"Are you sure you know what are you doing, Alex?" Calix was not the only one who wanted to know the answer but the same question was dancing in the eyes of everyone.

"If you think Leo is the better ruler, then i apologize for disappointing you all. But i have decided that i would take over the empire for father." he announced in a calm but deep and grim voice that could not be disobeyed.

"It is not about him but you!" Aurelia shook her head as she placed her hands on his shoulders. "Mother only wanted your happiness. And all of us know that you never wanted this position. Is it because of that Oliver? He is already dead yet he controls your mind and decision making power, Alex! He had tried to kill one of us." she sighed and closed her eyes as she felt her words choking her and tears spilled her eyes.

"I am failing to recognize you Alex. i wonder where my brother had gone." said Aurora as she held Aurelia who cried in her arms.
