BIG NEWS: (E/C) is now (y/n). Just to let you know. Sorry that I haven't changed it before now.

YOUR POV

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping. I flipped over to my other side and expected Garroth to be lying in bed next to me. My hands felt only air though. I opened my eyes to the bright sunlight coming through the window.

I guess Garroth had gone on patrol, and I just didn't notice. I got up and got dressed. I had a bit of a migraine but otherwise, I was feeling fine. I walked through the door of our room and bumped into someone with armor.

"Oh sorry," I said. The man turned around. "Garroth." Garroth flashed a cute smirk and gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"Morning (y/n). You feeling better than you were last night?"

I looked at him strangely. "What? What'd I do?!?"

He chuckled. "Nothing, you just were really tired after Kawaii~Chan's party."

"Oh. Hey! Zane, sorry, I didn't see you there!"

My soon-to-be brother-in-law chuckled at me and then smiled. "It's okay (y/n). Garroth was just explaining the plan abou-"

"About you becoming the Lord of Okasis?"

Zane nodded and let out a sigh. "Yeah. And sense Garte is dead, there's nothing holding me here but you guys."

"Really?"

"I can't believe Zane would actually give up being Lord to stay here, with us. But then there would be no one to take over being Lord, so Garroth would have to go and then Zane wouldn't be by us if he stayed here an-"

"(Y/n)? Are you okay?"

"Huh?"

"Well, you spaced out."

"Oh, I'm fine. So, what do you think about the plan then?"

Zane sighed. "Well, I'm willing to do it. Garte is gone. He's dead. And I'm okay with it. He never treated Garroth or I like his sons. He probably didn't treat our other brother like a son either."

"What? Zane, it's just you and m-"

Zane shook his head. "I have a picture that I've never showed anyone. Garte burned the rest of the photos."

"Zane, if you don't mind me asking, how would you remember? I mean, Garroth was older than you when that must have happened and he doesn't remember..."

Zane sighed. "I really don't know. Maybe because of that brainwashing serum that you gave me? I guess when I was younger, my family was really important to me, so I kept the photo..." I saw Garroth blush slightly when Zane mentioned the serum.

"Zane, can we see this photo?"

He nodded grimly, and grabbed his backpack. He pulled out a framed photo. He handed it to me and Garroth looked over my shoulder.

"That's me," Garroth pointed out everyone in the picture. "That's Zane. That's our father. That's our... our mum. And that's our brother?" He turned to Zane and Zane nodded.

"If I remember correctly, his name is Vylad." He turned to Garroth and I. "He's a shadow-knight."

GARROTH'S POV

"What? Like (y/n) and Laurence shadow knight? Or full on shadow-knight?" I asked quietly. Now that I look back, I do faintly remember someone other than Zane being in my memories...

"From what I remember? A full on shadow-knight. The last time I saw him was 12 years ago, when..."

"When what?"

"When I trapped him in the Nether."

YOUR POV

"You?"

Zane slowly nodded. "Yeah, remember? I used to be "evil"?"

Garroth nodded. "So that's when... So, is he still there?"

Zane shook his head. "I don't know to tell you the truth."

"Wait, so let me get this straight. You two," I pointed to Garroth and Zane, "Have another brother. Meaning another uncle for the twins, in the Nether?"

Garroth nodded. "I guess so... Shoot! I got to go on patrol! See you later (y/n). " He gave me a kiss on the forehead before leaning down. His face was about the same level as my stomach. "Buh bye, guys."

I laughed before pulling him into a small hug and then a kiss on the cheek before he left down the stairs.

I sat down next to Zane on the bed. "So, do you think you're ready to be Lord?"

"I'm only 17, but I think I can manage. Anyways," He gave me a side hug. "You and Garroth will always be there for me... right?"

I hugged him back. "Of course."
