- "I will not let you take him away from me" - said Arthit with a frown - "our bond is impossible to break ..".
The elders nodded.
- "And you, young Kong?" - they asked - "What do you want?"
The young man separated his face from Arthit's chest and...
Arthit observed the office of the dwarf who was taking care of his uncle's affairs.
It was a large room belonging to one of the best-known law firms in the Capital. An office that, strangely, was in one of the oldest and most dilapidated buildings he had ever seen.
I do not get it...
Really, I do not...
The young man said to himself as he looked at the wallpaper that was unstuck on its corners and the furniture that had undoubtedly seen better times.
A slight click was then heard in the small room that, before the astonished eyes of those present, was transformed into a large room full of columns and with a beautiful marble floor.
- "Wow ..." - mumbled Kongpob from his seat.
Arthit looked at him and, without saying anything, took one of the hands of the young man who was sitting on his right and who, at the touch of Arthit's fingers on his skin, only managed to blush timidly.
"AHEM...!"
Both young men turned towards the center of the room where, to their surprise, a stand had appeared.
A stand from where a dwarf was watching them and who could not be other than Stonn.
This one, a middle-aged dwarf with a scowling rictus on his face, was making small notes in one of his papers.
Of course, without stop looking at the two young people that were in front of him.
His gaze, impassive, landed on Kong for a moment and then observed all the others who, sitting in their chairs, were showing amazement and stupor on their faces.
Nobody said anything.
However, when Arthit made a move to speak, the dwarf raised a hand asking for silence.
His little eyes, again, settled on Kongpob.
For a moment it seemed like he was going to say something ...
At the last moment, however, he seemed to think it better and, shaking his head as if frightening away a bad memory, he fixed his gaze on the young man with black hair who was now watching him with a frown and a hand on Kong's thigh.

- "Allow me to reiterate my deepest condolences ..." - Stonn finally said as he put the feather pen aside and smiled slightly - "Your uncle was a great person, we will miss him ...".
Arthit nodded while his mother, frowning, watched the dwarf without saying anything.
- "As I told you before, your uncle named you as his universal heir, leaving all his possessions...."
- "The Castle..." - said a voice interrupting the dwarf who, with a grimace of displeasure on his face, left the paper he had in his hands and that had been lifted from the table in order to read it more easily.
A few seconds later he was staring at Mrs.Rojnapat who, with a determined expression on her face, held his gaze as if urging him to say something.
"She's definitely challenging me ..." Stonn told himself as he watched the small and young woman that was in front of him, "You can really tell that she is from Reginald's family ..."
A few minutes of silence settled in the room to finally be broken by the slight giggle of the dwarf.
- "Your brother already told me about you ..." - he said while smiling slightly - "and left an order in case of something like this would happen... he told us to read aloud a few lines that he personally wrote on his Will..."
After which he cleared his throat and, taking the paper again, put his intelligent little eyes on the sentences that were written in one of the corners of the document.
Written directly by the deceased during his last moments of life.
"My dear little sister,
I just want to remind you of one thing ... and that is that you can not fight against blood, much less against destiny. You know that better than anyone else, or should I remind you of our visit to the Chamber? "
- "That's it ..." - Stonn said looking up from the document and resting it on the woman who, trembling, clung to her husband to avoid falling to the ground.
- "Mother ..." - Arthit muttered as he got up from his seat and took a couple of steps towards the woman.

The woman, however, shook her head and pointing to the dwarf, said only a few words that made everyone look at her totally confused.
- "Accept my brother's legacy ... do it before I regret it."
