Royal Castle of Athanor
Pinapasok agad ng mga guwardiya si Hugh, they nervously salute to the renowned Duke as they fully respect his achievements and his swordsmanship.
Naglalakad siya papunta sa Royale Sanctuary kung nasaan ang Hari, ipinatawag siya nito para sa isang political arrangement sa katabing bansa tungkol sa alliance and war.
Wala itong kasamang mga tauhan niya, he really dislikes getting followed when they're in the castle, he is keen of reminiscing when walking along the "Rose Garden" in a quiet environment, doon pumupunta ang ina niya lagi kasama siya pag ipinapatawag ng Hari ang kaniyang amam punung-puno ito ng mga pulang rosas at may isang malaking puno sa gitna.
He pictures her mother playfully interacting with him while drinking tea under the tree, "red", he muttered.
He loves reading about the life of the other races when young; From how the elves escaped from slavery to how the sprites blesses you when liked by them. He also met and befriended other races when he was on expeditions, some students in Athanor University were of different races too, pero iba ang usapan pag tungkol na sa bampira, they were an elite race; Their power are mysterious and bewitching yet the humans calls them parasites as they live on their bloods, mabuti ngayong panahon ay wala ng balita sakanila.
"To think that "extinct" race is right here all along." He smiled and walk again but stopped.
He bowed to the man in front of him to pay respect, "how are you Prince Athan?"
Nagtaas ng kamay si Athan, kasing taas ng kaniyang dibdib para iacknowledge ang kaniyang presensiya.
"What brought you here, Duke von Calvaire?"
Athan is composed and calculative, he respects his cousin at the same time he felt threatened, ever since his cousin went to the war their relationship changed, he treats him as his rival as his father, The Emperor, acknowledge his skills and divine magic to the point that he respected Hugh's decision to take his mother's last name than the Royale name of "De Belmont" to show them that he doesn't have any desire for the position and swore loyalty to be their subordinate.
"Formal as ever, Prince Athan" He chuckle.
Athan laughed. "I just can't stay formal to you, I cringe every time I do that" his voice got louder as he put his arm on Hugh's shoulder.
"You can always treat me how you interact with me when we were young, baka nakakalimutan mo, ako lang ang nakakalaro mo dito", he teasingly told Athan.
"Dalawa lang kayong nakatiis sa akin dati"
"Oh, right, the other one is your fiancé", Hugh immediately stiffened as he remembers the seductress.
"Right... that annoying woman" Athan subconsciously touched his nape. He sounds irritated and frustrated. "Anyway, I'll go along with you, I know you're going to see my Father"
"Yet you still asked?"
"Shut up, that's normal in a formal conversation!"
