*Ancient time*
*Sandra POV*
i was confused!
"Why would your elder brother tried to...." i stop mid sentence as i saw his face fell.
He was ....sad?!!!
He took a deep breath, sat on bed and lowered his gaze on floor.
i didn't knew why but next moment i was sitting beside him patting back as if i was coaxing a child.
"Is...everything alright?" i asked not sure if i should have asked.
"It's a long story. you probably don't wanna hear it"he replied keeping his eyes locked on floor.
"Night!" i called making him look into my eyes.
"if you want someone to talk i am here but if you don't want to it's fine. i know you will get through it" with that said i proceeded to lay down but before i could night spoke
"my elder brother hates me"
I paused for a moment and looked at him.
"Why?" i asked
Night took a deep breath as if he was gathering his courage and spoke
"Because he thinks i am the reason his mother died and our eldest brother is in coma"
to say i was struck by lightening was the correct phrase because that how shocked i was.
"How? what happened?" i asked
"7 years ago me my brother Shade ( the one who tried to kill Night) and our eldest brother Blade all lived in the castle with our father.
my father had an official wife who is my mother but after a long period they couldn't bare a child so my father married a concubine named marry who soon gave birth to twins....blade and shade.
(Yes Blade and shade are twins but blade is 5 minutes older than shade)
My mother was jealous of them and that is how marry and my mom became enemies.
After 1 year of shade and blade's birth i was born
Despite our mothers being at odds we all brother were really close and loved each other till bones.
The best brother out of us was blade
He was smart, kind, talented,good leader basically every quality required for a crown prince was in him
But on the day of choosing the successor our father choose me.
which casued a fight between their mother and king
she claimed that the title belonged to Blade because he was obviously better and on top of all oldest.
our father didn't listen and ordered to announce it in the public the next day.
Angry and frustrated marry climbed a high roof threatening to jump if justice wasn't given. me and blade rushed to save her.
I held blade by his hand by standing on the window while he stepped outside to save his mother.
just as he was about to pull her an arrow was shot in Blade's direction. his mother pulled him away and took the shot and died on spot while blade fell of the roof."
Night explained but i was still confused....if Night didn't shot the arrow then why was he accused of killing marry and blade?
So i asked him and i shocked when he replied
"The arrow that was aimed at blade had a tiger symbol at its tale"
