"Hello, royal mother."
Tarkin clasped his hands together and bowed slightly towards his mother in greeting
"Don't call me that, Tarkin."
Tarkin is still in the salute position and has not straightened out yet
"As the mother wishes"
"You can stand up, and how many times have I told you to break that habit?"
Tarkin raised himself and stared at his mother
She was a beautiful person and looked to be Tarkin's age or less, not a slightly older mother
She had long, silky, blond hair, even the color of gold, that did not compete with the color of her beautiful hair, and sharp eyes like a phoenix, with a bright red color like fire.She had attractive, natural pink lips and a small mole above her lips
It is now clear why both Yarkan and Tarkin possessed such ethereal beauty, even if they did not resemble their mother in hair and eye color, other qualities were imprinted on them.
"Why did mother call me?"
She let out a short sigh and relaxed her iron expression to one of more tenderness and tenderness
"Do you find pleasure in wearing this type of clothing?"
"These are my normal clothes, mother."
Tarkin was wearing an Imperial Alpha sleep uniform, unlike the formal suit he had worn in the morning
Tarkin was accustomed to this princely dress from his native land, so even when he moved to this place for some unspecified reason, he could not break his customs.
He found comfort in these clothes so he would wear them all day except when he was in the company
"Where is my little Yarkan? "
"In the company, mother."
"Why didn't he come with you?"
"He's busy, excuse him."
"He is so busy that he cannot devote an hour to spend time with his mother."
"Yes mother"
"Huh, there is no use for my children obsessed with work."
"Yes, mother?"
"You and your brother will give me a headache and I might actually die from you."
"You're still young, mom, so don't worry about it."
" Are you making fun of me now, Tarkin? "
Tarkin smiled at his mother, returning her warm smile
"How dare I do it?"
" I do not believe this "
"Okay, I'm really sorry, mom."
"Stop, it makes me cold."
Tarkin regained his calm appearance and secret smile
"So what do you want from me?"
The mother had nothing to do but sigh in sorrow for her male children
She truly knows that work occupies the minds and lives of her children, so she finds nothing to do with them
Perhaps the first reason is their irresponsible father, who died a long time ago with one of his mistresses
The two of them had grown up before time, especially Tarkin, who played the role of father to everyone
He was not limited to this only, but he solved all his problems and took care of all his work
I've been a burden on him for the most part and I really know that
I tried so hard to be a good mother to them but I don't know if my gut was telling me I wasn't doing enough
I am sure that the servant who has accompanied Tarkin from his birth to the present day is closer to him than I am
"Mother, are you okay?"
Tarkin knew that his mother was distracted by something else and was lost in it, so he had to wake her up from those thoughts.
The mother returned her focus to her son and spoke comfortably
"Yes, I am fuming, don't care about this."
" As you wish "
"Schedule a lunch date for the family."
"Your command, royal mother."
"Maybe we should invite Nour too."
"What do you think, Tarkin?"
"You are the one who hosted the lunch, so you are the one who controls the invitations. There is no need to take the recipient's opinion."
"Yes, I will send him an invitation as well, as I haven't seen him for a while."
"Is there anything else you want from me?"
" Did you eat dinner "
"I asked Albert to prepare it."
"Okay, go, I won't keep you any longer."
"I'll excuse myself, Royal Mother."
Tarkin left after saying goodbye to his mother and returned to his room
Tarkin met several servants as he left, and he responded to each of them's bows with a small smile
Tarkin arrived at his room and found his servant waiting for him with a plate of soup, some meat, and juice, and there were also some sweets and tea to be eaten after dinner.
"I told you, just a light dinner, Albert."
"It is light and complete "
" truly "
Albert straightened himself up and took Tarkin to the chair to eat
Tarkin had no words to refute his servant's words, so he took his food while listening to his stories
"Eat this well, I took care to prepare it for you so it suits you."
"Okay, okay, I'll eat them all."
Albert smiled at Tarkin's words
Albert approached his master and loosened his hair
"You are in your room, there is nothing wrong with resting more."
When he opened Tarkin's hair it grew very long and was very soft
"It is a shame that you do not like anyone to see this appearance of you."
" Sorry "
"The master does not need an apology for something he did not do. All that matters is that I still want to see you well and not suffering."
" I doubt it "
The servant already knew his master's aloof nature so he couldn't blame anyone but his indifferent father
Since childhood, even before his father's death, Tarkin had been involved in all the family affairs, perhaps from the age of four, trying to maintain his mother's position and protect his younger brother, who had just been born. After his father died, a burden piled up on him, so my young master had to forget his childhood and focus on exerting his effort in his work and training.
If we compare Tarkin and Yarkan, Tarkin will be better than Yarkan in assuming the position of family heir.
No one denies his great strength, which surpasses everyone of his age or younger than him. He has reached a level close to his grandfather, and this is considered a marvel of a hundred centuries.
Even his intelligence was unlimited, and the number of his works and achievements surpassed everyone and shattered his expectations
The only thing that distinguished Yarkan from Sidi was his ability to communicate with others and openness, and this is something Tarkin was unable to do because of his childhood, which prevented all communication from him.
He has no friends or even loyal servants
You were the only servant who followed him from his birth and accompanied him at all times
There were even many rumors circulating about him that he might have a physical disability, a deformed face, or even hide his identity as a boy or an alpha.
He rarely left his palace without servants
He was considered his only servant, who took care of everything except for some servants or gardeners whom his grandfather sent from time to time to organize the conditions of the palace, but they could not even catch a glimpse of him.
Even his teachers did not meet him, as there was a colorful curtain separating them from him, and what they caught was his deep voice that demonstrated his dominant alpha quality.
If he went out for work with the head of his family or to carry out his obligatory external work, he would cover himself
Although it seems as if I am proud of this, I am truly sad about what he suffered, especially his beauty with his long hair that reaches the middle of his back.
But he concealed this with some clips and it was shortened to the neck
"I can't eat sweets tonight, that's enough for me."
" Fine, as you wish "
" I want to sleep "
"Do you want me to light some incense?"
"Choose something that smells good and has a soothing effect."
"As you wish, sir."
Tarkin lay on his bed
Albert lit the incense and closed the curtain on the bed so that no one could see him sleeping
"Albert, what are you going to do now?"
Albert had extensive experience dealing with Tarkin, so this question was obvious to him
"I'm not busy right now and I don't want to sleep yet."
"Can you stay beside me for a while?"
" certainly "
Tarkin's room here was designed by Albert, who knows his master very well, so having a regular sofa that allows you to rest and sleep next to the bed is not unusual for him.
He was used to it
He sat on the miniature sofa, although he couldn't see Tarkin because of the curtain, he could sense his turbulent emotions and tense breathing just through his words.
"Did something happen today?"
"A lot has happened already."
"Can I know?"
"I don't even know where to start."
Tarkin talked about his long day, from the beginning of his return from an imminent coma after losing his memory and his involvement in a murder, to his conversation with his mother and some of the dirty deeds and coups that took place in another world in charge of him.
Albert listened to these words with great interest while thinking whether to tell him what he knew or whether to postpone it until tomorrow
"I've been through a lot but no one knows."
"It is enough for me that you know Albert."
"Albert, you're hiding something."
"The matter can be postponed until tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I'm fine, just tell me."
"Can you not be so stubborn, young master?"
"I will break your word today and be stubborn until I find out what you are hiding."
"Huh, it's just that we will soon be returning to the imperial capital and it seems that the meeting of the upper and lower families is happening soon."
"It's good to be back in my palace."
"I apologize, sir. I tried to talk to the Emperor, the head of the family, about changing his mind, but he was not convinced."
Why what's the matter?"
"He made my young master the organizer of that event and insisted on your presence by his side."
"Don't worry, he knows very well what I'm capable of doing, and it's impossible for me to do something I don't want to do."
"But young master, I am not only afraid of the head of the family, but of everyone present, I am afraid of them trying to remove your curtain "
Until now, no one can know the true features of leaving only a small minority of people who can be counted on the fingers of one hand
His grandfather, his mother, his brother, Yarkan, me, and one shadow person
All he could show when he had to was his clothes, which covered his entire body from his neck to his legs to his hands
Hattar was in his private palace, as I mentioned, there were no servants near him except me, along with the maintenance servants who came every month.
There were some shadows next to me who worked as servants to cover that huge palace, but they could not reach Tarkin or speak to him even while he was behind the curtain.
The curtain was Tarkin's constant companion in his life, whether he hid his face completely behind him and never spoke while I talked about him, or he covered only his head with the curtain and his entire body with clothes when he had to go out.
Albert moved the curtain a little to put his hand in and gently pat Tarkin until he fell asleep
Many thoughts ran through Albert's head about what had happened between them
*Why does everyone want to drop this curtain*
* There is only one lonely child behind him.*
*He is a child who only needs care and attention. Is it difficult to get them?*
When Albert heard that Tarkin had fallen asleep, he got up and while making sure there were no bugs in the room and taking care of Tarkin's heating well, he left the room quietly.
This part of the house used to belong to Tarkin and you can't help but feel a sense of dread in the quietness in the air, as if you were in a midnight graveyard.
It consisted of No Tarkin's room, a servant's bedroom, a kitchen, a study room, a bathroom, his dressing room connected to the bathroom, and a soundproof training room.
Albert entered his room with another determination that pushed him to work harder to protect his young master who was hiding that personality
" show up "
A person appeared out of nowhere wearing black clothes that covered his entire body. It was a single jacket, that is, a shirt with sleeves and neck connected to tight pants.
It is as if he identifies himself as Tarkin Hatter's servant, as he hides his face with a black curtain
"Yes, Mr. Albert."
"I convey the news. Prepare the palace of the Prince Regent alone, restart all the traps, and prepare for any emergency. Soon we will return and there is a major event, and perhaps its primary goal this time will change to targeting the young master."
The person behind Albert seemed angry, not because of the orders because he was not accused, but what made him angry was that his young master was targeted
This was evident from his voice alone, not even mentioning his fanatical features and the cold killing intent he exuded.
"Calm down, we don't want to wake up the young master."
The servant remembered that his young master had rarely been able to sleep alone since he moved to this world, so he could only restrain himself for fear that his murderous intent would wake him up.
"What else should I do?"
"Call that shadow person and tell him about it and he will know what to do."
"If the contact is with that person, then you mean him, and there is no one else. Is the situation so serious that you should summon him?"
"Maybe they have ideas more horrific than the assassination itself."
"You're not telling me that they aim to remove my young master's curtain."
"I told you that the purpose of the meeting this time changed to target the master."
"I will make them pay"
"You and the rest start preparing now "
"He knew, for my young master we would do anything."
"You can go, I alone is enough near my master."
"Goodbye, say hello for me."
"Don't worry, I'll pass my greetings on."
The shadow disappeared from the place, leaving the eerie silence again
Albert sighed slightly and also went to sleep because he had to wake up early because of the long day tomorrow
____
" When the moon appeared in the sky that night while Tarkin was busy having a conversation with his mother and his servant, there was a person in the company who was working and did not want to because he was bored.
Yarkan was flipping through some papers and examining the person who had submitted the report to him
The atmosphere was tense because no one knew what Yarkan would do at the slightest mistake
Cailusa was one of four people standing around Yarkan while another person stood across from him to wait for Yarkan's pardon
No one can break this silence and disturb Yarkan's reading unless he wants to die
Yarkan finished reading and lightly threw the stack of papers onto his desk while letting out a short sigh
Yarkan looked at that person while rolling his cunning eyes slightly and resting his face on his right hand
"I was really bored, but unfortunately I didn't know that you were so good."
Yarkan expressed his eager desire but at the same time denied it because of the idealism of the report
The man sighed in relief when he knew that he would not be a victim today
Yarkan was rarely like this, except when he was extremely impatient or reached the peak of his anger, despite the calm that surrounded him and his cold features that did not allow you to read anything from them.
"It's so ridiculously perfect."
Yarkan exhaled as he spoke in his hoarse, bone-carving voice
The person was unable to respond nor was anyone else for fear of unintentionally offending their master
"Rang... ring... ring."
The sound of the phone dared to break the silence
Fortunately, it was Yarkan's phone that was making the sound, but the person who called him at this time seems unlucky in the eyes of everyone present.
They felt pity for him, especially if he was someone he didn't care about, or another one of his dolls that he played with a lot until he got bored.
Yarkan took his phone and read the caller's number
A small, unnoticeable smile formed on his face as he motioned for everyone to be silent, placing his finger on his mouth
No one dared to speak, so there was no need for such an act, but no one objected
Yarkan answered the phone and was greeted by a seductive, soothing tone, as if it were an addictive sedative
The sound was like a melody in Yarkan's ear
"Yan, did I wake you up?"
"Don't worry, I haven't slept yet."
Yarkan leaned his back against the back of his seat and crossed one leg over the other, while listening to the voice of the omega that made him lose his mind.
His omega was the most impatient thing that made him reach that aunt
It was difficult for Yarkan to control his emotions overflowing from his eyes, so he closed them and listened to that captivating voice
"Yan, are you okay? You're not answering."
" a I give my opinion about a report."
"Did I interrupt your work, sorry?"
"There is nothing to be sorry for, Nour, you have already completed it."
" Did you eat dinner"
"Wearing yet, are you interested?"
"You're not staying healthy, Yan."
Yarkan was laughing internally and happy that he had made the omega advise him to protect himself
Just talking to him was a treasure to Yarkan's ears, not to mention being able to see him when he said he had not had dinner
"It's strange for you to call at this time."
"Am I not allowed to do that, Yan?"
"No one dares to stop you."
"Don't you want to talk now?"
"How can you say this when I am powerless to stop you, my dear?"
" you are kidding "
"Did they show you this?"
"By the way, Yan, are you available in two hours?"
"Two hours is a long time. I'm available from now."
"Then it's okay to visit. Where are you now?"
"In my office inside the Rika maze."
"I will make you wait a little while and not eat anything until I visit you."
"I understand. I will not eat my dinner until my dear comes."
"See you later, bye"
"Don't be late, I don't know how to be patient."
"Okay… okay, stop calling me darling, it's embarrassing."
"It's fun because you get embarrassed easily every time."
"Don't play with me, Yan."
"You, there's no need to say goodbye."
Nour tried to confront Yarkan, but he avoided it because he knew that he would be the loser, as usual, in such matters
Yarkan was frank and said a lot of embarrassing things at the same time, and Nour got upset easily, so the balance was always on Yarkan's side and his sweet words.
Yarkan hung up the phone, put it aside, and refocused his attention on the presence in front of him
"As you heard, we have two hours to finish everything and for everyone to leave."
The attendees nodded in response to Yarkan's orders and got to work, thanking Noor for calming their master's troubled yearning
"I'm not sure about that"
After about two hours, everyone left the place, even Kailusa himself, and Yarkan expelled him
Noor did not fail either and came on time
After all, he is the Crown Prince of the Imperial Family so he would not back out of his appointment even if it was just for a second
