He shook his head slowly, the smile on his face faint but genuine. “I wanted to know. Many times, I wanted to open it. But I didn’t. Not even once. I didn’t even let the thought grow, because I knew the weight of the promise I made.”His eyes glistened faintly, a tired but peaceful gaze.“But now that it’s finally in your hands...” Ramos continued, his voice trailing with hope, “I have one request, Master Damien. One request before I go.”Damien sat up slightly, his attention focused.“I want to know... what’s inside that box.” Ramos’ lips trembled with the confession. “That’s all. Let me leave this world without that curiosity still sitting in my chest. I’ve wondered for too long.”For a brief moment, Damien was silent, his eyes heavy on the box. Then, he looked back at Ramos and gave a slow, steady nod.“No problem,” Damien said calmly. “Since that’s what you want... I’ll open it.”His fingers brushed lightly over the wooden surface, his gaze steady, prepared to reveal the secret th

At that moment, hearing what Ramos had just said, Damien didn’t speak immediately. He stood there for a brief moment, his eyes fixed on the old Ramos whose body was already giving way to time. Then, without saying a word, he walked forward, his steps calm and deliberate.He reached for a chair positioned beside Ramos, pulled it out gently, and sat down slowly, his gaze still locked on the old Ramos’s fragile figure.Damien leaned forward slightly, his elbows resting on his knees, his voice steady but low.“Ramos... you’re talking too much,” he said, his eyes narrowing faintly but not in irritation, more in quiet disappointment. “I didn’t come all this way for this.”At that moment Ramos managed to looked at him, confused for a moment, his lips parting slightly as if to speak again, but Damien raised a hand lightly to stop him.“I came here to see you,” Damien continued. “To talk to you... to spend these last moments with you. Not for all this you’re saying.”Then his voice softened, b

At that moment, Damien inhaled deeply, steadying himself before he finally stepped forward and walked into the mansion.The moment he approached the grand entrance, the massive double doors opened almost automatically, revealing the polished brilliance of the interior. Standing at the entrance were three servants, all neatly dressed, their posture straight and formal. As soon as Damien crossed the threshold, the three of them bowed deeply, their heads low in respect as he walked past without sparing them a glance.Further inside, security guards stationed along the hallways caught sight of him. Without hesitation, each of them, one after another, bowed silently as Damien made his way deeper into the mansion, his steps steady, his face unreadable.Then, the butler, an elderly man with a sharp appearance and quiet grace, appeared from one of the side corridors. Upon seeing Damien, the butler immediately bowed respectfully, his voice low but clear.“Sir... this way,” the butler said, his

At that moment, hearing what his brother had just said, he narrowed his eyes, his jaw clenching tightly. He stood firmly, his gaze never leaving his elder brother’s face as he asked with a deep, heavy voice, “Then tell me... what are you suggesting?”His tone was sharp, layered with controlled impatience written all over it. “Where are you driving at with all this? Are you suspecting anybody? If that’s the case, just say it.”He took a step forward, his fists tightening at his sides. “Just give me the go-ahead, brother. If there’s someone you have in mind, say the word, and I will crush them, I will grind them into powder.” His voice grew colder, his eyes sharper. “No one disrespects this family... no one takes from us and breathes easy, I mean no one.”At that moment the room was filled with his threat, his promise of destruction hanging in the air like a sharp blade waiting to fall.But Victoria’s father didn’t react hastily. He sat back, resting one hand on the armrest, the other

At that moment the man let out a weak gasp, his throat constricted, his face twisting from the unbearable pain.However his boss eyes stayed locked on him, pure hatred burning in his stare. He raised the man even higher, his muscles tightening, preparing to slam him straight to the floor hard enough to break bones, enough to silence him forever.But just as his arm was about to swing down.“Relax.”The deep voice of his elder brother Victoria father— cut through the tension like a cold wind.“Relax,” he repeated, his tone firm but calm. “Let the man speak.”Then he stood still, his arm frozen mid-air, his chest rising and falling sharply with each breath of anger. He turned his head slightly, his eyes still sharp, waiting for a reason to finish what he started.Victoria’s father sat forward in his seat, his eyes calm but focused. “Maybe... just maybe... there’s some truth in what he said earlier.”For a moment, the room stayed silent, the man still dangling helplessly in his’s grip,

At that moment, hearing everything Victoria’s father’s younger brother had just said, the man who was standing there with his cheek swollen didn’t dare say anything. He didn’t even flinch. He stood rooted to the spot, his head low, his eyes glued to the floor like the tiles suddenly became the most important thing in the world.He knew better, he knew that when his boss was this angry, the worst possible thing to do was to talk. No excuse, no explanation, no attempt to clarify just silence. That was the only safe option.Because his boss... was no ordinary man.He wasn’t just the younger brother of Victoria’s father. He was a former retired War King, a title that carried weight across the nation. A man who had stood in battles where hundreds fell and still returned without a scratch. His name alone was enough to make seasoned warriors shiver.But his boss wasn’t satisfied with just that legacy. After retiring from the battlefield, he did something no other War King had done, he steppe
