Chapter 45

Book:Obsession of the Prince Published:2024-5-1

People are peaceful, and everyone is very happy, but they all seem to have their own worries. Only Kely is happy from the inside out.
The king knocked on the glass, and everyone was quiet. He said, “My son, Prince Edward, has returned from his studies. He has learned a lot in two years and has obtained two master’s degrees!”
Everyone’s applause thundered.
“I want to put him in the Ministry of Tourism to do something. Do you have any opinions?” He asked with a smile.
On this occasion, who would oppose a kind king? So, after three days, I went up. Deputy Minister of Tourism of King Aston.
I devoted myself to my work, and my colleagues and I visited all parts of the country to have a deep understanding of foreign tourism enterprises. I planned a Disneyland project, and I needed my father’s consent for land acquisition.
So early in the morning, I got off the plane back from America and went directly to the palace, to the king’s bedroom. I never knew to knock at the door when I entered my parents’ room, and I went in directly this time. Only to see Aunt Alen hugging my father, and a deep groan came from their bed.
I saw the scene and turned away quickly but my father obviously saw me, and got up quickly, naked, and caught up while wearing pajamas. “Edward, what’s the matter?”
“I’ll come back in the afternoon!” I didn’t look back. I went straight out. 
My father grabbed me. “Maybe, the afternoon is not very convenient!”
I sighed and said, “Ok!” 
The next morning, I did not enter directly but knocked on the door for half a day. It wasn’t my father who came to open the door, but Aunt Alen.
“Dear Edward, are you looking for the king? He just fell asleep.” She leaned over the door frame with messy hair and flushed cheeks.
“This matter is really important. I’ll wait for him outside.” The now Mrs. Alen turned and walked in, and I stood at the door. Within five minutes, there was laughter, followed by groans. I can’t help but sneer, father in his 60 s, what magic did Mrs. Alen use to rejuvenate him? I’m here again and I have still locked away. 
In the evening, I finally met my father, who was eating alone at the dining table. His face was ugly and his eyes were sunken.
I walked over and sat next to him and asked, “Dad, are you not in a good state recently?”
“People are old, it’s okay.” He said. 
But it’s only been three days. People don’t get old so fast! I must stop Mrs. Alen from hurting my father. It makes me laugh at all this.
I had a long time to report to him about Disneyland. He also agreed, and our project finally made substantial progress. I should have returned to the project team immediately and continued many branch work below. But I didn’t.
On the fifth morning, I came to the outside of His Majesty’s bedroom and knocked on the door. As his only son, no one can stop me. 
Aunt Alen opened the door angrily. “Edward, you should go to work!”
I smiled and said, “This is my job, Menstruation!” I uttered the word menstruation hard to remind her that although my mother died, she should also pay attention to her identity. 
Aunt Alen is a little angry. “We are your manners, children? You must know to respect us!”
I shrugged my shoulders. “Please remember this too!”
If it had been two years ago, I wouldn’t have gone back, but now, I am different. In the past two years, I have not only obtained two difficult degrees in France but also investigated many things. These things, let me know how to be tough!
Aunt Alen smoothed his hair angrily, turned, and walked away. Yes, he didn’t go back to his father’s bedroom, but she ran away angrily. There is joy in my heart, but it is melancholier. At this time, my father’s weak voice came from the room. “Alen, has Edward left? Come back quickly, my kitten! ”
I found George Sr., the head of the palace. I told him to call me whenever he sees Alen enter his father’s bedroom. Old George nodded to me to reassure me. I left the palace with satisfaction and continued my work. I have been back for several months, and I have never seen Kely again because of my busy work in Thailand.
I don’t know how she is now. Perhaps God heard my inner call, and every other day, my father suddenly informed me that I would put down my work at hand and return to the palace to attend the dinner. I asked what happened, but my father didn’t answer me. I had to put down my work and drove back to the palace alone with my bodyguard.
In the splendid restaurant, I saw many people, my brother Erik, Mrs. Anna, Aunt Alen, our brother Peter, who went to school in England, Judy, and Kely.
We sat on both sides of the long table. The main seat was of course my father. On his right-hand side was Mrs. Alen, where my mother used to be. On the left was me, and beside me was Erik. I whispered to him, “Do you know what the occasion today is?”
