Lilith gasped. But Kyle did not even make a single noise, much less gave any reaction to it. He only gave a hard glare to his eldest brother. It was as if the strong hit was just a slap to him which was obviously not the case. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Are you trying to provoke me? Huh, Kyle? Are you acting like this because I exiled your beloved brother Kai?" Zeke’s voice was emotionless but even the ground was almost trembling at the sheer amount of pressure he was exerting.
At the mention of Kai, the young vampire stiffened. Zeke grabbed the back of his neck roughly and pulled him closer to him.
"I guess it was a mistake that I refrained from telling you the truth. I’d understand that you’re in your rebellious age, but this is something I can no longer tolerate. Listen..." he bent to whisper in his ear. "Your brother is not exiled because he loved and married a human. I banished him to this country because he will live and die as a human from now and can no longer live as a vampire..." As Zeke narrated the truth about Kai and the price he had to pay for his choice, the young prince trembled, and clenched his fists so tight his knuckles started to turn pure white, and his blood began to drip on the floor. Kai had been his favourite brother.
When he was a child, Kai often visited him and had taught him most of his fighting skills. He loved Kai the most within the royal family. In fact, he was the only one he could feel really comfortable with and let down his guard around. He was always tensed up in the presence of his other brothers, especially towards this eldest brother of his. That was why when Kyle heard that Kai was exiled and could never return to the kingdom again, he was devastated. He had asked Ezekiel the reason why when it just happened, and the answer he got at that time was because Kai fell in love with a human.
"You have to understand our reality Kyle. Your beloved brother is already a huge loss so don’t ever try to repeat the same mistake. Yes, Kai managed to keep her alive by sacrificing himself, but he only managed to make it work for them because he loved her more than anything else in this world. Even more than you, his family, his status, his power, his people, this kingdom and more than his own life! I will never allow anyone – especially you to trade all these things just for a woman again, you hear me? It would do you well to heed my warnings and keep that in mind. I will do whatever it takes this time. I don’t care if you hate me for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"
