The Conquerors Path

Austin POV:

'Well that went well'

I thought as I walked out of the throne room with Grace by my side, while things had looked chaotic everything was within my palm, the duke and the prime of wealth were people that had secretly planned the demise of Austin's father and now they had paid the price a very heavy one, one that will bring them down.

With this I have finally gotten rid of all the thoughts that had existed of him, now my family will be able to truly move forward, one of my main goals was accomplished and the other one was fucking up Claus too had taken place very well, while the duke and the prime of wealth did order the death, they were manipulated into it by Claus!

But the proof for it is extinct but that is not my worry, according to everyone the killer of 'my' father is dead, hence everything is solved, so there's not much grudge between me and Claus but fate has it wills I will be going against him after all his one and only Empress will be having an affair with me, whether I want it or not we will not be on the same side.

My plan for this had begun a month ago, everything was done perfectly, my mother and her friends had left the academy going for their 'vacation' trip, thus 'coinciding' with when the problems began, if anybody asked they were just lucky to be visiting the capital at the time, I needed my mother's help to get in contact with my grandfather and for Grace to pull attention to herself.

Then came my grandfather, with his help, killing the prey was pretty easy, of course, there was the help of a certain Darknight but Olivia doesn't know about it, as I said I have been planning this for some time, the people close to them, their schedule, their weakness I had gone through everything, it was the arrangement of all it that resulted in my victory, of course, killing people of such status is not easy, there was something required for it.

Olivia's death.

Just the second I had shown Olivia's body I was sure that the information regarding it might have reached the intending parties, thus lowering their guard and rising their arrogance, Olivia was dead, even if the truth was out who will blame them? thus during those times the duke and the prime of wealth got lax, throwing out all their plans and becoming sloppy.

It was when I struck, taking everything down but Olivia's death had another aim that I wanted, it was to create a friction between her and her father, how could she now have good feelings for her father when he clearly knew the killers but protected them? in her mind the image of a more cruel Claus has formed.

Of course, as a ruler, such thinking is required but it differs from ruler to ruler, some will do everything for their Empire, some will be willing to lose all they have for their family, and they might not be the perfect ruler but they are more human, anyhow, in the end, the friction was formed and I will keep widening the gap between the father and daughter.

The orb I threw was all the dirty deeds I picked up on the group, plus I had also added the last-minute images I got, the images of Duke and the prime talking and enjoying about their success of killing Olivia, actually, I had more evidence but it would be extremely suspicious if I brought up pre-planned evidence, hence adding another use of Olivia's death.

The corruption was a surprise though expected, with Grace's help I had gotten Bruce's assistance, if not things might not have ended so smoothly, while Claus was more ruthless, the old man Bruce was more into understanding, he knew about all what the Duke and the prime had done, especially how they caused 'my' fathers death, hence he stood beside us.

Of course, that was only after I made an oath that I won't go against the Empire and I was happy to do so why would I when the future Empress is my woman? I know her and she's the type of ruler that cares more about family, well she has to realize that yet though.

It was a bit hard to put Olivia into this plan but I easily convinced her when I was willing to use my 'favor' with the Darknight to order the death of the duke and the prime, after all my 'yandere' side won't let them go out alive after almost hurting my girl, seeing my touching yet 'possessive' side of mine as I was even willing to go against the Empire, Olivia joined my plan.

Hence things flowed smoothly, many were hurt but that's just how things are and I have long since left behind my guilt, 

"Damn it! I didn't think Claus would ask for a memory search, so this was his true face?"

Grace spoke with anger, well I also did make a friction between Grace and Claus, that was another plus, 

"Calm did, aren't you happy mother? everything is done"

I said with a smile, making Grace calm down, her eyes turned towards me as she smiled, because we were in the open we couldn't be too affectionate, 

"I am, now I can put down the mantle of revenge"

Just as she had finished saying so the mana around her started to spike up, loads of mana kept flowing into her body,

"A breakthrough?"

I asked and she nodded her head, 

"You can go on mother, I have a thing to deal with"

A breakthrough is very important and she has to be careful while she does it, Grace didn't say anything as she rushed to a chamber for her breakthrough, while I smiled, finally, she would move forward in strength, a part of my father was left in her, not of love but of revenge and now it had an end.

I was extremely careful when I spend time with her, I have to desire to be 'my' father's replacement and I am sure that her love for me is for me, chuckling I started to walk to a specific part of the wall and as I did I passed through it! opening my eyes I was in a very familiar room, I wasn't even given more time before which a body jumped to me hugging me tight,

"I missed you"

She said as her lips touched with mine, I held her body as I kissed her back, biting and sucking on her lips as I took in her taste, my hands started to roam her body, reaching her ass cupping them both,

"Um~❤️"

She moaned through her mouth but she didn't relent from the kiss as it got more violent, her hands gripping onto me, her body sticking in closer, while our tongues battled each other, our saliva even started to fall from our lips

SLURP~SLURP~SLURP

The sound of our heavy kissing filled the room, soon a minute later we separated from the kiss, one of my hands still holding her juicy ass, groping it as my other hands held her face, 

"I missed you too, Lora"

I spoke, looking deep into those blue eyes.
