R U L E

His cold eyes blankly wandered around the view of pleasant stable clouds with a calm rhythm.

Sitting majestically on his private jet, master Ethan Thompson seemed to be in his deep thoughts while taking a sip from his glass of expensive scotch costing great thousands.

A serious look was decorated on his features, though his eyes seemed unbothered.

It has been years since he stepped in his father's territory. Years could it be? Or maybe a decade you could name roughly.

It was 10 years ago, when he walked off his father's life with his mother. He walked away and never he turned back.

Why you must ask?

Because his parents were separated, his mother bore the hell and he witnessed it all. Leaving the monster father was his decision which he didn't care to give second thought to.

Master Ethan was actually one strong boy.

Joining his mother's estate was not complicated for the boy of 15, acknowledging the fact that both of his parents belonged to the royal mains...

He knew mother's life had no more struggle after that and obviously so did he. Cause mother being the only heir to her heritage caused Ethan to be her successor, which was indeed one heavy privilege for him.

He was titled as the master of Sebastian's. Though he always named Thompson... His father's surname!

Mother lived no longer to see him ruling. That was a pity though.

Master Ethan was young indeed but he got much more stronger after his loss. He never felt the want of the paternal assets and guidance, this has always been an advantage for master Ethan.

He ruled his mother's territory for long years of 10, just as majestic his life sounded he lived the same majestic legacy too.

As it has always been running away from the monster father which he did, he found a life where he needed none.

People worshipped him like god in his maternal territory, he had no complains because he had much more than enough to live for.

Then why was he returning again after so many years? To the same monster father of his?

Master Ethan obviously didn't need much more than he already had.

Yet one bitter fact was still valid... him existing the only heir of great Thompson's throne too. The legacy his father owned once now was seeking for master Ethan's leadership, which was why he was called at this time when needed.

He was approached countless times.

They need to handle him the business, the properties, the heritage of Thompson's. Explains why, his maternal heritage satisfied him enough but yet his paternal throne was what he aimed.

And he got it at his feet without any struggle.

Maybe sure, he had the hatred burning inside his heart all these years for his father but Thompson's throne always had an heir, which was him.

That fact could never be changed. Master Ethan knew his responsibilities way too well.

He was the next ruler to be of Thompson's, that was obvious. Though he was feeling mixed emotions attacking his guts at the moment, he didn't let any to affect his heart at all.

He felt too foreign to be back. It's his hometown, his own land.

Maybe strange too because this very land of his was where he belonged first. His paternal land was it...

After 10 long years of departure, he knew he naturally had to come back to his home to perform his responsibilities. He knew, this is where he belonged after all.

Also at the end of every discussions, he was the only successor of his father's assets like he was the owner of his late mother's legacy.

His father would need him someday, he knew.

But that someday came very unexpectedly. He felt too strange now!

Raising his glass of rich scotch up to his lips to sip on it again, master Ethan gulped the bitter liquid down his throat in all one go as it burned his throat a bit.

Before settling the empty glass on the table in front of him without any care, he sighed an angry sigh.

His eyes darkened as he breathed out blankly, hating on the fact that all those feelings which were bothering and disturbing him at this moment related to his other parent.

His jaw clench tightly.

Inheriting the same stubborn and aggressive traits from from his father, his ego was reacting to submit himself to his father's attendance yet again.

How can someone hate his own parent that much? Maybe master Ethan was reasonable too cause that very parent was the cause of his mother's painful death.

Master Ethan hated his father to no limits.

Just in the moment of heat, master Ethan's secretary walked inside his space gaining the attention in no time with his speech interrupting master's thoughts.

"Master Ethan we will be landing in 5 minutes, do you need me to prepare anything for you?"

The man in his late 40s uttered gaining his attention as master Ethan moved his dark eyes up towards him blankly before shaking his head strictly.

He panted in rage. His eyes were red threateningly.

"Shouldn't be me preparing anything, Evix."

Master Ethan decorated an arrogant yet mysterious smirk on his features while getting the right idea about it all his secretary, Evix didn't seem to be much surprised.

Master Ethan had pure wrath inside his heart for his father, he hated his birth giver very much and explains well why...

Evix cleared his throat in a professional manner.

"Master, what you mean is?"

Questioning master Ethan, the secretary decided to wait a while as soon the charming man of 25 moved his eyes towards him with no emotions but only arrogance.

"Narrate me the plans for tonight."

Rather than answering, master Ethan instead threw another question towards his secretary who breathed out blankly.

Something was up with master Ethan and his secretary could feel it clearly.

He was up to something!

"You will be escorted directly to the royal mansion to have dinner with big master-"

As Evix started narrating the plans of further, master Ethan shook his head cutting his secretary off in the middle.

With his face having no emotions, he seemed serious.

"Cut that off!"

Ordered, master Ethan with arrogance. It was as if Evix spoke something wrong.

"Pardon?"

The secretary begged pardon uneasily as master Ethan stood up from his seat to face his secretary with seriousness.

His features has always been rude and cold, it was not a surprise as nobody yet saw master Ethan smiling since his mother's tragical demise.

He was a man of crude attitude, he gets angry very quickly and hates mistakes. Master Ethan was the type to never be taken easily.

And what made the secretary easily was him reacting so aggressively all of a sudden.

"I will be visiting the headquarters first then meet few of my friends. I will have my dinner with them!"

Master Ethan announced his plans as his secretary's eyes went wide in utter disbelief.

The schedule was itself arranged by master Ethan's father.

As it was going to be his welcome today in Thompson's household after so many years, the first person master Ethan should be meeting is his father.

To greet him.

That's the rule... to greet the higher power first but like master Ethan would refuse to do so, he could commit a high disrespect for his father whom he didn't meet for 10 long years.

This could be a literal disaster.

"But big master is waiting for your return in the mansion since morning-"

Evis uttered in offence to that idea, master Ethan sure was powerful enough to order everyone but Evis always held the guts to guide master Ethan.

Maybe it was because Evis stayed with master Ethan since the start of his rule, since master Ethan was just a child...

Evix guided him all the way to up where he is now and also taught him business when he knew nothing about.

Evix was the most closest person to master Ethan. The most trusted one too.

Just like how gold needs shaping, Evix shaped master Ethan as a ruler of Sebastian's...

But now the question sure bothered everyone about him being the ruler of Thompson's like the ruler of Sebastian's at the same time.

Eventually master Ethan was the only heir to both his mother's and his father's rule. He should rule both and he should monitor both.

Everyone had the idea of it.

Evix's concern seemingly didn't bothered master Ethan who looked as if he unheard his words, cutting him off master Ethan surprised Evis with his next statement.

"I will be leaving alone so arrange a personal car for me, Evix!"

Ordering, master Ethan obviously didn't care a bit about what his secretary was saying, instead throwing an order to him master Ethan acted clearly suspicious.

Evix had well idea why...

"Master you can't be seen in public here before the press conference, what if someone recognises you at the headquarters?"

Showing his dislike towards the idea of master Ethan going anywhere alone, Evix stepped forward towards master Ethan to alert him strictly.

Obviously it was dangerous, master Ethan never went alone anywhere before. He owned strict securities who have guided him since he was throned as Sebastian's throne holder.

It was so unusual for someone to commit that, especially master Ethan who after long years of 10 he was finally going to meet his father...

Still showing no interest in the event he rather planned to avoid him?

"What about it?"

Master Ethan questioned darkly, his tone sounded clearly careless.

Evix frowned seriously before shaking his head.

"Leaving all alone is a huge risk, you can face danger. Before your coronation, big master ordered to escort you safely to the royal mansion where you will be having dinner with him and staying night at."
