"I think Maximus is staying with his mother so that he can go out and date around easily," I heard one of the maids say. As soon as I turned my head toward her, she fell silent.
Her meek reaction was because she knew she wasn't supposed to gossip about my brothers.
But she wasn't lying. I had heard about Maximus throwing wild parties while he moved out to "test the weapons."
We had just finished dinner, and these days, I was more concerned about Emmet. He had been drinking a lot. Usually, he did that after a full moon night to numb the pain, but this time, his drinking had become unusually frequent.
Dinner had been quiet as none of my brothers joined us. Earlier, I had found Emmet passed out in the forbidden corridor. I carried him to his room and tucked him in nicely.
Maximus was staying with Mom, probably out on a date for the night. Kaye had his students staying at the guesthouse in Red Crown Pack.
