The beautiful city at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, renowned for its stunning Alhambra palace and stunning vibrant cultural scene.
A few kilometres away from the busy city, close to the dense forest, near the sea shore, situated a castle dazzling under the moonlight.

This castle belongs to the Valenciano Family, one of the Royal Family of Spain. Although they aren't much active in the political affairs of the country now and is more private, they are still the unbeatable power in Spain. The juniors of the Valenciano focus more in business. Except the crown prince/princess who will be the future ruler, no one else is fighting for the royal power. Atleast that's what people think.
The present King of southern spain is Vincent Julián Valenciano, second son of the former King Alexander Marc Valenciano who is now eighty years old.
Inside the castle, King Vincent and his father was chatting when someone entered the hall.
"Ethan is here..." Alexander smiled at the young man who came. His old face has lots of wrinkles and years of life experiences left so many shadows in his body. But he was still healthy and in good spirits.
"Grandpa, father..." Ethan Gabriel Valenciano, third son of King Vincent, greeted them in the royal etiquette.
"You are not sleeping in your office today?" King Vincent sneered at his workaholic son and sipped his green tea.
"Why are you sneering at him, Vincent? When you were at his age, you were giving me headaches and acting rebellious!!" Alexander tapped on the floor with his walking stick.
King Vincent chocked on his tea, making the grandpa and grandson laugh out loud.
King Vincent kept a straight face with a little bit embarassment, but he didn't deny his father. Or else, he don't know what else from his youth will be exposed by his father again.
"How's the company going these days? Any new project or corporations?" Grandpa Alexander asked his grandson enthusiastically.
"I came to discuss this matter with you guys." Ethan instantly became serious and gave the files he brought along with to them.
King Vincent and Alexander had a doubt in their face and read the files. Their face became more and more ugly as they understood the concept. Closing the file, Grandpa Alexander tried to suppress his anger.
"That stupid brat Daniel!!! How dare he cause trouble again!"
Daniel Philip Blasco is the son of Alexander's youngest daughter, Daniella Gabriela Valenciano.
As per the royal rules, only the children of the Queen (first born daughter of the King/ crown Princess) or the King (crown prince) can be considered as the royal heirs to the power. Other daughters and sons cannot have the throne, but can have other titles and properties, also certain positions in their company.
Daniel has been working as the manager of their company. Because of the fact that his Grandfather love his only daughter, that is his mother Daniella a lot, he is a bit more reckless. He do everything as per his wish, knowing that no one will ask him anything.
Due to this behaviour of Daniel, the company has lost a lot of deals with other companies. If he is dissatisfied with any company or the representatives he will reject them. If they displeased Daniel, he will cause trouble for them.
Till this day, other than warning him, no one took any actions against him. Because, the deals he rejected didn't cost much to them.
But this time, he went too far!
He is again troubling the Menon Family!!!
About ten years ago, Daniel caused a lot of troubles to the Menon Family. Although the the Menons are aristocrats and are extremely powerful, they still couldn't take the blow when the Chandrashekhar left all to take care of his wife. The company was without a head for a month, which was enough to make huge damages.
Later, Chandrashekhar's youngest son took over the company. Although by that time, King Vincent has stopped Daniel, the damages were made. The other enemies who were waiting for the downfall of Menons started their work too.
Everyone thought that the Menons are over. But, they were wrong about the new head of Menons.
In the recent years Menons has grown so much under him and became so prosperous and stable.
"He hasn't learned his lesson yet!!! Does he wants to push the company to a dead end!" King Vincent tried to suppress his anger.
Daniel was suspended from the company after the incident with the Menons. Later, he was obedient for a few years. But now, he again started his behaviour.
This time instead of rejecting directly, he insulted the directors who came to discuss the renewal of corporation. Valenciano has been in corporation with them for decades. But now, after this incident, they withdrew their corporation which made a major downfall in their company.
Ethan has tried to apologise to the directors but it was in vain. The former owner of that company has passed away and now it is in their juniors hand. So, they have no reason to tolerate Daniel and his reckless behaviour.
That company also has a royal background from another country. So, they are not afraid of offending Valenciano's.
"Grandpa, father. We need Menon's help to overcome the present crisis. I contacted Mr. Hiran, secretary of Menon's CEO. They had agreed to meet with us. But they are in India now and can't leave there for the time being. We can't wait for too long too. So, I decided to go to India." Ethan finally explained the situation.
"But, why Menons? Why don't we consider others?" King Vincent asked with doubt on his face.
"Dad, we need someone who is far ahead or equal to our level to solve this crisis. Others are possible but it's a temporary solution, maybe won't even work. So, the only option before us is Menons or the Augustine groups."
Alexander who was sipping his tea while listening to Ethan paused when he heard the name Augustine. But it soon disappeared as it never existed.
Same with King Vincent. He glanced at his father and sighed.
Ethan who was seriously explaining the situation didn't notice the change in his father and grandfather, and continued, "But, I can't contact Augustine's at all. They were always so mysterious and no one knows how to get in touch with them. That makes Menons our only option.''
"When are you leaving then?" King Vincent asked.
"Tomorrow morning." Ethan said with determination.
King Vincent and Alexander nodded in understanding.
Outside, the moon shone brightly and faded away the clouds that hidden his existence.
