Chapter 148 THE REVELATION 101

PYRO’S POV

“Thank you, Higher King.” Princess Ziraya bowed his head as well as me.

He had said many things, but my attention was not on him. It was to Ember who was peeking through the small window. She was with freaking Zephyrus. I left her sleeping? That child, I did not know where should she awake or sleep or when would she be deeply sleeping until the morning. She is unpredictable like her father. Pertaining to myself. Indeed.

After the speech of the king, I froze when he stared at me for so long. Then, said, “Dismissed for Princess Ziraya.”

Princess Ziraya bowed her head before leaving the room. I watched her going away. I was distracted by Zephyrus and Ember who were remaining outside and peeping. Perhaps waiting for me to go out.

“King Wind!” When father saw them, Zephyrus immediately ran away with Ember on his shoulder. That made me chuckle while covering my mouth.

“You love that kind…so much.” I could not move when King Oswald Arealdo talked. “Aren’t you?”

I bit my lips as I gulped, clearing the blockage in my throat. “I am.”

“She sometimes looks like you.”

My eyes widened. I had no rebate for that. I could not burst words. At times, I saw him carrying Ember which I could not understand. I thought he just liked her or she was enjoying taking care of her. No right. His eyes were glancing at me with an annoyance to it.

“You’re smart, King Fire. I would not believe it if you don’t know the rules of the Elemental Kingdom. The first child shoul一”

“Should not be a girl.” I continued the supposed to be his words. “Please just let her live like a normal person. Can you take if your daughter will be killed?” There was no point in lying. He recognized my child just by looking at her. While Ember was growing up, her features were obviously reflecting me. That was one of my fears in life; That people would see her as my child.

“Yes.” King Oswald averted his look on me.

What is he thinking? Is he nuts?

“I'd rather kill her than kill the Ministers. They are more brutal than you. If I were you, take action to get rid of your daughter." He paused and stared at the window. "Highlighted that she’s the daughter of the former omega and now, the Luna of Red Moon Pack. The wedding should be held as quickly as it could.”

"No, Father." I stood up with all my braveness and gazed at his eyes with pure disagreement. "If you resist," I stepped one and gritted my teeth, "I'll be your great opponent."

He was startled. The irritation was on his expression.

"If you can kill your daughter, I'm not like you! I'll stand to protect her and die for her because I am her father! That's what a parent does to keep the security of his child." I turned my back as I clenched my hands. "I hope you know that!"

I was about to leave him when he talked. "You don't understand. You're a king—"

"And a father, a parent to Ember." I was saying that while moving to face him. "I'm not just a king for Fire's Pack. I have a personal life. I keep Fira. I chose Princess Ziraya. Is it not enough for you?" My voice was a little bit low. I was a good follower and I always am. However, this order would never be my grant.

That is too much. We are talking about my child. She is so special to me. Damn rules. Damn kingdom. Damn responsibilities. Damn them all.

"I told you this because I want to protect your reputation as the Alpha King of Fire. You can't hide Ember forever, or keep Fira for a lifetime. All of these would be temporary because we have plenty of enemies. We didn't know who's an ally or who's not." He moved closer to me and tapped my shoulder. "I've been through your situation. I pick to kill…" He looked down and exhaled recklessly. "To kill her."

My damn world stopped rotating. My heart skipped tp beat as the revelation filled my ear and echoed inside my head.

So we are not just five brothers? We have another one and she is a girl? And this old man killed her? For the sake of the throne?

I shook my head while the tears in my eyes were welling up. I felt pity for our sister. She did not deserve what he did to her. She should see the beauty of the world. She must experience how to live. How to laugh, cry, chuckle, fall in love and other mind blowing things in life.

"You're an authentic monster." My voice was in a low tone. I removed his hand on my shoulder, glared at him so badly and then shouted all my anger at him. "You're a real monster! I believed in power as a strength because of you! I adored to train more; To be the smartest because of your damn wants! I did everything…anything! For you and for this damn kingdom." I shook my head with an expression of disbelief.

"I almost died to protect this kingdom from the outsiders, but the truth is…" I nodded my head as my way of sarcasm. "The beast is inside the palace. The destroyer is in front of me." I looked at him from the feet to his respectable face. "I pity you for making our lives difficult. Maybe if our sister is alive, she'll spit on your face to make you realize that family is more important than power!"

I immediately turned my back. I was about to touch the doorknob when he spoke again. I never hear his crack voice due to pain, or emotional expression. However, at the moment he was possessing it.

"I didn't want her to die but...I have no choice. If I…" He blew a loud frustrated sigh. "If I didn't order to execute her. All of you will die."

My eyebrows formed a wrinkle. I was not sure if he was saying the fact or what. I turned my face to confront him again. "What do you mean?"

"It's a matter of option; To execute my one and only princess or to execute my five princes." He let out a harsh air and then stared directly at my face. "I selected the five of you."

"Cut your lies!" The tears suddenly rolled to my cheek. "How would someone give you that option! You're a freaking damn king!"

"King is not always what you think of, Pyro. There are people behind my back and if I failed to follow them. They'll create terrible problems for my people. As a king, you want everyone in order and safe. I'll pick that over one life."

I pulled myself together to prevent the tears becoming severe. "Who's child…" I swallowed my saliva due to the difficulty of speaking while sniffing, "is she?"

"To your mother."

My eyes bulged, my mouth opened widely, and my body trembled in shock.

"She's my sister?" I could not believe everything.

I watched the rolling of tears in his face. "She's your twin sister."
