Vine bowed his head and said.
"I am this guy's old man. Vine Guadalupe."
Cyrus stood from his throne and invited Resh to whisper something then spoke.
"Nice to meet you. I there anything that we can help you with?" Cyrus was too polite that it made Kiel's brows knotted.
Cyprus broke the silence and said.
"The tale bearers are dismissed. Nevi can we have a talk with your visitor. It seems that he is interested at how your doing."
Nevi and Kiel bowed and left the throne.
As soon as the palace door got shut. Resh, Cyrus, Cyprus and Mem kneel down.
"Long live, Thank you for coming back. We humbly welcome you." Cyrus stated.
Vine just nod his head acknowledgement.
"As you all know Nevi is my son. I don't know why he was summoned back here but certainly I did wish to send him back. I also want to confirm if Lehi is here?"
Cyrus answered politely.
"Yes, Lehi is with us. But Nevi is the only one who can answer your question."
Vine studied the throne.
"This place is not the original. What happened?"
Resh was the one who spoke.
"Pardon my manners but I want to discuss things with you. This young men won't be able to answer the question you behold."
Cyrus and Cyprus sighed when Resh led the Vine somewhere.
"This is nerve-wracking. I did not expect to see the man whom I only knew through stories." Cyprus commented.
"Yup, I exactly don't know how to react toward Vine and Nevi." Cyrus added.
"I will see to it that Nevi and Kiel will be busy." Mem suggested.
Cyrus gave his approval and ask Cyprus to visit their mother's room.
Vine observed the area and can see that even the elder's office was gone.
Resh led vine to where the elder's were burried with Celicia and his daughter.
"Here they are. This was your favourite place within the Kingdom your highness."
Resh can see that Vine wanted to be alone. He excused himself and look back to see how he stood.
His back was the same of the late queen. More broader than Celicia and softer than his twin sister. Resh felt like he walk back unto an ancient ground.
Kiel and Nevi was surprise to hear when Mem came holding a single paper sending them out of the Kingdom.
"Ophir and Lehi will be there with you to fetch the needed herbs for the garden renovation. Wercy will be accompanying you as he is assigned to deliver the linens and robe. Here is the key for his chains.The carriage is ready for you. Hassle Up Tale Bearers... Off to the mission."
It happened so fast that even Nevi and Kiel did not processed what just happened. The ride went on track but his mind was still blocked. Lehi pinched Nevi's nose.
"Stop spacing. What happened?"
Lehi asked. Nevi scoot closer unto Lehi and whispered.
"My old man is here."
"What?!" Lehi exclaimed standing up that made her head hit the ceiling.
Nevi had her arms wrapped unto her shoulder to prevent her from falling.
Ophir helped her to settle down and inquired. When he heared what just happened. His eye socket almost jump out of his lashes.
"How?" Ophir mouthed.
Nevi shrugged at him and was truthfully clueless.
"And it does not make sense for them to send me out for a mission. Something is fishy here." Nevi complained.
Vine read, prayed and kneeled in front of every grave. When he reached his daughter's grave he wept. His sadness overloaded.
"I was absent when you grew up but I am proud to see that you rose your children's well. They kneeled in front of me fully knowing that I am their uncle. They regarded me as king even if I am not crowned or throned. It took me long but I am home." Vine voiced out as he trailed at Celicia's grave.
Resh waited for Vine to calm down before inviting him unto the tower where Kiel got locked up from his previous training. Resh cannot believe in what is before him. It was the man who saved the El Oathniel Kingdom. Making it a vine unto a fruitful long established generation.
Vine spotted the young Sotai version and cannot help but be giddy.
Resh served him the tea and snacks.
He politely accommodated Vine that surprised Cyrus and Cyprus who are watching from a distance.
"Don't you think that Resh is being biased?" Cyrus aired.
"Well aside from being a pervert he is a bias. Another weak point to take note with."
Vine noticed the pair of eyes watching them but pretended not to care. He needs to take it slow. Or all his cards will be served on the deck. Vine sip the tea and practiced the proper etiquette and asked.
"So, tell me exactly what happened."
Resh started to open a page that was not writen on papers and ink.
"According to my father, after you cross the dimension. The El Oathniel got established but there are many who thirst the rank and power. Your daughter became the next queen and concieved. The men who bowed in front of you are your relative. Your daughter gave her best but got betrayed by her own husband. He refuse to accept that the one who was ruling was his wife. So he plotted to betray and killed his wife. He stab her in the heart while asleep.
It was Cyprus who discovered witnessed everything. Thus in anger and grief he beat his own father to death at the age of four. Ever since then Cyrus took over the throne at the age of nine. But was cutt off for six years by Cyprus and then the present. The truth is the Kingdom is will be in huge crises. Kish have seen the vision. A man in his black and white hair will invite the black orbs and plate to rain down in the Kingdom. We are secretly training our Royal Aid but it seems that we won't be able to halt it's fast phase approach."
