Mr. Dimitri's Toy
Alaric the Obedient

This is a bad year for the Azov Kingdom. Many events occurred, ranging from the war on Sardinia Beach, the death of King Azov XVIII, and the death of Prince Dixon who will soon be crowned.

Who will be king now? If he raises the son of Empress Juliana who is still 9 years old, then he will only bear the status of king. The one who leads is the Empress.

“Omong empty! Our time is led by a woman?”

“I disagree, but who else can be appointed king? We all know Azov doesn't have a sister.”

“What a pussy. Who would have thought he would die at such a young age.”

Buzz after buzz was heard throughout Azov Palace as the God of Death stepped into the parlor of empress Juliana.

A bodyguard saluted and opened the door for her. “God of Death has come, Empress.”

Chloe was a little surprised when she saw Edric was also in the room. Edric stood behind the sofa with both hands on his back, slightly lowered his head to talk to Empress Juliana who was sitting on the sofa.

They're aware of Chloe's presence. Edric cleared his throat and straightened his body, while Empress Juliana put down her teacup with elegant fingers and stood up to face Chloe.

Chloe knelt on the floor. “Good afternoon, Empress Juliana, Mr. Suarez.”

“Good day, God of Death, or I should call you Chloe just now.”

Chloe lifted her head. His face was covered in a helmet so they could not see that he was shocked.

“Anspect?” He asked confused.

“I know who you really are. Stand up and you won't have to kneel again if not in public.”

Chloe stood up and took off her helmet. “Edric told you?” he asked while looking at the confused Edric.

Why did you reveal my true identity to Empress Juliana? They also seem very familiar. I didn't know that Papa and Empress Juliana turned out to be this close.

“Chloe, from now on you do not need to disguise anymore. At Prince Greyson's coronation, he will also announce your true identity.”

“On that... Actually I plan to resign. But suddenly something like this happened. Sorry, Empress Juliana. Looks like you have to find a replacement for the new war commander.”

Empress Juliana looked disappointed. “And you are very good at fighting. Then I will lose one person I can trust by my side.”

Then he looked at Edric. “How is it, Edric?”

The empress also called papa by her first name?

“Chloe, are you really sure you want to give up all your achievements as a war commander? Papa knows you have Dwayne now, but that's no barrier to pursuing your dreams.”

Since there seemed to be no more secrets before Empress Juliana, Chloe dared to say, “Papa. I became a war commander because I wanted to please you. Actually I have no ambition to be the one to organize tens of thousands of soldiers under him. I've decided to choose my little family.”

Edric nodded in understanding. “Good. Papa also see you can move on from the past and forgive Dimitri.”

Chloe felt uncomfortable talking about this in front of strangers, so she switched the conversation. “Is there anyone in the mind of the Empress who might be suitable to become a war commander in my place?”

Empress Juliana seemed to think for a moment. “I have a cousin named Cedric who has been training hard for years to be appointed commander of the war. However, King Azov does not like it.”

“Take it easy, Juliana. You are free to choose a new commander. I can see the potential in the young man,” Edric said in a soothing tone.

Empress Juliana was still in doubt. “I hope you can guide her to be like you, Chloe.”

Chloe remembered her husband and son at home. They did live together, but it was Edric's house. Guiding a disciple meant that Chloe had to be bound to the Azov Kingdom.

“Sorry, empress. I can't seem to stay here for long because I have to come back to my husband's kingdom. But there is Argo who will patiently lead Cedric to become even greater. I exist now because of his services.”

Empress Juliana smiled. “Alright, thank you, Chloe. I pray for your happiness.”

After talking for a while, Chloe said goodbye to him. He thought his papa was coming out, but Edric was flinching.

“Oh, fine. I'll take you out of the castle.”

Edric and Empress Juliana threw smiles at each other. Chloe felt something strange about the two of them.

When they came out, Chloe dared to ask.

“Papa, why did you tell the empress who is the true God of Death?”

“Empress Juliana is not like her husband. If King Azov was ashamed to have a female war commander, Juliana was the opposite. She feels proud that a woman can take on such an important role as you.”

“Many opposed to Prince Greyson were made kings. How old is he? 8 Or 9 years. Of course many suspect that this kingdom will be controlled by the empress.”

“Yes, 9 years. After she turns 17, Empress Juliana will step down from her duties. He was ready to guide his son into a wise king, Chloe.”

“Looks like papa really believes in him,” Chloe quipped.

“My observation is not wrong, dear. Just look at you. Papa is sure you will become a great war commander, and is attested to all your achievements in the battlefield.”

They've walked out of the castle. Edric stop. “Regarding your decision to go to Rudolmuv Kingdom, papa is not against. As long as you are happy, you are supportive. I still have something to talk to Juliana about. You go home first yes.”

“Alright, papa don't come home last night. Dwayne has not seen his grandfather's nose for days.”

Edric laughing. “Say to Dwayne, this grandfather will try to quickly go home before he falls asleep.”

Chloe can't wait to go home and relax with her little family. A few hours outside felt like passing a few days without them by his side. This convinced him to come back to Dimitri's house. Ah, his house is now.

At the intersection towards the Edric residence, someone he knew already smiled looking at him. He waved his hand from a distance. Chloe took her time and was in no hurry.

He stopped his horse just a few steps ahead of the man.

“Alaric.”

“Hai, Chloe. It was cold and cold as usual. I heard you're married to Dimitri? Congratulations, even if you didn't invite me.”

“Only small celebrated party. What's the need here? Isn't your job done?”

Chloe runs Stormy slowly, Alaric follows her.

“There are new tasks for me so I came.” He said with a cheerful tone.

“Desorted alaric. What's your new assignment?” ask Chloe cynically.

“Magnus already knows about you and also the little boy who is in the Edric residence now.”

Chloe stopped her horse, waiting for what Alaric would say next.

“Yes, she already knows that you have given birth to a son named Dwayne.”
