A brother's love. Into the dark

Guest

Max walked over to the source of the disturbance, attempting to figure out what was going on. Did his parents get into a fight because of him? That would be the worst thing possible.

However, what he witnessed surprised him. His father was arguing with a man in his thirties with white hair and blue eyes, a very masculine face, and a beard that worked wonders for him. But who exactly was he?

He was dressed in black trousers and a black leather jacket. Max's gaze suddenly shifted to the figure behind the man. It was Isabelle who was in an unconscious state.

Fear gripped Max as he began to discover his identity. There is no way that it could be.

Then the conversation resumed.

'I implore you, Lord Axel, to spare her this one time and not turn her into your slave like the rest.'

Max's suspicion was confirmed. It was Axel, the dragon king. He had arrived at last to receive a slave from the Roses Household. He had arrived to pick up Isabelle.

Max watched in terror as the king's eyes fixed on his.

"Who's that boy? Is he the offspring of a maid or something?

'No he isn't my lord...he's my son his name is Max. I don't see how he's important tho.'

"Is he powerful? If he is, I'll make you an offer you can't refuse."

'Even if I would want to hear it, my lord Max is not at all powerful. In fact, he has no drive.'

The dragon burst out laughing. The noise was so powerful that it was likely audible from the city. However, he paused and became serious.

"How come he's in The Rose Family, then? If you disown him, might consider letting your hope go."

With a regretful expression on his face, Max's father turned to him and urged him to go, declaring that he was no longer a member of Rose. He was now just a random child and no longer Max Rose.

Max seemed frightened. What just happened? In ten minutes, he went from napping on his "bed" to walking to the disturbance, witnessing the dragon kind, and being disowned.

The dragon began laughing again and said:

"Did you think I'd abandon such a valuable gem because you disowned a rat? I've made my choice, and if you continue to plead at my feet, it won't end well."

'My lord, Im sorry but I just can't let you have her'

"And who is going to stop me? You?"

Knowing what would happen next, Max's father used his drive to place a sphere of water over Max and his other siblings, who were still asleep. He did it right on time as a massive fire explosion emerged. This explosion blew Max away, but he was unharmed since the water had shielded him. Max looked pale from seeing the explosion and Axel leaving with Isabelle.

But he didn't have time to think about it because he was about to hit the ground.
