"He died, didn't he?" Drooping his shoulders a little, Greyson could definitely guess the subsequent events.

"Yes, he did. Irumen was older and more powerful, and he used his bloodline suppression ability. Ermes did not stand a chance."

"Lutea tried stopping the battle and claimed she would marry Irumen if he would just let Ermes go. But this did not a.s.suage Irumen, instead it made him more upset by forcing him to witness their deep love. Without hesitation, Irumen cut down Ermes. After watching the light leave his eyes in her arms, Lutea was never the same. Locking herself away in Ambrose's cave, she has not come out to see anyone in centuries. Rumors say she has gone insane and barely feeds herself properly. The guilt and regret combined with crazed anger just broke her, especially because Ambrose would never allow her to take revenge. Almonis also changed after this event. Ermes was his best friend, and his dear sister lost her mind. Training everywhere, he grew in power exponentially. This increase in power came at the cost of his past kindness. All that remained was cold apathy." Brevre let out a long sigh feeling the situation was too depressing.

"Yes, that unfortunate boy. They were such pleasant and happy children. If something like that ever happened to Elbianth, I don't know what I would do. I guess Ambrose was correct in his words earlier. It is possible we have been too unsympathetic..." Reminiscent and wistful, Freizon's face softened out.

"No! You know that ever since he was young Ambrose harboured lofty ambitions. As much as I can maybe believe he truly cared for his children, they do not come before his goals. If he genuinely cared about his son, why did he not stop Almonis before all these changes occurred. There was nonetheless another child who could be saved. Plus, he only went through the motions seeking a cure for Lutea. Many things could have helped her mental condition, but have you seen him go out looking for them? Look at Ermes' parents, they are not treated any better by Ambrose and actually do not agree with his actions. Their son died, yet they do not support Ambrose?" Elder Brevre did not agree with his wife at all. The children were to be pitied but not Ambrose. It was not only one to two things that did not add up with Ambrose.

"Grandma, Grandpa, how powerful is Almonis?" Greyson suddenly cut in with a question.

"Almonis? Why do you ask?"

"I mean compared to Irumen."

"Oh, well, this is another issue your grandfather and I worry about. He is powerful, undoubtedly. However, powerful enough to defeat Irumen and severely injure him? We are not completely convinced."

"But he also confessed. Even a witness came forward who put Almonis at the scene of the a.s.sa.s.sination. Which makes our doubts moot and no use."

"Witness?"

"From the Light Dragon tribe."

"A guard or servant of Irumen?"

"No, Irumen was alone. It was the Second Young Master's servant."

"Second Young Master? Irumen's younger brother? He has one?" Greyson was a little surprised by the sudden news. In all of his time in the tribe, not one person mentioned this younger brother.

"Yes, a real stand-up young dragon compared to his older brother. He is very low-key and not much is known about him. According to the servants, he is gentle and calm."

"What is his name?"

"Elophis."
