"What even is this deal supposed to be about?" I questioned and this time, he clearly perked up.
"It’s about your throne, and my younger brother." He revealed and I rolled my eyes.
"I’ve gathered that already. But, what’s the details of this deal supposed to be about?"
Kendrick pursed his lips for a moment. "Your father is in consideration of making my younger brother is heir. I heard for a few trusted sources that’s it’s already being worked on, and no offense dear cousin, but the entire council of the clan are on the same footing as him. They’re all in support of Kai accenting the throne since they all have an... unpleasant image of you."
I let out a bitter scoff. "If you think I’m bothered about that, you’re wrong. I’m not. Besides, you clearly don’t know my father like you’ve assumed because my father would never make someone not baring his name, his heir, because if he does that, that would put an end to the reign of his name, something my father would never let happen." I explained while putting out my second cigarette once again.
Kendrick laughed as if already expecting my response. "Correct. You’re right, which is why Kai had agreed to take on your father’s name before accending your father’s throne." He revealed and I
His lips thinned once I was done speaking and he inhaled sharply.
"Kai took my birthright, and he had the audacity to threaten to behead me when he becomes king. It’s only logical that I get him out of the picture before that happens, no?" He shot back, jaw clenched a little and as I regarded him, I felt a little pity towards him. It must have sucked to watch his brother get accepted by everyone while he was on the side.
"If I agree to this agreement, what would I get in return?"
He had a on pleased expression this time.
"You know I was always around way before you were born, right? Which also means that I know a lot of things. I can tell you about your real mother for example, because I don’t think you’ve heard a thing about her, much less knowing who she was."

A lot of things was on my mind as I strolled down the sidewalk of the busy road. The encounter I just had with Kendrick had left me feeling extremely puzzled and curious.
I didn’t give him a clear answer, I told him I’d get back to him after thinking about it.
Now, I’m supposed to head back to school, but I feel too unsettled to do that.
I’ve always been curious about my mother. About who she was, what she was like, and if she had a family. Having Kendrick offer to tell me about her was unexpected, and a little suspicious, because it rubbed me the wrong way that he knew exactly what to put on the table to snag my interest.
I was certain I’ve never revealed my desire to actually know who my mother was to anyone before. I didn’t know a single thing about her that whenever I dream about her, all I see is a faceless woman.
The encounter made me feel more weird than I’d like.
Which was exactly why I told him I’d think about it.
