"Bye, everyone!"
Asty waved her hands at their fading silhouettes. Noelle, Mrs. Pickinns waved back at the departing carriage."Be careful, Asty. Don't lean out too much, you'll get hit by a tree..." Lana cautioned her.Asty withdrew from the window and properly sits on her chair. "Are we heading to the palace?" she asked them."Yes." Chaol confirmed. "The king will always want to see your well-being."Asty nodded. "Okay."It took a long amount of time before the carriage finally reached the capital, Asty was again, showered by that feeling of warmth as she gazed at the beautiful grandeur of the soaring palace towers.

Chaol was still in a state of shock.'What in the world did I just hear?'Asty too, was stunned hearing the king's invitation for her. Her cheeks started to get flushed and she started to part her lips to speak."I cannot allow that," Chaol answered before she could. He started at the king with a dead expression and tapped his finger upon the table.The other Night Hallows were also very speechless to even say a word. Their mouths were hanging open as they observed the King's and Chaol's intimidating auras. They felt sorry for Asty for being sandwiched between the two."Why not, Count Chaol? It wasn't you who I asked for a dance. It's Asty." he sharply replied back, slightly amused at how agitated the count looked."Well, as her guardian and keeper, I won't allow it." Chaol firmly told him. "End of discussion.""You don't get to inside rules inside

Yvonne who was now in charge of navigating the carriage started to lead the horse."How did you find today's visit, Asty?" Chaol asked the woman beside her, nonchalantly as he pulled a cigarette."Still fun as it was before, thank you for taking me out today, Chaol.""Of course."There was an awkward silence between them that Lana and Owl could see. At first, they tried to ignore it, but Chaol was too obvious to them. They pretended a cough to a little to signal him of his very obvious actions. Chaol glared at them and rolled his eyes.Asty stared at him for much longer which Chaol immediately noticed. He turned his head on her and raised a brow. "What is it?""N-Nothing..."Chaol nudged Owl's foot and dilated his pupils, asking him wh

"I want to see my little sister." Everyone couldn't move a muscle because of what they had just heard. Chaol stared at him, closely. How did he not notice? Othello was a tall man, with spiky bright red hair, almost similar to Asty's color palette. He was reckless, very challenging, and witted, which very much like her. But his eyes couldn't still believe it. He slowly turned his head to check Asty. Instead, she found her staring at Othello, her eyes wide open and her brows furrowed in puzzlement. "I'm sorry, what?" Owl broke the silence that went on for minutes. Othello stretched his limbs casually, feeling good about his grand entrance. "I'm Othello Cortell, Asty's older brother." he said with a dead tone at Chaol, asserting his dominance and responsibility over him. Chaol took a step back, shocked beyond belief with a hand on his mouth. "Are you playing with me, Othello?" "No, dumbass." he instantly replied. "I was bo

Being a brother is always hard. Not only that you have to remain as the father figure of your younger siblings, but you are also the strength of your mother to assist her when your father is away.And despite all that, Othello had nothing to worry about.It wasn't hard for him, because he never experienced becoming one, as he had already left the side of his sister when she was born, and came back late to see her.If he had the power to go back in time, he would. He would leap down from the trees and approach her playing with the sand and sticks. He would tap her on the shoulder and tell her that she was her brother.But he couldn't.He didn't want Asty to get involved with the things he started when he left.

"Excuse me,"Othello stood up and abruptly dragged his feet outside the dining hall, leaving his plate of food half-full. Chaol, who was bringing a few portions of salmon in his mouth, looks at Asty.He saw how her eyes lowered and how her shoulder slumped down. She had already finished her food, thankfully."Chaol," she called out to him, to which he immediately responded."I'm listening.""Would you tell me more about my brother?"Chaol puts down his utensils and wiped the stain from his lips gently with the napkin. He then fixed his robe, making sure that he was feeling comfortable for the storytelling."Your brother, is a handful man."Asty looked at him apologetically. "I'm sorry about him.""Disciplining him was tedious and kept doing things that nobody in this household wanted him to do. He sucked at every chore he was assigned to and only exploited us of food and shelter. He did nothing to contribute and was rath

Othello gritted his teeth when his sister starts to walk away from him. She didn't want to return home with him, and that makes him worry more. He cannot leave her in here for much longer.Because he knew what fate had in store for her. He could see him only by looking at her from afar, especially when his former master, Chaol Dremurr comes in view.He clenched his calloused fists into a tight ball.'That moron should've done some research before lunging onto half-assed decisions!' he cursed under his breath. The anger he felt for the count was unbearable.Suddenly, he hears a faint clap behind him. He turned himself backward in a compelling and predatory manner, which caused the male to stop dead at his tracks.Everyone that approached him when he's pissed off, dies."How miserable.""This game that you started isn't entertaining Chaol." he snickered at him bitterly.

Chaol found a boy in the woods.It was on the 3rd of May, while the sun sets from the horizons when he found him. He was pale as snow, crouching beside the huge redwood, with his knees tucked against his arms. His eyes were fixed in a blank distance ahead of him. The young boy was flimsy and short. His eyes were dead and his lips were chapped and blue.Chaol was not very fond of adopting children into his castle, but there were times when there was an exception. He would only invite them if he sees them fit to live and serve him.He gently approached him and lowered himself to call out to him, softly."Hello there...""Get lost." the boy immediately spat at him. "Get lost or I will kill you.""Unfortunately, you can't." Chaol mimics a sad face and sat beside him. "So, how did you die?""I'm not dead." he hissed at him."A half breed then? Interesting, I haven't talked to a mongrel such as you are, in years."

It took many months before Chaol finally learned the little boy's name. He let him stay inside his castle but the other inhabitants weren't too happy about it."Othello!" the garden yelled from afar, holding the rake in his hands.Othello emerged from behind the shed, with his head lowered to the ground. He scratched the back of his nape and made the 'tsk' sound."Come here, boy." the gardener invited him.But Othello knew well that he wasn't going to be very friendly with him. He had broken the shovel of the gardener a few days ago and hid it behind the bushes."Othello." the gardener bellowed at him. "Would you care to explain what the hell is this?" he showed him the two broken pieces of the shovel in his hands. "How in the goddamn world did this break, Othello?"The shovel was snapped into two."I didn't do it." he lied to him."Your face says it all." the gardener hissed at him. "Why do you have to lie, goddamn it?"
