The Lapis family

☯︎

Third person's pov:

  |• The Lapis Family, the descendants of the Geo God, Morax. For years of generation, this family has inherited the ability to manipulate and control earth. From the soil to sand, from rock to gold.

They have the biggest mines in the kingdom, hence their knowledge about stones. And for many years, the Lapises have been crowned the richest family in the world.

They've also built a reputation regarding their obsession with contracts. They never break what they signed, and they bring punishment to those who does not comply to what they promised.

As Morax has said, "Will suffer the wrath of the rock"

"What in Rex Lapid do you mean, Aurum has been kidnapped by the Agriches?!", A shout came from the living room. The 'boy' ran a hand through his head in frustration? How could Aurum be abducted? He trained her himself.

Xiao couldn't understand himself, was there someone from the Agriches that would par with Aurum?

"She got captured because she tried to save Cassis", the head of the house, Neruim Lapis, said.

Xiao couldn't help but blame Cassis, but that's only his protective nature for the girl.

"Since when?"

"Since last week—"

"And you haven't made a move to rescue her?!"

A/N: I'm not sure how many days Cassis stayed at the Agriches.

Xiao groaned. "She must've planned something, right? That's why you haven't made any plans?"

Nerium nodded, and pulled out something from his pocket. An earing, "This arrived the day before yesterday".

Xiao's eyes widened, it was the ering he gave as a gift during her birthday. It's purpose is to track her when she needed assistance, specifically from Xiao.

Nerium gave the earing to Xiao, he stared at it at his palm. Wondering, thinking, worrying about Aurum's condition.

"And there's a note...", Nerium also brought out a note. Xiao didn't waste any time and grabed it, unfolding it and burying his face on it.

"....this might sound unbelievable, but Lant Agriche gave me a room and treated me as a guest under Jeremy Agriches surveillance...Cassis however was thrown under Roxana Agriches hands.

Roxana Agriche plans to help me and Cassis escape... I'm not sure when...but when the chaos is on its peak...come and get me"

...

Xiao closed the paper, thinking to himself. "Surprised? I know...Lant giving Aurum the privilege to act as a guest is suspicious...but I think I have an idea why...", Nerium put a hand on Xiao's shoulder....

"This... Jeremy...might have inherited something from Lant that I truly despise", he muttered.

Xiao looked up to him curiously, "What is it?"
