Song Yuan opened the later unhurriedly, though he was shaking with excitement internally, Song Yuan had learned to stop showcasing his emotions over the years as he has been through many situations that has made him cold blooded.
Song Yuan eyes ran through the letter as he read it unhurriedly a look of disappointment flashed his face.
It was Song Minhyun handwriting alright, but it was not the type of letter he was expecting, why did his sister only message him when she needed help, didn't she miss or care about him.
"Send the message back, I agree to help in the war." Song Yuan ordered the messenger unfeelingly making the messenger wonder if it was Song Yuan that was really his master or Han Jisung was.
Song Yuan decided that he would help Song Minhyun no matter what she asked for, Song Yuan was actually the son if a one night stand of the previous Emperor.
When the Emperor refused to take he and his mother in, Song Minhyun pleaded on their behalf to the Emperor, till they were accepted, and when they were treated as nobodies in the palace and were neglected food, Song Minhyun personally brought food down to them, taking care of them meticulously.
All those were little things to others but to Song Yuan it meant a lot, even when Song Yuan mother was critically ill and dying, Song Yuan remembered going to beg his father for help, at time he was just five years old and didn't know anyone else to turn to for the money.
The previous Empress did not want the Emperor to help him despite Song Yuan insistent pleading, Song Yuan knelt outside for two days without standing up and rain happened to fall throughout that period and it fell heavily on Song Yuan, but the Emperor and Empress decided to be oblivious about the little boy outside.
Song Yuan then frail body shivered and swayed until he finally fell unconscious the second day.
When Song Yuan woke up he saw Song Minhyun by the bed with a wet towel in her hands as she had dozed off taking care of him when he fell sick due to the rain, running high temperature as he slept for three days straight.
By the time Song Minhyun stirred her eyes open to see the young boy looking at her, she realized a smile and patted his head, Song Yuan could still remember her words clearly till this day.
"You are finally awake, you know I have always wanted a sibling but my parents couldn't give me one, so can we be siblings from now on, don't worry I have paid for your mother's medical bills." Song Minhyun cooed dotingly at Song Yuan like she had found a new attraction and since then Song Yuan stuck to Song Minhyun like a glue following her wherever she went, to him Song Minhyun was an angel sent by the heavens to save his mother.
Although later the Emperor and the Empress became warmer to Song Yuan, seeing their daughter with him always, they had no choice but to accept him as their son, and since Song Yuan mother had already died by then, they had no difficulty in accepting him anymore, but Song Yuan couldn't get rid of the hatred he had for them in his heart for treating him and his mother that way in his early life, that is why he watched them die during the raid in the palace.
Yes, Song Yuan watched them died, at that early age of ten, Song Yuan was already proficient in everything including medicines and martial arts, he could cure the poison that was in them but Song Yuan didn't, the raiders had already slipped poison into the Emperor and Empress food before attacking and Song smelt it but didn't inform them, after the poison started taking effects, Song Yuan moved close to the door planning to watch them suffer.
Song Yuan stood at the door staring at them with a devilish grin on his face, as he watched them cough blood, His Father, the Emperor, crawled painful to Song Yuan causing his blood trail to stain the floor and held Song Yuan clothes tightly.
"Pl...ea...se, S.....o....n....g...Y...u....a...n, he...l.....p...u....s." The Emperor managed to beg as he clutched Song Yuan robes tightly causing blood to stain it.
"Don't touch me, I don't want your finger prints on me." Song Yuan said coldly and shifted away from the Emperor.
The Emperor hand that hung in the air slowly dropped to the ground, as he wondered what sort of human as he given birth to, no the right word was devil, he gave birth to a devil, the Emperor thought before breathing his last.
The Empress seeing the Emperor dead, didn't bother to beg, she crawled to meet him and hugged him as her soul left her.
Song Yuan tutted watching them showcase their love till death before heading out to present himself to the people who attacked them as he didn't want any suspicion.
The enemy battered Song Yuan and fed him poisons but Song Yuan smiled accepting it, his enemies were dead, his sister was gone what else was this world to him.
But then, the enemy decided to dispose of him in a nearby forest wanting beasts to tear him up, as they were frustrated by his smiling face, Song Yuan was thrown into a forest with broken bones but still realised a manaic's laugh, he wished that if he died he should reincarnate as Song Minhyun biological brother this time around, so he could repay her kindness of this life, Even when his mother died a year later after that incident, Song Minhyun took Song Yuan under her wings and nurtured him taking care of him, till she left for marriage, Song Yuan has vowed that no matter which life he is living he would always protect Song Minhyun with his life and everything he got, even if he has to sacrifice the most important thing to him.
It was in the woods that another perverted angel stepped into his life.
