Our Throne

"I don't have any time for your nonsense. Just listen to me" Clyde said dismissively

It was not like this is his first time having a change of personality that Ryden has witnessed. Why is this man still amused every time that he saw it?

"Fine, fine. What's the plan this time?" Ryden obeyed obediently. Since he managed to live longer in this world than he originally does thanks to Clyde, he was more than willing to follow his wife

In any case, they can now be considered comrades in arms. The two of them has to team up to ensure their safety

"We have to clean the servants as soon as possible. We wouldn't be able to freely move when a lot of them are spies" Clyde started and the Prince nodded his head

"However, if we mindlessly fired them, that would make the Empress and other people against us think that we are starting to make moves and amass power. With our present state, we cannot afford to show even the slightest bit of ambition"

"But fret not, with our actions this past week, we have a perfectly clean way to fife the spy servants that we have along with those that are completely looking down on us!" Clyde said boastfully

He has an air of confidence and he was also clearly proud of himself

He deliberately elaborates the situation to make himself look as intelligent as possible

Unfortunately, his husband is not the type of person that likes thinking about anything complicated or even thinking at all

In his eyes, Clyde is awesome, awesome, and awesome. However, he cannot completely comprehend just how awesome the omega was

"Alright, alright, cut to the chase. Just tell me what I have to do and say. I only need the script" Ryden said dismissively

He was already used to having script rather than completely understanding the situation

Clyde should just be direct to him and tell him what he has to say and do

That filled the boastful omega with anger. He felt like he just explained a very complicated math equation that only he knows how to solve into a mentally retarded man that can't understand just how awesome he was

However, although Clyde has an urge to punch his husband to death, he still refrained from doing so as enacting their plan is still the priority for now

Garden

The gentle and warm sunlight landed on the ground. The weather today was quite good as the sun wasn't too hot

The temperature was just warm enough for people to feel comfortable

Although the Garden in Ryden's Manor would pale in comparison to any other Imperial Prince out there, it was still better compared to lower Nobles

Even if the servants want to embezzle money and do their work half-heartedly they cannot destroy the reputation of the Imperial Family

If a Prince's Manor looks rundown to the point that even poorer Nobles wouldn't have such homes, who would bear the Emperor's wrath?

For the Emperor, the face and reputation of the Imperial Family was very important

Sure, there can be Nobles and Royals that look down and even bully an illegitimate Prince

However, they can only do that in a way and manner that would not make the Imperial House lose face

That is the case for the people in High Society, what more for these mere servants?

"Sigh ... this day is really peaceful. I hope that all the days ahead was this peaceful with my wife" Ryden sweetly said causing the 'maiden' to blush a bit

"II also wish for that" he answered meekly but their interaction didn't escape the eyes and ears of the servants that accompanied them

The two strolled around the garden for some time while the Prince was teasing his wife until they decided to have their afternoon tea

The table was already prepared with a variety of deserts placed on top of it. However, although the deserts are placed, it clearly wasn't placed properly

Some looks messy and some were even missing a piece as if someone took a bite from them

If this was the normal Ryden, he would just ignore it. He wouldn't make a big fuss about it

After all, he was already used to it. It's not like he had a peaceful life while he was still living in the Imperial Castle or even after he was sent to the battlefield and received his own manor

Everywhere Ryden goes, there are people that would deliberately make things harder for him as if some people are just born to be a nuisance for him

Ryden has long become numb to such treatment. Not to mention, after showing his might, while staying at the borders with his blood comrades, his life although dangerous becomes better

He was acknowledged for his power and he also gained some loyal followers. Unfortunately, most of them are just brutes like Ryden with not much intelligence

On the rare occasion that Ryden did stay at his own Manor, the servants would just serve him half-heartedly. It was a normal occurrence for him already but that has to change starting from now

Even without Clyde giving the cue to his husband, Ryden already knows what to do

After seeing the condition of the deserts he had the servants prepare for his precious wife, Ryden's face instantly darkened as if it was covered with thick dark clouds

"What the hell is this bullshit ?!" Ryden raged while slamming his fist into the table. If he didn't control his strength, the table would have been completely broken

However, although some of the plates of deserts fell down along with their content, the table is still standing like before

The servants that didn't expect this sudden outburst flinched as they stared at Ryden in horror

The love fool aura he has earlier has completely vanished and was instead replaced by a dangerous and suffocating one. It was as if he was on the battlefield facing his enemies

None of the servants were willing to step out and ask what is wrong in fear that they would be the ones to bear the wrath of the beast

"I ordered to prepare the best deserts for my wife but what did we get?! A plate with only a single piece of cookie, a chocolate cake that someone already bit on, macaroons that are so disorderly some of them already fell into the table. Is this how you all treat my consort?! Are you all looking down on us?! " Ryden questioned angrily

The more he speaks, the angrier he becomes and the servants shuddered. Due to the immense fear, none of them speak

However, that only seems to have fueled his rage as he pointed at one of the servants

"You, go call the maids that prepared these deserts. If you call one less person, I would hold you accountable in contempt for a Royal. The punishment for that I believe is already something that you know!" Ryden said threateningly and the maid scurried away to do the Prince's bidding

"Y-Your Highness, t-there is no need to punish anyone" the white lotus Clyde spoke that causes the maids to feel grateful

If they were to be sentenced to the crime of contempt for Royals, death was already almost certain!

"Wife, let your husband take care of this. You are the precious jewel that Father Emperor has personally given to me, how could I let these servants bully you? Wouldn't I earn His Majesty's anger if I let the servants bully a Royal?" Ryden's voice and expression instantly softened while speaking at his wife but as soon as he turn to look at the maids again, the ferocious beast once again returned

In just a few minutes, the maid from before returned along with three more maids

Those three already had an invisible knife at their necks but they didn't know that. They still have that arrogant expression on their faces

Clearly, they were looking down at the Imperial Prince that they are serving

Seeing that, Ryden's countenance turned even colder and darker

"Kneel!" He ordered angrily and the three maids were taken aback

Kneel? Them? What's happening? The Prince never gave such an order before

In fact, Ryden is even polite to the maids. Also, he is not used to them serving him as he prefers to do something by himself

Did the Prince that normally don't act like one really just asked them to kneel?

Due to their surprise, the maids didn't react on time. Seconds pass by the still didn't kneel and the fury in Ryden's heart exploded

"Fucking bitches!" He roared and without mercy, Ryden broke the legs of these maids, forcing them to kneel

"AAAHHHHH !!!" Three painful cries rang in the Garden. The way they screamed would make people think that they just experienced the worst type of pain a person could have ever experience

The other maids watching this scene had their bodies turn cold from fright
