Chapter 32

Standing was a young man with brown hair and green eyes, a cheerful expression on his face, A wide smile cracks his face.
He put his palms next to his mouth and bowed a little to say in a loud voice.
Opposite him sat another young man with black hair and gray eyes, He was looking quietly at him.
"What arrogance are you talking about, Tom? I'm pretty normal"
"Oh really," Tom said bored, looking to his left at a young man with black hair and blue eyes.
"Okay, well, Tom and Regent, can you please stop that?"
"Wait, wait, are you serious about calling him Regent, Nikola?"
Regent rolled his eyes bored and then stood in front of Tom.
"Where is that girl this boy will marry?" asked Regent, with a very calm expression, while Tom's face turned red.
"Hey Rent! What are you saying..." He fell silent, peeking at Nicola.
"What? Have you changed your mind about marrying my sister?"
"I'm still too young to think like that," Tom muttered shyly.
"What is your first name?" said Rent intentionally to embarrass Tom.
"Hey, you do this on purpose! How long have you been caring about names! You even called yourself Regent, which means ruler in German! And this was only after Nikola and I insisted !"
"But do you know Tom?"
"what?" Bored reply.
"are you serious?" Tom asked.
"Well, it's not like we care about names, but the tone of Rex's name got me in, what about you?"
"Hmm, I don't know, maybe... Irina will do."
"Oh, you tend to be a daddy to a girl!"
Tom and Rent turned to Nicholas.
"Well...maybe I should think of the engagement first so I can think of a stage after," he said, raising an eyebrow.
"It doesn't matter, say a name you like," said Rent, and Nicola thought.
"Carl"
"So he'll be our first son," Tom said excitedly.
"for us?" 'Rent said in a sly tone, Tom's face turned red, and then he strode away quickly, as they followed him.
"Hey Tom, I'm kidding you!"
"Shut up Rint, you always mean to embarrass me!" He said it with spontaneous anger as he continued his walk.
"How about you go to the library!" Nicola said, and Rent grumbled while Tom turned to them excitedly
"Yes, Nicola, let's go!"
"My dear note, I don't know what my father thinks, It is impossible for me to understand his thinking on my own.
I woke up the next day and saw a piece of paper on the table next to me that read, "Sorry, but you have to stay alone."
Do you leave after being happy a little with your embrace and your warmth and saying that you protect me?
Is this also intentional so that the happiness that appeared momentarily disappears?
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Who would have seen that my father cares about me and neglects him!
Yes beautiful, Looks like a meeting between Eric and me will happen soon!"
Carl got up and came out of his room and was surprised to see Nicholas walking around, And even a towel over his head !
"Mm teacher?"
Nicholas looked toward Carl calmly.
"Your father ordered me to live with you in his absence."
"And you accepted?"
"Shall I say no? I work for him anyway."
"And where's Rex?"
I forced him to go.
Carl was silent and did not comment, He walked to Rex's room.
"Is this distrust of your teacher"s words?"
Carl stopped and did not continue, but turned towards Nicholas.
"Just as my teacher teaches me only because he works for my father"
"You may be right, but a relationship has developed between us that will not be easily destroyed, a teacher student relationship."
Carl was silent, he didn't even know why he said this and what it had to do with mistrust..
He sighed and then looked at his uncle's face.
"Sorry, teacher... Where did he go?"
"Rex? I gave him some stuff..."
"Okay, can I go out?" He said it hesitantly and nervously, As if he expects rejection and wants convincing justifications.
"Where to this early morning?"
To visit Eric
Nicholas looked toward Carl for a moment.
"Can I go?"
Carl sighed comfortably and went out after preparing for that house, which he knew his location thanks to his father!
He knocked on the door, then retreated hesitantly, and the Phoenix opened for him..
Sigh because it's not a snake..
"Oh Mister Rex"
"I have Eric's servant's name," he said, then raised an eyebrow.
"Would you please come in?"
"Tell Eric I'm here to see him."
"You can come in"
Carl didn't want to get in here, but he responded and walked behind Phoenix to Eric's room.
Phoenix opened the door quietly and Carl entered while Phoenix walked out, closing the door behind him.
Eric was looking at the window silently, the summer air hitting his face.
"What does Erin want?"
Unfortunately, I'm Carl .
Eric turned in astonishment, It really is Carl !
He walked towards him with quick steps while Carl raised his hands indicating that he came for peace, not a fight!
But to no avail, Eric grabbed him by the collar.
"You dare come !!"
Eric pushed him, and Carl fell to the ground, then approached him in anger and put his foot on his shoulder, pushing him against the wall.
"Say what you have, quickly then!"
"Can't we just sit better?!"
"I'm not satisfied except by seeing you from above"
They exchanged hateful looks.
"I just want to know why you thought my father was to me..." Eric interrupted.
"Yeah, you are my father's most beloved! Everyone gets hurt because of you, we get punished because of you,
"You are saying the opposite of reality!"
"This is reality! Now what!? He protects you with his palace! He left everyone for you!"
"Isn't it for your protection?"
Eric lowered and grabbed Carl by the collar.
"Why don't you feel the hurt we are doing behind you! I doubt you even know that Irina was kidnapped as a child and lived away from us all these years in order to keep you among us !"
"How..how?"
"The kidnapper said he would take her back if he got rid of you outside the palace!
But he refused to go to your mother or anywhere !
Until I finally grew up and understood leaving you to finally show up Irina !
Can you imagine how many years we've been wanting to see Irina favoring you!
And we want him to get us out doing this with you!
We want his affection and..."
"Eric !"
Eric was silent when Carl interrupted him because he was crying!
"Why are you crying Eric!?"
"you wont understand !"
"And why do you think he would focus on me?"
"What is wrong with me! He is a father who lacks justice ! And in the recent period it has become particularly dry to deal with me ! Isn't it normal for fathers to treat their children, especially the younger ones, with kindness!"
"The last period?"
"Yeah! Suddenly even conversations that only Irene and Irina talk to! He lives with you and talks to them and I where did you go !"
Suddenly, without warning, Carl giggled happily, causing Eric to get angry at this behavior and punch him and the other laugh even more!
"Did you go crazy, Carl !!"
"Eric! Got it!"
Eric stopped hitting him and looked at Carl in amazement.
"I have a plan, Eric!"
Eric raised an eyebrow, still surprised by Carl 's reaction.
"First, the search for my father's past, second, the quality of the contract in detail between us and these creatures, third, the breaking of the contract or the happiness of completing it."
Eric fell silent as he looked at Carl while Carl sighed in relief...
"Our dad, Eric, did everything he did to me to keep me from getting a contract with Rex, and he's been cold to you lately, it must be because of the Phoenix in your life! That's in Dad's mind..protection!
"then?"
"Then it's all over, the problems... the estrangement... the..."
"It won't end as long as you're here."
"It will end with the contract being completed or revoked! My father tried the contract before.. Maybe if we find out about my father's past with Rex and Phoenix's father, we'll come up with something... Let's cooperate."
"No way !"
"It's not like I want to see your face every day but it's for our good !! Are we going to be scattered like this forever!? You don't know tomorrow what's going to happen to you ! You may be separated from your mother like I did! You live alone! My father takes you away from Irene and Irina! Your friends ! Eric this all happened to me because I've been under contract with Rex since I was young !! And you are now under contract with Phoenix!"
"I will work alone, I do not want to cooperate with people like you, I hate you so much and it is good that I bear you now, if you have finished speaking, leave !"
Carl grabbed Eric's hand, forcing him to.
"We will cooperate !"
"If my father did not want to complete the contract between me and Rex because he did not want Rex to become ruler, So he couldn't stop Eric! There is another reason that I am not aware of...!"
He was trying to get away from his brother to no avail.
"
Leave my hand Carl," he said, annoyed, disgusted with his hatred for his brother.
"I won't," said Carl, insistently.
"How long are we, Eric! We're brothers!"
"I'm not proud of that !"
Eric punched him hard on the head to let go of his hand and Carl actually let him go and grabbed his head.
"Damn!"
Eric was about to hit him again, but Carl grabbed Eric's hand seriously and quickly, which made Eric a little surprised..
Carl pushed Eric back hard and kicked him in the stomach.
"I didn't know you were good at hitting!"
"Looks like you forgot my punches when you killed Matthew!"
He hit him hard in the face and Eric fell to the ground.
"I can hit you if I want to hit you !"
Then he came close to him and grabbed him by the collar and was silent for a moment when he saw the sadness of Devin Bayrick..
"Oh, you spoil Eric! Don't you wake up from your blunders? When will you grow up and be wise!" Then he pushed him hard at the same time, he opened the door hard, and they turned and saw... the snake!
She showed a gasp of shock when she saw Carl, then she walked towards him with quick steps between them.
"How dare you..."
Carl cut her off and found himself.
"Not a kid to fend for! This pamper has ruined your kid who does nothing but implement the poisons you put in his head ! You crooks!"
She got angry when he insulted him.
"Long tongued has not received education!" She said angrily as she tried to hit him between them he runs away and avoids her sharp heels.
"Oh right, you seem to have forgotten who raised me when I was a child, and I thought she was my mother."
Her anger increased, because she had grown old at some point, It was under her hand but she didn't shape it like Eric did! And now he curses her indirectly!
"And you have no respect for the one who hugged you in his house!"
"I see your tongue has grown in length !"
They stayed like this for a while and the room was turned upside down, the first protecting himself with the room's furniture, and the other trying to overthrow him in any way..
Erin opened the door in the chaos and looked at it in astonishment, not at the situation, but at Eric, who was standing silent, not sharing his mother? His hand on his head...
He walked past the chaos anxiously, Hold Eric's hand.
"Eric, are you okay?"
"Irene I..."
The two brothers' eyes met, the first sad for some reason, and the other worried about his younger brother.
I stopped trying to hit him while Carl was having fun and half smile...
I neglected Eren and he became a man while I focused on Eric and he became...
"to stop !" Eric yelled angrily, and the room was quiet.
"Did the truth make you angry?" He said sarcastically as Eric clenched his hands and took quick steps toward Carl.
"Everyone stop!" Irene said with a sigh.
"Don't you hear what he's saying!?" Eric said angrily as he looked at Irene.
"Anyway, stop this! You're my mom too!"
Her expression was amazed as Carl raised his head in condescension.
"what !"
Eric cut her off.
"Okay, well, well !
