Family? Found!

Peace

As Vincent is scolding William harshly in another room, the masquerade continues with the guests completely oblivious as to what had happened and just enjoying the party like the clueless human beings they are.

Deciding to take a small walk outside the party due to not really enjoying the loud crowd, Terrence decides to venture into the palace he hadn't stepped foot in for the past five-ish years. Walking on the balcony before turning into the oh-so-familiar corner into a beautiful garden shining under the vivid blue moon, the night is peaceful as the wind blows through the leaves of the plants. Terrence just walks around aimlessly before little chatters can be heard from around the corner. Walking towards the sound carefully, Terrence feels something small run into him with a yelp.

"I- I'm sorry...."

Looking down with a small hum as a little boy, already on the verge of crying, sits on the ground shaking, Terrence carefully bends down and extends a hand. "Are you alright?"

"I... I...."

"He is afraid of the masks, 'big brother.'" Walking over with a small eye roll, a girl, seemingly even younger than the sobbing boy on the ground, points at the fox mask remaining on Terrence's face. "He's a crybaby, after all."

"... let's not say that, alright?" taking the mask off before looking at the boy that looked awfully familiar before looking back at the orange-haired girl with bright green eyes, something clicked in Terrence's mind as a small smile raised onto his face. "Let me guess, Prince Evan and Princess Elizabeth. Am I right?"

"Y- yes...." Wiping the tears off of his face before slowly taking Terrence's hand, and standing up, Evan gives him a small nod as Elizabeth's face lits up proudly. "That is right! Now, who might you be, 'big brother'?"

"I'm Terrence. Believe it or not, your half-brother." Smiling lightly as he pulls Evan back onto his feet, Terrence stands back before flinching lightly as a hand covers up his eyes, letting out a loud sign. "Tyron. Michael. Why did you two follow me?"

"You still have some explaining to do, Terry! I'm waiting!" pouting lightly before letting go of Terrence, Tyron huffs before peaking down at the two kids staring at them with curious, big eyes. They've successfully gained Tyron's interest. "Hmm... who are they, Terry? Did you just collect more kids to take care of?"

"No, they are our half-siblings, it would appear. Old man and Isabelle's children, Evan and Elizabeth." Answering as he lightly pushes Tyron off of him, Terrence gives Michael a small smile as the boy walks over to look at the two kids happily.

"Hello, Evan, Lizzy, I am Michael! And that is our sibling, Tyron!" smiling down at the girl who happily gave him a high face, Michael lightly pats Evan on the head before a voice speaks up from behind them all.

"I see you guys have met. Evan, Elizabeth, they are your older siblings." Smiling lightly over and gently patting her children on the head, Isabelle softens her expression. 'I am going to be a good mother to them... they deserve it.'

"Hello, Bubba! Babbu! Umm... Bubbu!" pointing at Michael before at Terrence, then Tyron, Elizabeth smiles happily as Evan pouts lightly and shakes her shoulder lightly with a huff. "What about me?" Evan asks. Giving him a smile before pointing at Evan as well, Elizabeth giggles lightly. "You are Babba!"

"What is with all that nicknames?" Biting down a snicker before waving lightly nonetheless, Terrence shakes his head in amusement before looking down at Michael, who is smiling happily at the two younger members of the family and playfully ruffles his hair with one hand. "Really reminds me of you and Khael in the past, huh?" chuckling lightly as Michael fixes his hair with an embarrassed whine, Terrence quickly takes his hand back before the other can attempt to bite it off.
