4. Long lost friend?

Author's POV

Dimitri impatiently knocked on the door of the triplets bedroom. He heard a 'come in' and quickly opened it.

The trio were relaxing and enjoying their personal time. 

Dimitri bowed in front of them and greeted them.

"Kings, your grandmother is here... I think she heard what happened with Eliana..."

He explained.

"Send her in..."

Vincent sighed annoyingly. Their grandmother was a powerful witch who made Robert an original vampire. She was powerful but evil, she only cared about power and status nothing else, treating others like trash specially humans.

"Why is that bitch here..."

Nicolai said boringly.

"Careful with your language boy..."

The brothers head snapped towards the source of voice and all of them glared at the woman who was standing in front of them. 

Their grandmother Elizabeth, she was looking younger than her real age. No one could guess that this young woman is actually someone's grandmother. Her blonde hair was reaching till her mid back and those blue eyes held only one emotion, anger.

"Or what..."

Nicolai stood in front of her with a threatening tone, challanging her.

"Nico..."

Vincent placed his hand on his shoulder and pulled him away from her. She was powerful and Vincent knew that this fight will cause problem to both the parties.

"Why are you here, grandmother..."

Vincent asked and Elizabeth closed her eyes in annoyance. She was young in looks but by calling her grandmother they never failed to remind her how old she is. Almost five thousand years old.

"What the hell were you thinking while treating Eliana like that. Do you have any idea what you have done, you stupid boys..."

She growled and the triplets started fuming in anger. Even if she was their grandmother she had no right to disrespect them, they only respect their father and no one else.

All three of them growled back, their fangs came out and their eyes glowed in red colour. They were ready to tear Elizabeth in half but their beasts didn't scare her. She was standing bravely in her place ready to return their attacks.

"Enough all of you..."

A strong dominating voice roared and the trio quickly took a step back. It was their father, Robert. 

Robert was a tall and build man with typical vampire looks, blue eyes and pale icy skin. He was a man of his words and a wise king.

"How many times have I told you to stay away from them..."

He glared at his mother. No doubt he respects her but he never supported her in her evil doings.

"Keep hold on your monsters Robert, otherwise it won't take long to turn your empire into dust... They have offended our important alliance..."

Elizabeth stated firmly while the trio stood there unaffected but the word monster pierced deep in their hearts.

"Get out... And don't you dare call them that..."

Robert growled. Elizabeth shook her head disappointingly and left the room.

Robert turned towards his sons and sighed.

"Why?..."

"She was talking rubbish about our mate..."

Nicolai answered.

Robert rubbed his forehead frustratingly.

"Do you still think you have a mate son?..."

"We don't think, we believe. She exists father, we just have to find her."

Vincent stated confidently.

Robert looked at Lucifer but Lucifer looked away, he was mad at his father as he fixed their marriage with Eliana. Lucifer never felt love for anyone, not even for his father he just respects him. 

"We know you care about us father but you need to understand that we can't let someone in just like that. We belong to our mate..."

Nicolai argued.

"Fine I won't force you to marry anyone, anyway it's of no use. I am just here to announce something important."

Robert said and the triplets nodded.

"I am going out of country. I have to take care of something. I don't know how much time it will take, maybe years or decades."

"Is there something serious, do you need our help."

Vincent asked and Robert shook his head.

"No son, you can't help me in this."

"What is it?..."

Nicolai asked.

"I am going to find my long lost friend. I have tried everything in my power but it was of no use till now. It's been centuries since I am trying to find that person but nothing worked. But I won't give up, I have to find that person."

Robert explained and this was the first time that the triplets noticed pain in his voice.

"Someone important?..."

Nicolai inquired.

"Very much important. I have to find out where that person suddenly vanished, I am worried."

"We are sure you will find that person father just call us if you need any help."

Vincent assured him and Robert smiled.

"Sure son."

"You three are going somewhere?..."

Robert asked when he saw them ready in their suits.

"Yes we have bought the abandoned land outside the city. We are thinking of building a hotel there. It's more like an abandoned castel actually..."

Nicolai explained.

"Good..."

Robert nodded in approvement.

All of them bid goodbye to their father and head towards the abandoned place.

Only if they knew that the place they bought holds many buried secret which will change their life forever.
