Chosen Bride of the Seven Dark Princes

Chapter 235 - The Emperor Maker



"You cannot do this." The Emperor sniffed.

"Actually, she can, Father." Dante responded without hesitation. "I just had one of my advisors study in detail our laws as well as the ancient text."

"Not only is what she just told you written into the archaic portion of our laws, it is also part of that ancient script The Ellipsoidal Macrocosm that our wife has studied in detail."

"What exactly does it say?"

"It specifically states that as soon as the next Primary Avgo Female has chosen her mate, or mates, she immediately becomes the next Empress, making all her chosen mates Emperors."

"Absurd." The Emperor grounded.

"Whether you choose to believe it or not is up to you Father, but I suggest you discuss this thoroughly with your advisors." Dante suggested gently.

"Even if they do not know all the details, they can at least read through the scriptures and give you some sound advice."

He was not surprised that Father did not know the details of this tiny but crucial detail. Even he had barely begun to grasp this information.

It was not surprising that this was a key aspect of the Avgo Events that everyone tried to bury until it became lost to time. If the Primary Avgo Female knew about this, it would have given them far too much power, and that would not have been something that any Emperor who was currently holding onto power would have allowed to relinquish.

Instead, it had turned into a beauty contest whereby it turned into a grab for the most desired prize, the chance to be the Crown Prince's wife. Those in power needed to make sure the Crown Prince was someone who could actually be a Crown Prince, as opposed to some lesser Prince, or heavens forbid, some random Joe Blow.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Candace was such a persistent scholar of antiquities, who knew how long it would have been before the power of the Avgo Female could have been exposed for what she truly was.

The Primary Avgo Female was an Emperor Maker.

The Emperor muttered silent profanities at this sudden turn of events and waved his hand, disappearing from visuals.

Jared heaved a sigh. "Father did not like that at all."

"Like it or not, it is a part of our Erenveil history." Byron raised an eyebrow. "That was how he became Emperor. He just didn't realize what had happened because he was the Crown Prince and was simply told whoever won the Avgo Events would be his Empress.

"That's truly sad," Lucas shook his head. "Neither he nor the Prime Avgo Female ever had a choice, really."

Byron turned to look at the rest of his brothers. "Remember this moment everyone so you won't get so shocked when it happens to us. When the next Avgo female comes, we will have to retire to make way for the new Empress."

Jason shrugged. "Me and Jared, we're not Emperor material so even if we get promoted to two-sevenths of an emperor, or however it's sliced and diced, we're not going to do anything different than what we're doing now."

"I think this would have more impact on our children. Whoever becomes the next Prime Avgo Female will be the one choosing the next Emperor." Dante called out.

Lucas nodded. "That's right. If one of our sons aren't chosen then the throne goes to whoever the next Avgo Female chooses, be they insect or dragon or mer."

"Let the future deal with itself." Dante blew a tired breath. "How much longer do you three have before you hit dragon space?" He closed the folder he was scanning and turned back to the twins.

"We made good time. It was supposed to take close to three days but this ship is faster than the normal ship, so we will be at the edge of dragon space by ten o'clock tomorrow. By around dinnertime, we will be within rendezvous with Mother Gwen's starship."

"Dinner time. So we're talking between eighteen hundred hours to twenty hundred hours." Dante nodded. "That's a good enough timeframe. I'll contact her and give last minute directives for taking over the ship."

He turned with softened eyes at Candace.

'I'll talk to you later. I love you." Dante murmured into Candace's ears. She nodded and gave him a smile.

He waved a hand at the group. "Take good care of my wife, you green haired clowns." He said before his visuals went dark.

"I also have to take care of some important details." Byron threw a kiss at Candace. "Be good to my woman."

'It won't be long, Love. We will be together soon.' Byron touched her mind before disconnecting their mental contact.

The only one left was Lucas.

"I was waiting for them to leave because I need to ask you guys something." He leaned in closer.

"I need to get an entire wardrobe sent to my island so when Candace drops by my home, she will have decent clothes to wear." His face reddened.

"Things just happened so quickly I didn't get a chance to prepare the island for her very well."

Jared waved a hand. "Don't worry Lucas. I have already ordered my team to make up a full summer wardrobe to be sent to you within a week."

Lucas' eyes were grateful. "Hey, I appreciate that. Throw in some cute beach jewelry for her as well. I don't care about the costs."

"It's okay Bro. We're not going to charge you for clothing our wife. Do we look that poor to you? We're her husbands too. It's our job to make sure she's clothed properly."

Lucas smiled. Things just seemed to flow so much more smoothly when all seven of them banded together and got things done.

'I'll see you when you get back, Wife. You take care of yourself.'

'You too.' She smiled and waved at him.

As Lucas signed off, Jared and Jason both looked at each other. They turned back to her.

"None of the guys said goodbye to you."

"They did. Mentally." She pointed to her head.

"Why are you holding out on us with the mental connection?"

Candace laughed. "Is that what it looks like I'm doing?"

She looped her arms around both their necks.

"You know, I've only been delivered into your arms for a single day. We still have dinner to eat and then we can go back into the bedroom and do whatever we wish."

Jared snapped a finger. "I got a great idea! How about we have them deliver food into our bedroom and we just stay in bed!!! Isn't that a great idea?"

Candace laughed. "But the servers are at the dining room waiting for us. If we don't show up—"

"As soon as we call and tell them we want room service, they'll shut down the dining area and let the servers off for the night. They'll be able to do other things instead of stand around watching us eat." Jason retorted.

"Yeah, that way, they get to do what they want to do and we get to do what we want to do!" Jared grinned.

Jason gave Jared a wicked look. "Oh hey. What we want to do won't hurt any more!" He rubbed his chest muscles.

"Is that all you're worried about, you goon?" Jared punched Jason in the shoulder.

"Heck yeah! That hurt!!!"

"No kidding," Jared shook his head. "I thought I was going to die."

The twins chattered back and forth, even as they escorted their wife back to the bedroom suite, bypassing the dining hall entirely.

They were hungry again, and it wasn't for food.
