It's been a while since the last time I update 🥲, sorry

A week had past since the last time Eros seen Anastacuis, he's been living to Alpheus estate since then, having a brother and sister moment with Jennette and being tutored by Ijekiel... It's nice and pretty peaceful, until the maid became suspicious

The maid named 'Ceril' had been going in and out from Eros's Room, giving a excuse such as 'I'm... Just checking if the room is alright... Young master Eros'

I sometimes seeing her glancing me over and over as if she seen a ghost 'did she perhaps... Know me?' Eros then shook his head 'impossible, there's no way...' Eros continue having an unexpected hypothesis

"Brother, are you listening?"

Eros came back from reality when Jennette spoke, Eros look at Jennette before smiling gently "sorry... I just thought something, what is it again?"

Jennette shook her head before giving Eros an answer, she giggle while looking at Eros, Eros look at Jennette but Jennette simply smiled "That's our Father"

'... Father?... You mean that demon living inside the palace?... That person?... But isn't she's Anastacuis daughter? ' Eros look at Jennette with a confused expression

"He is 'our' father, Uncle said it" Jennette happily answered, at that answer Eros immediately remember Anastacuis words

'She doesn't know anything... So don't spoke nonsense in front of her understood?'

So this is what he meant, Eros simply smiled at Jeannette 'looking at this, she really look like my sister... Speaking of Athanasia, how is she anyways?... I hope she's ok in that devils hen'
.

Just like that... The time flow by, now Jennette is 5 years old in a span of 1 year, there's so many thing happened inside the Estate, the suspicious maid named 'Ceril' quit her job, it's still a mystery why tho, half a year when the spring came, she received a letter then after that she quit her job, I also gotten closed to Jennette and Ijekiel, The duchy is so peaceful, but... Anastacuis didn't visit the Estate since that time. Either way, Since I'm 6 now... Mister Roger said that I should go to school since I'm in age when kids supposed to go to school

(A/n: I don't know what age kids started to attend school, so I just do it like this)

In the meantime, I still having a nightmare about Athanasia's Death, I will never forget that time, And that Son of a B*tch Father of mine Face while looking at Athanasia, i wish he die.

"Brother?"

I flinch when I hear someone calling me, I look at my side and saw Jennette, She was looking at me with a worried face, I smile gently at her and continue reading a book, beside her is Ijekiel who also looking at me with worried face 'tell me why theye so cute again?' I shook my head at my thoughts and giggle

Ijekiel and Jennette look at me with a  suspicious face before slowly smiling 'yep yep, I will definitely protect this cute little thing'

*knock*

We look at the door when someone knock and tell them to come in, a maid who's face I didn't see while staying at the mansion 'new maid?... But that's weird I didn't heard anything about having a new maid' I look at the Brown haired girl and has a freckles across her face who's definitely at the age of 15 suspiciously

Ijekiel who's the oldest also look at the maid suspiciously, Jennette... A innocent girl who just what to be loved are the only one who look at the maid innocently.

"Who?" Ijekiel who's in Jennette's Right side ask at the maid, the maid just smiled and slowly approach us before opening her mouth

"Hello there Young master Ijekiel and young miss Jennette, I'm here to take someone with me"

"How rude of you, did you not learn any manners to ignore someone in a higher status than you?" Ijekiel coldly stare at the maid before speaking coldly.

The maid immediately flustered before waving her hand as if saying her defeat "y-you got it wrong, I'm here to take someone as I say before, and that person is Prince Cyrus"

I immediately flinch when I hear a very familiar name, In this mansion they always call me Eros so I'm kinda use at being called at that name. But suddenly hearing that name with a face I definitely didn't see in my whole life is kinda... Weird I suppose.

"There's no such a person in this duchy, who even let you in?" Ijekiel ask.

Jennette look at the maid and ijekiel simultaneously before looking at me with a pleading eyes as if asking this drama to be stop.

"That's weird... Someone definitely said that the prince is here... But I don't see anyone who has a exact figure in the picture I saw" the maid slowly raised her pointing figure in his forehead making a pose of thinking.

"Tsk... Manner less maid"

'Hold it right there, does Ijekiel ever have this kind of attitude, I always see him as a innocent child. When did he grow?' While ijekiel and the maid having a debate. I on the other hand thinking when did Ijekiel grow so much in a short period.

While we where in that state a familiar figure I never wish to see illuminate in front of me, a familiar bloned hair and sharply shining jeweled eyes look at the surrounding before landing his gaze toward me.

The very figure Jennette thought that he is her father, the very person who make me suffer for my whole entire life. The son of a b*tch who let a child live on his own, the very person I hated the most. This person is currently staring at me with the same gaze he gave when he killed his own children.

"A rat is a rat after all, who knew that you've been hiding here all along"
