JADON'S POV
My father has called for me. I don't need to wonder why he has called for me. I know the reason. I know it's taking too long. Getting the blood of someone from King Lucarus' bloodline, finding the princess. That, and the failed attempt at trapping Leonis and Laurius.
I have always loved and respected my father. Because no matter what others said, no matter what he did to others, he cherished his sons and has single-handedly raised us till we became the men we are today. I can never be the man my father is, so I try to be at least half the man. And I try to please him, to make him proud, to give him reasons to look at his sons with admiration.
But lately, I haven't been doing that a lot. I've been failing to get the blood needed to open the gates of Almawt.
I take in a deep breath and I let it out silently as I knock on the door to his garden.
