After a few minutes of complete silence, Jason and Daphne watched as Kurt retracted his sharp gaze
and hugged Vivian.
“Don't be scared,” he consoled in a tone much gentler than before.
That sudden transition formed such a huge contrast that he looked like a completely different person
from earlier.
At that sight, Daphne, the Astorian woman, trembled again before she mustered the courage and
asked in a shaky voice, “H-How do you know my name? A-Are you from Elysium too?”
“It doesn't matter who I am. You should be more worried about your own safety, Daphne. If you want to
live, I suggest you destroy that face!” Kurt snarled as he fastened his eyes on her again, striking a
greater fear into her heart.
“No... This face belongs to him!” the woman protested when she noticed him sweeping his sharp gaze
toward her son.

the face of the king's son! Did you really think you could escape his clutches simply by hiding here?”
Kurt questioned, narrowing his eyes.
He did not move much as he was holding Vivian in his arms, but Daphne could see a gloomy look in
his eyes when he said that. That ice-cold darkness resembled a terrifying abyss that destroyed
everything it sucked in.
Daphne fell into despair and slumped to the floor.
Not only does he know about my identity as the former high priest of Elysium, but he also knows I betrayed the tribe and escaped! Who on earth is this guy? How does he know so much about my past?
I've been living a peaceful life here for twenty years, so how does a teenager like him know such details about me?
“W-Who are you?” she asked in a trembling voice after a long moment of silence.
That time around, Kurt did not answer her question. With a swift flick of his wrist, a gleaming blade flew
out of his hand.
In the next second, a sharp pain tore through Jason's face. He instinctively held a hand against his
cheek, only to see blood flowing out of the cracks between his fingers.
“Jason!”
Vivian leaned against Kurt's chest when they got into the car, her mind still in a daze as it tried to
process the bizarre incident she had witnessed that night.
Although she had seen far worse when Ian got betrayed and when her parents defended the country,
she was a bystander during those situations and had people protecting her.
However, she was directly involved in the incident that night and could have died at the hands of
Daphne if Kurt did not show up in time.
The ordeal was so terrifying that the mere thought of it caused her to shiver uncontrollably.
“Are you cold?”
Kurt pulled her closer into his embrace when he felt her shivering.
She must be scared out of her wits... Well, it's understandable. After all, she has been cared for like a princess her entire life, so it's only natural for her to be traumatized after experiencing something so dangerous. The fact that she's able to maintain her composure until my arrival is an impressive enough
feat as is. Honestly, she's not the only one who's afraid. God knows how scared I was when I found out what happened back then...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was the first time he cast aside his inhibitions and held her so tightly in his arms.
Probably because the warmth of his body and the sound of his heart beating strongly in his chest
calmed her nerves, Vivian eventually felt at ease enough to speak again.
“Kurt, do you really know that woman? I... I only followed Prince Jason to his place because he looks
just like Calvin...”
Her dulcet voice cracked as she started sobbing again at the mention of Calvin.
Calvin? She knows my brother? How come I've never heard about it? Could it be that...
Fighting back the countless thoughts racing through his mind, Kurt asked, “Who's Calvin?”
“Calvin Woods. I call him Brother Cal, though. Daddy put him in charge of my safety when I was young,
and he was really nice to me. He'd tuck me in and take me out for walks... Everything was going great
until some bad guys caused his demise...”
Vivian buried her face in Kurt's chest and began wailing as she recalled the moment of Calvin's death,
which haunted her like a nightmarish curse.
Kurt, on the other hand, was completely frozen in shock after hearing what she said about Calvin.
So, my brother really was working for the Hayeses too?q
