Silver stared at the boy, ready to end his miserable life even before it started but then paused when he heard his next words,
"Let's do it," Lucian spoke, shocking even himself and Silver grinned, seemed he expected this because he had seen the rage in the young vampire's eyes and even when he had pushed his hand in his uncle's chest and brought out his heart, he had seen potentials in him.... Yes he had been there on that day, but he couldn't do anything and watched his daughter being burnt alive as those worthless and low creature laughed at her.
He remembered, Genevieve had seen him, only her did because she was his daughter, she had stopped him from doing anything at that moment and had smiled and used her ability to converse with him,
"Don't do anything papa, I just need one favour from you, protect my children, mostly Lucian because he has our blood in his veins, take him with you and nurture him, make him strong... I don't want him to be weak like I was, I have become so weak I can't defend myself from this creatures... I love you father and let him know I love him too," she said speaking of Lucian,
And that was it, he watched his daughter go down in ash and watch her son turn unconscious because of the rod that hit him hard on his head and since then he has been observing him in the dungeon, checking how long he was going to survive and he must say he indeed had his blood running through his veins to be able to last for ten days without food or blood,
"Are you sure of this, Lucian?" He asked once again and Lucian nodded not saying anything,
After that he had taken young Lucian to his home, hell, the boy had been surprised and asked who he really was and he had replied saying,
"I'm the devil himself," he replied grinning,
Lucian lived there for days which turned to weeks, being trained by his grandfather and back home whenever Eliza or any one of his brother came to see if he was dead they just saw a body of a little boy laying on the floor unmoving and thought that he was dead and they will smile and leave, not knowing that wasn't Lucian but just an empty vessel, left by Silver to fool them,
While Lucian trained hard, hardened his heart to the extent anytime he remembered his mother, instead of crying, he looks for any rebel demon and killed them also to kill boredom, he counts the days patiently waiting for the day he gets to avenge his mother's death, They will wish they never harm a single hair on her head, he thought to himself with a wicked smile,
The day came, the King arrived and was told all that happened, he broke down in tears,
"Why did you kill my lovely Genevieve, Eliza?!" He yelled at his sister who just glared at him,
"She was a witch, Delcrov and even you know it, why keep her! She could harm anyone of us and take over the throne," Eliza spoke in anger at her brother's reaction, she thought once Genevieve died, he will be out of the spell he casted on him,
"Eliza is right," James too spoke and Delcrov looked up to stare at his brothers too and then shook his head,
"I can't believe you both were among too," the king said and asked, "And where is Matthew? At least he should be sensible," he asked with a frown on his face and Eliza could only fake a sad expression, "Why isn't anyone answering me!!"
"Matthew is dead," Eliza said as she burst into crocodile tears, "Killed by your wretched son.... He's a witch just like his mother!"
Delcrov was once again shocked and knew that if this news keeps on coming in, he might loose conscious real soon, "What the hell are you saying, Eliza! How can Lucian kill Matthew!"
"He did," James spoke again, "We were there, we saw it with our own eyes! That monster dug his hand into Matthew's chest and brought out his beating heart!"
Delcrov face paled as he heard them, "Is this true, Oliver?" He turned to his little brother who had a frown on his face,
"All they have said so far is the truth brother, Lucian killed Matthew right in front of us," Oliver spoke,
Delcrov was in total shock, "Where.... Where is my son?"
"Your son has been in the dungeon for more than a month now without food or blood, so he is dead already, he had to be kept in the dungeon for what he did!" Eliza spoke in hatred,
"Why would you do that! You should have waited for my orders! You can't always take matters in your own hands, Eliza! He was my son! The prince and heir to my throne!" Delcrov was furious. After killing his wife, they went ahead and murdered his son too! This was just outrageous!
"To the dungeon, NOW!" He got up and left and was followed by his siblings to see his dead son.
