On Sunday morning, several magazines and newspapers were emblazoned with photos of Diana and Alexander. Even a famous international magazine portraying the main events of the elites of each country made a cover with the couple that looked like a pair of deities covering the world with their radiant light and many people were very curious to know who the beautiful young lady with Alexander Dunkelheit, after all, the Diana's name has not been published.
The reason? Alexander wanted to get people to think, speculate, and, some, investigate.
And it worked… even beyond what was necessary.
A certain duchess and her loyal vassals in country E have already begun to investigate.
And worse, a certain marquess of country M began to investigate.
However, as soon as information about Diana began to be investigated on the network, Alexander received notice from his hacking group.
Regardless of the sun or hurricane, he was prepared to protect her.
But what made Alexander curious was the marquis's involvement. For the duchess he is waiting for her.
So, as the cautious and controlling man he was, he asked his best hacker and younger cousin, Anthony Dunkelheit Piet, to fully investigate the Marquis. Meanwhile, Anthony should block information about Diana. If anyone wants to investigate, they will have to use the old means.
And he would soon receive the Marquis report and it was more frightening than he could imagine.

On Monday, Diana entered Alexander's office as she had all last week.
Secretary Weber was reading the notes while Assistant Kim and Assistant Reeves held heavy stacks of documents.
Miss Hewett came in with a porcelain teapot with tea and strawberry and chocolate muffins.
A scene that has become routine for Diana.
- President, the seventh will send the shipment of metals and stones to Dunkelheit Shine today. I hear the stones are excellent. - Said the assistant Kim. - He also made a strange request. He said he's bringing a person with him this week. He asked to organize documents and a girls' school, preferably a boarding school.
Kim placed the information on underworld affairs on Alexander's desk and made a brief report. He spoke calmly and carefully so as not to leak specific information to Diana.
- What is that idiot doing? Got a pet to play with? - Asked Alexander, raising an eyebrow.
- I hear old Piet has asked Mr. Douglas for help in finding company for his son.
- Sometimes I wonder how that irresponsible old man managed to handle business so well for so many years… it's probably age that is making him senile.
- President, he asked the girl to stay with Lady Aimer.
- With me? - Diana asked, startled.
- How old is the girl? - Asked Alexander.
- Thirteen.
- Is a good idea. Diana needs people to take care of her. We'll send the girl for training and then let her accompany Diana.
- Why are you deciding without my opinion? - Complained Diana.
- You are the future lady Dunkelheit, you need a suitable escort. That friend of yours isn't bad, but she doesn't have proper training. Just listen to my arrangements.
Diana sighed and decided not to argue. It would not make any difference in the man's decision, it would only cause misunderstanding, annoyance and waste of time.
- Do what you think is best. - She sighed bitterly and looked down at the tablet in her hand, sitting on the soft sofa and reading some design reports sent by her secretary, Grace.
- When will Henry arrive? - Asked Alexander.
- Eighteen hours. As always, the plane will land on the Dunkelheit Shine runway. - Kim answered.
- Good. Make arrangements to send the girl to Eric, Anthony, and Mrs. Jones. They must train the girl.
Kim was slightly surprised but after thinking about who the girl would serve, the surprise gave way to understanding.
Eric Dunkelheit Brienne, twenty-seven, was known as the "Fifth Demon" in the faction. He is the fourth cousin of Alexander, the fifth of cousins Dunkelheit and son of the elder miss of the Dunkelheit family. He has a high-ranking military rank in the army, responsible for three elite national army teams.
And it was the man who trained all the men and women of iron and blood who served their masters with their lives, the elite of the Dunkelheit family: lady Dunkelheit, Alexander's mother; the three ladies, Alexander's aunts; and the eight masters, Alexander and his seven cousins. Now they also protect young lady Dunkelheit, Diana.
All the bodyguards and hidden guards scattered around the Dunkelheit family estates and those who watched Diana twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, were trained by Eric.
Even the elite of the national army was not as well trained as the men who spent three years in the training complex in Dunkelheit Shine, after all, Eric put much more effort into his family than to work.
These private soldiers learned martial arts proposed to kill quickly and efficiently; handle various types of weapons, whether fire or not; hiding his presence and making his aura as intimidating as that of a hungry wolf who had his dinner stolen; disguise and espionage.
And then there were those who were chosen by Anthony Dunkelheit Piet, the best hacker in the world. At age seven, he used to break into the defense systems of various countries to pass the time and learn how to improve his security programs and the general security of the Dunkelheit family.
He is the only brother of Henry Dunkelheit Piet. Anthony was the youngest Dunkelheit cousins. At the age of twenty-three, Anthony enjoyed working with his three cousin: the third cousin, Steve, the fourth cousin, Alexander, and the fifth cousin, Eric, building high-tech weapons and robots.
His subordinates received intensive training in the art of computers. Anthony chose only the smartest to receive his gruesome training. His students called him the "Eighth Demon."
Mrs. Jones, on the other hand, though not touching guns beyond necessity and looking as sweet as Grandma, was actually as restricted as the two men. She couldn't stand mistakes and if someone made a mistake, she would have to endure the pain. She would teach the maids the proper way to make tea, set the table, clean, organize, cook, wash and even massage her master.
Thinking of these three beings from hell, Kim felt sorry for the little girl who would go through this cruel training.
Diana felt better knowing she wouldn't have to take care of someone so quickly.
- What's the girl's name? - She asked.
- The seventh master said he has no name, so the Lady can choose. - Kim answered.
- Does a thirteen-year-old not have a name? - Diana asked raising her eyebrows.
- Diana, don't ask questions if you don't want to know the answer. - Said Alexander quietly.
Diana understood his suggestion. She knew the Dunkelheit family was not as clean as it seemed. Sure, she doesn't know 1% of what happens in the underworld but, working with Alexander, she found that LSM was created by him and Anthony to create electronic games, applications and programs that could steal user information and that It was used on the black market.
LSM Enterprise was basically an undercover espionage company.
What she didn't know was that LSM Enterprise spying went as far as tracking down GPS location information for targets to sell, or the underworld group would use it.
After a hard day's work, the couple drove to Dunkelheit Shine.
Diana took a shower, dressed appropriately, and helped Alexander receive three of his seven cousins.
Eric Dunkelheit Brienne, the fifth son with Dunkelheit lineage.
Henry Dunkelheit Piet, the seventh son with Dunkelheit lineage.
Anthony Dunkelheit Piet, the eighth son with Dunkelheit lineage.
That was pretty scary, but it would give you a general idea of what to expect from the Dunkelheit family elders.
Diana got into the car and sat elegantly next to Alexander, the car stopping ten minutes later in the hangar beside the private runway.
Five minutes later, a aircraft landed on the runway and was sent to the hangar.
A tall, charming man with features very similar to Alexander descended from the jet. He was perfectly muscular, a body that can make any woman drown in her own drool. His short honey brown hair and sapphire blue eyes were amazing. He had a very short, well-groomed beard, extremely attractive, and exuded a sensual, masculine but dangerous aura. He was as divine as Alexander.
However, Alexander managed to have more handsome and charming features, was taller and his body looked more sensual.
And poor Diana was trying not to drool in front of these two divine men.
"Are all men with Dunkelheit blood handsome like that?" Diana thought. She remembered the Dunkelheit portraits in the castle and sighed. Yes, eighty percent of the Dunkelheit in the portraits were pretty.
- Brother Henry, you have arrived! Mom missed you. - Shouted a warm, bright male voice. The voice was slightly hoarse and seductive.
When Diana looked in the direction the voice came from, she felt she couldn't stand it.
Two wonderfully attractive and seductive men were approaching.
Both were tall and muscular bodies, but one was thinner than the other.
They, like Alexander and Henry, were in their twenties.
The first was the tallest and robust. Eric Dunkelheit Brienne, with his testosterone-filled body, manly and extremely sexy muscles. He was slightly similar to Alexander but, the most striking features were similar to Mr. Brienne. Golden blond hair and emerald green eyes. He was a military man and exuded sensuality, strength, security, power and danger.
The second was the thinner than the first. Anthony Dunkelheit Piet, he received training and the good genes of the Dunkelheit family so his body was thin but muscular. He had a sensual, elegant and gentle aura, nothing like his three dangerous brothers, but whoever believes in his aura is mistaken.
This beautiful young man could send anyone to hell. And maybe women would have a smile when that happened. His face was divine, just like the other three but, not as handsome as Alexander, his honey-colored hair and sapphire blue eyes were the same as his older brother, but his features were a bit more feminine and kind. Nothing like your brothers full of masculine charm.
"Oh, goodness! I'm in heaven! Four gorgeous men in front of me… I'd love to see the eight brothers together, if they are all beautiful, I could die without regrets." Diana sighed and thought of looking at these fine male specimens.
Soon, getting off the jet with the help of a housekeeper, a girl with platinum blond hair and violet eyes walked toward Henry.
The little girl hid behind Henry and looked curiously at the laughing brothers, playing and making fun of each other.
- Hey, Fourth Cousin, who's the beauty? Henry asked Alexander.
Of course he know, but his cousin should make the introductions.
- Let me introduce you, this is my fiancee, Diana. - Said Alexander quietly. - Diana, these are my cousins. Eric, Henry and Anthony. You can call them by numbers. Eric is the fifth, Henry is the seventh and Anthony is the eighth.
- It's a pleasure to meet you, Sirs. - Diana was respectful and formal.
- Sir? I like this girl. Listen, this Sir is called great Anthony. You can call me that.
- Speaks seriously. Why didn't you let me cut this brat's tongue? See, that's why I want to cut! - Complained Eric. - Hello, Diana, you can call me brother Eric or fifth brother.
- Man, my mother won't like it if you cut the idiot's tongue. We'll run out of muffins for Christmas if we do that. - Muttered Henry. - By the way, nice to meet you, fourth sister.
- I'm beginning to think cutting off the eighth tongue isn't a bad idea at all. A pity for the muffins but I think Aunt Maggie will forgive us until Christmas next year. - Commented Alexander absently.
- Hey, the older brothers should not intimidate the younger! - Shouted Anthony.
- Great Anthony should think about that before he talks nonsense. - Eric said sarcastically.
- Is it normal to make fun of each other like that? - Diana asked Alexander softly.
- Yeah. It was worse when we were kids. Replied Alexander in a whisper.
- Excuse me, Mrs. Jones said dinner was almost ready by the time we left. It is better to come back quickly. - Diana said in a neutral, polite voice.
- Hey, how long did Nanna say that? - Asked Anthony.
- About thirty or thirty-five minutes.
- Run! She'll kill us if we're late for dinner. - Anthony shouted and ran to the car.
