"YOU ARE just a fucking child, Thaddeus

"YOU ARE just a fucking child, Thaddeus. Let go of that knife!" A deadly smile curved on the kid's lips upon watching the old man in front him.

"If I'm just a fucking child in your eyes, then why are you trembling on your knees right now?" He tightened the grip on the knife before wiping a drip of blood on his cheeks.

"I'm going to ask you for the last time, Hector."

Thaddeus sat in front the trembling man before placing his weapon on his neck. "Where did I come from? The Knights' couple, am I really their eldest son?"

"Where did y-you get that kind of information? No one knows about that!" takot na sigaw nito.

Galit niyang binaon ang kutsilyo sa leeg ng lalaki dahilan para manlaki ang mga mata nito sa kaba. "I'm not wasting my time here to hear your opinion about my questions. Answer me before I lose my patience, Hector. Who the fuck I am?!"

"You're their eldest son!"

Thaddeus' eyes widened. "Then what the fuck am I doing here in this charity?"

"Cronus decided to deny you as his child because your mother is his mistress. You're not supposed to be born before Avenight, kaya hindi ka niya puwedeng ianunsyo na panganay niyang anak. Dahil hindi ka galing sa legal niyang asawa! Your existence should have never happened in the first place because their clan will be in chaos. Naiintindihan mo? Kahit kailan ay hindi ka nila tatanggapin dahil para sa kanilang lahat, si Avenight ang panganay at siya ang dapat umupo sa trono kapalit ng tatay mo!"

His eyes darkened upon hearing that explanation. Parang isang bombang sumabog sa harapan niya ang lahat-lahat.

He bit his lower lip to stop himself from shouting in anger. "I suffered in my adoptive parents for three fucking years because of this. I fucking suffered on the streets for another three years because they neglected me?" hindi niya makapaniwalang tanong.

"That makes sense." Galit niyang tinapon ang kutsilyong hawak bago mapasabunot sa sarili. "I spent eleven years around people I don't know just for them to have a peaceful life. I get it now."

"You can't tell them about your identity, Thaddeus. Nagmamakaawa ako sa 'yo. Magkakagulo silang--"

"At hindi nagulo ang buhay ko?!" He angrily grabbed the old man's collar. "My life was a fucking mess ever since. I have nothing to lose anymore because I spent all my life living with strangers in this fucking charity. In the hands of those horrible Americans. And they're all happy with their lives after my father neglected me."

"And you, telling me that my half brother is living the life I wanted, makes me fucking mad." Galit niyang binitawan ang matanda bago humakbang papaatras dito.

"I'll make them suffer with the lies they created. That seems fucking fair."
