Grand Duke Phiteus Winstone is the ruler of the city of Amphissa on the east. He is the little brother of King Feran Winstone.

After the nobles rebelled in the kingdom, King Feran came to him first. Because of that, he did not suffer significant losses.

When his brother left for the Argos city in the north, he wanted to go with him. But his brother had stopped him because he was weak as an average human.

After the destruction of the Grand Duke Hector Drakos's Palace, the spies of Grand Duke Phiteus told him about the death of Hector and his wife.

When he heard this, he quickly left for the royal capital without saying anything.

When he reached the royal capital, he went to the Intelligence Bureau.

In the Intelligence Bureau, He entered Commander Perseus's workspace.

When Commander Perseus saw him, he became shocked for a second, then he stood up, lowering his head to Phiteus to show respect.

"I Welcome Grand Duke Phiteus Winstone into the Intelligence Bureau."

Commander Perseus' behaviour weirded out Grand Duke Phiteus Winstone. He tried to stop the commander with the gesture of his hands.

"Now, Now! It is weird for a brother to show this kind of respect to his brother."

Commander Perseus took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"I apologize! It is just that the recent events a toll on myself."

Phiteus also had lost many friends in the recent rebellion, so he understood the pain.

"I too am distressed by the recent rebellion because I have lost many friends, and we have lost our dear Brother Hector Drakos."

Commander Perseus gave a sad expression after hearing this, so he decides to share some information with his brother Phiteus.

"Our Brother King Feran has also been feeling sorrowful and depressed by the death of our dear Brother Hector Drakos. So when he heard that the High Elves are preparing for a Great War, he became wrathful. After that, he ordered me to send the envoys to the Kingdom of Celethir, the Kingdom of Daenys, the Forest of Revenna, Forest of Galos, Forest of Shandalar, and all the light races. He wants the unbound races that gave us their word to fight with us against the dark races even though the unbound races are forbidden by their gods to be on the attacking side. I tried to talk with him, but his anger and sorrow are too deep to think of these actions' consequences. Furthermore, he gave a royal chamber to our Brother Hector's son to live in the palace with him and his family. He did this so his pain of losing Brother Hector can decrease, but I am happy that our brother's son can now have a good childhood."

Phiteus Winstone was shocked at what Commander Perseus said at the end.

He did not know that their brother Grand Duke Hector Drakos had a son, and that son had survived. His spies had told him about a child carried by the King from Hector's Palace, but he never knew that this child was his dead brother's nephew.

"Our brother had a son?"

Phiteus Winstone tried to confirm what he had just heard, so he asked his brother Perseus again. Perseus gave a smile while giving his answer.

"Yes, But our Brother's son was born on the day of the nobles' rebellion in Tyras city. Because of that, he did not saw his son for long."

Tears started falling from his eyes, and he grew restless and anxious to see his nephew.

"Than I…….. I should………. I should leave for the Royal Palace at once.

On hearing his nephews' news, he sprinted towards his royal carriage sitting on the driver's seat. The driver was eating dinner nearby as they travelled for more than 6 hours without eating anything.

Phiteus was very anxious that he started to drive the royal carriage himself without waiting for the driver to come back.

He drove the royal carriage very fast and reached the Royal Palance in 32 minutes.

"Who goes there?"

When he reached the gates, the royal guards recognized him immediately since he was the king's brother. But they wanted to confirm.

"My Grace! Grand Duke Phiteus, is that you?"

Phiteus being very anxious, immediately replied.

"Yes, It is me! Now open the gates. I must immediately see my brother."

As the royal guards heard this, they started to wonder what to do when suddenly one of them asked Phiteus.

"My Grace, Should I announce your arrival to the king?"

Phiteus was starting to get annoyed that the royal guards were not opening the gates, so he immediately said after hearing their question.

"No need. I want to surprise my brother with my entrance, SO OPEN THE GATES NOW!!!"

The royal guards saw Grand Duke Phiteus annoyed face, and they did not want trouble with him, so they listened to his order and opened the gates.

Phiteus entered the Royal Palace. He lied when he said that he came to see his brother. Because in truth, he came to see his nephew. So he started searching for his nephew's Royal Chamber.

"Damn! I should have asked brother Perseus for my nephew's Royal Chamber number."

When Phitues was searching, the servents nearby started looking at him but not recognizing him. It was because most of the servants were new and had not seen the king's brother. They had only heard about him.

One of the royal maids recognized him at first glance and lowered her head to show respect to the Grand Duke.

"I welcome Grand Duke Phitues Winstone to the Royal Palace of the Elders."

When the nearby servants heard this, they also lowered their heads to show respect to the Grand Duke.

"We also welcome Grand Duke Phitues Winstone to the Royal Palace of the Elders."

One of the servants left to the Head Butler Greysen to report the arrival of the Grand Duke Phiteus.

Phitues recognized the first maid that bowed to him after recognizing him.

"Circe! Is that you?"

Circe was not surprised by Phitues' recognition of her. But she acted surprised, lowering her head again.

"It is an honour for me that the Grand Duke recognizes such an insignificant person like me."

Phitues knew that Circe was angry at him; that is why she gave such an answer. It was because he had not come back to the Royal Palance for move than 8 years, and Circe had not seen him since.

He was quite embarrassed after seeing her and hearing her reply, but he decided to forget when she said and started laughing at the situation.

"Hahaha! Of course, why would I not recognize my old friend and the second head maid at my brother's palace."

Circe was getting more annoyed because he was not answering her for leaving for such a long time.

"It is a great honour for me that the Grand Duke Phiteus knows that I am now ahead maid at the Royal Palace even though His Grace left the royal capital 8 years ago and had not returned since before today."

Phitues knew that he was at fault, but he was searching for his late brother Hector's son right now.

"Do you know where my late Brother Hector's son is?"

Circe was a little shocked as she thought that he had come to the Royal Palace by himself because of the recent rebellions.

"Yes. He is in the Fifth Royal Chamber."

After hearing this, Phitues became very joyful. He kissed Circe on her right cheeks unknowingly and sprinted towards the Fifth Royal Chamber in his joy. Leaving Circe very embarrassed and frustrated in front of so many servents.

"What are you people looking at? Don't you have work to do? Go back to your work, or else I will cut some of your pay for slacking off."

The gathered servants left quickly while making a smiling expression towards the Second Head Maid Circe. This left Circe even more frustrated.

"What the hell is wrong with him? He left for 8 years without telling me anything. Now he comes back and starts acting as nothing happened. Ahhhhhhhh! What did that kiss mean?"

She thought of all this in her mind while an unknown fire started to burn in her heart again after 8 years.

While this was happening, In the fifth Royal Chamber, Adonis Drakos is in the arms of Maid Larisa. It was the second time he had woken up in the Royal Chambers.

He had drunk milk before a few hours ago, but he suddenly had a powerful urge to drink milk again when he was sleeping.

So when he awoke again, he grabbed the bosoms of Maid Larisa, showing that he was thirsty.

Maid Larisa had a magical power to produce milk. Because of that, she was first hired to be the wet-nurse of the king's son Prince Caius. After he no longer continued drinking it, she was appointed as the Queen's Personal Maid. But she was never given any land.

When the Queen asked her to become the wet-nurse of Adonis Drakos, she wanted to reject. But the Queen also offered her land and a nobility rank of a baron. Hearing that, she immediately agreed.

Because of this reason, she wanted to do whatever she could for the heir of House Drakos. So when he grabbed her bosom, showing that he was thirsty, she immediately allowed him to drink milk.

When he nearly finished drinking the milk, he was thinking in his thoughts.

"Ahhh! Such peace and love. I wish that time would stop so that all my pain would fade away."

Then someone opened the door without knocking.

"Nephew! Are you here?"
