Vladimir's PoV
25 years ago...
"Master he refuses to accept the mark." A man in a mask approached my father.
"You don't say." My father replied.
"It is true Sire. He is fighting against it." The man said.
"What was your purpose in this whole ordeal?" My father asked in a deathly calm tone.
"To torture him to the brink of death and force him to accept his mark." The man said in a monotonous voice.
"Ahh... So you have failed to fulfill your purpose, have you not?" My father said.
"I tried Sire but he is too strong." He said.
"Too strong you say.." My father said.
"Yes." He said.
I could feel the tension in the room increase a notch higher.
"Marcus!" My father bellowed.
My eldest brother entered the room.
"Father." He bowed in respect.
"My sons, those who fail to fulfill their purpose..." My father gestured Marcus to step forward.
Marcus seized the man and stabbed him with his sword.
"Have no use in this world." My father completed his sentence and burst into fits of cough.
"Father!" Marcus yelled in concern and dropped his sword and started moving towards father.
All my other brothers also sprang up to help father.
"No!" My father bellowed.
All my brothers stopped.
He looked at Marcus and said "Never drop your sword. Not even for me. I am naught but a dead man. This venom is killing me inside out. But it can't kill my legacy, it can't kill my family, it can't destroy the strength you all possess. Today we have been forced to become cowards but not anymore. Soon we shall rise and seize what's truly ours." Father said.
It wasn't the first time he had said this. But somehow it felt the last.
My brothers solemnly nodded.
"My sons are my pride and strength. My son's are the only ones capable of truly binding my legacy, my blood. " He said and passed out.

Present day.
"Sire?" Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." I said.
"The package Master Salvatore had asked for has arrived my lord." Thomas said.
"What is inside it?" I asked.
"Letters of love addressed to Lady Ophelia." He said.
"What!?" I said.
"Letters of love addressed to Lady Ophelia." He said.
"I heard you. Only letters?" I asked.
"Yes Sire." He said.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yes Sire." He said.
"How many?" I asked.
"10 letters Sire." He said.
