BXBX NOVEL Chapter 252 - God Is Fair
" Are you defying my order perhaps ? " said queen Margrethe .
" Your majesty , please do not twist the meaning of my words . " said Helios's uncle .
" And you mustn't start a fight every time the family gathers , Friedrich . " said queen Margrethe .
The others remained quiet and listened to the situation . Kiara was worried a lot about her brother but at the same time, there was nothing she could do . Helios's mother also wanted to break the icy atmosphere but the fierce grip and look of her husband made it impossible for her to say anything in fear of worsening the things rather than improving them .
" Family ?...Heh.....Your majesty.....Mother , you.....can't be serious , can you ? After what he did to me , you expect me to treat him as family ? " said Friedrich with an annoyed tone .
Helios sat on the seat his grandmother told him without uttering a word and just listened to them .
" I told you that you cannot sit there . Don't stain that seat and this gathering with your presence . Whenever you come , the word peace disappears , you an evil thing . All those attempts that you had in the past yet you are still alive . The accident that happened back then was so dangerous yet it didn't kill you . Evil beings sure have a long life . " said Friedrich with an angry expression .
" Friedrich ! I command you to silence at once ! " said queen Margrethe with an annoyed tone .
Helios looked at his uncle then looked at his grandmother .
" It's okay , your majesty ! " said Helios with a polite tone then looked at his uncle .
" Uncle ! The only reason why I continue to attend these gatherings is because of grandmother , sister and cousin are present . As for the others , you should be glad that I attend . Rather , you should be thanking me . " said Helios with a bitter smirk .
" Thanking you ?! Are you out of your mind ?! " said Friedrich .
At that moment the servants came in and served the food to each one of them . The table was filled with the most luxurious dishes n the palace and some of Helios's favorite dishes which the queen had personally ordered the kitchen to prepare . After the food was served , Helios took a bite then looked at his uncle again .
" This year the economy of the state dropped by twenty percent and you know it well since it caused an alarming situation on court . The country was being prepared to make an exchange agreement with another country so that the economy could rise to its normal standards again . The lands of our ancestors , of our country , of grandfather, were about to be sold off to others . I cut two major projects of mine and paid the missing part of the economic foundation of the state which is nearly two and a half billion along with some previous debts out of my own pocket money . Didn't you all fly to other countries meeting their leaders for the purpose of resolving this economical crisis ? " said Helios with a smirk as he chewed some meat in his mouth .
" Also , if you are still able to continue your lavish lifestyle and eat such an expensively delicious meal , is due to me paying the debt . Should I also point out loud the one who caused all this loss to our country because her greed for parties and show-off appearance aren't enough ? " said Helios looking at his uncle .
" What ?....You ! Don't you dare start spouting nonsense and hide behind that money of yours ! As for paying the debt , that's what you ought to do for being allowed to still keep the surname of the royal family of Denmark . You stole a life from me ! You murderer !...God sees it all ! All your evil doings will make sure your life is destroyed....your job , your career , everything you own and make sure you pay a hefty price for everything you have done . " said Friedrich enraged .
" I didn't steal any life from you . The truth will come to light one day but when it does , it will be too late for you to make amends for the damages I have received . As for God making me pay the price....he he he.....If I was really as evil as you said , god would have taken my life back at that accident but look where I am now.....That's right ! God pitied me , a child who had fallen into the scheme of a vicious person , a child whom the whole family turned their back at , even its biological parents . All of the hatred and cold stares froze my heart and gave me immense strength . From the most hated child to one of the most powerful people in the world nowadays . Why would God grant such an honor to someone who has done such an evil thing as ' murder ' ? " said Helios with a serious and determined tone .
Just the look on him , the confidence he had n him , always made them wonder for a brief second if he was the real culprit of everything that happened .
" Didn't you also have problems with your own company ? " said Karen with an innocent expression .
" Indeed there was a mess in which I couldn't find a solution easily . God is so merciful that not only has it solved my problem but also the company is growing larger and the economic statistics are expected to grow by one billion at the end of this year . God helped me in the most unexpected way possible . My other competitors are grinding their teeth as they see the calculations of my company ." said Helios with a calm composure as if one billion was nothing .
Karen's dissatisfied look was the best dessert Helios could have .
" Helios , I order you to stop at once ! " said Helios's father glaring at him .
" I am sorry father but I shall inform you that it is useless for you to continue to glare at me with hate . The child who once trembled at that fierce sight of yours is long gone . As for the expenses of raising me , I have paid you more than enough . I have no reason to listen to you anymore . " said Helios .
" How dare you talk to your father like that ?! How dare you not listen to the high ranked prince of Denmark ?! " said Helios's father enraged .
" You stopped being my father when you threw me aside and regretted , cursed my birth . Just like you are the high-ranked prince of Denmark , I am the ruler of my own empire as well . An empire that is more powerful than you may think of . " said Helios angering his father even more but there was nothing he could say now .
" Your majesty , I am quite full with all the delicious food filled with stares full of hate and a proper dessert filled with envy . I shall take my leave now . May all of you have a pleasant evening . " said Helios with a smirk and got up from his seat then turned his back and started to walk towards the entrance
" Helios , don't you think you are being too much when you are clearly the one at fault here ! I will not let you get away with it . " said Livio , Helios's uncle's son .
" Livio , I really hope that one day , we can face fair and square . Come to me when you have cleared your mind and stopped being your mother's puppet . " said Helios with a smirk and left , leaving an uncomfortable atmosphere around all of them .
Klara couldn't stand it anymore and got u from her seat , Mana did the same .
" Klara ? " said her father confused .
" I apologize your majesty , but my teacher has given me a lot of homework which needs to be solved . I would like to ask for permission to return . As you already know , I was recognized as Cambridge's genius . I ought to live up to my name . " said Klara with a polite tone and looked at Karen with a smirk .
" Congratulations my granddaughter ! You can go ahead ! " said queen Margrethe with a proud smile .
" Congratulations my dear daughter ! I am very proud of you . " said her father .
" Well done sweetie ! " said her mother .
' One is the ruler of a multi-billion company while the other is a genius in artificial technology . My children are awesome . ' thought Helios's mother as she looked at Karen with a boasting expression .
' Laugh , Laugh Angie.....laugh while you can cause I will destroy all of you one by one , starting with that annoying son of yours . ' thought Karen with a scary expression .
" Mana , why did you get up ? " asked Friedrich .
" You may not be aware of this but I won the award for the best collection of the year . I never expected you t take your time and look at your daughter for a second but this time , the whole competition was broadcasted everywhere . There's no one who doesn't know my name now . " said Mana with an unpleased tone .
" Mana...my daughter , I am very happy . I am also very proud of you . I have always known that you were going to win . " said Friedrich with a guilty tone when he saw the hurt expression of his daughter .
