Don’t Misunderstood! - Chapter 83

“An Emperor eh? Hahahaha! Don’t make me laugh!” The Duke laughed in ridicule, completely not giving the Emperor a face

Emperor Clyde’s face instantly turned red from anger. His porcelain white fist clenches themselves from rage to the point that veins were popping in them already

“Presumptuous! Guards, drag the Duke and beat him to death!” Clyde ordered and the imaginary guards looked at each other, not daring to enact the Emperor’s orders

If it was other people, the guards would have beaten that person to death already. However, this man is different

He is Duke Ryden Carstensen! He holds real power in his hands, completely unlike the powerless Emperor

“No one? No one would listen to the Emperor’s words? How dare all of you! Do you know who you are ignoring?”

Klein acted as if he was in denial of things while looking at all the imaginary guards that lowered their heads in shame

In this series, the Emperor is nothing but a mere powerless puppet. He sat in the Throne but that is only for the Nobles to oppose the Empress Dowager that has great power in her hands

If the Empress Dowager’s son were to sit on the Throne, she would have even more power and the Nobles don’t want that

As such, they let Clyde become the Emperor but he was nothing but a deterrent force

Aside from limiting the Empress Dowager’s power, there is also another reason why Clyde can even sit on the Throne and that was the Duke of Carstensen himself!

His power was no less than that of the Empress Dowager.. If not for him, Clyde would never become an Emperor, heck, he wouldn’t even survive until this day

However, even though Clyde became the Emperor, he was still someone that the Duke could trample upon. His position was extremely unstable

If the Duke stops supporting him, he would definitely lose the Throne

“Do you want these lowly guards that don’t even respect their ruler to treat you like a real Emperor, you know what to do to make that happen” The Duke responded

In this series, the Duke and the Emperor were childhood friends. They were really close with each other when they were young

It comes to the point that they grew romantic feelings for each other. However, the previous Emperor’s power was one by one taken by the Empress Dowager and her accomplices

From that point, Clyde set his goal in taking back the Imperial Power, leaving and abandoning Ryden in the process to seek power

Years later, the previous Emperor died and the Duke that grew in power over the course of time puts the powerless Clyde on the Throne

The Duke still have feelings for the Emperor but the Emperor is too focused in his goal

He wants to take back the Imperial power with his own effort. Also, he is an Emperor, how could he let himself submit to anyone?

And the result was this… their once harmonious relationship has been broken down by the happenings in their life

Clyde has the pride of an Emperor and he could not let anyone man own him even if it was his childhood sweetheart

“That will never happen, Duke. You should stop your heart from having feelings that it shouldn’t have” Clyde replied while moving his head to the side, possibly because of guilt

He knew that he was hurting the Duke but what can he do? He is the Emperor! Things are completely different now compared to when they were a child

“Stop? Hahahaha! ‘Your Majesty’, do you know how cruel your words are to me?” The Duke laughed in derision

Are things that easy? Just because Clyde told him that he should stop loving him that means Ryden could remove the man of his life from his heart?

“Do you know how much I suffered all these years? The blood that these hands of mine have drawn for me to have the power I have now? The power that I yearned to have so that I could help you? So that you could be the Emperor?! ”

The Duke looks as if his life was falling apart right in front of him as his palm went to cover his face

“Duke! I don’t ever recall asking for your help! I could seat on the Throne even without you. I suggest that you cool yourself down and forget all about me”

The Emperor still can’t look at the Duke due to the endless guilt that he has for him. He knew he was being cruel but this is something he must do

The Emperor took a deep breath before finally looking at Ryden with his cold and emotionless eyes

“This Emperor would never be owned by anyone. I am the son of the heavens, the Great Sun of the Empire, the Ruler of the Nation. On account of our past relationship, this Emperor would forgive the Duke but there wouldn’t be a second time. As the Emperor, I have the right to sentence a mere Duke to death. You should stop… “Clyde almost choked in his last sentence but he still force to finish it. “… loving me. This Emperor would never feel the same thing that you do”

Hearing such merciless words, the Duke unconsciously took a step back while his heart got shattered into millions of tiny pieces

Where was the man that was always smiling at him? The one that could make every atmosphere cheerful? The little guy that was so kind everyone can’t help but adore him?

Why is he replaced by such an indifferent and cruel guy

“HAHAHAHAHAH!” The Duke laughed loudly as if he was losing his mind. His eyes were filled with pain as he stared at the Emperor in disbelief

“Hahahaha! I did my best to have the power to be with you but this is how you would repay me? Not only would you marry and make some Noble your Empress but you are even saying that you would never love me. Avery Clyde Carstensen, I didn’t expect that your heart would be as cold as a sea of ​​ice! ”

Clyde accepted those words with a calm look on his face but his heart wasn’t as tranquil as he looks

The Emperor could only hope that with him being this cruel, the Duke would stop craving for his love

“Since I can’t have your love by showering you with affection then … I could only be forceful even if it is only your body that I could have!”

Before the Emperor could react, the Duke was already in front of him

This brought Klein into a sea of ​​panic. What the heck, this is the first time that the two were this close ever since they kissed each other

Klein can’t help but panic a bit. And if his mind isn’t remembering it wrong, the next scene would be…

Klein felt warm hands cupping his cheeks and the “ohhhh” sounds soon filled the entire room

His eyes widened as Calix… he… he forcefully kiss him!

This is indeed what was written in the scrip but when filming it, they could simply capture an angle that would look like the actors were really kissing

However, Calix … he was really kissing Klein right now!

Others haven’t noticed that though thanks to Calix deliberately using his hands to cover that fact

Everyone thought that Klein was merely acting after seeing how panicked he was. His hands even tried to weakly push Calix away from him

He looks like someone that doesn’t like the kiss yet also not using his 100% percent to stop it

If the Emperor or Klein wanted to, they could stop the kids as long as they put more strength into their struggle

However, both the Emperor and Klein have melted into a gooey puddle of powerlessness. The resistance was so weak that a child could resist better than him

Calix… this bastard… did he deliberately choose this scene for them to act so that he could kiss Klein?

Even after a few seconds, Klein could still the warm and soft lips into his own that seemed to have the desire to move

Klein cannot let that happen. If this goes on, the watchers might realize that the two of them were really kissing

Out of panic, Klein pushed Calix away from him and this time, he has enough force from his movement

Calix was really pushed back and this is not just a mere acting

He intended to apologize at first but then he saw Klein’s face

Klein’s whole face was as red as a tomato. His body was shaking a bit while his restless eyes doesn’t know where they should look at

He was like a little frightened kitten and Calix’s heart softened at this and the thought of apologizing was thrown at the back of his head

Klein’s current reaction and expressions were perfectly in line with the character he is auditioning for in this scene

Since that was the case, Calix could take advantage of it and he continued
