Eli brought Zaiden breakfast and checked if he had finished his tea. He made a satisfied smile seeing the empty cup and Zaiden's frown.
"So, did you meet your mother?" Eli smiled
Zaiden shrugged, "Yeah, I met the hero. I planted a tiny seed in her heart..."
Zaiden happily took the glass of red wine and gracefully drank it. Eli looked at him.
"Say what you want? Unless it's something I won't do?" Zaiden said with a suspicious look
Eli sighed, "Just wondering why you do this to your parents?"
"Good Question." Zaiden nodded making Eli sigh again "Why do we do this? What do you think?"
"A tantrum." Eli joked
Zaiden threw his glass at the butler, Eli dodged easily and snuck out the door.
"DO YOU WANT TO SEE A REAL TANTRUM?!" He heard Zaiden yelling
"Shall I meet this Lucian Strong?" Eli thought with a grin on his face " Since it's obviously not a tantrum. That scar healed a long time ago"
Hugo found Lucian was already awake and on her tablet with the black dreamcatcher in her other hand. She found out what it symbolized and read so deeply that she didn't notice Huge beside her.
"What is this about?" Hugo coughed
She looked back, "Nothing....you don't need to worry about it dear."
Lucian left to take a shower and Hugo noticed, she had taken the dreamcatcher with her and was in deep thought. She left the house and walked aimlessly through the streets. Eli stopped her and raised his top hat slightly to look over her.
"Sorry, did I bump into you?" She said
Eli smiled, "Nothing of the sort. I'm Eli, the butler of J. brothers."
Lucian's eyes widened, "My sons?"
"They don't know I'm here, I was curious about the Masters' mother. Now I have satisfied that, I shall be on my way."
"Wait-um?" Lucian replied
Eli raised his brow and looked at his clock.
"There is a café nearby. Why don't we go there?" He suggested
She nodded and followed him to a café. They sat down in a private room on the second floor and refreshments were brought in.
"Please pack a red velvet cake with pinot noir wine, Chocolate Devil's Food cake and red blends wine and cheesecake, and white dessert wine," Eli ordered
"All that for you?" Lucian marvel
Eli chuckled, "Of course not. It's for the masters who enjoy all good wines. You didn't know did you?"
She was quiet as Eli watched her silently and he sipped his Turkish black coffee elegantly.
"Is it that you wish to mend your relationship with the Masters?" Eli deduced
Lucian looked silently at Eli stirring milk into his coffee. As she opened her mouth, someone entered through the window and it was Zaiden. He was in a dragon robe and his hair was long.
"Ah, you escaped I see." Eli laughed
Zaiden sat across from his mother and narrowed his eyes slightly before grabbing a random bottle of wine that Eli ordered. A jade cup without handles appeared in front of Zaiden as he passed the bottle to Eli. The butler elegantly poured wine into the cup.
"Wasn't expecting such an odd meeting in broad daylight." Zaiden sighed with a chuckle
Lucian was surprised, "That's all?"
" No worries. I'm not gonna bother you, I'm on vacation." Zaiden smiled slowly sipping his wine
"You have no shame in saying that?" Eli commented
Zaiden smirked, "I can take you back with me to the timeline I was in. I always felt like you'd make a great emperor."
Lucian found herself smiling at the odd environment of the master-servant duo. Zaiden noticed and moved closer.
"So, you can make a genuine smile too?" Zaiden smiled "Guess I haven't seen it all."

Second, thanks a trillion to all of you, and hope for more support on R. Creations.'
Zaiden's chin rested on the back of his hand as his jade cup was held by the fingers of the same hand. He had a bitter smile.
"It might be our first pleasant eating with each other, right?" Zaiden smiled "If only this happened a few years earlier, I would have forgiven you like an idiot. Those wounds have long closed up since time heals sometimes"
Eli and Lucian were astonished by Zaiden's words as he sipped his wine gracefully. There was no fake facial expression on Zaiden's face this time.
"So I was late." Lucian finally said
Zaiden lightly hit his cup on his mother's mug with a broad smile, " Yeah, a...few years."
"Yeah, tens of years must be nothing to you y now." Eli thought drinking from his cup
"I hold no grudge against you," Zaiden told
Lucian now had a bitter smile, " That doesn't change what I've done to you, Zander, and...Zyder."
"Fate and Destiny are two cruel twins too." Zaiden laughed
"So why do you still go to those cruel twins' parties?" Eli thought with a grumble
"What will you do now, hmm?" Zaiden wondered "I'm on vacation from villainy although not terrorizing, murder, or anything else."
" I know time can't go backward." Lucian began
Zaiden made a face of disagreement but quickly changed it.
"You messed with me to mess with your father didn't you, Zaiden?" She continued
Zaiden only smiled and wondered where this was going.
"I will take whatever you throw at me...all, all I want is to spend just a little time with you, if I can be selfish?"
Zaiden laughed, "I am very selfish if I can be generous? I'll spare some time and grab my brothers too."
" One step at a time." Lucian thought
"We can talk through Eli since he's an old gossip." Zaiden teased sticking his tongue out
Zaiden disappeared as Eli turned to him. The villain on vacation appeared on a gargoyle with a man behind him in the shadows.
"You looked like the perfect rebellious son." the man chuckled " No one would believe that you didn't get along."
"If only...it were that easy." Zaiden smiled dropping the jade cup " Have you located where my Pillars are hiding?"
"Yes, we'll attack soon." he sighed
"I'll try though." Zaiden thought with a glow in his eyes
Zaiden closed his eyes. The breeze swept through his hair, and took his thoughts with it.
