“No! Never! I am never letting my baby brother go anywhere. Mearez, why don’t you speak? Stop him!” Serena’s voice rang through the hall of my tower, but no one answered. No one paid any heed.

I was already dressed for the journey. There would be no hesitation. I felt no reluctance, no whisper in my mind telling me to stay. Nothing.

I reached for the potion on the table and drank the whole bottle. a medicine to dull my demon beasts. Then I turned toward the exit and stepped into the hallway.

My two elder sisters were waiting. Mearez stood quietly, still worried, still horrified at what had happened back at the White Pack. Serena, however, will have none of it when I announced I am going to the Empire’s Grove.

The moment she set eyes on me, she rushed forward to block my path. I stopped before her, my gaze locked on her angry face, the anger that barely masked her fear of losing her only younger brother.

“You can’t go anywhere, Lycannar. I refuse,” she said. I waited, knowing nothing more would come. “It’s the Empire’s Grove. You’ve only just healed from the illness she caused you. Will you still go… and die for her?”

The illness Zephyrine caused, the third curse from the Moon Goddess. I could see death, but I must not tell anyone how it would come. I had already broken that rule once when i informed Zephyrine how the Luna would die, and I had paid for it with seven days of immense agony.

Today, I had only just begun to recover, and I had rushed to her, only for her to collapse before me. I swallowed hard and turned to Serena.

I said nothing. That silence said everything, and she knew it. Her mask slipped, and slowly, tears welled in her eyes.

“Why is it that my opinion never matters to you, Lycannar?” she asked, her voice tired. Then she punched my chest, frustrated. “Why do you never take me seriously? Can’t I give you an order and expect you to follow it? Is it because you are a king now?“.

She turned to Mearez, who stood silently, lost in her own thoughts and turmoil.

“Mearez, he listens to you better. You should tell him going to the Empire’s Grove will get him killed! Those spells cast in the Black Tower weren’t just for show! He’s both dangerous and vulnerable the moment he leaves the kingdom. Can’t you tell him?!”

Mearez didn’t respond. Serena, frustrated, brushed her tears angrily and left the hall, making me swallow hard.

Silence fell. I shifted my gaze to Mearez, standing there. We had left the White Pack together, and it felt as though she already knew I would go on this quest.

I walked toward her gently, but she held out a hand to stop me. Without a word, she turned and left in silence.

I swallowed hard at their departure. For a moment, I wondered.

Mearez stood by her carriage, while Serena was nowhere in sight. I glanced toward her corridor but it was

empty.

I was about to walk to my horse when footsteps came. Serena appeared from the hall, a saddlebag in hand. Silently, she fixed it to my horse. When she finished, she turned, pressed her lips briefly to mine, and walked away without a word into Mearez carriage.

I swallowed hard. She was stubborn, masking her fear and frustration with anger.

I turned to the saddlebag but didn’t open it. Instead, I mounted my horse. I hadn’t told any other people about this journey.

Everything else could wait. I wouldn’t take more than one night outside the tower. I would be back before nightfall tomorrow. Sick or healthy, nothing would stop me.
