Years ago, when Trevos the second was in early adulthood, he meets a young boy called Valdemyr, a mysterious refugee from Solakyos kingdom who come hidden in a crate with a merchant to Amerikos Empire shores seeking to meet the Emperor...
"My dear prince, is the water hot enough for you?" A woman softly whispers while massaging the back of Trevos as he was standing inside his pool filled with hot water, starring at the torch in front of him as holding the edge of the pool with arms while she stands behind him...
"Yes." he answers then she gets closer to him and hugs him from behind putting her hands softly on the neck and shoulders of Trevos while pushing her breasts on his back then she whispers, "Do you like my hands?"
"Yes," he answers again without even feeling the moment, as he continues staring at the torch
"My dear prince, what is wrong? Why are ignoring me? Are you bored with me?"
Trevos answered, "No. I just..." then with his left arm he punches the pool's edge as she got worried she hugs him again and whisper "please my lord tell me what is wrong?"
Trevos "Who I am? Anna? Tell me who I am?" as he grabs her hands then turns to her waiting for her answer "You...You are the brightest prince in the world, the greatest I may add, no prince in all kingdoms have your powers, you are Trevos, the son of..."
Trevos screams at her face"NOOO! I'm not! No! I'm not the fucking son of the great Trevos...I'm the great Trevos I will become the greatest and not because of my father name...It will be my name only my name, I will conquer the world. No, I will burn it down and everything beyond"
As he gets heavily breathing, tears in his brown eyes, "I will burn them all..." as he repeats it, Anna quickly jumps to hug him and cool him down, "My hot prince, Of course, you will be greater than your father... They will help you achieve it, believe in me, believe in us, my lord we will make you the greatest ever, The Omen from the sky wants someone to achieve what your father couldn't they want you to be the king of the world so don't ever let this worries you ok? Now relax and let us continue our bath."
Then they continue swimming together, as the smile back to his face until the guard comes to interrupt as asking the prince to come to his father chamber to meet the new incomer...
Trevos 2nd, was unhappy for the interruption, but this was a direct order from his father, so he can't refuse, quickly puts his clothes on and follows the guard toward his father's chamber...As he was entering, he turns to the guard and says "You are lucky I didn't burn you alive for stopping my enjoyment hour with my girl"
Guard bow down to the prince asking for forgiveness, Trevos couldn't care less while opening the door and closing it so hard walking toward his father with anger expression asking his father "Why? Don't you know I was taking my daily bath? why the hurry father?"
"My son, haha come, you will continue your bath later, I have an important guest for you" The emperor, walks down hugging his son and then both went to set in their thrones, getting some wine then moments later he orders the guards to bring the guest
An old man merchant with an injured young boy, with dark ugly hair and dark green eyes and pale face, brown skin, small mouth with broken teeth
"My lord, the Emperor Trevos and his grace son I may represent to you, this little boy, Valdemyr the last remaining prince of Solakyos kingdom, the only rightful future king..."
The emperor start laughing immediately asking the merchant is he sure about this young boy as the merchant trying to convince the emperor with handwritten words from the dead king and the father of the young boy
"My lord, as you heard what happened to Solakyos lately...the rebels took over the capital and killed all the royal family they burned them alive but Valdemyr was at Walikos city nearby doing a treatment, when rebels start the war against his family, the king send me this message to take Valdemyr away and cross the sea to you"
"Valdemyr was a great king indeed, he was an ally to me, I feel bad for what happened to him and his family, those traitors will be punished and your kingdom will back to you, my little boy"
Emperor Trevos after he reads the later to confirm the identity of the boy, he looks down to the boy who doesn't even have an expression in his face, as he put his eyes on the emperor's son looking to each other as like there is something between them.

"Valdemyr the son, look to me, you will stay here under my protection until I slay everyone who betrayed your family and I will assure you soon you will back to your family throne, to your place as the new king, see this is my son Trevos the second the same as you got the name from your father, he can be your friend now, and an ally in the future"
Valdemyr didn't react to what the emperor said, kept silent, didn't even smile or feels happy he was just looking at the emperor, the merchant stare at him telling him to at least say thank you
the merchant quickly says, "Oh Lord, thank you so much, as you see he still on shock from the events, I apologize for his behavior towards your generosity"
Emperor with a smile in a face he says "No problem, you have done your job, you will get paid his weight with gold and you are free to live and continue selling your goods in my empire. As for this silent boy, I will let my maids deal with him, a few days later, and he will be fine."
Then the emperor orders the maids to come and take Valdemyr to his room inside the large castle...Later he asks his son to go and try to speak to Valdemyr and try to get to know each other as believed both must be allied in the future but Trevos the 2nd refused and asks his father about his decision on letting a refugee from foreign kingdom comes inside the empire doors
The emperor explains "My son, you are an adult now, you should understand how the things go by now. I will not stay here forever as you know! I'm an old man I had to spend all of my years fighting battles and creating the one large empire to stop the bloodshed in this land...I wish I could conquer the southern kingdoms too but sometimes you don't need the power to take what you want. See, sometimes you need allies to help you win as I did. Win a friendship with him now and when he back to his place he will help you conquer every inch in the south and by that you will be the conqueror of the world. A great emperor as me and I believe that is your destiny, my son."
After he heard the wise words from his father and reconsider his future Trevos the second went to meet Valdemyr in his room, who refused to talk to any to the maids, he refused to go out from his room when Trevos entered his room, he got slightly shocked from the weird position Valdemyr was setting on bed
"What the hell are you doing?" Trevos asked Valdemyr, who completely ignores Trevos which make him more anger "Answer me or I will burn you...Stop ignori..."
"Burn me? Like they did to my family? Can you do it?" The boy finally speaks and smile to Trevos
"What? you want me to burn you? But you are the prince also our guest...just what the hell wrong with you?... Hey come on answer me...what the fuck are you doing?"
Trevos gets closer to Valdemyr who holding a tiny piece of wood and trying to insert inside a small bug
"What are you doing?" Trevos asked
"Enjoying my favorite game" Valdemyr smiles again.
Trevos start laughing at Valdemyr while saying "Oh now I see you enjoy torturing beings...I got another way to torture people and it is easier than this...Look I will use it when my fath...No I will get those traitors and punish them for you"
"Can I do this to them?"
Trevos with a devilish smile in the face "Yes you will I will burn them all while they are on sticks, you can put them like that and I will burn them it will be outstanding view ahh and that nice smell of burning flesh while they are screaming in agony, you will enjoy it too little V...I love burning people alive ahh my god."
"Burn them? as they did to my family? no! they will die quickly. See this bug didn't die yet! I can hear it scream I can feel it ask me to kill it but no it is my toy I won't kill it I just let stay like this"
Then he put the wood piece up standing on a nearby table and then goes to the nearby window and ask Trevos to come and look with him at the black sky as it late at night.
"See the ball over there? do you think I should put my traitors there?"
"Ball? Do you mean the moon? ah yes! if you reach it before me haha see I will burn the moon too I will build a huge bridge and I will conquer it too and then burn it like the sun"
"Ah, but who put fire on the sun? if that wasn't you?"
"I'm not sure! but I will find him someday and why not burn him too haha come here V, let's go to my room and let us there play some real games, like chess, do you know how to play it?"
Back to Jake and other knights who went Novarx to investigate about the lost merchant inside the deadly desert.
"No way I will send my men to the desert. You will get paid for the loss of all the goods your men lost."
Diego with anger trying to convince Jake who insists in going to find the lost merchant "But he is our merchant. He is maybe alive and lost somewhere there"
"If you want to be a hero, go! go alone find him I will not risk my men for one simple man...This is real-world my friend, people die everywhere every day, because that what fate have to them. I'm sorry for saying this but it is over, you will get paid and you will return to your king who really doesn't care about that merchant, he only cares about the gold."
Diego last words before he goes out from the room, leaving Jake and Chris alone...both were chatting about the mission and arguing about rescuing the merchant until their mate Steve comes to them with a paper having new orders from the king
"...Jake, Steve, and Chris, my knights you should go to Solakyos Kingdom you have another mission there...You will meet their king and he will fill you the more details..."
Steve reading the message and asking Chris and Jake about this new mission and why only three of them have to go alone to the Solakyos, the most feared kingdom in the south to meet the most feared, dangerous king, Valdemyr
"We are going to meet that psycho, Oh shit, we are going to see V the Impaler but why? why just 3 of us? damn it"
"What are you scared, Chris?" Jake asking Chris with a worried expression in the face...
Steve adds to that by saying "Come on, he is not that really scare king, he just cruel and strange-looking king with weird habits"
"And with lust for the blood, history says after he returns with entire Amerikos army to recapture Solakyos and kill the men who revolt against his family years ago...With the aid of Trevos the 2nd he burned many villages and slaughtered his own people until he reached the capital and did that disgusting punishment he comes with..."
Steve continues with Chris retelling of Vlademyr's story
"Yes, he put spears inside their body from their ass to their mouth while they are alive and then put them all over his castle..."
Chris interrupts Steve saying "Not just that, all their families, friend and supports got captured and tortured then when rebels bodies become bones, he did replace them with them...And people often say he drunk their blood with his wine...Truly pure evil and our king want us to meet him..."
Jake set on his chair again and says "Yeah...Well, that the order...let's stay here for the night and tomorrow morning will go there and it is going to be a long ride to hell."
