Few hours ago, King Feran was notified of his brother’s arrival by his Butler Greysen.

King Feran was shocked that his brother has come to visit him after 8 years at the worst time possible.

“What! Why is he here? He has a domain to manage. He has his responsibilities. It has just been a few months since the nobles’ rebellion. He should be in his domain, trying to fix the situations caused by the rebellion.”

King Feran was worried and tried to think of the reason for his brother’s arrival.

“Do you know what he came here for?”

Butler Greysen replied King Feran with a sigh expression.

“Your Majesty! The servent reported to me that Grand Duke Priam Winstone was trying to find late Grand Duke Hector Drakos’s son in the Royal Palace.”

King Feran finally realizes the reason why his brother came here.

“Oh, God! I know the reason.”

Butler Greysen was surprised to hear this and got curious.

“Your Majesty! May I ask why?”

King Feran, in a panicked state, answers him.

“HE HAS COME HERE TO TAKE AWAY ADONIS FROM ME!!!”

Butler Greysen was shocked when he heard this.

“But Your Majesty, why His Grace would take away Adios? Does His Grace not know that Palace of the Elders is the safest place for Adonis.?”

King Feran knew the answer to Butler Greysen’s question, but King Feran the one at fault, so he tries not to answer it.

“I have no time to explain. We must go to him at once.”

King Feran knows that his little brother will get very aggressive when he sees him, so he thinks of a plan.

He starts to look around and sees the two personal maids of Caius and Philomela. He points towards them with his finger.

“You there! What are your names?”

The two maids were surprised when the King asked them a question. This was their first time in 3 years of working in the royal palace that King Feran asked them something for the first time.

Both of them were taken by surprise. The first one was a 24 years old white beautiful maid with brown hair while the other one was 22 years old light brown beautiful maid with silver hair.

Both of them lowered their head for a moment to show respect to King Feran. After That, the brown-haired maid answered the King with respect.

“Your Majesty! My name is Petra. I am the personal maid of Prince Caius. The maid beside me is Livia. She is the personal maid of Princess Philomela.”

King Feran hands over Prince Caius from his right arm into Maid Petra’s arms and Princess Philomela from his left arm into Maid Livia’s arms.

“It is time to meet my brother. Everyone follow me.”

King Feran and Queen Medea walk in the front while Butler Greysen, Maid Petra, and Maid Livia follow them from behind.

After a few minutes, they reach the Royal Palace Hall. There King Feran starts looking around for his brother Priam Winstone.

After seeing all around him, he does not see his brother.

“Greysen! Where is my little brother Priam? Has he already left with my nephew?”

While the King was looking around for his brother in the Palace Hall, Greysen gathered information from the nearby servants if they had seen Grand Duke Priam.

After some searching, Greysen found out that Grand Duke Priam with Adonis’s personal servants was coming right in their direction. After King Feran had asked him, he asked him in confidence.

“Your Majesty! Grand Duke Priam is coming this away.”

After hearing his King, Feran asked Greysen another question with impulse.

“Does he has my nephew with him?”

Greysen gave a worried face to King Feran than he answered.

“Your Majesty! Your suspicions are correct.”

When King Feran heard this, his heartbeat increased, and he started to breathe heavily.

In the next moment, everyone saw Grand Duke Priam entering the Palace Hall and in the Palace Gates direction.

When King Feran saw his brother going to the Palace Gates’ direction, his eyes suddenly started searching for Adonis. He saw Adonis in the hands of his wet-nurse.

When King Feran and Priam’s eyes met, King Feran had an exhausted face, and Priam had an angry look. King Feran tried to calm his brother down by talking to him.

“My Little Brother! Have you come to see me?”

In anger and wrath, Priam sprinted towards his elder brother and grabbed him aggressively by his collars. He shouted towards his brother.

“You Lying Bastard!”

Tears were falling from Priam’s eyes after he said those words.

“You were supposed to ………. *drip* YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT OUR BROTHER! YOU PROMISED US! *drop* YOU PROMISED BROTHER HECTOR! YOU PROMISED BROTHER PERSEUS! YOU PROMISED MEEE!!! Yet you………… YET YOU BETRAYED OUR PROMISE!”

Priam let go of his brother’s collars and slowly walked away with Adonis and his servants.

King Feran was also sad and feeling empty because of his brother Hector’s death. Still, because he was a king, he needed to show strength even at a difficult time.

He saw his little brother Priam leaving with Adonis and tried to stop him. He said this with a long yet calm voice.

“Dear Brother! Please Wait! Please Listen to Me. Adonis is safe here. I will protect him.”

Priam, in his anger, replied.

“Just like you protect Brother Hector?”

King Feran was already trying not to show his sadness. But After he heard his brother say this. He had reached his limit. He was also angry at his brother for saying such cruel words.

“THWACK!”

King Feran had punched his brother in the face. The sound of the punch was so much that it was hearable from anyplace in the Palace Hall. Everyone was shocked when they saw this.

After the sound of King Feran punched was no more. The sound of tears started.

This time it was not the tears of Priam but the tears of King Feran.

“How dare you say this to me? Do you not know how much I miss our dear brother? *drip* Do you not know how much I wanted to save him? If I could, I would have even sacrificed my own life.”

After King Feran said those, the whole Palace Hall fell in silence.

Charon Gladwyne was really curious about something for some time ever since he had met Grand Duke Priam. So, he asked Maid Larisa in a hushed tone.

“Larisa, Why does King Feran and Grand Duke Priam call late Grand Duke Hector and Commander Perseus brothers? They are even not related by blood.”

Larisa was surprised to hear Knight Charon’s question.

“Do you really don’t know?”

Charon Gladwyne answered, was a sad expression.

“I really do not know. Can you tell me?”

Larisa took a deep breath then answered Knight Charon.

“Really? It is a really famous story here. I thought you knew. If you really don’t know, then I will tell you.”
