2026-03-05 03:00:24Alex was a mage. It was a secret. He had no Emperor gifts, but regardless of this, if such a thing were disclosed, the boy would be made to leave his father’s noble house, something nobody wanted.
The mage had evaluated Tyler, as requested by Henry Kramer. He confirmed that Tyler Esteil had magic in his blood. Not like everyday people, but like a storm, a deep well, a reservoir, but heavy, denser.
It was why the young mage could not ‘see’ Tyler. If Alex were a thermometer, Tyler

When Tyler opened his eyes, no one was in the room.He got in the shower and stood under extremely hot water for a long while.When he finally began to move, the spray had turned cold. He dried off, dressed, and went out to the sitting area.“Tyler, how are you feeling?”Tyler smiled hesitantly. He glanced around. “Where’s Raymond?”“Asleep. He doesn’t seem to have gotten much of that lately.”Tyler nodded. “What… What brings you here?” he asked quietly.“I called you. Earlier. For hours. I got… worried.”“Oh. I didn’t know you had this address,” he replied, moving toward the couch across from Emily.“Are you hungry?” Emily asked patiently.“What?”“They said you’ve been asleep all day. Are you hungry? Thirsty?”He smiled again. “Madam, you have saved me once again. I thank you,” Tyler stated hoarsely.“Saved? I didn’t do –”He nodded at her wrist. “That, saved me.”“From… From w

Tyler blinked rapidly as sweat poured from his forehead. The others in the room seemed frozen in time, and he was suddenly with a body, facing the Emperor.“I’ve been waiting for you.”Tyler’s mind rushed to keep up. A shadow passed right beside him, stepping forward.“Sire.”“What kept you?”“He didn’t want to wake up.”“Ah!” The king’s gaze moved from the shadow to Tyler.Tyler fell to his knees. The king smiled again.“You should not have been made to suffer so,” the Emperor said quietly. “This one was taken too soon. That too was not supposed to happen.”Tyler blinked, mouth agape as tears spilled from his trembling eyes.“You have been alone for too long. We cannot change that. Your power has been caged. That, we can correct.”It is time. Our enemies are stirring again. They come from all sides. Without that which belongs to you, they will take advantage once more to harm my progeny.Tyler’s bod

“Tyler,” she whispered, placing a small hand on his cheek. “What’s happening to you?”Her hand slid to his chest, which was barely moving. She sniffled and turned to Charles. “What of Lord Kramer? Has he been informed?”“The Master would not want that,” Charles replied respectfully.“But,” her eyes darted to the sleeping man, then back to the servant, “this isn’t normal, right? I’ve been calling all day,” her eyes drifted back to the man under her palm, “he didn’t answer. I got worried.”Her eyes moved to Raymond, who was sitting on the far end of the bed. “Is there no one else we could contact?”He shook his head, his tired eyes on Tyler. “They are too far away, or it’s too dangerous.”Emily’s brow furrowed as she eyed the slightly younger man carefully. “Dangerous? How so?”He blinked, raising his gaze to hers. He smiled shakily.“Raymond? Are you… okay?”“I… I don’t know.” His eyes fell back to Tyler. “I… don’t unders

Lincoln glanced off to the side. Tyler poured him a drink and refilled his own glass.The mafia leader reached for his brandy and finished it in one gulp. Tyler replenished it.“Why the Perrisels?”“Who better to run a campaign of cleaning up wrongful noble acts than our very own political masters in these uncertain times?”“Ha!” Lincoln scoffed. “And whose fault is all this?”Tyler grinned. “A curse, Boss Brazer. Let’s blame it on a curse twenty years in coming.”==========An hour later, Tyler left his sponsor, a digital drive in his pocket containing everything the mafia lord had gathered on Milton Drakson.He would have a long night ahead of him, and he wanted to get a head start. He was about to be the busiest he had ever been in a while.==========“Hey.”“Hey. Have you eaten today?”Tyler paused at his bedroom door. He half turned to Raymond. “No… come to think of it.”Raymond pointed t

Raymond Belarnt had always been a rather steady person, in general, but this was a new man. A different man.His eyes searched his former colleague’s calm face and light smile.He had heard about Raymond’s disappearance from the hospital, his dalliance in Karisa, with Tyler Varsen, or whatever the pretender’s fucking name was, and then his move to live with the traitor.His brow furrowed as images of the past rushed through his mind.Ashley had been beside herself for days on end, from when her cousin disappeared till when he returned, and for a full week after. Then, suddenly, days after a council meeting – an event he and his colleague had known about thanks to their roles – after being sullen and edgy, she returned from a meet-up with the man whore, on cloud nine.The same fucking bastard who had her very own cousin living in his home.It was not right. Tyler Varsen – Esteil – the fuckever – was not right.Raymond’s hold tightened,

“The boss dun talk out of school, Master Esteil, but he’s been out of it a bit since he met up with ya last week, and Myka’s been distant since he went to see ya in K-city,” he continued, his voice low, their conversation within a shield that Harrison had thrown up as he turned to face Tyler.“Now that I see ya under lights, I think I get it.” He pulled the door closer to him as he stood in place. “I remember that time in da Vault.” He nodded at Tyler. “I think I get what’s happenin’.”“I ain't gonna ask what happened to the guys followin’ ya the other day, but if ya need anythin’, anythin’ at all, hit me up.”Tyler’s back straightened. His face hardened as all lightness left his expression. “What do you see, Harrison?”Tyler had always respected the other man’s instincts and intuition.“The Master of K-city,” Harry rumbled, leaning on the door, almost as if it were a shield or a connection to reality. “I don’t see ‘im often, but,” Harry nodded at
