End of Void

We reached to the palace in no time and were ready to enter to the ceremony before the announcer announced our name.Suddenly a loud noise came from the other side. ”well well well if it isn the infamous Duke family and our beloved brother ”Stephen Woodwill said with sarcastic tone.He is another part of this Kingdom and well the left hand of the royal family same as us.He named father as a brother because our families were doing the same job(his assumption).However he seemed to despise the idea of our family being close and maintaining internal relationship with the royals compared to his.Just like his corrupted frowned face with nothing but wrinkles his supiority complex was corrupted and degraded as well.He hated being outshined and end up loosing.

”its good to see you too Stephen ”my father said with robotic tone like he was mimicking a robot.Stephen grinned and walked towards us taking each step forward with loud footstep untill he reached us and said ”its great to see you too BROTHER.I hope we get to enjoy this ceremony together and deepen the relationship between our fellow families ”he said as he looked towards Lilia.We all knew what he was trying to pull right here.It had been over one whole year since he has been pestering my father to marry Lilia and his son Steph in order to strengthen our bond(open acces to our house with the luxury of extra information)but he always refused clearly and till now he hasn given up CLEARLY.

”well see about that ”my father said as he glared towards Stephen making him flinch and retreat cowardly by saying ”sure sure there is no need to rush.After all life is full of surprises and young youthfulness ”he said with twitched smile. ”now then if you will excuse me ” he said as he walked towards his family with the tail between his legs.

”Sometimes I wish I could gauge out that bastards one eye and feed it to him by making and eye soup along with his fingers as the side dish ”Lilia said in an subtle whisper which could barely be heard but our family was immune to not hearing even a slight whisper. ”Now now Lilia its not very lady like of you to say such gruesome things in that pretty dress of yours ”Rhyle said with a smile. ”After all two years from now he will be the first person to be destroyed by our hands and I will let you have him since Im very merciful ”a grin appeared on his face as he saw Lilia clearly unbothered by stuff he said and continue to look towards the direction of Stephen with resentment.

”You should keep your voice low if you want your tongue to still be intact with your body ”my father said with the threatening tone making Rhyles flinch and move behind swiftly.This is it.This is our familys ugly reality.We are all nothing but wolves disguised in the sheeps cloth.From the outsiders point of view we might look like an admirable family with single father and harmonious bond between each member but in reality we are nothing but pawns made for the destruction of this Kingdom.

Our family is the right hand of the royal family on the surface but deep down we are a part of an underworld organization working together to cut out the monarchy rule of the king and end the system of royalty for good.Thats how it is.

After the heated argument on the entrance the announcer finally announced our name as we enter to the hall filled with all the prestigious nobles and powerful people.I along with my family moved towards the centre and scattered across the place to do our mission that is to gather new information.We all were talking to other nobles disguising our selves with the angel like aura like we were the purest being in the whole planet.

”I hope everyone pays attention because his Highness the king and her Highness the queen are now entering the hall with their family ”the announcer announced with the balanced rythem and straight tone.We all glaced towards the gate as the royal family entered inside the hall oozing nothing but pressure and intimidation and we all bowed down to them with our heads low.

”Rise ”the king commanded with the husky deep voice and we all looked up as we were commanded to. ”As you all know today is my beloved sons birthday and his social debutante so I would like all of you to celebrate this glorious days with happiness and smile ”he said with proud and delighted expression as his second son stood beside him.Im no sculpturist nor an artist but even I can tell that the face over there is not normal and was made to the perfection.

Black hair with hazel eyes,cheekbones so detailed and the jawline so sharp,that black straight hair that could cover his half of the forehead if let down or wet,that broad shoulder with toned muscle and those long vainy hands folded Infront of his chest and lips red as a drop of blood.Im not someone who falls for looks a guy could serves right away no matter how attractive they might be but holy shit I doubt that I could ever forget that face over there.Still if it weren for him being a royalty and me being their so called doom I would have already kidnapped him,pack him in my carriage and make him stay with me.

haa..who am I kidding I would rather die than commit myself to other people on the first place but still whoever that bombshell ends up with that girl will be the luckiest person in the whole world or lets say book.

After the brief speech made by the king we all moved to our own work and scattered around gathering information when suddenly Rhys grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the dinner table leaving the guest I was talking to in confusion.I was surprised by the sudden movement but I glared at him as he took me away.He droped my hand after we reached the table and looked around to other siblings giving them a sign to gather around. ”I would love to wash my hand right now and this very moment or else the bacteria in my hands will chew it all out without leaving anything ”I said as I looked towards our sibling approaching us.Rhyes looked at me with slightly offended but amused smug as he said ”don treat me like a bacteria serie or else this bacteria might really chew your hands out ”.

”You deserve it ”.I said with the cold icy expression while he looked like he would snap my head any moment if it weren for the people and my father over there and I was slightly disappointed as well considering that I could have had an opportunity to finally lift the burden of this world but oh well thats how life is.He continued to glare at me while all the sibling were present and were ready to dissguss. ”So made any new acquaintance? ”(gather any new information?)I asked as they watched me.

”yes few actually ”Lilia said with a smile while Noah shook his head in disapproval.I didn expect him to do this shady job anyway cause he was ok.Not pure but ok.

I didn bother asking Rhys cause I didn wanted to hear his voice but he spoke anyway ” me too,it seems like there is quite new relationship we could improve and built(new possible threats to deal with) ”. ”Then lets continue to do our job as we are responsible to maintain the piece of this Kingdom and for that we need strong and healthy relation with our acquaintance (continue to reaserch the family or information that could be a great threat)

we will discuss the details later. ”I said as I grabbed the juice from the other side ignoring Rhys annoyed expression and Lilias amused smile along with Noahs proud smug.

Rhys and Lilia might be older than me(on the surface)but they are clearly not the head.I was adopted when my mother was still alive meaning Im my fathers first child.The child he chose not because he was looking for something but because he found something.And that was power a heavy dangerous power.
