The Lost French Prince

Chapter 17: The Bonds between brothers

Third POV

Lafayette stares at the cream color envelope that was seemingly taunting him nonstop. Alexander, John, and Hercules were beginning to worry about the French male. They couldn't blame him for being so nervous and having this much pressure on his shoulders. After having the discussion with Maria seem to put the French immigrant on edge. Lafayette hasn't said anything for the past twenty minutes but just staring down at the carpet floor. Hercules waves his hand at the Lafayette's face for a couple of seconds where he was just frozen. He was actually frozen as if time has stopped for a moment.

"Lafayette" Alex call out

"Huh?" Lafayette question

"You ok?"

"Non, mon frere. I'm fucking nervous as hell"

Alexander looked at Hercules and John giving them the look of wanting him being alone with Lafayette. Both males understood and leave the two brothers alone for a moment. Sitting beside his younger brother seeing the uneasy in his dark brown eyes. The pressure of this interview and the possibility of failing it just mean that this trip was worth for nothing. Alexander doesn't doubt his younger brother and knew he'll ace this interview even takes the entire evening if it has to. The two brothers continue to stay in silent until Alexander decided to break it.

"Lafayette, everything will be fine," He said

"How, could you know? Me being interview by Maria grandfather also the Grand Emperor personal knight. I don't have any courage or believe I could be Prince Gilbert" Lafayette argue

"Is what your heart believe or is what your mind believe?"

"Well...I...um..."

"Laffy, the memories you been having doesn't from your mind. Your memories are coming from your heart. It's been telling you that for a decade that you still miss and love your birth family. "

"How can you so sure?"

"I can't be sure, but you can"

Alexander smiled at his younger brother before giving him a tight hug. Despite having his older brother being shorter than me and having the mentality of acting younger but Alexander is indeed a wonderful brother. During their darkest moments and difficult times in life, he was always there whenever Lafayette needed him the most. He would abandon studying for his finals at the last minute or doing his project two weeks earlier just to aid his brother. For this role to be taken seriously since Alexander older brother James Hamilton Jr life was taken away during the hurricane in Nevis. Ever since that event, the Caribbean made a sole promise to himself and his late brother to take care of Lafayette.

Lafayette is glad to have a brother like Alexander since they have been very close. Even when people believe they aren't brothers but it didn't matter to them since families don't come from blood. Family comes from love and support from others individuals with open arms. The French immigrant was glad to have Alexander, George, and Martha to be his family and being supportive to find the truth of his past.

The two brothers hug each other before Lafayette wiped his tears away as Alexander happily fixed his tie. They continue having their short conversation until Maria came into the room. Lafayette took a short breath before following the female knight to the upper levels of the hotel. Lafayette feeling his heart pounding nonstop but decided to calm himself down. Maria and Lafayette stop their tracks at a golden door where the female knight commanded the Lafayette to stay in place. As she went inside the room which causes him to clutch onto his locket and pray to his heart content
