Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 129 – HIDDEN DAMIAN FEELINGS
That morning Helios took a leisurely stroll around the main palace garden along with his usual entourage, Albert and Yasmin.
pluk, pluk, pluk.
Helios immediately found himself curious about the sound of small stones being thrown towards the lake.
There was no longer a child who could play around in that palace that was different back then, where perhaps Helios would immediately think that it was Leon or little Ilene who was bored again. Curious, Helios turned his steps down the lake.
-srererek.
Hearing the rustling sound of leaves caused by the arrival of Helios, the stone thrower on the lake turned in that direction.
“Dik Helios?”
“Kak Vierra apparently. What is Brother doing here?”
“Ah, I was just a little stuffy after receiving a letter from Ayahanda.”
“Letter from Ayahanda?”
“Ah, I mean Andrew's father. The letter is nothing either. Only recently have I been so tired for no reason. If this continues, I could be a fat aunt at my age who just stepped on 22 this year.”
“Do I need to check, Brother Vierra? Gini-gini, I'm also a medician.”
Vierra shook her head at Helios' help.
“No need, Dik Helios. I'm not that tight either.”
Helios looked at Vierra.
Helios was well aware of what made the fairy woman who was once serial is now suddenly suddenly often moody.
His position in the palace.
The constitution of the palace stipulates that anyone who has become the wife of the royal family, should not divorce his spouse. If they are the ones being divorced by the royal family, there is no other way to wait for them than to devote the rest of their lives forever in the holy temple.
In Vierra's case, she was not divorced by Tius Star Meglovia, only she had been left for dead by her husband without giving birth to any offspring.
That is what makes Vierra's position ambiguous at the palace.
With the death of Tius star Meglovia without bequeathing a single child, Vierra could be said to be an outsider to the royal family. But that does not mean that she can return to her residence in the Peronaz Family since she has been a property of the royal family as the wife of Tius star Meglovia.
If Vierra wanted to get out of the palace, she could only settle in the sacred temple for good. Vierra is well aware of that. Once a new king or queen is elected, she is immediately driven to the holy temple.
That's what makes Vierra now very sad because she understands very well that after she became ‘the prisoner’ inside the sacred temple, she will no longer be able to set foot into the outside world again, locked up in that sacred prison forever as a holy woman who will never again give her love after the death of her husband.
Helios condemned the constitution of the kingdom, but he also had no power to change it. Even if Helios was elected king, it would still be something he could not change alone since his legal rank was one of the seven levels of the royal constitution, the highest level.
It can only be revamped by the king with submissions requiring recognition from a minimum of 1/3 of the royal senate members as well as requiring the approval of the chief of the holy shrine. Not until there, although it was finally approved at that time, the application can only be implemented 50 years later with the minimum condition of the change of the king.
And it finally can be applied if for 50 years of that time, no longer from the descendants of the king or the nobles who protested against it.
Such is the great constitution of the highest strata in the kingdom, the first level strata, the. Not once has it been revamped since its creation 500 years ago. That's how the kingdom assesses the high regard of a person entering the royal family, whose status is as important as the right of a sacred temple in the kingdom and the conditions of being entitled to be a king for members of the royal family.
That rule was even much higher in value than just a rule of respect for nobles who were only on the second strata.
That is why when Helios realized Vierra's grief, she became sorry for him. Helios was sad, but she was also powerless to do anything.
He could only be determined to at least protect Vierra as long as Vierra was still under the auspices of the royal family. As time went on, Helios was confident that he would be able to come up with a solution to save his brother-in-law's future.

In the midst of busyness Helios took care of various documents in helping to ease the work of her mother, Theia, who gained weight after being left by her father, who was left behind, Helios found a unique finding stacked between the rows of documents.
It was a letter moving Damian's duty back to the royal capital. Helios felt this strange since Damian's status had been very high in Painfinn City where he had become the vice-head of the knights there.
Is this a matter of homesick because Damian was originally born in the capital? But why is it only now that for three years he has been at home in his position? However, there was something suspicious that Helios could smell.
Damian's transfer of duty too coincides with the death of his older brother, Tius star Meglovia, where his abandoned wife, Vierra, has now been widowed.
In addition, there was a rumor circulating among the soldiers that Damian had been involved in a relationship with Vierra. Of course Helios has confirmed it is mistaken for his familiar power. However, even though Vierra does not put a sense in Damian, it does not rule out the opposite will happen.
Helios suspected that Damian's transfer back to the capital had something to do with wanting to fight for his love for Vierra.
Feeling the need to ascertain his curiosity immediately, Helios thoughtlessly rushed to find Damian.
Eventually Helios coincidentally found him in one of the soldier's training barracks.
“Hai, Damian. You've returned to the capital apparently. Why not tell me? If I knew, I would definitely help you gain a better place in the palace.”
Damian, who at that time was only wearing a pants suit so that his burly chest muscles were exposed along with the sweat dripping from him, then turned to look at Helios who greeted him.
Damian hurriedly threw out his sword and bent his body low to greet Helios.
“My respect to the brilliant stellar companion, His Highness Prince Helios de Meglovia.”
“Hahahahaha. Don't be that formal, Damian, since only the two of us just happen to be in this place.”
“Ah.”
Damian looks so nervous in front of Helios, even though it is all just acting.
Helios immediately grabbed Damian's shoulder while bowing to calm him down in a panic. Helios's eyes suddenly turned very sinister.
Helios************* for a moment Damian's shoulder before the prince finally said, “So, why did you finally decide to move to the capital, Damian? Is this for the sake of seeing Brother Vierra?”
Helios decided to go to the point.
“Ah, there seems to be nothing I can hide from His Highness the Prince. That's right, Your Highness the Prince. I came here for Miss Vierra.
Helios was surprised by Damian's unexpected honest confession. He did not seem to be trying to hide that at all. But later, Helios realized that Damian was, after all, just a commoner and probably did not know the royal law well.
“Damian, listen. Did you know that the ex-wife or husband of the royal family can no longer marry someone else if divorced or left dead by his partner?”
Hearing Helios' explanation, Damian immediately shook his hand tightly.
“Ah, if it is, I also know, Your Highness the Prince. I mean not so!”
“So what do you mean?”
At Damian's reply, Helios looked puzzled. Damian explained it to Helios.
“I just thought that Miss Vierra is fragile right now and needs an entertainment friend. So I'm here so I can at least run off. After all, Miss Vierra is my precious best friend. He was willing to be friends with me, who was only a gardener's son. Nothing can beat Miss Vierra's kindness. That's why I also want to be useful for him when he needs it.”
“So apparently.”
Upon hearing Damian's reply, Helios' expression softened again.
Helios said sincerely,
“If you love Sister Vierra and fight for her and Sister Vierra reciprocates your love, I will say nothing. I will help you how you eloped to leave this kingdom. However,..”
That gentle expression, instantly turned back sinister.
“If you do a little unnecessary thing and then hurt Sister Vierra, then I will not hesitate with my own hands to kill you. Take it well, Damian.”
Hearing the threat of Helios, all my feathers Damian was goosebumps.
