Time has come
Narrator
It all started 17 years ago.
It Was a cold night in the Winstor household.
Who are the Winstor ? They are the leaders of the Lucreus clan!!! Daaaa
Narrator
two boys sat on the floor of the living room , eager to hear the good news of another sibling being born.
Narrator
The first one, slightly older, had silver hair and eyes!! His name is Arthur
Narrator
The second, younger, had silver hair as well but blue eyes. His name is Harry.
Narrator
While their father stared out of the window, He passed tirelessly awaiting the new of a child who would further increase their influence in the realm. His name is Lord Charles
Charles spoke in a worried tone:
Charles Winstor
Why is it taking so long to have this child? You two boys were quite fast."
But when he saw the boys' anxiety, he smiled and sat down on the floor between them, putting his arms around them and saying:
Charles Winstor
You are my greatest treasures and I hope you will be the best brothers to your sibling. Is it a boy or a girl, U boys think?
Arthur Winstor
Papa... It is a girl
Harry Winstor
"Girls are weak... euwww
Charles Winstor
Girl or boy... we will love this child with all we have. Promise?
Suddenly the door opened and the midwife came out of the room, her eyes filled with horror at what had just happened. Charles stood up as soon as she entered and asked her
Charles Winstor
Why do you look so gloomy?
"Is it the child? How is Marie-gold, my wife?
Before she could utter a word, he ran into the room and stopped looking horrified at what he had just seen
chief Maid
Come Young masters !! Let me take you for a treat in the kitchen while your parents talk
Harry Winstor
Yeaaa !!! I want chocolate pudding
Arthur Winstor
I do not like being treated like a child but i will indulge it
Charles closed the door to keep the boys from witnessing the horror.
surrounded by the best doctors in the realm , There lay his wife, Marie-Gold, looking more dead than alive.
Charles Winstor
Why are you standing there !!! Do something!!
Charles got sight of the child sleeping next to his wife and froze
Charles Winstor
What is the meaning of this !!! There must be a mistake!! This child... can't be mine !!!
Red eyes.... This child couldn't possibly be his
Marie Gold Winstor
Charles... listen to me please! I do not have much life remaining inside me
Charles kicked the doctors out and walked closer to his dying wife looking bewildered!! The child had silver hair proof of hos lineage but its eyes were not making sense!! The child was an abomination!!!
Marie Gold Winstor
This child is ours !! I do not know by what miracle she came to be but she is every bit yours and mine
Charles Winstor
NO!! SHE CAN'T BE !!! She is not even a life mage!! how can she be mine!! I can smell the putrid stench of death on her !!!
Charles Winstor
Did You Cheat on me with Malvolious vermin!! If in life u were unfaithful to me at least now that u are close to death .. tell me the truth
As life started living her body, she called him to her side and when he sat down beside her, she gave him the child and said
Marie Gold Winstor
Do Not ...Deny the blood of our blood.
As she said these words, she died
Charles sat there speechless for a while, worried about what the existence of this child meant for his clan.
Narrator
Indeed, Marie-Gold was right. He could sense he was connected to the child by blood.
Narrator
If rumours of this child were to spread, the Winstors would be humiliated and dethroned as leaders of the High Council of Mages and representatives of the power of the Lucreus
Narrator
. It would also give the Death Mages an opportunity to claim more seats or even the leadership of the Council. Charles simply couldn't face that fact
But for now, he had to keep her hidden.
Charles looked at the child and sighed as he said,
Charles Winstor
Poor Devil, you are caught in a game beyond yourself
He then stood up and cast an illusion spell to make it appear that both the mother and child had died.
And then summoned a portal that took him to his family home
The day had just started and out of nowhere Charles pop in the living room finding his mother
Alegra Winstor
What is the meaning of this ... son!! Shouldn't You be with your wife and What are you doing with this new born?
Charles gave her the child and said :
Charles Winstor
I will explain this later. Please hide it!!
then He summoned a portal that took him back home
Alegra, Charles mother, started calming the child! The second she touched the child! She felt it!!
Alegra Winstor
This can not be happening !!! This is way too soon
Alegra rushed to her husband's office, where he was smoking a cigar, and sealed the room with a stealth spell
George, startled by this intrusion, said with a frown:
George Winstor
My Lady ... what is this intrusion about !!
She finally came close to face him, and before she could utter a word, he looked as pale as linen as he said:
George Winstor
Have you finally lost it? This child can not stay here!!!
Alegra Winstor
This child is Charles's
George Winstor
Impossible !!!
George Raised his hand and child started floating in the air with a white light surrounded the child as he felt the aura of the child !! He opened his eyes wide as he said
George Winstor
This child .... impossible .... a death mage with Winstor blood?!!! This child looks Malvolious but I sense .... Lagini ' s dark power
She began to recount what had happened. She searched the child's memory, filling in the missing details. As she spoke, George stared motionlessly into the fire. When she finished, the room fell silent. Alegra then asked her husband,
Alegra Winstor
What ... shall we do, Husband ? I fear our son may not be able to deal with more added to the death of his wife and the birth of a child that challenges everything he knows
As if snapping back to reality, George said
George Winstor
Have the child looked after in the east wing of the castle. I think it is time I talk to Charles !!
Alegra Winstor
Are you sure He will be ready ?
George Winstor
The prophecy is here !!! We can't turn back. It is time for your sweet boy to become a real leader.
