmeter or Fatemeter can be cast aside, but the livelihood of Layla and her baby is the most important right now.]
[I will save that baby.]
Pupa observed Yunyu who was busy writing letters about his sudden departure to Golden Camellia for the minister, it seemed that this guy still retained his good heart, no matter how shameless and reckless he was.
Pupa nodded and sent an update about secret information to the headquarters.Â
***
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ Lyon's carriage headed to the harbour in the early morning. Lyon saw General Swordheart waiting for him in the harbour. Lyon opened the carriage door and the general bowed his head, "Are you sure about this, Your Highness Crown Prince?"
"Yes, let's go to Golden Camellia. I have to meet Uncle Aster and Rama with Javier."Â
General Irion Swordheart thought that Crown Prince Lyon was in love with Prince Javier so much that he wanted to meet Master Aster and Rama directly for marriage with Prince Javier.Â
The ship sailed in the early morning. Lyon was given his own room, it was a luxurious room indeed, but there was a connecting door that connected his room with the next room.
"Who sleeps in the next room?" Lyon asked.
"That would be Prince Javier himself, Your Highness," General Swordheart said with a simple smile on his face, "He is still sleeping, but sometimes, he might need a bit of your gentleness, or else, he would go berserk."
"B'Berserk?!" Lyon imagined the simple Javier went rampant with his amazing power. He gulped nervously.
"Yes, at first, I was going to give him a very strong sleeping potion. But since you are here, please take care of our prince while he's sleeping," the general said. To be truthful, he wasn't even sure if a strong sleeping potion would be able to hold Prince Javier who went berserk, but since his golden circle was in the ship, then everything would be safe.Â
[Pupa, what would happen if Javier went berserk?]
[Pupa: Titanic 2.0. You should prepare a stronger door for Jack and Rose in this ship.]
Yunyu gulped. He should have taken another ship instead.Â
Everything went well, he was informed that they would reach Golden Camellia in three days since the new route cut their travel distance. Nothing happened on the first night, Javier showed no sign of movement, but his breath was steady and he was in deep sleep.
However, on the second night, Lyon heard a loud groan from Javier's room. It was already late at night, Lyon was in his thin pyjama as he opened the connecting door.
He checked on Javier who was in deep sleep, but there was a faint blush on his face, he also sweated a lot. Lyon took a small towel and carefully wiped Javier's face. He sat on the bed while wiping Javier's neck when he felt a strong arm suddenly circled on his waist and pulled him.
"Wha!" Lyon was pulled in by Javier. He was lying on top of Javier's body. Lyon checked on Javier, but it seemed that this big dumbo was still in his deep sleep.
He tried to get up from the bed, but he felt the arm around his waist tightened. Lyon jolted when he felt a big, hard cock rubbing between his thigh.
"Big brother Lyon'¦"
