Chapter 41
She and Eric gasped simultaneously, and quickly realized.
"And you put the two enemies in one place! Wow! Your pampered Carl will die after that!"
"I will control them while they are in my possession, not as if..."
Then he fell silent to change his speech.
"No, not only Eric! It's Irene and Irina too!"
"No you won't!"
"I won't? I'm going to throw your son in prison then shame us all! Maybe the prison will raise him!"
She was silent and cried, imagining that she would remain alone, away from her children, while he ignored her and dragged his son to get in the car and call Erin and order him without any discussion to come to his palace immediately, he and his sister.
And here he arrived at his palace and saw Irene and Irina had already preceded him..
Irina looked at her father's angry face and came towards him with a cheerful smile, she gently grabbed his face and moved her lips..
[Dad, don't stress yourself out too much]
Thomas felt really calm, and only saw himself leaving Eric and hugging Irina in his arms.. it was a mass of quiet tenderness missing in this family..
He pulled away from her and patted her head with a faint smile.
"How do you say you allocate rooms to everyone?"
I nodded in agreement and started running to assign each one of them a room.
It didn't take long for the palace to come back to life! Eren is here copying, Eric is locked in his room, and Irina runs and helps the servants who have just come with everyone's luggage..And among the servants was Phoenix!
Thomas raised an eyebrow as he looked at him.
"what are you doing here?"
"And why did my brother not have the right to live here, and I did not?"
"I think you are taking his place in your dark world."
"I know I'm not welcome and I'll be leaving soon, don't worry.."
Thomas ignored him and then looked at Irene who was copying..
He slowly walked towards him, and Irene raised his head when he felt him close.
"What's up dad?"
Thomas lowered him.
"Irene, I trust you."
Erin looked into his father's eyes in confusion.
"I'm going out and I want you to keep an eye on Eric , I've assigned him butlers but because they're new I can't trust them quickly , I count on you, okay?"
Irene nodded in agreement as Thomas left for the hospital..
He started looking at the room numbers, walking to room 13, where his son was sleeping, but he entered wrongly without noticing room ..
He slowly walked over to the bed and then stopped moving.
His heart began to pound and he became tense from the situation he was in.
He hadn't planned for this.
The first thing she said when she saw him...
He didn't expect to see her so quickly? It's been sixteen years since I've seen her! She hasn't changed much, but she just looks pale and tired.
The first thing she asked him about was her son, her son who sleeps in the next room, he wonders when she wakes up at this time and no one is around.
"Before this, how did you know about Daniel's death?"
"Daniel???"
"Carl's twin , they named him Daniel and..." He was silent and his words stuttered, not long after seeing Daniel and now he disappeared, he didn't find anything to say, so he was silent as he looked at her..
He ordered her to trust him to take care and protect young Carl, but did he keep his promise?
T.. Mr. Smith realized that they were no longer in a relationship.
"I want to see Carl before I..." she said, her heart pointing to danger.
"Don't talk, you don't look okay..."
Their dialogue was very normal, although his heart was almost out of place, and the other kept her tension..
"Tell me... did I fail to protect you?"
"Don't talk like that, Smith...forget what has already happened in the past , we all have our families."
"I've already broken up with Catherine."
"What crazy are you talking about I'm tied!"
"Just tell me, did I manage to protect you?!"
"Yes, I am happy to have a family around me , I have a husband and children who have already forgotten me a lot."
"So... I didn't see you in the hospital? Did the..."
He fell silent as he looked at her sharp eyes , She knew he was about to abuse her husband.
"You are incapable of what Regent caused and he is incapable of what others have done , both of you are human, of course, before these merciless beasts!"
His eyes widened in astonishment.
"Who made you sick, tell me! Why, after I broke up with you, they hurt you! I kept Carl away from you so that..."
Silence when he opened the door to enter... Reagan!
Thomas walked toward the door when he saw it and stepped outside.
"wait!"
Reagan grabbed Smith's arm in astonishment.
"What are you doing here, Mr. Smith?"
"My son is in the next room, I just missed the place." He coldly removed his hand to enter Carl's room.
Carl was lying in bed , As soon as Thomas entered, he wiped a tear before his father saw it, but the other knew about it..
He walked quietly and sat down beside his son on the bed and grabbed his palm.
"Carl, you will be surprised by the news I will tell you now."
Carl looked at him, puzzled.
"Your father brought your brothers to live with you."
Carl's feelings fluctuated between wanting a family around him and having Eric the clumsy among them , So he furrows his eyebrows unsatisfied...
"I don't like being tied up, Dad! Don't tie me to the guard."
"Don't worry, I hired servants and guards with..."
Not for you, but to watch Eric and keep him from being reckless.
Carl sighed in relief.
"Carl..."
Carl looked at his father silently.
"No.. nothing. After I checked on you, I can go back now.. don't be reckless and get out of your room, you need a few more hours."
Smith came out and found Reagan's sons before him. He looked at them with bewilderment as the older twin shivered from his presence, remembering his warnings and looks.
Raven bowed slightly.
Welcome, Mr. Smith. The latter had no respect for him, as he had seen him often.
Thomas' silence looks at them confused whether to say what he has or not? But he decided
"Come in." Carl's room door opened while the five were astonished.
"Your brother is here , I put his trust in your hands," he said, then walked away
They looked at each other and Harvey and Jasper entered first and ran towards Carl..
"It really is...." The rest entered behind him , Everyone came to see their mother but they went in to visit their brother and they didn't know yet that their mother had woken up again..
The atmosphere was tense at first. Soon, conversations began and the barrier began to break.
"Who dares to hit you after me?" Raven said and raised an eyebrow as Carl looked at him disapprovingly.
"Oops, he's a clumsy brother just like you."
Zero left, looking at him.
"You really get into trouble a lot," said Nicholas, then his expression changed to enthusiasm.
"Shall we get him to join us, Raven!" Nicholas said excitedly.3
"Pardon?" Raven raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, we join him and..."
'We've really stopped since he saved my mother money'
"We didn't stop, but then we ran some simple errands to continue our amusement," Yosr said, while young Harvey and Jasper sighed.
Raven looked at Carl, perplexed, thinking about it.
"Good idea , to get out of the pampering of the rich and get a little stronger."
Everyone looked toward Carl, waiting for his answer.
The other person looked at them with a slight amazement, then smiled mischievously.
"OK!" He also loves adventure and it's also a chance to bond with his siblings from his mom!
"Wouldn't he be angry with his father?" Jasper asked worriedly.
"Jasper stop being worried, and then he recommended him to us before he left the hospital so that's how we handle things," Raven said and shrugged his shoulders carelessly.
far away , Where that dark world as Thomas called it.
One of the twins sat with his eyes shining red on a rock while the other radiated only his right.. the look of anger was from Rex, the calm and cold from Scott..
"And why should I meet my father's killer? What does he want from me anyway?"
"You killed his son so... it's kind of even..."1
"And why are you insisting on fulfilling his request? Do not pretend to be too kind."
Rex scratched his head and then sat down when he knew it was going to be a long conversation.
"It's a long way to finish the contract , Carl is never like Daniel , let's see what my father's contractor wants from you... I feel something strange about that human, don't you want to end our contract? It won't end if you don't cooperate with me...Most people are waiting for the result of our twin legend Let's not let them down..."
Scott sighed bored and annoyed as he jumped off the rock declaring his agreement to go to Thomas Smith.
Behind his desk Thomas is sitting quietly finishing some papers.
Irene quickly came in.
"Eric is gone, Dad! His guards are looking for him."
Thomas closed his papers in annoyance.
"Fuck him! How could he escape from those rags! I'm supposed to pick the best guards!"
He came out of his office in annoyance, then stopped when he saw Rex..or that's what Thomas thought at first..
"No, you're not Rex..." Thomas muttered as he pondered the expressions of the person standing in front of him.
Although he is a twin of Rex, and his wing and the diversion of his eyes that distinguish the brothers from each other, he feels that he is different.. from the look of his eyes and the expression on his face..
"The one you call Rex said you wanted to see me." He raised an eyebrow questioning while Thomas kept looking at him silently.
What will Carl's relationship be with his brothers with whom he will live again after all these years?
What about his relationship with his brothers who entered their team?
Why did Eric run away and what does he intend to do?
What does Thomas want from Scott?
Our little mouse didn't realize the bad thing he had done , He doesn't see it that much, even if it's new to him..
Yes, Carl's blood-stained imagination is still in his mind, and his appearance as a criminal is still looming in his mind, but all this takes away his strong hatred and malice towards Carl..
Before he even realized Phoenix could shape him as he wanted , This little boy is not difficult to shape.. Didn't his mother shape him how she wanted, while Eren grew up with his own choices?
He is vulnerable and easy to change.. he just needs someone who understands his mentality and can easily change it..
Phoenix took advantage of Eric's past with Carl , He took advantage of his extreme hatred for him and his jealousy , Use every part of Eric's personality to make him an easy-to-control tool.
Our little mouse had intended to use the Phoenix to his advantage, and rejoiced that a servant was in fact a prince because of his pride.
But he doesn't know that the roles have been reversed without him realizing it..
Poor Eric.. he fell victim thinking that he is the master in control here!3
He managed to escape in the midst of all the guards without realizing it... simply because Phoenix helped him!
Here they are sitting in a deserted area, he escaped as best he could from the palace and then lay on the grass.
"How do you feel, my little master, you look annoyed?" Phoenix uttered it as he patted Eric's hair.
"My father punished me, beat me, and tied me to the guard, all for Carl's sake! Do you think I'll be okay after all this!" Then he turned to the other side, annoyed.
"Hmm, well, I don't understand human feelings very well, but I guess it was because he was his son and he didn't like to see him like that."
"Shit, I'm his son too!" He sat up and looked at Phoenix with emotion.
"I hate ignoring my father from a young age! Look at everything that's going on because of him!! You don't want me to prepare problems for you because they won't end!"
"It's okay, sir," he smiled wide, "Tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it for you."
"I don't know... I really don't know..." he said, annoyed.
"You need to empty yourself, sir."
Eric looked at him questioningly, as if asking how?
"Don't you have a way to unload? Shall I teach you?"
"Say what you have..." He looked at him with concentration, ready to receive from him a way to relieve him of this disturbing confusion within him.
