After leaving Aunt Dayana's house, I departed in a carriage towards my grandparents' house . Actually, I was already a bit late, after all, I was supposed to be there early in the morning .

Well, the reason I'm late was that I was playing with Susan, but I can't say that to my grandparents .
The trip to my grandparents' house was quick . They lived pretty near my aunt's house, so I reached there in less than fifteen minutes .
Once I was there, I saw my grandmother waiting for me outside .
"Claus!" She walked towards me with a concerned look and gave me a strong hug . "I heard what happened . "
I hugged her back and kissed her cheek . "Don't worry about it, grandma . I have my own plans . "
Grandmother continued looking at me without changing her expression . How could she not know about my situation? Although she heard my words, she thought it was nothing more than I attempting to relieve here .
I sighed inwardly . Well, it's obvious that she thinks like that .
"Come, your grandfather and aunt Sera are inside . "
I nodded and followed after her .
My grandfather and grandmother are called Steven Quin and Salana D'fine respectively . They are both in their fifties, but due to them practicing a bit of mana, they look more like people in their forties .
Aunt Sera, on the other hand, is my oldest aunt . She is 36 years old this year and the mother of Andrea . As for her looks, she has the features of my mother's family, with black hair and black eyes and a curvy and well-endowed body .
When I went inside the house, I found grandfather and aunt Sera seated around a wooden table . They looked at me with grave expressions before sighing .
"You are here . " My grandfather said .
I nodded respectfully . "Grandfather . "
"Come sit . " He said and pointed to an empty seat . "Salana, tell a servant to bring Claus lunch . "
Grandmother nodded and left .
Once my grandmother was gone, grandfather moved his gaze back to me . "Claus, what are you planning to do?"
I remained silent for a while before opening my lips . "Don't worry, grandfather, I have a plan . It's just that I can't speak about it now . " Besides, I still had to convince my sister of it .
My grandfather stared at me fixedly before heaving a sigh . "Your aunt and I were talking about it just now . Actually, you and Dina can simply renounce to the emperor's surname and adopt ours . If you are not princes anymore, then maybe the emperor and the empress will stop making things difficult for you . "
I stared at grandfather with a surprised expression . I could not believe that he proposed something like that .
His gaze, however, was firm . He was determined to do everything in his might to protect us .
But, precisely because of that, I shook my head . "Impossible . "
Grandfather and aunt looked at me . I was sure that my current expression was so firm and determined as grandfather's one .
"You know that the emperor and the empress will not care about our surname . Besides, as princes, we at least have a bit of protection granted by our lineage . If we abandoned our surname, then some people we'll lose their scruples . It can even implicate the family . "
When they heard my words, grandfather and aunt heaved a sigh .
"I knew you would not agree . " Aunt said with a complicated expression . "After all, you and Dina are as stubborn as your mother . "
I fell silent hearing it . I could feel the care and concern in their words . Despite knowing that their actions would mean going against the emperor, grandfather and aunt still suggested it .
Of course, if the emperor tries to destroy my mother's family, I will stop him, and I have the power to stop him . To them, the current situation was a dangerous crisis, but for me, it was nothing but a joke I could end anytime .
But grandfather and aunt did not know it . And despite it, they were determined to stand up for Dina and me .
In the end, blood is thicker than water, no matter what world it is .
"That damn emperor! Was ruining Silna's life not enough that he also wants to ruin yours?!"
I smiled wryly and shook my head . "Actually, I still don't understand why the emperor is like this . Was he not supposed to love mother dearly?"
Aunt's expression turned angry . "That bastard! Loved her dearly? Hah! He was nothing more than an obsessed bastard!"
Aunt, lower the voice . Are you not afraid of someone hearing you insult the emperor?
Well, I admit that he is a bastard .
Grandfather sighed sadly . A gloomy look appeared on his face while he remembered the past . He then looked at me with complicated eyes .
"Sigh . Your mother truly suffered back then . Actually, although your mother died after giving birth to you, the main responsible for her death was still the emperor . " I put on a focused expression and grandfather continued speaking .
"You see, although many said that the emperor loved your mother dearly, the truth is that his love was one-sided . When he saw your mother for the first time, he instantly was obsessed with her .
"The emperor tried many methods to make Silna fall in love with him, but your mother always rejected him . Back then, your mother already had someone she loved, so she did not want become the emperor's wife .
"However, when the emperor learned about it, he was enraged . So, he secretly ordered to kill the man your mother loved . "
