When he was coming to Amphissa city for the first time in the royal carriage, he woke up in the middle of travel. He felt that he was in the arms of a woman he thought was his Personal Maid Larisa. So he was surprised when he saw himself in the arms of an unknown woman. He had never seen this person before. Because of this predicament, he had started crying. But when they saw his Uncle Phiteus, he felt at ease and went to sleep again.

After they arrived at the Palace of Honor, it was difficult for him to feel at home. But after 2 years, he started to feel at home and felt at ease for the first time. He even knew all the people in the palace who acted affectionate towards him.

On an unexpected day, Grand Duke Phiteus Winstone proposed to Maid Circe. She was surprised by this, but because she loved him too, she immediately accepted his proposal.

A few days later, Their wedding took place in the Great Temple of Hera in Thiva, the Royal Capital of Azlek Kingdom. Hera is the goddess of marriage and Zeus’s wife. In Phiteus and Circe wedding ceremony, they exchanged vows to protect and love each other forever until the end of times.

After they had exchanged their vows, they announced something in front of all the High Ranking Nobles, including King Feran and Queen Medea. They said that they would adopt Adonis Drakos.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but they also accepted this because they had seen Adonis quite happy in their care for 2 years.

Adonis was in the arms of his Personal Knight Charon Gladwyne, who was standing at the right side of Phiteus.

He had lived with them for 2 years and been cared for in their care. They had shown so much love even though they were not his parent. He had never received this much love and compassion even in his previous life.

So, when he heard that they were going to adopt him, he started to begin laughter of joy.

Because Now Grand Duke Phiteus had a family. He had to label his branch family, and he named it Macarius, which meant Blessed because they were now a happy family.

Thus, another year passed, and Adonis’s love for his parents grew and their love for him. One day, his mother, Grand Duchess Circe, gave birth to a daughter, which his father named Amara.

Adonis was in bliss, so this was unexpected. If Adonis was an average child, maybe he will hate the new child because all focus would have now gone her. But Adonis already knew the pain of being hated.

So instead, he welcomed his new sister and embraced her in his arms. Seeing this made both the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess happy.

Our story continues after 8 years of the Nobles Rebellion that killed Grand Duke Hector Drakos and Grand Duchess Elpis Drakos.

Adonis has forgotten what it feels to be in pain and what is suffering. Because his parents pampered him for so long, he never prepared for anything. He always trusted them to deal with the consequences.

Everyone was making preparations to travel to the Royal Palace. But except Adonis, who was too lazy even to get ready for it.

He was lazing around in the Palace garden when he heard a child’s sweet voice calling him.

“Big Brother! Where are you?”

He immediately recognized this voice and answered.

“*Yawn* I am here, little sis.”

After he said this, someone came right in front of him. The person in front of him looked like a nine-year-old little girl with white skin, puffy cheeks, and yellow hair.

Amara Macarius was his little sister and the firstborn of Grand Duke Phiteus and Grand Duchess Circe of House Macarius.

Right now, she was looking at him with anger and disappointment. She asked him with calm.

“Brother! Why are you not getting ready?”

Adonis was relaxing and lazing in the garden, so when she asked him this question, he did not understand what she meant, so he answered her with a question.

“Getting ready for what?”

Hearing this, her disappointment in her brother increased, and she facepalmed while answering him.

“Brother, Have you truly forgotten the important event today?”

Yesterday, His Personal Knight Charon Gladwyne had told him all about his Engagement Ceremony. But, he did not listen to him, and now this was happening because of it.

So he still did not understand what she meant and asked her to investigate further.

“What do you mean, little sister? I was not told of any important event that will happen today.”

When she heard this, she sighed and replied to him.

“*Sigh* Brother, Today you will be engaged to the Princess Philomela( the daughter of King Feran).”

When he heard this, he became super thrilled and immediately asked her.

“But, Who decided this??? Why was I not informed of this???”

She was so disappointed that she was not even shocked by his question now.

“Brother! 5 days ago, Butler Greysen arrived from the Royal Palace to ask you if you would accept this request of the king, and I heard from him that you accepted the proposal because he heard you saying something like this,

“Ok! I guess.”

After he heard this, he started sweating. Because when the butler arrived, he was not listening to him and was reading a romantic novel. So when the butler had finished talking, he said this to make the butler go away so that he could read the story in peace.

He did not know the butler had come to ask of something that important. When his sister Amara saw her brother sweating, she started to suspect something and further questioned him.

“Brother, Yesterday! When Father sent your Personal Knight Sir Charon to you to tell you about your engagement, you listened to him, right?”

Adonis did not know that his father sent his knight to tell him about the Engagement Day, so he paid no attention to whatever his knight said. It was all because he was too lazy to listen to anyone.

Adonis’s replied while laughing as he was sweating more.

“Haha! Of course, I knew!*sweat* Why…………… Why would I not listen to my own knight? *sweat*.”

Amara now knew his brother was lying because of how he reacted to her question. But, it was no use to discuss this further, so she calmly said to him.

“*Sigh* Brother, just get ready. We will be leaving in a short while.”

After saying this, she immediately leaves Adonis alone in the garden. Adonis also returns to his private chambers to change his clothes.

After he completes changing into the Royal Robes of House Drakos, he hears a knock on his door. When he listens to this, he immediately speaks.

“Who is it?”

From the other side of the door, a voice answers.

“Young Master! It is me, Your loyal subject Charon. I am here to tell you that everyone is ready and are right now waiting for you.”

Adonis replies with confidence in his voice.

“Tell them I will be there shortly.”

Sir Charon, after hearing this, immediately replies and leaves.

“Than, I shall do as you command.”

Few Minutes pass, and Adonis finally arrives at the palace gate where other people are waiting for him.

When his father, Grand Duke Phiteus, sees him. He immediately sees his brother Hector in him, and tears fall from his eyes as he rushes to hug him.

“My Son, You look just like Brother Hector. He would have been so proud of you if he saw you wearing these robes. Today, I am also very proud of you.”

Some tears also fall from his mother, Grand Duchess Circe’s eyes when she sees this emotional situation. But his sister seems very angry for some reason.

“Big Brother! You are late. Do you know we have been waiting for you for 20 minutes? My legs are in pain because of it.”

Adonis recognizes his mistake and immediately answer his sister.

“Sorry, Sister! It is my fault. I promise I will make you your favorite dish when we come back.”

When she hears this, her anger fades, and she starts drooling a little.

“Do you promise, brother?”

Adonis sees his sister Amara’s eyes looking directly at him with hope. His head starts to sweat, but he still answers her.

“Of course! I promise.”

After hearing this, Amara starts giggling and replies to him while smiling.

“Than, I forgive you.”

As they finish talking, they hear their father say.

“Everyone, it’s time to leave for the Royal Palace.”

There were three carriages in front of them. The carriage in the front was the Grand Duke’s carriage, made of rare materials, and had powerful protection spells on them.

The other two carriages behind them were for knights and maids. It also had some protection spells on them.

After everyone sat on their carriages, the carriage driver started moving them at full speed in the direction of the Royal Palace.

Adonis was a lazy person like always. He quickly fell asleep without a worry in the carriage. After 3 hours, he heard a familiar voice that woke him up.

“Your Graces! Welcome To the Royal Palace of the Elders.”
