Chapter 77

Phoenix with a smile: "I'll talk to my big brothers about it; they'll be back soon."
Eric looked at Phoenix while Eric grabbed Eric's palm and whispered, "Let's continue our fun out of here, until you have a good grasp of your strength."
He dragged him while the latter said, "Wait!"
But they had already left, and he only whispered: "The legend's twin is still alive?"
Then she settled: "The prince and this stranger with him are behaving childishly!!"
..............
Night fell where everyone is supposed to sleep deeply.. and here Catherine enters the rooms of her young ones to reassure them..
I entered her little Carl Alert first, he was lying down trying to sleep, so I came close to him and kissed his forehead..
Catherine: "Why is my little boy still awake?"
He looked at her a little, then said, "I don't know; I'm a little worried... about Carl."
Catherine sighed and then straightened her stance: "You don't have to sleep now and tomorrow you can think as you like; don't tire yourself.. I will check on him, not on you."
Carl didn't respond as Catherine walked outside: "I'll come back to you later to make sure you're asleep."
She left quietly and went to her little room; She had dark brown hair and blue eyes.
Catherine sighed, "Baby Karen, why are you still awake?"
She approached her to notice that her eight-year-old was sleeping peacefully in her arms.
Catherine wondered: "Why is Kanzi sleeping here?"
Karen sat on her bed with her hands lightly removed: "My cousin sleeps in his room and he came to me saying he's a stranger and he's afraid to sleep with him."
Catherine kissed her brow, "Why are you awake?"
Karen anxiously: "Actually...Kanzie says Carl moves a lot in his sleep, strangely."
Catherine raised an eyebrow, "Well, what's so worrying about it?"
Karen lays down again: "Kanzie looked worried as if something was wrong with Carl Smith so I'm afraid he'll wake up at any moment."
Catherine imprinted a kiss on Kanzi's forehead: "You don't have to sleep and I'll go to him."
Karen grabbed her hand anxiously, "Don't go."
Catherine marveled at her as Karen stood up and said, "Or I'll go with you; I'm really worried about what Kanzi said."
I went out with her to the Kanzen room where Carl Smith sleeps..
Karen refused to let her mother open the door, she opened it and entered with her mother.
Carl Smith was turning over in his bed as if panting and panting.
Catherine: "What a girl! Your cousin is really sick!"
She ran towards him and removed the quilt and was surprised to see Carl's terrified eyes while he was holding his neck and panting heavily, and cans of water and juice lying beside him on the bed after he had emptied them all from drinking..
Karen approached and was behind her mother, looking at him worriedly..
Catherine worried: "How does Carl Smith feel?"
Carl whispered: "I'm thirsty..."
Catherine was surprised as he continued: "And I don't drink no matter what I drink.."
He looked at Karen while she hid more behind her mother..
Catherine tries to hide her anxiety: "Karen, don't be afraid; I'm going to wake up your father and take him to the hospital, okay?"
Karen nodded worriedly, so Catherine started to leave, but Karen was hesitant to turn between her mother and Carl ..
I stood in amazement when I felt that there was a slight redness in Carl 's eyes while the other looked at Karen's neck..
Karen leaned back a little while Carl had already pounced on her and she fell into a chair behind her and bit her neck.
She was about to scream, but he grabbed her mouth as she tried to resist, her eyes tearing up.
"Hello my red note... Looks like my comeback has made trouble for this world and my family again..! Where's Ace Alert? Why did he leave me at my uncle's house that day? Why didn't he tell me I turned into a vampire? How did this happen!? My new girlfriend.... I am upset..."
Her eyes were crying silently; Unable to scream and run away in the hands of her cousin Carl, who drinks her blood and hurts her neck..
She is now very scared..and terrified of him..
She is just a twelve-year-old girl.
"Carl!!!"
This was Carl Alert's voice, and Carl Smith's eyes returned to normal and he fell back in shock when he saw Karen..
What was he doing!?
He raised his hand near his mouth to make sure... blood!? He was actually drinking blood!?
Karen was trembling in fear as she cried, her sobs reaching her ears.
And Carl Smith did not yet understand what happened!
Meanwhile, Catherine entered, with Nicholas next to her, to shock her and run to her child, who shivered when she saw blood stained from her clothes!!
I hugged her and saw Carl , who backed away anxiously: "I... I didn't mean... Believe me!"
The other Carl answered directly: "I believe you, Carl..."
Catherine looks at her child angrily: "Carl!!"
Smith's son swallowed his saliva, shivered a little and for a moment remembered his bad past with her..
Helplessly on his knees on his knees, Catherine went out with her little girl, trying to calm her down, saying: "Get Carl out of the house now!!!"
Ibn Alert said: "But my mother!!"
Catherine sharply: "Don't you see your sister's condition!!?"
He looked at her to see that she was still terrified and trembling in her mother's hands, so he was satisfied with silence while Carl Smith ran towards the window and jumped out of it, ignoring the calls of Carl Alert..
Carl Alert looked at his father: "I'm going! I know it's late for you..."
Nicholas interrupts him with his eyes closed: "Just go..."
The other smiled and ran outside, ignoring his mother, who began to complain that her luck was always with a man who had cold feelings towards his children and did not care that they got into trouble!!
........
He hadn't decided where to go, he already looked upset.
He ran for a while, until he saw that he was at his brethren's residence earlier; He entered it quietly and was surprised that one of them included his limbs in one of the corners of the headquarters...
He approached him, and the other one raised his eyes: "Mister Alfen?"
Carl approached him: "My name is Carl Smith, and you?"
The other smiled faintly: "And I Tris, sir, have you forgotten? As soon as Mr. Falcone kicked me out, you n.."
The other interrupted him, "I don't know what you're saying so just let me sleep..."
He lay silently while Tris said anxiously to him, "Sir, go back to the mansion; it's so lonely here..."
The other replied coldly: "I don't have a place to go back to."
Triss surprised: "It is impossible for Mr. Falcone to expel you either! You've been put in his palace and made my masters serve you! You already have a place to turn to!"
Carl sat looking at him, and Tres said weakly, "I can show you the palace, but I can't go in with you."
Carl stood up: "Let's go... and I'll take you in with me if I can!!"
He reached out one hand to Triss and the other stood up as Carl Alert entered the residence, panting.
Carl Smith was surprised: "You followed me!?"
Carl Alert: "With difficulty..."
He grabbed his knees and looked at them seriously: "Falcon's Palace is no place for Carl Smith, Trace!! They are the Guardians of the Forbidden Palace and they will definitely put him back in the coffin!! We won't let them seal it again!!"
Triss looked at him in surprise: "They treat him like another master besides Mr. Falcone!"
Carl Alert refuses: "We can go to Phoenix Palace and stay with Rex since he's away... Carl Smith; I'm not mad at you and my sister will be fine... Let's go... If you're thirsty you can just tell us and we'll help you."
Carl looked the other way while Carl Alert came and grabbed his palms excitedly: "You can drink my blood, okay! I agree."
Carl Smith was surprised as he was dragged and Trace looked at them as they walked away.
Carl Smith turned: "Hey Triss, we're right!"
Tris smiled happily and ran after them.
Here they are in front of the Phoenix Palace...
Carl picked up his phone and called Rex repeatedly until he answered.
Rex drowsily: "What is this Carl ?"
Carl Alert: "Your uncle at the door wants to come in."
Rex was surprised and just sat down: "What brings you Carl at this time!?"
He looked at his watch: "What is this...!"
Carl interrupted him, "Are you going to make us wait that long!!"
Rex: "Okay okay!!"
He ran quickly, changed his clothes, washed his face, and then went out to enter them, surprised.
Carl Alert: "What a tidy boy, you could have gone out in our pajamas instead of being late for us..."
Rex didn't care and looked at Carl Smith: "Please, please, please! Let me talk to Uncle Rex!"
Carl Alert bored him off his clothes: "The three of us are going to sleep here tonight; give us a place, please."
Rex excitedly: "Okay!"
I bowed to Carl Smith: "Dear Uncle, my room is yours!"
Carl looked at him in surprise as Rex began to walk him to his room: "Tris and Arle, wait for me to go with Uncle!"
Carl Alert is bored.
Rex entered his suite and looked at Carl Smith happily: "You know my grandfather named me Thomas Rex for you!"
Carl Bored: "Rex, you can talk to your clumsy nephew."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly hugged him and his voice changed: "I can't believe my younger brother has become a father and you are his son!"
Younger Rex looks at him happily: "My dad used to tell me a lot about you and Uncle Scott!"
Elder Rex: "Wow Phoenix did that? I wonder what he's been like after all those years!"
Younger Rex laughs lightly: "Unfortunately he's on a business trip! I'll make sure you see him when he gets back!"
Elder Rex surprised: "Where did he get this mansion from..?"
Younger Rex: "From my grandfather Thomas! My father was adopted so he is my grandfather!"
Elder Rex with a smile: "He's kind-hearted no matter how cold and tough he looks."
Younger Rex asks: "But he's really good; he doesn't look cold or tough like he adopted my Uncle Ray..."
Elder Rex was suddenly silent: "And what did Phoenix reply to him?"
Younger Rex: "The two of them have been looking pretty bad lately after he showed off his white hair and green eyes; he's been cheating on us with brown hair and blue eyes all the time from my birth until recently; my dad says it's just a bad past they had together.. I don't know what's really wrong with them.."
Elder Rex whispered: "Phoenix..."
.............
Speaking of Phoenix; Here he is sitting on tiptoes looking at Eric who is leaning against the wall, tired and panting.
They were in one of the humble wooden houses..
Phoenix: "You should rest, Eric."
Eric tiredly: "Although you are always by my side, and even helped me to get my sight back... you did so much for me... Despite all this, I... I don't know what to say but..."
Phoenix grabbed Eric's hand when he felt nervous: "I already promised you, didn't I? I'll stay by your side forever..so don't hesitate."
He whispered and continued: "I am really happy to be with you.. to be your servant, friend, and brother, and be the cause of your happiness; I'll do whatever you want... so don't hesitate to do anything, okay?"
I bowed lightly to him, "I'm so happy for you, Eric."
Eric smiled at him and then muttered, "I'd like to hurt someone; bring me a prey that won't scream easily.. I want stubbornness.. I enjoy hearing the screams but this time... I want someone who will be late before he starts his symphony."
Phoenix: "I'll do that, sir, but.. you're already exhausted and need to sleep.. I'll get this prey ready for you to start with tomorrow, okay?"
Eric whispered: "But I feel so badly tempted to hurt someone; if now is not the time to bring in prey...let me do it to you..."
Phoenix was a little surprised while Eric whispered, already tired: "I'm going to hurt you, Phoenix, please bring me the tools, my servant Prince.."
A moment of silence made Eric doubt Phoenix: "Was your promise to me a lie?"
Phoenix smiled cunningly for a moment before deciding to answer.
