"We should talk with father" Serena says suddenly as she was eating with her siblings

"Eh?" Penelope says looking at her confused

"We have found some things about father that none of us expected but...none really came our of his mouth" Serena explains

"Ah, I see" Alberu hums "You want father to tell us all those things and more out of his own mouth and not from the mirror or the overseer?" he asks and Serena nods at that

"You can go, I want to talk with who could have been our adoptive sister to get blackmail on who hurt our father" Callisto says and his siblings wince at that because if there was one thing Callisto took after his mother was how petty he could be

"Then I will go with and bring Angelique too" Soleil tells Callisto "And after we talk with her we should approach young master Cale's uncle too" she adds and Callisto smirks at that

"I suppose that means I can't go with my wife?" Robbit asks but his two siblings just give him a deadpan look so he sighs

"So me, Sere-unnie, Al-oppa and Ro-oppa will go talk with father and you guys with talk with Thanya Thames and Nigel Thames?" Penelope asks and her siblings nod at that "Okay then" she agrees since it would be nice to know even more about Zed and actually know what happened between Zed and Nigel

With that the six siblings finish their dinner before they divide themselves with one group going to where Zed was with his siblings and the other grabbing Angelique on their way to where Thanya was talking with Valentino and the dark elves.

They would get their answers and then deal with certain red haired man who needed to make up for hurting their father and leaving him alone when he most needed him.

Later, that same night, in a certain room a young adult with red hair was having a strange dream that seemed more like a collection of memories than a dream.

~"Cale, if you could...would you leave everything behind?" ??? asked one night as both boys lay in ???'s bed

"Hm? What do you mean?" Cale asks looking at the other boy confused

"You aren't happy here" ??? says and Cale looks away from him making ??? sigh "My dear Calliope, I only want to see you happy and I know you are really happy when we are together but...when you have to leave, all that happiness disappears from your eyes" he says as he grabs Cale's face and makes him look at his eyes "If you permit me, once we reach 18 I will marry you and take you to my kingdom where no one will know you besides me and my family" he says looking at Cale with eyes full of love but also worry

"...I can't leave them" Cale mumbles "I'm not my father" he adds and ??? looks at him sadly "But...I would love to marry you and...maybe visit Nisim often with you or to see you" he says

"Then that is all I will request of you" ??? says and kisses Cale's forehead as if this is what Cale wished for, then he would respect him

"Thank you...and I'm sorry for doing this to you" Cale whispers but ??? just shakes his head negatively

"You are everything to me and if you asked me to burn the world down, I would do it without thinking twice" he says and Cale just cuddles closer to him to hide his blushing face and the small smile he had~
