Evelyn just woke up from the bad dream.
Evelyn: Damn..Where am I? *eyes open*
He looks around the room and realises he's in his childhood room. He quickly runs down from the bed and rushes to the mirror.
Evelyn: Am I... 12 years old again? *mumbles* But it's too late..my parents were gone already *clench*
He's staring at the mirror for a while until he hears the knock.
*knock knock*
Butler: Your Highness, are you awake?
Evelyn: Of course.. Zak *clench*
He becomes angry and clench his fist.
Evelyn: All of you have to pay back for everything you did to me and my family *mumbles*
Come in Zak..
He told the butler to come in.
Zak: It's still early your highness. Why're you awake?
Evelyn: I don't know. I want to go to my brother.
Zak: Of course. Big brother is worried for younger brother. *chuckles*
Evelyn stares at Zak and smile. After that Zak takes him to his younger brother's room.
In the room:
Evelyn: Zak I want to spend time with my brother. ALONE *smile*
Zak: I understand your highness. Take your time *left*
Evelyn lies down beside his younger brother.
Elliotte: Brother.. Why're you here? *cough*
Evelyn: I'm glad your condition is getting better. This big brother will protect you at any cost okay? *smile*
Elliotte: I believe in you *smile weakly*
Evelyn hugs him.
Evelyn: You'll do whatever I say and believe in me?
Elliotte: Yes definitely.
Evelyn: Next week is your 11th birthday party so enjoy *nod*
Next Week, the birthday party of Elliotte's begins. All of the nobles and their children come in union.
A noble man slowly approach Elliotte with his daughter.
Ransom: Your Highness, my name is Ransom Emiss *bows*
Elliotte: Nice to meet you *smile*
Ransom looks happy because the prince acknowledge him.
Ransom: This is my one and only daughter Francine Emiss. I hope she's under your protection your highness.
Francine: Nice to meet you, your highness *bows*
Elliotte: How old are you?
Francine: 12 years old.
Elliotte: Can you be my good friend? *smile*
Francine accept happily and look at Elliotte.
Francine: Yes of course, your highness *happy*
ON THE OTHER SIDE, IN THE BALL ROOM'S CORNER
Evelyn: I need to act extra smart in everything so that I'll be unchosen one *nod*
While he's still losing in thought, his uncle and auntie approach him.
Silas: Well well...Why's our little cat alone?
Elara: Honey..That's sad.
Evelyn: I like to live alone no problem *smile*
Silas (uncle) slowly ruffle Evelyn's hair.
Silas: Our little cat is extra smart these days *chuckles* Always number one in classes.
Elara: Of course. He needs to be smart for the throne.
Evelyn's thoughts: This is what I wanted to hear all the time *smile*
{Like this the 11th birthday party of Elliotte ended}
NIGHT TIME
Silas: Master..what should we do? We were planning to use him as a puppet because another one is weak because of heart disease.
MASTER: I never thought you would this dumb? and also stupid.
Elara: So you want us to choose....
MASTER: Elliotte.. You need someone who can be under your control not someone to make rebellion. Is that right?
ON THE OTHER SIDE {In Evelyn's room}
Evelyn: Zak.. I heard me, my brother and also Uncle and Auntie will go to a trip?
Zak: Yes your highness. *bows* Next week
Evelyn: Are you gonna accompany also? No you have to accompany *nod*
Evelyn thoughts: So exactly I only have a week to make plan *sigh*
