Chapter 3

I was woken up by a loud knock at my door, I reached for my glasses then finally remembered I left the at school when I was running away and now I can get them till tomorrow that’s just great. I sighed, then checked the time on my phone, seeing that it had been a few hours since I fell asleep. I rolled out of bed, did a quick stretch, got up, and then finally answered the door to be greeted by my attendant, Oliver

"Hello, Young Master Hitori, it's time for you to get ready. You need to be there in about an hour, so we need to hurry. Please follow me to the bathroom." I answer as I was yawning, still a little sleepy from the nap before, "Oliver, please tell Father I won't be able to join him, I'm going back to sleep."

He tells me that he already let me skip my daily training to let me sleep and that I can’t skip the meeting too plus Xariel Father's annoying personal assistant, but he is more of a babysitter if anything, always bossing me around and breathing down my neck, told him that this meeting is especially important". I reluctantly agreed, after all, he was practically begging me to go get ready

I took a quick shower, then put on the clothes Oliver had prepared for me on my bed. Oliver came back, he helped me dry my hair, then fixed small out of place details like straightening my suit, and finally he placed and brand a new pair of glasses on my face. It was so nice to see properly again

Noticing the time I quickly make my way downstairs As I made my way to my father’s office, I noticed a black, sleek car pull up in front of the house. Father's guest is almost here, I need to hurry.

I finally made it once I entered. Father scolded me about being late, I simply responded that I wasn't planning to come. He sighed and said Just take a seat, I fell back on the seat to mentally prepare for what comes through that door.

Then suddenly the door opened, but I couldn't recognize the first, which usual, because Father made me memorize investors and business partners. As I was trying to figure out who that was, I saw Ambrose!? Looking quite nervous like he didn't want to be here, kinda weird not seeing him smile

Father finally introduces them as Ambrosesius and Roycelyn Thorwnveil OH MY GOODNESS, did he just say Thrownveil those powerhouse who never show their faces in society

Then it all made sense why father was more upset than usual, why he told me to apologize in person instead of making our legal team silence them with money, and if that doesn't work, the "occasional" threats, it's because I offended a Thornveil but how was I supposed to know is the same guy who has been bothering me for months was from such a powerful family

Father immediately got up from his desk to greet the man. "Hello, thank you for coming so we can settle this matter quickly"

With a smile somehow faker than Ambrose, Royce answered, "But of course I would come, I don't take too kindly to my Little Brother getting harm," while looking directly at me!

Then he faces father once more and says, "Alright, here the plan Tomorrow, your son will publicly apologize to publicly apologize to my brother tomorrow" My fear quickly turns to rage I quickly stood up and yelled "and why would I do that why it is his fault this started in the first place"

He responded what it doesn't matter what I want as long as I am beneath him, I can't do anything about it because that's how the world works and considering that all he is making me do is apolo- gize I should be kissing his feet because of how merciful he is being to me, but he only strength- ens my rage.

I responded "like hell I am." then I looked over at my Father giving me an almost pleading look begging me not to escalate the situation, but I just don't get how he can remain calm standing there like a fool while they insult us even when we didn't even start this mess.

I shift my attention back to that smiling asshole and him as hard as I can aiming for his head if he wants me to kiss his feet he can taste mine in- stead, then this man proceeds to counter then knock me to the ground Damn I really did end up at his feet it wasn't supposed to be like this...
