Franz Joseph I Siblings Novels & Stories

"Dad, please. At least wait until we get the test results before we discuss this, alright?" "Fine, Monica. Go rest. Tomorrow, I'll give you the files. As for when we respond to the Pushkin family, you decide." After getting the files, I studied the Pushkin family carefully, especially the eldest son, Ivan Pushkin. Ivan and Alessandro were half-brothers with the same father. He'd lost his mother as a child and his wife as a young man. Thanks to his stepmother's manipulation, his father feared him. The Pushkin Don, Peter Pushkin, had even given the ring of power to his second son, Alessandro, instead.

He walked around his desk, stopping in front of Domenico. "Thank you, father," Vincent and Gio said at the same time as Domenico stood before saying, "thank you, Uncle, that means the world to me." "Your father would be proud of you, Nipote," Francesco said, placing a hand on each of his shoulders. Domenico's father was Francesco's younger brother and he was his consigliere or advisor. He was killed during an attack when Domenico was five. With his mother having died during childbirth, Vincent's parents had taken him in and raised him as if he was their own. Vincent and his two blood brothers never looked at him as anything but a brother. Even if they hadn't had some of the same blood, they

He didn't want to 'outshine' his two brothers. Last year was the peak of their problem. Heinrich and Julian competed for the title of heir to the throne, and somehow he also got involved in the struggle for the throne simply because he was also the King's son. A brilliant plan devised by Heinrich and executed by Julian was thwarted by the Goldlane siblings of Euclase, so as a result, Heinrich had crowned Crown Prince and Julian became a Lycan. But their father, the King, became furious with both of them.

And he knows how much I detest any topic related to marriage. He must be in shock that I am married. Not just married, but not to his sister or any of the other princesses. Fernando is Mario’s grandson. Isabel is his sister and also Mario’s granddaughter. Fernando and I grew up together, but Isabel stayed mostly in Italy with her mother. Mario was my godfather. He trained Fernando and me. “It happened by accident, but I intend to keep things real to get mom off my back,” I inform him, and he nods in understanding.

“Why did you put up with him for so long if he is so disrespectful towards you?” I asked him. He let out a sigh. “He is my cousin. His dad and my father had the same father,” I couldn’t believe it. I have never once heard of it. Maybe it was some kind of top secret because I never knew Bernardo or the other royal siblings had an uncle not to talk of a cousin. No wonder Theo acts the way he does. “What?” “Yes, they had different moms and my dad was the youngest,” Youngest? Then how did he become king? I thought.

And when he went there, he heard the soldiers speaking in Hungarian. ‘I don’t know why the Serasker won’t order for the emperor’s siblings be brought here. They should have executed the two of them by now.’ Hadrian clenched his fists into a ball. Josef and Marianna are directly in line to the throne after him, so it’s not surprising that the invaders would sentence them to death.

Naturally, his eyes fell onto the son of his dead brother, Cassius. The audacity of Finn for calling this event a joyful party. Cassius knows better than anyone else how Finn hates the his presence. Because he never once thought of Cassius as his blood-related nephew, or as the son of his older brother. Except from Zion and Sorren, the members of this family only see him as a threat, a rag, a child of a maid.

“So you’re just friends with them?” The images of the copper haired quintet flew into my head. The extended family I spent my childhood entertaining with Franz. “We grew up together. They're practically my sisters. So that means…” and I pointed to Zeke then at my eyes, growling. Finn hooted with amusement. “I wasn’t planning on it! Hayden took a swing at it but got turned down flat. Think they have guys already.” “Really?” feeling a surge of protectiveness rise up. “Who?”

"I don't understand. You're the Emporer's brother." Suddenly, Javier hit me with a burst of decadent laughter. The musical noise enraptured me for a moment, watching his lips turn upward in amusement. "Not quite. Cyrus is my younger brother, but I'm a bastard, conceived by a handmaiden, not a consort. I don't even live in the Huaca." He paused. "But I love my brother. And we take care of each other. I see what he deals with every day. I wouldn't want it even if I was handed the golden key."

If she remembered correctly, this man was another heir of the York family competing for the family fortune—Harlow, Leo's elder brother. Half of Joseph's children died young. Leo and Harlow's father was Joseph's youngest son, who was considered to have the best constitution among Joseph's children. Unfortunately, he didn't live past fifty. This youngest son married a woman from a family known for strong longevity genes. Therefore, their two sons, Harlow and Leo, were the only two among Joseph's grandchildren who lived past thirty. Consequently, the two of them were in the lead in terms of competing for the family inheritance.
