Opening my eyes I was met with Sylvie's worried face, she was staring at me intently. Her weight weighing down on my chest as she smacked my nose lightly.

"Papa what happened? "

"I dunno sylvie but I suddenly felt Tyler draining the mana from me and after that my energy"  I sat up as I rubbed her head.

I looked around and remembered my room in Helstea Manor the darkness of the room is a sign that it was already night, feeling the warmth beside me I looked down and saw Tessia sleeping beside me as she held my other hand. I immediately began to panic, if gramps see this he will definitely beat me up with a cactus.

My frantic movements must have woken her up as she immediately hugged me.

"Art what happened back there? Are you feeling okay? Please speak you're making me worry..."

I silently stared at her she connected our foreheads. And look at me confused. I found this time as a perfect one to joke around.

"Sorry..... who are you?" upon my question her eyes suddenly widened and she bolted out of the room. I let out an internal evil laughter but I realised how big of a problem it can create.

I face-palmed as sylvie laughed at my internal struggle and just sat there waiting for the drama.

Entering my room was mom, she was already heading towards me faster than lightning. She checked all over my body. Before looking a me confused.

"What's wrong with you Arthur, do you feel unwell? Do you feel pain anywhere?"

"Sorry mom, I just find it in me to make a joke at that moment" I scratched the back of my head as I laughed. She looked at me as if I've gone senile.

Entering the room next was dad and tess. Dad was calmly looking at me while Tessia still looked panicked. From the corner of my eyes I can see mom show a smile of excitement.

"Tess he doesn't remember you, maybe kissing him will bring back his memories" She exaggerated her words as I looked at her in disbelief did she really say that? There's no way tess would fall for that.

It was unexpected but tess slowly walked to me taking ahold of my chin raising it up and gave me a warm soft kiss. It was a long lasting kiss when she slowly pulled back.

She asked again if I remember her and I could only nod in response. Too shocked to form words.

Through my shock I can hear some girls squealing in the background. I lose eye contact with tess and saw an unusual pair. My sister and Merial was hugging each other as they squealed. My mom was smirking beside my dad who had a proud look in his face. Gramps had his thumbs up with Sylvie copying him. Alduin however had a grim look as he stared at me with a murderous gaze.

I inwardly gulped and avoided eye contact just in time to see mom joining the squealing girls. I gawked at them, did they seriously trick tess into kissing me in front of them and go around squealing like banshee's.

I did everything I could to avoid eye to eye contact with Alduin as my eyes wandered around the room only realising that I had an empty bookshelf and a table in my room.

I could hear mom and merial talking and one word caught my attention as I immediately snapped my head in their direction.

"Absolutely that'll be a great idea, do you agree with this Tessia? Arthur?" I can see Tess nod her head enthusiastically as she looked at me, waiting for my response.

"No" I answered With a cold expressionless face.

I saw tessia's heartbroken face and I heard her run out of my room. Gramps was looking at me in disbelief and I stared at their eyes coldly.
