Prologue

It all started when I was young... when I was 8, my family was robbed by a group of strangers and took my parents life. I luckily survived, but I wish I didn’t. I thought I was lucky, but I never knew that something that lies ahead of me was worse. After that incident, the Lien family broke down, nothing was left behind. They wanted me to be the next Young Master but I refused. This one person was trying to steal my family’s throne. With him there, I couldn’t join the family again.

Slowly, I became a orphanage and was sent for adoption. One of the Families from the 4 lords decided to keep me in. The 4 lords were the most powerful people alive, they had control over most things, and each had a lord to guide. Each 4 Lords were split into 4 families, each one had its own lord. People started gossiping of how they envy me. They were jealous, but they never knew what it was really like. I met a young boy from the family, about the same age as me. I’ve never really intended to talk to anyone after what had happened to my parents, so I stayed silent.

“ This is Ray, he’s our son, just a few months older than you.” I remember his mother said to me. She was the only person that treated me right. When I first took a look at Ray, his eyes were red, and cold. He looked at me as if he pretended I wasn’t there. His hair was a navy black color, split to the side, and he was proper. At least I thought he was. “Hi...” and there was no answer from him. Back then, I wondered what upsetted him so much that he wouldn’t talk to me. Was it because I joined their family? But things got worse from there.

I wasn’t treated right at all. Ray’s mother was the only person who cared for me, other than that, no one else did. Whenever Ray saw me, He would trip he purposely or push me away. He would yell at me harsh words. He never cared for he,neither did his father and I wanted to get out, I wanted to run away from him.

People would say we were brothers, but we would never call each other that. We were step brothers. I never want him as one. EVER.

He’s like a demon, no, he is a demon.

When I first found out, I was shocked. I was living in a house full of demons. And I didn’t know what to do. But I still kept it a secret, even now. But by the time me and Ray turned 9, His family died. I didn’t know exactly why but I remembered Ray weeping non-stop. If the family wanted to continue, they would need a new lord.... and yes, it’s Ray.

After he had become the next Lord of the 3rd lord family, he started treating me like trash, or, even worse. I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I ran away, further and further. I never want to see that mansion again, and... his face.
