Baby sisters
Rune was distressed about his sweeties when he heard someone's sobbing. It was very faint, and if not for his heightened senses which were ajar as he was hiding from his sweeties, he would have surely missed it. He followed the voice and soon came in front of his parent's bedroom.
It was awkward for him to stand before his parent's bedroom and eavesdrop on them, but his gut said that something was wrong. His mother was crying heart-wrenchingly that day. He had only seen his mother cry twice only, the first time his mother cried that much was right years ago, when his sweeties were sent to the hostel for their studies, and today was the second time. His heart told him that his mother was probably crying again because of his sweeties.
His mind was in utter chaos. He had several questions but no answer, "What is happening? Why are there so many riddles but no solution? So many questions but no answers?? Are his sweeties in danger???"
With a mind full of questions, he decided to spy on his parents. He easily broke his father's defenses and stood by the door merging into the shadows, so that no one could see him. As he heightened his senses he soon could hear faint voice of his parents.
He heard their complete conversation. At the end of the conversation his heart turned cold and his whole body numb. He swiftly started his father's defense again in case he noticed and went to his room and he exhaled a deep breath which he didn't know that he was holding.
He changed his clothes in a hurry and wore his sleeping robe, then laid on his bed. His mind was in a complete mess, everything around him was messed up, he didn't know who his allies were and who were his enemies. The conspiracy was far more sinister than he imagined. Earlier he was still confused about some matters, but now he was clear, at least he knew where to start from.
No matter what, his sweeties were his priority and the only thing that mattered to him was their safety and wellbeing.
To hell with Lord Arthur, Knight Vladis, Reinstle empire, and to hell with everyone. Come what may he would protect his sister at any cost even if he died in the process.
And with this thought in his mind, he was clear about what to do and what to protect, without any delay he succumbed to sleep.
In his dream, he saw a beautiful cradle that was rather big than any other cradle. Inside the cradle, he saw two tiny little girls who were smiling and had their fingers inside their mouths. He also saw a young boy around 4-5 years who was gripping the cradle and was staring at the little girls nonstop.
"Mother, mother are these little sweeties really my younger sister", the little boy asked in his cute voice, with some anxiety.
He was afraid that his mother would deny him and thus he had already made several plans to abduct the babies. To his relief, his mother nodded with a sweet smile.
