Page 23- _Birth of hate_

.... _It entailed everything about Keisuke's mother and the current empress. How she died and the secret behind the new empress. It was quite a spectacle when he came marching at startling speed into the Imperial throne room. Even Emperor Ayanami and the empress sitting beside couldn't hold in their shock. "Is this true father, did you do such a vulgar thing?", his tone was high, seething with heat and teeming of fury. The way he tossed the piece of paper onto his father's legs, more than expressed how hopeful he wanted the letter to be wrong. Emperor Ayanami read the paper and soon after, so did the empress. He looked back at the young prince, surely feeling nothing but stoned-in guilt. But silence confirmed the truth of the letter to Keisuke. His eyes flashed followed by teardrops, and later rained down his cheeks. Storming out the palace, he commanded one of the chauffeurs to drive him back to his aunt's house. Thinking he could ease up a bit and follow him later, Lord Aya was questioned about the letter by the empress. To her, the emperor had divorced his previous wife and had no children when she was pregnant. Clasped in the dilemma, the Emperor tried to dig his way out. "I think this is someone trying to break us apart, don't listen to that fake letter," he said with tons of sweat dripping from his smooth face. "Don't worry my dear lord, i already knew everything, i just waited to see when you'd tell me. I'm not angry, infact, i feel relieved that the truth has finally come out", the empress said, looking very much at ease. Somehow she had already figured out the truth on her own. "But i do feel for young Keisuke, you should let him cool off at his aunt's place until he's ready to come back. I'll also send back Takahiro to my brother's house to avoid any conflict in the family, but you should first tell him the truth as well. He deserves to know," she furthermore added looking as pitiful as she could get. "But that would make it seem like you're the bad person," the emperor's worries were sincere, but nothing was heard. With the exception of a single truth, the empress gave Lord Ayanami a burdening idea. "You'll make sure to tell them that i was simply the victim in this case, you DID lie to me after all." A week passed with the emperor boil-headed and full of stress. The empress pressured him every day and every night. At last, he gathered the courage to tell his fourth son. Hiro played an exaggerated act of surprise, but in reality he wasn't. After peeking in the day he heard the commotion, he knew what was going on. He went back to his uncle in accordance with his mother's will, but his twin sister and younger twin siblings were left at the palace. The following day Emperor Ayanami went to look for Keisuke, but when he arrived, the young prince had gone abroad. Sworn to secrecy, Aosaka couldn't say where. Even the emperor had no right to force it out of her, infact, he kneeled down and apologized before his former sister-in-law. She forgave him instantly without a second thought. After her sister's death, all she could do was believe in redemption and salvation, but she still couldn't tell him the overseas destination. Hearing the sad news, Takahiro begged his uncle to send him abroad. He lied about it being for better education, but he more than wanted to console his own brother. Knowing Keisuke, he was well aware of where he would be. The following week, a one-way ticket to England was booked. And with luck he was able to find Keisuke, but not in the state he expected. Senami didn't want anything to do with Hiro or anyone, infact, he was angry enough to change schools. After a few attempts at reuniting, Takahiro gave up and felt alone. He came to hate Keisuke's attitude and thus they were at each other's throats from then. All they did was focus on school, and they cut-off connections with people here except Shōta (Hiro's uncle), Aosaka (Kei's aunt) and me. I received letters of their day to day events most of the time. You could say this is the first time they've been to this villa after coming back to Japan. Which brings us to now, they are fighting for the one to take the room, i hope you're not sleeping out on me already._

Ayami was off the coast, she didn't know that listening to her story was interesting and perplexing to Rin in many ways. Hearing her story left many broken pieces sticked together, but in the same way , stirred up a massive pot of confusion and questions. But she had to process everything and ask questions later, after all, bringing up such a sad story was inappropriate.

Rintarõ... _I'm not sure what to say, but thank you for telling me the story. I feel like hugging them right now, but i'm pretty sure their fight isn't worth disturbing._

She put on a nice smile, but hidden underneath was her mind screaming, "Takahiro has a twin sister?!!
