True Love. No matter how far you go, love will bring you back.
****
Jayden, Gavian, Rico, Somi, Alex, and Edward have now arrived at Blanchard's palace. The soldiers and servants there looked down respectfully as they passed along the palace road. In the corridor there was already Queen Ellevine and beside Queen Ellevine stood a woman wearing a bright gold royal gown, Dia Yeri. More precisely Queen Yeri. He was the Mate Lord of the Blanchard Vampire clan.
Yeri
Yeri is Mate Jayden, they have been together for a long time, but Yeri has not officially become the Queen of the Blanchard Vampire clan because Yeri has not been confirmed as Queen. Initially Jayden wanted to introduce Yeri as the Queen of his people. But he waits for Zara to find out. You could say their relationship is not yet clear. That's what makes Yeri sometimes doubt Jayden's love. The man who claims Yeri as his own
Jayden stood in front of Queen Ellevine and bowed respectfully. "Are you all right?" Ellevine looked at them one by one with concern. For Ellevine her children are not only Jayden and Rico but the four of them are already considered as her own children.
"Very good Queen Ellevine." They returned the utmost respect to the queen of the Blanchard clan as well as their Lord Mother.
Yeri continued to stare at Jayden who had not responded to his gaze since earlier. This made Yeri a little disappointed but still the smile that appeared on Yeri's gentle face. "Why not take me on an adventure with you guys?!"
"I thought you were too busy and didn't remember us Yeri," Somi came closer and hugged Yeri warmly.
"When did you come brother?" Rico lowered the hood of the robe and smiled.
"When you guys go and don't invite me!!" Yeri chuckled.
"Indeed, big brother is here to help us, don't you want to meet the idol of the heart?" Alex nudged Yeri's body slowly but still made Yeri's body stagger a little.
"When did you not act childish Alex?!" Yeri protested.
"Why did you call us back to the Palace?" Jayden didn't even raise his voice for his Mate.
"We'll talk about it at dinner tonight, now you guys get some rest!"
"Okay Mom, with pleasure. I want to meet my pet. I really miss him,"
"Don't miss your own mother? You prefer your mouse over Mother?"
"It's not like that Mother, I forgot to feed the Lion, he could starve to death, if you will always be number one in Rico's heart." Rico hugged Ellevine tightly like a child then Ellevine kissed his son's forehead lovingly.
The love of a mother is also a father. Ellevine had to give those two affections to her two sons. When their father left them for good, when their two sons were little.
"You can always seduce your mother." Ellevine's hand reached out to touch Rico's chin and his son returned a big smile.
"May I go now Mother."
"Go see Lion, he must have been whining about your name!"
Rico glanced at Jayden for mocking him and the others laughed too.
"Shut up sis! I will repay you later!"
At other times so subservient and respectful to Jayden. It's different with Rico, his younger brother. Whatever Rico does,
Jayden never scolds Rico and Jayden always fulfills his sister's wishes. Because Jayden realized he was an older brother as well as a father to Rico at a time when Ricoh had not yet had the chance to receive love from their father.

Gervinder Palace
Arcelle is enjoying a cup of warm rose drink in the gazebo of her residence's garden. After a small fight with her husband, Yoshiro, she hasn't had a chance to talk to her husband yet. His thoughts are now focused solely on Jeffry Ernest, his adopted son.
"Dae Jung, do you know where Jeffry is now?"
"I'm sorry, Queen,"
Dae Jung bowed respectfully as he approached Arcelle. His search for Na Jeffry has not yielded any results. The man who was considered by Arcelle as his own sister was now sitting opposite Arcelle. Even in terms of handsomeness, Dae Jung is more handsome than Yoshiro, his older brother.
Unfortunately, Dae Jung has to suffer for the rest of his life.
His mate died of an illness. In the immortal world, if a person is abandoned by a mate , he can go crazy or choose death instead of having to live without a mate. But Dae Jung is so tough, he devotes his life to his family and clan. It also makes Arcelle always love her sister-in-law, Dae Jung.
"No...., you've tried so hard. There's no need to apologize with this brother of yours.,
You want a rose drink?"
"No Queen, I drank the blood of fresh animals in the forest."
"Now my life feels so sad Dae Jung. I love Jeffry so much but Yoshiro doesn't want that." Arcelle took a deep breath.
"I really love my two sons. I've never differentiated between them. But what did Hanson do to his younger brother, is it normal Dae Jung? Why did he tell his younger brother to do all this..." Arcelle's gaze looked sad and looked straight.
"I myself also did not expect what Hanson did. He is like his father. He will do everything he can to get power and strength. I also really don't like this!"
Dae Jung looks at her brother-in-law with a sad feeling.
"After a few years passed, our kingdom became the target of the Blanchard kingdom again, this is also what makes me very sad. The events in the past have made the relationship between family and relatives become severed, now the anger is starting to burn again..."
"I'm sure we'll sort this out soon sis, I'll go and start tracking down Jeffry's whereabouts."
"Take care of yourself, Dae Jung,"
Dae Jung steps out of Arcelle's residence and when she reaches the palace corridor, a trusted soldier of Dae Jung tells her that Hanson is in an underground detention cell.
As he descended the underground stairs, the rancid smell of blood pierced Dae Jung's sense of smell. The dark hallways and the many prison cells in this place depict the horrors of the prison at Gervinder palace.
"Stop Hanson!"
Dae Jung's eyes focused on the figure of Hanson beating one of the prisoners who was a werewolf. The blood from the werewolf he had ruthlessly tortured hit the body, revealing his sturdy muscles. The anger that Hanson felt he often took out on the prisoners. Hanson is now filled with anger regarding Zara, the owner of immortal blood.
Hanson strangled the werewolf before the werewolf's life flew away with its head separated from its body. Hanson's long, sharp nails were stained with blood when they were used to separate the head of a werewolf that died horribly.
Hanson stepped out with his hair tousled and without his clothes on. He was about to go to his room to clean himself up, but his uncle's voice stopped him in his tracks.
"Stop your steps!"
Hanson turned and looked at his friend who looked furious.
"The werewolves you killed have information on attacks on the border. It's not up to you to kill or torture them!" Daejung's eyes flashed red.
"I think the position of crown prince has more rights than your uncle!" Hanson answered carelessly and took another step up the stairs.
Dae Jung really wants to teach his nephew who is really arrogant. Killing Hanson is a very easy thing for him. But he couldn't possibly hurt the feelings of Arcelle and her sister.
