Chapter One Hundred-Twenty-Four:
'Death. That almost endless death is what I always see and I can hardly count how many deaths I have witnessed but the one I have not seen is my own death. I met my death and it is all because of my flesh and blood, my twin brother.
Jealousy, obsessions and hatred, everything was mix up on him and I don't even know about it. My own brother, my twin, I never thought that at his very hands I would die. Everything I dreamed of, everything I ever hoped to do finally stopped when I died. I lost everything in one death.
Death. I really thought I had lost everything but a light shone. A light that gave me hope, to have a chance to live again, another life, another self, another chance and another death. When I had a new life again, I also had another chance to give my twin a new life.
He lives as I live. Just like before when we were Immortals, he is my twin. In this new life. In these new beginnings. Though one thing changes, our parents showered us so much love and care. We received an equal love and care that he needed from the very beginning. Given us everything, equally and balance. A worth saving soul. That was given to him. And yet evil never fades.
His soul, his love and care were eaten, thrown into a deep dark sea. Making him soulless, merciless and evil, a pure evil but I came and promise to save him. Even if I sacrifice my life and my all just to save his soul.
Death. Once again, it came to me. Even in the end, death will always win.
Death. What are you to me? I asked myself.
Answer: Death is my twin that will never fade away as long as I save my brother's soul.'

Morning…
When I woke up that morning I was just as amazed at what I saw. The room that I am sleeping is unfamiliar, but the feeling that I should be afraid I do not feel. Instead, I feel like I am so happy. So contented. And I like and love the feeling that blossoms inside me.
I really don't understand but this is so fine. I just stretched out and I was so shocked when I felt like I didn't have a single garment of my own. Not a single thing. I am fully naked like a newborn baby.
"What--"
"Good morning, Love!" suddenly a man's voice greeted me happily.
When I look at to see who it was, I am surprised seeing a man of my dreams. The only man captured my elusive heart, the only man that I learned to love just for the first sight. The only man that takes my breath away and now I am frozen I intently staring at him.
Am I dreaming? Or maybe I'm just delusional? I am not so sure, but one thing that I know, I am fully naked right now! But why is that? And why am I in another house?
"…" I wanted to say a word but I couldn't think of anything I just keep staring at him though to my surprised. The fear I should have felt as he approached me, I didn't feel. Instead, I feel so calm and happy seeing him as he came closer and hold my hand as soon as he reached me.
"Love, what's wrong?" he worriedly asked and don't know why, I just quickly smile at him.
"Nothing." I replied. "How long have I been sleep? I didn't feel you when you woke up." I said and I don't know why I am so sure we slept together last night and… we did it. Just thinking of it makes my face burn and he saw it clearly.
"You're gorgeous, my Love." He suddenly said that makes me blush more and I couldn't say a word. "Anyway, to answer your question, it's only seven in the morning so you don't have to worry. So now," he stands up after releasing my hand. "Fix yourself first before we eat our breakfast, alright?"
"Ye-yes." I stammered and I hate it but what can I do, I am so confused by the situation happening to me right now. And all I can do is let myself do what my body remembers.
Manu Kingdom
Manu Palace
"My King," Damond came in and bowed before he continues. "Someone wants to talk to you."
"And who is that?"
"Marquess Truman." He announced.
What he said really surprised me because Marquess Truman Kier, father of Wafi Kier, was an aloof person and even though he had a position. He never once showed himself to anyone not even to his king, me, though I received his sincere respect and acceptance before I was crown as their king. He is just a really elusive person and almost never leaves their palace but his skill and diligence are obvious because he was able to develop his constituency even if he was only out once in a blue to showed himself to his people. And this so sudden visit makes me really wonder why he suddenly shows up.
"Let him in." I ordered and afterwards he was standing there in silence. "You may leave us, Damond." I said and he left quietly. "What a pleasantly surprised, Marquess Truman."
"My King." He bowed as a respect before he speaks. "I'm so sorry for the sudden visit but I have something important to discuss with you." He seriously said that caught my attention.
Knowing Truman, he is one of the most reliable Vampire I know and whatever he said was all the truth that is why I'm taking it seriously.
"Tell me, what is it?" I firmly asked.
"Death has come to your child, my King."
"What?!"
…
What should I do? I seriously asked myself because after what Truman told me. The decision was left to me. And if I'll tell the truth, I already decided.
