Matilda had been able to learn a little about every single one of them, as she had been watching them over the st couple of months anyway, but it wasn’t easy to travel into someone’s mind when others were watching!
Luckily, she had been able to keep a fight from happening, by keeping the memory of a golden heir killing a royal child from everyone, but it didn’t mean that she might not tell a specific emperor at another stage on his own…
What did come out, was that of the heir that bought off some people and gained the achievements that wasn’t of his own doing.
Some things really fit well with their character, on who they were as a person, and so it couldn’t be helped, but when it came to something that might humiliate a whole haven, Matilda could not just let the cat out of the bag…
As soon as lunch was done, Matilda went directly to Yellow Haven Emperor, who was still very weary of her, and let him know how one of his children had died in the past.
It wasn’t like they were in private, but Matilda had seen the moment where the emperor was on his own in the corner and made the best of it.
“I thought this memory was something that had to be known to you, just known to you without the others knowing.” Matilda stated.
The Yellow Haven Emperor shook his head and looked away, “Coming here has really been the worst time that this king has ever had!”
Matilda sighed, “Your Majesty, I’ve…”
They interrupted her, “This King has seen it, you can go now!”
Straightening up, Matilda gave him a small smile and then stood. “Very well.”
Giving him a small, polite bow, she left him in peace.
As much as the Yellow Haven Emperor wished to kill that specific golden heir, that he had thought was his own son, he knew he did not have the power to do so.
He had lost all his guards and well, his ministers probably thought it was too much, as they had talked him into realizing the importance of this visit.
Time had really changed from the moment that the letter had reached him!
If he himself had been of the real yellow haven royal blood line, they would have been able to know about this golden heir earlier but…The blood hadn’t been tested since his father’s reign…So, yes, the other haven who had implemented the royal blood type of rule had indeed been the Yellow Haven, except it was no longer in affect.
It seemed that what might have happened to Red Haven, where another was becoming ruler instead of the real blood of the royal line, had actually happened in Yellow Haven. They had achieved it!
Matilda knew how, as it was just the ‘power’ that that family had, and they pretty much used it to do whatever they wanted too!
But they could not use the old rule of blood, simply because they weren’t of royal blood themselves! It was almost like a double-edged sword!
What Red Haven had tried to do, back twenty years ago, was to abolish that type of w, so it wouldn’t be needed. With Yellow Haven, they had instead tried to sidestep it, trying as they might to make the real ‘blood’ their own instead, but over the years that had come to no use…So, they had used their power and time to just overcome any questioning about it! It can be scary what people will do just to get what they want…
This was just one reason why monarchy didn’t work…It’s sorta crazy how many governments don’t seem to work…Well, I guess perhaps some are being done in the wrong way or something but still, in my opinion, a government should start at the kids because they are our tomorrow…Our future. If the kids aren’t brought up well, then you are pretty much saying ‘fuck off’ to our tomorrow…Once again that is just my depressing opinion…
Anyway…Back to the ‘fakish’ yellow emperor who is upset that his ‘son’ is not his son…
The way that the governments were run weren’t up Matilda’s alley, so…It didn’t matter to Matilda, well at least not right now, because the current yellow haven emperor was all she needed for her pn to work!
Seriously, it made her wonder how often the Golden Emperor might have lost his power, considering that the other haven emperor’s might have changed and so they had to get the new approval and old ones all over again! Was that how it was?
Matilda was really wondering how they were able to keep the golden bridge up when an approval was up in the air simply because a new emperor was taking pce over a haven…Was there some type of time limit for the Golden Emperor to obtain favor?
Whatever, it really shouldn’t have much to do with her, right!? All she wanted was to get the king of kings going so that she could use him to try and calm the spiritual essence…Wouldn’t it be nice to no longer have to worry about this reason that could end this line of humanity? If she could just worry about normal wifely duties for once, to bring up her child and well…You know…Grow old or something!
That would be nice…

It was after lunch that they continued with the ‘memories’ and then stopped for the day after they were finished, in all agreeance. It was obvious to everyone now that picking a new golden emperor was going to take longer than they anticipated and so they were done for the day.
They had some time to do whatever they wanted before dinner and so there were numerous things that were done or talked about.
The horses in the race continued to obtain favor, a few wanted to see the ‘takeaway stores’ and ‘swimming pool’, which made Matilda happy and so she showed them through her own sight.
Bending Space Meditation became a topic of conversation and so there was quite a time that there was no fights or compints…It was almost just like a normal gathering of people just talking about shit.
…And that was how the days seemed to go…
It wasn’t like nothing went wrong…
There was compints and fights, there were drunken idiots and horses chucking tanties…But it was just more of the same every day. They would eat their breakfast, everyone coming down on their own, and talk while eating. They would then do something with the horses, in some type of regard to show them off and how they could ‘win the race’.
Then they’d have lunch and finish what they started before it and then hang around for dinner. Dinner was the highlight of everyday as a side to everyone came out that was more…Approving?
People just cared a little less about the importance of why they were there and why they were not in their respected havens. They let their hair down and had some ughs!
Strangely, for someone who’d probably prefer to be on her own, Matilda was out their stumbling around like an idiot, which helped people to do the same! Madeline and Matilda got on like goofballs when they were both pretty drunk and both would bring ‘Dad’ trouble…
The Blue Haven Emperor would tend to go to bed earlier then many others, probably because he was the oldest one there…But he did make up for it in the morning!
It was weird how they all were impatient to go home, yet adjusting and accepting their time in golden haven nonetheless…
Two golden heirs left on their own within the first three days, not really making a dent to the emperor’s choices, as they hadn’t been any of the favorites. One was the ex-red haven royal heir, another was the green haven royal heir.
Those two had started with good feelings, having been brought up to obtain a bit of an ego but…There were many reasons why they had just given up. The green haven heir was kicked out of green haven openly, the green haven emperor not caring over this particur thing in front of everyone. The green haven emperor felt that he had all right to kick out an unwelcomed outsider, so he did! In that regard, both of those heirs really didn’t have a home to go back too. On top of that they really felt inadequate for the job, especially when they were competing against people who seemed to be smarter than them and had already achieved accomplishments that made the emperor’s already look happier…When they had really nothing to their name…
Nate was obviously still there and spreading his ‘talent’, which was pretty much gloating about what no other golden heir had done. It was indeed something that only he could do! Not only that but he was up to strange thoughts. To find out the extend of Matilda’s powers, he had spent a whole day thinking, ‘are you listening to me now?’, and yes, he got a few strange looks at him from her. It was all for good reason though, as he wanted to know how often his thoughts were being heard. He knew already that the one with the most power right now was probably her. She would help the next golden emperor with many things and even now she still had power over everyone just by being there! If there was a way to find her weakness or find a way to control her, he’d be set! Another thing that Nate did was talk to the two golden heirs that left, their conversation was short but Nate wanted to see how far they would go and if they could become any kind of chess piece for him to use ter…If necessary…The red haven golden heir may not come to use, but perhaps, if the green haven emperor did not return back to his haven, the information being known that the green haven golden heir wasn’t his grandson, perhaps…Maybe…There was, of course, another problem there though…Nate knew of Felix, who was indeed next in line for Green Haven, so there were two obstacles.
If Nate had a potential ally in green haven, by making this golden heir the next green haven emperor, then wouldn’t they both win? That was why Nate went to speak to both of them, well even if they weren’t to become emperor’s they might be angry and even that could be used to Nate’s advantage!
Austin wouldn’t be as upfront as Nate, he would sometimes feel like he’s gone into the shadows, until a certain point! Suddenly Austin would surprise everyone with a sudden sentence, or a sudden different way of thinking, making him stand out in a totally different way to Nate.
The problem with Nate, was that of his deeds with going behind the emperor’s backs that always kept him from ‘coming in first’.
There seemed to be more than one way to obtaining favor though…
Nate was trying to buy favor, Austin was trying to just obtain it through who he was as a person but…There were other ways that did come across as amusing.
One of the heirs seemed to be quite the clown and came across as one that didn’t seem to care too much about what was going on! When he had been caught trying to fight for number one, he had in fact initiated the fight and then pretended to continue it! Making a big deal over obtaining the number one, he had waved it around like a mad man and even did a little skip…Almost like a little girl…
And so…A fight had broken out and he had been ughing inside!
This particur heir was from blue haven and had not cared when his so-called father had found out who he was. Well, that’s how it ‘looked’ on the outside. Honestly, he wasn’t a hundred percent sure why he came when such a secret was found out like this, when he did actually care about the blue haven emperor. It was indeed a strange occurrence as the Blue Haven Emperor had seen it but did not say anything straight away.
The blue haven emperor just felt that since everyone saw the obvious, then why should he say anything!
It was definitely something that the blue haven emperor had to think about because he had liked the ‘boy’ a bit! Well, he had liked the ‘boy’ a lot more than that, but he won’t admit that to just anyone! The ‘boy’ hadn’t been first in line to the throne and sadly, he had already grown on him as the emperor himself was this type of ‘clown’ when he had been younger! It really was peculiar as he was more like the blue haven emperor, who was of no blood retion, then that of his own mother or biological father!
What the blue haven emperor couldn’t get over, was that Nate never acknowledged any of his blood kin! It was obvious how cold he was to family, and how important it was to him that he become the next golden emperor…So obvious!
So…The blue haven emperor was different to those who had indeed denounced the heirs that weren’t theirs and did not say a word! In fact, the blue haven emperor patted the ‘boy’ on the head and sighed…He will be the father for him since the ‘real’ one couldn’t be! And well, even if the ‘boy’ didn’t really know why he had come in the first pce, he had a fair idea about it!
…Nonetheless, this golden heir, still known as the child of the blue haven emperor, was obtaining favor by just making people ugh and able to not worry so much about the time they are still not in their homes…
