1451 Words
It's been 3 days when they got home. He still remembers how they separate ways while sipping his coffee on a coffee table. He didn't come out of his room for the following days.
He stared at the door when someone is knocking on it.
"That's open! Get in!" he shouted.
He thought that he is his father or their servants but when he looked down he saw his sister tiptoe walking towards him. Her blonde curled hair, braided on the top, wearing a sleeping dress, she smiled and jumped on Eustas bed.
"Eustas, why are you here? Why didn't you visit me in my room?" she asked and rollover above the soft bed.
"Why am I here? Of course, this is my room, Eury. Can I ask you instead why are here?" he asked her, raised his brows and smirking.
"I just wanna be with you, I never see you for a long time. Can we play?" she stopped rolling and face Eustas, her both hands are now under her chin pouting her lips.
"Can't you see? I am busy, I can't besides father said I have training later, Eury," he said seriously and sips a glass of coffee.
"Then, can I come to you please?" she pleaded as she shakes her feet in the bed like she is swimming.
"What are you going to do there? Watch me? There are a lot of vampires, I thought you are afraid." He crossed his legs and lean behind the chair. Helliana still not sending him a letter.
"You are there, my next Emperor. Why would I be afraid?" she giggled and roll again.
"Stop rolling, Eury! You are making my head whirl." He massaged his forehead and Eury did stop what she is doing.
"So, it's a yes, Eustas?"
"Why are you not calling me brother? Are you my older sister, Eury? Do I look like a kid?"
Eury nibbled her bottom lips, "Sorry, brother. See you later!" she yelled and sprinted towards the door. She is afraid might Eustas get angry, he is scary.
Eustas deeply sighed and facepalm. He closed his eyes when someone is knocking on the door again.
"That is open!" he shouted in irritation. The knocks continuously sound. Eustas forehead furrowed and his eyes narrow. He stands up to open it himself, he turned the doorknob open and looked outdoor, he didn't see anyone there.
He heard another knocked when he closed it but he didn't see anyone. He walks away from the door to find where the sounds came from.
He focused his ears when Helliana's words rushed to his mind.
"I have a bird, his name is Hitchy. He will be the one who will carry my letter to you."
His stares went up when he knew where is it from, from the window. He hurriedly going to the side window but he didn't see it. He goes to another window and now he can literally say that Helliana has a good-looking bird.
Hawk black eyes, sharp nails, brown-colored feathers, he is large, Eagle. He saw the paper that is tied to his foot. He untied it, he was amazed that the eagle didn't fly away.
"Thank you, would want to wait for my reply?" he asked, he eventually shrugged his shoulders when the bird fly without answering him.
He smiled when he is now holding the paper that Helliana wrote for him. He seated on where he sits earlier and open the rolled paper.
Dear my love;
I am sorry if I send it late. I almost slept for 48 hours. It's been three days and I am missing you so much.
Eustas hands clenched. Helliana didn't know how much he misses her. Her smell, soft skin, and their cuddles.
I got home safe and sound, how about you? Did you get home safe? Didn't you saw any wolves? I am sorry if I had to let you go at that time.
"I am okay, baby. I am safe but I longing for your touch," he whispered.
I hope you do eat well, be strong. Maybe we are not beside each other, but my love for you will be forever, Eustas.
Take care always and I love you!
Your beautiful mate,
Helliana

"Let's go, Eury! I am going now!" he shouted outside Eury's door and walks downstairs.
He is wearing tattered jeans and a sleeveless shirt. He messes up his hair when it is still wet and water is dropping to his face. He saw his father walking while his hands are behind his back. It is like he is waiting and thinking of something he didn't know.
"Father," he greeted him and bow his head.
The Emperor's eyes widened and hurriedly composed himself, the posture of him.
"I am glad you go out from your room, Eustas. I thought you will ditch your training again," he said and slightly nod.
He walks through him and Emperor step aside. He needed to eat more for the long training.
"By the way, Euridice is in the kitchen preparing for your training, she told me that she wanted to be with you." He smiled and say, "Thank you for letting her, she misses you so much."
He stopped walking and face his father, "Welcome," he seriously answered and step his feet towards the wide kitchen. He didn't like eating with his father, and his new family.
When he opened the kitchen door, he saw his little sister eating vegetables paired with bloody juice.
"Hey, brother! I prepared first so that you will not cheat on me, leaving without me," she said even Eustas isn't asking her. She winked and smile.
He hides an amusing smile and gets in.
"I will not leave you, you didn't know that I called you in your room," he replied and picked a vegetable and dressings. "Did you made it?"
"Oh, yeah! Granny taught me how to. Isn't it amazing?" she happily asked.
Eustas tasted the vegetables and nodded, "Hmmm, hmmm...the vegetables taste fresh, I like it," he commented.
"How about the whole taste, brother?" she pouted his lips waiting for him to say that it is delicious.
"The dressing is too sour, Eury. You should practice it well."
Eury tasted it again, "No, it is not."
"Yes it is, you didn't taste it because cook mixed it by yourself and in order not to taste it bad your brain teach you not," he lied.
Eury made a face and cross his arms, "Is that so?"
"Yes, eat now, Eury, or I will leave you."
"No!"
"Then, eat!"
"I am done, brother!" she yelled.
After they eat, they walked out together. Eury is holding her brother's hand. And when they walk through the group of people, they catch their attention.
They can go out whenever they want, even without body covered by huge clothes.
"Oh my gosh! Emperor's children are really handsome and beautiful." Someone mumbled.
"Does he have a girlfriend?" someone asked.
"They said, he gonna marry Moscov's daughter," someone answered her.
They continued walking while Eury is looking at her brother who remained silent.
"Won't you tell them that you will not marry that ugly pale woman, brother?" she asked.
He stared at her, "No, that's a waste of time. I will only mary my mate."
Eury showed him with an amusing smile and say, "When will I meet her, brother?" she winked his eyelashes.
"I don't know, you will see her soon."
"I am excited to see her, brother. I want a sister too." She pouted her lips.
When they get to the training ground. They saw the people who are practicing their abilities. Water, fire, wind, and etc. They all stopped and bow their heads in Emperor's children.
"Hey, Eustas! How are you?" Carter asked him, "Hi, Eury!"
"I am fine," he answered and nodded to all of them. They continue what they are doing.
"Hi, uncle!" Eury hides her smiling face.
"Ready for the training?" he asked Eustas. "What are you doing here, cutie?" he pinched Eury's chubby cheeks.
Eustas remained silent observing the surroundings. They have elders that trained the beginners until they know what are the abilities or they have.
"I just want to be with my brother, uncle. I missed him and he didn't visit me in my room." She cutely answered and she moves her body while playing with her fingers.
"IF YOU AREN'T IN FOCUS PLEASE GET OUT IN MY SIGHT!"
Their attention went to the man who shouted while the student is looking down.
"ARGGHHH! STOP IT!" he groaned when the elder hit him using the stick he is holding. "I AM HURT, MUSTA!" he shouted to him.
