To rebuild both of your trusts for one another, you guys will have a friendly spar
Renji Takahiro (guard)
Is that even a good idea? What if Cae gets hurt!?
Daria Volkov
Stop worrying about your bestie for a bit~
Daria Volkov
*looks at Anastas* go on Anastas! Defeat that leech!
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*sighs* whatever Daria….
Daria Volkov
Eeekkk! He replied to me!!!
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
(We are literally are cousins!…argh whatever) *rolls eyes over to Cae*
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
Let’s just get this over with
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
Yea yea…
The lights overhead buzzed faintly, casting sharp shadows across the polished floor.
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*rolls up his sleeves*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*takes off his tie and let out a sigh*
Neither of them spoke.
A bell rang once.
They circled.
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*rushes in with a kick which Anastas stumbles upon* You’ve gotten slower *he said, feinting a jab*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
I’m holding back *he replied, blocking cleanly* You break too easily *smirks*
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*smirked and breathes in low and sharp*
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
Say that again…
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*punches him*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*blocks it*
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*kicks*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*dodges it*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
That’s it….im ending this *kicks Caelum chest hard that struck Caelum’s ribs*
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
Agh!
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*stumbles* tch…
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
You deserved that….
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
(This bastard….he was being so ‘nice’ for some reason just now on the roof but now he is being ruthless)
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*lunges at him and hits his chest*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
Agh…damm…you are calling for war
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*holding on his chest*
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
Guess you are getting old~
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
I’m only 4 years older than you brat!
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
Ahh! *pushes Anastas down
Fists cracked against jaws. Elbows struck ribs. Blood kissed the corner of Caelum’s mouth before he hit back, harder.
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
You think you’re still heir? *Caelum snarled, throwing Asya into the wall* You think you can come back and take what I bled for?
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*spits blood onto the mat*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
Tch *clenches his fist* I never wanted your ‘place’
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
I never wanted your throne *looks at at Caelum*
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
Then…
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
WHY ARE YOU HERE?!
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*his fist trembles*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*wipes off the blood on his face*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*slowly stands up*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
I’m here because someone has to keep you from destroying everything we loved.
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*He stepped forward again. Close. Too close.*
You wear the name like a crown of rust.
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*snapped*
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*tackled Asya to the floor, fists flying, uncoordinated, wild*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*reversed them fast, straddling him with a firm grip on his wrists*
They panted in silence.
Just the sound of breathing. And bruises.
And something else.
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*looks at Anastas*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*his hair had fallen in his face, damp with sweat and rage. His dark blue eyes flickered like the edge of a storm.*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
You never did learn to surrender *whispered*
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
I don’t surrender *hisses at Anastas’s words*
Their faces were too close.
Their breaths mixed in the space between.
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*hands loosened just enough for Caelum to shove him off*
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*didn’t do it*
Neither moved.
Not for a long moment.
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*sighs and smirks*
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*stands up slowly, walking toward the exit. His voice, quiet and flat*
Next time, I won’t hold back.
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*walks away, leaving Caelum alone on the mat*
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
….
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
*clenches his fist* AGH!!!
Renji Takahiro (guard)
You good? *rushes up to Cae*
Daria Volkov
*runs to Anastas and hugs his arm* you did so well baby!!!
Anastas “Asya” Volkov Rosenthal
*says nothing*
Daria Volkov
*keeps flirting with Anastas*
Renji Takahiro (guard)
*picks up Cae* you good?
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
You asked me that twice…
Renji Takahiro (guard)
Cause you didn’t reply…
Caelum “Cae” Rosenthal
I’m fine! *shoves him away and limps back to his bedroom*
Renji Takahiro (guard)
(Stubborn as ever)

Lucien Delacroix (advisor)
*watching it with Mariya* Young Master Anastas is still quite strong
Mariya Rosenthal (mother)
He must have trained while he was away…i mean he did claimed he did *whisking her wine glass*
Lucien Delacroix (advisor)
It is possible
Mariya Rosenthal (mother)
Once again the crown for the throne is cold….
Mariya Rosenthal (mother)
Btw how’s my husband…
Lucien Delacroix (advisor)
Master Viktor is asleep Ma’am
Mariya Rosenthal (mother)
He doesn’t have much time right….i heard from the doctors…his heart condition has worsened
Lucien Delacroix (advisor)
…yes Ma’am…we need to have a heir as soon as possible
Mariya Rosenthal (mother)
….since the blooded son of mine is back…let him continue the legacy
Lucien Delacroix (advisor)

Mariya Rosenthal (mother)
