"Kai do not do this now it's an order!"Hugo said sternly
"Too late." Mateo said running towards the arms
"KAI BEHIND YOU!!" Hugo shouted but he was too late it had already happened
Mateo was laying on the floor with blood gushing out of his back
Weirdly enough he still had a smile on his face maybe he felt excited from the joy of being given one of the most important tasks like protecting the arms on the battlefield maybe that built some suspense for him making him excited or maybe he felt like he was finally doing something for his brother.
The only thing that is for sure known is that Mateo might not survive this.
Though Mateo had a smile on his face, his whole life flashed before his eyes starting from when he was just a little 5 year old he would ask his father "Daddy i wanna go with you i will protec you." but all his father would do was giggle, gently rub his head and leave with his brother(Joseph),this made Mateo feel angry and incompetent, he felt like he was useless and being used for nothing unlike his brother.
Though, Mateo always had his mother who would tend to him whenever this happened. She would make him his favourite food and order clothes and toys online since they were not allowed to go out without guards and most of the guards went with Joseph and his father most times but his mother always cheered him up no matter how sad or angry he was, this all ended when his mother died, the doctors said it was from natural causes but Mateo's mother was very young she was still considered as a woman in her peak years not even near the age of menopause, Mateo knew that she didn't die from natural causes but he forced himself to believe so as it was the only way that he could actually make his father believe he was a strong man and capable of taking over his father's business and making him proud. Weirdly enough Mateo was never jealous of his brother being taken to important meetings of his dad and given more responsibility he just thought that his brother was simply better than him and he was incapable of being as good as his brother, when those times came when he was sad that his father chose his brother everytime he did important business he felt like it was only based on his brother's and his ability and not how much he loved them both though he could never get over the death of his mother, he knew he had his father, that is until his father died a year later from again "natural causes" he cried a lot that day just like he did for his mother but over the years his brother would tend to him and treat him like a baby and always take care of him this made Mateo feel loved and cherished though he acted like he didn't like it, he always felt the need to pay his brother back for all this though they always have had their own fair share of fights, he knew his brother loved him and he knew he would do anything for him.
