Back to the present...

"Benjamin? What are you staring at?"

Keira asked her big brother who had anger in his face. Keira looked outside the window to see what her brother was staring at... And gasped. "Benjamin... Is that.."

"Yes. He is back."

Benjamin sighed as he turned away from the window as Keira started to shake a it. Lucas and Leilin noticed their sibling's nervous looks as they asked in confusion. "Why are you so shaken..? What did you see?" Lucas asked in curiosity as he walked over to the window, trying to see what his siblings saw.

Leilin joined Lucas into looking out at the window and their reactions turned to shock. "Are you serious...?" Lucas tighten his teeth together, trying to hold back his anger as Leilin had her hand over her mouth.

"What do we do...?" Leilin whispered as the Arigche children were stuck in a bad situation. "We need to warn mother and father!" Keira suggested as the siblings looked at Keira. "Where even is mother? She never told us where she went nor did father tell us." Lucas responded as they didn't know where their parents were.

"I guess we have to deal with the situation ourselves." Lucas suggested but Leilin tugged on his ear, making Lucas scream in pain. "Are you stupid?! As powerful as the Agriche are! We can't afford to stop the crowned prince even if we wanted to! It will ruin our reputation!" Leilin scolded at Lucas who was arguing back. Benjamin sighed and slapped the two of them.

"Enough you two. We have to tell mother and father first. Father must be with Psyche right now so we can start there." Benjamin was holding Lucas and Leilin up by their collars as they were trying to get out of his grip along with clawing each other's eyes out. Keira was still a bit shaken due to her first meeting with the crowned prince... And let's say it wasn't a good meeting...

Flashback...

Cough... Cough...

Keira was on the ground as the smell of ashes and flames filled her nose. She was struggling to stand as she coughing a lot... Keira tried to crawl her way to safety before a tall figure stopped Keira in her tracks.

"Well, look who we have here.."

Keira could feel her weak body being picked up from a strong grasp as the vision of a gun was being pointed at her. "Keira Arigche... Youngest member of the Arigche family and Medea's daughter..." The crowned prince was holding towards Keira's face. Keira could barely see anything but she knew that she was being held gun point... And she was scared. "H-h-how... Do you know... That and... My mother..?" Keira said weakly as the crowned prince laughed a bit.

"Oh... We go way back... She ruined my life... And now it's time to return the favor..."

The sound of a gun clicking can be heard as the fear in Keira's mind was alarming in her head. It's over... She is going to die in the hands of the crowned prince... This is the time where she actually dies... It's over... She's going to die...

"Mother... Father... Benjamin... Leilin... Lucas... I'm sorry... I'm sorry I couldn't be helpful... I'm sorry for being weak... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Keira closed her eyes as she waited for the bullet to shoot into her head until... The sound of the crowned prince screaming made Keira open her eyes as the crowned prince was punched in the face, dropping the gun as the person who punched him... Was her father.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER YOU MONSTER!"

Dion screamed as the crowned prince was being punched multiple times. Keira coughed as she was now free, taking a breath as she watch her father beat up the crowned prince.

"Daddy! Daddy stop!" Keira shouted as Dion's hands were all bloody, looking down at the beat up crowned prince as he began to laugh.

Ah...Aha... Aha... Ahahaha... AHAHAHAHA!

The crowned prince began to laugh like a maniac as Dion's eyes flashed with anger. "Calling me... a monster... Duke Dion...?

Dion had the crowned prince on chokehold as his grasp on his throat started to tighten. "Don't you DARE compare me to a monster like you.."

Dion threw the crowned prince, causing him to crash into the piles of broken stone as he cough, trying to regain his balance as he wiped the blood off his face, looking at the Duke with vengeance in his eyes.

"You don't want to admit it Dion... But we are much more similar than you think.."

"I am NOTHNG LIKE YOU!"

Dion yelled as he clashed his sword with the crown prince's sword, clashing and slashing through each other's blades until Dion managed to stop the crowned prince in his tracks, holding his sword up at his throat.

"You should have left when you had the chance..."

Keira..?

KEIRA!

"Huh?"

Keira snapped back to reality as Leilin looked at Keira with concern. "Are you okay little sister..?" Leilin touched Keira's forehead, checking if Keira wasn't sick or anything. "Y-Yeah..! I'm okay! I just... Don't like that guy.." Keira was obviously scared of the crowned prince as Leilin nodded, looking outside the window.

"He is no good that is for sure... He has been trying to kill mother for years... I'm not surprised he is back." Leilin sounded so serious and that wasn't normal for Leilin, even Keira could tell. The siblings stood there for a moment as they all looked at Benjamin. "So what do we do?" Lucas asked Benjamin as he took a second to process. "For now, we keep our mouths shut until we find mother and father but the crowned prince should be warned.."

"That the Agriches shouldn't be mess with again.."
