Archduke Julius stood up abruptly and rushed out without explanation, the three of us who can't quite grasp what just happened confusedly stare at each other.
"Did I interpret it incorrectly? the reason Magnus and Mike insisted to visit despite the bad weather on this cold night, their pledge to protect the family with that small hand, the hidden truth that they only know.... and how dumb of me to just figure this out"
"... Harris, the children!!!"
"Kyaaa!"
My body jumped back in answer to the loud scream from the second floor, Uncle Harris and Nathan run as fast as they can to its source followed by the knights and the palace guard.
I spot a couple of scared maids runs in the corridor, I gasp my breath when I notice a faint color of red rest on the end of their skirt when we pass them.
"Did uncle see that? who's blood is that? are we too late?"
"Harris close Arvi eyes we are close" as uncle Nathan said that, everything after just went so fast like a flash of light. When uncle Harris lets go of his hand on me, I can see the kids sit quietly on the sofa as nothing happens.
They already in their pretty bed robe, like a doll. Something strange caught my eyes, their ruby orbs burn with a red glow, and it seems like their soul wander somewhere else.
"What is this? what actually happens? I can't remember shit!"
Clack
I turn my gaze to the opened door, daddy comes out from it with his hair not completely dry yet. he notices me stare at him and come to me.
"I'm sorry," he said to me and uncle "I act recklessly" his brow frown down to a deformed shape.
"... Don't apologize, you did the right thing," said uncle Nathan who sits near his children, he looks fine but one can see that all color has drained out from his face. "I already gave the three of them the nectar, what we can do is wait"
Dad walks to uncle Nathan and hugs him "I'm sorry" he said.
That night all of us sleeping together, Magnus, Mike, and Maison still sit silently like a lifeless doll. I don't understand a millimeter of what happens, my head wanders for a piece of information I can recall but found nothing, time pass and I can feel my lid becoming heavier and heavier.
***
"... Dad" a soft gentle voice reverberate through my bones and forced my eyes to open. I tried to flip my body to see who own that voice and see little Maison on his feet trying to wake uncle Nathan.
It happens in an instant, uncle Nathan slumps down on his knee and hugs that tiny body, the tears break down and wet his face. Dad and uncle Harris heard uncle Nathan's cries, jump from the bed and hug little Maison.
"Maison" a familiar hoarse voice that I once heard from time to time suddenly can be heard behind me "King!?" I shouted in my head, he goes to little Maison's side and I can see his back facing me.
"... He comes?... why?... as far as I know, he is not someone that cares, at least to me and Soheel he didn't"
"Magnus and Mike still in a trance, we will need to take them to the deity"
"Harris, they haven't developed any magic yet"
"... G-giving them to the deity now is the same as m-murdering them" uncle Nathan's voice is shaking, he grabs the King's hand and plead for another way other than that.
"... Keeping them here like this is not the answer either, my love"
I almost lost my balance after I heard the word that comes out from the King's mouth "Did I hear it wrong? the King called uncle Nathan...love?"
"I will attend to them until their magic fully mature, so you shouldn't have to worry my love"
"We all have been through it your majesty, it's five years of pain and without magic, it would be hell for the two of them" uncle Nathan bow his head to the ground, Dad and uncle Harris who see this bow their head in unison to plead for his majesty consideration.
"Your desire to keep them with you didn't solve anything"
"One year" the King face darken, it looks like the last plead of uncle Nathan didn't budge his decision from taking Magnus and Mike to the deity
"One year of destroying yourself and our kid?" suddenly the room turned dead silent, the dam that uncle Nathan hold in his eyes now broke down into a clear sea on top of the marble floor
The decision has been made, the deity will take care of Magnus and Mike who have been forcefully set into a trance state. The deity will cultivate his fruits so they can grow into a big tree, some take five years and some need more than that. Uncle Nathan moved to Lily palace cause he can't bear to live in his palace in the agony of his absent two sons.
The King banished half of Reese household who were proven guilty for all the crimes they commit to the descendants of kings, and that includes his third husband Esme Reese Galavan, his secondborn Miel Reese Lancastrian were taken in by his fourth husband Iueun Hale.
Magnus and Mike magic were stunted for three years as a result of trauma inflicted by the harsh environment and lack of knowledge of application in magic. The realm of deity can't be entered by just anyone, once they enter it will take years to get out. The king that see how tortured Magnus and Mike in their training take initiative to speed up the education of Miel and Louis so they can guide Magnus and Mike inside the deity realm.
When Miel and Louis reach nine years old and equipped with all they need to know of deity realm and magic education both embark to undergo their training with the deity and help their brothers.
Years gone by, it's now Maison and Theo turn, both take their time of understanding their magic ability and capability, when they turn twelve years old the four brother come back with all their limb still intact. The King throw a massive banquet to celebrate this good news, everyone happy, all the siblings come together, in the amidst of this happy time never have I ever think for a second that it would turn out this way.
