Amber POV

"Huh? Where am I?" I said as I woke up, then I looked at my surroundings. I stood up, and all I saw was a wooden plank wall, and the room was cramped.
 
"Hey!" I turned around to see a little boy, and my eyes widened when he approached me. "I see you've been their next victim," he said, and I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing him right. 
 
He looks like my brother! He has our iridescent pearl hair color and our amber eyes. Oh! What a beauty! 
 
"Uhm, who are you?" I asked as I was focused on his face. "My name is Cleon, Cleon Glynn," he said, and I gasped.
 
Does father have an illegitimate child?! 

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Wow. He's a little bit snobbish. "It's just that you look like someone I know,"  I said while still looking at him. Damn! Because he really looks like Gwydion, he has the same haircut as my brother. "Are we related somehow?"
 
"Figures. We have the same hair color but not your eyes,"  he said, and I got a little hurt because I really have no Amber eyes. "My father said this hair color only runs in our family." My eyes widened, and I grabbed onto both his shoulders. "Who's your father?" I asked. 

Is it Calixtus?

Tell me it's Calixtus!

So I can slap his gorgeous face!

"My father's name is Jareth Glynn,"  he said.
 
"Oh..." I was a little bit disappointed because I can no longer humiliate my father for having an illegitimate child.
 
"What?"
 
"Nothing,"  I said while waving my right hands up and down.
 
"You sound disappointed, as you know my father is a great man!" he brags.
 
"My father is a great man too, but not a great father,"  I said with a bored tone. "That sucks! Because my father taught me everything I need to know,"  he said, and I felt like he's teasing me.

"Well, well... our royal babies are awake." Two men showed up from the door, and I bet they were the ones who kidnapped me. "I told you she looks like this brat,"  said the man, who's bald and masculine. "Yeah. They have the hair of the Glynn-Lustrous,"  said the man who's wearing a mask with a cape.
 
"I'm sure these brats will make some good money,"  the bald man said, and I raised my left eyebrow. "Ugh! I bet these guys stink. Selling children for slavery,"  I said. 
 
"Huh?! What did you say?" the bald man was ticked off.

 
"That's the lowest job that you can do, bald man!" I said while keeping my head up.
 
"This lady got some mouth,"  said the other man, who was just chill about it. "What about it? I'm just stating terrible facts,"  I said, and the bald man was really pissed off.
 
"Why don't you shut your little mouth?"  The bald man was aiming to grab me, but I was surprised when Cleon got in front of me. "Don't you hurt her!" Cleon said, but the bald man smiled, and I was startled because he punched Cleon. 

"Ha! You asked for it." Cleon ended on the floor, and the two men left the room, then locked us again in this cramped room. "Cleon!" I approached Cleon, and his face was hurt. What have they done to Cleon's beautiful face? 
 
"Those guys need to pay!" I said while getting teary-eyed because they hurt Cleon's face. "This is nothing. compared to my previous ones,"  he said while he sat down, and I was surprised by what he said. "Did those guys torment you from the start?" His eyes went sharp on me. "I just want to get back to my father,"  he said, and I can feel how he misses his father.
 
"Don't worry." I put my left hand on the right side of his head. "I'm going to let you get out of here,"  I said, and he turned his head on me so that my head ended up beside his wounded cheek. "How so?" he said, and I'm going to answer him back, but I see my left hand glowing beside his right cheek. "What are you doing?" Cleon said, and I have no idea either.
