Shion woke up and saw his wife gone, he put on his robe and headed downstairs. Shion overheard Yuri and his children talking in the kitchen, Yuri with a smiling face asked, "What did you do with Papa at the park?" Shion biting his nails hid behind the walls, "We ate a lot of ice cream and candy…played in the park…I got lost and Papa found me…" Juan filled with enthusiasm explained to his curious mama. Yuri was plating their food, "How did you get lost Juan?" Yuna receiving her plate replied, "Papa bought all we wanted I ate a lot of chocolates…Juan fell on his head whilst riding the wild horse luckily he was wearing his helmet…we promised Papa not to tell you so when he asks you don't tell him we told you." Looking at his shadow Yuri asked, "Why shouldn't you tell me?" Juan with food in his mouth replied, "Because mama doesn't know fun…and will scold Papa."
"Aren't you going to join us for breakfast honey?" an angry Yuri squeezed the spoon in his hand. Yuri smacked Shion on the head when he reached to give him a kiss, "Good morning honey." Yuri plated food for Shion, the atmosphere was warm and filled with love. Victor joined the noisy breakfast; the twins were quiet scared of their father. Anya plated food for Victor, unconsciously Yuri said, "Victor usually prefers a dash of pepper on his salad." Shion felt a little jealous to see how Yuri knew what Victor truly loved. Handing Yuri the a folder said, "There is a shareholders meeting after new year, I heard you will be spending New Year with mother at the farm. I will come and pick you and the kids." Yuri looking at Yuna said, "I heard you love going to the farm." Yuri realised Christmas was slowly approaching, a lot needed to be done. Takato climbed down his chair and embraced Daniel, he was holding a suitcase in his hand. Daniel paid his respects to Victor and Anya, looking at Yuri he said, "Yuri, I am here to treat my special friends." Victor was puzzled by how casual and friendly a civilian was to Yuri. "I will be upstairs, Shion will definitely help you out." Yuri was trying to escape, "What are you two up to?" Shion suspiciously looked at Yuri. Daniel looking at the twins said, "It is time for the twins last vaccination. We scheduled it today the last time l visited, I have a date with Talin later so can we wrap this up." "Talin is on duty today…"an annoyed Shion was smashed by Yuri before he finished his sentence. It was Talin and Daniel anniversary, Shion was totally unaware.
Victor, Yuri and Shion were seated waiting for the brave little kids to receive their injections. Yuri with a teary face said, "It will not hurt, I will take you out for ice cream if you bravely take your injection." The twins were perfectly calm, Shion looking at Yuri replied, "Honey, I feel like you need ice cream more than they do." When Daniel injected Yuna, Yuri passed out startling everyone in the room. When he opened his eyes, he saw Shion beside him, he quickly shut his eyes, "The process ended an hour ago, but it is your turn to be vaccinated." Shion busted in laughter when Yuri begged with him to take pills, Victor holding a tray knocked on the door. Yuri sat properly to eat the porridge, "Thank you for the porridge." Victor gently replied, "I thought you would be hungry." Shion kissed him on the forehead before he went to check on the kids.
After taking a few spoons Yuri placed the tray on the dressing table, Victor kept starring at the huge portrait of Yuri and Shion on their wedding day. With a warm smile on his face he said, "You truly looked beautiful." Yuri cleared his throat, "It is all thanks to Daniel, if he hadn't pulled that stunt, I wouldn't have looked beautiful on my wedding." Victor sat beside Yuri, "I will be leaving tomorrow, when you get time please visit us…" Victor saw Yuri bleeding on the mouth and nose…he sniffed the porridge and realised it had been poisoned!
Daniel and Talin made a U-turn when they heard Yuri was feeling unwell, other doctors ran diagnosis on him. The twins were startled to see their mother in such a bad condition, Shion looking at Yuna said, "Mama will be alright, look after your brothers." Shion followed Victor as they rushed to the hospital. Daniel as relieved to realise Yuri only consumed a small fraction of he poison, Victor kept pacing up and down whilst waiting for the news.
Shion with trembling feet struggled to stand when Daniel came out of the operating room, Daniel knelt in front of Shion and said, "It is going to be alright, luckily he consumed a small fraction…he is stable." Shion couldn't hold back his tears, "He was bleeding…" "It was just a side effect…how about we cheer up and face Yuri with positive energy." Victor clenched his fists; Sam had already locked every maid in the palace inside the palace. Shion was helped by Daniel to walk into Yuri's room, when he arrived, he saw his wife peacefully asleep, Victor said, "I am sorry for my incompetence, I will ensure that a suitable punishment is bestowed on all those responsible."
When Shion arrived home the kids were all wide-awake waiting for their mother and Papa. Yuna said, "Where is mama, Papa?" although his eyes were swollen, Shion smiled and replied, "Mama will be home tomorrow, what would you like for breakfast tomorrow." Juan anxiously looking at Shion said, "Will you tell mama to make us pancakes tomorrow, I promise to behave all week." Yuna lifted Takato and took him upstairs, Juan insisted to sleep with Takato. Shion returned downstairs and saw all maids lined up, Princess Anya was quietly seated on the couch. "I will only ask this once, who dared to poison my wife?" he kept starring at the maids with fierce eyes. Shion saw how nervous Anya was, looking at the maids he said, "All of you leave." The maids quickly left the room, "I am the head of this palace and my wife was poisoned. I should settle this case on my own." Shion clenched his fists as he looked at Victor. Anya silently dropped tears, she said, "I have always felt like my presence in this world is insignificant. My world felt dark, in my dark world a ray of sunshine opened up to me…and then when he returned, he took everything from me! I wanted to drink the poison, but I felt that it would be better if I watched him feel the same pain I feel when l look at his disgusting face!" Shion already knew the perpetrator, all the maids and servants were respectful and loving towards their kind Yuri.
Victor took the unfinished plate of soup in the bedroom, placing it before Anya he said, "Eat every last drop of your deed." Anya looking at the soup replied, "I curse the day I fell in love with you, I am a monster all because of you." Crashing the bowl on the floor Anya said, "You can kill me with your bare hands to finish what you have started Victor! I am already dead…look at me!" Victor's eyes had turned and were glowing with anger, Shion stood in his way to block him from ripping Anya to pieces, "I am angry at her for hurting my wife, but do you think Yuri would be pleased to find out you killed her." Victor turned his face away, "The only reason you are still alive Shion is because my Yuri will never forgive me if harm comes your way." Shion instructed the guards to lock Anya in a cell awaiting her trial. Shion changed his clothes and packed fresh clothes for Yuri, he left the palace late at night. When Victor was assured Shion had driven away he used an invisible spell to pass through the guards. Victor created a barrier around the cell to block third parties from seeing what he was up to, Anya was crammed in a corner feeling cold. Victor suddenly appeared before her, she said, "I knew you wouldn't…" Victor kicked her so hard on the stomach that she puked blood. Victor with cold eyes stared deep in her eyes and said, "How dare you hurt what is mine?" Anya groaning in pain held her stomach, with tears on her eyes she said, "We are both the same Victor…yearning for the warmth and love of people who don't belong to us…" His demonic side ripped Anya's throat before she could even finish her words, realising the mistake he had done Victor sighed as he looked at Anya corpse. To cover up for his gruesome crime, Victor threw Anya in a far away location he opened with his magic. He killed the guards and perfectly outline the crime scene.
