" Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are ." —- Benjamin Franklin
🌘🌕🌙🌕
Dr. Smith, the doctor that taking good care of my baby sister, said that she needs to stay at the hospital for another two days after she woke up, just to make sure that she's perfectly fine.
It's absolutely great chance for us to fixed our house that needs only minor fixing. Dionysus hired the best to work on that and if I am correct it will be ready before Artemis' discharge from the hospital.
Speaking of her, when she learned that Violeta was being detained in jail, her happiness was unfathomable. She said that she deserved to face the consequences for everything that she did to her mother, to her and to other people that she possibly abuse but afraid to come out because she's quite a powerful woman, hard to admit but that is true.
Putting her behind bars while waiting for the official trial was not hard though. Tyler, the one who worked out on getting the fingerprints on Diana's diary, really did a good job. Turned out Me, Hades, Artemis and Violeta's fingerprints were all present at the diary and it was a strong evidence against her aside from the witness statement that Artemis gave to the authorities.
Moreover, Apollo have gotten access to her cellphone and we found out that she's getting help from someone named Martin and since then we all working to hunt this man, who's also deserved to go in jail for being her accomplice for doing her crime.
I know you're all wondering why we didn't just kill her, but after we'd talked, the five of us, we decided to just put her in prison. Killing her in an instant is not satisfying for all of us and hurting her slowly would be so inhumane as she was still our birth mother.
Even we love to, we cannot erase that fact and for that it is better that the justice be served for her and that is quite enough for us, for now.
And since Violeta was out in the picture now, Atty. Brown couldn't express his happiness about the situation. I have no idea why his reaction was like that, but he confessed that he received number of threats from her because of my grandfather's last will, so let us just say that he was finally relieved from any harm. I also informed him that he can come to our newly renovated mansion after three days.

So now, here we are— sitting on my office while drinking black coffee. Artemis is currently with Mrs. Hidalgo's class that even she wanted to meet Atty. Brown, her education should always come first.
"So, Mr. De Luca, maybe we can start now?" I heard him say after sipping my black coffee.
"Yes, you may start Atty." I told him.
As he reads my late grandfather's last will, I couldn't believe of what I'm hearing from him right now. , 50% of all the property and the ROSSI EMPIRE ENTERPRISE will go to Artemis as being the only child of her late mother, Diana. , when my late grandpa found out everything about Violeta's abused towards Diana, until the last minute of his life, he changed his will without her knowledge. He asked Atty. Brown to state clearly that the 50% will not going to Violeta but to us, her children.
It was also mentioned that it will be equally divided to all her children, in short, the other half will be divided into five.
The funny thing is, and the reason why my smile never falter is that my little sister would be the youngest Billionaire and President of the Rossi Empire.
Imagine how she will bossed around all her employees.
But I think she will be the nicest President, because she is such an angel, not only to us but to others.
"Well, Mr. De Luca, since you're her eldest and legal guardian, I hope you understand that you will be the one who will sit as the President on her behalf until she's capable to fulfill her duty." He added.
"There's no problem for me. You can send all the reports and documents that needed to be signed and we will do the visitation at the company one of this days." He smile and look satisfied with my answer and I know that he's ecstatic that I'm now the in-charge to run the company.
I have no idea about Violeta's Management but I guess it wasn't good given her reputation. And being one of the best in this field, I will try my best to correct the wrong and improve what needs to be improved.
After few minutes, someone knocks on my door and I know that it's Artemis because she's the only respectful-sibling of mine that always do that. When I said 'come in', her mop of redhair immediately appeared, followed by breathtaking smile.

"Come here." I told her. She didn't walk towards me, she run!
And it's because she wants to show me her new stars on her hands.
"See this Ari? Mrs. Hidalgo gave me another stars. Yay!" She squeaks and closed her mouth abruptly when she realized that we're not alone.
"Hi." She greets him, but he didn't reply on her, he just stared at her in disbelief.
"My God! D-Diana? Oh! I am so sorry, forgive me Ms. Selene. I'm just so happy that I see you personally. You're literally the photocopy of your mother except your eyes. C-Can I, Ms. Selene— I mean to hug you?" He asked in tearful eyes and soft tone. I don't have any problem with that because he seems a good man for me.
I am about to ask Artemis but before I could do that, she approaches him in slow pace and placed herself into his chest. And I was stunned when I saw tears on his eyes.
"I am so sorry about your mother— she's like a daughter to me you know. She's the sweetest and kindness thing and I was so devastated when I found out everything that happened to her. I am sorry Selene for acting like this. It's just that I never had the chance to hug her before she left the Rossi's house and when she passed away— I even had no chance to see her for the last time." He said and I heard how my baby sister sobs on his chest. I want to comfort her but I think she likes to hear everything about her mommy from him.
"You don't have to say sorry. I knew you from her diary, he said that Mr. Brown always gave her chocolates secretly, because grandpa don't like because Mommy always go wild when she ate her candies and chocolates." His eyes widened on her statement as he looks at me in astonishment.
"She reads Diana's diary." And speaking of Diary, until now I didn't finish it, and I agreed with Apollo on his statement that the Diary will takes a month and I wish I am like Artemis with ability to memorize so easily.
"Don't be sad Mr. Brown, if I get a chance to talk to my mommy again, I will let her know that you miss her. And we can be friends if you like." She told him and offered her hand for handshake, he accepts it and smile at her. His eyes glints with amusement of how mature and funny at the same time she is.
"I cannot believe that I will be friend with a five year- old, Mr. De Luca as I, myself is a grandfather." He told me and both of us chuckled at his statement.
Soon, Atty. Brown bids goodbye but not before meeting my other brothers as they are also a family, since he was my grandpa's bestfriend.
After he left, we gathered on our living room because in minute, our lunch will be served.
"So you mean, my little sister, aged 5, might be the youngest billionaire in this country? Wow!" Apollo states. We are not yet so sure if she is the youngest, but so far, I never heard anyone as young as her, so maybe she is.
"So Princesd, I think we have to go shopping for your business suit then?" Eros asked her playfully that brought smile on her beautiful face.
"You mean, like Mommy's dress when she was going to her office? Yes!" She squeaks and dance, that Hades couldn't control himself but lift her tiny body and throw her up in the air. She let out a loud giggles that is so comforting to hear everytime Hades catches her. But she has to stop for a moment because of her asthma, for precaution.
"Bambina that's enough for now, okay? Hades will play with you again later." She nods her head as she understood why I'm saying that.
And being the sweetest sister, and for me to not feel guilty —- she said that she doesn't want us to be worried, that's why she will avoid everything that will trigger her asthma and that is why I love her so much.

How to raise a Hive Queen
This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures. The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm. This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl. I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve. If you like this story also check out my other fiction "To former Glory" here on Royal Road :D

The Emperor's Chef
"Cook like your life depends on it, kid. Because it does." Charles had an enviable future lined up for him. Training from the age of five by some of the finest chefs in the world. Schooling at a top culinary academy in the capital. An honorable position as heir to House Boulier, a line of merchant-lords who have charmed the rich and powerful with their cooking for centuries. And in a single night, it all burned to ash. When the outbreak of war destroys his hometown, Charles is charged with escorting his family’s sacred treasure—a recipe book passed down for untold generations—out of harm's way. But his simple mission grows complicated when he’s captured by one of the most feared battalions in the world: the Spears of Mercy. Life as a prisoner in their war camp is brutal and uncertain. Charles has few allies and even fewer strengths to rely on. Only his skills in the culinary arts, honed over a lifetime in the kitchen, are deemed useful enough to keep him alive another day. But he’s not out of hope just yet. With a dash of wit, a pinch of luck, and some very creative cooking, he might just find a way to recover his family’s legacy and take back his freedom. This project is a food-themed fantasy that centers on cooking and chefs. The setting spans a wide world featuring ingredients/recipes both real and inspired by traditional fantasy. I'll eventually be publishing it as a full-length novel (or series of novels depending on length). These are the first draft chapters. I'll likely be re-writing more than once, then editing before publishing, so impressions and feedback are quite welcome. If you like the story so far and you're interested in being an early reviewer for the final product, feel free to message me. I'm looking for an artist to make some concept art and a cover (the cover shown here is just a temporary placeholder). A stand-alone novel for now, but it may turn into a series down the road.
