Prince Andrew happily accepted all the greetings, presents, and celebration. He also narrated his trips to several places by only telling the good and exciting things. He excluded the unpleasant events because he cannot divulge those things without enough proof to pin down the real mastermind. The Emperor made him the Crown Prince of Sky Empire and he took over his duties. Everything goes back to normal...

Beatrix felt contented that everything seems okay... Prince Andrew finally let go of her and moved on with his life. She thought that Prince Andrew may have failed as a husband in her past lifetimes but he was a good Emperor. She wants him to also achieve that dream in this lifetime because she knew that he is born to become Emperor. She saw his restless days and inside her heart, she felt extreme pain and worry...

On the other hand, she also wants to continue her peaceful, happy, and harmonious relationship with her current husband, Prince Anders. She convinced her husband that they should assist his brother in preparation for taking the throne someday... She is thinking that if Prince Andrew saw their kindness and efforts to help him, he will be thankful enough to reward them with the same quality of life once he successfully ascended the throne...

"Anders, we should help your Imperial Brother." Beatrix told her husband seriously while they are roaming the imperial garden.

Prince Anders hugged her tightly and grinned widely as he kissed her neck and inhaled her sweet fragrance.

"Why? Don't you like our free time?" He playfully asked her.

"Yes, I like it but your Imperial Brother is very busy. It is so unfair that he is so busy while we have a lot of free time. As a prince and princess of this empire, we must help him." She cupped his handsome face and looked directly into his eyes to convince him.

He pretended to think deeply before answering. He is just teasing his wife because he can never say "No" to her wishes.

"Okay. But you should pay me." He told her then he kissed her passionately in the garden!

Since the beginning of their marriage, Prince Anders never shied away from public display of affection even inside the imperial palace so she let him kiss her. Anyway, she is kissing her husband, not some random guy!

Prince Andrew wants to relax in the garden at that time but he saw their intimate moment instead... He saw Beatrix's back and his brother's tightly closed eyes and satisfied facial expression while kissing her... clearly savoring the moment!

His eyes became colder and darker while his face remained expressionless. Inside his sleeves, his hands are clenching real hard, fighting the urge to kill someone!

He wants to look away and leave but he became a cold, hard statue there... Watching the married couple being so close and intimate to each other even inside the imperial palace. It seems like they did not care about the other people who might see them.

Prince Anders detected his brother's presence and the extreme killing intent nearby! He opened his eyes to check while kissing Beatrix... He saw his brother's cold and scary face watching them but instead of stopping what they are doing and informing his clueless princess that they are being watched, he closed his eyes again and made their kiss even more intense, more heated, and more passionate...

You could watch all you want, Imperial Brother... Beatrix is my wife now... She is mine now! Only mine!

It was the eunuch beside Prince Andrew who could not take the awkward scene any longer as he could feel that the man beside him is getting more and more dangerous and deadly as time passed by. He braced himself, used a fake cough, and announced Prince Andrew's presence to the married couple.

Beatrix immediately pushed her husband and moved slightly away when she heard it. The atmosphere became very awkward but she chose to feign calmness and excitement when she greeted and informed Crown Prince Andrew...

"Brother-in-Law, Anders and I decided to help you with some of your tasks." She gave him a friendly smile, trying to hide the discomfort and awkward feeling inside.

Prince Andrew thought that seeing them so close and intimate with each other is already the most painful experience for him but now hearing her call him 'Brother-in-Law' instead of the usual 'Andrew' or 'My Love' made it even more painful!

"I will only allow it if you will continue calling me using my name." Crown Prince Andrew looked into her eyes and shifted to his Imperial Brother next. "After all, we were very, very close and intimate before..."

This time, it is Prince Anders who showed extreme anger on his face but he quickly went back to his gentle and kind facade.
