God's Fallen Servant,Elmyr

Today is the birthday banquet of his majesty the King,Ashen Pendragon. The spring night breeze was calming and serene. Moon was in full bloom just like the flowers at day time. But this is the time of the darkness,the moon and stars shine brightly rather than the spring flowers.

"We've arrived,my lord",I heard the coachman announcing our arrival.

Good lord,I hope Storm is already there. Or else,I'll die of boredom.

I opened the carriage door and hoped off. Infront of me was the great hall of the Lunar,it was a ballroom named after his majesty's mother Lunar Pendragon. I've only been to this Lunar hall twice,first time being when I was 16,officially an adult,allowed to attend banquets for the first time. And then when I was 17,lastly here I am,18. This hall only opens up to celebrate his majesty's birthday.

"Isn't that lord Gabriel?! He looks so handsome"

A bunch of ladies giggled as they passed by me,and didn't forget to nod in my way,looking so seductive. Truly they are beautiful,but they did not really catch my attention.

As I entered the grand Hall through the glass doors,I happened to catch a body size mirror. I smirked looking at myself. The outfit looked good on me,as expected of my uncle Jimin,he gifted this to me for my last birthday. Gothic white top upto my neck with a black diamond as a neck cufflink,the black leather pants and the black cape with red patterns.

After my self admiration,I entered the hall through another massive mahogany door. A large golden chandelier was hanging above everyone,illuminating the place like a sun. The marble floor was shining ever so brightly like a mirror reflecting your own image. People were dressed in their finest outfits as they should. After all,this is the only banquet his majesty personally attends. He just hates it but a king gotta do what he has to.

"Gab"

I looked over my shoulder at the call of my name,and instantly I smiled,"Uncle Namjoon"

The man I admire the most after my dad,Namjoon Pendragon.

"You look handsome as always,Gab. Ladies are eyeing you like a candy today",The red eyed man teased me with a wink.

"You're the one to talk,uncle"

Uncle rolled his eyes with a smile,"Come on, I am an old story now. So,you came alone? Where is your partner in crime?"

"Storm must be already here. He said he'll be coming here early"

"Really? That's surprising after seeing you two always together by the hip like right ball and left ball"

"That's disgusting!",I whisper yelled feeling offended.

Uncle laughed shoving his head back,"What? I meant right eye ball and left eye ball. What did you think? You dirty minded bastard"

I flushed in red,he is so good at teasing me with these kind of tricks. Dad always used to tell me that it's uncle's way of getting back at dad's 'past self'. Just what did my dad do that I have to be his scapegoat?
