The quiet room stood there for a few minutes before the sound of my footsteps as I approached my bed. Another thing that doesn't make sense. Elijah came himself to make sure that we wouldn't notice the drugging and he didn't seems to mind that Eleanor saw. Why though? What was the intruders if he didn't want to hurt me?
Then the door freaked open and the tiger twins came in and Dominic followed.
"So, what was under the rug?"
Dominic said nonchalantly, as if the telling I got from him before never happened. He probably figured it out himself, with his intuition he probably figured out a lot of things. For a high class his intuition is extremely high, he could compare with one of us.
"Nothing much."
I replied back then lying down onto my bed, it was all an act for relaxation. Hopefully they brought it, but it seems my acting skills need work.
"Don't think we'll fall for that act stallion,"
"We're just as concerned about Fox as you are."
"What was under the rug,"
I looked at the twins who had given me a mini lecture, well aren't they brave.
I stood up and walked to them in a lazy manner, I went a circle around them then stopped. With a glare and a smirk I repaid them in kind.
"Why do you want to know? It's not as if you asked her as well. Oh, I forgot, I was the only one bothered to ask. I think you got your information wrong though. I wasn't thinking of her wellbeing, I was thinking of my own. Because unlike you three, I'm a greedy selfish bastard of a noble."
The last sentence had paused between each word. I got closer and my eyes widened and my smirk got smug.
I back up after I finished with that and went back to my bed. Silence came and didn't leave for a good few seconds.
Dominic was full on glaring at me before he came up to me.
"Don't think you can just say that to me about Eleanor and get something out of it, if that was suppose to be intimidating then try again with some new poetry. We'd all like to have deaf ears wouldn't we? NO, Just because your an heir doesn't mean you can look down on me, look down on the twins! You better change, for the sake of everyone."
He walked out muttering inaudible words and slammed the door behind himself.
I scratched the back of my head in the awkwardness.
"So are you going to tell us what happened?"
"We are all heirs so we all have the same rights to each others burden."
"Fine,"
I ended up giving in to their logic, is that bad?
"We overslept a day because someone drugged us but Eleanor wasn't there at the time of the drugging. Then intruders came in after to finish the job when the drug was active, Eleanor went out to deal with them and lock picked the door with a hairpin which was the object under the rug."
A silence came in as the twins did some more thinking.
"Ok,"
"She's alright?"
I answered with a nod and brushed my hair back with my hand before both of them fell to my side. I sighed and went back to my bed to relax and lay down. Thoughts came rushing through in this inactive position. Memories previous thoughts and opinions then something at the back of my mind crept up on my conscience and revealed itself while I was thinking of Elijah.
Will I join him or take the position of head of Coltus?
I don't want to take over Coltus because that will be the absolute end of a normal life, no escape anywhere, that name is the strongest cage in existence. I'd also happily kill my parents. My childhood was a living nightmare. It was constant study and work, everything to turn me into a robotic commander, a Coltus heir has the harshest childhood of any noble family because of its military background. You need to attack from any position, whether that be manipulation or direct force or through as far as 10th hand control. It's a brainwashing experience, I regret not snapping out of it earlier, it was too late back then.
If I do join him the world will fall into chaos and I know for a fact that the Deos Terrae will not back down. A world war will break out and all energies will be exhausted after that. If it does happen then the world might possibly enter an era of poverty. Since the Deos Terrae will be in the front lines all high standings will fall. It will also be certain that Coltus will be in the front lines.
Now this sounds extreme because it's the worst that could happen but the best that could happen wasn't the best outcome either. I don't want to go back to brainwashing but I don't want the world to go into poverty. Now if my parents win then it will be even worse I will be subjected to brainwashing again. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that after they had me they were infertile, that's why they find me so important. If I were to disappear then the Coltus main line ends there.
This brings me to two choices.
Join Elijah and sabotage then from the inside then once the world wins then I'll run. The other option is too take over Coltus and win the war.
Now with the cons and pros taken with risks the best option would be to sabotage the rebellion. The thing is, there are a lot more unknown facts along this path. And we are back to where we started. Should I join Coltus or Xhylum?
All this thinking is stressful. I turned my head from looking up and saw everyone asleep on their respective beds and the chandelier light still glowing it's warm light. I got up from the bed and went to take a shower and got ready for bed. Turning off the lights I went to my bed to put all my thoughts to sleep and worry about it when my luck takes a dip.
