on the other side...

Xin Yichen came to look for Ryuu who was staring outside the window with a blank look. When he felt someone's presence, he turned his head and looked at his father. He evaded his eyes. He couldn't bring himself to look into his eyes.

He had taken matters of security into his hands but a mishap still occurred. If not for his quick reflexes, his sister would have been shot dead at her own wedding. He not only failed his father but also failed as a brother; which brother cared more about his empire than his sister? Years ago, he had promised his mother that he would always take care of his family but apparently, he failed there too.

"It was not your fault," Xin Yichen said.

"Hah..." Ryuu exhaled.

"You know Ryuu that your sister is not safe anywhere."

"But it was our sanctuary, father. They crossed the threshold of our sanctuary.Fathom, what else they are willing to do just to annihilate Xins?" Keeping his voice even, Ryuu asked.
