-----------------------------------------------------------
"So are you telling me that mother knew who you were all along?"
Bright's eyes rounded up big as the realization hit him
"Yes. Your father too. They knew I was the son of Laurence and Jane since I came here at 15. I just did not want them to tell you or any of the princes because I figured out me telling it would be much more convinience."
"Yes... convinience for heart attacks..."
Bright muttered making Win laugh
"Aow, whose heart got attacked?"
Win mocked him to which Bright pouted grumpily.
Just then the chamber door was knocked and Apo's voice was heard.
"Prince Bright, may I come in?"
"Permission granted."
Bright replied instantly. He knew it has to be something really important if Apo himself comes.
"Prince, the Crown Prince requires you and Sir Win to be present at his chambers as soon as possible"
"Is this something related to the raid of the North?"
Bright asked as the reporting was finished and Apo nodded.
"Let's go. Do we need to fetch Brother Mew and Gulf as well?"
Bright asked again
"Yes sir. But Sir Tul already attended there."
Came the reply
"It's okay. Let's go with them together."
With that being said Bright along with Win and Apo headed towards the chambers of Prince Mew.
"Phi... I'm coming in."
Was all Bright said as he opened the chamber door. Not like he would ever knock for permission anyway.
"Nice way to come in. Who taught you courtesy?"
Mew asked grumpily peeping from the behind of Tul who apparently seemed to explaining him about the situation and Gulf immediately waved at Bright and Win playfully making Mew roll his eyes.
"Stop being grumpy."
Bright pouted as he marched forward his brother while Win immediately joined the company of Gulf.
"So what bought my precious little brother here?"
Mew asked smirking and Bright immediately smirked back
"Sarcastic much?"
He asked as he sat on the working desk of Mew
"You are more like a monkey than a prince"
Mew retorted
"Well not my fault you are born a big brother with responsibilities and I'm born the younger one who can enjoy"
The little prince shrugged earning a slight smack on his arm from Mew
"You tongue has sharpened. It seems Win is being a pretty chaotic influence. Speaking of which.... where's Win and Gulf?"
You could see Mew's face panicking at the realisation of the missing duo and not that it can be blamed.
"Oh so this is your favourite pyjama? It seems comfy. Sunflowers huh? It's cute. I want to wear it too"
Win said looking at the small sunflower designed pyjama which Gulf calls his favourite and right now both of them were so busy with their own little chat that they did not realize four people staring at them
One too whipped with hearty eyes, the other rolling his eyes but still smiling, another giggling and shaking his head while the other bugger... totally confused of what's wrong with the kids
(A/N- Guess who is who)
"But why is your pyjama in Prince Mew's room?"
Win asked totally confused and Gulf's little blush made him even more confused
"Because he sleeps here."
Bright said finally joining the conversation and Win sweared he saw fifty shades of red in Gulf's face.
"But why does Gulf sleep here?"
Win asked again a question mark hanging over his head and instead of answering Bright just kept looking at him smirking.
After a while of pure confusion, Win's mouth suddenly took the O shape, and then his face turned pink and then the bunny boy started to giggle
"So you and Prince Mew are a kind of... a thing?"
Win asked softly while fidgeting his fingers and Bright immediately pulled the younger boy away from Win's arm before he could make Gulf even more embarassed.
"You know what Phi? Forget about us going together. I will head to Brother Mile's chambers first. You come with Apo, Tul and Gulf."
Bright dragged a giggling Win out of the chamber and the last thing the people in the chamber heard from Bright's voice before they totally disappeared was
"Yes Win. They are a thing, just like us okay?"
"But we don't sleep together na Phi."
That was Win and everyone immediately dissolved into laughter at their antics.
"So that is our cue to go as well, I guess?"
Mew asked standing up from his chair and everyone bowed to him as they started following him.
************************************
At Crescent Liar
"Hello my little brother. Did you bring me good news?"
Arin washed his bloody hands on the nearby wash basin as he saw his younger brother or his right hand marching towards him in a good mood.
"Two good news! Which one do you want to hear first?"
The younger one sneered looking at the water now dissolving into light red mixed with blood.
"The most exciting one of course"
Arin gave his most decieving smile which made most of the times people mistake him for a god given angel which was the most reason that none knew he was the master behind the Crescent. To the general public, he was everything but an evil lord.
"Then let's start from the news of our very own fellow brother."
"What about that stupid asshole? Is he any different than kissing the ass of that prince?"
A sinister laugh escaped from Arin's mouth as Trevin started and it was joined by Trevin's evil laugh which echoed in the room
"Oh my my... no difference in that. But... he is soon about to learn what happens to traitors like him, specially... when he betrays his family."
"Mmm... indeed interesting. So what were the actions taken? You know I expect majestic moves from you on this."
"Of course brother I do. Gosh have faith in me."
Trevin squinted his eyes at his elder brother looking betrayed
"Well.. the last time I kept faith in someone and sent him to bring me the head of that fucking prince, that motherfucker ended up worshipping the godamned."
The aura around Arin suddenly turned dark and his voice took a lower octave which could scare anyone around him
"Y..you know I'm n..not like that..."
Trevin said stammering almost in a whisper and Arin's face immediately softened, his eyebrows ceasing back to its normal position once again.
"I know... I know..."
He said sighing deeply as he kept his hand softly on his younger brother's shoulder re-assuring him. He looked at the boy with an apologetic face and it seemed the boy acknowledged it as he smiled again.
"So back to where we were. I sent a letter informing how he should pay back for his treason and I also informed him that if he does not adhere, that we will reveal who he is and what was his original goal to begin with. Whether he agrees with us or not, it will be his downfall, isn't it? I don't think he will not adhere though, he fears the thing that will come to him if they find out he went to spy on them at the beginning."
Trevin explained and Arin's lips curled into a big smile.
"Indeed the best from you Trevin. Indeed the best. Make sure you reveal him even if he does as we say. He deserves it."
"Rest assured brother."
Trevin replied satisfied of the compliments he gained from the person whom he admired the most in his life and totally fulufilled by the fact that he can bring down the person he envied the most.
"So what about the girl?"
Arin said sitting down and Trevin took his seat opposite to him facing him.
"That is the second good news. We need to look out for her but the current situation is positive. Though it is difficult to abduct her since she is being protected by palace guards for some reason, still it is possible to keep our hands on her successfully at any time we want. Just a matter of bailing on the guards. Rotten gold diggers you know"
Trevin shrugged as he said the last part and once again the two brothers dissolved into a sinister laughter.
"Right it is that then. But I want you to find out why such an ordinary girl like her is getting royal guardians? Not like she is some worshipping angel."
"Rest assured. I will provide you with the information soon brother."
Trevin said smiling, glad about he could kiss the feet of his elder brother while doing his dirty work.
It was not yet known by any but Empire Alstair... better be careful to face a huge storm ahead and even a calm before the storm is highly unpredictable to happen.
************************************
"The way the North has been attacked is beyond normal and too much alertive to ignore."
The chambers of the Crown Prince was echoing with his low-toned voice.
The four princes and their four head bodyguards were surrounded around the working desk of the Crown Prince discussing about the raid and the atmosphere was highly tensed as Mew and Bright saw how much of an epic damage the North has faced last night.
Not that they have not seen raids before but this one was a bit too skeptical to not be stunned.
"This is... massive!"
Bright exclaimed as he went through the reports of the raid and his eyes grew bigger looking at the number of men who lost their lives in the battles.
"It is. This is the highest number of death counts we have ever had so far."
Mew said thougtfully clenching his jaw, an obvious sign of his inner tense.
"That is why I needed you two here as well."
Mile said gaining attention from both Mew and Bright which they took their eyes off the reports.
"On all ears."
Mew said.
"Be careful."
Mile said shorty and eyed both of them
"Of?"
Bright questioned back
"Of everything. Of your relevant areas, responsibilities, the amount of inside details you share and... the people you associate with. Specially the new bodyguards."
That relevant final sentence was pointed specifically at the youngest bodyguard in the house and Win instinctively looked taken aback by the remark.
"With all due respect, My Prince, are you talking about... me?"
Win asked looking confused not knowing how would he even have anything to do with all this.
"Well... you are the only one new here."
Mile shrugged
"Brother Mile... I think we came to an agreement..."
"Bright whether you like it or not, you have to accept the fact that he can be a spy as well. Your blindness may lead you somewhere dangerous. Mark my words!"
Mile said in a strict and a menacing tone and Bright's face clenched in anger and he was fuming.
"If you think of me like that, then I do not think I should be here at this discussion. Let me excuse myself."
Win said immediately seeing that Bright was running out of patience and he himself needed to calm down from the rude rebukes directed at him as he was non-exsistent
"I don't think anyone gave you permission for that."
Mile said standing straight, looking at Win as he was about to gulp him down
"I don't think Prince Bright would bother if I stay outside though"
Win said tilting his head, a little shade dripping in his voice totally irritated of the Crown Prince's endless hate towards him
"Well but I would care. You are not supposed to do anything I haven't allowed you to."
"I don't think your orders are what I work for, Sir."
Win replied back firmly as he got up to leave
"Win Metawin, you filthy peasant! Do you know who you are talking to?!"
Mile shouted as he marched towards Win with anger and without breaking eye contact and without loosing a single beat Win immediately replied, firm and rigid.
"I know Sir. I am talking to the Crown Prince of Empire Alstair, Prince Mile. Othanos."
Mile raised his hand to land a slap on Win's face when Bright's deamonaring voice echoed in the room
"Touch him by at least a speck of his hair and you can see the hell getting loose here!"
Mile's hand stop midway through the air and Bright's warning tone sent goosebumps over everyone's spine making Apo, Tul and Gulf lower their heads instinctively. As much as everyone adore and relaxes around Bright, no one dares to present themselves when Bright takes this turn in his mood. Not even Mile.
"One more word from your mouth! Just one more word about Win! I swear to all gods above that you will experience pain in your life like you have never been through before! Mark my words!"
Bright wasn't shouting but his voice sounded like it, he wasn't warning but his aura seemed like it, in fact, he was just merely stating facts but... his tone was screaming so much more with so much power.
Mile gulped as he took a step backwards from Win who still had his eyes fixed on him, staring deep into his orbs, with no fear and no difference to the surrounding. He was brave and stern and his eyes screamed power just like Bright's did.
"Win."
Bright finally voiced on Win and the younger boy immediately broke his gaze from Mile and looked at Bright
"I want you to stay outside until this is resolved and the next time you argue with your impulses, get ready to apologize and face punishments."
Bright said in a stern voice and Win immediately nodded bowing to him
"Yes Sir. I'm sorry."
"You may take your leave. Stay outside until I come."
As Bright said it, Win meekly obeyed exiting the chamber and making his way to wait for Bright at the hallway.
"Can we get to the topic again?"
Max asked trying his best to calm the atmosphere down and everyone paid their attention to the real thing once again.
"So you mean that our areas might be attacked in the future as well?"
Mew asked clearing his thought as silence seemed to be engulfing the atmosphere once again and Mile nodded.
"Well there isn't any assuarance that they won't be."
He said
"Good point."
Mew nodded agreeing.
"We also should actually and really be careful with whom we share information with. I will inform Father about this as well."
Max said and once again everyone nodded. It couldn't be neglected that everything in the environment became awkward and tense after the row and Bright knew Mile had a point and what he intended to say, but the insults and rebukes directed at Win was what triggered him.
They still did not know Win was the son of Nanny Jane and Sir Laurence and Bright couldn't tell it to them until Win allows him to and he found it so offensive that Mile always looked at Win with a hateful eye.
"There will also be another problem with this. Northern area supplies 75% of our food and now most of the farms are destroyed which will lead to a drought of food."
Mew said making a point and then the discussion carried on, explaining the situations and about quick and effective steps they could take to minimize the adverse effects.
Without any of them knowing, hours passed and finally when they could feel the metallic taste on their throats due to too much of talking, everyone came to the conclusion that they should put an end to the discussion for the day.
"Let's meet up again tommorow morning."
Mile said and then looked at Bright
"Hopefully we can go with better terms tommorow."
He said once again and Bright intense gaze instantly fixed on him
"Yes. Only if you decide to keep your hypocrisy to yourself."
"We are not having your bodyguard boy on the discussion, so it will go well, don't worry."
Mile said smiling, clearly in the intention of provoking Bright as he was still raged with how Win spoke back to him
"Listen to me carefully, Brother. If you are trying to provoke me, right now what you are succeeding at is making us even more distant than what we are. I had to make myself a lot courageous to breath the same air as you and right now, what you are doing is disgusting me to the marrow of my bones. I apologize you for Win's impulsive talking back and I would prefer it if you could respect him because I respect the bodyguard who protects my life unlike you who treats them like trash. I am grateful for them for going through hells just for me. Whether I be present or not, I want you to respect and keep Win Metawin unharmed. Finally... get this inside your head well! Metawin is going to be present for tommorow's discussion and you are going to keep your insults to yourself. That's it. Final. Period. This meeting is over and we are meeting tommorow in my chamber at sharp 09.00 AM."
Bright finished with sharp and stern gazes at everyone and then bowed
"I'm taking my leave then. This morning has indeed been pleasant."
With that being said sarcastically, the youngest prince fled out of the chamber.
************************************
"That... was pretty stressful"
Max said sighing loud as he entered his chamber and Tul without a word helped him with removing his coat.
"Well who knew that I will have to take strict orders from my youngest brother?"
Max kept talking and laughing to himself.
"He was... scary"
Tul commented short as he hung the coat on the rack
"Oh we all know what happens when we cross the Bright line."
Tul laughed at Max's remark and listened to him as he continued
"Though I understand Brother Mile's concerns about not trusting the new one, he was a bit too much today. And dammit that Win kid is also no joke. That was the first time I saw a courageous man other than Bright who could look at Phi's eyes that directly when he is angry."
"Metawin is a very smart kid."
Tul said, a small smile curling on his lips and his eyes gazed somewhere far as if he remembered something
"I smell history. You know him?"
Max asked as he sat down on the his bed and motioned Tul to do the same. Max was sitting on it while resting his body on the head rest and Tul sat in front of him, his legs crossed. Well, they have been boyfriends for almost 4 years and it was like a husband and wife discussion. Pretty normal.
"I trained him once when he was a recruit. Just a few hours."
Tul's smile grew wider proving that he was fond of those memories.
"The kid probably can't even remember me"
A laugh escaped him
"Who could forget that handsome face yours again?"
Max asked back grinning and Tul grinned back
"Win Metawin."
Tul replied and both of them laughed
"He really only has his eyes for my lil bro and I'm not complaining. Bright is hot."
"Ew. Inscest."
Tul made a face and both of the boys started chuckling again.
"Bright would say I'm disgusting if he heard that"
Max added while laughing
"Oh he would. He is like a little ticking bomb. Will never let go of the grudge, will he?"
Tul asked thoughtfully, his face turning serious at the topic at once.
"It is more than a grudge to him, Tul."
Max's voice sounded down as soon as the topic came up
"Well, you and Mew was a part of it too and it is a Royal Custom to be trained under the elder brothers and you and Mew went through it as well. So why does he take it seriously? And why is his grudge only on the Prince?"
"Several reasons. Bright prefers something different than us. When Phi dominated us in our trainings,we found it hard but not humiliating and submissive and in fact, it was normal for us. Me and Mew by nature enjoys a little pain. But for Bright... he found those humiliating and apparently he is not that much of a fan of being dominated and being in pain, not even for a training. He is the normal one here actually."
Max explained laughing while scratching his nose bridge to which Tul responded with a laughy shake of head
"But why? Why just Prince Miles and not all of you?"
"It is not just him. Bright hated all of us in the beginning but I guess he found his piece of heart to forgive us on his way."
Max said thoughtfully and a glint of sadness in his face obviously regretting whatever happened in the past
"So why not Prince Mile too?"
"The situation is different, Tul. Hard to explain. Maybe because he was the one who made him feel like that and all we did was not stopping Brother Mile? Or maybe... I don't know. Maybe because Mile is way different than us. You know it is his nature to be dominant."
"He is not normal"
Tul said with a nervous laugh and Max pouted.
"Maybe."
The prince replied.
"Don't you want to fix their bond?"
Tul asked again. He has never pushed the topic this far before but today he felt like it was time to know more.
"I want to. But it is beyond my power. A lot happened. Bright was vastly affected by it and P'Mile didn't know how it affected Nong until he saw Bright being traumatised. Both of them want to build up their broken pieces. Bright needs more time for his heart to forgive and P'Mile obviously should try better to not provoke him and get along with him. That will definitely happen someday but it will take time..."
Max's voice faded away little by little getting carried on with the emotions and obviously being the first time opening about the incident, it was a bit hard for him. But Tul needed to know and it was about time Max fed those details to him at least little by little.
"Maybe Prince Mile should start from stopping insulting of Win?"
Tul asked suddenly smirking with the intention of building up the mood.
"Oh a good starter!"
Max replied laughing.
"So we were talking about my boyfriend's business with my brother's boyfriend. Where were we?"
He added while raising an eyebrow playfully
"I forgot we were there. Well, I guess though both P'Apo and him got honoured, still Win excelled more. As far as I know P'Apo failed two tests. A physical and a written one"
"He did. Those were ignored. Because the old man was honoured when he had failed three and Apo was the one who failed the least after him. They considered it human failures you know. No one is perfect."
Max said nodding
"Well then Metawin is. He passed all with colours"
Tul countered with a proud face
"No way! Really?!"
Max almost stood up on the bed, his eyes wide
"Yup he did."
"But it is said that the two tests Apo failed are the hardest to pass. Like almost impossible. No one is supossed to pass those."
Max's eyes were still wide
"As I told you before, Win is a very smart kid. And a strong one as well. He seems petite and young and all but man! You should see the guy fight! He is also a very quick learner."
Tul described as Max listened to him in all ears.
"So Win really excells more than Apo then?"
"He does."
Tul replied confirming and Max went Wow to a whole next level
"He is really something."
The prince kept muttering and when only Tul's playfully agitated voice cut through his ears, he came back to reality
"So now you are thinking of another guy right in front of my eyes, aren't you?"
"Awwie, Grumpy much Tullie Tullie?"
Max replied teasingly and Tul mouthed him a "Fuck you."
"No way. But I can fuck you."
Max replied
"While thinking of Win? No thanks."
"Are you seriously bickering with me because of Win now?"
"Who is bickering with who?"
"Should we call Win here and blame him so you can imagine me fucking you without interruption?"
"You want your little brother to kill you?"
The chamber room filled with never ending lovey dovey arguments and soon before they knew, both of them were on bed savouring each others' feels.
